Vergilis, Stenger, Roberts & pergament 1611 Route 9 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Dear A!: I have reviewed our file and found the following documentation regarding the above refe.renced subject as it relates to proposed interim plot plans. o December 6, 1995 correspondence from our office to the Town Board. o January 31, 1996 memorandum from Frederick P. Clark Associates to Don Keller, yourself and myself regarding the amendments. February 1, 1996 review letter from our office to Frederick P. Clark Associates. I have also reviewed the Town Board minutes and find that at the January 22, 1996 meeting, our initial request for a change in the building permit process was discussed. It was moved to authorize Dan Wery to proceed with the amendments to the Building Permit Regulations. Apparently, Dan started the process, I reviewed it, and it died there. o I have reviewed the remainder of the 1996 file I have in my possession, and find no evidence that the subject was brought to a conclusion. I hope this information is helpful. Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office. v'/) trulv v~~ L ~paggi, Jr., P~ JEP:law Enclosure (4) cc: Hon. Constance O.

I.have reviewed the same and find them acceptable. Daniel K. Wery, AICP Amendments to Building Permit Regulations However, I would recommend that the word "foundation", as it applies to elevation, be defined. From my perspective, the foundation elevation required is the elevation of the top course of the block, and the elevation of the garage sill block. As Don said, the enforcement of limitations on the number of bedrooms imposed by the Dutchess County Health Department Regulations is a problem, and should be addressed. Possibly, some suggestions from your office would be helpful. Please contact this office if you have any questions regarding the above. d::i~~ Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:law cc: Constance O.

Donald Keller, Building Inspector r- Date: January 31, 1996 FEB-I~ Dt,GG1 & MARTi~< ..._ _.._..~_.n.-'_. Subject: . Amendments to Building Permit Regulations Attached for your review and comment are draft revisions to the Town of Wappinger Ordinance for Administering and Enforcing the State Building Construction Code, otherwise known as the Town Building Code. These amendments will require a foundation survey prior to any further construction to demonstrate conformance with the approved location and elevation on the preliminary plot plan for all new construction. Don Keller suggested that the Code might also be amended to require setting an elevation benchmark on each property to assist in the construction, inspection and enforcement of building permit requirements. Don also mentioned that enforcement of limitations on the number of bedrooms imposed by the Dutchess County Health Department is problematic and perhaps could also be addressed at this time. Once these amendments have been finalized, they should be recommended to the Town Board for formal adoption. Daniel K Wery, AICP Associate /Planning Attachment cc: Constance O.

If the solution was acceptable, Mr. Denardo was to have his attorney contact him so details on the necessary documentation could be discussed and submitted to the Town Board. The letter was returned unopened. SUPERVISOR SMITH said that she did receive an affidavit from the Assessor that the house is being occupied because breakfast dishes were left out. The School was also contacted, and the children are being picked up and left off at the house. The third report relates to the Widmer Road Project including issues that were discussed with John D'Albro and Al Berberich and concerns they were having on the proposed project. They are willing to allow for the necessary easements. Mr. Paggi would also recommend discussing Wheeler Hill, Spook and Old Troy Roads at the February Workshop. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Attorney to the Town prepare for the necessary land acquisitions for the Widmer Road Project. Seconded by Mr. Bettina Motion Unanimously Carried Next is a request from Mr. Paggi to add a requirement to the Building Permit process that would insure to the Town that the house is being constructed to the proper elevations and yard setbacks. This additional requirement would have the builder submit a certified intermediate plot plan at the completion of the foundation, prior to any framing being allowed, showing the following: SIDE YARD SETBACK FRONT YARD SETBACK REAR YARD SETBACK ELEVATION OF THE TOP COURSE OF BLOCK FOR MAIN HOUSE. ELEVATION OF THE TOP OF BLOCK AT THE GARAGE DOOR. This plan should be reviewed by the Building Inspector and our ~ D' ~ 1 960122.RGM office if necessary. This will assist the Town in determining whether or not the house is being constructed to the elevations and locations as shown on the original approved preliminary plot plan. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Dan Wery to proceed with amendments to the Building Permit Regulations. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried The last report is in reference to the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area No.1 Additional Collection Lines. Mr. Paggi recommends a workshop on this as soon as possible so that some agreement can be reached. COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to table this to the February workshop. Seconded by Mrs. Visconti Motion Unanimously Carried The next item for the Boards Consideration is a Change Order for the Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement Area Phase II, Contract 2E. Change Order No.1. consists of additional payment for labor and materlals for the generator to pump station connection. The additional labor and materials resulted from field changes required on the generator set, The switch which controls the electrical supply to the pump station was mounted on the opposite side of the generator due to structural restraints of the fiberglass enclosures. Also, this change allowed the communications and alarm wiring to be installed in a more accessible location. The additional cost of labor and materials was due to the extra 4 inch galvanized steel conduit and electrical wire required to connect the above PAGGI & MARTIN Consulting Engineers & Land Surveyors 54-56 Main Street Poughkeepsie, New York 12601 914-471-7898 914-471-0905 (FAX) December 6, 1995 Town Board Town of Wappinger P.O. Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance O. Smith Reference: Building Permit Process Dear Supervisor Smith and Board Members: It has come to my attention in the past month that it would be a good idea to add a requirement to the building permit process that would insure to the Town that the house is being constructed to the proper elevations and yard setbacks. This additional requirement would be to have the builder submit a certified intermediate plot plan at the completion of the foundation, prior to any framing being allowed, showing the fOllowin-g: o Side Yard Setback o Front Yard Setback o Rear Yard Setback o Elevation of the top course of block for the main house. o Elevation of the top of block at the garage door. This plan should be reviewed by the Building Inspector and our office if necessary. This will assist the Town in determining whether or not the house is being constructed to the elevations and locations as shown on the original approved preliminary plot plan. Would you kindly take whatever steps necessary to insert this in the Building Permit Regulations. ~?~~ Joseph E. Paggi, JJ1r.W JEP:law cc: Albert P. Roberts, Esq. Don Keller Graham Foster Joseph E.
