COLSEY JOSEPH P. PAOLONI ROBERT L. VALDATI I support your letter of February 19, 2002, on the above referenced subject. However, I would like to add some comments, which consist primarily of itemizing issues which I hope will not be overlooked during the upgrading of said Ordinance. They are as follows: • Distinct differentiation between stationary Vendors and holders of Temporary Sales Permits • The issue of Veterans and any exemptions/privileges they might be entitled to • Clear, uncomplicated Permit Application procedures, perhaps even including a process for "special circumstances" • Precise steps for efficient Enforcement Thank you. 1 ZONING DEPARTMENT 20 MIDDLEBUSH ROAD P.O. BOX 324 WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY 12590-0324 TELEPHONE: (914) 297-6257 FAX : (914) 297-4558 August 17, 2001 TOWN OF WAPPINGER Mrs. Constance O. Smith, Supervisor Town Board Members Town of Wappinger RE: Hawking and Peddling Licensing - Vendors Dear Mrs. Smith and Councilmen, CONSTANCE O. SMITH Supervisor RECEIVED AUG 2 01 2001 TOgN CLERK FcF� TOS `QUI �c�FR In view of complaints about the locations of current "stationary" hot-dog vendors I have reviewed Section 175 and have found that 5(B) of said section states that applicants are required to receive a Special Permit, in accordance with Section 240, Zoning, prior to receiving the Hawking and Peddling license from the Town. This seems not to have been done in many years, if ever. Further review put me into a quandary. Consider the following: Section 240-43E, Zoning, states that Site Plan approval ....is required for all Special Permit uses. In view of the fact that the vendors must conduct their business in areas "legally open to public use, such as public streets, sidewalks, roadways, highways, parkways, alleys, and any other public way," how can one prepare a site plan? Section 240-43.B.(2), states that "where the Town Board is the approving agency, the application shall be referred to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation." • Section 240-49, states that "when the Town Board is ....... the approving agency, it need only give consideration to and generallybe guided by the .......standards and requirements." Of the present licenses holders, three are "stationary" peddlers/vendors. Not one of them is in compliance with the requirements of Section 175-12, which spells out the restrictions on locations and distances. Yet they have been issued permits regularly. I have already written to all of them and have included copies of Section 175. One vendor's license recently expired. She has already come in for a renewal and is now understandably confused by the news that she is not in compliance. I feel that, at present, it is not right to begin a crack -down without giving the vendors the necessary time to bring things into compliance. But it is necessary to pinpoint just what will constitute such compliance. I ask the Town Board to address this issue, perhaps at a Workshop, so that both the Town and the applicants are clear as to both the procedures and the requirements involved in this licensing process. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours;, ' WI, UZI Tatiana Lukianoff Zoning Administrator cc: Mr. Albert P. Roberts, Attorney to the Town Mr. Daniel Wery, Planner file -OL014 C(eulk 7j, JUSTICE COURT TOWN OF WAPPINGER MILL STREET WAPPINGERS FALLS, NEW YORK 12590 April 20, 1970 Town Bbard Town of Wappinger Wappingers Falls, New York Gentlemen: Each year as Spring arrives, so do the hordes of solicitors for various enterprises descend upon our Town. These people travel in groups, in many cases attempt to sell inferior or non-existent merchandise, create problems for the homeowner in that they will not take "no" for an answer, and also at times have brought fear to the hearts of housewives. May we suggest that this Town adopt an ordinance providing for the identity and licensing of peddlers itinerant vendors and the like so that there will be records and controls on this activity. It is our rec- ollection that such legislation was under consideration by your board in 1969, but to the best of our knowledge, no local low was established. May we call to your attention that there are local laws of this nature in effect in some of our surrounding townships and that the Office of Local Government is in a position to provide a model piece of legislation if such is your desire. Thank you for your cooperation. Respectfully s,,tbm.4ted, W1.LLIAM J. BULGER VINCENT S. FRANCESE TOWN JUSTICES WJB/VSF/ec r � M CHARLES J. CORBALLY (1966) JOHN J. GARTLAND, JR. RICHARD V.

Members of the Town Board: FLORIDA OFFICE' 50 SOUTH BELCHER ROAD BUILDING E. SUITE 122 CLEARWATER, FLORIDA 33SIS 813-461-3144 At the last meeting of the Town Board, a question was raised as to what regulations may be imposed upon hawkers and peddlers. The town may not prohibit hawkers and peddlers unless it is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, morals, or peace or for the promotion of the general welfare of the community. In the absence of a substantial outcry from the residents of the town with respect to the activi- ties of hawkers and peddlers within the town, I suspect that these preconditions do not exist. However, the town may, through its powers under section 131 of the town law, regulate peddlers and require their licensing as a pre- condition for activities within the town. These regulations must be reasonable and may not be such as to discourage altogether activities of this nature. However, the courts oDnstrue this to permit the prohibition of solicitation or peddling upon private property without prior invitation. RECEIVED OCT 6 1977 ELAINE H. SNOWDEN Town Board Page - 2 - October 4, 1977 Our ordinance contains only one regulatory provision with respect to hawkers and peddlers, namely, that they may not undertake their activities without first obtaining a license. The Board may want to consider further regulation such as regu- lating the time and place of such activities. Very truly yours, CORBA;IIY GARTtAND & 'RAPPLEYEA Jon Hollen Adams JHA/1g
