II. Public Hearings
PUBLIC HEARING FOR WAPPINGER SEWER IMPROVEMENT AREA #5
Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, offered for the record the affidavits of posting and publication
for the Public Hearing.
Engineer to the Town, Jay Paggi, gave a brief synopsis of what the Public Hearing was about:
Sewer Improvement Area #5 is a logical extension of what was called Sewer Improvement
Area#1, which was the old main sewer district in the central portion of the Town of
Wappinger. It served Myers Corners, Spook Hill Road, Kent Road, Old Hopewell Road,
Cedar Hill Road, and that area back in the early 1970's. One of the components of that
original sewer improvement area was a pump station in the south end of the improvement area
on Cedar Hill road. That pump station was constructed and installed by the Town.back in the
late 1970's. The pump station has now failed to the point that it is not repairable and will
need to be replaced. The cost for the replacement of the pump station is $250,000 and
includes all of the necessary hard and soft costs that will be experienced in the construction.
The pump station is currently off-line. Temporary measures have been taken to pump sewage
from the South bend of Cedar Hill Road to the North end of Cedar Hill Road in the interim. It
is expected that, if approved by the Town Board, the new pump station can be on-line by
Labor Day.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked if there was anyone in the audience that wanted to make any
comments. There were no comments.
Councilman Paoloni made a motion to close the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded
by Councilwoman McCarthy. The Motion passed unanimously and the Public Hearing was
closed at 7:34 PM.

III. Discussions
A. Wappinger Farm Estates — Jay Paggi
Supervisor Ruggiero explained that there was a petition received from the residents of the Joan
Lane neighborhood regarding their concern with the Wappinger Farms Estates. He then asked
Jay Paggi to give a presentation summarizing the project. A recap of Mr. Paggi's presentation
and the comments, questions, and concerns raised by the public in attendance follows:
There are currently two applications: one to the Town Board for a rezone and another for a
subdivision that is in the hands of the Planning Board. The plan for the subdivision is for
Robinson Lane, just south of the existing Town Recreation Facility. There is a 60 acre parcel on
both sides of the road. The application is being put forward by Boris Shtutman and the applicant
professionals, Spectra Engineering of Poughkeepsie, NY. Mike White was in attendance to
represent Spectra.
A letter (petition) was drafted and presented to the Town by June Visconti. Mr. Paggi stated that
he would try to address the concerns for the residents and Board members. He pointed out that
the application is preliminary in nature, which means it has not received preliminary approval.
The first section of the petition pertained to the effect to the water supply and to the adjacent
wells. The residents feel that the development will further erode the ability for those wells to
produce water. Neither the Planning Board nor the Town Board has the jurisdiction of approval
of the placement of the wells on the property. The approval or denial lies solely with the
Dutchess County Health Department. Nobody has the rights to the water under the ground; it is
owned in common ownership. The owners of the newly proposed lots have the same rights as
the owners of the existing parcels. The Health Department states that the developer needs to
come in and, at a minimum, drill one new well for every five lots proposed during the testing
period. Since this subdivision is a 20 lot subdivision, the developer would need to drill four
wells. If it is a sensitive area, the Health Department may require more be drilled. There will
also be monitoring wells drilled. If, while pumping the new production well, there is no effect
on the monitoring well, it can be assumed that there will be no effect off the site. If the Town
finds that there is an effect, the Health Department will need to determine: 1) that there is
adequate water to support 20 new wells, and 2) what effect there will be off of the site. Based on
those factors, the Health Department will grant approval or deny the application.
Mr. Paggi then addressed the second part of the letter which focused on the residents
recommendation to stay with R-80 Zoning.
Councilman Paoloni asked if any of the 12 acres proposed for recreation were in the flood plain.
Mr. Paggi replied that, of the 12 acres, approximately 1.1 acres were in the flood plain but were
not proposed to be used.
Another item mentioned in the petition related to drainage. Mr. Paggi listed the main waterways
and floodplains in the area. In intense rainstorms, the streams have spilled over the banks. The
floodplain is put out by the Federal Government and denotes the theoretical elevation that the
stream will flood to during the 100 year storm. The definition of a 100 year storm is that it has
1/100th of a chance of occurring. It does not mean that it occurs every 100 years. In the year
1955, the Town had two 100 year storms in one week. The developed portion of the site and the
developed portion of the recreation site are all outside of the 100 year floodplain. The drainage
area in the Sprout Creek to the development site is significant — it goes all the way up to the
Town of Unionvale. The drainage area that is contributed by the new development (about 45
acres) is an almost immeasurable percentage compared to the flow coming from upstream.
Because of the soil, existing topography, and existing swales, the drainage system will be
designed so, in all storm events up to the 100 year storm, there will be zero flow off of the site.
The storm water will need to be treated as it comes off of the site. There are water quality
improvement basins proposed for under the parking area near the recreation parcel. During
storm events in recent years, water backed up onto the last few houses on Joan Lane. Mr. Paggi
pointed out that it was due to water from Sprout Creek. The water reaches a bend, goes over the
bank, and flows across the flat floodplain. Mr. Paggi finished his presentation by clarifying that
the soccer fields on the diagram are not drawn to scale or in definite locations. The floodplain
will be honored and, not one square foot of playing fields will be constructed in the floodplain.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked, "If Joan Lane were built today, with todays design requirements,
would it be allowed to be built?" Mr. Paggi responded, "Probably not." Supervisor Ruggiero
then opened up the floor to comments.
The first resident to comment was Oscar Velez of 93 Robinson Lane. He stated that the area did
have the 100 year storm last year. He had six inches of water in his basement. There is a pond
next to his house that fills up. He suggested that there be better drainage than what is proposed.
He also said that he never had a problem as far as running out of water. Mr. Paggi commented
that the proposed recreational facilities are not in the 100 year floodplain and should not exhibit
the same characteristics as Robinson Lane and Rockingham Farms. He went on to say that the
Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 611512006
Town Board Meeting Minutes June 12, 2006
20 homes will not have a significant impact on the Sprout Creek flow. Mr. Velez also asked
about the impact of significant snow storms. Mr. Paggi pointed out that the houses would be
constructed either without basements or, if they do have basements, the basement will be
constructed at an elevation that the house would stick up out of the ground.
The next resident to speak was Leonard Abbatantuono of 9 Paulette Lane. He asked if he was in
the floodplain and Mr. Paggi replied that he wasn't. He then commented that, when the Town
had the major storm back in October, his property flooded. He said that builders typically grade
everything toward the center and it causes water to flow out and around. He wanted to know
what would keep the water from flooding hi:; pr3perty. Mr. Paggi replied that the applicant is
proposing to maintain the existing swaleg around the perimeter of both sides of the property.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked if the resident had any drainage problems aside from the event last
October. The resident replied that he didn't.
Douglas B. Gale, of 57 Helen Drive, spoke next. He asked, when the developers build the
development and the roadway, will they put drainage in going out to Sprout Creek? Mr. Paggi
replied, "Yes." Another resident pointed out that, when Sprout Creek floods, the drains overflow
and do nothing.
The next resident to speak was June Visconti. She poirr�ed out that the October storm was the
fourth one that she's seen. The water flows less than three feet from the corner of her patio. She
is concerned that, if anything additional is put in that area, the water will be coming into her
house. She wanted to know if the berm would be maintained. Supervisor Ruggiero pointed out
that, in the petition that Mrs. Visconti submitted, she said that many residents have experienced a
lack of water in their wells and asked if there were any residents that had that problem. There
was one resident, Lynn Vecchio of 2 Rose Lane, that responded. She said that she put in two
pumps so far. She lost water but it came back within two days.
Anthony Costino, of 7 Paulette Lane, spoke next. His neighbor had to have his well dug twice
because it had gone dry. With all of the new homes to go in, Mr. Costino doesn't think that
anyone can determine what effect will happen when the new houses come. He went on to say
that his house abuts the lower left of the football field. The proposed 40 foot buffer zone would
put him on the ball field. The noise will be a problem for him. He stated that the lights at
Robinson Lane are on during the day and he doesn't want to pay the electric bill for that. He
said that they are on for 24-48 straight hours. Supervisor Ruggiero asked how recently the lights
were left on.
June Visconti replied that they were left on the previous Friday at 10:30PM in the pouring rain.
Mr. Farrell asked to respond. He said that the iights didn't get turned off until 10:30 because the
last game didn't get suspended until 10:00PM and it takes him a half hour to close the park and
turn the lights off. He also said that the lights were left on twice this year and explained the
reasons why. Mr. Farrell said that residents are calling in to complain that the lights are left on
even when they are not left on.
Mrs. Vecchio asked if the Town really needed more soccer fields. Supervisor Ruggiero
explained that there are 1200 children in the soccer program. Airport Park will soon be taken out
of service for repair and rehabilitation. He also stated that the Pop Warner program for this area
has no home. The Junior High School field will soon be taken out of service as well.
Councilman Paoloni asked if it were possible to increase the buffer space. Mr. Paggi explained
that if that were done, the size of the playing fields would have to be downsized. The limiting
factor is the floodplain.
Mr. Velez commented again. His concern was that the lights were on late at night for kids, but
kids shouldn't be up that late. Mr. Ruggiero explained that adults were using the fields late at
night. Mr. Farrell explained that there were many other groups that used the field aside from
Little League and gave examples.
Next to speak was Frederick B. Tartter of 101 Robinson Lane. He had an issue with a water
control basin. Mr. Paggi explained that the runoff from the new site will be completely managed
on site and would not be allowed to flow off of the site. Discussion followed. Councilwoman
McCarthy asked if the new houses would have an effect on what happens to Sprout Creek when
it flows over the bank. Mr. Paggi replied that there would be more runoff after the development
than before. The runoff would be managed using dry wells. Supervisor Ruggiero asked for a ;
clarification on the difference in pervious surface that would occur with the development. Mr.
Paggi explained that there would be the same number of homes but more road surface. That
would have a greater impact leading to more water to control.
Lynn M. Fitzgerald spoke next. She said that the lower pocket that was mentioned before is
between her property and Mr. Abbatantuono's property. That pocket becomes a moat. The
water comes through at the edge of Costino's property and Abbatantuono's property. That same
thing has happened four times in the 30 years that she has lived there.
Mr. Velez spoke again. He said that the ground gets saturated. He has gravel under his property
and the water has nowhere to go. Discussion followed.
The next resident was Donald J. Mierisch of 12 Joan Lane. He said that, if all of the runoff is
directed toward Sprout Creek, it will flood his house. Mr. Paggi disagreed. Mr. Mierisch went
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 6/15/2006
Town Board Meeting Minutes June 12, 2006
on to say that he gets puddles in his backyard from the Creek. He claimed that the groundwater
comes up above the Creek. Mr. Paggi explained that the groundwater does not come up above
the Creek. Mr. Mierisch said that the water is not going where Mr. Paggi said it is going and is
afraid that the development will add even more water. Mr. Paggi explained again that the water
would be managed onsite before it hits the Creek using dry wells and chambers under the
ground. Discussion followed.
June Visconti asked to speak again. She wanted to know what the application for rezoning was
for. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it was for a change of zone from 2 acre to 1 acre. Her
second question was whether the decision concerning the zoning change would take place after
the Department of Health made their determination. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that the change
would only take effect if the developer got final approval from the Planning Board. If the plan
fails, the zoning would stay as is. Mrs. Visconti went on to voice a concern about the Woods
Edge Developer. She claimed that the developer's property is the last house on Robinson Lane.
He is rerouting all of the water around his house, using huge pipes, into the Town of Wappinger.
She wanted to know if anyone has spoken to the Town of Lagrange to find out what was going
on. Mr. Paggi replied that it is a single family house on approximately ten acres. At the time
that the house was built, the Town of Wappinger was in contact with the Town of Lagrange to
make sure that everything was being done with the proper permits. When the owner started to do
all the additional work, the Town of Wappinger once again contacted the Town of Lagrange.
Lagrange said that everything was being done as authorized. Some of the Town of Lagrange
roads are draining into the stream, which is a tributary to Sprout Creek. Supervisor Ruggiero
asked Mr. Paggi to find out if that project had all of the required DEC approvals.
The next resident to speak was Mrs. Concetta Olivieri of 207 Old Hopewell Road. She asked
who would be building and installing the underground container that is illustrated by the blue
box on the map. Mr. Paggi replied that the developer would be handling that.
The last resident to speak was Kathryn J. Morano of 6 Rose Lane. She asked if there would be a
fence or tree line as a form of buffer in this development. Supervisor Ruggiero stated that he
thinks this would be the minimum of what needs to be done out there. That would give the
residents the peace and tranquility that they deserve. Mrs. Morano followed up by asking if
anything was being done about the traffic in that area. Supervisor Ruggiero answered that the
State Department of Transportation was working on rehabilitating the intersection of Route 376
and Robinson Lane. The Town can't force the developer to make any improvements on those
roads.
As there were no further comments or questions, Supervisor Ruggiero recapped what was
covered in the discussion and then closed the discussion at 8:43 PM.
B. Emergency Preparedness Plan
On Wednesday, May 24`h, at 7:00 PM, a meeting was held at the Town Hall to review the
Emergency Preparedness Plan. The plan was reviewed by a committee, appointed by the
Supervisor, made up of representatives of each of the Firehouses, the Sheriff's Office, the State
Police, the school district, the Town Engineer, the Town Highway Superintendent, the Code
Enforcement Officer, Fire Inspector, and so on. The committee reviewed the plan and found it
acceptable. The plan is on the agenda for this Board Meeting for adoption. Councilman Valdati
asked that a copy be sent to the Village of Wappingers. The discussion was closed at 8:53 PM.
C. Complete Arts Workshop - Ralph Holt
Ralph Holt was in attendance to give a presentation about a Complete Arts Workshop that he has
been planning. The program is intended for 13-15 year olds. There is a baby-sitting program
and an amateur radio program planned. The main program would be a 4 week course called
"The Complete Arts Workshop". The program would be instructed by Mr. Hayden Wayne. Mr.
Wayne is moving from New York City to the Town of Wappinger. Mr. Holt proceeded to give a
background report on Mr. Wayne. The class would be three hours a day. Each student would
pay $100.00 a week. The Town would be paying Mr. Wayne $1000.00 a week. Councilman
Valdati asked to see Mr. Wayne's resume. Mr. Holt listed some of the topics that would be
included in the program. Councilwoman McCarthy asked how many kids would be served. Mr.
Holt replied that he planned on having 10-12 kids per class. Councilman Valdati recommended
having something included that senior citizens could take part in as well. Discussion followed.
The discussion was closed at 9:06 PM.

V. New Business/Comments
1. Councilwoman McCarthy new business
Councilwoman McCarthy had received responses from the letter that was sent out regarding
speed limits along the Spook Hill Road area. All of the phone calls were from residents in the
Bell -Air neighborhood. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if she had the schedule from Sgt. Watterson.
Graham Foster replied that he had the new schedule and that it didn't include Bell -Air. Mr.
Foster is looking at a new piece of equipment that states the speed of the vehicle as well as a
traffic count. He said that this equipment was very helpful when used on Old Troy Road.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked Mr. Foster to get a proposal for the Board.
2. Councilman Paoloni new business
Councilman Paoloni had a resident call to ask if someone would come remove wood from her
house. Mr. Foster explained that the Highway Department does not take wood and the letter
stated that. The department takes wooden furniture but not regular wood. Mr. Foster
recommended that the resident bring it to the recycle center. Councilman Paoloni pointed out
that the resident could not as she was an older woman. Discussion followed.
3. Councilman Bettina new business
Councilman Bettina wanted to thank Supervisor Ruggiero, Town Attorney Al Roberts, and the
Town Engineer Jay. Paggi. He stated that they all had a good meeting with Mayor Miccio about
the pipeline and the water issue in Chelsea. He also said that he would like to meet up with Sgt.
Watterson about vandalism in Chelsea Ridge and traffic on Chelsea Road, Supervisor Ruggiero
pointed out that he would have meeting with Sgt. Watterson on Thursday at 4:OOPM.
Councilman Bettina replied that he would like a call to confirm.
4. Valdati new business
Councilman Valdati received a letter from Jay Paggi that was sent to Frederick Clark Engineers
and John Collins Engineers regarding Montclair Townhouses. He would like to know if there
was any progress made. Since the State would not install a light at the 9D/Alpine Drive
intersection, is there a possibility to create the special light district. Town Attorney Al Roberts
replied that he has not begun the research yet. Councilman Valdati also recommended that the
Town determine whether the Montclair management and residents would be in support of the
special lighting district solution. Mr. Paggi recommended that the Town get the proposal for the
warrants first. He went on to point out that a traffic signal at Alpine Drive would be different
than a traffic signal at most other intersections.
5. Graham Foster
Mr. Foster asked if the Town got a response from State about taking out passing zones.
Supervisor Ruggiero replied that State said that they would take out the passing zone but do
nothing else. Councilman Valdati asked if the Town could ask Dennison's office when that
action would commence. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that he has been in contact with
Supervisor Pagones and they talked about setting up a discussion to take place among the
Mayors and Supervisors Association. Supervisor Ruggiero then recommended that the Town
also seek to contact Rich Peters.
