Box 3207 poughkeepsie, New York 12603 Planning Board Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent Town of Wappinger P.O. Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Reference: Nicole Farms/Road Improvements Dear Sirs: As everyone may remember, there are certain intersection improvements that were required of Mr. ~ames Klein, Developer of the Nicole Farms Subdivision, at the west side of the intersection of Kent Road and All Angels Hill Road. Originally, there had been worked planned on both sides of All Angels Hill Road, however, due to the interference between the utility poles and the water main on the east side, that work could not be done. It is time again for the performance bond that is securing the work on the west side to be renewed, and Mr. Klein has asked what the status of the project is. If it is still the Town's and County's position that the intersection work on the west side be done, then we should relay that to Mr. Klein, and insist that he do the work during calendar year 1999. If it is not the intent of the Town to pursue the work then we should ask Mr. Klein for the monetary value of the work, and utilize the dollars elsewhere. Please advise this office which direction to pursue. Very truly you.r~ fl. / _/J u c . ~/.J) (;:~.~~ Paggi, Jr.,'P'.E'. . JEP:law cc: Don Close Hon. Constance O. Smith, Supervisor Hon.

Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Reference: Nicole Farms Dear Graham: At the October 5th, 1998 Planning Board Meeting, the intersection improvements planned for the Nicole Farms Subdivision at Kent Road and All Angels Hill Road was discussed. It was the opinion of the Planning Board that the problem that needs solving is to better warn the motorist approaching the intersection from the west or uphill. It was their opi~ion that the motorist coming up the hill have a difficult time determining where the stop line is at All Angles Hill Road. This is due to the existing vertical restrictions. It was felt that at a minimum advanced signage (Stop Sign Ahead, Warning, etc.) be placed at the foot of the hill, and that a Stop Bar be placed at the top of the hill. This will improve the visual warnings for the motorists. With respect to whether or not the intersection improvements or vertical realignment should be made, the Planning Board did not have an opinion. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office. ~e truly y?s./J.~ l - '%fi, oseph E. Paggi, JEP:law cc: Hon. Constance O. Smith, Supervisor Hon.
