ADJOURNMENT The Regular Bimonthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on March 5th, 1984 at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York. Supervisor Versace opened the meeting at 8:03 P.M. Present: Frank Versace, Supervisor Renata Ballard, Councilwoman Joseph Incoronato, Councilman Gerard McCluskey, Councilman Irene Paino, Councilwoman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: Bernard Kessler, Attorney Ronald Evangelista, Engineer Kenneth Croshier, Highway Superintendent Mr. Versace started the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 21st, 1984, having previously been sent to all Board Members, were now placed before the Board for their consideration. Mrs. Paino noted that the resolution regarding the requirements of revenue sharing for handicapped was offered by her and seconded by Mrs. Ballard; the minutes indicated that it was also seconded by Mrs. Paino. MRS. PAINO moved that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 21st, 1984, be and they are hereby approved, as corrected, as submitted by the Town Clerk. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried The Supervisor's Report was received for January and February and the Supervisors Annual Financial Report for 1983. MRS. PAINO moved to accept these reports and place them on file. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A verbal request was received from the Village of Wappingers Falls for the use of four of th$,Town's voting machines for March 20th, 1984. MR. INCORONATO moved to grant permission to the Village of Wappingers Falls to use four of the Town's voting machines for their election on March 20th, 1984. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried A rezoning request was received from Margaret Maher (B.S.M. Realty) on Old Route 9 in the Town of Wappinger for a portion of their property presently zoned residential to commercial which, if approved would result in the entire parcel being zoned commercial. The parcel in question is in the area of the Town Highway Department on Old Route 9. Mrs. Maher enclosed a small sketch of the property and surrounding area. MRS. PAINO moved to refer this rezoning request to the Planning Board for their review and recommendation to the Town Board. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Versace clarified this action and stated that by this referral to the Planning Board it does not indicate that the Town Board is considering the rezoning; they will wait for the Planning Board's input and they will then review the matter. Mr. McCluskey requested that a larger map of the area be submitted by the applicant and was concerned if the metes and bounds were correct. Mr. Versace replied that they were looking into enlarging the present zoning map for the Town and when the applicant appears before the Planning Board he will have to present more information than what he has submitted to the Town Board. Mr. Verace requested that a letter be directed to Mrs. Maher informing her of the proper procedures to follow for the Planning Board agenda. A request was received from the Planning Board suggesting a change in the wording of the Zoning Ordinance re Section 421, Note e which reads "frontyard setbacks on county and state roads shall be a minimum of 75 feet". The Board preferred that the word "frontyard" be omitted since the developers were changing the 3 direction that the structure faces to avoid the 75 foot require- ment. They pointed out that amending the Ordinance to read "setback" would alleviate this problem. MR. VERSACE moved to request the_Attorney to prepare the proper Ordinance for the Board to set a public hearing. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A Notice of Public Hearing was received from the Town of Poughkeepsie to consider an amendment to their Zoning Ordinance. MR. INCORONATO moved to receive this communication and place it on file. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried A notification of 35 MPH on Old State Road was received from Mr. Spratt, Commissioner of Dutchess County Department of Public Works, which was requested by the Town Board in July of 1982. The area had alraady been posted by the Highway Department and Mr. Incoronato thanked Mr. Croshier on behalf of Mrs. Tullis (resident of that area who had submitted the petition to lower the speed limit) and the Town Board. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to receive this notification and place it on file. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried Committee Reports ---Mrs. Ballard, Election Committee, reported that she had written to four potential organizations for the use of their facilities as Town Polling Places K of C on Route 82, Immanuel Christian Reformed Church on Myers Corners Road, Community Baptist Church on All Angels Hill Road and the Twin Lakes Sportsman Club on St. Nicholas Road. These locations were chosen since they meet the requirements of ample parking, availibility of a phone and handicapped facilities. The K of C responded that they would be willing to have one, perhaps two districts in their building. Mrs. Ballard felt this would be a good location for Ward 2, District 5, currently voting in Myers Elementary School. She would report on any further responses at the next meeting. Recreation Committee --Mrs. Ballard reported that Bob Blose, Recreation Director is working on setting up a program for Senior Citizens Swimming facilites. He informed Mrs. Ballard that a concert is planned for Sunday, March llth, 1984 from 3 to 4:30 P.M. at the Wappingers Junior High School by the Canterbury Brass Quintet, everyone is invited. Two concerts by the Dutchess Community College, Bank have been set for the summer months at Schlathaus Park, dates to be announced at a future time. Mrs. Paino, Landfill Committee --reported that she had forwarded a map of the Castle Point area to the Engineer to the Town which he required for the application to Dutchess County Department of Health and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to reopen the landfill at that location. He has been requested to expedite this application so the Town Board can make arrangements with Ken Croshier for a Spring Pickup. Mrs. Paino, Personnel Committee, reported on discussion held at the February 23, 1984 work shop session, with Amelia Crosby, Comptroller and Pamela Farnsworth, Zoning Administrator regarding suggested changes in the Town employee policy relating to vacation, sick time and maternity; no final decisions were made and discussion will continue at the March 22nd, 1984 work shop meeting. Mr. Incoronato, Highway Committee, referred to a memo received from the Zoning Administrator on tractor -trailer parking as follows: "There have been recent complaints and concerns about the parking of a tractor -trailer truck on New Hackensack Road. I have been in contact with the Sheriff's office on this problem and have learned that neither the Department of Motor Vehicles code, New York State nor our ordinances restrict this problem beyond the snow ordinance. Perhaps research is needed to consider a regulation that defines suitable and unsuitable locations for parking truck rigs of certain sizes". MR. INCORONATO moved that this matter be referred to Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Public Safety Committee and the Attorney to the Town for their review and recommendation. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Versace introduced Sandra Goldberg, Wappinger County Legislator and asked Mrs. Goldberg if she had a report on County activities. %kw Mrs. Goldberg replied that she had nothing to report at this time. The following memo was received from Amelia Crosby, Comptroller: At the end of the tax collection period for 1983 the Tax Receiver had unidentifiable monies remaining in the Tax Receiver account, $4,535.67. These were turned over to the Supervisor for deposit to the Assurity account with the following information: $4,260.70 235.02 39.95 School Taxes Realty Taxes Other We have now identified some of these monies as paid school taxes which were returned as unpaid and relevied with penalty.

The following resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN PAINO who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, there were unidentifiable monies paid to the Supervisor's Assurity account for the tax collecting period of 1983 and WHEREAS, some of these monies have now been identified, and WHEREAS, these identified monies should be paid to the Tax Receiver for credit to the proper properties, NOW, BE IT RESOLVED that the $ 832.99 for D.

Seconded by: Councilwoman Ballard Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays 1 T he following resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN BALLARD who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the Dutchess County Health Department has forwarded correspondence concerning mandatory Health Department approval for two -lot subdivisions, and WHEREAS, the Engineer to the Town has reviewed the correspon- dence and recommends approval of the recommendation of the Dutchess County Health Department, and WHEREAS, the Engineer to the Town has advised the Town Board that there would be benefits derived to the Town with respect to possible sewerage system failures, costs, protection for new home owners and their neighbors, and would assist in the proper location of wells and sewerage disposal systems and a secondary benefit would be to the developer or builder since such person or persons would incur less liability upon installation of a Dutchess County Health Department system, and WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger has deliberated upon this matter, NOW, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger requests that the attorney to the Town be directed to take whatever steps may be necessary to include in the subdivision regulations such paragraphs as may be necessary to carry out this resolution which would require the Town Planning Board to have all applicants obtain Dutchess County Health Department approval of two lots or more subdivisions within the Town as opposed to the non -jurisdictional stamp that has been previously utilized by the Health Department, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Town of Wappinger Planning Board be advised of this resolution and prior to its amendment be in communication with the attorney to the Town, if they so desire, for any additional input in this matter. Seconded by: Councilwoman Paino Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Bids were received for the second time on the sale of the two Town owned cars. The high bid for the 1978 Concord was from James Dunckley for the amount of $555.00; no bid was received for the Hornet the second time. Mrs. Crosby contacted Mr. Van Buren who bid $90.00 for the Hornet the first time and he was receptive to taking the 1975 Hornet at the $90.00 figure. His was the only bid received for the Hornet. Mrs. Crosby recommended that the bid for the 1978 Concord be awarded to Mr. Dunckley for $555.00 and the bid for the 1975 Hornet be awarded to Mr. Van Buren for $90.00. Mr. McCluskey questioned the legality of accepting Mr. Van Buren's bid since the Board had rejected the first bids; the Attorney advised the Board to revoke the rejection of the first bids in view of the fact that Mr. Van Buren was interested in acquiring this vehicle. n MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to revoke the rejection of the first bid on the Town Vehicles. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to award the bid for the 1978 Concord to James Dunckley in the amount of $555.00, and the bid for the 1975 Hornet be awarded to Mr. Van Buren in the amount of $90.00. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried At the last meeting it was brought to the attention of the Town Board that the gate at the Scenic Garden Apartments on New Hackensack Road has been open for some time. The Zoning Admis- trator researched the matter and informed the Board that a County Highway permit indicated that the gate was for emergency access only. It would appear that enforcement of this requirement would be within their purview. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to inform the County that the gate was being left open and they take the proper legal means to close the gate. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Sandra Goldberg, Wappinger County Legislator, was recognized by the Chair, asked what are the pros and cons on closing the gate; she pointed out that the residents of the complex have a difficult time exiting on to Route 9 and in bad weather it is treacherous --why the opposition. Mr. McCluskey responded that it provides access for drivers on New Hackensack Road to cut through to Route 9 and avoid the traffic %✓ light and being on a curve it was a dangerous location for an entrance or an exit. On the other side, when it is icy it is very difficult to exit or enter the apartments on Route 9 and another factor is that the hill is very narrow for emergency vehicles going in or out of that complex. His intent was to notify the County that the gate has been left open, then it's up to them if they want to enforce their original requirement. Mrs. Ballard added that back in 1967 when she lived in Scenic Apartments it was difficult to exit on to Route 9; it became more difficult each year and it is now an impossibility. She recommended that the Board discuss this matter with Mr. Spratt, Commissioner of Dutchess County Department of Public Works when he attends their March 15, 1984 work shop meeting and see what he recommends to alleviate this problem for the residents of the apartment complex. When construction starts on Route 9, Mrs. Ballard added, this will be a worse problem. Mr. McCluskey referred to a meeting held in January of 1983 at the County Building with the County Executive and state, county and federal officials regarding road repairs in the area. At that time one of the state officials stated that a traffic light would be installed at Route 9 and Mesier Avenue, North (opposite Scenic Apt. on Rt. 9) at the time the reconstruction takes place; Mr. McCluskey asked why the light couldn't be put in prior to con- struction and was told that suggestion seemed reasonable and he would contact the Town Board. This was not followed through, however, Mr. McCluskey felt they should pursue this matter. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to direct a letter to the New York State Depart- ment of Transportation requesting that they install a traffic light at Route 9 and Mesier Avenue North as soon as possible. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A report was received from the Engineer on the Vrooman Drainage; Ronald Evangelista was present and reiterated the contents of this report; he had contacted Mr. Lapar to review files on the Scofield Subdivision concerning the Scofield -Perkins agreements. Mr. Lapar was not available for discussion and Mr. Evangelista said he will keep trying to contact Mr. Lapar and report further to the Board. MR. INCORONATO moved to table this matter until further information is received from the Engineer. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried The second report from the Engineer referenced the Cranberry Hills Development, Sewer Hook-up and Mr. Evangelista referred to his memorandum of Febryary 16th, 1984 which stated that they felt that the sewer connection is the responsibility of the developer (DWS Holdings, Inc.) and this was referred to the Attorney for his review. Mr. Kessler reported that this matter was still in litigation and a meeting had been set up for the next day with a representative from D.W.S.; he would have further infor- mation to give the Board after this meeting. The third report from the Engineer related to Nelson Gonzalez, Drainage District and included a cost estimate and a map. Three alternates were suggested, No. 1 for an off site drainage district, approximate cost $68,860.00, No. 2 which would improve Mr. Gonzalez's property only, and No. 3 which would help Mr. Gonzalez and five or six of his neighbors. A cost estimate on Alternate No. 2 was $2,530. and on No. 3, $30,650.00. Mr. Evangelista had informed Mr. Gonzalez at their February 26th, 1984 meeting that he would forward this information to him after it was presented to the Town Board. MRS. BALLARD moved to authorize the Engineer to the Town to forward the report with cost estimate and map to Mr. Gonzalez for review and discussion with his neighbors and inform him the Town Board will meet with them when they have determined which course of action they would like to pursue. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried The following Petition for the Establishment of Kendell Farms Conservation Park District was received from James Klein: Petition for the Establishontt of Kendell Farms Conservation Park District in the Town of Wappinger Dutchess County, New York To the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger: The undersigned, being the sole owner of taxable real property situate in the proposed Conservation Park District hereinafter described, and owning all of the assessed valuation of all the taxable real property of said proposed district, as shown upon the latest completed assessment roll of said town, does hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger to establish a conservation park district in the territory herein- after described, which is located in the Town of Wappinger, County of Dutchess and State of New York, outside of any incorporated Village and wholly within the said Town of Wappinger and which proposed district to be known as Kendell Farms Conserva- tion Park District is more fully described on the annexed schedule.

Seconded by: Councilwoman Ballard Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays )1 The Attorney noted that a new Schedule "A" description had been submitted to him and he requested that the Engineer compare it with the one originally filed. MR. VERSACE moved that the Engineer review the new description with the filed map and notify the Town Board if there are any changes. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from the Attorney regarding the stream cleaning agreement with the County on Myers Corners Road near Losee Road. Mr. Kessler informed the Board that he had been in touch with the County Attorney's office in this matter and spoke to John Garrity, Assistant County Attorney, newly appointed to this position and not familiar with the pending project. He intended to review it with Mr. Anagnos, County Director of Highway Engineering, and get back to Mr. Kessler concerning the proposed agreement. Since the Board planned a work shop with Mr. Spratt on the 15th of March, Mr. Kessler asked Mr. Garrity to contact him prior to that date so the project could be discussed at that work shop meeting. MR. INCORONATO.moved to table this matter for further information from the Attorney. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Kessler reported on the Notice of Claim filed under Section 58 of the General Municipal Law by Rudolph E. Lapar, former Engineer to the Town served on the Town Clerk on February 21st, 1984 and referred to the Attorney.at_the last meeting for necessary action. Since Mr. Lapar had elected to make the Notice of Claim under General Municipal Law, Mr. Kessler served a Notice of Deposition on Mr. Lapar's Attorney and requested that documentation to back up his claim be submitted within thirty days. If Mr. Lapar does not appear for the deposition, the Town Board can take no further steps except to wait for the service of Summons of Complaint from Mr. Lapar if he chooses to pursue the matter in this manner. As to access to the past Engineer's maps, records, etc. Mr. Kessler 1 reported that he had received a list of the documents they feel are Town property and he had forwarded a letter to Mr. Lapar last week requesting that he produce thes records. No response has been received to this date. A request to rezone a parcel of property on the west side of All Angels Road from from B/D Contracting MR. INCORONATO moved for their review and R-40 to General Business had been received Company. to refer this request to the Planning Board recommendation to the Town Board. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried A response was received from Ben Ciccone regarding his bid on Wappinger Sewer Improvement #1, Contract #1 - Extension #5, stating that he would be receptive to holding his bid price until May 1, 1984. Anticipated labor and material increases prohibited thmm from holding the price longer than that date, however, if the Town is willing to absorb additional costs, they would extend that date further. MR. VERSACE moved to direct a letter to Ben Ciccone stating that the Town Board appreciates his offer but in they have no idea what the added costs will prepared at this time to apply to Audit and funding for the WSI#1, Contract #5 project, will have to be rejected in their entirety. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard view of the be and they Control for all bids on fact that are not additional the project Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter was received froM Mc;. Diehl: Att: Town Clerk Mrs. Elaine Snowden Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. In 1983, I Versace, that a year ending Dec stated that the administrators, March 1, 1984 stated and supported, in writing to Supervisor complete audit of "Town's Financial Condition" . 31, 1983. The out -going Board (Town) further cost should be paid by the 1983 out -going and it was so done. I have read in the "Southern Dutchess News", that this audit 1 has been completed by "Sedore & O'Sullivan" C.P.A's. As of today I have not received a copy of this "Document", and I believe no 1983 Town Board member has been advised of its completion; nor has been received a copy of said audit. I request Supervisor Versace to initiate and provide copies to the full 1983 Town Board, in the spirit of "how and why" the audit was ordered, and paid for with money from the 1983 Town Budget by "1983 Town Board". s/ Lou Diehl Mr. Versace clarified some of Mr. Diehl's statements ---the Year End Report is done every year by the CPA and then submitted to Audit and Control; this is a normal procedure. The Supervisor's Report is also done each year. The funds Mr. Diehl spoke of belong to the taxpayers, not the outgoing administration. The Year End Report is on file in the Town Clerk's Office and the Supervisor's Office and available to any resident of the Town who wishes to review it. There is no law that states that an outgoing official has the availibility of a free copy. Mr. Diehl is welcome to review this report in either office where it is on file. The Strvisor's Report which is normally received by March 1st of the following year of the closing of the books has not been received but is expected by the end of March. MR. VERSACE moved to receive Mr. Diehl's letter and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Paino received a letter from the Highway Superintendent recommending that Stop Signs be installed at the following intersections: Nancyaleen Drive and Spook Hill Road Mina Drive and Spook Hill Road Aladdin Court and Losee Road Bell -Air Lane and Aladdin Court Orange Court and Bell -Air Lane and Mr. Croshier noted that an ordinance was required for the posting of these signs. MRS. PAINO moved to authorize the Attorney to draw up the necessary Local Law for the installation of the Stop Signs as recommended by the Hightaay Superintendent. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried MR. INCORONATO moved to authorize the Engineer to prepare bids and specs for the improvement of facilities at Robinson Lane for the handicapped, to be funded through the Dutchess County Consortium Program. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Croshier requested the Board to make arrangements with the Vandalism Patrol to patrol the Castle Point Landfill Site more frequently on weekends since he observed that people were dumping outside the gate. Mr. Versace noted that a one day conference would be conducted in Albany, New York on March 22, 1984 on subjects relating to cashflow forecasting, capital planning, cash management, etc. which he felt would be beneficial to the Comptroller, Amelia Crosby and the Clerk to the Comptroller, Melva Laffin. MR. VERSACE moved to grant permission to Amelia Crosby and Melva Laffin to attend the one day conference at Albany, New York on March 22nd, 1984. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Paino spoke to the Board on a request from Deputy Sheriff Carl Amburgey to place a sign at the foot of the hill at the Highway Department indicating the location of the Sheriff Sub- station. She indicated to him that the maximum size of the sign could not exceed twenty-five square feet and the Zoning Administra- tor said the sign could be placed the same distance from the road as the Highway Department sign is placed. MRS. PAINO moved to grant permission to Deputy Sheriff Carl Amburgey to place a sign at the Highway Department to identify the location of the Sheriff Substation subject to the conditions stated above. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Kessler wished to discuss the matter of CWWIA and referred to a Map, Plan and Report filed by the former Engineer to the Town in July of 1983 on the extension of Contract #1 which would provide water to the unserviced areas of that district at an estimated cost of $202,000.00. It is necessary to apply to the Department of Audit and Control for this additional bonding and he is preparing the necessary documents for the application and will need the coopera- tion of the Town Clerk, the Assessor and the Comptroller to provide certain documents. He was concerned that the estimated cost figure quoted at that time might not be sufficient to cover the cost of the project now. Mr. Versace explained that the project was approved and completed in 1983 before additional bonding was obtained and monies were taken from CWWIA to pay for the project, now they must be replaced. He requested the Attorney to proceed with the application to Audit and Control for this additional bonding for CWWIA Extension of Contract #1. There was no other business to come before the Board. MR. INCORONATO moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mrs. Ballard and unanimously carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:40 P.M. Reg. Mtg. 3/14/84 Elaine H. Snowden Town Clerk
