RESOLUTION: 2009-196
Resolution Authorizing Conceptual Approval for Riverbend II Parcel to Connect to the
Sewer Transmission Main
WHEREAS, the TOWN has caused the construction of and operates a sewer
transmission line located in the Town of Wappinger, (hereinafter "SEWER MAIN") for the
purposes of collecting waste water within the Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment
Improvement and transmitting the waste water to the Tri -Municipal Sewer Treatment Plant for
treatment pursuant to a contract previously entered into between the Town of Wappinger and the
Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission (hereinafter the "TREATMENT CONTRACT"); and
WHEREAS, the Tri -Municipal Sewer Treatment Plant is owned collectively by the
Village of Wappingers Falls ("VILLAGE") and the Town of Poughkeepsie
("POUGHKEEPSIE") and is managed by the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission (hereinafter the
"COMMISSION") pursuant to an inter -municipal agreement between the VILLAGE and
POUGHKEEPSIE; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the TREATMENT CONTRACT, the TOWN has a total
contractual authorized sewer treatment capacity of 1,375,000 gallons per day; and
WHEREAS, the SEWER MAIN has a capacity to meet an average daily flow of
approximately 3,516,000 gallons per day, and presently uses 725,000 gallons per day on average
during dry weather flow periods; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the SEWER MAIN has excess sewer
transmission capacity sufficient to allow it to transmit sewage from areas outside of the permitted
areas authorized by the TREATMENT CONTRACT; and
WHEREAS, certain parcels located within the VILLAGE, that are within the TOWN,
abut the SEWER MAIN and would benefit by being pennitted to connect their sewage laterals to
the SEWER MAIN which would allow for the transportation of sewage from those properties to
the Sewer Treatment Plant via gravity flow rather than having to be pumped into the VILLAGE
transmission lines; and
WHEREAS, the VILLAGE has identified the following properties (by tax grid number),
which are located within the TOWN that would benefit by being connected to the SEWER
MAIN:
1. Hollowbrook of Dutchess, LLC, owner, Tax Grid # 135601-6158-19-688002;
2. Hollowbrook Associates, LLC, owner, Tax Grid # 135601-6157-07-709968;
3. TGS Associates, owner, referred to as Riverbend II Parcel, Tax Grid # 6158-20-
779013; and
WHEREAS, because of previous design considerations, the Hollowbrook parcels above
identified have previously been connected to the SEWER MAIN; and
WHEREAS, the VILLAGE has requested that the Riverbend II parcel be pennitted to
discharge waste water from this parcel into the transmission line; and
WHEREAS, the TOWN has conceptually agreed to accept the waste water generated
from the Riverbend II parcel located within the jurisdictional limits of the TOWN; and
WHEREAS, the VILLAGE has agreed that the sewage from the Hollowbrook Parcels
and Riverbend II that will be treated at the Tri -Municipal Sewer Treatment Plant will be charged
against the VILLAGE'S treatment capacity and will not be charged against the TOWN's
treatment capacity; and

IX. New Business
Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale asked for an update on the street light issue at Steinhaus Lane. Al
Roberts, Town Attorney, explained that this has been addressed many times and the Town does
not have the money. It will have to be built into next year's budget or the Town will have to
borrow the money. Councilman Beale noted that he has not received any memo regarding that.
Supervisor Colsey commented that he is compiling information to provide to Councilman Beale.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina commended Ralph Holt, Chairman of the Recreation Commission,
on his job putting together the recent Memorial Day services. He also commended Councilman
Beale on the idea to initiate a memorial for the Palmateer family. He thinks this is a great idea.
However, he would like the memorial to represent everyone in the Town of Wappinger. He went
on to compare the memorial at Schlathaus Park to memorials in Fishkill. He then recommended
that a committee be put together. He also asked if it was legal for the Town to take in money for
such a memorial. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, replied that it was legal. Councilman Bettina
again asked that a committee be initiated. Supervisor Colsey commented that Councilman
Bettina should take the lead on developing this committee. Councilman Beale clarified that the
memorial that he was planning was intended to be in honor of Sgt. Mark C. Palmateer, the first
Wappinger resident killed in Afghanistan. He has been in contact with the family for a number
of months regarding this, and the family supports this wholeheartedly. Councilman Bettina
replied that that is great and well needed, but also feels that the Town needs to go the extra step
and involve all service people. He again asked that Mr. Holt put together a committee for all the
people of Wappinger.
Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni asked for an update on the Montfort Road issue. Supervisor Colsey
noted that the Zoning Administrator had told him that she sent a letter on this topic to
Councilman Paoloni. Councilman Paoloni replied that he had not received any such letter.
