Mr. Lehigh stated that is not the issue before the Board.
Mrs. Ginader stated Laws are in place for safety reasons. They have a shed on their own property that none of
their neighbor's care about except the Zoning Board.
Mr. Fanuele stated Home Depot put up a shed and totally ignored the Town of Wappinger Zoning Laws. They
knew 10 feet is required, but they chose to ignore that.
Mr. Ginader stated they chose to ignore it because they did not want to go through the variance process. It made
common sense to them to put the shed in the existing location because it looks the nicest there and it is out of
the way. She asked the Board to made a decision so she could get home to her children.
Mr. Fanuele made a motion to close the public hearing.
Mr. diPiemo seconded the motion.
V ote: All present voted aye.
Mr. diPierno made a motion for a Neg. Dec.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion.
Vote: All present voted aye.
Mr. Fanuele made a motion to deny the side yard setback variance as requested by Mr. & Mrs. Ginader.
Mr. Fanuele stated the Ginader's could help get Home Depot on line by having the.....
Mrs. Ginader stated the people came from New Hampshire to put up the shed. They, Mr. & Mrs. Ginader, told
Home Depot where to put it.
Mr. Ginader stated Home Depot has no responsibility for what is happening. They told Home Depot where to
put the shed.
Mr. Fanuele stated it is the Ginader's responsibility. They chose to ignore the rules.
Mrs. Ginader said yes, so they would not have to go through this.
Mr. Fanuele felt anybody that chooses to ignore the rules is wrong. If you do not like the rules, you can not
arbitrarily ignore them.
Mr. Ginader stated they can appeal the Law or change the Law because sometimes the rules do not make sense.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion.

DISCUSSIONS
1. Mobil Oil Corp. - On- The-Run Convenience Store - To discuss 4 variance request to construct a new
convenience store. The property is located on the comer of Route 82 and Route 94 in the Town of
Wappinger.
Mr. Romig, Esq., Mr. Virbickas, PE, and Mr. EI lamel, were present.
Mr. Romig, Esq. stated they have been before the Planning Board for site plan approval. They have submitted
applications for 4 variances. No.1, they are seeking a 58 foot front yard setback in lieu ofthe 75 feet which is
required for the building. No.2, they are seeking two additional illuminated building sign, whereas only one is
permitted. No.3, they are seeking a variance for the size ofthe freestanding pylon. The existing pylon sign is
approximately 48 sq. ft.
Mr. Lehigh asked for a copy of the sign permit for the existing pylon since it is over what is permitted.
Mr. Romig, Esq. stated what they want to do is take the existing sign and lower it down to a monument sign
which would be less imposing. The last variance they are seeking, No.4, is a rear yard variance for the
proposed building. A 25 foot rear yard setback is required and they are proposing a 12 foot setback.
Mr. Lehigh asked if they have a letter from the Planning Board recommending the variances.
Mr. Romig, Esq. stated the Board sent a recommendation for the front yard variance and the size ofthe pylon
sign. At the last Planning Board meeting they discussed the rear yard setback. Because the property is on a
comer lot, the Code gives the applicant the election of where a rear line is. The property is odd shaped. They
felt it would be best to let the Board determine where the rear line is located. Ifthe Board feels the rear line is
next to the building, then they have their variance request in place for that. Currently the existing structure is a
19 foot rear yard setback.
Mr. Lehigh asked if they have a variance for that since 25 feet is required.
Mr. Romig, Esq. stated there is no variance for that. He believed the reason there isn't a variance is because
they decided at that time that the rear yard was not near the building, but instead near the septic area. He
showed the Board a plan of the propose monument sign.
Mr. Fanuele felt the whole monument sign is part of the sign (including the stone).
Mr. Lehigh asked if they have a permit for the existing pylon.
Mr. Romig, Esq. stated there is an existing permit for the sign, but not for 48 sq. ft. He believed, at some point
the Zoning Administrator had taken the basic sign and did not include the pricing as part of the square footage.
Mr. Fanuele was concerned that the proposed pylon would block the sight distance.
