PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS
• Cablevision -Roger O'Connor, Director of Government Affairs explained
that he is the liaison between the community that Cablevision serves and
the company. Cablevision has made a lot of progress in the town of
Wappinger in the past several years by completing an upgrade in their
cable system, introduced their Optimum on Line high speed internet
access service and, by the end of this year expect to introduce digital
television. He also is in charge of leading discussions and negotiations in
renewing their franchise agreement. FCC has certain rules in regard to
franchise renewal negotiations. Prior to the agreement being presented
through resolution and signed by the Supervisor, the state requires a
public hearing so the public may comment on the performance of the
company or the franchise agreement itself. Then the agreement goes to
the state public service commission to be reviewed and then certified.
Once certified the agreement will go into effect. Councilman Valdati
announced that he would like to see town proceedings televised on cable.
Mr. O'Connor explained that Cablevision would be very open to working
to develop this. There is public education and government access
provision in the state rules and regulations, and they would be happy to
1
09/09/2002.WS
work with the town to develop a government community channel. NO
ACTION TAKEN.
• Empire Zone- Ann Conroy Director gave a brief description of the Empire
Zone and its efforts to encourage business and create jobs. Empire is
currently considering a change in boundaries which would enable the
town to become part of the zone. They offer financial incentives,
including tax breaks to businesses that locate or expand in the zone. At
present there are two vacant properties, in the Town of Wappinger. One
on 169 Myers Corners Road, and the other on Airport Drive that have the
potential of being refurbished and made into businesses that could employ
local residents. This would ensure the town utilizing properties that
already exist. If the town joins, they would be asked to contribute $5,000
per project until such time as the property is developed and a business is
certified on the property and jobs are created. As more communities
participate the fee will decrease each year. What they want from the
Town Board at this point is not a formal resolution, but support if and
when the proposal gets into the approval process. Each community will be
asked to pass a resolution supporting this provision. The county will also
help pay the cost of administering the program. Supervisor Ruggiero and
the board members were in full support of becoming a part of the zone.
• Traffic Calming -Michael Galante of Frederick P. Clark Associates gave a
presentation and steps that would have to be taken to address concerns of
both the Town and residents with regard to traffic flow and speed of
vehicles on various roadways. Based on discussion and field visits, Mr.
Galante went over the Scope of Services that would be provided and
before doing anything, identify problems, with data and documentation.
Based on results they will develop appropriate traffic control measures,
where feasible, to address reducing vehicular speed on particular
roadways. Traffic calming measures and locations will be identified for
each roadway and presented to the town in a written report. Discussion
followed
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to authorize up to $20,000 to Frederick P.
Clark to conduct a traffic evaluation of town roadways.
Seconded by Councilman Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
• Applesauce Lane Pond.- William Avon of 7 Applesauce lane explained that
carp were stocked into the pond several years ago to help the eco system
and due to the large algae build up in the pond recently, over 200 dead
fish weighing in at 40 pounds apiece were removed. He explained that the
P�
09/09/2002.WS
algae depletes the oxygen from the water, thus killing the fish. He is
requesting the town to provide 2 aerators for the pond in order to prevent
the algae build up and saving the fish. Mr. Paggi, Engineer to the Town
explained that he supports the use of the aerators to provide the proper
aquatic environment. They would probably cost $13,500.00. Discussion
followed.
COUNCILMAN COLSEY moved to authorize Mr. Paggi to work with the
Town Attorney to research this request and get back to the board with their
findings.
Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
• Historic Photos -Janice Hildebrand of `By the Falls"- Ms. Hildebrand will
return on September 23, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. in order for Board Members to
select 16 historic photos for town hall.
• Beautification -Michael Galante announced that the NYSDOT granted the
town and the village permission to do the landscaping in the medium on
route 9. The next step would be to submit plans to the state for their
approval, and the town would need a permit from the state to do the work.
The town would then be obligated to maintain it. Supervisor Ruggiero
announced that we received a grant of $2,500 from Joel Millers office as
well as $5,000 in the budget.
COUNCILMAN PAOLONI moved to purchase design #1 3x5 signs from
J&S Signs & Designs of Hyde Park New York.
Seconded by Councilman Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
• Conservation Advisory Council was moved to Executive Session.
• Road Salt. -Councilman Valdati was contacted by a resident of Marlorville
Road, claiming her well water was contaminated due to road salt. She
said her water was checked by the Board of Health and was informed that
the levels were three times the normal. Mr. Foster explained that he had
received the original phone call, and the resident claimed that a female at
the BOH had given her this information. Mr. Foster called the BOH, and
asked who was giving out this information, and they had no knowledge of
this call. Shortly after, he received a call from Dan O'Connor asking
what was going on. According to Mr. Foster, the woman has lived in the
home since 1957 and has had a water softner many years, and septic
tank. Mr. O'Connor agreed that much of the chloride pollution in wells
today is coming from the water softners. The road salt has a tendency to
run off to the side into the drainage basins, and ultimately to the Hudson
3
09/09/2002.WS
River, whereas the water softner goes into your septic tank and it stays on
the property. Mr. O'Connor explained even if we were to establish that it
was road salt, road salt is a fact of life as is acid rain. It's something we
must live with. He said there were no studies conducted by his
department, but the BOH would conduct studies if we want. Jay Paggi
and Mike Tremper will conduct a study and report back to the town board
with their findings.
• Redistricting- Nick Johnson, head of the Republican Committee was
reminded that the town board has until February 15th to make any
changes they want for the next election. The Town Wards were set up in
1983 and in 1990 there was no reapportionment. He is proposing that the
town board appoint a bipartisan committee to investigate and make
adjustments in election districts. We have about 4 or 5 election districts
that have over 1,000 voters in them, and they probably should be divided
in half. Discussion followed.

not apply to Multifamily Residence Districts.
C. Water and sewerage facilities.
(1) Where, in -the opinion of the Planning Board, connections to existing
facilities are possible and warranted, sanitary sewers and/or water
mains shall be connected to such existing facilities in the manner
prescribed by regulation of the appropriate sewer, water, fire district

(2) Where connection to existing off-site water or sewerage facilities is
not possible or not warranted, a central water supply and sewage
treatment system shall be designed and constructed to serve all
dwelling units in accordance with the standards and subject to the
approval of the Dutchess County Department of Health and the
appropriate state and federal agencies.
(3) Where future service by off-site water and/or sewage systems is

use to be permitted in each Planned Unit Development District and in any
section thereof shall be determined in each individual case by the Town

20%.
(b) Number of bedrooms. The Planning Board shall be responsible for
determining the number of bedrooms in each dwelling unit in
connection with its review of site plans in accordance with Article

residential developments will broaden the range of available housing
types within the town, not more than 25% of the permitted dwelling
units within any such development shall be composed of detached

including the total gross acreage and the approximate acreage
to be occupied by each type of permitted use, the total
number of dwelling units proposed for inclusion within the
development and the proposed breakdown of these units
according to size and type. The analysis shall include the total
floor area devoted to each type of nonresidential use and the
extent of paved area and building coverage.
Section 10. § 240-50 E.(3) of the Zoning Law, Designed Residential Development,
shall be amended as follows:
E. (3) Amendments. The Town Board, after public hearing with the same
notice and referrals as required for the original public hearing and
approval, may consider and act upon an application to amend the
design concept shown on the General Land Use and Development
Plan for a previously approved designed residential development or
upon an application to change or enlarge the limits of such
development to include contiguous acreage subsequently acquired
by the applicant. However, no public hearing shall be required where
a proposed change or enlargement does not result in any significant
modification to the design concept shown on the approved General
Land Use and Development Plan or where less than a five -percent

A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger on
September 9 2002, at the Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Wappingers Falls,
New York for the Submission of Application for 2003 Community
Development Block Grant to Partially Subsidize Connection of Wappinger
Park Water District to Central Wappinger Water Improvement Area,
Supervisor Ruggiero opened the meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Present:
Joseph Ruggiero, Supervisor

Christopher Colsey, Councilman (arrived at 7:45 p.m.)
Joseph Paoloni, Councilman

Absent:
Gloria J. Morse, Town Clerk
The Deputy Town Clerk offered for the record, the Affidavit of Posting and
Publication duly signed and notarized. (These Affidavits are attached hereto
and make part thereof the Minutes of this Hearing).
SUPERVISOR RUGGIERO wished to know if there were any comments or
questions from the audience.
Engineer to the Town Jay Paggi explained that in the past we have applied
for Community Development Block Grants and we have always applied for
projects that were associated with handicap accessible. He explained that
in order to qualify for projects other than handicap accessible projects, some
area of the municipality must have at least 38.9% of low to moderate income
residency. Then there are certain municipalities or any little sub area that
does not fall into that category of 38.9% and that includes the Town of
Wappinger. The Town of Wappinger has 15.1%. That being the case we can
only apply for projects for the Community Development Block Grants that fit
another category which is the handicap accessible, unless we can prove that a
specific area, the two projects that we are applying for tonight, the
Wappinger Park and Tall Trees Subdivision area fall in that income
threshold. In order to do that an application must be submitted and a
current survey of the properties need to be taken. The results of the survey
must show that those group of homes falls into this category. That is why we
have only applied for handicap accessible projects over the last few years.
Discussion followed.
