MEMO TO:
TOWN BOARD
FROM: RECREATION COMMISSION
RE: MONEY IN LIEU OF LAND
On behalf of the Town Recreation Commission I would like
to submit a request for an increase in the recreation fees
charged to developers by the Town of Wappinger. Currently,
when the Commission decides that the available lots are
unsuitable for recreational use, the develpper is instead
charged $650.00 per building lot. The Recreation Commission
wondered if this figure was in keeping with others in our
area. A survey of the surrounding Townships showed their fees
per lot to be as follows:
TClwn elf
TCIIi'Jn --'"
LI I
TClwn elf
TC."Jn of
LaGrange - $600. per building lot
Poughkeepsie - 5800. per building lot
East Fishkill - 5900. per building lot
Fishkill - 51,000. per building lot.
Given the rapid growth of the Town of Wappinger and the
ever increasing need for improved recreational services. We
at the Recreation Commision feel that a raise in fees to $900
per Wappinger building lot would be justified and equitable.
This would give the Commission a small increase in available
funds without placing an extra burden on the individual
taxpayers. We would like to assure the Town Board, however,
that the Commission"s position will ~l~~Y~ be to first take
land ~~ our fee whenever possible.
We would appreciate your consideration of this matter
and await your reply.
