The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
was held on February 14th, 1983 at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York.
Supervisor Diehl opened the meeting at 8:11 P.M.
Present:
Louis Diehl, Supervisor
Nicholas Johnson, Councilman
Gerard McCluskey, Councilman
Bernice Mills, Councilwoman
Frank Versace, Councilman
Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
Others Present:
Jon Holden Adams, Attorney
Rudolph Lapar, Engineer to the Town
Kenneth Croshier, Highway Superintendent
All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag.
Since Mr. Diehl had announced prior to the meeting that no action
would be taken on the Cornell -Drake rezoning at this meeting, Mr.
Versace asked to speak on some concerns he had in this matter.
The Town Board is under obligation under the SEQR law to have a
Findings Statement prepared by a firm other than the one that had
prepared the E.I.S and the Attorney had indicated to Mr. Versace
that he could prepare this statement, but felt that the Town Board
should retain someone else to do it.
Mr. Adams clarified this statement and explained that the Findings
Statement should be prepared by a person trained in environmental
disedue to the fact that this statement has to address the
environmental factors which have been reviewed in the draft of the
Final E.I.S. It could be the same consultant that was previously
retained, however, the only distinction woil.ld be that heretofore
the various costs associated with the analysis of the draft E.I.S.
were passed on to the applicant; the costs associ.ted with the
Findings Statement cannot be absorbed 4y the developer, therefore,
if this consultant was retained, the fee would have to be paid out
of general Town funds. It would be a Town Board decision.
Another concern of Mr. Versace's was the matter of obligations
to be fulfilled by the Pizzagall Company regarding this rezoning,
in
which he felt should be,4iriting and ha..had been informed by the
Attorney that this was labeled a conditional rezoning whereby
an agreement would be drawn up between both parties and all
conditions would be met before the rezonipg would be considered.
He mentioned some of the comments made at the public hearing which
should be in writing, also a letter from Jonah Sherman regarding
his concerns on Four Fields and response from the Pizzagalli Company;
a donation of $250,000 and improvement on Myers Corners Road and
All Angels Hill Road concerning the traffic stacking line. He
recommended that a work shop session be set up with the Town Board,
the Pizzagalli Company and their attorneys for discussion of these
items.
Mr. Diehl responded that they were well aware of the preparation
of a Findings Statement to be prepared by an environmental firm
which would be considered by the Board at this meeting, and the
cost would be borne by the Town; he would not support any further
work shops or public hearings; Mr. Sherman's letter and response
from the Pizzagalli Company were on file and the
Corners Road and All Angels Hill Road is a matter
County and Pizzagalli, not a concern of the Town.
reason for any further discussion.
Although Mr. Versace persisted with his recommendation for a
work shop and put it in the form of a motion, the other members
of the Board did not concur with this recommendation and the motion
failed for lack of a second.

Motion Unanimously Carried
A verbal request was received from Richard Barger for consideration
of the acceptance of Spring Hill Court and Cross Ridge Road by the
Board as Town roads.
Mr. Adams commented that the Road Guarantee Bond tendered for
these roads was issued by the Republic Insurance Company; the
Performance Bond was also issued by this company and due to past
experience with this company, a separate cash deposit was obtained
to cover the cost of legal fees if it was necessary for the Town
to assume the bond. He suggested that the Board may want to
impose the same condition on the Road Guarantee Bond as was
imposed on the Performance Bond.
Mr. JOHNSON moved that Spring Hill Court and Cross Ridge Road be
accepted as Town Roads subject to submission of a cash bond in
addition to the:, Guarantee Bond by the developer, in case of
litigation.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Before the motion was voted on, Mr. Lapar and Mr. Crosher informed
the Board that these roads were completed to meet the Highway
Specifications. All the necessary documents had been received
by Mr. Adams.
The following letters were received regarding the Cornell -Drake
rezoning:

Re: Our File #23,614
Dear Board Members:
I am writing to you on behalf of Joan and Jonah Sherman, who
reside at Four Fields in the Town of Wappinger, in connection
with the proposed rezoning of the 31.5 acre Cornell -Drake
parcel located westerly of Meyers Corners Road. Mr. and Mrs.
Sherman do not oppose the rezoning. They have followed the
rezoning process closely and support the rezoning as a positive
step in the planned development of the Town. They recognize
that the project would constitute a major tax ratable for the
Town. They do have several concern which have prompted this
this letter. The Shermans have presented those concerns to
this Board at many of its prior public meetings. They hope
and expect that the Board will recognize their position when
it acts on the proposed rezoning.
The Shermans first concern is the continued existence of the
present natural forested buffer between the northern boundary
of their residential property and the southern boundary of
the internal roads and parking area serving the proposed
building. The proposed site plan, both in notes on the plan
as well as the plan itself, indicates a 250 foot wide existing
natural forested area to remain as a buffer. The Shermans
request that this Board condition any rezoning upon a require-
ment that the existing forested area remain undisturbed for a
depth of not less than 250 feet measured from the northern
boundary of the existing residential properties which lie to
the south of the site. They ask that this condition be imposed
upon the owners, developers and tenants of the property, both
present and future. The only exception to this would be for
the installation of underground utilities through the buffer
area serving the project. The Shermans request further that
these conditions be forwarded to the Town of Wappinger Planning
Board for consideration as minimum requirements when that Board
reviews the final site plan. The draft Environmental Impact
Statement submitted by the applicant to this Board confirms the
applicant's willingness to provide the 250 foot buffer, to main-
tain undisturbed the existing forested land and to screen the
residences in the Four Fields area. The draft EIS contains at
least six references to the screening at the following pages:
II -1, II -4, VI -1*, VI -7*, VI -10, VIII -1.
The Shermans second concern, no less important than the first,
relates to Four Fields. Four Fields is a private drive leading
from Meyers Corners Road to the project. The drive is owned in
fee by the owners of the project site. At present six single
family residences, including the Sherman's, gain access to Meyers
Corners Road over Four Fields by virtue of easements. The
traveled right of way is narrow and unimproved. Snow removal
and maintenance is handled informally by the residents using the
drive. The Shermans do not seek that Four Fields becomes a Town
road; in fact quite the reverse.
The Sherman's concern is that Four Fields not be used for any
purpose relating to the proposed project except for the installa-
tion of underground utilities serving the project. The applicant
has recognized this concern in the draft EIS in at least four
references: Pages II -4, 111-4, VIII -2 and Appendix C-2. Access
to the proposed project as shown on the proposed site plan and
as described in the draft EIS would be only from Myers Corners
Road at a location approximately 1200 feet northeasterly from
Four Fields. In the words of the traffic impact study the
access from Four Fields to the site ". . . will be voided".
The Shermans request that the rezoning be conditioned on an
agreement that Four Fields not be used in any manner by the
applicant, the owners of t he project site or any tenant of any
facility on the site either during construction of any improve-
ments or thereafter except for the installation of underground
ttiiities. They request that the applicant agree to use techniques
in installing the underground utilities through the 250 foot natural
forested buffer zone so as to minimally disturb the buffer
zone. They would ask further that these concerns be trans-
mitted to the Town Planning Board for their consideration
when site plan is reviewed.
The Shermass view the proposed rezoning as a positive step
for the Town of Wappinger. They ask this Board to respond
to their concerns as set forth in this letter and to protect
their interests and the interests of the other single family
homeowners in the Four Fields area.

A request to lower the speed limit on Myers Corners Road
Between All Angels Hill Road and Brothers Road from 40 MPH
to 30 MPH from William T. Parsons, Chairman of the New
Hackensack Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Town request the Dutchess County
Department of Public Works and the New York State Department
rr' of Transportation to reduce the speed limit on Myers Corners
Road between All Angels Hill Road and Brothers Road from 40MPH
to 30 MPH, and enclose Mr. Parson's letter with this request.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills

_,
Mr. John Perillo wrote to the Town Board regarding the Middlebush
Cemetery requesting an appropriate marker to replace the worn
painted plywood sign currently marking the site. He also
brought to their attention that the current sign states
"Middlebush Road Cemetery" which is incorrect. The word "road"
should be stricken from the sign since the cemetery was named
after the Methodist Episcopal Church of Middlebush. He'gave
the history of the cemetery ----year it was founded and informa-
tion on the deed. Mr. Johnson noted that the cemetery was an
historical site of the Town and this matter, he felt, should
be referred to the Town Historian, Mrs. Connie Smith.
MR. JOHNSON moved that this request be referred to Mrs. Smith
to arrange for the proper sign to identify the Middlebush
Cemetery and when this has been finalized she should contact
the Town Board for funding the project.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from the Zoning Board. of. Appeals recommending

A Negative Declaration under the SEQR Law was received from
the Dutchess County Department of Public Works regarding
reconstruction of a portion of Myers Corners Road, CR93 at
the intersection of Spook Hill Road.
Mr. Diehl reminded the Board of the culvert on that road near
Losee Road that required enlargement and which had been requested
by the Board several years ago and felt this would be an appro-
priate time for this work to be done along with the reconstruction
of the road.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Notice of Negative Declaration
regarding reconstruction of a portion of Myers Corners Road
be received and placed on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Spratt,
Commissioner of Dutchess County Department of Public Works,
requesting that his department enlarge the culvert under
Myers Corners Road in the Losee Road area in the Hunter Creek
system, while they are reconstructing a portion of Myers Corners
Road, since this has been a problem for many years.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Johnson requested that a copy of this letter be forwarded
to the Wappinger County Legislators.
A letter was received from Mrs. Kathryn Schroeder, 10 Ada
Drive, Town of Wappinger, regarding a faulty water meter
which caused a flood in her basement. Mrs. Schroeder asked
the Board to consider an adjustment in the water bill for the
water loss which amounted to approximately $7.00.
Mr. Diehl had referred this request to Camo Pollution Control
and they reported that it was a realistic request as it was
the Town's responsibility; the water and sewer billing clerk
had checked her bills for the past year and found that she
never used more than the minimum amount. He further noted that
Mrs. Schroeder took care of the expenses of the damage caused
by the flood and was not seeking reimbursement of this expendi-
ture.
Mrs. Mills added that this matter had been discussed by the
Water and Sewer Committee at their last meeting and recommended
that an adjustment be made on Mrs. Schroeder's next bill.
MRS. MILLS moved that a credit adjustment of $7.00 be made on the
next water bill_for Mrs. Kathryn Schroeder at 10 Ada Drive.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Planning Board forwarded a copy of the Draft EIS
on Carmel Heights, Sections I & II Subdivision and requested
that the Town Board respond' with any comments they may have
within thirty days.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the DRaft EIS on CarmelHeights Subdivision,
be received and placed on file.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
A report was received from the Attorney and cost projection
from Mr.Lapar on various projects for Wappinger Sewer Improve-
ment ##1, specifically Cedar Hill.
Mrs. Mills reported that a meeting had been held by the
Water and Sewer Committee with Mr. Adams and Mr. Lapar and
agreed that it was time to take action on providing the homes
on Cedar Hill with sewer facilities. The Comptroller had
researched and found that the Town had borrowing power in the
amount of $440,000.00 from previous bonding on these facilities.
The Committee recommended that the Town move ahead with this
project and direct the Engineer to draw up the plans.
MRS. MILLS moved that Mr. Lapar be authorized to draw up the
necessary plans and specifications to hook up the residents
of Cedar Hill to Wappinger Sewer Improvement ##1 and comply
with SEQR requirements, also Central Wappinger Water Improvement
Area.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Versace added that this plan would provide a service to
all the unsewered areas in Sewer Improvement #1 and when
completed sewer facilities will be available to every resident
in that district.
A second report from Mr. Adams referenced a meeting he and
Mr. Johnson had attended in Cooperstown, New York on the
proposed PASNY power lines, on January 4th, 1983. Mr. Johnson
had given a verbal report on this meeting at the January meeting.
MR. JOHNSON moved that Mr. Adam's report be aecepted and placed
on file.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter from Hans Gunderud to Jon Holden Adams had been
forwarded to the Board regarding the Niemcyk rezoning.
Mr. Johnson reported that this matter had been discussed
by the Ordinance Committee and at work shop sessions with
the full Board and they had agreed that they would not
consider rezoning this property. It was suggested to Mr.
Niemcyk that he go back to the Zoning Board of Appeals and
apply for a variance, however, this was denied and he was
appealing to the Town Board for relief. Mr. Johnson had
discussed the problem with Mr. Albert Roberts, attorney for
the applicant and indicated that the Board would discuss
other avenues they might suggest. Mr. Versace interjected
that the applicant has been in violation for the past two years
and had been cited by the Zoning Administrator two years ago;
he was granted delays in clearing the equipment from the property;
he has been denied in his application for a variance twice by the
Zoning Board of Appeals and in the last four months has had a
court appearance postponed three out of four times and at the
work shop session the Board informed him that they would not
consider rezoning his property. His point was what does the
Attorney for the applicant intend to propose to the Board in
his request for a meeting with them. Mr. Johnson responded that
he had made Mr. Roberts aware of these facts in their discussion,
however, the Attorney had requested another discussion and Mr.
Johnson did not refuse him. Mr. Versace explained that he was
not questioning Mr. Johnson's intent, however, he felt it was
futile to pursue the matter and pointed out that this was his
opinion and he would not support any other avenue of relief.
Mr. Diehl concurred with Mr. Versace in this matter and recom-
mended that Mr. Gunderud be notified to take the necessary action.
MR. DIEHL moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Gunderud stating
that the Town Board has no intention of rezoning Mr. Niemcyk's
property nor can they offer any other means of relief and he
is further directed to proceed with court action on the existing
violations.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
A second report from Mr. Gunderud informed the Board that the
Justice Court had levied a $1,000 fine on Mr. & Mrs. John Gallagher
for their repeated violations of Town zoning concerning a junk yard
on their property on HiView Road. The report further stated that
he had been working on this problem for 31 years and although a
$1,000 fine was levied in 1981, the Gallaghers continued with this
violation. He expressed the hope that the second fine would cause
them to shape up.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that this report be accepted and placed on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried
Another communication from Mr. Gunderud was in reference to
consideration by the Town Board to allow Otto Klassen to hook-up
Lot #5, Edgehill Manor to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District as
a tenant. Enclosed with this letter was a copy of Dutchess County
Department of Health approval for the hook-up.
Mr. Diehl recommended that Mr. Klassen be notified of the Tenant
Policy regarding the hook-up fees and imposition of double rates.
MR. JOHNSON moved that permission be given to Otto Klassen to
hook-up Lot ##5, Edgehill Manor as a tenant to the Rockingham, Farms
Sewer District subject to his acceptance of the conditions of the
Tenant Policy and his signature thereon.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Edward Haisrksley, Chairman of the Wappinger Conservation
Advisory Council had requested to speak to the Board regarding
the Drainage Study to be conducted by students of Cornell University.
They had previously been requested to submit a map delineating the
areas they intended to cover in this study and submit it to Mr. Lapar
for his approval. This map had been previously viewed by Mr. Lapar
and he recommended that the Board give their final approval to the
Drainage Study.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Supervisor be authorized to sign an
Agreement with Cornell University for a Drainage Study to be
conducted by their students in the amount of $9,946.00 and
this amount be transferred from the Downstream Drainage Account
to the Conservation Advisory Council to pay the fee for the
Drainage Study.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
While on the subject of drainage, Mr. Johnson brought up the matter
of the Hunter Creek project which has been long delayed. At the
time the Board was contemplating this project, the Dutchess County
Mosquito Control Program volunteered to do this at no cost to the
Town, however, a release could not be obtained from one of the
landowners and the project came to a halt. Mr. Johnson felt it
was time the Town kept their promise to the residents of Pleasant
Lane and proceed with the work.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Engineer be authorized to draw up the
necessary specifications and go to bid on this project.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
A request was received from the Highway Superintendent to purchase

Mr. James Spratt, Commissioner of Dutchess County Department of
Public Works, responded to our letter of January 13th, 1983
concerning the proposed improvements to the highway shoulders
of New Hackensack Road. This project had been started by the
County back in 1979, but due to litigation initiated by a
resident on that road on the removal of trees, a temporary court
injunction was issued prohibiting the County from accomplishing
this work until the matter came to court. The case came up late
in 1982 and the decision of the court was favorable to the County,
however, eccoiing to Mr. Spratt, the money allocated for this
work was spent on other projects and although this improvement
project can be planned for a future time, funding is not presently
available. Mrs. Mills took issue with this statement and felt
the money could be found to keep the road in a safe condition,
She further pointed out that the Wappinger County Legislators
should support the Town in this request.
MRS. MILLS moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Spratt requesting
that he proeeed with the project of

were reviewing it and expected to make a decision
in approximately three weeks.
The New York State Department of Transportation responded to our
complaint of the malfunction of the traffic light at Myers Corners
Road and Route 9 on numerous occasions. Their records indicated
four malfunctions from October 1, 1982 to date which were repaired
as expeditiously as possible and the signal returned to normal
operation.
Mr. McCluskey commented that Mr. Cosgrove (Civil Engineer -Traffic,
and writer of the letter) had a very short memory or a very poor
source of information. It was Mr. McCluskey's opinion that the
light was constantly breaking down, then goes into a flash phase
for eight to ten hours. At times the State Police direct traffic
but there are occasions when it is a hit and go situation.
Mr. Versace disagreed with Mr. McCluskey's picture of the situation
since, he said he traveled that road many times a day and the light
was not malfunctioning as frequently as Mr. McCluskey thought it
was and the State Police were there at the times the light was
not operating.
While on the subject of this traffic light, Mr. Diehl noted that
several years ago the Town had requested left turn arrows at these
lights (Myers Corners (westbound) and Middlebush Road (eastbound)
and he recommended that this request be repeated and forwarded to
the New York State Department of Transportation.
MR. DIEHL moved that a letter be directed to New York State
Department of Transportation requesting that these lights be
replaced with a phased traffic control device with left arrow turns
at the intersection of Myers Corners Road and Route 9 (westbound)
and Middlebush Road and Route 9 (eastbound).
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Again on the subject of lights, Mr. Johnson noted that under new
legislature, the State has authorized a special engineering unit
to be assigned to the County to take over the operation and main-
tenance of traffic lights at the intersection of Town and County
roads.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Spratt
requesting that the County take over the operation and maintenance
on three Town Traffic Lights---Middlebush Road and Old Route 9,
Old Hopewell Road and All Angels Hill Road, Myers Corners Road
and All Angels Hill Road and the letter be copied to the Wappinger

reply to that use when they met with him while on the other hand,
Mr. Birch, also from the Dutchess County Department of Planning

Before the vote was taken, Mr. Versace added that the Town would

Mr. Diehl had discussed the matter of these funds relating to
their possible use for the water and sewer plants with Mr. O'Connor

was MR. Diehl's opinion that the Engineer to the Town was
knowledgeable of these conditions and of the needs of the
water and sewer plants and could advise the Board on the
proper procedure on submitting this application more expedi-
tiously than would an outside firm. He would, therefore, not
support appointing another firm.
Discussion continued between Mrs.Mills and Mr. Diehl on the
matter----she pointed out that this outside firm would provide
them with all eligible projects for the available funds since
they were doing it for six other communities, and Mr. Diehl
responding that our Engineer had immediate access to the
information needed by the Board. Both agreed that the final
decision would be made by the Board.
Mr. Versace had a final comment to add to the discussion and
noted that consortium funds had to be handled differently than
Federal monies previously applied for it's a one shot affair,
they're working on a time table of March 25th and if the applica-
tion is not in, or if submitted and denied, the Town will lose
out on this money. They (he and Mrs. Mills) recommended this
action as the Water and Sewer Committee because he believed that's
why committees were formed---to make recommendations to the Board.
He meant no slight to Mr. Lapar, but this firm was recommended by
them due to their deep involvement in consortium funding.
Mr. Michael Hirkala, being recognized by the Chair, asked the
purpose of the grant and when he was told it was for the intention
of making certain improvements to benefit the overall residents of
the Town, Mr. Hirkala retorted that there were many residents in
the Town who were not in water and sewer districts and there were
also many residents of low income not in water and sewer districts,
why was the Town Board earmarking these funds for water and sewer.
Although he was told by the Board Members that they were also
seeking other projects for these funds, he differed with them and
felt that they had already made their decision.
MR. DIEHL moved that Mr. Lapar be appointed to research this
matter to determine all eligible projects that would be
acceptable in the application by the Town for consortium funds
and report back to the Board in ten days.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. and Mrs. William Neave wrote to the Board concerning a
drainage problem that they felt existed on a parcel of property
on Cedar Hill Road which they intended to purchase and they were
requesting that the Town consider correcting the situation.
Mr. Neave was present and spoke to the Board on the problem;
he walked the property with his mason last week and noticed a
"river" running down the middle of the property and wondered
where it was coming from. It appears that five or six years ago
there was a water problem in that area and a storm drain was
installed about 300 yerdd from the property but it was directed
into one storm drain under the road and directly into this parcel
of land. He spoke to Mr. Lapar and was told that the Town has the
right if the land is vacant, to dump water on the property; Mr.
Neave felt it was private property and the Town had no right to
1'1
take such action. Mr. Lapar also informed him that when he
submitted the plot plan for the house, he would have to show
the method he intended to use to correct the problem which
would have to be done at his expense. MR. Neave felt it
was the Town's responsibility to correct the problem since
they had installed the pipe.
Mr. Croshier responded that he had been employed with the Highway
Department for thirty years and the area in question has been
open land for that length of time and the pipe has also been
there for that period of time. His understanding was that
after the pipe had been in that location for that length of
time, it could be replaced with new pipe as long as it was
put in the same location which the Highway did about five
years ago. He believed that the Attorney would concur with
this fact.
Mr. Versace commented that when this problem came to light,
he had informed Mr. Neave to contact the Town Board; he had
checked this area and agreed that this location was the only
feasible one where the pipe could be installed. He continued
that although many years ago it was the practise to dump water
on vacant land, some consideration had to be given to the person
now interested in purchasing the land since it would be a hell
of a problem for that person to resolve. Mr. Croshier pointed
out that there were many similiar situations throughout the
Town and if one were corrected it would follow suit that the
other problems would become the Town's responsibility. MR.
Versace retorted that the Town would have to consider each
case as it was presented ---at the present time they had to
try to resolve Mr. Neave's problem.
MR. DIEHL moved that this matter be referred to the Drainage
Committee, the Attorney and the Highway Superintendent to -
collaborate on a resolution to the problem and report back
to the Town Board.

Cedar Hill to properties along Hopewell Road to the east of
$190,000.00.

Mrs. Mills also mentioned that the Board should consider
updating their water laws which has not occurred since 1967.
A letter had been received from Mr. Croshier regarding the
Llewellyn complaint which had been referred to him at the
last meeting and he reported that he had visited Mr. Llewellyn
and recommended that a guard rail be installed to alleviate
the problem of accidents in that vicinity. Mrs. Mills thanked
Mr. Croshier for his cooperation.
Mrs. Mills asked Mr. Johnson the status of the local law
governing garage sales which had been tabled at a previous
meeting.
Mr. Johnson responded that this law was tabled for further
discussion with Mr. Gunderud. A report was received from
him indicating that there would be an enforcement problem
if the law was enacted by the Board. He could not support
holding a public hearing on the local law that had been
presented.
Mrs. Poleneic, 10 Hilltop Drive, being recognized by the Chair,
complained about a church holding garage sales on All Angels
Hill Road and signs on that road directing the public to the
building which resulted in cars parking along that road
interfering with traffic; one sign near Cider Mill Loop has
been up for six months and "looks a mess". She pointed out
that these signs are illegal according to Central Hudson.,
Mr. Johnson pointed out the problem of enforcement; Mrs.
Poloncic suggested informing the Deputy Sheriffs who patroled
that road and Mr. Johnson asked how do they prove who put the
signs up to which she responded that there was an address on
the sign. Mr. Johnson replied that there would be no proof
that the people at that address put the sign up. !urther
discussion was needed with the Zoning Administrator to
determine what the problems are and endeavor to come up with
another version of this local law that could be enforced.
Mrs. Mills questioned Mr. Adams on the Performance Bond
submitted by U. S. Cablevision Corp. required by the
Franchise Agreement, which was unacceptable to him when
originally submitted. He noted that he had contacted
their attorney and requested language changes, but had
not received a reply. Mrs. Mills noted that the Town Board
had not received answers from the Cable Committee on questions
they had previously discussed with them relating to the cable
service. Mr. Diehl had written to Mr. Cortellino, Chairman
of the Committee but had not received a response.
MRS. MILLS moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Erichsen,
General Manager of U. S. Cablevision, and the Cable Committee
inviting them to attend the next work shop session of the
Town Board for discussion of the problems.

Mrs. Mills, Landfill Committee, reported that they would hold
a meeting in the near future to discuss a Town -wide pick-up
in the Spring and a complete report would be forthcoming at
the March meeting.
Mr. Johnson reported on a meeting on the PASNY proposed power
lines held February 8th, 1983 at Van Wyck School and attended
by approximately 600 people with the same sentiments that have
been expressed by the Town Board. The only supporters of the
project were people out of town who thought it might provide
temporary jobs for them. The County was working on the
Consortium of the municipalities to oppose these lines and
the Town of Wappinger was the first to join and contribute
$3,000 for Stage I.
Bill Egan, being recognized by the Chair, added that the County
passed a resolution today authorizing the expenditure of $15,000
for Stage I; they expect Orange County to join on the 22nd of
this month; Sullivan County is expected to authorize the sum
of $3,000 for Stage I today. The agreement passed at the
County meeting stated that Orange County and Dutchess County
would contribute an equal share and the estimated cost of the
study was between $25,000 and $30,000.
Mr. Versace directed a question to the Attorney ----the Town
received an appraisal from a professional firm on Atlas Water
District which was placed on file for future reference. At
the work shop session, the Board discussed a contract with
Atlas Water Company to provide water for the water districts;
was this contract finalized.
Mr. Adams answered that a draft had been circulated with a
request for comments within 10 days; the draft was sent out
last week.
A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board on January
24th, 1983, on a proposed Local Law Providing for Credits to

Mr. Versace asked Mr. McCluskey if there was any progress on
the plans for a new Town Hall; he pointed out that resumes had
been received from different firms indicating interest in this
project and a meeting had been held with the full Board for
discussion on the interested contractors, but they have not had
a meeting in over a month and he would like to know the status
of the project. He stated again that he thought this would be
a matter for involvement by the full Board. The building season
is approaching and they should be moving ahead with plans.
Mr. McCluskey responded that the Board Members agreed at the
last meeting that they would come back with their ideas of the
size of the new Town Hall; he's still waiting for this information
and that has delayed progress.
Mr. Versace retorted that at that meeting the Board had agreed on
a plan of study in the area of 12,000 square feet. His point was
that there are builders interested in the project who have indi-
cated they would like to meet with the Town Board and he felt it
was Mr. McCluskey's responsibility, as Chairman of the Committee,
to set up meetings with these builders to determine what they
could offer to the Town.
The two Councilmen went back and forth with their discussion
and Mrs. Milts suggested, as the other half of that Committee,
that they set up a meeting with the Town Board and whomever else
Mr. McCluskey had been in contact with and get the ball rolling.
Mr. Versace addressed his next comment to Mr. Crosher re corres-
pondence received from Dr. Scott, Dutchess County Mosquito Control,
and asked Mr. Croshier if he had been in contact with him.
Mr. Diehl responded that he had received a map from Mr. Gunderud
indicating the problem areas and he forwarded the map to Mr. Croshier.
When it is returned to his office, the Board would be welcome to

Late correspondence had been received from Mr. Nepfel, Dog

BID REPORT
19 84
A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of
Wappinger on February 14th, 1983, at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York on a
proposed Local Law Regulating Motorized Vehicles on Lands of
Town Sewer and Water Improvement Districts.
Supervisor Diehl opened the Hearing at 7:54 P.M.
Present:
Louis Diehl, Supervisor
Nicholas Johnson, Councilman
Gerard McCluskey, Councilman
Bernice Mills, Councilwoman
Frank Versace, 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).
Mr. Diehl asked for comments from the public either for or
against the proposed Local Law.
Alex Czarniecki, 21 Helen Drive, stated that he was opposed to
the law and did not understand why it was brought up. The.
restrictions are excessive for whatever problems happen to exist.
If the problem is noise, there are mufflers available to solve that
problem; if the prdlblem is vandalism the solution is not to prohibbt
motor vehicles. He introduced his two boys and stated that they ride
motor bikes. The law hurts law abiding citizens and penalizes those
who are riding the motor bikeS and be felt it was unfair to point
it at the cyclists.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that law restricted the motor bikes on
the water and sewer lands, however, as long as they were properly
licensed they could use the roads and other unrestricted lands.
The local law was prompted by the residents who live in and around
the water and sewer plants who have been bothered and in some cases,
threatened by children from other areas who are using the Town lands.
Mr. Czarniecki pointed out that the law should have been against
trespassing, not against the motor bike riders. This wide open
land that they were restricting was perfect fof this sport -- no
trees, no obstructions. He thought they should consider leaving
the land open for the proper use and not restrict it.
Elizabeth Baker, 56 Martin Drive, was familiar with the reasons
that prompted this law. The problem seems to be with underage
children riding bikes that are not insured and not registered and
are unsupervised on Town of Wappinger lands. These children are
not dressed properly for this sport and when they perform their
exercises on the bikes they could damage Town lands, private property
and could cause injury to themselves. There are, some cases where
the parents do supervise the children and the sport they are engaging
in, but in most cases there is no supervision and the parents seem
to have no interest in their activity. These are the ones that this
law will protect since asshe, pointed out "money talks".
Andrew Herrup, 57 Martin Drive, said he lived only a few houses
away from the plant and complained of the noise from unmuffled
bikes. He agreed that these lands were not the place for this
activity and thought the Town could set aside certain lands for
this sport, which would be a distance from the residential area.
They would like to enjoy the peace and tranquility of their home.
Cassie Czarniecki, 21 Helen Drive, commented that some of the
problems she heard about tonight,, are already covered under other
laws. The proposed local law had nothing to do with unsupervised
children and this is not what we should be addressing tonight.
She felt that the law was taking public lands away from law abiding
citizens who are using them in a right and proper manner. The
bikes have to have a muffler system to keep the noise down, but
if the complaints are on noise, then it should be addressed under
the proper law.
Mr. Johnson noted that the public lands Mrs. Czarniecki spoke of
were actually Town owned lands and were considered private lands.
Mr. Herrup noted that the lands of the water and sewer plants were
designated for that use, they were not intended for the use of
motor bikes. If that had been the case, he never would have moved
to that area.
Mrs. Elizabeth Baker commented that the lands behind the Herrups
and the others on Martin Drive was a Central Hudson easement and
would also be considered private property.
Mr. Diehl asked the public if there were any further comments
either for or against the proposed local law.
There were no other comments made for or against the local law.
Mr. Johnson moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mr.
McCluskey and unanimously carried.
The Public Hearing closed at 809 P.
