A. Conservation Advisory Committee - Town Board
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 6:21 PM. Allison Chatrehyan, a
representative from Cornell University Cooperative Extension, Dutchess County's Environment
Program, gave a presentatkn on reestablishing a Conservation Advisory Council (CACs) for the
Town of Wappinger Page 2 Prinlerl 10/22/2009
Regular Meeting Minutes October 13, 2009
Town of Wappinger. Her purpose was also to increase the participation with the Wappinger
Creek Watershed Inter -municipal Council. There were two members of the Council present at
the Meeting. Ms. Chatrchyan explained what her program is and what it does, what a CAC is
and what they do and how other municipalities are handling CAC's. The Town of Wappinger is
one of the only towns that does not have a CAC. Ms. Chatrchyan then explained what the
Council is and what it does. She pointed out that the Town of Wappinger is an MS4 community
and is, therefore, required by law to do public education and outreach on issues such as
stormwater. She continued with the presentation to the Board. She also gave recommendations
on what the Board could be doing in order to get the CAC in place.
Councilman Beale asked if the Village of Wappingers Falls had a CAC. Ms. Chatrchyan
replied that they do not. Supervisor Colsey noted that, if the Town was to have a CAC, there
would be a resolution on a future agenda to authorize the Supervisor to advertise for any
position. The Town Board would interview applicants. Councilman Beale mentioned that, not
too long ago, the board did advertise for the position and didn't get any responses. Supervisor
Colsey stated there was one applicant. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the
discussion at 6:37 PM.
B. On -Street Parking - Stolman/Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 6:37 PM. Councilman Bettina noted that he
had several residents contact him about heavy vehicles being parked on the street. He wanted to
address the weight restriction. He asked David Stolman, Town Planner, to explain the issue
further. Mr. Stolman explained that this would be an amendment to Chapter 230 - "Vehicles and
Traffic" of the "Town Code. He read the section of the law for the Board.
Councilman Bettina asked a resident named Mr. Capogrosso to speak. The resident
commented that there may be a necessary exemption for when you are building a home and the
commercial vehicles must park overnight. His main reason for this concern is the safety of the
children, but also the environment and noise. Councilman Bettina stated that building vehicles
shouldn't be on the street and that they should be on the private property. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale questioned if Code Enforcement can give tickets. Discussion about
the issuance of tickets followed.
Councilman Beale suggested that the Board also look into the gray area of residents
parking commercial vehicles in their front yards. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent,
recommended certain exceptions, such as when a resident is blacktopping their driveway or has a
delivery being made. Councilman Beale also questioned the parking of Tow Trucks on private
property. Councilman Bettina commented that it is one thing to park it on their own property,
but the trucks shouldn't be on the public road because of the weight limitations. He went on to
say that commercial business can not be conducted in a residential area and that the weight limit
is 18,000 lbs. Councilman Paoloni suggested that the Board decide what is to be restricted
before setting a weight limit. Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina made a motion that it's no less than 12,000 lbs. Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina clarified that he is moving to have David Stolman move forward with a
Resolution so they can prepare it for the next Meeting for a vote, maximum of 18,000 lbs. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Paoloni and passed unanimously.
Motion To: have David Stolman move forward with a Resolution so it can be prepared for the
next Meeting for a vote - maximum of 18,000 lbs
RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]

C. Handicapped Ramps - Stolman/Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 6:50 PM. Councilman Bettina noted that
several residents have approached him with complaints pertaining to the process for getting a
handicapped ramp. He put this in to waive fees and waive the variance process. He has letters
from the Building Department, Planning Board and Zoning Board that express support.
Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 6:52 PM.
D. Wappinger Commons Progress Update - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 6:52 PM. Jennifer VanTuyl, a representative
for Wappinger Gardens, LLC, addressed the Board. She was joined by Mike Barnett, Mike
Gillespie and Stew Markowitz. She first briefly mentioned the previous discussions that the
Toon of Wappinger Poge 3 Printed 10/22/2009
Regular Meeting Minutes October 13, 2009
Board has had on this topic. She then noted that her purpose at this Meeting was to request an
informal referral to the Planning Board. She provided the Board with demographic sheets and
briefly described them. She then went on to describe the project. Discussion followed.
Councilman. 'reale commented that this project affords an opportunity io bring certain
infrastructure to an area where it does not already exist. Councilman Bettina added that, as the
person that represeros that area, he feels the concept is a great concept.
Councilman Paoloni asked for clarification on the difference between formal and
informal referral and also wanted to know why the applicant didn't just go straight to the
Planning Board. Ms. VanTuyl replied that that they were doing this for the benefit of the Board,
so that there would be nothing binding. She noted that Town Law 271 and the Town Code
specifically provide that the Town Board has the authority to refer any matter to the Planning
Board.
Councilman Beale feels that the application is above average and that it is a project that
the Town Board should be kept in the loop on.
Councilman Paoloni asked questions pertaining to water and sewer for the project. Ms.
VanTuyl answered that there are a number of options to explore. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey asked for a motion to refer this to the Planning Board on an informal
basis. The motion was made by Councilman Bettina and seconded by Councilman Beale. The
motion passed unanimously. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:03 PM.
Motion To: refer this to the planning board on an informal basis

E. Cider Mill Tank - Town Board/Gray
Supervisor Colsey onened the discussion at 7:03 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
updated the board on the Cider Mill Loop tank restoration bids. The lowest bid was just below
$600,000. With other factors added in, the restoration of the tank could cost $700,000. They
also explored the option of replacing the tank with a brand new tank. That would cost about $1.3
Million.
Mr. Gray explained that he is asking the Board to put the restoration off for now and take
a look at replacement costs, timing issues, and so on. He recommends rejecting the bids until
Spring. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey made a motion to reject the bids. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.
