VII. Discussions
A. Rao Commercial Pet Resort Kennel - Paoloni
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:08 PM and noted that the two discussions
were both Paoloni items. Councilman Paoloni asked if the idea of pet resort kennels was
something that the Town could look into. Councilman Bettina recommended passing the idea
off to the Town Planner. The professionals were not in attendance and he would like to hear
from them before doing anything. Supervisor Colsey noted the location and layout of the
property in question. Councilman Paoloni asked Supervisor Colsey if he had discussed this topic
with the Zoning Administrator. Supervisor Colsey replied that he had not. Councilman Paoloni
asked the Supervisor what the Zoning Administrator's objection to this is. The Zoning
Administrator was in attendance and gave the Board feedback. She personally doesn't have any
negative feelings about the plan. Her opinion is based purely on the Code. The way the Code is
written now, it doesn't permit this type of zone. Discussion about how the Board could have the
Code changed followed. Councilman Paoloni asked that the issue be referred to the Town
professionals. Councilman Bettina agreed that it should be referred. He stated that lots of
properties have lots of dogs and cats. He claimed that residents have complained to him about
neighbors having too many pets. He feels that the Board should take a look into the Code and
how many pets a resident can have. Councilman Beale asked if the Town didn't already have a
provision in the Code about kennels. Discussion followed. Mrs. Lukianoff noted that there is a
difference between a private kennel and a commercial kennel. Councilman Beale asked that this
difference and the number of dogs allowed be better identified in the Code. Supervisor Colsey
asked if the Board had consensus about referring the item to the Planning Board and the
professionals. The Board agreed.
B. Stop Signs - Paoloni
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:12 PM. Councilman Paoloni noted that he
doesn't know why this item is on as a discussion.

LOCAL LAW NO.7 OF THE YEAR 2009
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No. 7 of the Year 2009, Designating a Full Stop
Intersection at the Westerly Intersection of Soccerfield Drive and Regency Drive."
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title:
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No. 7 of the
Year 2009, Designating a Full Stop Intersection at the Westerly Intersection of Soccerfield Drive
and Regency Drive", which shall amend the present Vehicles and Traffic Code, as set forth
below.
Section II: Legislative Intent:
Residents of Regency Drive, Lawn Place and Cloverdale Place have alerted the Town to a
potentially hazardous traffic situation at the intersection of Soccerfield Drive and Regency Drive.
Recently, Supervisor Christopher J. Colsey received a letter dated August 5, 2009, signed by the
residents, requesting a stop sign be installed at the westerly intersection of Soccerfield Drive and
Regency Drive. The Town Highway Superintendent concurred in this request and has
recommended the installation of a stop sign on Soccerfield Drive at its westerly intersection with
Regency Drive.
After due consideration, the Town Board determined that it is in the best interest of the
citizens of the Town of Wappinger to revise the Town's Vehicles and Traffic Code §23043
"Schedule IX: Stop Intersections" to designate the westerly intersection of Soccerfield Drive at its
intersection with Regency Drive as a full stop intersection.
Section III: Stop Intersection:
The Town of Wappinger Code §230-43 is hereby amended by alphabetically inserting into
"Schedule IX: Stop Intersections" the following designated full stop intersection:
Direction
"Stop Sign on of Travel At Intersection of
Soccerfield Drive Westerly Regency Drive."

It is the intention of the Town of Wappinger and it is hereby enacted that the provisions of
this Local Law shall be included in the Code of the Town of Wappinger; that the sections and sub-
sections of this Local Law may be re -numbered or re -lettered by the Codifier to accomplish such
intention; the Codifier shall make no substantive changes to this Local Law; the word "Local Law"
shall be changed to "Chapter", "Section" or other appropriate word as required for codification; and
any such rearranging of the numbering and editing shall not effect the validity of this Local Law or
the provisions of the Code effected thereby.
Section V: Separability.
The provisions of this Local Law are separable and if any provision, clause, sentence,
subsection, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any

parts of this local law or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared
to be the legislative intent of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger that this Local Law

which the Local Law or part thereof is held inapplicable had been specifically exempt therefrom.
