Public Comments
Mary Schmalz was first to speak. She asked if the residents will be allowed to speak
during discussions. Supervisor Colsey replied that the discussion would be a presentation only
and comments from the public would be limited. Next Ms. Schmalz asked why there was a
Resolution to remove Cranberry from the water and sewer districts. Supervisor Colsey explained
that, if there is a change in the zone, there may be excess capacity. Next Ms. Schmalz asked why
there is a Resolution appointing a negotiating committee. Supervisor Colsey answered that the
Highway/CSEA contract will be due at the end of the year.
Next resident to speak was Florence Graf. She asked why the Resolution for the roof at
Carnwath was not on the Agenda. Supervisor Colsey explained that one of the needed reports
did not come in. He hopes that the Resolution will be on the Agenda for the next meeting.
Frank Redl was next to speak. He spoke about a concern he has with the Comprehensive
Plan, pertaining to three pieces of property on the northeast side of Route 9. The parcels include
Fun Central, Better Tan, Guardian Self Storage and an additional vacant parcel to the north of
those. Mr. Redl showed a map that illustrates the recommended land use for his parcels. He
explained that he is urging the Board to give the parcels a commercial designation in the
Torn of Wappinger Page 1 Printed 8/27/2009

Comprehensive Plan. To change it to "office" would be contrary to the spirit and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan. Discussion about the parcels followed. Councilman Beale asked David
Stolman, the Town Planner, if HO would be the best designation for this particular area. Mr.
Stolman confirmed. Mr. Redl asked if that was the current zoning. Mr. Stolman confirmed.
Discussion followed. Kelly Redl addressed the Board on the same matter. She asked if the
Board would be considering a rezone for the properties. Supervisor Colsey and Councilman
Bettina answered that the Master Plan is not in place, so further discussion could take place.
Reed Swenson spoke next. He discussed the proposed zoning changes to his three lots on
New Hackensack Road. The proposal is to change one of his properties from R-20 to R-80. He
has been living on the property for 48 years. It has been in his family for generations. It has
been zoned R-20 for 20-30 years. He feels that the proposed change to R-80 does not fit the
character of the community. He went on to give reasons why. Mr. Swenson did note that he
would be agreeable to sign something saying that he would not develop the property for ten years
if it was left as is. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey commented that this is one of only a
few farms in the Town and he would like to see it stay that way. Mr. Swenson again noted his
offer to sign an agreement.

VII. Discussions
A. Grinnell Library Financial Presentation - Beale
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:26 PM. Beth Devine, President of the
Grinnell Library, was present to address the Board. She provided the board with the library's
annual report to the community, the annual audit report, as prepared by Sedore & Co., and their
findings and recommendations. She went on to summarize the operations of the library and the
services provided to the residents. Ms. Devine invited the board to prepare a list of question for
the Library Board or to come to a round table discussion at their board meeting to keep the line
of communication open.
Tony Campilii, co -treasurer of the Grinnell Library, explained portions of the financial
report. Councilman Paoloni thanked Mr. Compilii for coming and answering some of the
questions that he had. Councilman Paoloni asked how much the other towns pay and what
explains the difference. Mr. Campilii replied that the Town of Poughkeepsie budgeted $50,000
in 2008 and 2009. The library has a contract with the Town of Poughkeepsie for library services.
The Town of Wappinger, under Proposition 414, paid $314,874 last year. This year, under
Proposition 414, the voters voted to raise the amount to $542,874. The Village of Wappingers
Falls paid $32,500 last year and budgeted $35,000 this year. Councilman Paoloni again asked
for clarification on the difference in the cost for the towns and the difference in the increase as
well. Mr. Campilii explained that the Town of Poughkeepsie is well represented by the
Poughkeepsie Library District. He went on to explain which residents use which libraries.
Discussion followed. Councilman Paoloni recommended having Grinnell as part of a district or
having the towns pay for the operation on a per capita basis. Mr. Campilii went on to explain
what factored into the equation to come up with the figures that the library has asked the Town to
pay.
Councilman Bettina noted that Beacon has its own library district. He asked for
clarification on whether the Beacon School District was part of the larger district that Mr.
Campilii has been referring to. Mr. Campilii explained that there is a difference between the
district libraries and association libraries. Councilman Bettina then noted that his residents don't
understand why they have to pay for two different library districts. Al Roberts, Town Attorney,
explained why the residents pay into the districts that they do.
Councilwoman McCarthy wanted to make clear that the questions that the Board has, in
no way, indicate lack of support for the library. The Board is trying to understand the mechanics
of the Grinnell organization. She would like to sit down at a round table to be able to ask follow-
up questions. She also asked for figures on the amount of people that the library employees.
Councilman Beale encouraged everyone to stop by the library and utilize the resources that are
available.
Mary Schmalz asked to comment. She first noted that the service given by the employees
at Grinnell Library is wonderful. She is concerned that the town residents are subject to taxation
without representation because they can't choose who serves as a trustee on the Grinnell Library
Board. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:55 PM.
B. Drainage - Wildwood, Valley/Hilltop, Granger - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:17 PM. Mike Takacs, filling in for the
Engineer to the Town, summarized the drainage issues in Wildwood first. Mr. Takacs discussed
the option of putting berms at the properties to prevent flooding. This would guide storm water
to the drains and would be able to handle the average rainfall. Discussion followed.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked that the Town Engineer follow up with the residents affected.
She also asked if a lip could be put on the driveway at 21 Carroll Drive so that stormwater
doesn't flow down the resident's driveway as fast as it does now. Graham Foster, Highway
Superintendent, replied that he will check to see if it is part of the contract for the work
scheduled to be done.
Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 8/27/2009
Town Board Meeting
Minutes
August 10, 2009
Supervisor Colsey moved the discussion on to the Valley Road and Hilltop Drive
drainage issue. Mr. Takacs recapped the issue for the Board. Mr. Foster further explained how
this condition deteriorated so much. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey asked what needs
to be done to get moving on correcting the issue. Mr. Foster recommended that the Board could
authorize the Engineers to come up with a plan to be put out to bid. An easement from the
homeowners would be needed as well. Councilman Paoloni recommended first finding out if the
Town can do anything, as it pertains to repairs being made to private property. Mr. Foster noted
that the water is being discharged by the Town pipe. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained that
there is a point discharge where the Town channels the water. The Town will need a temporary
or permanent drainage easement in which they will need to put a junction box that will distribute
the water to each of the channels. Supervisor Colsey again noted that the Board will need to
authorize the professionals to come up with a plan. Councilman Paoloni made the motion. The
motion was seconded by Supervisor Colsey. Discussion followed. The motion passed
unanimously. Councilman Beale asked that the motion be restated. Supervisor Colsey clarified
that the motion was "to do a desktop or preliminary study for the property of the owners Mr.
Wirzbicki, Valley, Hilltop Road, for the purpose of doing a cost estimate". Mr. Wirzbicki asked
to comment. He commented on the idea of who will be filling in the gorge. He noted that they
are not talking about improvements to his property. They are talking about repair of damage that
has been done to the property. The idea of installing boulders does not return the property to the
state that it was in before the Town channeled in all the water. As they take a look at it, he
would like the Town to look into returning the property to the state it was in. Councilman
Paoloni felt that filling in the gorge may be the cheapest part of the project. Discussion
followed.
Supervisor Colsey then moved the discussion to the Granger Place issue. Mr. Foster
noted that there has been nothing else done on Granger Place. The Engineer to the Town hasn't
been authorized to do any designs for that. He noted what would need to take place for this
project. Supervisor Colsey will talk to the Engineer to the Town about this.
Motion To: do a desktop or preliminary study for property for purpose of giving cost estimate
RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Joseph Paoloni, Councilman
SECONDER: Christopher Colsey, Supervisor
AYES: Colsey, Beale, Bettina, McCarthy, Paoloni
C. Comprehensive Plan Update - Stolman
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:20 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
gave an update on the Comprehensive Plan including items that have been amended based on the
previous Comprehensive Plan discussion. The first item of the Plan discussed was the Chelsea
hamlet. Next Mr. Stolman discussed the New Hackensack hamlet and the Alexander property.
The last item stemming from the last meeting was the Myers Corners hamlet. Mr. Stolman then
began the discussion of the Cranberry property. At the last Meeting, the idea of split zoning the
property came up. Mr. Stolman used maps to illustrate options to move forward with this idea.
Councilwoman McCarthy felt that designating the wetlands as the 5 acre zoning doesn't
do anything to address her density concerns. She feels that it is still too high of a density for the
remaining buildable property. Supervisor Colsey asked what the yield of homes on the property
under the new proposed zoning would be. Mr. Stolman answered that the number would be
somewhere around 140 lots. Supervisor Colsey noted that he has proposed R-80 for the property
and asked what that would yield. Mr. Stolman answered that it would be more than the new
scenario. Mr. Stolman will try to find out an approximate number of lots.
Councilman Beale asked how this proposal is not spot zoning. Mr. Stolman explained
that this proposal does not meet any of the criteria to be defined as spot zoning. The Councilman
asked for the opinion of the Town Attorney, Al Roberts. Mr. Roberts asked the Board to take his
opinions contained in several memos on this topic into consideration when making their
decision. Councilman Beale stated that he is against any effort that will open the Town up to
litigation relative to property rights or spot zoning. The Board and Town Attorney discussed
precedents in this area. Councilwoman McCarthy again noted that giving her the 5 acre zoning
on the wetland areas, which were not going to be built on anyway, does not address the goal of
minimizing the density on that property. Discussion followed.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked for information on the Resolution to pull this property
from the water district, such as the how it pertains the current zoning and the proposed zoning.
Mr. Roberts answered that the Town does not have this information yet. Mr. Stolman explained
some of the consequences of pulling the property out. Discussion followed. Mr. Roberts then
guided a detailed history discussion of the benefit units that the Cranberry owners have been
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 8/27/2009
NJ,
Town Board Meeting Minutes August 10, 2009
assessed over the years. Supervisor Colsey noted that the Board will not be reaching a consensus
on the Cranberry property. Councilman Paoloni agreed, but added that they have moved forward
into understanding the direction that they are heading.
Supervisor Colsey asked Mr. Stolman to continue with the update. Mr. Stolman
discussed the topic of the Seco property. The owner is hoping that the property will be left as R-
40. Mr. Stolman feels that the owner's logic is sound and recommends that it be left at R-40.
Next, Mr. Stolman noted that there is nothing new regarding the Swenson issue.
The next property discussed was the Smart property in the Chelsea area. Mr. Stolman
described the issue, referring to a letter and pictures submitted by Wendy Smart that illustrate the
problem. Mrs. Smart is asking that the property be rezoned from R-80 to R-40. The Smart
property borders the New York State Department of Environmental Protection property. The
DEP property recently made significant changes, including the erection of a fairly high concrete
wall and noise barrier. The changes have eliminated the resident's view of the river and she is
proposing the rezone to be able to build a new structure to regain the river views. Mr. Stolman
described the zoning of the surrounding area. It is zoned R-80, but is not a very residential area.
Discussion followed. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if considering this would be spot zoning.
Mr. Stolman explained why it wouldn't be spot zoning. Councilwoman McCarthy commented
that it doesn't seem consistent to her to change one little slice for one resident, when all of the
property on that side of the street is one zone: R-80. Councilman Bettina noted that this resident
has clearly been impacted by the DEP. Supervisor Colsey sees this R780 zoned riverfront
property and feels that it would be inconsistent to pull out one property, especially when it is for
the purpose of building another home. Councilman Beale feels that there are extenuating
circumstances and that this resident has become "locked -in". It makes sense to him that the
resident would like to build another home to regain the views that have been lost. He supports
entertaining R-40 in that region as long as it is not just for her parcel. The Board discussed the
DEP improvements. Councilwoman McCarthy noted that she is trying to not spot zone and to be
consistent. She thinks that the parcel is consistent as is, and she is not in favor of changing it.
Councilman Bettina added that it is not spot zoning. Councilwoman McCarthy went on to say
that neighbors change the look of their property all the time to the disfavor of their neighbors.
Those neighbors don't get rezoned so that they can build another house. Councilman Bettina
noted the difference between a residential neighbor and the DEP as a neighbor. Councilman
Beale noted that the DEP and Central Hudson power station are out of zone. Discussion
followed. Supervisor Colsey polled the Board. He and Councilwoman McCarthy stated that
they feel it should stay as is. Councilman Beale and Councilman Bettina noted that there are
extenuating circumstances that justify the zoning change. Councilman Paoloni stated that they
need a more compelling reason for a zoning change. He went on to say that perhaps Mrs. Smart
can move her house. Discussion followed.
Mr. Stolman then moved the discussion to the topic of senior housing. Councilman Bealc
recommended having a Meeting set specifically for Comprehensive Plan discussion.
Councilwoman McCarthy agreed. The Board came to the consensus to have the September 14th,
2009 Town Board Meeting set specifically for the Comprehensive Plan.
D. Lead Agency Coordination Request (Riverbend 11) - ColseylRoberts
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:21 PM. He explained that the Town Board
has an interest relative to a sewer line that goes to the project. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if
the Town would not benefit as lead agency for this project. Al Roberts, Town Attorney,
explained that the Town would not qualify as lead agent. Supervisor Colsey closed the
discussion at 9:21 PM.
E. June 16th, 2009 Town Board Minutes
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:21 PM. Councilwoman McCarthy stated
that the Minutes of June 16th, 2009, do not accurately reflect how the Meeting ended. She does
not feel that the Meeting was adjourned the way that it is documented. She asked if the Board
needs to fix it or if she should just vote "No". Councilman Bettina added that the Town Attorney
has said that the Meeting wasn't adjourned properly, and that needs to be reflected. He noted that
the Board, as a whole, made a decision to adjourn the Meeting. Councilwoman McCarthy added
that there were discussions that occurred after the Minutes accounting stopped. She does not
know how the Board can reflect what happened in that time. Councilman Paoloni stated that
there was a vote to add something to the Agenda. That vote was in the second Meeting and did
not pass. Councilwoman McCarthy asked the Town Clerk why the tape was turned off. The
Town Clerk replied that the tape was turned off when the Meeting was adjourned. He explained
that the Supervisor announced the motion to adjourn and the result of the vote, and that result
was not challenged. Councilwoman McCarthy claimed that it was challenged immediately.
Councilman Bettina added that he asked the Attorney if it was adjourned and the Attorney
replied that it was not. Councilwoman McCarthy then stated that there was a 20 minute period
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 8/27/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes August 10, 2009
that was not documented, and that, conveniently, there is no video. Councilman Paoloni
commented that the Board should come up with what is important enough to write down. He
feels that the vote is important, but the dialogue is not as important. The Board can then agree
on what gets recorded. Councilwoman McCarthy stated that she would like the Minutes to
reflect the fact that the Board questioned the validity of the adjournment, the fact that the
Attorney advised that it was not a valid adjournment, the fact that the Board did take the vote
that it took, the outcome of the vote, and a guess about the actual adjournment time. The Town
Clerk explained that the Board could draft a margin amendment, that, when voted on, will be
added to the Minutes of that Meeting. Discussion followed. Councilman Bettina commented
that the Board has to approve the Minutes. Mr. Roberts informed Councilman Bettina that the
Board has no authority to "approve" Town Board Minutes. Councilman Paoloni recommended
that the Board Members submit the amendment. Councilman Beale noted that there was a period
of confusion after the Meeting was adjourned. It should be reflected that the Town Attorney was
not sure whether the Meeting was in fact adjourned at that point. It was not clear cut that it was
adjourned.

X. New Business
Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale asked the Town Clerk if there was any need for a dog enumeration.
The Town Clerk replied that it would be something to ask the Dog Control Officer. The Town
Clerk then explained what a dog enumeration is and how a town would go about conducting one.
Councilman Beale noted that this may be something that the Town should look into down the
road.
Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina commended the Town Clerk's Office on the work they are doing for
the rabies clinic. He claimed that residents have called him asking why the Town doesn't do free
clinics while other towns can. The Town Clerk explained that he has already tried to line up a
free rabies clinic in the past. The wait list was one year. After being added to the list, one year
passed and, when further inquiry was made, the County stated that Wappinger was not on the
list. The Town Clerk went on to explain the difference between the County -run, free rabies
clinics and the Town of Wappinger, fee-based clinics. Supervisor Colsey added that the fees
charged by the Town are still much lower than typical fees for the same services. Councilman
Beale asked when the Town's clinic is going to be. Supervisor Colsey replied that it would be on
August 22nd.
Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni asked when the Board would be seeing an item for a stop sign at
Regency Drive on the Agenda. He gave an explanation of the situation for the Highway
Superintendent, Graham Foster. Mr. Foster went on to note that there was a stop sign stolen on
Pye Lane. Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina thanked the Board for sending his mother flowers when she was ill.
