Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
Others Present:

All joined in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning
of the Meeting.
The Minutes of May 29, 1990, having previously been forwarded to the
Board Members, were placed before them for their consideration.
MRS. VISCONTI moved that the Minutes of May 29, 1990 be and they are
approved, as submitted by the Town Clerk.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Reports were received for the month of May from Town Justices,
Supervisor/Comptroller, Building Inspector, Dog Control Officer,
Highway Department, and an additional Report from the Highway Superin-
tendent giving a synopsis of the Annual School he attended.
MR. VALDATI moved to accept the above stated Reports and place them
on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Visconti commended Mrs. Buck, the Dog Officer for doing a great
job and writing up a good report and adding her own personal quips
to the events of the day, whether good or bad. She has been trying
to get some response from the Boy Scouts to help out with a dog census,
but so far, no luck. Mrs. Visconti also commended the Highway
Superintendent for his reports and referred to Item #7 regarding
the pickup, and Item #8 re reduction of his cost per tire to 83fi
compared to the projected cost of $1.00 each, and Item #14, software
package for $1,500 compared to projected cost of $4,700.
131
Mr. Incoronato noted that the Zoning Administrator's report was
not received and said he would like to have this report reflect the
monthly violations and their status similar to the form the Dog Officer
uses. Mrs. Smith agreed to discuss this with that office and request
this information. Mrs. Visconti asked that the Building Department
itemize the escrow accounts and identify all balances.
Petitions & Communications ---
Mrs. E. Citarella, 5 Old Route 9, wrote to the Town Clerk requesting
signs be placed regulating parking and indicating Blind Driveway at
her area in the rear of the Pizza Hut. There are stores across the
street and customer parking add to the hazardous situation since not
only is the road narrow at that point, but the cars speed going in a
northerly direction until they reach the bend going on to Route 9.
The Highway Superintendent was asked to check this out and report back
to the Board with his recommendation.
Ron Friedman, 4 Cider Mill Loop wrote to the Board regarding another
accident at the intersection of All Angels Hill Road and Kent Road,
noting that each year the frequency of accidents at this intersection
keeps increasing and now averages about one per month. He suggested
several steps that the Town could take to reduce the number of these
accidents ---the stop sign on Kent Road at All Angels, he claims is
above the normal line of sight and too far to the right, also a
driver unfamiliar with the area sees Cider Mill Loop as a continuation
of Kent Road as they approach All Angels Hill Road; Kent Road is narrow
and when cars park on that road it is necessary for vehicles to cross
the center yellow line which distracts the driver in some cases that
he does not notice the stop sign ahead. His idea was to ban all
parking on Kent Road, install a second stop sign at the intersection
closer to the edge of Kent Road and install Warning signs of the coming
intersection. The Highway Superintendent noted in the discussion that
followed that the present Stop Sign could not be moved by the Town,
as it was under County jurisdiction at that intersection with a
County Road; he further noted that the site distance needs to be
improved on the westerly side of All Angels and the County should do
more trimming there. The Supervisor requested the Highway Superin-
to check this out with the County, review this situation and report
back to the Board. They also felt that this should be discussed with
132
Mr. Klein, developer of Nicole Farm Subdivision at that intersection
regarding the location of his sign. The Engineer added that the
County plans to redo that intersection so that could make a difference
with relocating these signs.
Notification was received from Chelsea Fire District of their appoint-
ment of Herb Muller to the Town of Wappinger Fire Prevention Bureau
and from HughsonvilleFire District, the appointment of Ronald Andrews;
these appointments required confirmation by the Town Board. There was
also a vacancy in the New Hackensack Fire District but notification had
not been received from them of their appointment.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to confirm the appointment of Herb Muller, Chelsea
and Ronald Andrews, Hughsonville, to the Town of Wappinger Fire Prevention
Bureau.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
An application for a Peddler's License was received from George Kantor,
Jr. to sell soda, candy, ice cream and chips throughout the Town; Mr.
Kantor had signed the required agreement to move his truck 1,000 yards
every half hour.
MR. VALDATI moved to approve a Peddler's License for George Kantor
to sell ice cream, etc. throughout the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mr. Fanuele
Motion Unanimously Carried
Requests to attend conferences were received from the Planning Board,
Zoning Board of Appeals, N.Y. Planning Federation Institute, October
21-24, 1990, Mr. Logan for Linda Liucci, Columbia County, July 9 - 13,
Mr. Logan, Seminar for Assessors, Cornell, July 22-27, no charge to the
Town, and Judge Francese, Judicial Education Program, St. Lawrence
University July 23 - 27, 1990.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve the requests from the Officials to attend
their respective Conferences and all legitimate expenses will be a Town
charge.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Fanuele noted that there were computer training sessions coming
up and he would like to have these included for approval.
133
MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve Mr. Fanuele's request for two employees
from the Justice Court and two employess from the Comptroller's Office
to attend the off site computer training on the designated dates.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Requests were received for return of various escrows placed with the
Town by: James Klein, Lot #35, Nicole Farms, $2,000; Joseph Carbon,
17 Valley Road, $2,000; Mujeebuddin Ahmed, 4 Taryl Court, $4,750;
R. Regh, 4 Norman Court, (Lot 25, Pondview) $250; V. Moccarski,
40 Mina Drive (Lot #31 Pondview) $250; Bob Novak, Lot #29, Pondview,
$294. All required documents were submitted with the requests and
the respective Department Heads recommended release of these escrows.
MR. VALDATI moved to approve the release of the escrow desposits,
as requested.
Seconded by Mr. Fanuele
Motion Unanimously Carried
Reports were received from the Engineer relating to the Wappinger
Central Junior High project and the Cooling Tower Treatment Change
at the I.B.M. Myers Corners Road Facility. Mr. Paggi had previously
met with Mr. Ponte, Acting Superintendent and Mr. Foster, Director of
Facilities Operations at the site and discussed what should be done
regarding another incident of excessive runoff and erosion from the
construction at that school; when he explained the situation to Mr.
Foster, he agreed that there were problems and planned to meet with the
contractor to discuss what they were going to do about it and Mr. Paggi
asked them to keep him abreast of what was happening. They have not,
at this date, done anything to solve the problems, however, Mr. Foster
has assured him he will do whatever is necessary to correct what has
been done.
The second report on the Cooling Tower Treatment Change at the I.B.M.
facility related to the Engineer's review of the discharge parameters
of the cooling towers and was for the Board's information.
Patrick Hynes, Route 376, wrote to the Board regarding a sewer backup
at his home and enclosed bills from Roto -Rooter and Marcojohn Construction
to snake the line, excavate and replace the sewer line. Eventually,
Camo Pollution Control was called since it appeared to be in the Town
line. Mr. Incoronato noted that this has been happening very frequently
134
even though the residents were instructed to call Camo first and let
them determine the problem before calling in outside contractors. This
results in the Town being billed from our own operators but also the
ones the residents have called. He did not believe that the Town should
be responsible for reimbursing Mr. Hynes if he had been notified of
the procedure to follow and had not followed same. It was agreed by
the Board that they would obtain further information from Camo prior to
make a determination on Mr. Hynes's request.
The Supervisor had written to Assemblyman Saland and Senator Rolison
regarding the Town supporting a bill before the State Senate that
would allow Towns the right to set speed limits for Town roads.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to accept this correspondence and place it on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence was received from Carol Garrity, Chairman of the
Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission and a request from James Sedore for
an additional drawdown of funds in the amount of $100,000 regarding
the Wappinger Plant Expansion and SEQRA Process. There was some
discussion on where the monies would be taken from and Mrs. Smith
thought possibly the -Contingency Account until such time as the bonding
comes through.
MR. FANUELE moved to approve the expenditure of $100,000 to advance
to the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission for the proposed Wappinger Plant
Expansion and required SEQRA Process for this action.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Planning Board forwarded a Findings Statement on the Alpine
Companies Shoppinger Center.
MR. VALDATI moved to accept the Notification and place it on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Incoronato noted that two new traffic lights are planned, not
just the one at the development but another one at Middlebush Road and
Route 9D and if this does materialize he predicted a traffic problem.
He then referred to an additional project to the Imperial Plaza, just
a quarter of a mile down the road from the proposed Alpine Development.
135
He questioned the need for this development and felt the Planning
Board should convey these plans to the applicant for this project so
they are fully aware of what's proposed for the immediate vicinity.
A request was received from the Highway Superintendent to purchase
a Tractor under the State Bid Contract; however no other information
was submitted. Mr. Foster explained that he had been waiting since
April to have the Contract signed and it was just done last week.
Since he would not be able to get the tractor in time to be effective
this year, he had no problem with tabling his request until next month
and resubmit it with additional information.
MR. INCORONATO moved to table the Highway Superintendent's request
until the next meeting pending further information to be provided by him.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence was received from Hayward and Pakan Associates regarding
deficiencies on some items in the Town Hall Building. John Kane,
Architect with this firm and the individual who supervised the building
of the Town Hall, had toured the building with Mrs. Smith and submitted
his recommendations for those items that needed correction. There was
also the matter of an escrow being held by the Town pending completion
of certain items and he wished to discuss the resolution of the matter
with the Board. Mrs. Smith set a tentative date of July 16, 1990, at
which time they will discuss what should be done, who should do it, and
of utmost importance, who's going to pay for it.
Judge Wolfson wrote to the Board concerning a resignation and -appoint-
ment of additional personnel in the Justice Court.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
In order that the Board could authorize the Engineer to prepare
contract documents for WSIA#3 within the required time frame, the
Supervisor announced that she intended to change the meeting date for
July.
MRS. SMITH moved to change the Meeting Date for July from the 23rd
to July 30th, 1990.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
136
Committee Reports ---
Mrs. Visconti, Highway, referred to the synopsis submitted by the
Highway Superintendent of the Annual Conference specifically for this
position.and he recommended annual attendance for the current Superin-
tendent. She commended the Highway Superintendent and felt that all
who attend conferences should submit such a report.
Recreation, all Board Members received letter from Mrs. Rider regarding
her position with the United Soccer Group; she informed the Board that
she is working with Mr. Holt on the Soccer Intermunicipal Agreement
and she will keep them informed of what's happening after she meets
with Mr. Holt.
Mr. Incoronato, letter from Tim Classey dated June 21, 1990 in which
he stated that the Building Department is operating at a loss of
$12,000 a year and he blames it on fees on construction permits being
outdated and has proposed upgrading these figures. Mrs. Smith said
this would be on the Agenda for July since it came in too late for this
Meeting.
His second concern had to do with environmental issues regarding
mosquito spraying and was upset to see the spray truck in his
neighborhood ---no prior notice. Mrs. Smith explained that the residents
have to call the County Mosquito Control if they do not wish their area
sprayed. Mosquitos have been at an all time low this year and the Board
has concerned themselves with the environment, with recycling and we
don't need the spraying this year and here we are paying for it and no
information she receives to the Councilpeople. A last comment from
Mr. Incoronato was that he would absolutely vote against mosquito
vote was taken. Mrs. Smith informed
him
that last year the Board agreed
to put $10,000 in the budget for this
purpose
and the Agreement has been
signed. Mr.Incoronato continued with
his
objections saying that the
Board should abandon the spraying if
they
are going to continue their
campaign to save the environment. It
was
Mr. Valdati's opinion that
the Town should know what areas are being
sprayed via County notification.
Mrs. Smith said she would contact the
County and forward whatever
information she receives to the Councilpeople. A last comment from
Mr. Incoronato was that he would absolutely vote against mosquito
137
spraying next year, he will lobby for this. The Supervisor wished
him to be aware that as much as he didn't want the spraying there are
those on the other side who want it very much, so when budget time
comes they will discuss it and determine whether to allot money for
the program.
Mr. Valdati, Safety, spoke on an old matter that they recently
received correspondence on concerning a request to the New York State
Department of Transportation for a reduction of speed limits in the
southwestern portion of the Town and this was over a year and a half
ago with no action from them. The correspondence mentioned that it
would be a year to a year and a half time frame for response and that
is the time we have been waiting. The area warrants this speed reduction,
he felt and a response should be directed to the Town from the D.O.T.
The Town Clerk brought up a point that when follow up letters are sent,
the files are pulled out and the request moves down on the list which
could delay it another six months.
Mr. Fanuele, Recycling, noted that it would begin in our Town on
July 14th; he read an article in the paper that K -Mart will pay $2.00
each for old batteries and it doesn't have to be their brand.
Mrs. Smith added that there will be a press release in the Southern
Dutchess News, the top half of the display was designed by Vic Fanuele
and the bottom half by the Supervisor. There will be a ceremony at
9 A.M. on that day at the Town Highway Recycling Site.
Computers ---hopefully both the Town Justices and the Comptroller's
will have their plan installed in July. The Highway Superintendent
found his own system and it is installed.
Resolutions ---
A letter and proposed Agreement was received from Matthew Rudikoff
Associates, Inc. which would authorize this firm to prepare the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the formation of a Sewer
Improvement to connect with the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission's
existing wastewater transmission and treatment plant. There were
certain figures in the Agreement that were not entirely acceptable
to the Supervisor and brought them to the Board's attention for
purposes of discussion.
MRS. SMITH moved to table action to the end of the Agenda and
consider the Agreement following an Executive Session.

Item 7e and 7f were removed from this Agenda.
A proposed Local Law Regulating Parking on Ervin Drive and Blackthorn
Loop was submitted to the Town Board by the Attorney, at their request.
The language was not acceptable to them in that the regulations stated
that they would be in effect on Saturdays, instead of school days.
This was tabled for correction of the wording.
In the matter of the Establishment of an Ambulance District for the
Town of Wappinger, exclusive of the Village of Wappingers Falls, a
public hearing had been held in 1987 by a previous Town Board. There
were questions regarding the inclusion of a portion of Chelsea who
were being served by the Beacon Ambulance Corp at no cost to them.
This was referred to the previous Attorney to the Town and it was the
Town Clerk's understanding that the Beacon Corp was not interested in
serving this area if the Town was considering the formation of a
district. The Resolution to be considered will be for the entire
Town, exclusive of the Village of Wappingers Falls, and will be subject
to a permissive referendum after publication and posting for a period of
thirty days. At the end of that time if no petitions have been filed for
a referendum, another resolution will be placed in front of the Board
approving the District. If the Town chooses to pursue it, then they
will discuss the economics with a specific vendor, or they can let
it sit until they are ready to move ahead. If and when the Board does
go forward with the next step, they will schedule work shops to discuss
the mechanics.
The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN FANUELE who moved
its adoption:
WHEREAS, on October 19, 1987, the Town Board conducted a public
hearing on the proposed establishment of the "Wappinger Ambulance
District", and
WHEREAS, notice of said public hearing was duly published and
an affidavit of publication was filed with the Town Clerk, and
WHEREAS, a map entitled "Proposed Ambulance District, Town of
Wappinger", dated October, 1987, was prepared by the Engineer to the
Town and said map was considered by the Town Board at said public
hearing, and
142
WHEREAS, the public had full and ample opportunity to be
heard, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed the matter with respect
to Article 8 ECL and the related Title 6 part 617 NYCRR and intends
to issue a NEGATIVE DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
1. The Town Board of the Town of Wappinger hereby determines
that the intended action, that is the establishment of the proposed
Wappinger Ambulance District, is both an unlisted action pursuant
to Article 8 ECL and the related Title 6 part 617 NYCRR and an
action for which there are no other involved agencies,

The Board had a work shop to discuss the Camo Pollution Control
Contract as Operators of our Water and Sewer Plants and were now
ready to consider said contract.

and authorize the Supervisor to sign said Contract, contingent upon the

the Town a good deal of money and she requested that they discuss
figures more thoroughly before they agree to renew this contract.

Unfinished Business ---
Mr. Fanuele updated information he gave at the last meeting regarding
changing the name of manhole covers in Sacremento, California and he
has learned that the City Council will label them "maintenance holes"
so there will be no discrimination of the sexes.
Mr. Valdati referred to a claim by one of the Justice Court employees
due to vandalism on her car in the Town Hall parking lot which was
submitted to our Insurance Agent, Marshall & Sterling and asked the
status of this claim. The Supervisor replied that she has received no
further complaints and assumes it has been taken care of.
New Business ---
Jerry Cauda, resident of Ketchamtown Road, spoke of a problem he has
been having going through an application for a property realignment
for 1} years. He spent many hours today in the Dutchess County
Clerk's office tracking down a map and.when it was found, he learned
145
that while the map was in the Town Hall Offices a mistake was made on
it and he now has to have new maps at a cost of another $800. He is on
a three month limit and he questioned if he could get an extension.
He claimed there was an omission on the map and an error and the County
would not accept it for filing, furthermore, this was done by the
Planning Board. The Supervisor requested him to come in to her office
as soon as possible to discuss the matter further and in the meantime,
she would speak to Mr. Levenson and the Planning Board to see what the
problem is and how it occurred.
The following proposed Local Law on Tree Preservation was introduced
by SUPERVISOR SMITH:
(Local Law Attached Hereto and Made Part Thereof of
the Minutes of This Meeting)

proposed Local Law on Tree Preservation, and
WHEREAS, the provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law
requires that no local law shall be passed by the Legislative Body

Resolution Duly Adopted
Ralph Nenni, resident of Ketchamtown Road, was recognized by the
Chair and explained that he had a problem in front of his house
where the road is breaking up and his house shakes when vehicles are
using it. The cause, he felt, was because the Highway Department
keeps raising the road, as it has been paved many many times, and his
house gets lower than the road level; below his house is a knoll which
is very dangerous since it is a blind location and when drivers reach
this at excessive speed, they are air borne. In his opinion, correction
146
of the situation would be a simple project and would not be an
expensive one; something has to be done to make his home safe and
the others on the road. Mr. Nenni did not think that the Highway
Superintendent was grasping the situation and the procedure involved
in correcting it, however, Mr. Foster met him at the site and noted
that one section of the road was flaking off the top and in the past
an attempt was made to put on about one inch cap and it will not stick.
He informed Mr. Nenni during this inspection that he would repair this
properly, however, there will still be a problem with the road being
built up, as explained by this resident. In addition there was a
storm sewer installed in front of the house and the patch that was
made as properly as could be done, still presents a problem and the
only thing that can be done there is to put more blacktop which will
raise the road again. Correction of the knoll would not be practical,
Mr. Foster felt, as it is a good sound road and he would rather not
disturb it. For this reason he has given this situation low priority
on his work schedule, but he will do whatever he can to help Mr. Nenni.
This resident continued discussing his concerns, adding that the storm
sewer that was put in for the newer homes should have been extended
up to his home since he was the first home there and he had the
drainage problem. This was promised to him and never completed and
his argument was that the Highway has a big crew and they should be
doing some of that work instead of spending so much time on garbage
pickup. Mrs. Smith defended this department, commended the crew and
explained that part of the time has been spent on the pickup, but at
least two days a week are being spent on road work; this pickup could
have been planned for the weekend, at the expense of the taxpayers.
She will request the Highway Superintendent to check out his complaints
and do whatever has to be done that he determines is the Town's
responsibility. Regarding the speeders, Mr. Foster said he would
alert the Town Patrol to traverse that road and watch for violators.
Mr. Fanuele, on Cablevision, read that the new contract, under State
Law, must be ten years or shorter, not longer; he also had a communica-
tion from that company that they are taking two stations away and,
according to the Supervisor, he was not alone, she had had thousands
of calls from residents complaining about that fact. Our Cable
Chairman, Charlie Cortellino, suggested that he replace his set with
a more modern one and he'll get more stations.
147
The matter of considering the new Franchise was referred to the
Attorney and he has been constantly seeking information on the laws
by calling Albany and has learned that they are approving ten year
terms, the reason being that the Cable Commission is requiring a
number of technical changes by these companies and this period of
time seems the most appropriate to advertise the costs over the life
of the equipment; they also indicated that as a service to the local
communities, in view of the repeated regulation changes, they will
review our contract and will report their findings and recommendations
to us probably within a week. As to the renewal process, the Town
has to hold a public hearing on the proposed Franchise Agreement
and this is pending on further communication from Mr. Erichsen, General
Manager of U. S. Cablevision, requested at a previous work shop with
him and the Town Board.
MRS. VISCONTI moved that the Town Board go into Executive Session.

The Meeting reconvened at 9:34 P.M., with all five Board Members

MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve the Agreement between Matthew D.
Rudikoff Associates, Inc. and the Town of Wappinger with respect to

LOCAL LAW NO. of the year 1990
A -local law entitled Tree Preservation
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
as follows:
Section I. Purpose
A) The Town Board finds it has been established that trees

disrupts the Town's ecological systems. It is, therefore, .
the purpose of this chapter to prevent the indiscriminate or
unnecessary destruction of trees within the Town of
Wappinger.
B) The Town, furthermore► takes note of the findings of the
New York State Environmental Quality Review Act, among them
being the obligation of the Town to serve as a steward of
air, water► land and living resources and the obligation to
protect the environment for the use of this and further
generations. It is the intent of the Town to recognize these
responsibilities in part by providing these procedures as
well as to preserve the public health and welfare and rural
character of the community which is reflected in the wood-
lands of the Town of Wappinger.

The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavit of Posting and
Publication, duly signed and notarized. (These Affidavits are
attached hereto and made part thereof of the Minutes of this Hearing).
Mrs. Smith explained that the State has lowered the requirements for
fencing around swimming pools and it is the consensus of opinion that
this action will be overturned. The Town, therefore, wants to upgrade
their requirements at this time for safety reasons and in the event
the State reverses their decision, the Town's requirements will be in
place.
The Dutchess County Planning Board forwarded their opinion that this
is a local concern and the Town Planning Board recommended approval.
There were no comments made either for or against the proposed Amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mr.
Incoronato and unanimously carried.
