SUSPENSION OF RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA
ITEMS
Councilman Bettina moved to suspend the rules for purposes of public
comment on agenda items, second by Councilwoman McCarthy and
unanimously carried.
DISCUSSIONS:
• Phase 3A Special Legislation to Remove Certain Parcels. Supervisor
Ruggiero explained because certain areas would be better served by
septic rather than by a sewer system, special legislation was sought
from Albany to remove those parcels from the district. It was passed
this year and signed by the Governor. Attorney, Al Roberts,
announced this involved 10 parcels at the intersection of Old
Hopewell Road and All Angels Hill Road on the north east quadrant
which was subdivided into several building lots plus a larger parcel for
the main home. The other parcel was part of the Meadowood
Subdivision. He went on to explain what steps would be necessary to
formally remove these 10 parcels from the district. Mr. Terwilliger
prepared an outline of the refunds each parcel was entitled to for
calendar years 2003 and 2004, and the amount is approximately
$26,000 in refunds.
• North Wappinger Water District Extensions. Jay Paggi, Engineer to
the Town explained that several months ago a resident living on
Cindy Lane in Quiet Acres noticed a sizable leak in his back yard. He
contacted the water department and when they shut off his curb valve,
nothing happened. They found that there was a service connection
that was tied into a water main on Cindy Lane. It was not serving his
house, but extending through his property without benefit of
1
02/14/2005.WS
easements serving a lot on the north side of New Hackensack Road.
Mr. Paggi was asked to prepare a map, plan and report to correct the
situation. He explained what it would entail to perform the work. The
estimated project cost would total approximately $200,000. If a bond
were amortized over twenty years it would come out to an annual debt
service of approximately $28 per year. It is his opinion that this is the
most efficient way to provide water service to the homes involved. Mr.
Valdati said he had received correspondence from Bob Rawls
requesting consideration to connect his trailer park to town water.
Supervisor Ruggiero explained that we have many residents in the
town whose wells are marginal, are contaminated, and this existing
trailer park has a potable source of water. Mr. Paggi announced that
Mr. Rawls would need to prove water quantity and quality before the
town could even consider connecting the trailer park to town water.
Engineer to send letter to Mr. Rawls to demonstrate needs.
• Dutchess County Sports Museum License. Al Roberts Attorney to the
Town went over the license agreement that would give the Sports
Museum limited privileges to utilize a portion of the first floor of the
dormitory at Carnwath. He explained that a lease would give them an
interest in the property itself, and the license is merely a limited
privilege to use a portion of the property. Their monthly rental would
be $500 per month. Discussion followed
