Joseph Ruggiero Reference: Wappinger Site Planning Roundtable December 8, 2005 Meeting and Presentation TOWN CLERK Dear Supervisor Ruggiero: Last night I attended the above referenced meeting and presentation. In addition to the roundtable members, Tanya Lukianoff of the Town Building & Zoning Department was also at the meeting representing the Town. The meeting began with a presentation by Bruce Morton, Project Manager of the Jordan Cove Urban Watershed Project. The Jordan Cove Project is a subdivision in Connecticut that was designed specifically to use as many of the stormwater treatment "Best Management Practices" as possible. The Jordan Cove subdivision was then studied for 10 years along with nearby conventional subdivisions for comparison. Results seen at Jordan Cove exceeded expectations and confirmed the effectiveness of the management practices that were implemented. The remainder of the meeting was spent reviewing and discussing the recommendations of the "Residential Streets & Lots" Roundtable subcommittee. There was significant discussion about some of the findings and it was decided to have another meeting in January to discuss the recommendations of the "Natural Areas" Roundtable subcommittee. Lastly, there is a meeting scheduled for January 18,2006 to discuss the experiences of both the Towns of Clinton and Wappinger during the roundtable process. At this meeting, the roundtable groups from each Town will formalize their recommendations for their Town Boards. A discussion about how this roundtable process could be implemented in other Towns is also planned. If you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Very truly yours, ~f~ Junior Design Engineer JES:js Enclosure cc: Ron. John C. Masterson Ron. Graham Foster Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. Ernst Martin, Jr., P.E., L.S. Charles R. Del Bene, Jr., P.E.
