Attention: Constance O. Smith
Reference: Benefit Unit Calculations
WSIA # 1
Dear Supervisor Smith and Board Members:
At the Board's request, I have analyzed the existing Benefit Unit (RD.) statistics for the
Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area # 1 (WSIA). The results of my analysis are
summarized in the enclosed chart.
The major conclusions of my analysis are as follows:
. I calculated the total residential RU's to be 1626.06, an increase of21.91
B.U over the current total of 1604.15.
. I cal culated the total Commercial B. U ' s to be 160.17, an increase of 17.39
RU over the current total of 142.78.
. I calculated the total Utility B.U's to be 22.10, an increase of7.51 RD. over
the current total of 14.59.
. I calculated the total Exempt Lot RU's to be 258.83, an increase of 52.15
B.U over the current total of206.68. Please note that the Town owned
Parcels under this category were not included in the totals because they do not
pay taxes to the WSIA.

Re: Benefit Unit Calculations, WSIA # 1

. I calculated the total Special Franchise B.D.'s to be 25.58, a decrease of31.42
B.U. from the current total of57.00. Special attention should be given to this
result, because of the method of my calculations. Since the assessed values
listed in the tax rolls for the three (3) Special Franchise owners are totals for
the entire Town, I adjusted them to reflect the assessed value just within the
WSIA. I did this by muitiplying the total a~sessed franchise value for the
entire Town by 16.5%. This 16.5% figure represents the number of parcels
within the WSIA (1585) in proportion to the total number of parcels within
the Town (9611). I had a brief telephone conversation with the Town
Assessor, Ms. Linda Tassadfoy, regarding this matter, and she seemed to
agree with my rationale in arriving at this figure. I would suggest that Mr.
Albert Roberts, Esq. be consulted on the matter.
Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions or require additional
information.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,

1. The assessed values for the three (3) franchise lots were adjusted to reflect the fact that the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area encompasses
only 16.5% ofthe total lots within the Town of Wappinger (1585 out of9611). Each franchise total for the Town was multiplied by 0.165 to
arrive at an equitable franchise assessed value within the District.
2. The totall-C-l Benefit Units were calculated as follows:
)> The total residential assessment is: $110,184,828 (77.7%)
The total loC-I assessment is: $ 31.631.200 (22.3%)
$141,816,028 (100.0%)
)> % ICI Assessment = # I-C-I B.U. ~ 22.3 = 1-C-l B.D.
% Res. Assessment # Res. B.D. 77.7 1626.06
)> Total ICI Benefit Units = 466.68
)> This total is then apportioned for each individual commercial lot according to its assessed value.
