PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Correspondence was received and signed by the County Legislators
in response to Mr. Incoronato's invitation to attend the Town
Board Meeting of August 22, 1994. Although none were able to
attend, it was suggested that if any members of the Town Board
desired information regarding the current financial status of
the Baseball facility in Fishkill, that they contact Mr. James
Pickles, Executive Director of the Hudson Valley Stadium
Corporation and Mr. M. Philip Amodeo, Dutchess County
Commissioner of Finance.
Mr. Incoronato was disappointed that none of the five County
Legislators that were contacted could attend and suggested that
perhaps someone is passing the "buck". None of the Legislators
have attended any of the Town Board meetings, except Mr. Beale,
who came to promote the Stadium interests. Mrs. Smith
commented, that the Stadium is not Town business. She felt that
the County created it, let them take care of it.
The following Tax Certioraris were served on the Town of
Wappinger: Hoeventure; Aleksandravicius; Three C., Inc.; Three
Star Anodizing; Vinco Realty Corp.; Cedar Hill Dev. Corp.; Dr.
Mario A. Vilardi; Rawls Leisure Living, Inc. (2 petitions);

Purchase Order for $2,200.00 to paint the Barn.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is Correspondence from Antonio Casale, of 42 Carroll
Drive requesting STOP signs at Balfour Drive. Mr. Casale's
house is the first on the left going up the hill, and when he
pulls out of his driveway, cars come around the corner at full
speed to go up the hill. He has had several close calls.
Mr. Ruggiero met with Mr. Casale. The intersection in question
has several evergreens that were planted many years ago, which
have since grown much larger. Consequently cars do not see him
when he pulls out of his driveway. Mr. Ruggiero measured the
trees, and said they were not on town property. Mr. Foster
informed the Board he did go to the area and did not see any
site distance problem at the Intersection. This is the first he
has heard about the trees. He would go to the area with Mr.
Ruggiero and check the site distance in regard to the
evergreens, and report back to the Board.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to table this request until more
information is received from Mr. Foster.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was receive from Nancy J. Caro, of 11 Peel Lane in
regard to the garbage that is being dumped across the street
from her home at the cul-de-sac. She would like the garbage
removed, and a NO DUMPING sign with a penalty erected.
Mrs. Smith gave an update on the situation and said that on
August 5, Mr. Foster went out to Peel Lane and was unable to
find garbage. He left a card at the Caro home, and a message
on her answer machine. On August 8, Mrs. Caro returned the
Page 4
940822.RGM
call to Mr. Foster and stated that a friend had picked up all
the garbage. Mr. Foster said that the area are would be
watched, but a NO DUMPING sign would not be practical.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
At this time Mr. Incoronato introduced several residents who
live off Cedar Hill Road and their basic complaints were the
free copies of the Poughkeepsie Journal in orange packaging that
the Poughkeepsie Journal delivery persons are tossing in
the driveways of residents who do not subscribe to the
newspaper. At this time the Board recognized Mr. Jack
Kolaian of 105 Dorothy Lane who spoke of this market practice,
which is unsolicited. Most people grumble, and pick them up.
However, many of the flyers miss their mark and are left where
they land, sometimes on the side of the road, or other town
property. He contacted the Poughkeepsie Journal and received
no satisfaction. Mr. Kolaian got in touch with Mr. Incoronato
for his assistance. Mr. Incoronato contacted the Poughkeepsie
Journal, and was assured by the circulation manager that this
practice would stop. It did not. Mr. Kolaian then spoke to Mr.
Betros, who assured him that the circulars would no longer be
deposited on his or his neighbors driveway. Mr. Kolaian feels
if we have a litter law in the Town, we can't make exceptions.
Mrs. Smith said she would pursue this matter further, and call
Ron Betros, who is also a Town employee, as well as a
Poughkeepsie Journal employee. She would also contact the
Editor of the Poughkeepsie Journal. Mr. Incoronato informed
the Board that he spoke with Mr. Betros and reminded him of the
litter law, that carries a $1,000.00 fine, if flyers were thrown
Page 5
940822.RGM
on Town Property. Mr. Betros responded, he would contact Mr.
Kolaian to clear up this issue.
Two reports were received from Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town.
The first was in reference to Route 9D. As a follow-up to the
August 8th Town Board Workshop, a call was received from NYSDOT
who confirmed that they will have their Maintenance department
look at the storm drain line in question. Don Faucher of the r.1%
NYSDOT advised Mr. Paggi's office that the Town had done
everything that the State had requested in regards to cleaning
the line and backfilling the outlet ditch to the stream with
stone fill. Mr. Paggi will make sure the proper departments are
notified within the NYSDOT.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and place
it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
The second report was in reference to the Widmer Road
Realignment. In his report Mr. Paggi ggi indicated on his plan
that the right of way in the vicinity of the Villa Borghese is
only 30 feet wide, restricting the realignment of the road.
This is the portion of the road with poor sight distance
requiring geometric modifications. In order to facilitate the
redesign of the road, additional R.O.W. will be required in this
area. Therefore he feels that the acquisition of additional
R.O.W. is essential to the overall efficiency and safety of the
road realignment. To go ahead and reconstruct the roadway as
shown would be only a partial solution, and inefficient way to
utilize the grant money available. He would like authorization
from the Town Board to pursue the acquisition of approximately
30-40 more feet of R.O.W. in this area as shown on the plan.

COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to authorize Engineer to the Town

,. A request was received from Edward Kellogg. of The Alpine
Company of Poughkeepsie to authorize the release of their
Landscaping Bond #4900020 in the Amount of $150,000.00. As a
result of the site visit it was determined that all of the
landscaping was completed and in good shape.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize the release of the
Landscaping Bond #4900020 for $150,000.00 as stated, based on
the recommendation of the Zoning Administrator, Herb Levenson.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from Daniel O'Connor, Public Health
Engineer of the Dutchess County Department of Health advising
the Board that the plans and engineer's report for the Emergency
Services Building submitted to his office were approved on July
27, 1994. The approval is granted on condition that the sewage
disposal facility is installed in complete conformity with
approved plans and the following two conditions.
1. THAT a dry sanitary sewer lateral is installed to facilitate
hook-up to the future central sewer system.
2. THAT the grading around the sewage treatment system is
extended.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file.

At this time, Mr. Incoronato asked Mrs. Smith if all the
contracts and leases were signed for the Emergency Services
Building. Her reply was yes, plus the bid opening was today
with a 5% contingency, with groundbreaking set for early
September.
A request was received from Bernard L. Rullman of 95 Losee Road
for permission to become a tenant to the Central Wappinger Water
Improvement Area. According to correspondence submitted to the
Town Board by Engineer to the Town, Jay Paggi, it appears as if
Mr. Rullman's well has failed both in quantity and quality.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to give permission to Mr. Rullman of 95
Losee Road to become a tenant to the Central Wappinger Water
Improvement Area, based on the recommendation of Engineer to the
Town, Jay Paggi and subject to a road opening permit.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Because of a failing septic system, a request was received from
Jan Bernich of 6 Foxhill Road for authorization to connect to
the Oakwood Knolls Sewage Plant. The Board of Health had
inspected the sewage disposal system, and observed that the
system was undergoing failure and had no objection to their
connecting to the Oakwood Knolls Sewer District.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Mr. Bernich of 6
Foxhill Road to connect to the Oakwood Knolls Sewage Plant.
based on the recommendation of Joseph Marcogliese, PE of the
DEC.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Lastly, correspondence was received from David DeCerbo, of Paggi
& Martin in response to the request to investigate the drainage
problems at the end of Baldwin Drive.
Page 8
940822.RGM
A field inspection was conducted by Mr. DeCerbo and the Highway
Superintendent, Graham Foster. Due to the Steepness of the
surrounding topography and lack of closed storm system, the
runoff has no relief except to flow to the West across the
cul-de-sac and down a driveway on the West side of Baldwin
Drive. In order to reduce erosion to the residence driveway,
they are proposing a series of catch basins, storm pipe, asphalt
berm and end section in order to contain and transport the
runoff to an existing stream which flows behind the housing
development on Baldwin Drive. Much of the surface water and
overland runoff will be removed as a result of the proposed
improvements.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize attorney to the Town
Al Roberts, and Engineer to the Town Jay Paggi, to prepare the
necessary papers to proceed.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
After the vote, Mr. Paggi informed the Board that a memo was
drafted to Attorney to the Town Al Roberts, with a sketch of
adjacent properties so he can get the necessary easements.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO had no reports at this time.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI questioned the Zoning Administrator, Herb
Levenson regarding several empty Bins that had been left at
the defunct Sunoco Station on the corner of Old Hopewell Road &
Route 9. Apparently it had become a breeding ground for trash.
Mr. Levenson informed Mr. Valdati that they traced the owners of
the Bins, and they had been removed from the area.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO reported on his findings regarding the
Page 9
940822.RGM
upgrade of the PCs for the Town. It was discovered that Debbie
Hongach had never deleted documents from her computer. He
suggested that she delete documents that are no longer needed,
and it would be adequate for her needs for the next 5 years. In
checking on Mark Lieberman's computer; it is equivalent to a 20
year old car. The only thing it is good for is a door stop. It
is no longer adequate for its purpose. Hi -tech contemporary
software can not be loaded in it. A 486 Micro Processor was
suggested. They can be purchased from the State Pool for a cost
of $1000-$1200. Fishkill has contemporary software for their
computers, and it seems to be working well for their Building
Department. Mr. Incoronato will also go over information he
received from Mr. Levenson and report back to the Board at the
next meeting.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI had not reports at this time.
SUPERVISOR SMITH discussed her roll as the Lead person for
Sales Tax with the County for the Supervisors Association. She
reported that they wrote a letter stating no less, and
if the Sales Tax increases to 8% as State Law now allows, we
would like our share. The possibility of it being lowered is
no longer feasible. Mrs. Smith also asked for authorization
from the Town Board to send a letter stating the Town of
Wappinger wants no less.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize the Supervisor to send
a letter from the Town Board stating that we want no less.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Smith also spoke on Tri -Muni. A resolution is needed for
addendum #5, authorizing the inclusion of the Compost work to be
included in the original contract.

Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Lastly, Mrs. Smith questioned Mr. Foster regarding several
Purchase Orders from the Highway Department. In particular one
for maintenance from Dutchess Overhead Doors in the amount
of $1800. Do you need authorization? Mr. Foster replied, yes.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize the Supervisor to sign
the maintenance contract to Dutchess Overhead Doors in the
Amount of $1800.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
BONDS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

I-171-BKCT-57000356 drawn by Mr. William Staples covering the
Red Hawk Hollow subdivision roads in favor of the Town of
Wappinger in the amount of $62,601.00. Mr. Paggi recommended
that the roads be accepted as soon as possible, perhaps it can
be put on the September Agenda. Mr. Foster advised the Board
that 2 catch basin tops are crumbling and this work would need
to be done as soon as the Roads are accepted. The Developer
will be notified, in case he wishes to do the work voluntarily,
otherwise the money would come out of the maintenance Bond.

940822.RGM
Paggi & Martin, several Problems occurred when D.E.W.
Construction started to excavate for setting the first
catchbasin.
a) Existing map representation of 24" pipeline alignment
incorrect, pipeline not layed straight from beginning to end.
b) Invert elevations of existing pipeline inconsistent
throughout pipeline, resulting in an additional excavation depth
of approximately 1.80 feet throughout project.
Both of these problems have resulted in having to add an
additional thirty-four (34') feet of 24" storm sewer pipe and
increasing the depth of the four (4) required catchbasins. This
will require a change order issued in the sum of $5,280.18.

(2) I, the clerk of the legislative body of the Town of
Wappinger, an approved assessing unit, hereby certify that the
legislative body determined on August 22, 1994 base percentages,
current percentages and current base proportions as set forth
herein for the 1994 Assessment Roll and portions identified.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
At this time Supervisor Smith set a Special Town Board
Meeting for August 30, 1994 at 5:00 P.M for the Purpose of
Awarding the Bids for the Emergency Services Building.
NEW BUSINESS
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI questioned Mrs. Smith on some recent
Legislative Update that she received from our State Assembly
Woman concerning tax relief that would be passed down to
property owners. How much would Wappinger be getting? Mrs.
Smith replied, she received notice that Wappingers is not
getting as much as it normally gets. She has no figures at this
time, but as soon as she receives the information, she will
share it.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO questioned Mr. Roberts, Attorney to Town
regarding the Thalman rezoning request. Mr. Roberts explained
that Mr. Thalman was in his office several week ago, and part of
the proposal was to have a conceptual site plan approved by the
Planning Board, to be attached to the contract. A sketch plan
is being put together. After the Planning Board reviews it they
will make their recommendations, and it will go to Workshop.
SUPERVISOR SMITH related that a resident stopped her on Mina
Drive near Spook Hill Road, regarding the many accidents that
have occurred there. Mrs. Smith requested that Graham Foster
Page 17
940822.RGM
and Jay Paggi please go check the area and see what can be done
to help alleviate this problem. Also, Graham to check 11
Nancyaleen Drive. Apparently the Town put in a curb which is
coming apart, and the area was never reseeded either.
MR. VALDATI questioned Mr. Paggi on the status of the water
connection to the Highway Department. Mr. Paggi replied that he
is still in progress of getting an easement, and it's much more
realistic than it was a month ago.
MR. RUGGIERO brought up a reoccurring problem that he has
encountered on Route 9 and Old Hopewell Road. It seems that
there are fund raisers collecting money on Route 9 quite
frequently. Traffic gets backed up and presents a safety
problem. Is there anything that the Town can do. Mrs. Smith
explained that it is a State Road and the fund raisers were
given Permits. It was decided that the Supervisor would send a
letter to the State suggesting that in future, there is more
Safety patrol on Route 9 when there are fund raisers on Route 9.
MR. FOSTER reported that the Salt Shed facility is half stained,
to protect it from the elements, and help is being provided from
the community services personnel. If more help is needed Mrs.
Smith said she would be able to provide it for him.
There was no other business to come before the Board.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to adjourn the Town Board Meeting,
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero and Unanimously Carried.
The Meeting adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
