The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was

The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 15, 1988 and the Special
Meeting of August 30, 1988, having previously been forwarded to the

Motion Unanimously Carried
Petitions & Communications ---
Mr. & Mrs. Frank Greggo petitioned the Board for a "School Bus Stop"
sign at the intersection of Ketchamtown and Old Ketchamtown Road.
Mr. Greggo was present and requested that such sign also be placed
between Old Ketchamtown Road and his house which is on the corner
going north toward Route 9D. The reason for this request is due to
the speed of the vehicles at this location and although it is posted
at 35 MPH, many of the cars travel in excess of 50 MPH. There are at
least 9 preschool and grade school waiting for the bus and he has seen
cars nearly hit the school bus as well as pass the stopped bus.
256
MRS. PAINO moved to direct the Highway Superintendent to erect a
School Bus Stop sign and discuss the locations with Mr. Greggo prior
to putting the signs in place.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
Residents of Bowdoin Lane forwarded a petition to the Board for a
speed limit of 25MPH on that road; there were about twenty signa-
tures on the petition and it stated that were about 20 children
in an area of .2 miles and they were concerned due to the speed
of the neighbors.
MRS. PAINO moved to request the Dutchess County Department of Public
Works and the New York State Department of Transportation to reduce
the speed on Bowdoin Lane to 25 MPH.
Seconded by Mrs. Smith
Motion Unanimously Carried
Notice of intent to apply for an off -premises beer license was
received from Friendly Deli, Route 376, and a liquor license renewal
from The Hamlet on Route 9D, both in the Town of Wappinger.
MRS. SMITH moved to file both Notices with no comment.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Clerk was served with a Tax Review from Wappingers Falls
Plaza Associates.
MR. VALDATI moved to refer this matter to the Attorney to the Town
to answer and defend on behalf of the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Several requests were received from Officials and Department Heads
to attend various conferences: Judge Francese, Advanced Continuing
Judicial Education Program at Ellenville, New York from October 2 to
October 5, 1988; Judge Wilson for the two Court Clerks to attend
New York State Association of Magistrates Court Clerks at Fallsview
Resort and Country Club, October 2 to 5,1988; Mr. Levenson, New York
State Code Certification Training School at Dutchess County Fire
Control, Poughkeepsie from October 3 to 6, 1988; Mr. Logan for his
Clerk to attend Assessment Administration September 18 to 23, 1988;
and a late one from Mr. Lieberman to attend school September 26 to 29,
1988.
L
257
MRS. SMITH moved to allow attendance at the respective conferences
and all legitimate charges, plus mileage at $.22i a mile, will be
a Town charge.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Logan noted that there will be no cost to the Town for his Clerk
to attend school, other than mileage.
Several correspondences were received regarding alternate sites
and objections from residents to various sites plus a communication
from Mary Ann Barca to remove her residence at 27 Kendell Drive
from the list of alternate sites.
MRS. SMITH moved to honor Mrs. Barca's request and remove her home
from the alternate list for a proposed group home at 5 Drew Court.
Seconded by Mrs. Paino
Motion Unanimously Carried
The other correspondences have been copied to the Attorney.
MRS. PAINO moved to accept the correspondence and place them on
file.
Seconded by Mrs. Smith
Motion Unanimously Carried
Several communications were received from the Engineer; the first one
was in regard to Fleetwood Water District. Mr. Paggi explained that
they were preparing plans and specifications to submit to the Health
Department for installation of additional storage facilities, per
the informational hearing that was held last June and subsequent
meetings with Mr. Marlow of the Dutchess County Health Department.
Hopefully this agency will expedite the approval and forward it to
him by the middle of October.
MR. FARINA moved to accept this correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
- The second one referenced Tall Trees Water System and the inadequacy
of the wells. Camo Pollution Control advised him that the No. 1 well
was dropping off drastically; since No. 2 well was out of water the
first one was the sole source of water to the Tall Trees residents.
Water was trucked in almost on daily or bi-daily basis. Mr. Paggi
contacted a firm in New Jersey that specialized in rehabilitating
wells especially those drilled in rock formations, as is the case
258
with the Tall Trees wells. Due to budget constraints and cost of
trucking in water for a period of time, Mr. Paggi authorized this
firm to rehabilitate well No. 1 at a cost of $3,570. Pump tests
were taken which determined that the well was brought back to its
capacity by nearly 100%. It has been monitored daily during the
last two weeks and it not only has maintained its level but it has
improved steadily. Due to this success he now sought authorization
from the Board to do this work on well No.2 which will be higher due
to the 6" casing and will run approximately $4,500. He felt it would
be in the best interests of the district to do this work then they will
have a dual source of water.
Mr. Valdati had checked with the residents and found they had no
problem with pressure and that it seemed cleaner.
MR. VALDATI moved to authorize the Engineer to proceed with the work
on well No. 2 in the Tall Trees Water District at a cost of $4,500.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
The third report was on Pondview Pump Station Overflow --- Mr. Paggi
reviewed the history on the pump station and the problem of the
overflow into Mr. Hussain's residence on Bel Aire Lane. The Board
had previously authorized the Engineer to prepare a solution to this
overflow so Mr. Hussain could have relief from this problem. Mr.
Paggi devised a plan to provide an emergency overflow into an existing
drainage system. He felt it was a practical solution of the problem,
however, it did not receive approval from the Health Department, nor
did they offer any other solution. Mr. Paggi felt they might reconsider
if the Town Board contacted them.
MRS. PAINO moved to direct a letter to the Dutchess County Department
of Health indicating that the plan prepared by our Engineer is a
practical solution to a sporadic problem and request that they
reconsider their stand in this matter.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
L
259
A recommendation was received from Edward Hawksley, Chairman of
the Planning Board, that the Town adopt the Dutchess County standards
and revise our Soil Erosion Control Ordinance accordingly.
MRS. PAINO moved to -authorize the Attorney to prepare the necessary
resolutions to repeal the Town Ordinance and adopt the Dutchess
County Standards.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
A resume was received from Edward Duffy to fill the vacancy that
exists on the Planning Board.

Mrs. Smith noted that this appointment was tabled several times pending
a recommendation from the Planning Board and they still do not have one.
Mrs. Paino responded that she had discussed this with the Chairman and
he said they really don't have a recommendation to offer.
The term of Noel Thomas Slocum on the Board of Assessment Review will
expire on September 30, 1988 and the matter was placed before the
16/ Board for their consideration.
The following resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR PAINO who moved
its adoption:
RESOLVED, that Noel Thomas Slocum be and he is hereby reappointed
as a member of the Town of Wappinger Board of Assessment Review to fill
the vacancy which has occurred due to the expiration of his term, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the said Noel Thomas Slocum's term
to the Board of Assessment Review will expire September 30, 1993.

Mr. Joseph Grogan, Dutchess County Department of Public Works wrote
to the Board regarding a sight distance problem at the intersection
of Myers Corners Road (CR 93) at Montfort Road. It was also noted
that Montfort Road is extremely wide at this intersection.
MRS. PAINO moved to refer this matter to the Engineer and Highway
Superintendent for discussion with Mr. Grogan and recommendation at
the next meeting.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Chief Edward Dominello, Hughsonville Fire District, wrote to the
Board requesting that the existing fire hydrant system be upgraded
along with the proposed construction of new and additional water
storage tanks in the Fleetwood Development.
Mr. Paggi noted that there are no hydrants used for fire fighting
purposes in that area; the hydrants are used to flush the main
systems. They would need a large amount of storage and also pressure,
to have such hydrants. In answer to Mrs. Paino's question on what they
would need to convert the present hydrants to fire fighting ones, Mr.
Paggi explained they would have to put in a remote elevated storage
facility to make it adaptable for these purposes and the cost would
be a substantial amount.
Mrs. Paino requested the Engineer to write to Chief Dominello and
explain this to him.
MRS. SMITH moved to receive Chief Dominello's letter and place it
on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Judge Francese wrote to the Board regarding the recovery of forfeited
bail bond money.
MRS. SMITH moved to refer this communication to the Attorney to the
Town.
Seconded by Mrs. Paino
Motion Unanimously Carried
26/
A Letter of Credit in the reduced amount was received from Highland
Glen Development Corp. The request for a 70% reduction was approved
at the last meeting. The Attorney reviewed the amended Letter of
Credit and found it to be in proper form.
MRS. SMITH moved to accept the amended Letter of Credit from Highland
Glen Development Corp. which will expire December 31, 1988.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
A response was received from the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission
in reference to the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement on
the Town's Wastewater Treatment Facilities Report. The communication
was within the comment period time allotted pursuant to SEQR regulations.
MR. REIS moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Carlo Picciotti, Mocassin View Road sent a letter to the Board
regarding the question of whether his property is within the Town
Water District. He has been paying double rates as a tenant to the
district for the past six years plus the $500.00 hook up fee. It
was mentioned to him recently by another resident in that area that
this property is within the Watch Hill Water District and he is
entitled to this service at the normal fee.
Mrs. Paino requested the Engineer to research the property to
determine if it is within this district and report his findings to
the Board.
A resignation was received from David Wood as a member of the
Architectural Review Board.
MRS. SMITH moved to accept the resignation with regret and forward
of letter of thanks to Mr. Wood for his service to the Town.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. D. A. Mastropietro, Project Manager of the New York State Department
of Transportation contacted the Board in relation to the matter of
the sidewalk installation for the bus shelter at the Wappinger Plaza
during the Route 9 reconstruction. The NYSDOT would bear the expense
of the construction, however, they indicated that the Town would have
to maintain them. After checking with the Highway Superintendent
262 -
since it would be under the purview of his department, Mr. Croshier
responded that he would not maintain them. This correspondence was
one more try by that agency to encourage the Town to reconsider.
Mr. Valdati felt it would be a great opportunity for the Town to
have the sidewalks and recommended that a work shop be held with Mr.
Croshier and endeavor to work out some arrangements with him.
Mr. Farina concurred and noted that the Town of Poughkeepsie will
have the bus shelters and sidewalks and it is the proper action for
the Town of Wappinger to provide its residents with this convenience.
MRS. SMITH moved to table action on the matter pending a work shop
with the Highway Superintendent.
Seconded by Mrs. Paino
Motion Unanimously Carried
It was requested that the Town Clerk forward a letter to Mr. Mastropietro
notifying him of this action.
Mr. Valdati asked the Attorney about the feasibility of creating a
sidewalk district with those who would benefit by the sidewalks.
Mr. Wood thought perhaps the Town could consider contracting out the
maintenance of the area to a private contractor and levy the adjacent
properties or make arrangements with the manager of the Wappinger
Plaza. His point was that there are other avenues to pursue for the
upkeep of the sidewalks.
The next items under this category were informational matters; the
first communication was from William Bathrick, Assistant Civil
Engineer with the Dutchess County Department of Public Works re
school speed limit requests. The purpose of the letter was to:
re -acquaint various town and school boards with the procedure used
in establishing school speed limits and is identical to the one
followed when requesting an area or a linear speed reduction for a
given road.
MRS. SMITH moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
263
The second was a Memo from Mark Liebermann, Fire Inspector, to
the Fishkill Montclair Association regarding designating fire lanes
and maintaining them properly.
MR. VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
A Notice was received from the Village of Wappingers Falls on a
Public Hearing on a rezoning request from Wenliss Park Realty to
change the category of R -2F, two family residential to GB, General
Business; said hearing was schedule for Tuesday, September 27, 1988
at 7 P.M. at the Village Hall.
MR. FARINA moved to accept the Notice and place it on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Smith
Motion Unanimously Carried
Committee Reports ---
Mr. Valdati, Highway, had comments on the pickup last Saturday which
was conducted in the Rockingham area. He had no knowledge of a
resolution authorizing this pickup and it was not discussed at any
recent work shops.
Mrs. Paino referred to the Minutes of June 20, 1988 which included
a resolution unanimously approved by the Board for hiring the Highway
employees to conduct a pickup, with highway equipment, on their own
time, either evenings or Saturdays. The Highway Superintendent has
refused to conduct a pickup during normal work hours. It was also
indicated at that time that the men would be paid time and one-half
salary. The procedures that the men would follow were explained by
the Supervisor as to identifying the areas that the men would service
each Saturday. Mr. Valdati differed with this explanation, stating
that it was not a resolution but a motion directing the Attorney to
the Town to contact Richard Blair, Regional Representative of the
CSEA, indicating that it was the intent of the Board to ask the
highway employees to conduct a pickup in the Town using the Town
highway equipment. It was not a definite plan since they discussed
other aspects of this plan, when it should be done, where and so on.
He felt that the Town Board should be a part of any negotiations
which took place. He asked the Attorney to the Town if a resolution
was in order for this action. Mr. Wood replied that it would be
two parts ---first, the amount budgeted for this purpose and secondly,
264.1
the resolution of June 20th. He would have to see what the amount
was allotted in the budget and who was authorized to expend it, before
he could render an opinion. Mrs. Smith requested that she be copied
on this opinion when it is completed.
After all joined in a discussion of the pickup, Mr. Valdati referred
to a letter received from the Highway Superintendent and again requested
an opinion from the Attorney. Mr. Croshier had no objections to the
men working on their own time, however he does object to and forbids
the use of the equipment. He cites certain laws, "all tools,
implements and other highway equipment owned either by the Town or
the highway districts therein shall be used by the Town Superintendent
in such a manner and in such places as he shall deem best, they shall
be under the control of the Superintendent and be cared for by him
at the expense of the Town". He requested that the Attorney also
render a legal opinion on the quote in Mr. Croshier's letter.
In response to a resident's question on who runs the Town, the Highway
Superintendent or the Supervisor, the Attorney explained that he is
an independently elected official and the only control the Town Board
has over him is through the budgetary process. It was Mr. Valdati's
opinion that they could sit together as officials and come to an
agreement on the matter of a pickup.
Mr. Farina, on a related matter, reported that at the time the
dumpsters were placed at the Highway Department a few months ago,
the residents dropped 128 tons of debris, at a cost of $33,680.25
to have it collected. The Castle Point Landfill is closed and the
Recreation Commission has plans for more ballfields at the location.
There are still tires dumped there from previous cleanups and he
and Mrs. Smith have contact with two contractors to remove the tires.
They have indicated that the Town employees must load the bins, he
will not provide individuals to do this. Mr. Croshier has informed
Mr. Farina that this is not a highway problem, and his position is
that the Town Board were responsible for putting the tires in the
landfill, now it is their responsibility to remove them. He felt
a work shop must be held to make arrangements to remove the tires
before the ground freezes.

MR. FARINA moved to schedule a work shop meeting with the Highway
Department to discuss the tire removal from the Castle Point Landfill
Site.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Smith, Celebration Chairman, reported that Community Day was
fine, and they have started making arrangements for next year.
Last Saturday, Citizenship Day was celebrated at the Town Hall; it is
200 years old and represents the day the Constitution was signed.
Dial -A -Ride is trying to find a place for the buses; they have a
contract for the workers which will result in an increase in every-
thing. The County has never contributed toward this program, but this
year they will put in $72,000 from MTA money; Federal monies, $90,000,
Wappinger's share last year was 10,659.00, and for the year 1989
budget it will be $12,791.00, a 20% increase.
Resolutions ---
Now that the Public Hearings have been held on the environmental
studies on the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Plan, pursuant to the
SEQRA proceedings, it was now required that the Board submit their
decision on the four alternates involved, and direct Saratoga Associates
and Wardlaw Associates to put together the findings.
Mrs. Paino opened the floor to the public and asked them if they had
any comments to make.
Those who spoke included Nick Johnson, former Councilman, Allan
Rappleyea, Attorney representing the Reese Family, Don McMillen
Wappinger County Legislator and Carol Sondheimer, representing the
organization Scenic Hudson; all of these speakers were in favor of
the Town Board choosing the alternate of Tri -Municipal.
Mrs. Paino then added her comments and noted that it appeared, from
listening to the residents that they were in favor of the Town taking
the regional approach and opt for the Tri -Municipal. This would
eliminate the alternate of rebuilding the Oakwood Knolls Sewer Plant;
also there is quite a bit of controversy over putting a sewer treatment
plant in parklands, that being Reese Park property, so that would
strike out another option. That leaves two options when addressing
a regional approach in this Town ---hooking in to Tri -Municipal and
the other to build a plant south of the Reese Park property which is
referred to as the new Wappinger Option.
26 Co
She agreed that the Tri -Municipal option had some merit to it, however
there could be some stumbling blocks to that. We would have to make
certain that the Town Board and Tri -Municipal comes up with an
agreement that would be for the best intereests of the residents and
also be acceptable to them. We would also have to adopt a local law
to repeal Local Law #6, 1981, barring future Town Boards from
negotiations with Tri -Municipal and this would be put out to a
referendum.
Mrs. Paino moved that Saratoga Associates be directed to put together
findings that the Town of Wappinger is interested in exploring an
agreement to hook up to Tri -Municipal, also as a fall back position,
should negotiations fail with this choice, we would opt for the new
Wappingers Regional Option.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Prior to the vote on this motion a lengthy discussion ensued during
which time some of the Town Board Members cited reasons for not
accepting this motion. Mr. Valdati noted that he had received
conflicting opinions and there seems to be confusion as to the
legality of Local law #6 of 1981 and he wished to make a motion to
direct the Attorney to file a declaratory judgment with the Supreme
Court on Local Law #6, 1981 to determine if it is a point of law.
Mrs. Smith was ready to second this motion, however, it was pointed
out that there already was a motion on the floor. Both Mr. Valdati
and Mrs. Smith had conferred with the D.E.C. and they were told that
if the Town chose the Tri -Municipal option, they were to inform the
D.E.C. and the Attorney General of the Town's intent and the weight
of fines being imposed on the Town, would be removed. If they went
for another option, they would have to apply for a SPDES permit which
would mean extra money, Mr. Valdati pointed out. He asked that the
motion on the floor be amended to omit the second option, however
Mrs. Paino noted that she had nothing in writing to confirm Mr. Valdati'
statement and her motion stood as stated. As far as she knew the Town
is under a court order which stipulates certain time restraints the
Town has to meet and unless they are met, we will be find $10,000 per
day. This was her understanding and unless she was notified to the
contrary, she would abide by the court order. The Attorney also noted
that the Attorney General's office, representing the D.E.C. in this
instance, has not indicated anything to him other than on October 15,
267
there has to be a SPDES permit either on Tri -Municipal or one of
the other options in order not to affectthe time table that presently
exists. Mrs. Smith reiterated the statements made by the D.E.C. and
added that the D.E.C. says if we choose Tri -Municipal, they will apply
for the permit, if needed. We have to write to the D.E.C. and the
Attorney General's office stating this is our choice, a waiver of date
due to referendum which they are well aware of, and if referendum fails,
we'll have a second option ready and apply for the SPDES permit and
meet the new date. Mrs. Smith conducted a telephone poll in Wards
1, 2, and 3, called 50 people and Tri -Municipal was far above the
other options, also In Ward 4, called 30 people and almost all of them
chose Tri -Municipal. She felt they should stop talking and get on
with the choice that all seemed to want.
Mr. Wood was asked to make comments and told the Board that the
decision was theirs to make, but if they do go for Tri -Municipal,
they should sit down and come to an agreement and start the clock
running with respect to the impediment of dissolving Local Law #6
of 1981 either through referendum or perhaps through litigation.
Unless and until something comes through from the D.E.C. in writing,
he would want to pursue it with them with respect to any extensions
of time which might be necessary.
Mrs. Paino recognized Bob Bristol, Saratoga Associates, Donna Wardlaw
from Wardlaw Associates and Dave Hanna from Frasier Associates and
asked Ms. Wardlaw if the Town Board could, under SEQRA, make a finding
directing Saratoga to put together findings from this Town Board
stating that we want to go in the direction of Tri -Municipal and also
have the new Wappinger option available if negotiations fail. It was
Ms. Wardlaw's opinion that if you choose Tri -Municipal alone, you must
stick to that option, SEQRA makes no provision to change your mind.
If there is a problem in the future with the alternate the Board has
chosen, they must reopen the proceedings for another alternate and go
through the same schedule again. The Supervisor reiterated her motion
and asked for a roll call vote.
MRS. PAINO moved to direct Saratoga Associates to prepare findings
based on the Town's choice of hooking up to Tri -Municipal and a
secondary choice of Wappinger Regional Option, in the event the
negotiations fail on the first choice.
Seconded by Mr. Reis

Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays
Mr. Farina wanted it to be on the record that he was for the Tri -
Municipal alternate over the new Wappinger option, however, in the
interest of not expending any additional funds on reopening the
SEQRA process he was voting for this motion, with the hope that all
involved will negotiate in good faith.
Mrs. Smith also voted for the Tri -Municipal alternate and was not
interested in voting for the new Wappinger Option, however since
this was the way the motion was, if she wanted Tri -Municipal she
would have to vote for the motion on the floor. For this reason she
voted for the motion.
Mr. Valdati was not satisfied with this motion with dual options
but since he was in favor of Tri -Municipal he voted on the motion.
Mrs. Paino cast her Aye vote.
MRS. PAINO moved to recess the meeting.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
The meeting reconvened at 10:20 P.M. and all five Board Members

A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
on September 19, 1988, at the Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Town of
Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York on a proposed Local Law Increasing
the Recreational Fees of the Town of Wappinger.
Supervisor Paino opened the Public Hearing at 6:55 P.M.
Present:
The
Irene Paino, Supervisor
Vincent Farina, Councilman
David Reis, Councilman
Constance Smith, Councilwoman:
Robert Valdati, Councilman
Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavits os Posting and
Publication duly signed and notarized. (These Affidavits are attached
hereto and made part thereof of the Minutes of this Hearing).
Mrs. Paino explained that the Recreation Commission had previously
recommended to the Town Board that the recreation fees in lieu of
land that was charged to developers be increased to $900.00 per lot.
The Town adopted a policy at that time that whenever practical the
Recreation Commission and the Planning Board take the land; however
there are situations when that it is not possible and in such cases
the Town agrees that $900.00 is comparable with the
neighboring towns.
Mr. Greggo, Ketchamtown Road, asked if everyone has
amounts of other
to do that or was
it for large developments of land. The Attorney explained that when
a person makes application to subdivide land, under State Law a
municipality can either require a percentage of the parcel being
subdivided to be set aside for recreation or they can require a sum
of money per lot to be deposited to a trust fund that the Town has
which is separate from its
trust fund is solely to be
or recreation. Mr. Greggo
operating budget and the purpose of the
used for a capital project related to parks
wanted to know if there was a certain number
of houses that had to be built for a person to pay $1,000 fee.
Mr. Farina explained that they are not interested in collecting a fee
but they are interested in receiving quality land. If he's talking
about 100 lots then he's talking about 100 acres based on current land
use. In that case the intent is to take 10 acres which is 10% of the
subdivision to be set aside for recreational use within that subdivision.
The monies that are taken from smaller subdivisions go into Parkland
Trust because it would make no sense to take it from a 10 acre subdivision.
1
These funds are managed by the Recreation Commission and they will
determine what programs will be made by the end of the year.
There were no other comments from the audience.
MR. VALDATI moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mr. Farina
and unanimously carried.
The Hearing closed at 7:03 P.M.

A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
on September 19, 1988, at the Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Town of
Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York, on a proposed Local Law
Regulating Traffic Within the Town of Wappinger
Supervisor Paino opened the Hearing at 7:15 P.M.
Present:
Irene Paino, Supervisor
Vincent Farina, Councilman
David Reis, Councilman
Constance Smith, Councilwoman
Robert Valdati, Councilman
Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavits of Posting and
Publication duly signed and notarized. (These Affidavits are attached
hereto and made part thereof of the Minutes of this Hearing).
This Local Law will require motorists to stop at the following
intersections:
Daley Road at its intersection with Maloney Road
Maloney Heights Road at its intersection with Maloney Road
Scott Road at its intersection with Doyle Drive
Doyle Drive at its intersection with Scott Drive
The southerly side of Scott Drive at its intersection with
Doyle Drive.
Mrs. Paino asked for comments from the public regarding this proposed
Local Law.
Richard Tallman, 22 Roberts Road, referred to a Public Hearing held
last year on a stop sign at the intersection of Fieldstone Boulevard
and Spook Hill Road. Since the Spring he has called Mr. Farina,
Supervisor Paino, Mrs. Snowden, who referred him to the Engineer who
returned his call that day and told him to contact the Town Highway
Superintendent to see what the status was on the installation of the
Stop Sign at that intersection since it was almost twelve months since
the public hearing and subsequent adoption of the Local Law Authorizing
the placement of this sign. He followed this suggestion but has not
been able to reach him at the times he was told to call. He told those
present at this Hearing who were interested in seeing these Stop Signs
installed, not to expect to see them for quite a while.
Mrs. Paino informed Mr. Tallman that she had researched to make sure
the Local Law he was talking about had been approved and it was; she
wrote reminders to the Highway Superintendent to place the Stop Signs
and he has evidently failed to do this. She asked the Town Clerk to
forward a letter to the Highway Superintendent reminding him that
the Law was put into place approximately twelve months ago and the
sign should be placed at that intersection immediately.
Mr. Farina commented that he canvassed the various streets mentioned
in this Local Law and the residents were in favor of the Stop Signs.
There were no other comments made by those present either for or
against the proposed Local Law.
MR. REIS moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mrs. Smith
and unanimously carried.
