Read resolution, on Spook Hill Properties. Clausen - do we need an opiblon letter from our attorneys? Quinn - that is the second condition. Aotually, in this instanoe we happen to have a deed in our possession already. We are waiting for a mortgage release. We are getting this for $1.00, Mr. Hankin's property.

Authorize supervisor to enter into agreement oontraoting for disability coverage for compensation for Town employees. Seconded by Bulger. All ayes. Fu4ton - one of the issues we were going to discuss was the Williams and Gallo bonds. In regard to the Gallo bond - Quinn - Mr. Reilly was able to get hold of Gallo this afternoon and talk to him. The firm tendered a bond approximately 2 weeks ago and when we examined it we found it wasn't in proper form. It had no due date lb it. We returned it to his counsel for amending and I personally talked to his counsel on several 000asions. He has informed us the insurance agency that issued the bond is in the process of amending it. To date we have gotten no papers through on it. We still have improper form in our office. Reilly talked to Gallo this afternoon. FIe indioated to Reilly that he wasn't aware of this. Gallo promised we would have the bonds in our hands this afternoon. Harold seemed to think he was quite sincere. Fulton - any action we oan take tonight so we don't have to wait until next meeting? Quinn - I don't see how you oan do it ahead of time. Fulton - Section 3. It was our opinion, after looking at record, he had imposed upon him the latest specifications. The bond was based on the new specifications. When did bond run out? Quinn - it hat a far amount to run as I recall. Bond was written to cover new specs. This is why enabling amendment was necessary. No due date at all. Harold seemed to think he was very sinoere.about having this in tomorrow. Clausen - we all agreed he should be under the old specs. Bulger - there was no termination date on the bond and no termination date by which he must complete the roads. Quinn - I didn't realize that this bond was in improper form. As soon as we got it we got a hold of his attorney and bonding company. Initial date. The only thing that needs action byqyou people is approving the fact that it is under the old specifications. Bulger - initial date? Date on the first bond? Quinn - yes. Clausen - roads be finished by this year? Quinn - bond was posted approximately a year ago. Fulton - it wouldn't be due this fall anyway. If Gallo puts roads in between now and winter he will be doing us a favir. Bulger - it says by end and it runs for period of 2 years. If it is end and he puts them in now he is merely complying. Fulton - separate bonds on Sections 1, 2, and 3. Three different sections approved. Put up a bond for each section as he started building. Franton Kretoh, Midge, all in Section 3. Resident - he's got half the roads in now. Hasn't been any construction for almost three months up there. LllAroheveaque - roads could have been installed upon completion of the homes which was abaut 2 or 3 months ago. Resident - Gallo says he is waiting for specs from the Town. Quinn - no communication between his representatives and him in reference to the bond. The bond has got to Dome in and you have got to authorize him to go under the old specifications. Refs not doing this to be diffioult. The man sent the bond up in August. It got mislaid. We have been dealing as we normally would with his representatives and they have apparently not kept him informed. Fulton - call another special meeting for Tuesday night. Adjourn until Tuesday night. Resident - there is a possibility of going through another winter without roads. Fulton - it is as simple as this - he oan go until 1967 without putting roads in. It appears he is going to put them in. He has made a verbal commitment. Resident - I have been in there a year. Kretoh Circle the first model home. A year ago May. It will be 2 years Dome May. I was up there looking at the model. Developer told people the roads would be in in July. That night you were calling meeting on roads and it was called off - that same day he was around with calcium ohloride. Say he doesn't get those roads in by this winter, who is going to make the improvements? Fulton - if the highway oommieeioner decides these roads are not passable and are unsafe, he will come to the Town Board. Does maintaining of roads in safe condition have a bearing on the bond? Quinn - yes. Fulton - let's go until Tuesday night and see what happens. If highway commissioner will deola*e the roads unsafe we oan pull the bond. Resident - easement supposed to be 10 ft. wide - it was 20 ft. wide after rain. When I got home the next day all I had was 12 inches of dirt. Clausen - Mr. Supervisor, I don't doubt we all have sympathy and believe them as to what happened. The fact is, we have to get this bond straightened out. Really there is nothing that can be solved tonight. Ask them to bear with us until Tuesday night, we will know further what to do. 5 -minute recess at 9s15 P.M. Reconvened at 912, P.M. Fulton - just asked people to bear with us until Tuesday night. Another order of business which I believe involves Wildwood. Cortellino - in regard to letter if December 6, paragraph 4B, permanent surveyor's monuments. Trees in front of every yard. Both of them have been substantially disregarded. Copy of letter. 8inoe major portion of these things have not been fulfilled and I believe the bond has run out, we would like to know what ksi your aotion is. Quinn - method of construing this amending letter. Section 3 is eliminated. In eliminating section 3 you eliminate a, b, c, d, etc. Cortellino - we're concerned with section 4. Fulton - date bond was due? Cortellino - March 1966. Beth Place, no construction took place. Fulton - Lafko says sewer lines are in there and it is graded off. Just a matter of outlining road. Cortellino - is this going to be a separate section or is there a limit to out -off date of building. Quinn - no abandonment. Developer can lay out streets in plot. He is in no time limit to sell lots. Cirtellino - that is not paved. Quinn - I heard Lafko indicate to Supt. of Highways that the various services are presently installed. Cortellino - I am showing the performance bond, they have not lived up to the agreement. Lafko - I don't think it needs any explanation. What actually happened Noe when Mr. Rotwein from our Cornell Homes graded off gravel bank, he graded completely across the street where he owns houses. What you see there now is grading he did over dirt and sewer lines. Cortellino - not living up to the plat. Portion of the ■road difficuht to negotiate, trees, monuments, and that road not constructed. Quinn - Lafko has been in contact with Kelley and Clausen *and trying to clear up road condition. Cortellino - roads were graded, sites were taken on people's driveways. Since that time no work has been done. Quinn - they are actively trying to accomplish this thing this fall. Fulton to Lafko - what is your position on the roads? Lafko - what is the Town's position on the roads? Fulton - are you obligated to put a topping on those roads? Lafko - we're obligated to maintain that road for one year after March 2. Toppings were all in place. We were instructed to go back in there with old list. We weren't in favor of doing the things we were requested to do but we did them. It is under a maintenance period. It is still under maintenance for one year after bond expires. The former road Supt. and Town Engineer were there when the roads were graded. Cortellino - the roads broke up in spring. I would like t- point out that in front !If the apartments that road has no held up. Only places where it broke up is where water wasn't conducted correctly. We pointed it out to the Town Board in the spring that the roads had broken up. I would like to point out if you can't pave in July, I don't know when you can pave. Question to Mr. Quinn - is this developer responsible for the conditions of those roads after they put them in for any period of time L'' even if they are not accepted by the Town? Quinn - yes. Cortellino - why doesn't the Town Board make Mr. Lafko do some work? Quinn - mentioned Lafko has been conferring with Kelley and Clausen. The Bond is not the problem. I am aware that you have to live there. I oertainly sympathize with any problem you have, but the critical point is not the bond. Certain ditching, certain water conditions, and so forth that have a detrimental effect on road surfaces. Cortellino - we're not gonna go through another winter again. As I understand Mr. Lafko's condition he feels that part of the condition is due to the builders. The builders and developers are responsible for adequate drainage. If they do not provide it that is not our fault, Lafko - every other lot finger drains were put in base of the road. Cortellino - not having this drainage is what caused the road to break up. There is an easement shown between lots 108 and 109, in by Shalers lot. Lafko - spots need oil and chip and Wildwood itself should be given one coat right through top power lines. Down where one of the builders have french drain in the sub-base of the road, we had to build that. Fulton - you're still under obligation? When will you do it? Lafko - when the Town tells me to do it. Clausen - there were some other problems oonneoted to the developer rather than just roads. I think there was a meeting oalled between Lafko, Alexander, and Highway Supt. could not attend. It was oalled off. Town Engineer, Supt., Lafko and Alexander. Move that we set another meeting. Bulger to Lafko - do you have a plan? Do you have a target date? Would you care to tell us about it? Lafko - can't set a target date until plan is worked out, Those roads will be put into top shape. Clausen - to a mutual advantage to settle our differences. Have a meeting Nbr by which to settle this. Fulton - Lafko is saying the Town has held him up, �rr Quinn - in all fairness, I don't think you can infer any criticism on Town Engineer or Supt. of Highways. �1n Clausen p it is up to the Town Board to accept the agreement because we empowered our attorney to work with Lafko's attorney and come before the Board with a reasonable negotiation. I think this is where we are and we have to meet. Bulger - is it your understanding that a meeting and the agreements you are coming to the roads will be done this fall? Do these people have adequate reason for concern? Lafko - I will do all that is in my power. It is not completely within my pmumxx control. Resident - bond is about 6 months past its due date. Fulton - there was reason to believe that the Town should hold up Lafko, that there was negotiations going on that would keep Lafko from putting roads in until various other problems were settled. Cortellino -ass has gr grown up in ditch. Have seen water rats in there. We want the roads to be passable. We want it before winter. The date we picked is for the first meeting of Ootober. Supt. of Highways knows what he wants. All we are concerned with is having roads before winter. We appreoiate Mr. Lafko is willing to do his portion, Lafko - trees is settled in deed with the builder. Supt. of Highways will get together with Lafko. Bulger - what Lafko said is he is agreeable to certain things but the Town had some other things they had to do. Landolfi - can you give us a statement? Bulger - we're handicapped because we don't know what these negotiations are. Landolfi - one more month left and then you can't do much. Clausen - date to reset meeting - September 22, Thursday night, 8100 P.M. Our attorney would be in touch with Lafko's attorney so that he will be Idols aware of what the meeting is about. Town Engineer, Supt. of Highways, .9. Alexander, Lafko, Town Board, seconded by Bulger. Unanimous. estion to inn - there are a subCtantial number of houses in therer` I as not involved. Does Lafko have legal right to shift responsibility to builders? Quinn - we don't have to be bound by anybody. We look to the developer. Resident - in the eyes of the Town he Is still responsible for the installation of trees? Clausen read contract for Planning Consultants. Better price? Quinn - in going over draft that was submitted I placed the sole right and responsibility in the Town Board to approve these things rather than any other agency in the Town. These are a standard rate. Clausen - m$tually agreed in number 2. Quinn - the equivalent of not more than 6 days for the basic rates. Clausen - we should table this contraot and have further discussion or meetings on this. Bulger - I agree. Quinn - they all operate the same way. In fairness tka most professional time is between 1135 and $40 an hour.Their situation is usually more than one man. I don't think you're gonna Dome up with a better rate. Bulger - we're getting about 48 man days. Quinn - you could have one of these prinoiplesx up. Clausen - we should be able to have a planning oonsultant when we need one. Quinn - terms of contraot with 30 -day notice. Clausen -make a motion to table this until Tuesday meeting and copies of it go into the mail to other Board members immediately. Seconded by Nikee Bulger. Unanimous Letter from Dizano & McGann in reference to the intersection of -lo - Myers Corners Road and Spook Hill Road. Bulger - we do not have the authority on our own to install a atop `,, sign. Intersection of Town and County roads. Address communication to County Supt. of Highways, attach a copy of this letter asking his opinion as to the partioular intersection and indicating that we would look favorably upon the request for installation of a stop sign and 1 think we should be also write baok to the people who wrote this letter indicating what action we are taking. Also indicate installation of a ourve-warning sign. Seconded by Clausen. Unanimous. Bad ours is on County Road, none on Spook Hill Road. Clausen - Spook Hill being realigned , should be referred to Supt. of Highways. Letter from Brent & Phillips requeating removal of barrier at the end of Dorothy Heights. o"'' Bulger - move it be referred to attorney for opinion. Seconded by Clausen. Quinn - remind you a group of residents requested barrier be removed. Clausen - 1 think at that time the legality was still up in the air. Elaine - also believe there le a survey being done. Bulger - that particular situation was also referred to counsel. Letter from Kenneth Buell of B.C.C. - Bulger - on that particular subject, as the allegations contained here yr, are pulled out, it seems to me the Town has a responsibility before difficulty to see what goes on in that particular plant, as it is located within the Town. Quinn - I think the County Health Dept. ought to be requested to immediately investigate this thing and give us a report. Also, Engineer to the Town be asked to investigate and to give us a report on this. Bulger - I would so Move and ask Town Clerk to get them out as soon as possible. Fulton - Carl Silber called me and asked me if he oould have 10 days and I told him I would bring it before the Board. Quinn - I think there is a sit uation in here that Joe might not be clear on. We have no danger to Health problems in $td Point Park. We fir► entered into agreement to allow them to operate subject to $125,000 performance bond guaranteeing proper oonstruotion and maintenance. Post with Town Clerk. They have failed to perform either of these items. Not any health hazard, I'm not implying there is. Bulger - they failed to oomply with some of the conditions to which they agreed. We put them on notice. We gave them 5 days to oomply. Now they are asking for an additional 5 days to comply. Quinn - we gave them permission roughly in May or M June. Prior to my reporting this to your people, I had written them at least 4 or 5 letters and when I could get no action, I reported it to you. I called them on the telephone the next day/ Clausen - this Saturday or Sunday is over end of extension. 'r Quinn - I don't think a bond would take more than a week or ten days, depending on their financial ability. Fulton - I would recommend to the Board that we be a little lenient and recommend we pass a xs motion. Clausen to Euell - that letter was August 8. I agree with Bulger in '410' respect to your letter. Has the County done anything? Euell - the Health Dept. has inspected plant on several occasions since the letter. Working trying to get base for contract with Hall & Co. My feelings is they should never have touched the plan if they weren't ready to complete it. My contract goes into effect today. Quinn - do these conditions still obtain up there? Eugll - yes. Quinn - there were a number of things. Euell - leads to odor and is unsightly. Clausen - if we are directing the County to investigate something, they have had a month and a week notice of it. %.. Elaine - mechanical difficulties with the contractor. Clausen - basically, what can the Health Dept. do? Quinn - same action they took with the Ritter plant. Clausen - concerned that the County did not inform the Town Board of the letter they received on August 8. Lafko - how long will it take to get these around to specs? Euell - contract states that until Health Dept. has Quinn - under your new contract, are you going to have responsibility of clearing up conditions? Euell - must be completed by the owner under contract. Quinn - they are almost filled up in there aren't they? Euell - since they received approval for new ones in the back, our daily flow has been more than doubled. 1 Quinn - in spite of contract, you have no burden to clear up these conditions' Ewell - terms stating with 100% completion. Supervisional contract, all I can do is instruct. The latest word I received from Mr. Hill day before yesterday, is that he had been talking with Bash and Hall & Co. and they are supposed to have contract straightened out and be back in there by beginning of next week. Clausen - how is it that knowing these conditions, you didn't let the Town Board know. Euell - my obligation is to the public and the owner. As far as public health hazard, there isn't any. As I stated before, I purchased 50 gallon drums of Chlorine. Clausen - you are not pleased with the situation? Ewell - no, I have been fighting it for months. July we were supposed to turn plant over to Bash clean. Forward correspondence to County Board of Health, ask them what they have found in their investigations, what the present status of the plant is, and what steps should be taken to put it into first-class operation. Secondly, request Engineer to the Town to look at this plant and give us his opinion of what is going on over there. Seconded by Clausen. All ayes. Unanimous. Lafko to Quinn - in the law, is there a provision that sees that supervision and requests are not being met? Puts him in a bad position as a licensed operator. Euell - as he states, we could do this - notify owner and Health Dept. we are pulling out and leaving due to m conditions. We felt it was not in the best interest of the public. There is a swimming place below the area. We could have abandoned. Quinn - this is all very sanitary. I can't think of any reason why an operator could not discontinue his services. Bash and bond - present resolution that we instruct Building Inspector that on September 21 we expect all building to cease and desist unless we have bond, and send copy of letter to Bash. Bulger - it seems to me they have permission to operate a private sewage corporation from the County Health Dept. & State Dept. of Health under the transportation and corporation law, and in addition what we can do if they have not met requirements posting of stock and bond, notify those agencies that the tentative approval given t on such a date has been withdrawn because the applicant has failed to meet requirements. Fulton - can we withdraw Quinn - notify them that we are withdrawing. Approval was granted if certain conditions were met. There has been repeated notice from Town Attorney. There has been official at notice on part of the Town Board. Corporation is formed. Act is complete. With the Two Health Depts. I got word to building inspector when this time ends no more building permits and no certificates of occupancy. Bulger - making a penalty which isn't a penalty. /nib- r�, Quinn - when the time is up the inspector is_ �a take all further steps to stop work on this plant. Bulger - if there is no demand, there might be no penalty. Go on until Wednesday when time is up and if conditions have not been met, notify BOTH Health Departments. Seconded by Bulger. Unofficially agreeing that if action has not been taken by Wednesday. Building Inspector be instructed to perform these acts unless he hears to the contrary from Town Attorney. Cppy of letter to Carl Silber and Mid -Point Park, Inc. Don't move Monday, wait until tuesday. err Edgehill Manor, Section III Oak Ridge Manor Estates, Ino.

Subject to the approval of the other members of the Board, have attorneys write letter saying we will set hearing subject to reoeipt of the description of the property. Elaine - telephone oall from somebody asking. He had been in oontact with Mr. Quinn. I referred him to assessors and I asked him if he had disoussed with Mr. Quinn about getting map,blook,and lot description. Fulton - is it true a person oan have property submitted for rezoning even though he don't own it? Quinn - I think within 24 hours of the time this board first reoeived application, I wrote to counsel saying that no further steps mould be taken until we received a description of the property. We were approached about two weeks ago asking why something had not been done on this. Refer this situation back to oounsel. Bulger - our Town Attorney oommunioated with you last may stating if you give us a description... Fulton - Town Attorney address a letter. -16- Quinn - Mrs. Snowden has a Dopy of letter sent last may. Let her include that. Bulger - before we can take any action, we await a detailed description of the propdrty you request for rezoning. Seconded by Clapsen. Carried Letter to Carl Silber on Mid -Point subdivision recreation. (from Quinn & Reilly). Letter from Mrs. H. Braun, Helen Drive. Res odor of L & A Filtration Plant. Lafko - Board of Health hes been down zit there 3 or # times. Stream next to plant oarries odors. If you want to check with Health Dept. During summer used to run down through Greentree Apts., and went on to our property. Resident - why weren't calls answered? Elaine - we do not have any jurisdiction. Answer the letter and tell hdr it is not the L & A plant. Bulger - inquire at the Board of Health. Write to her and tell her you are investigating. Send her a copy of the letter we receive from Board of Health. Resident of Quiet Acres - complaints. Lafko replied to Dr. Vassallo. We sent a formal letter to them and to date have no* received reply. Letter from Mrs. Helfrich. Letter in referenoe to Dutohess County Airpor$. From Quiet Acres Civi c Association. 140. Fulton - the only answer we can give Aim them tonight the Board will disouss this with our attorneys and come to some conclusion in the nea#1 future. -1? - Resident - bond issue says within 20 days period. You have to aot in 20 days or not be heard. As it was notice of publioation. Todayi it was passed by the Dutohess County Board of Supervisors. 20 days from date of publication. Fulton - I asked if permissive referendum was applioable in thee case and Chairman said no. I asked it be brought to public referendum and vote on it in the fall. I told Mr. Sohoentag this has been going on for 4 or 5 years, why don't we put it out to the people and let them vote on it. Resident - is there anything the Tewn oan do since ttxtsxZssstst the airport is located within the Town? Quinn - Town is not permitted to take taxpayers action. It is within power of Board of Supervisors to adopt resolution suoh as this. nag Bulger - no provision for public referendum? L Quinn - no. Only conceivable area where Town could possibly do anything would be to seek conjunctive relief when you get into the safety faotor this is a very difficult thing to prove. There is an area of nuisanoe and ha.,afd. Nuisanoe and noise factor - it might be subjeot to litigation. The Town would be under disability to bring suoh an action. Sok - suppose they didn't have room to extsmd the airport? Quinn - if they didn't have the room to extend it, it wouldn't be extended. Resident - it has come to our attention that a parcel of land has been offered to Town Board and the Town Board has rejected the parcel of land. Clausen & Bulger - not true. Fulton - little,eluotant to move in on this type of motivation. Clausen - I think Mr. Bulger brought out there was some investigation that had to be done here and I have not heard anything of this investigation. %Iiv Fulton - My understanding is that the Board was reluctant to take asttmt this. Alpert - ask the Town Board to consider possibility - why don't we request -18 - Congressman Resnick to immediately set up a hearing on the potential or u=tiotitt7 possible safety ft hazard of this extension. We are entitled to know what the FAA could come up with if they looked into this investigation. Resnick is in a position to ask for an investigation. This would substantiate. Fulton - after today's action by the Board of Supervisors it is in advanced stages. Alpert - get it in black and white. Fulton - FAA will not discuss the safety factors. Resident - Resnick has shown a lack of intirest. FAA will give you double talk. We have one factor and that is the hazard that this runway is going to increase. At the meeting today, it was brought out by the engineer that there will be increased hazards from this extension. There has been a lot of talks on hazards. There has been a crash and many, man, near misses. Welfare has depended on the ability of the pilots to use the airport. Lafko - they're extending the chances with the extension of any airport. Resident - if the Town can go on record demanding that a control tower be put in the airport before runway is extended as or write to manager and demand that this airport be restricted of all jet aircraft until it is put in. It is within the power of this Town to protect the citizens and we can certainly demand that proper safety demands are taken on this issue to protect us. Quinn - the only power we have would be to enter al into ktg litigation. As far as the FAA is concerned, we don't have any power to do anything we haven't already done. They might imxmxtx severely restrict use of this area. Nov Resident - we all found out there was going to be a meeting in Resnickbs office. It seemed to me the whole issue has been a matter of I guess and until we take legal action we will not find out. Quinn - you have got to be able to prove a good case for damage that may be caused here. You're buckling the largest technical aviation agency in the U.S., and kW= that is the FAA, and what you are saying makes the outoome of litigation... The Town is not in the position to be injured by any property nuisance. The possibility of noise,inoreased nuisance, and so forth is t; violative of Health and comfort of people living by. Quinn - the Town certainly since last May didr not spare anything. Town Board members have given a great deal of their time and so forth. It has not been their intention to let you down. Eck - why wasn't this thing carried on? Clausen - proposition came up no one had heard about it. We were not going to pass on it In a minitue's notioe, act on something we had not had time to review. Fulton - some of the conditions were that the land be dedicated the following morning. They were reluctant. Lafko - it is too late. Fulton - that bond was put up for a publio hearing. There was no bond resolution passed today. Publio hearing to be set on this next Friday. This bond could be voted down because of that public hearing. Quinn - not subject to a referendum. Fulton - the bond reOution in my opinion, has not been voted on by the Board of Supervisors. We would like to think we're taking recreation area, but we know what we're taking. Lafko - injunotion and bring in a bonified safety mate. Today it wad admitted that it would be hazardous. Resident to Lafko - oan you restrict jet traffic on the runway? Lafko - resolution from Town Board and you can do it. Resident - hazardous. Resolution demanding they take any restrictive aotion within their power. It warrants a tower, and there is no tower. -20- Requesting him, in view of the confusion and the hazards and the fact that it warrants a tower. Quinn - temporary restraining order. Resident - you're not telling him what to do. In view of the conditions, you're urging him, requesting that he take any restrictive action within his power. Lafko - if you oan get the safety people in here without tower is it hazardous? to what degree? Temporary injunction. Quinn - I oan see residents of the area making an application for an injunction on the basis of both hazard and nuisance. Latter would have more weight than the former. Resident - already publioly stated there is a hazard on this runway. How is he qualified? I assume he is a professional that is aware. Quinn - not sure how the weight of expert opinion would affeot the FAA. Fulton - who insures airports? Don't they recognize safety hazards? Lafko - they have groups in affiliation with safety groups and they have safety reports. Resident - there were 4 insurance underwriters investigators who came to the house. XXKLIII4A4mAki When will we know? Summarize. X Quiet Aores Civic Association starting taxpayers' suit against bond. Quinn - chances weak of getting injunction unless you can come up with testimony. Threatened irreputible injury. Quinn - when you talk on terms of observing one acoident. They will not oommit themseltes. Demand the airport operator take whatever restrlotive action is possible. Operator could restrict jet traffic on that is airport. Nor. Lafko - the powers of an airport manager is quite a large latitude. Follow up on what supervisor says and get inquiries from insurance and get these safety people in. -zl- Bulger - consultant - we couldn't even pin him down as to safety hazards here. Quinn - after the runways is built, there is a likelihood that the FAA will restrict la weight and so forth. Resolution directed to the airport manager to take whatever restrictive measures within his power.
