MEMO TO: SUPERVISOR JOSEPH RUGGIERO
RE:
RALPH J. HOLT, CHAIRMAN
LETTER DATED 5/24/04 FROM WILLIAM VERLIN
FROM:
If as he has stated in his memo (see attached) that the property we would
relinquish would remain ever green, it appears to be a good deal. Weare aware of the
property he presently owns, and yes it could be used for parking for activities held at
Castle Point Park or for parking for boat trailers from Chelsea boat ramp. It appears to be
a reasonabl~ proposal and we should definitely look into it further.

Dear Mr. Holt,
My name is Bill Verlin and I knew you during my little .e days. I would
like to present an offer to you in your capacity as Chairman of the Town of Wappinger
Recreation Committee.
I own a parcel of undeveloped property on River Road that is approximately
one acre. This parcel is contiguous to the t9wn recreational property at Castle Point. The
Town of Wappinger owns a parcel on the west side of River Road, directly opposite
apother parcel that I own on the eastern side. These parcels appear to be about the same
size. If Municipal law would permit, I would like to propose that an exchange of these
parcels be made as I believe it would be mutually beneficial to both the town and myself.
The Town could utilize my lot that is adjacent to Castle Point Recreation for parking for
the ball field, or for boat trailer parking for the Chelsea boat ramp. Whereas I would
utilize the Town lot strictly for an enhanced view from my lot across the street. I
would certainly be willing to enter into a legal agreement with the Town to keep the
Town parcel undeveloped and forever green. I would only like to remove any sumac trees
that are growing wild and maintain the parcel to keep ir:;thetically pleasing.
I am enclosing a visual to help identify the aforementioned parcels. Hopefully
the Town will find merit in my proposal. I would like to have this matter brought to the
attention of the Town Board for a workshop session.
...
Very truly,
cc town board
Vincent Bettina
