The Meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
followed by a moment of silent prayer for the Town of Wappinger
and its residents.
Mrs. Paino welcomed two Boy Scouts from Troop #26 who were attending
this meeting to learn about their local government which was required
to earn a badge.
The Minutes of the March 16th, 1987 Regular Bimonthly Meeting,
having previously been forwarded to all Board Members, were now

the Town Clerk.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Petitions & Communications ---
A report was received from the Engineer regarding the Creek Road
Bridge Replacement Permanent Easement/Option. He had no problem
with the easement but recommended that if the County ever exercises
89
its option, that the area be described by metes and bounds and
monumented.
MR. FARINA moved to authorize the Supervisor to sign the option
with the County on the Creek Road Bridge Replacement, contingent
upon them providing the metes and bounds description.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
A Memo was received from the Zoning Administrator recommending that
a special inspection fee be set for the New Kingdom Hall being
constructed by the Jehovah's Witnesses on All Angels Hill Road.
The reason for this special fee is due to the fact that they plan
to complete the major portion of the construction on the weekend of
June 12th, 13th and 14th, 1987 and will require the services of
the Building Inspector and the Zoning Administrator on that weekend.
MRS. PAINO moved to forward a letter to Jehovah's Witnesses informing
them that a special inspection fee will be set at a later date and
they will be notified of the amount of the fee.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Egils Zarins, 6 Russell Road wrote to the Town Board requesting
that no building permit be issued for the property adjacent to his
until the drainage problem is corrected. He explained the potential
problem which he felt could be corrected if the Town installed a
storm drain system which he understood was proposed to the Town by
the Engineer to the Town. If the storm drain system was installed
or other corrective action was taken, he would have no objection to
a house being built on this lot. This correspondence was copied to
the Building Inspector, the Zoning Administrator and the Engineer
to the Town. Mr. Paggi reported that he had visited this site and
a report will be forthcoming; he agreed with Mr. Zarins that there
is a problem on that property.
MRS. PAINO moved to send a letter to Mr. Zarins informing him that
the pertinent agencies have been notified of this situation, the
Engineer concurs with his concern and corrective action will be
taken at such time when an application is submitted for that property.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried

The following Memo was received from the Planning Board regarding
Special Use Permits:
Date: March 12th, 1987
Subject: Special Use Permits
Re: Jennifer Van Tuyl's Memo of 2/20/87
Following a discussion at the March 9th, 1987 meeting of
the Planning Board, it was recommended that the Planning Board
handle a Special Use Permit which requires approval of a site
plan, and that the Zoning Board of Appeals would issue all
16, other Special Use Permits.
Mrs. Paino explained that the Town Board had a joint meeting with
the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning Board and both Chairmen
indicated they would like to streamline the process of issuing
Special Use Permits. It was agreed that by transferring some of
the authorization of Special Use Permits from the Zoning Board of
Appeals to the Planning Board, it would expedite the process.
The Attorney indicated that a resolution from the Town Board was
required to transfer authorization.
MR. Farina moved to authorize the Planning Board to process Special
Use Permits that require approval of a site plan and all other
applications for Special Use Permits will be processed by the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Seconded by: Mr. Reis
Roll Call Vote: 5 Nays 0 Ayes
Motion Defeated
Prior to the vote on this motion, Michael Hirkala, member of the
Zoning Board of Appeals was recognized by the Chair and stated that
the Town Board was way off base on this action. At a joint meeting
with the Chairmen of the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of
Appeals, the action that the Town Board was considering was not
agreed upon. There was a question on whether they should go that
way or whether there should be a change in the way these applications
were being handled. He felt the Zoning Administrator would agree
with him.
Mr. Hawksley, Chairman of the Planning Board differed with these
comments and noted that at the meeting Mr. Hirkala was referring to
the agreement was that if a site plan was submitted to the Planning
Board, they would do site plan review and forward it to the ZBA
with their recommendation relating to the Special Use Permit and let
the ZBA issue the permit. The motion that the Town Board is considering
91
came about as a result of the joint meeting between the ZBA and
the Planning Board at which time there was a discussion on_iightening
the work load and streamline the procedure. At that meeting, it was
agreed this was the best way to do it and the memo was sent to the
Town Board with the recommendation. He felt it was now up to the
Town Board to decide which way they should go.
Mr. Hirkala countered that the problem is not by whom these permits
should be issued, but rather the procedures they have been following
in the past. The applicant feels that he goes back and forth like
a yo-yo between the two boards. It was his understanding that the
procedure would be changed so that the normal review and site plan
would be combined and it would then go tv the ZBA prior to final
approval and site plan.
Mr. Hawksley had no objection or concern as to where the authority
rests to grant the Special Use Permits as long as it streamlines the
process of approving or disapproving it. As far as the legalities
go it is legal for either Board to grant these permits or even to
split it between the two Boards, it is strictly a local preference.
Mrs. Paino noted that the memo from Attorney on this matter was
exactly as Mr. Hawksley had said ---it is legal for one Board or
either Board to issue the permits and our neighboring towns vary
their procedures.
During the discussion that followed, it was evident that further
review was needed to determine the procedure they would follow;
the roll call vote was taken and the Board Members all voted against
this motion for the purpose of further discussion with the Zoning
Board of Appeals, the Planning Board and the Zoning Administrator.
A late communication was received from the Zoning Administrator
requesting permission to attend the New York State Land Use Seminar
on April 10, 1987, at no expense to the Town.
MR. FARINA moved to approve the request from the Zoning Administrator
to attend the Seminar on April 10, 1987.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti

Committee Reports ---
Mr. Valdati, Library Committee, reported that he had contacted
Mrs. Bell of the Grinnell Library in order to establish a rapport
with the Town Board. In order to publicize the Library, she has
requested that we post a directional sign within the Town and close
to the Village boundaries. Mr. Croshier suggested that this sign
be placecion Route 9D. Mrs. Bell would also like the Town to provide
the Library with material on major public works being considered by
the Town such as the "Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan". It was
his recommendation that we contact Mrs. Bell informing her of such
projects and providing her with the material that would be of
interest to the community.
Neither Mr. Reis nor Mr. Farina had reports for this meeting.
Mrs. Visconti reported on the Special Advisory Task Force relating
to the Dutchess County Airport, to which she and Donald McMillen
had recently been appointed. At a recent meeting they discussed
the subjects they will be addressing which included a long term
policy for the airport, its purpose, the master plan and safety
issues. The next meeting will be Thursday, April 16, 1987.
Mrs. Paino recognized three Wappinger County Legislators and invited
them to report on County activities.
Don McMillen reported that a resolution will be before the Legislature
authorizing the Parks Commissioner to apply to New York State for a
grant to finance a proposed marina at Bowdoin Park. This is in the
master plan, however, Mr. McMillen does not feel they are ready to
apply for these funds at the present time. There is no access to a
marina ---they would have to construct a bridge over Conrail lines
and a road down to it, then there's a parking problem. This requires
more study prior to applying for funds. The second resolution relates
to sponsoring a study for a swimming pool; the Town of Poughkeepsie
was considering buying the Alpha -Laval property and if this materialized,
the County proposed the possibility of constructing a swimming pool
in the manufacturing section of Alpha -Laval building, however, a
news release on Friday stated that the Town of Poughkeepsie is not
interested in the property, so this resolution will no doubt, be
voted down. Other resolutions included purchasing permanent easements
relating to construction of bridge at Creek Rd.; the purchase of 65
acres at Hudson River Psychiatric Center, price of $230,000, one half
93
of which will be paid by the state and considering plans to move
day care center to that location to help the college student parents;
resolution on adoption of directions on new master plan will probably
not be passed at the April meeting as there are several pages to
review. The final item Mr. McMillen reported on was dog license
fees from the County to the Town of Wappinger in the amount of
$1,452.00.
Roger Higgins was recognized and stated that he came to the meeting
mainly to speak on garbage, however he did have some comments on
the marina and swimming pools. What concerned him was that the master
plan included a marina and four swimming pools but everytime these
items came up, they found an excuse not to spend the money or to put
them in a different location. The marina will cost close to three
million dollars and will be matched 50-50 with the State. It's a
lot of money but a few years down the road the 50% may not be avail-
able and if the County wanted to undertake such a project, they would
be stuck with the full shot. There are very few places to keep a boat
on the Hudson River and very little access to the River and this
Marina would open up access for the whole County. Mr. Higgins was
not in favor of the location of the Alpha -Laval property for a
swimming pool, but that won't happen now. There are very few
swimming facilities in Southern Dutchess and since the master plan
includes swimming pools, they should spend the $11,000 for a study
and locate it at Bowdoin Park; this would be ideal for the residents
of Southern Dutchess.
Mr. Higgins then addressed the garbage situation and reported that
he had taken a ride on Creek Road to the Reese property and noted
that the location was still being used as a landfill. On New Years
Eve Day he spoke to Mr. Valdati about the dumping on Creek Road,
on February 26, 1987 he wrote to Supervisor Paino regarding the
illegal dumping at the Reese Park site and on March 18, 1987 he
spoke to Mr. Valdati again. As of this date, the situation is
twice as bad and when it is cleaned, it will take two or three dump
truck loads to clear the area. He added that the longer it stays
there the more it will collect.
Mr. Valdati agreed with the facts presented by Mr. Higgins and
noted that one of his first functions as Councilman was to address
the situation of the illegal dumping at Creek Road and the Reese
94
Park property. He had also contacted Mr. Croshier at his home and
requested that he clear this property. At that time the trucks
could not enter the area due to the accumulation of snow, but he
intended to remove all the debris as soon as it was passable.
Mr. Valdati mentioned that Old Route 9 and Middlebush Road was
getting its share of dumping and requested Mr. Croshier to clear
that area also. Mr. Croshier commented that the County and State
should do their share and clean their roads.
Mrs. Paino commented that no one wants to see dumping in their
area and if it is a Town Road, our Highway Superintendent takes
care of it. Since the County Legislators were present Mrs. Paino
asked that they prevail upon Commissioner Spratt to clean up the
County roads. It was also recommended that they contact the New
York State Department of Transportation to clean the state roads.

Unfinished Business ---
A response was received from Mr. Ponte, Assistant Superintendent

Junior High School where they were previously parked. Mr. Ponte
informed the Board that he has forwarded our correspondence to the
newly appointed Superintendent of Schools, Dodge Watkins, and the
r Board of Education for their review and consideration.
Mrs. Visconti, Councilwoman for the Fourth Ward who initiated this
request, noted that she would put this matter on hold for another
two weeks and if no further response was received from the Superin-
tendent, she would pursue the matter further.
Commissioner James Spratt responded to our request for guard rails
at 32 Middlebush Road as follows:

Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
Town of Wappinger
20 Middlebush Road
P.O. Box 324
Wappingers Falls, NY 12590-0324
Re: Guard Rail for Middlebush Road, County Road #93
Dear Elaine:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated March
4th wherein you requested the erection of a guard rail at 32
Middlebush Road. Please be advised that this Department is very
knowledgeable of the conditions along Middlebush Road in that
area. We have seen no reason to erect a guard rail to protect
the motorists from leaving the highway and endangering themselves
by either a high embankment or some other physical obstruction
along that section of highways.
I am sorry I can not erect guard rails to protect the
property of adjoining property owners to the highway. This has
been negated by the libelous position that obstruction along
highways has gained through court actions. If we erect guard
rails that are unwarranted along a County road, and a vehicle
hits this and a person is injured, we are sued because the guard
rail was improperly placed. Based on this simple statement of
fact, it is imperative that we do not put guard rails up along a
highway unless we protect and redirect people back on to the
highway so they do not crash down an embankment or into bridge
abutments, etc.
I am sorry I can not be helpful in this matter. I know it
leaves the people at 32 Middlebush Road in a position of feeling
unprotected. However, .the law, as established in court cases,
has put us on the defensive in this matter and we can not risk
the liability of the County by putting up guard rails under the
circumstances you have outlined in your letter.
Very truly yours,
s/ James Spratt, P.E.

Mrs. Paino requested that a copy of this correspondence be forwarded
to the residents at 32 Middlebush Road.
Mr. Farina noted that after the Town accepted the roads in the Pondview
Subdivision last fall, several residents requested that Stop signs be
placed at various locations in that area. He had forwarded this
correspondence to the Engineer and the Highway Superintendent for
their recommendations. They have approved nine locations and in order
to proceed with the placement of these signs, a Local Law will be
required.
MR. FARINA moved to authorize the Attorney to prepare a Local Law
for the placement of Stop signs at various locations in the Pondview
Subdivision, as recommended by the Engineer and Highway Superintendent.

New Business ---
Due to recent tragedies in various communities, Mr. Valdati contacted
Mr. Thomas Connolly, Special Coordinator of Guidance Operations in
the Wappinger School System, to help organize a special presentation
for Town residents dealing with suicides and related problems. The
media has succeeded in alerting parents of these situations, but
instructions and ways of understanding are needed. He hopes to
set up a meeting in the very near future with Mr. Connolly and both
he and the Supervisor are working on this matter.
Mrs. Visconti, as a resident of the Fourth Ward, noted that they do
not have cablevision in that Ward. The chances of getting this
service seemed very remote until she read an article in the newspaper
indicating that Dutchess County Cablevision will soon be sold and
the other two cable companies, Poughkeepsie Cablevision and U. S.
Cablevision have agreed to serve parts of LaGrange which is considered
to be "no man's land".
MRS. VISCONTI moved to send a letter to Howard Erichsen, Regional
Manager of U. S. Cablevision, requesting that they consider the
feasibility of servicing some areas in the Town of Wappinger while
they are doing this project in LaGrange.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Farina requested that a copy of this letter be forwarded to
Charles Cortellino, Chairman of the Town's Cable Committee.
In response to a press release put in the local papers by the
Conservation Advisory Council in the hopes of interesting residents
to join this Council, a young resident who was both interested and
qualified presented himself to the Supervisor.
The following Resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR PAINO who moved
its adoption:
RESOLVED, that Matthew Landi, be and he is hereby appointed
as a member of the Town of Wappinger Conservation Advisory Council

A Public HEaring was held by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger

Dutchess County, New York, on Various Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance,
including (Satellite Dish Antennas).

The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavits of Posting
and Publication. (These Affidavits are attached hereto and made
part thereof of the Minutes of this Hearing).
Mrs. Paino explained that Amendments #2,3,4,5,6 were regular
housekeeping changes, however Amendment #1 on Satellite
Antennas is a new concept to be considered.
Michael Mirsky, 25 Bell -Aire Lane, purchased a 10i foot satellite
dish back in October and asked Hans Gunderud, former Zoning
Administrator what would be requiiedfor him to place the satellite
dish on his roof before he purchased it and was told by Mr. Gunderud
that he would need a building permit. After he bought the roof
mount and dish he applied for a building permit and it was denied.
He had questions ---he has driven around Wappinger and noticed other
dishes mounted in residential areas, located in the front yards,
located above the 13 foot height and he's wondering what happens
