PETITIONS & COMMUNICATIONS ---
A request was received from Anthony Viverito to transfer his
agreement with the Town to become a tenant to the CWWIA to a
prospective buyer of his vacant lot on All Angels Hill Road.
The Attorney pointed out that the Town Board can transfer this
Agreement, but henceforth, it will go with the land and not have
to be transferred to each new owner. Mr. Paggi had a concern
regarding the letter submitted by Mr. Viverito in that he states
that he wants to sell to an adjoining property owner --this is
vague --does he intent to combine properties, subdivide or what.
Mr. Paggi then addressed a letter to the Town stating that he
required additional information on the parcel and the owner's
or future owner's plans and he recommended that the Board obtain
this information prior to any other action.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Supervisor to send a letter
to Mr. Viverito requesting this additional information as stated
in the Engineer's letter of May 28, 1992, which will be required
in order that the Town can transfer the agreement, as requested.
Seconded by Mr. Wallace
Motion Unanimously Carried
The annual letter from Hollis Shaw, Director of the Wassaic
Developmental Disabilities Services Office, was forwarded to the
Board indicating that they are checking this area for the purpose
of finding residential services to individuals with disabilities
who qualify for this type of housing.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and place it on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Peipei Mei, Rosewood Court sent in a request for fencing around
the culvert pipe in that area.
Mrs. Smith had talked to the Deputy Highway Superintendent Heady
RM62292
who informed her that he would repair this by Friday, however
when the Superintendent returned from his schooling he inspected
the site, talked to the person and learned that she wants fencing
around the entire easement, not just the open pipe. This is a
costly project and would certainly set a precedent to fence the
hundreds of easements currently existing in the Town. He was
reluctant to put bars across the pipe since it is located in a
wooded area and would collect leaves, twigs, etc. which would
plug it again. There is a concern of small children falling in
that pipe so it is important to consider some type of protection
to keep it off bounds to them.
It was agreed that the Engineer and the Highway Superintendent
would inspect the area and report back to the Board for discussion
at the July 13, 1992 work shop.
Keith Gordon, President of Highland Glen Development Corp.
asked the Board to consider waiving the Maintenance Bond for the
Pondview Subdivision Roads.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Supervisor to notify Mr.
Gordon that the Board cannot consider his request since there
is a written policy stating that the Maintenance Bond must be
submitted to the Town and they are required to adhere to this
policy.
Seconded by Mr. Wallace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Anthony Metrick, Spook Hill Road, was requesting permission to
hook into the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area #1 as it appeared
that his septic system is rapidly failing. The Supervisor gave
him a contact in the Health Department to request their approval
and once that was obtained the Town would also approve the hookup.
RM62292
MR. VALDATI moved to allow Mr. Metrick to hook into WSIA#l,
pending County Health Department approval.
Seconded by Mr. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Notice of Intent to renew his Farm Winery License was received
from Ron Plimley.
MR. VALDATI moved to accept the Notification and place it on
file with no comments.
Seconded by Mr. Wallace
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Hopewell Junction Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
requested a waiver of downstream drainage fees (totaling $7,000)
required for the blacktopping of their driveway.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Supervisor to inform them
that this is the Policy of the Town and they cannot approve their
request of a waiver of downstream drainage fees.
Seconded by Mr. Wallace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Notification was received from the Planning Board of their Lead
Agency designation for the Curtis Rymer Subdivision, Old
Hopewell Road.
MR. VALDATI moved to receive the notification and place it on

An application for Hawking and Peddling License was received
from Jerald Rubin.
Issuance of these licenses is in limbo at this time pending
discussion and determination by the Town Board to amend the
Peddlers Ordinance. Mrs. Smith said that this would be on the
work shop agenda for July 13, 1992.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to table action on the Peddling License
application from Jerald Rubin pending further discussion at
the July 13th, 1992 work shop.
Seconded by Mr. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from Dutchess County Department of Public
Works citing the necessity for a "No Stopping, Standing or
Parking" sign on Myers Corners Road, as requested by Mark VanKirk.
Mrs. Smith differed with their approval for the Town to place
these signs since it is a County Road.
MR. MILLS moved to authorize the Supervisor to inform Mr. VanKirk
that the County has to approve his request since Myers Corners
Road is a County Road.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Two reports were received from Camo Pollution Control, the first
regarding a sewer backup at 2 David Loop; the blockage was
taken care of, however it was recommended that the owner have
their room professionally sanitized for health reasons. Mr. Amin
told the Supervisor that the insurance company has denied payment
on his claim and he would like to discuss this with her. She told
him there was nothing she can do but he still wants to pursue this
so she will meet with him within the next few days and schedule
it on the July 13th work shop so they can all discuss it further.

The second report was in regard to hooking up the Recreation
Department trailer at the Rockingham site.
Mrs. Smith asked that the following letter be read for the record:
TO: Constance O. Smith, Town Supervisor
FROM: Michael P. Tremper, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
DATE: June 11, 1992
RE: Hook up of Recreational Dept. Water
Attached is our bill for services to provide a water service
to the Recreation Department's trailer at the Rockingham Water and
Sewer Treatment location.
As part of the "town family", CAMO is opting to donate these
services. The Recreation Department is a vital and integral
community service and we would like to take this opportunity to
support the Recreation Department as well as the community as a
whole.
MR. MILLS moved that the Supervisor send a letter of appreciation
to CAMO Pollution Control for their time and services to the
Town in providing the water service for the Recreation Trailer
at Rockingham.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Dutchess County Board of Elections forwarded information
from the Town of Burlington, Mass. on voting machines they have
available at a cost of $450.00 if any of the municipalities are
interested. The Town Clerk had previously requested to look into
these machines and consideration of purchase of three, if it
proved to be beneficial to the Town.
MR. VALDATI moved to authorize the Town Clerk to check out the
machines and purchase three, equipped for the handicapped, if
available and usable, in her judgment.
Seconded by Mr. Wallace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Ralph Holt, Chairman of the Recreation Commission, wrote to the
Board requesting approval of a Purchase Order for work at Martz
Field (fencing and blade skating), total estimate $2,450.00
Mrs. Smith noted that this was included in the Recreation Budget
) i -q
•. xX:F
for 1992 but requires approval from the Board since it is over
the amount established by the Board to purchase without approval.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve the P.O. for the Recreation in
the amount of $2,450.00, as requested.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
The second communication from Mr. Holt was a request for
additional equipment, namely a heavy truck to pull trailer and
a mower.
MR. VALDATI moved to table this item for budgetary discussion.
Seconded by Mr. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Requests for return of escrow funds were received from:
Castlecraft Homes, Lot #2, Lupi Subd., $750, Lot #7 Woodland Ct.
$1,000, Lot #3, $1,000,; Levine & Hofstetter, Red Hawk Hollow
Lot #7, $2,000, Lot #2, Lot #5, Woodland Ct. each $1,000;
Homestead Custom Bldrs. Lot #7, Wyndham Crossing $5,000.
All of the required documents were received and the Building
Inspector recommended releasing these funds.

escrow funds, upon the recommendation of the Building Inspector.

Motion Unanimously Carried

received from Millers Minute Men Construction, $500 and Ricetta
Construction $500. The proper documents were submitted and the

MR. VALDATI moved to approve the release of the escrow funds for

of the Highway Superintendent.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti Motion Unanimously Carried
RM62292
A request was received from the Highway Superintendent to go to
bid for micropaving for Ketchamtown and Stoneykill Roads. No
other information was received and the Supervisor felt it should
be discussed further at the July 13th, work shop.
Mr. Foster explained that they had never bid on this item and the
County has put out specs on it for the first time. His thoughts
were that he'd get bids for the micropaving and then compare it
with the County bid and accept the most beneficial to the Town.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Highway Superintendent to
go to bid on the micropaving, as requested.
Seconded by Mr. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Valdati asked the Superintendent's opinion as to the
effectiveness of the micropaving as opposed to the regular
paving job. It is more cost effective, however, it does not last
as long as regular paving; it is becoming very widely accepted in
the industry and the State has released specs for it which they
will distribute for bidding purposes next year. It is not a
fixable for old roads, excellent wearing surface for a probable
seven years. It cannot replace blacktopping but it can stretch
the wear so the complete job does not have to be done as often,
which represents about a 30% savings.
The Chelsea Fire District advised the Board that they had
reappointed Herbert Muller, Jr. to the Fire Prevention Bureau
for another term, and Hughsonville Fire District reappointed
Ronald Andrews for terms which will expire July 1st, 1994.
The Regulations require concurrence by the Town Board.
MR. MILLS moved to concur with the reappointments of Herbert
Muller, Jr., Chelsea representative Ronald Andrews, Hughsonville
representative on the Town of Wappinger Fire Prevention Bureau
for two year terms which will expire July, 1994.

A request was received from Anthony Pampalone to hookup to the
Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area #1 since his septic system is
failing for the second time. Approval for the hookup was received
from the Dutchess County Department of Health providing that
certain conditions were complied with, including clearance from
the Department of Environmental Conservation through the Town
Officials. Mrs. Smith had previously forwarded this request
to them.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve Mr. Pampalone's request to hookup
to the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area #1, due to the inadequacy
of the septic tank.

be demolished, agreed that signs should be placed to ward off
trespassing, especially children. Mrs. Smith explained that they
were placed but they can't seem to keep them there, they just go.

message across and keep them off the property for safety sake.
Mr. Wallace had no reports for this meeting.

but he has not seen it there. Mrs. Smith said she would check
with him.
Mrs. Smith received a letter from Mayor George Carter inviting
everyone to the July 4th celebration, 10 A.M. at Van Wyck Hall,
91 Main Street, Fishkill. She forwarded this to the Town Board
but in the event they don't receive it, she was making them aware
of it.
Referring to the C.A.C., Mrs. Smith announced a presentation on
Wed. August 19th, 7:00 P.M., Town Hall, Conserving Significant
Habitat and Rare Species, for anyone interested.
She attended C.A.C. meeting and gave the members two projects
to do-- one, because she feels the Town of Wappinger should be a
Tree City, she asked them to pursue that and look into grants;
also, she is working with Mrs. Reese on the Greenway and trying to
get a map along the Hudson River and when she does that, Mrs.
Reese will apply for funds; when the preliminary leg work is done
and the project work begins, the C.A.C. will take it over. When
they do start this work and anyone wishes to volunteer their help,
Mrs. Smith invited them to put their names on her list.
A savings report was received relating to energy savings on the
energy efficient lighting that has been installed in the Town
Hall through a grant from Central Hudson from the Pasny money. We
are saving approximately 14.4% which represents a 30% monthly
saving in electric.

Mrs. Smith noted that three additional people, although not
members, attend the meetings regularly ---Larry Murphy,
Chris Erichsen and Donald Stein.
Mr. Mills spoke about staggering the terms of the C.A.0 members
as is the custom of the other Boards of the Town. This is the
way the statute reads for the appointments to the C.A.C., however
this can be changed and he felt that perhaps next time around they
could change this.

Bids were received and opened on June 19, 1992 for two trucks
for the Highway Department -- the first was for a 4x4 truck with
plow and sander and one bid was received from Healey International
in the amount of $91,900.00. The Highway Superintendent
recommended that the Town accept this bid.
Three bids were received for the truck mounted sewer/rodder
cleaner to replace the 1979 model which will be traded. The low
bidder, was Foster's in the amount of $112,100.00, however the
truck mounted unit did not meet the Highway specs; the Highway
Superintendent recommended that they accept the bid from Healey
International which is the next low bidder and meets all of the
specs. This comes to a total of $215,124.00, over $15,000.00
from the original authorization from the Board for $200,000.00.
MR. VALDATI moved to award the bids for the two trucks to Healey
International, at a total price of $215,124.00, and authorize the
additional expenditure of $15,000.00 for the purchase of the two
trucks.

Mary Johnston, 31 Scott Drive, wrote to the Board requesting
the installation of a street sign--Slow-Children Playing, on
that street. She explained that there were numerous small
children on the street and the full stop sign at the corner
of Scott and Doyle Drive is mostly ignored by the many motorists
who out through their street.
Mr. Foster noted that they do have a number of these signs
throughout the Town, however, they do not seem to be much of a
deterrent to the speeders. It was his suggestion that the signs
be placed at the five entrances to Rockingham and Angel Brook
developments, and he would rather place these signs at those
locations rather than throughout the development.
Mrs. Smith had another request from Mr. Truett to clear the
existing STOP signs in the area as they are covered with growth
and no one stops at them anymore.
MR. VALDATI moved to approve the installation of five signs --
SLOW - CHILDREN PLAYING, at the five entrances to Rockingham and

that has been cancelled due to lack of finances and suggested
that the Town maybe do their own. The Supervisor informed him
that our Community Day will have this as their theme this year
since we always have a big parade and the timing would be
appropriate for a Columbus Day celebration.
There was no other business to come before the Board.
MR. WALLACE moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Mills
and unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
