Present: Constance Smith, Supervisor Joseph Ruggiero, Councilman Robert Valdati %NW Vincent Bettina June Visconti Elaine H. Snowden Others Present: Albert Roberts, Attorney to the Town Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent MINUTES The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of March 25, 1996 having previously been forwarded to the Board Members, were now placed before them for their consideration.

Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero Motion Unanimously Carried PETITIONS & COMMUNICATIONS Correspondence from Ray Suarez, President of Wappinger United Soccer Club informing the Board that the Spring 1996 Season is about to begin and a report on the condition of the playing fields of the Airport Complex at this time. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the report from Mr. Suarez Page 1 and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. Valdati 960422.RGM Motion Unanimously Carried Correspondence from Richard M. Nolan, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Roe Movers. Mr. Nolan wished to voice his concern regarding the soccer facility located on Airport Drive in the Town of Wappinger. It has come to his attention that the parking arrangements and the proximity of the parking lot to the road have created a potential hazard to the children playing on and around the field. During the fall of 1995 cars were parked on the shoulder of Airport Drive in the East and Westbound lanes, leaving little room for commercial traffic traveling through the area. It appears that there is insufficient parking for the level of activity at the field resulting in the overflow parking in the roadway. In addition, the parking lot being located within only a few feet of the roadway would leave the operator of a motor vehicle insufficient time to react should a child run out from behind a car while chasing a ball. His concern is that this congestion will create a dangerous situation that could lead to the unnecessary injury of one of the children. Mr. Nolan also offered the following suggestions to rectify the problems. (1) Limit parking on Airport Drive to the designated parking lots only. (2) Construct a chain link fence on the south side of the parking lot separating it from the road. (3) Post signs warning parents of the commercial traffic using Airport Drive. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Attorney to the Town Al Roberts prepare a Local Law prohibiting parking and/or stopping at the field entrance on either side of Airport Drive and authorize the Supervisor send a letter to Mr. Nolan notifying I J him of the Boards decision to prohibit parking on either side of Airport Drive. Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero Page 2 9604122 . RGM Motion Unanimously Carried Several requests to attend conferences and short courses.

The second request is for permission for Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent to Attend the annual training program for Highway Superintendents, in Ithaca, NY on June 3, 4, and 5 of 1996. This program is sponsored by the Association of Towns in cooperation with the Cornell University Local Roads Program. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to approve the request for members of the ZBA and Planning Board to attend the Dutchess County Planning Federation Short courses on April 25, May 2, and May 9, 1996 and for Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent to attend the annual training program for Highway Superintendents on June, 3, 4, and 5 of 1996, and their legitimate expenses to be a Town charge. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Correspondence from Linda Nguyen, Secretary for the Planning Board notifying the Town Board that at their Meeting held on April 15, 1996 the Planning Board wished to recommend, "Warehousing" be added as a permitted use in the Hamlet Zone.
