( SEE ATTACHED SHEETS)
DISCUSSIONS:
• Fieldstone Boulevard Meeting. Councilman Colsey explained that
Fieldstone Boulevard has a grassy medium that the residents wished to
have cleaned up and possibly plant some shrubs and plants. Several
residents were here tonight looking for permission to do this and a
recommendation as to what type of plants could be planted in the
1
09/23/2002.RGM
median. Mr. Foster explained, the original concept called for a conservation
subdivision. Each area of the median was to be maintained by the
homeowner. That did not happen, and over the years it went into disrepair.
The town started maintaining it over the last three or four years. This year
Councilman Colsey asked Highway to get more involved and put in more
curbing, top soil and seed. Highway has been also mowing the medium this
year. Every time Highway adds something, it makes it more difficult to get
in with a riding mower. It would be great if the residents pick it up as a
community garden. Unfortunately some will work very hard and some not at
all. Discussion followed. Supervisor Valdati requested Mr. Roberts to check
on restrictions for open space and arrange to meet with members of the
community, Jay Paggi, Mr. Stolman's office as well as Mr. Foster to discuss
some of the things recommended by New York State DOT.
• Nesheiwat Rezone. Supervisor Ruggiero informed the board that at the
planning board meeting of September 4th, a motion was made
recommending the rezone and the application be referred to Ed Rose
manager of DC Airport for his review and recommendation. Supervisor
Ruggiero announced that we would wait to hear from Mr. Rose for his
comments and recommendations before going forward.
• Martz Field Bath House Renovation. Don Swartz went over the bids that
were opened on September 12, 2002. There were three trades bidding on
the project. On both the plumbing and electrical contract, we came in
below bid. The contract for plumbing came in at $18,694 which was about
$6,000 below their estimate. The contract for electrical came in at $6,600
which was almost 50% below bid. The base bid for the General
Construction contract came in at $62,500 which represented 100% over
their estimates. The other two contracts helped offset the General
Contract number. At this point in time he could not give a
recommendation only because he did not know the ramifications of
rejecting the CD grants. He could not in good conscience recommend
spending $150 a square foot on the inside of the building. Discussion
followed.
At this time 8:23 p.m., Councilman Colsey moved to go into Executive Session
to discuss a litigation matter, seconded by Councilman Bettina.
The meeting reconvened at 9:40 p.m.

Prior to the introduction of RESOLUTION NO. 2002-279, Peter Cherneff
Attorney for the applicant presented a schedule that detailed five different
elevation designs for the Cranberry Hills Subdivision to the board members.
Mr. Roberts announced that these elevation designs are identified on
12
09/23/2002.RGM
Schedule "1" attached to the proposed local law. These plans will be
presented at the Public Hearing. Once the local law is adopted, this will be
the first set of five plans that would be approved for the subdivision. All the
board members conceptually agreed with the plans as the appropriate
prototype of residences to be constructed. Mr. Roberts explained that
Schedule "2" is a departure from what was originally proposed. Town
Planner, David Stolman read the alternate Schedule "2" which lists the
Minimum Requirements of Typical Landscape Plan. This is an alternate to
the plan that was proposed by the applicant which has no sizes on the
species. There is one flowering shown within the lot. The rest are shrubs
and ground cover without any sizes. There are also some street trees shown,
but they would not comply with subdivision regulations. Mr. Stolman does
not know how the planning board could institute any reasonable
requirements based upon the plan that has been submitted by the applicant
because there really are no sizes. Mr. Cherneff answered, if the issue were
just sizes of what has been shown there is another way to deal with it. They
have presented the same landscaping plan, without change from the very
beginning. This is something completely different. This may not be possible
to do in terms of the number of trees. This is imposing something on the
applicant that is not imposed anywhere else in this town. Your cluster law
has no standard, and he thinks they have worked in good faith presenting
this. This is unfair and is not acceptable to the applicant, because it can't be
built. It does not take into account the fact that much of this site has trees on
it. Mr. Cherneff had urged the board on number of occasions, to come and
look at the job that the applicant is building now. He is urging the town
board not to pass this. If the question is, what you have seen didn't have
specificity in the size of the trees, let them provide specificity in the size of
the trees. This does not apply to anybody in this town. You force the
applicant to take action elsewhere by treating them differently. They have
worked with the town for two years on this project, and now you are imposing
standards that are not fair and are not part of the law of this town. Mr.
Stolman responded, its not just with regard to the specificity or the size of
the shrubs. Mr. Stolman feels that the elevations shown are good looking,
in terms of the architecture and trees that are shown around the
architecture, but Schedule "2" which has been submitted by the applicant will
not result in the plans being shown tonight. Mr. Cherneff answered that
the board has seen these plans on three separate occasions. The board saw
the exact landscaping that was presented. That is what Schedule "2" is and
what the board has seen from the beginning and what you are asking for is a
13
09/23/2002.RGM
creation of your office, not occurring before this board. Mr. Stolman
responded that what these provisions try to do is to say where there are
existing trees that can be preserved, then that would supercede these
standards. Mr. Cherneff explained that the board has asked for corrections
and improvements, but not to this. At no time did they tell this board that
the pictures of the elevation represented the landscaping. This description
does not describe what is shown on the picture. Mr. Cherneff explained we
worked very hard with this board and now we are headed to court, based on
your interpretation of what we have shown this board. This is as far as we
are willing to go, because we think this is beyond any standard that exists.
Mr. Colsey asked Mr. Cherneff if his firm would be filing suit papers on this
issue. Mr. Cherneff replied no, his firm will not.
At this time, 10:20 p.m. Councilman Colsey moved to go into Executive
Session, to confer with council, seconded by Councilman Bettina and
unanimously carried.
The meeting reconvened at 10:35 p.m. with all board members present.
Al Roberts, reminded Mr. Cherneff, that earlier, he made a comment that the
landscaping plans as prepared by Frederick C. Clark, could not be built as set
forth in this attachment which is going to be schedule #2. Under what basis
did he make that statement? Mr. Cherneff replied that the rear yard trees,
as you can see, that plan shows no rear yard trees as a minimum. In a
meeting that he attended with this board, they asked Dan Wery to describe
what they had been shown. This does not describe that. This description
provides there be a minimum of three trees 6-8 feet in height planted within
each rear yard. Some of these yards will not permit that number of trees
yard next to yard to be planted and survive. He feels they are too close and
not physically possible. Mr. Roberts again questioned Mr. Cherneff, on what
basis is he making this statement? Mr. Cherneff answered he is making the
statement on the basis of what his consultants (architects) relayed to him.
Trees planted in that number in that small an area, as they matured, would
not survive. In the last public meeting that he attended with this board, they
asked for one thing and Mr. Stolman is saying he was asked to do something
different. Mr. Cherneff wished to know who asked and when. Mr. Stolman
replied that he did not know the answer to either of those questions or he
would offer the answer. Again, Mr. Cherneff reiterated, he is authorized to
offer what he has shown, not any more. This is what they have been showing
from the beginning as a minimum. At no times during their meetings did the
board say, "one thing or another", as they did on other points, which they
responded to. If this becomes part of your resolution he cannot do it. Mr.
14
09/23/2002.RGM
Cherneff explained that he had this very same conversation with Al
Roberts to relay to the board so this would not come as a surprise. Mr.
Roberts responded that the board had been informed. Mr. Cherneff said they
had prepared a minimum typical landscaping plan, because that's what this
board asked them to do, and it has been presented consistently without
change since the first meeting. Mr. Stolman informed the board that from
his professional point of view Schedule 2, the landscaping plan that
Cranberry has prepared, is totally inadequate to accomplish from a
performance standpoint what they are trying to set out to accomplish.

LOCAL LAW NO.
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No.
OF THE YEAR 2002
of the Year 2002, Authorization to Planning
Board to Permit a Conservation Subdivision for Lands Owned by Cranberry Hills, LLC."
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title:
1. This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No.
#14 of the Year 2002, Authorization to Planning Board to Permit a Conservation Subdivision
for Lands Owned by Cranberry Hills, LLC". This Local Law will authorize a 322.67 acre tract
of land located on Widmer Road in the Town of Wappinger to be treated as a Conservation
Subdivision (cluster subdivision) and to otherwise modify the zoning regulations with respect to
lot area and dimensions pursuant to Town Law §278, as set forth below.
Section II: Legislative Intent:
1. Cranberry Hills, LLC (hereinafter "Cranberry") owns a 322.67 acre tract of land
located on Widmer Road in the Town of Wappinger (hereinafter "Property"). The Property had
previously consisted of a 550 lot subdivision, which subdivision has been abandoned by
Cranberry. Cranberry has made Application to subdivide the Property into a 232 lot Conservation
Subdivision for the same parcel of the land.
2. The proposed subdivision of these lands as a Conservation (cluster) Subdivision is
authorized by Town Law §278, in accordance with Town of Wappinger Zoning Code §240-19.B.
Pursuant to §240-19.B. of the Town Zoning Code, the Planning Board is only authorized to approve
Conservation Subdivisions whenever specifically authorized by the Town Board by Local Law
pursuant §278 of Town Law.
September 23, 2002
0AWAPPINGE\Town Board\LOCAL LAW\Cranberry\LL2002-Fina1.doc
3. The cluster authorization was forinally requested on behalf of Cranberry by its
attorneys, Watkins & Cherneff, by letter dated April 16, 2002. The 232 -lot cluster
subdivision will include building lots ranging in size from 0.24 through 8.35 acres in area.
The Applicant and the Planning Board have both otherwise complied with the provisions of
- the Town Law §278 and §240-19 of the Town of Wappinger Zoning Code. The purpose of
this Local Law is to authorize the Planning Board to approve the 232 -lot subdivision as a
Conservation Subdivision as that term is defined in §240-19 of the Town of Wappinger
Zoning Code upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
4. The proposed subdivision will require disturbance of + 116.3 acres, including ±
3.61 acres with slopes greater than 15% associated with road construction; ± 0.57 acres of
ACOE regulated wetlands; + 0.21 acres of N.Y.S. D.E.C. regulated wetlands; and + 2.7
acres of N.Y.S. D.E.C. regulated wetland buffer. The disturbance to the wetland buffer
includes approximately 110 feet of N.Y.S. D.E.C. wetland crossings and an additional 200
feet crossing in one Federal wetland. The Town Board acknowledges that additional site
disturbance will occur when the Myers Corners Road access road is constructed as
hereinafter provided. The Town Board acknowledges that it has been demonstrated that the
aforementioned disturbances to the Federal and State wetland areas and buffers will be
approved by the N.Y.S. D.E.C. The Town Board acknowledges that the Planning Board has
coordinated the SEQRA review of this subdivision application and all of the aforesaid
environmental impacts as a Type I Action and as Lead Agency issued a Negative
Determination of Significance for this subdivision by Resolution dated May 20, 2002.
Based on the foregoing, and consistent with Town Law §278 and Town of Wappinger
Zoning Code §240-19, the Town Board determines that the proposed Conservation (cluster)

L
Subdivision is the most beneficial way to develop this property consistent with good
planning and zoning practices and sensitivity to environmental considerations. The Town
Board further determines that the proposed Conservation Subdivision will result in a more
efficient and attractive development, will ensure the appropriate preservation of open space
and environmental resources, and will minimize impacts upon surrounding and adjacent
properties.

Schedule 2
Local Law No. of 2002
Cranberry Hills 232 -Lot Conservation Subdivision Authorization
Minimum Requirements of Typical Landscape Plan
Prior to Final Plat approval, the Applicants shall prepare a minimum typical landscaping
plan that will be required of each building lot that accomplishes the following objectives
and meets the following minimum planting requirements to the satisfaction of the
Planning Board:
1. Foundation Plantings. An adequate number of deciduous and/or evergreen shrubs
shall be planted along the front and longest side of the residence to screen the
foundation of the residence. Shrubs shall be a minimum of 18llin height at
planting, with a mature height of approximately 3'-4'.
2. Garage Screening. An adequate vegetative buffer shall be installed within the side
yard adjacent to a garage between the midpoint of the garage and the midpoint of
the length of the driveway to screen the garages and parking areas and buffer the
residences. Such buffer shall consist of a shrub mass (preferably evergreen) a
minimum of 3' in height at time of planting, with a mature height of 4'-6' or
greater.
3. Front Yard Trees. A minimum of one (1) ornamental or flowering tree shall be
installed within the front yard of each lot to provide visual interest and buffer the
residences. The tree shall be a minimum of 8'-10' in height at time of planting.
4. Side Yard Trees. A minimum of one (1) deciduous or evergreen tree shall be
planted within each side yard of the lot to provide shade and wind protection,
demark property boundaries, re-establish tree cover and to minimize impacts to
wildlife habitat. Generally, such trees shall be located within proximity to the
residence to provide shade and screening between residences, although the
location of trees can be adjusted to account for conflicts with existing vegetation,
field conditions, or other constraints. Deciduous trees shall be a minimum of 2"-
21/2" caliper at time of planting, and evergreen trees shall be a minimum of 6'-8' in
height at time of planting. Such trees may be waived where healthy and well -
formed specimens or stands of existing trees have been preserved within
respective side yard(s).
5. Rear Yard Trees. A minimum of two (2) deciduous trees and one (1) evergreen
tree shall be planted within each rear yard of the lot to provide shade, wind
protection, re-establish tree cover and to minimize impacts to wildlife habitat.
Generally, such trees shall be located so as to provide screening between
residences, although the location of trees can be adjusted to account for conflicts
with existing vegetation, field conditions, or other constraints. Deciduous trees
shall be a minimum of 2"-21/2" caliper at time of planting, and evergreen trees shall
be a minimum of 6'-8' in height at time of planting. Such trees may be waived
oAwappinge\town board\local law\cranberry\landscapeplan-dwery.doc
where healthy and well -formed specimens or stands of existing trees have been
preserved within rear yard.
6. Invasive Species. The approved plant list shall exclude the use of plants that have
been identified as invasive species by agencies such as the Federal Interagency
Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds, including, but not
limited to: Norway Maple (Acer platanoides), Winged Euonymus or Burning
Bush (Eumiymus alatus), Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii), and Purple
Loosestrife (Lythrum virgatum).

accordance with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations in a location
between the curb and property line as determined and approved by the Planning
Board in accordance with the streetscape detail plan.
8. Plant List. Attached hereto is a recommended plant list of trees and shrubs that are
appropriate and suited for the project and the above requirements. Other species
and varieties may be added subject to the approval of the Planning Board.
9. Stabilization of Disturbed Areas. All areas that are disturbed during the
construction process shall be graded, covered with 4 inches of topsoil, and seeded
and mulched.
