V. Public Hearings
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE APPLICATION OF A&W SCRAP PROCESSORS, INC. FOR A RENEWAL
OF ITS JUNKYARD LICENSE
Zoning administrator, Tatiana Lukianoff, began with an explanation of the licensing process
and the annual inspection process as per section 153 of the Town Code. The inspection was
performed and certain items were relayed to the owner and addressed. Supervisor Ruggiero
asked whether the Zoning Administrator was satisfied in her inspection. Mrs. Lukianoff
replied that the Town is satisfied, but also mentioned that additional issues have been pointed
out to the owner to be addressed as well. Fire Inspector, Mark Liebermann, followed up with
a list of issues that he had concerning the site. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Liebermann if
the Town was satisfied from the Fire Inspector's point of view and Mr. Liebermann replied
that it was.
Supervisor Ruggiero explained to the owners the reason for the Public Hearing. He pointed
out that the Town had received many complaints from the neighbors surrounding the junkyard
and that the Public Hearing would give the residents the chance to voice their concerns. At
this time, Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, offered the affidavits of posting and publication for
the record and the Supervisor opened up the floor to the residents.
The first resident to speak was Harriet L. Williamson of 730 Route 9D. Her main complaints
were aesthetics during the winter and noise issues year round.
The second resident to speak was Glenn A Smith of 90 Stoneykill Road. He asked where the
gas, antifreeze and oil went when cars were crushed. He also claimed that the noise from the
site begins at 5:OOAM. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Liebermann to comment. Mr.
Liebermann stated that part of his inspection dealt with inspecting documentation provided by
the junkyard that explains how they are disposing of toxic chemicals such as waste oil, gas,
Freon, battery acid, etc: Mr. Liebermann pointed out that he did not observe any leakage.
Councilman Bettina asked if it were possible to have the wells tested. Discussion concerning
the testing of wells in that area followed. Councilman Valdati made a motion to approach
DEC in order to get the wells in the vicinity of the junkyard tested. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Bettina. The motion passed unanimously.
The next resident to speak was Tony Giampietro of 18 Stoneykill Road. Mr. Giampietro's
complaints were about the noise and smell from the junkyard. He is also worried that the
junkyard was a health concern - that the residents surrounding the property are dying of
cancer possibly caused by the business. Supervisor Ruggiero explained that the junkyard pre-
dates Zoning and, as a result, it has a lot of "grand -fathered" rights which limit the Town's
authority. Councilman Bettina asked if the resident wouldn't mind bringing in a water
sample.
Jason Morse, of 2252 Route 9D, was the next resident to speak. He pointed out that a
commercial recycler is a very important part of the community.
Mr. Morse was followed by Frank Lehmann of 1946 Route 9D. Mr. Lehmann had his water
tested and the results were very good. Supervisor Ruggiero pointed out that the issues
concerning water are more aesthetic issues than whether it is potable.
George Greggo, of 8 Peacock Lane, commented next. He stated that there were no problems
with water, noise, or the site.
Adam Mayo, of 1992 Route 9D, was heard next. He wanted to point out that the noise
coming from the salvage yard, including ground vibrations from crushing cars, started at 5:00
Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 6/6/2006
Regular Meeting Minutes May 22, 2006
AM. Supervisor Ruggiero followed up with clarification of the Noise Ordinance. Discussion
dealing with the Noise Ordinance, and enforcement of the Noise Ordinance, followed.
Councilman Bettina recommendedchanges be made to the Noise Ordinance. Mrs. Lukianoff
recommended the same and stated that she had already made recommendations for the Board
to consider.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked the Town Attorney if it would be possible to set up sound meters
around the junkyard to see if it is in compliance with the levels set by the Town Code. Al
Roberts replied that it would be possible.
Councilman Paoloni asked if there were an improvement made on a property or a change of
scope of view, would the owner have to conform to the existing law. Supervisor Ruggiero
answered that they would have to, but that is not the case here.
The next resident to speak was Bill Dye of 51 Old State Road. His question had to do
standards that the permitee had to comply with. He stated, as he has witnessed in his own
personal experiences, that the burden of proof lies with the permitee. Al Roberts clarified.
Mr. Dye then claimed that Route 9D is one of the nicer corridors through the area and
recommended some sort of screening to improve the aesthetic quality of the property.
Emma Resslhuber of 1998 Route 9D commented next. She asked about a fire that occurred
on the site. Mark Liebermann gave a summary of the incident.
The next resident to speak was Mr. Richard Chain of 24 Stoneykill Road. He stated that the
noise was horrendous and that there was a problem with diesel fumes during the summertime.
He also said that the neighbors were not notified when the company changed to recycle type
operations. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Liebermann to clarify. Discussion followed.
Diane Mayo, of 1992 Route 9D, spoke next. She claimed that the noise is accompanied by
vibrations that are causing cracks in the walls' of her house. Then Mrs. Mayo asked the Board
what the next steps to take are. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that the Town would first have to
find out if there were environmental or zoning violations and proceed from there.
Councilwoman McCarthy wanted to know if a property owner was only using portions of the
scope permitted, and the new owner planned to use the full scope of the permit, would the
Town be obligated to notify the residents. Discussion concerning the scope of work
conducted at thesalvageyard property followed.
Scott O'Dell, one of the owners of A&W Scrap Processors, spoke next. He explained that the
Town Code contains a section on Salvage Dealers License and that is what he has. It gives
him the permission to deal in second-hand materials such as car parts and scrap metal. It is
the same license that dates back into the 1960's.
Mrs. Williamson asked to speak again. She pointed out that she was worried about her
property value diminishing.
Supervisor Ruggiero recapped the events of the discussion and asked for a motion to close the
Public Hearing. Councilman Paoloni made the motion to close the Public Hearing and
Councilwoman McCarthy seconded the motion. After a unanimous vote, the Public Hearing
was closed at 8:34 PM.

MS4 Stormwater Regulations - Joe Stankavage
Joe Stankavage, of Paggi, Martin and Del Bene, gave a presentation regarding the Town's 3rd
Annual Stormwater Report. The Town of Wappinger operates and maintains a regulated
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System and is required to have a permit to discharge
Stormwater. The Town's Stormwater system includes storm drains, buried pipes, roadside
ditches, catch basins, etc, and works to carry runoff and snow melts to major streams and the
Hudson River. As part of the permit, Wappinger needs to submit an annual report to the
NYSDEC by June 1St of each year. The report describes the Town's progress in instituting the
requirements of the permit and includes any comments received from the public on the draft of
the annual report. Also part of the permit process, the Town is required to have a public
presentation and provide an opportunity for public comment on the draft report, prior to coming
up with a final version that gets submitted to the DEC. The report will be submitted to the DEC
on June 1 Bt. Mr. Stankavage highlighted many of the items that will be contained in the report.
He described Town accomplishments and training opportunities that are available. Supervisor
Ruggiero thanked Mr. Stankavage for all his hard work during this process and for representing
the Town. Having no further comments or questions, Superlisor Ruggiero closed the discussion
at 8:45 PM.
Glover Water Tenancy Request - Jay Paggi
Mr. Judson Glover, of 69 Losee Road, was present for a discussion concerning his request to tie
into the Town's water main that runs in front of his property. Mr. Paggi explained that there is an
existing vacant lot on the left side of Losee Road, just South of Myers Corners Road, and an
existing Town water line in front of that property. The property is not in any Town Water
District. In the past, the Town has granted tenancy to lots adjacent to Losee Road if the owners
of those properties can demonstrate a water quality or quantity problem. Mr. Paggi
recommended that the tenancy be granted as long as the Town holds the same restrictions as in
the past, such as agreement not to subdivide. Mr. Glover stated that his property is 1'/2 acres.
The neighboring property owner had his well tested and it showed Lead in the water. He would
rather not spend the $6000 to drill a well and find out that it is contaminated with lead. He also
pointed out that, the way the house is designed, the property cannot be subdivided. Discussion
followed. Supervisor Ruggiero asked for a motion to approve Mr. Glover's request. Councilman
Bettina made the motion and Councilwoman McCarthy seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously. The discussion ended at 8:51PM.

Nussbickle Property Donation
Mr. Roberts gave an overview of the situation concerning Nussbickle Brothers Realty Corp. The
firm owns a parcel of property, on the west side of Route 9, adjacent to a Town Property known
as The Green Fly Swamp. The firm has offered this property to the Town and Mr. Roberts has
prepared Resolution 2006-137 to accept. The resolution is contingent on a satisfactory
Environmental Audit. Supervisor Ruggiero clarified that the resolution is a conditional
acceptance of Mr. Nussbickle's gift. Discussion followed. The discussion closed at 8:54PM.
Community Development Block Grants - Jay Paggi
Mr. Paggi attended a meeting concerning the Community Development Block Grants and gave
an overview to the Town Board. The Town is part of the County consortium that applies to the
FHA for the CDBG programs. Over the years, the Town has benefited from this association. At
present, the agreement needs to be updated. Each municipality needs to notify the consortium if
they intend to continue to participate. It would include a 3 year commitment. The commitment,
if given by the Town Board, would allow the Town to take advantage of all of the same benefits.
The Town would not be able to apply for any aid from any of the other individual programs -
such as "Small Cities If the Town does not participate, individual residents of the Town cannot

E. Carnwath Farms Stabilization - Don Swartz
Donald L. Swartz, R.A., of The Swartz Architectural Group, P.C., gave an update on the
condition of Carnwath farms and the status of the repairs being done. This report addressed
some of the new issues such as: options and recommendations for the mansion roof and fascia
replacement, mansion first floor stabilization, mansion porch demolition, chapel water intrusion,
carriage house stabilization, and mansion indoor air quality. Supervisor Ruggiero stated that the
proposed tenant is looking to make significant renovations to the chapel and first floor of the
dormitory. Mr. Swartz provided pictures of the buildings on the projector screen and described,
to the Town Board, what each picture was demonstrating. He then introduced Larry Holzapfel,
an associate from Quest Environmental Solutions and Technologies. Mr. Holzapfel has done all
Town of Wappinger Page I1 Printed 6/6/2006
Regular Meeting Minutes May 22; 2006
of the environmental testing includirg asbestos, lead paint, air quality, and mold. Mr. Holzapfel
gave a brief presentation and recommended making a thorough plan to follow instead of making
repairs piece -by -piece. It would take at least a couple of months to compile such a report.
Discussion followed. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Swartz where the Town stood with the
State right now. Mr. Swartz replied that the State has approved all of the work, but the issue
concerning the porches is still unresolved. The State does not want the porches torn down for
historic preservation reasons, but the Town feels that the porches are a major safety issue. Al
Roberts explained the wording of the covenant and how it affects what the Town is trying to do.
Supervisor Ruggiero recommended that he sign the emergency order to take the porches down.
Mr. Swartz pointed out that the gutters should be repaired first. Mr. Swartz estimated that if the
Board approved this action, it would be completed in 1'/2 to 2 months. If it were if fact an
emergency issue, it would be finished closer to 4 weeks. Having the situation deemed an
emergency by the Town Board, Councilman Valdati made a motion to award the bid to ACA to
conduct the work outlined in the proposal as per conditions set forth in the proposal, having
suspended the procurement policy to do so. Councilwoman McCarthy seconded. The motion
passed unanimously. Supervisor Ruggiero made a motion to authorize the architect to prepare a
long-term plan for the capital improvements necessary for the Mansion, Carnage House, and
Chapel. Councilwoman McCarthy seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Councilwoman McCarthy made a motion to authorize DiSalvo Ericson Engineering Group to do
the superstructure for the first floor stabilization of the Mansion for $8500. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Valdati. The motion passed unanimously. The discussion concluded
at 9:54PM.

VIII. New Business/Comments
1. New Business - Valdati
Councilman Valdati discussed the improvement of the traffic pattern on Route 9D. The State has
refused to place a light at the intersection of Alpine Drive because it is a private road. If it were
a Town road, the Town could petition DOT for the light. However, it has to meet certain
warrants/conditions to satisfy the State's requirements for placement of a light. If the road were
up to Town specs, the Town could take over the road if the owner's so desired. Supervisor
Ruggiero asked the Town Attorney if it were possible to create a lighting district to pay for the
bond, to pay for the light, and to pay for the study that may happen. In other words, since the
homeowners are not likely to be able to afford paying for this light, would it be practical to look
into creating a lighting district as a solution. Jay Paggi recommended, before anything else, the,
Town may wish to first find out if the warrants do exist. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Paggi to
prepare a proposal for the Board on the costs of doing this. Al Roberts pointed out that the Town
would first want to ensure it had the support of the homeowners of Montclair.
Mr. Valdati then asked for an update on the Handi Rent -all situation on Old Hopewell Road.
Code Enforcement Officer, George Kolb, reported that the company has done some minor
grading and remediation work that the Town has asked them to do. The Stop Work Order is still
in place. They have done some stabilization and planted some trees. Councilman Valdati asked
Town of Wappinger Page 12 Printed 6/6/2006
Regular Meeting Minutes May 22, 2006
who determines what work is to be done. Mr. Kolb replied that it is Mr. Paggi and himself.
Councilman Valdati asked if the residents in that area have been included in the process. Mr.
Kolb stated that he and Mr. Paggi had been to Mrs. Olivieri's home and explained the situation
both before and after. He explained that the Handi Rent -All property owner's have been
instructed to come back to the planning board for site -plan approval where they will have to
address the majority of the residents concerns. They were told that this was a temporary
measure. Mrs. Olivieri stated that "the amount of trees that were cut is not equivalent to the ten
trees they put up.". She went on to'point out that they had a buffer zone that the zoning board did
not recognize for three years. Mrs. Olivieri called the Zoning Department when the grading
started. She wants the buffer zone fixed and the amount of trees fixed. She said that the
boulders that blocked the access road have been replaced by a foot tall mound of dirt. She wants
to know if there is going to be a site -plan, if the stop work order is still on, and if there is ever
going to be a site -plan submitted to put things back the way they were. Mrs. Olivieri wants her
buffer zone and 75-100 feet put back. Mrs. Olivieri presented paperwork that she was provided
by the Zoning Board. Supervisor Ruggiero asked what the Town is requiring the owner to do in
order to fix the trees and restore the property. Mr. Kolb replied that the owner was instructed to
come back to the Planning Board for the Site Plan. The owner has begun the process - submitted
a preliminary and is expected to come in to get a full plan. Mr. Kolb again pointed out that this
is a temporary measure. Supervisor Ruggiero asked about the letter drafted by Mr. Kolb's office
saying that Mr. Lois was required to have all temporary measures completed by May 30th. Mr.
Kolb said that he is not sure if the measures were completed at this time. Supervisor Ruggiero
asked what the purpose of the temporary work. Mr. Kolb replied that it was due to the
complaints of Mrs. Olivieri and her neighbors. He understands that the work may still be
inadequate and Mr. Lois is aware of this as well. Councilman Valdati stated that he is gratified
that Mrs. Olivieri and all of her neighbors concerns have been taken into account. Supervisor
Ruggiero stated that he understood that Mr. Lois is in the process of changing the ownership of
the business. He then asked if he would still be the owner/responsible agent of the property. Mr.
Kolb replied that he would be.
2. New Business - Bettina
Councilman Bettina stated that he met with Mayor Miccio of the Village of Fishkill to confirm a
meeting including Councilman Bettina, Mayor Miccio, and Supervisor Ruggiero. Councilman
Bettina would like the record to state that he would like to see the Town could do to bring water
into the Chelsea area. The meeting will take place on June 7th at 7:30PM.
New Business - McCarthy
Councilwoman McCarthy inquired whether the letter for the residents of the Spook Hill / Robert
Road area went out yet. Supervisor Ruggiero stated that it had not. Councilman Bettina then
requested a letter be drafted for the people of Chelsea and Councilman Valdati requested a letter
for the residents of Old Hopewell concerning the ongoing litigation.
