Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Milts noticed that residents of the Rockingham area were
present and requested that this matter be discussed before going
on with the regular agenda. She was aware of their complaints
since she had spoken with Alberta Roe, Regency Drive, previously,
concerning these problems and she informed them that she had a
resolution prepared authorizing the necessary corrective work for
consideration by the Board. She asked the residents if they
wished to speak before the Board voted on the resolution; the
residents preferred that. the, resolution be read so they would
know exactly what was being done.
The following resolution was moved by COUNCILWOMAN MILLS:
I move that we (Councilwoman Mills and Councilman Versace)
declare that an emergency exists as defined by General Municipal
Law Section 103 Subdivision 4, and that because of such emergency,
immediate action is required which cannot await competitive bidding.
I further move that the Comptroller be authorized to purchase the
parts necessary to undertake the necessary corrective work and
that he be aut horized to retain Camo Pollution Control to
undertake the necessary work to remove the emergency condition.
Seconded by: Councilman Johnson
Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays
Mrs. Mills explained that the emergency condition was a per-
sistent
odor from the plant which the residents had complained of.
Up to now, monies were not available in the district to take this
corrective action., ,however:, the' Comptroller had informed them that
0 & M money had been received.frorthe state and this would enable
them to authorize the necessary work. She asked the residents if
they had any comments to add,to the problem they had complained of.
Mrs. Alberta Roe, Regency Drive, asked exactly what they planned
'to do and when. She had spoken to representatives from Camo and
had been told that the sewer plant was adequate in dry weather ---
since the Town planned to do this work, why not correct this
situation and make it adequate fcr all weather.
Mr. Versace explained that in addition to the corrective work which
would be authorized tonight, the Board was allowing a new developer
to tie into the sewer system conditional upon him working on the
infiltration problem that existed.
Mr. McCluskey added to the discussion by informing the residents
that Mr. Tremper from Camo Pollution had stated that the system was
not getting enough oxygen and that was one of the reasons for the
odor.
Another resident, later identified as Mary Schaub, 23 Regency Drive
complained about an open pipe running into and polluting Sprout Creek
with raw sewage and although it had been reported to all involved
agencies, nothing had been done about it.

Mr. Johnson interjected his comments on this complaint and informed
them that they were aware of this condition occurring in the wet
weather, however, the Town had a contract for sludge removal which
should correct the situation; Mrs. Schaub insisted that the raw
sewage was there at all times whether it was dry or wet and Mr.
Johnson asked the Engineer to check it out. The residents then
asked who had this contract and when the Board informed them it
was Lafko Associates, they claimed that M & 0 Sanitation trucks
had been seen on more than one occasion both pumping arid dumping.
Ron Lafko was present and stated that about two months ago he had
used this company as a sub -contractor since he was overloaded, but
if they had witnessed the trucks there recently, it was not at his
direction. Mr. Johnson asked these residents if they could identify
the trucks by license number and note the day and time when they
were seen, if possible, it would help them to check it out. Mr.
Lafko was requested to investigate this matter also.
At this point a vote was taken on the resolution for the corrective
work at the Rockingham Sewer Plant and discussion continued when
the residents brought up other complaints. Mrs. Roe wanted some
assurance from the Board that the plant could handle additional
hook-ups. Mr. Johnson informed her that approval had been received
from both the County and the State Health Department for the new
development to become tenants to the Rockingham District and
further explained that the developer would have to remove the
infiltration before they hooked into the system; they would be
paying double rates which would help the finances of the district.
Mrs. Roe continued with the discussion and objected to these addi-
tional hook-ups since the plant did not have the capacity and the
other residents concurred with her. Mr. Diehl assured them that
all items that were brought up by them would be checked out by
the proper agencies. He then proceeded with Petitions and Communi-
cations on the Agenda.
Mr. Frank Patterson, 8 Baldwin Drive, had written to the Board
regarding a drainage pipe problem and was present to discuss the
matter with the Board. He claimed that the Highway Department
installed a pipe in the backyards of 6, 8 and 10 Baldwin Drive
which had created a dam effect since no provision had been made
for drainage. It was a definite health problem and also dangerous
for the children in the area; it was a year round situation and
he did not feel that he should have to put up with it since he
was paying taxes on property he couldn't use.
Mr. Johnson noted that this matter had been referred to the Engineer
and the following report was received:
Memo To:
Date:
Re:
From:
Louis D. Diehl
July 9, 1982
Letter from Frank Patterson
8 Baldwin Drive
Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E.
On July 6, 1982, the residence of Frank Patterson was visited
by Ken Croshier, myself and members of our staff.
The results of our investigation was that the residences at #6,
#8 and #10 Baldwin Drive could either fill in their backyards,
or possibly be allowed to discharge under the pipe to the natural
water course.
It is my recollection that the Builder had received the right to
discharge waters across lands of Sailer (the Development behind
lots #6, #8 and #10 Baldwin Drive).
Certainly these alternatives could have been done by the builder
but now appears to fall on the responsibility of the individual
homeowner.
Tying directly into the pipe does not seem feasible since it
appears (subject to field survey) to be higher than ground
elevation.
A discussion followed between Mr. Lapar and Mr. Versace on the •
history of the drainage done in that area, the Town's involvement
in the Kent Road drainage and a question on the identity of the
developer who had installed the pipe that was causing the problem.
Research was now needed, Mr. Diehl pointed out, to determine who
this developer was and if he was still in the area. Once this was
accomplished they would endeavor to have him correct the violation.
MR. VERSACE moved that Mr. Lapar research the history of the storm
drainage in the Baldwin Drive Area to determine the identity and
whereabouts of the developer who installed the drainage pipe behind
#6, #8 and #10 Baldwin Drive, and if he is located, inform him of
this violation and his responsibility to correct it.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
On the same subject, Mr. Versace asked the Highway Superintendent
if the storm grates at 10 Baldwin Drive could be lowered since they
were causing a problem to the owner when the rain water floods
the driveway instead of running into the drain. He mentioned that
he had been there and witnessed this happening. It was Mr. Croshier's
intent to raise that road this year and this should correct the
problem; Mr. Diehl asked him to check it out before doing the road
work to determine if it was logical to lower these storm grates
or wait and correct it when he was raising the road.
Mr. Johnson added, as a point of information that he had asked
the Attorney to prepare a Local Law which would penalize those
developers who did not complete the work in the subdivisions which
had been required at the time of final approval.
Two Tax Reviews by Art -Tex Petroleum Inc. were served on the Town
Clerk and a Tort Claim by Diane LeRoy vs. the Town Building Inspector.
MR. MCCLOSKEY moved that the Tax Reviews be referred to the law firm
of Rosen Crane and Wolfson to defend on behalf of the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. JOHNSON moved to refer the Tort Claim from Diane LeRoy to the
Town Insurance Carrier upon recommendation of the Attorney.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Lapar submitted a report on Sewer and Water Line Installation
in the Sherwood Heights Subdivision which had been requested by
the Board at their July Meeting.
MR. VERSACE moved that a work shop session be set with the residents
of Sherwood Heights on August 17, 1982 at 7:00 P.M. and the Comptroller
be requested to have a report on a cost estimate for sewer service and
water service for each individual home so the Board can discuss this
at the meeting.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried
A second report from Mr. Lapar concerned pressure problems in the
Central Wappinger Water Area and since Mrs. Mills intended to discuss
other matters of a similar nature under Committee Reports, she asked
that this be tabled to that subject under the Agenda.
A memo was received from Mr. Lapar regarding ownership of the pond
in the recreation area of Ye Olde Apple Orchard. This had been
requested at a previous meeting when Mr. Versace discussed cleaning
of this area by the Recreation Commission and the Board decided that
the boundary lines should be researched. Mr. Lapar
outlining the Town owned portion which proved to be

cleanup be taken out of the Parks Trust Fund account, if necessary.

Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Clerk had received a call from Mr. Robert Speary requesting
to be on the Agenda to speak on the Serenity Mission Roads. Mr.
Speary had not followed up this request with a letter nor was he
present at the meeting, therefore the matter was not discussed.
Mrs. Linda Mazochi, 14 Bell Air Lane addressed a letter to the Town
Clerk citing a serious water problem in their basement and garage
area which had developed since the town's installation of the
drainage system in that area.
MR. JOHNSON moved to refer this communication to the Engineer and
Highway Superintendent for their response to Mrs. Mazochi's problem.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Lapar noted that he had contacted the contractor who installed
the drainage system and he in turn was referring it to his insurance
agent and Mr. Lapar would be informed of their determinations.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a report be received from Mr. Lapar on this
matter.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Versace asked the Attorney the status of the Petvai complaint
which was similar to Mrs. Mazochi and related to the Bell Aire
Drainage Project. Mr. Adams had worked with Mr. Lapar in this
matter and they reported that the complaints which involved the
Town had been settled to their satisfaction but no word had been
received from the contractor's insurance agent. It was agreed that
Mr. Diehl would contact Dave Alexander to determine the status of
this claim.
Two resumes had been received from appraisers seeking the contract
for an appraiser for the Atlas Water System and the matter was
placed before the Board for their consideration.
Mr. Versace requested that he and Mrs. Mills conduct further dis-
cussions on these proposals before acting on the resolution.
MR. DIEHL moved to set a Special Meeting for Tuesday August 17,
1982 for the purpose of considering the selection of an appraiser
for the Atlas Water System.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
It was agreed by Mr. Versace and Mrs. Mills that they would meet
prior to this meeting to discuss any problems they had with the
selection of this appraiser.
A communication was received from the Attorney regarding Mocassin
Hill Subdivision Roads and easement problems. This item was tabled
to the next meeting to enable the Attorney to solve the easement
problems.
A new contract was received from New York Communications Company
Inc. for Town Board consideration. Mr. Croshier wrote to the Board
recommending that they approve this contract.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Supervisor be authorized to sign the
contract with New York Communications Company Inc. for the rental
of their equipment for Town vehicles.
Seconded by Mr. Diehl
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. & Mrs. Robert Diesing, Old Myers Corners Road, wrote to the
Board regarding cablevision hookups. They had been refused cable-
vision due to the fact that there only four houses on their road
even though cablevision lines were installed just a short distance
away from them on Myers Corners and All Angels Road and also at
Fenmore Drive. They asked consideration of their request by the
Board during negotiations with the cable company for a new franchise.
Mr. Diehl noted that this situation had been discussed at their
work shop sessions with the cable company but at this time remains
unresolved; they would, however, continue to press the company for
service to this particular area and he asked the Town Clerk to
inform the Diesings of this intent.
Under Committee Reports, Mrs. Mills informed the Board that she
and Mr. Versace (Water and Sewer) had met with Camo Pollution
on August 3, 1982 and authorized the following work to be done ---
Oakwood Water, repair hydrant, $280.00; roof at water plant to be
repaired, $480.00; Fleetwood Sewer, secondary wheel, $260.00;
Rockingham Water, check valves on air free pumps, $505.00,
Rockingham Sewer, new sump pump, $180.00; Wildwood Sewer new sump
pump, $180.00. Camo Pollution had worked on the 2nd well at Oakwood
and found it to be an easy repair job and they now have a good back-
up well at the plant. A complaint had been referred to the Water
and Sewer Committee on a broken water line and cost of damage it
had caused in the home of Howell Thomas, Hilltop Water. The
insurance carrier would pay for the damage ($40.29) and Mrs. Mills
recommended that this amount be reimbursed to Mr. Thomas.
MRS. MILLS moved that the sum of $40.29 be reimbursed to Mr. Howell
Thomas for expenses incurred from the broken water line and be notified
of this action, also notify the Comptroller and the insurance carrier
of this reimbursement.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Continuing on Water and Sewer, Mrs. Mills reported that a letter
was received from Jack Hill informing them that a chlorine tank
was needed at Tall Trees, however a smaller one could be used, also
a drain must be used on well #2 and she asked Mr. Lapar for a cost
estimate for a smaller tank and the drain .
The program for non -chlorination of all wells had already been
implemented and Camo had reported that the testing was going very
well with just one just one negative report, that being the new
well that was just tied in at the Oakwood Plant, however they
hoped for a positive report after the work that had been authorized
was completed.
Mrs. Mills then discussed pressure problems in the Eck Road area
and some of the reasons for the water draw down. Some of the hydrants
being used by the Fire Companies were one of the reasons and this
had to be discussed with them so they would use others that had
been checked out by Camo and the Engineer. Mr. Lapar recommended
the purchase of a gadget which would measure the water fluctuations
of the various hydrants and could be switched from one to the other.
MRS. MILLS moved that Camo Pollution Control be authorized to purchase
a pressure gauge which would enable them to record a daily record
of pressure from certain wells, at an approximate cost of $190.00.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
The next report was on the Saturday Morning Garbage Program being
conducted at the Town Highway Department which was doing very well,
as reported by Mrs. Mills and she recommended that it be approved
as a permanent program. It had been implemented as a temporary
program pending the reception received from the residents and for
that reason Mrs. Mills felt that the residents were hesitant to
cancel their carter service. Once they were informed that it would
be permanent she felt even more residents would use it.
MRS. MILLS moved that the Saturday Morning Garbage Program be
approved an a permanent basis.%•

Mr. Johnson continued with a report on a drainage problem at
6 and 8 Scott Drive which he and Mr. Croshier had checked out and
found the pipes from the Town installed system plugged up. These
have to be dug up and replaced, also a willow tree has to be removed
from the easement and the Highway Superintendent has asked for
emergency action by the Town Board to approve an expenditure for
the work.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Highway Superintendent be authorized to

Mr. McCluskey, Building Committee, reported that they were still
in negotiations for renewal of the Justice Court Lease on Old
Route 9; the attornies and principals intended to meet next week
for further discussion.
Under Health and Safety, he reported they had interviewed one
applicant for the position of Dog Control Officer and hoped to
set up more interviews for anyone interested in this position.
He added that the Mancini property was almost cleared of the
hazardous wastes that had been stored there and felt that Mr.
Diehl should be receiving more credit for this achievement than
he was actually getting.
Mr. Versace questioned Mr. Johnson on what was being done on the
water easement on Drew Court and he responded that the Drainage
Committee had met with Mr. Lapar and Mr. Croshier and agreed they
should begin doing stream cleaning and easement cleaning from the
source on back rather than individually and once the maps were
received from Mr. Lapar the Board could view the course of action
they intended to take.
Mr. Versace asked the Attorney if they could take any action to
recoup the money expended by the Town in the matter of the chemicals
stored at the Mancini property and Mr. Adams replied that it depended
on the course of action they would take in this matter and a report
would be submitted at the next meeting.
A recommendation was received from the Hughsonville Fire District
to appoint Keith Dubetsky to the Fire Prevention Bureau for a two
year term.
MR. JOHNSON moved that Keith Dubetsky, Hughsonville Fire District
be appointed as a member of the Fire Prevention Bureau for a two
year term which will expire July of 1984, as recommended by this
Fire District.

Bids were received for the paving contract for roads in the
Serenity Mission Subdivision as follows: Ben Ciccone, Inc. in
the amount of $103,795.00 and Paleen Construction Corp. in the
amount of $113,056.00. Since these amounts were nearly three
times the amount of the bond, which still remained uncollected,
the Board chose not to accept either bid.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the two bids be rejected and the Engineer
and the Highway Superintendent rework the bid specs and rebid the
contract in an effort to bring the cost down to a more realistic
figure.

Five bids were received on the Rockingham Farms Recreation Area
Road Culvert Replacement and Stream Cleaning; the two lowest
bids were identical on the Base Bid quoting a price of $13,330.00,
however, Wilson Excavators quoted $9,900.00 on the Alternate Bid
and Hyde Park Sand & Gravel Inc. quoted $10,200.00. Mr. Lapar
recommended that the bid be awarded to Wilson Excavators, Inc.
in the amount of $9,900.00 for the Alternate Bid. There was a
discussion on the difference between the base bid and the alternate
bid and which would stand up better; Mr. Lapar felt that the work-
manship on the alternate bid would do the job although the base
bid would be better constructed and would stand up to vehicular
traffic which the residents claimed was present. Mr. McCluskey
had moved to award the bid to Wilson Excavators Inc. under the
Alternate Bid price of $9,900.00 but rescinded the motion after
the discussion.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to award the bid to Wilson Excavators, Inc.
for the Base Bid amount of $13,330.00 for the Road Culvert Replace-
ment and Stream Cleaning in the Rockingham Farms Recreation Area
and the monies be taken from Downstream Drainage Funds.

A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board on a proposed
Local Law which would prohibit parking in the area of the Chelsea
Boat Ramp on August 9, 1982, the matter was now placed before them
for their consideration.
Mr. Herb Elman being recognized by the Chair asked the Board who
enforced these local laws and was told that the State Police and
the Sheriff Department are responsible for this enforcement. He
then asked what the Town Patrol was and their duties were explained.
Some of the residents then complained about activities in the
Rockingham area after hours, evidence of needles, syringes, and
the fact that the Town Patrol drives in but does nothing to
detain these violators.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be sent to Deputy Sheriff Carl
Amburgey requesting that the patrol deputies identify and disperse
those found in the Rockingham recreation area after hours, and
detain any violators.

markings.

The following letter from Mr. Logan, Town Assessor, was received
regarding the "Homestead Act":
9 July 1982
Supervisor
Town of Wappinger
Dear Mr. Diehl:
You recently received from the Dutchess County Real Property
Tax Office a form for you to sign as Chief Fiscal Officer of the
Town of Wappinger committing the Town as a participant in the
County program of revaluation of all real property.
I would suggest that you discuss this with the full Town
Board with a view toward committing the Town to the project.
There appears to be little risk or exposure to the Town financially
and there may indeed be a great saving of money in the long run.
This would be a committment to the State approved revalua-
tion and whatever monies are spent by the Town will be reimbursed.
The State Legislature passed bills in 1981 which are an
addition to the Real Property Tax Law known as Art. 19. Under
this section local municipalities are permitted to grant Homestead
exemptions to all owners of owner occupied one, two or three
family homes. However in order for a local government to provide
this exemption they must first complete a State approved revalua-
tion. So they have given local government the politically popular
Homestead exemption but only based on the politically unpopular
revaluation.
Since I believe that it is in the best interests of homeowners
in the Town to have available to them the Homestead exemption and
since the only way that can be done is following a State approved
revaluation I believe that the least expensive and quickest way
to help homeowners should be used.
Were the Town not to participate in the current program we
will be faced with the necessity of hiring our own outside
contractor for the technical computer work required. A low
estimate for such a contract would be at least $50,000 and the
provision of Homestead for homeowners in Wappinger delayed
several years.
Very truly yours,
s/ Thomas E. Logan
The following resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN JOHNSON who
moved its adoption:
1'I
BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
hereby agrees to participate in the program for the Attainment
of Improved Real Property Tax Administration known as the
Homestead Act and that the Supervisor be authorized to sign
the Agreement between the County of Dutchess and the Town of
Wappinger.

tion of historic landmarks, and
WHEREAS, Dutchess County has the resources to apply on behalf
of the Town of Wappinger and is permitted under Section 99-H of
the General Municipal Law, now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor of the Town of Wappinger be and
hereby is authorized to execute a Cooperation Agreement with
Dutchess County so that projects initiated by said municipality
may be funded under the Community Development Block Grant Program.

and were now ready to set a public hearing on this matter.

Section II. This amendment shall become effective upon
adoption, posting and publication, as prescribed by Town Law.
The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN JOHNSON
who moved its adoption:
BE IT RESOLVED that a Public Hearing be held by the
Town Board of the Town of Wappinger on September 28, 1982,
at 7:00 P.M. at the Wappinger Junior High School, Remsen
Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York on an Ordinance Amending
the Zoning Map of the Town of Wappinger to rezone a parcel
of property on Myers Corners Road owned by Cornell and Drake
from R-20 to OR -10A.
Seconded by: Councilwoman Mills
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Versace ---Nay
Mr. Versace noted that he did not feel that the Town Board should
go to a Public Hearing on this rezoning request since no new
information had been provided by the owner or the corporation
interested in purchasing the land and at the previous hearing
the residents had voiced their opinion on this rezoning and the
Board should abide by their objections.
Mr. Diehl asked for comments from the Board and the public and
the residents present again brought up their objections to this
rezoning. Mr. Richard Cohen asked just what new information had
been received. Mr. Joseph Porpora strongly objected to the traffic
on Kent Road at the present time and asked them to consider what
a new building would do to this road; he wanted to know what they
were doing about this situation.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be directed to the Dutchess County
Department of Public Works requesting that a traffic count be done
on all roads intersecting with Myers Corners Road after the schools
are in session.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Versace ---Nay
Mr. Versace clarified his "nay" vote by stating that he had voted
against the public hearing and would vote against the rezoning
because the residents had made it very clear that they did not
want a residential area rezoned.
Mike Hirkala resented the time the residents had to put in to
object to a rezoning which should not be considered by the Board
if they adhered to their master plan and their Zoning Ordinance.
Other residents who spoke were Herb Elman, Susan Elman,Linda
Marcarone, Mary Porpora, Sue Cohan, Alberta Roe and Ed Skorynko.
The complaints were of the same nature that had been voiced at
previous meetings on this subject ---traffic problems, safety of
children, effect on Kent Road, no patrol from the Town on this
road. Mary Porpora felt the date set for the public hearing was
too soon after the schools opened and asked Mr. Versace for a
resolution at this meeting to deny. the rezoning. There was not
one person with positive feelings for this rezoning at any one
of the meetings she had attended and could not understand why
the Board was not listening to them. Alberta Roe suggested that
they contact IBM and they would provide safety for the children
at the schools. Mr. Skorynko thought the Town could help the
traffic and speeding problem on Kent Road. Mr.. Diehl allowed
the residents to speak one time and pointed out that the proper
time to bring up these comments would be at the public hearing_
when the applicants would be present to answer their questions.
Mary Schmalz asked the Town Board what was being done on the
water meter requirement for each home and was told that the
Committee was working on this program. She continued with this
discussion, asked who would pay for the meters, and recommended
that everyone pay the flat fee levied on that water district until
all the water meters are installed.
Several work shop sessions had been held by the Negotiating Team
for renewal of the Cablevision Contract with U. S. Cablevision
Company and they were now ready to set a date for a public hearing.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a Public Hearing be set on August 31, 1982
at 8:00 P.M. at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New
York to hear all persons concerning an application from U. S.
Cablevision Corp. for amendment and renewal of its cablevision
franchise.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. McCluskey had previously reported that the Health and Safety
Committee had interviewed an applicant
time Dog Control Officer to assist Mr.
report and informed the Board that the
whom, he felt, was very well qualified
Wappinger resident and a lover of dogs
for the position of part
Nepfel. He added to this
applicant was Mary VanDeCarr,
for the job, a long time
and recommended that she
be appointed to this position. This subject prompted a discussion
from the public on procedures followed by the present Dog Control
Officer when called on a dog complaint. Mr. Diehl suggested that
before making this appointment, the two people involved, namely,
Mrs. Van De Carr and Mr. Nepfel meet with the Committee to
further discuss the problems that had been brought up to determine
the proper procedurein handling them. Mr. McCluskey agreed to
set up a meeting with his Committee and requested that Mr. Diehl
also be present, any other member of the Town Board and anyone
else who would be interested in this position.
A letter was received from Carlo Picciotti, Moccasin View Road
requesting permission from the Town Board to become a tenant to
the Watch Hill Water District. He mentioned in his letter that
he was having difficulty with his presentwelland the existing
water line was adjacent to his property. Mrs. Mills moved that
the Engineer check the property to determine if it was in the
district or if he would have to hook into the system as a tenant;
this had already been determined by Mr. Lapar and he stated that
the property was not in the district, therefore, he would have to
be a tenant subject to the policy of the Town requiring that double
rates be paid and a fee of $500.00 be paid for the hook-up. The
procedure was explained to Mr. Picciotti and Mrs. Mills revised
her motion.
MRS. MILLS moved that Carlo Picciotti be given permission to hook
into the Watch Hill Water District subject to all conditions of
the Town Policy established for tenants to all water and sewer
districts and improvements.
Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried
The Planning Board wrote to the Town Board regarding the establish-
ment of a Park District in the Hamlet Conservation Subdivision
requesting their action in this matter since it was holding up
the Planning Board's final approval of the subdivision. Mrs. Snowden
noted that the developers had not applied for such a district.
Mr. Adams mentioned that he had a meeting planned with the attorney
of that developer on the following day and would bring the matter
to his attention and the matter was tabled to the next meeting.
There were no other items on the agenda, but other matters were
discussed by the Board.
In view of some of the comments made on the Cornell -Drake rezoning,
Mr. Johnson requested that the Attorney prepare a local law for no
thru traffic on Kent Road for consideration by the Board at the
next meeting.
MR. VERSACE moved that a letter be directed to the Dutchess County
Department of Public Works requesting School Zone Signs be posted
at Ketcham High School, Myers Corners Elementary and Wappinger
Junior High School and recommended a 15MPH speed limit.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Versace brought up a memo received from the Comptroller
regarding the installation of a new gas pump at the Highway to
be used by the Supervisor, Assessor, Building Inspector, Safety
Patrol and Recreation Department. He pointed out that the mowers
used by Recreation could not use unleaded gas and if they intended
to implement the original plan, the purchase of a second tank and
pump would be necessary. It seemed their intent was to have two
tanks, one for regular gas and one for unleaded gas; a card system
would be used so the proper account would be charged. Mr. Cuatt
asked for direction from the Board and it was agreed that this
matter would be discussed with him.
Mrs. Mills asked the reporter from the Wappinger and Southern
Dutchess News to print a map for direction to the Castle Point
Landfill Site on River Road.
,PN3
Mr. Versace had one more item to discuss ---he felt the Town
Board should consider taking a positive step toward building a
new Town Hall. The first step he thought should be taken would
be to rescind a motion made several years ago setting a limit
of $375,000.00 in the Capital Fund maintained for this purpose.
He recommended that this be taken up at a work shop session for
further discussion. A Space Needs Study had been made by a
local architect and a piece of land was available which should
give them more incentive to proceed with the project. Mr.
Johnson offered his comments and concurred with Mr. Versace's
recommendation. He suggested that the Building Committee schedule
a meeting and consider the available options; they were ready to
go to contract but that was held up when it came to their attention
that a more attractive parcel of land might be available. The
developer was held up longer than anticipated and the Town was
still waiting in the hope that they could obtain this land.
There was no other business to come before the Board.
MRS. MILLS moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Johnson
and unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 11:41 P.M.
