alternative means. Poughkeepsie, City of Beacon and Village of Fishkill. After
carefully looking at these alternatives they have determined that the cost of bringing
water from the Town of Poughkeepsie, would be about 3.5 million total cost.
The second alternative to bring water from the City of Beacon would be around 2.1
million and the cost to bring water from the Village of Fishkill to be about 1.6 million.
He feels that his client, Chelsea Ridge Complex should pursue getting the water from the
Village of Fishkill. Discussion followed. Supervisor Smith announced that a workshop

Next are several reports from Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town. The first report concerns
the lab results on Doyle Drive. CAMO Pollution Control took a sample and ran a POC
analysis. All results were under the maximum contaminant level for drinking water
and/or listed as non-detected. The only parameter that was detected was MTBE, which
level was 1.2 parts per billion. The 1.2 parts per billion that was realized is more or less a
background level and is evident in just about any environment that would be tested. We
do need to test for herbicides and pesticides prior to advising that the Highway
Department could make any excavations. When the results are in, Mr. Paggi will advise
the Board and Graham Foster. Mr. Foster informed the board that a new sink hole has
shown up on the Todaro property around 50 feet from where the excavation will be done.

The next report concerns the Kent Road/All Angels Hill Road re -alignment. Three
copies of maps had been prepared indicating the proposed realignment (one for Mr.
Roberts office, one each for the affected property owners). The proposed improvements
would result in Kent Road shifting approximately 18' in a northerly direction. This
would require the Town secure additional road right-of-way along the northerly side of
Kent Road. The affected properties are: Thomas W. Connollan, 2 Robin Lane and
Timothy J. & Sharon Sullivan, 4 Robin Lane.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Attorney to the Town to obtain the
necessary right-of-way.

project. We agree and request your approval to proceed. The $200 would come out of

Next are several easement complaints. The first is from Edward Rubeo of 13 Doyle
Drive. Upon researching the law concerning the stream easement, he believes that the
rel
07/23/2001.RGM
town is only partly correct. The town has the right to take down the trees only if it is
necessary to remove them in order to clean out the stream. This was not the case
concerning his trees. Mr. Foster said what Mr. Rubeo does not understand, is, there are
two easements, one is a storm sewer easement for drainage and the other is an easement
for the sanitary sewer. To add trees back to that area is only going to put more roots into
the trunk line. We do not want trees in the sanitary sewer easement. Unfortunately, the
stream cannot support trees. In the process of excavating the bank of the stream, one tree
fell down. The other trees were cut down on purpose because the roots were infiltrating
our soil. One tree was endangering one of the manholes. Mr. Foster explained that he
will go back to fix the topsoil, but he is shorthanded at this time, and will be shorthanded
in the foreseeable future possibly the rest of the year. He is trying to work on the worst
situations first, but he will take care of this.
COUNCILMAN BETTINA moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Mr. Foster to send a letter explaining.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is the drainage situation from Amy Kwei of 30 Lake Oniad Drive. Ms. Kwei
explained that Mr. Foster had informed her that he could not get on her property without
an easement on her deed. Her request is for drainage pipes on Foxhill Road, not in her
property. At present, the water on the road is directed toward her empty lot that is a
breeding ground for mosquitoes. The road is public property. Now the road runs down
the hill, and is draining water into her lot. She wishes to have this unacceptable situation
remedied. Mr. Foster explained, that there are issues involved here. He can install
drainage pipes down Foxhill Road. The actual movement of the brook cannot be done
without a drainage easement. That is why he referred this back to the Town Board. He
will notify her that he can install the drainage pipes down Foxhill Road.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
At the last Town Board meeting the bid for the two pick-up trucks was tabled until Mr.
Foster contacted the vendors who declined to bid and ask why they declined to bid for
the trucks. Mr. Foster also sent each vendor who declined to bid specifications for those
trucks. Discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to authorize Mr. Foster to go out to bid again for the
two pick-up trucks.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero

of work sites, which are being processed for that summer work period. They are going
around to the various towns and cities to get support in identifying sites. There is usually

comments.
Mrs. Concetta Oliveri of 207 Old Hopewell Road was recognized by the chair. She was
not against rezoning this property back to R-20, but she had several questions that needed

know when she will be connected. Mr. Paggi told her it is being done in fazes.
