The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of October 13, 1982 and the

Reports for the month of October were received from the Town
Justices, Building Inspector/Zoning Administrator, Receiver of

Supervisor/Comptroller Report through September 30, 1982.
MR. JOHNSON moved to aeceptt, the reports and place them on file.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Supervisor Diehl interrupted the Agenda to recognize Peter White,
Wappinger County Legislator for his report on the County meeting.
He sponsored three resolutions regarding the PASNY 345 power lines,
two of which were passed and one did not due to a misunderstanding
on the roll call vote. One dealt with county opposition to the
PASNY contract with Quebec which he felt was illegal and the other
also referencing this contract was the fact, he said, that a state
cannot, under the Constitution,
power. He asked if there were
enter into contract with a foreign
questions and Mr. McCluskey said
he had no questions but would like copies of the resolutions.
The Agenda was resumed and the first item was in regard to
letters received from Mr. & Mrs. Stephen Tedone and Mr. & Mrs.
John Fusaro regarding accidents on Losee Road. They were similiar
to one received at the last meeting regarding the dangerous condi-
tions on this road which they felt attributed to the many accidents
on that road and recommendations which these residents felt would
help alleviate the danger. Mr. Diehl had responded to both these
letters advising the residents that the Town was concerned and
felt that the double yellow lines in the center of the road plus
the large yellow signs advising motorists of dangerous curves
would have resolved the problems, but apparently they had not.
The next step, he said, would be an attempt to have the speed
reduced and have the Sheriff Department set up radar and he
asked the Board Members to csheider taking action on these
recommendations at the meeting.
There were many residents of this road present and they were all
given the opportunity to speak of the problems they were experiencing.
Many of them complained about the dangerous curve at the inter-
section of Sucich Place and Losee Road where motorists seem to
lose control when heading north and end up crashing into a big
cedar tree on the other side of the road. All who spoke were in
favor of stop signs at this intersection and it was further recom-
mended that a three way stop sign be put there, Other recommenda-
tions offered were to lower the speed limit from 40 MPH to 25 MPH,
put up a sign for
for the accidents
to the dounty and
Other suggestions
no thru traffic, guard rails, check police records
that have occurred on the road and forward them
state when requesting the lower speed limit.
were offered and the Board Members agreed that
these would all be considered in an effort to help make this road
a safer one.
MR. DIEHL moved to petition the County and State Agencies to lower
the speed limit to 25 MPH on Losee Road, install a three way Stop Sign
3
at the Losee Road, Sucich Place intersection and to contact the
Sheriff Department to set up radar now and after the Stop Signs
are installed.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Adams informed the Board that a public hearing would have to
be held for the installation of the Stop Signs and he was directed
to prepare the necessary Local Law for Town Board action in this
matter.
The Highway Superintendent was directed to put up signs of 40 MPH
which would replace the present ones which read "Begin 40 MPH"
until such time that a lower speed limit was approved. He was
also requested to check into the possibility of putting up signs
"Children at Play" and "School Bus Stop" and a sign warning
motorists of the approaching stop signs at Losee Road and Sucich
Place.
The Town Clerk was requested to contact the Law Enforcement Agencies
for records of accidents occurring on Losee Road and write to the
County Executive and Wappinger County Legislators asking for their
support in the matter of a lower speed limit on Losee Road.
Mr. Diehl assured the residents of Losee Road that the Board
would move forward on all the recommendations and thanked them
for their input at the meeting.
A letter was received from Robert and Elizabeth Murphy request-
ing permission to hook up to the Mid -Point Sewer District as
tenants.
MR. JOHNSON moved that this request be forwarded to the Dutchess
County Department of Health for their approval.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Bell wrote to the Town Board regarding a
"Mother -Daughter" apartment in their home at 19 Boxwood Close in
the Town of Wappinger. They sought relief from the Town Board
after being denied a variance for this second dwelling by the
Zoning Board of Appeals. The Bells requested the Board to meet
with them to discuss a possible rezoning of the area.

MRS. MILLS moved that Mr. & Mrs. Bell be invited to the next
work shop session of the Board on November 22, 1982 to discuss
their problem with the Board Members.
Seconded by1Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
A petition was received from residents of Bell -Air Lane and
Orange Court to place "Children at Play" signs in three loca-
tions on Bell -Air Lane ---one at the beginning of Bell -Air -Lane
facing north, one at the intersection of Bell -Air and Orange
Court facing west and a third sign at the end of Bell -Air
Lane facing south.
The Board had no objection to approving this request and Mr.
Croshier asked that they also consider placing such a sign on
Losee Road since this suggestion had been brought up by one of
the residents during the previous discussion.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that the Highway Superintendent be authorized
to place "Children at Play" signs on Bell -Air Lane as recommended
in the petition received from the residents, and also on Losee
Road as requested by the Highway Superintendent.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
A communication was received from Mr. Edward O'Connor, Grants
Coordinator, Dutchess County Department of Planning regarding
the Community Development Block Grant Program. Those municipali-
ties who were participating in the program could now initiate
block grant projects if they met the criteria. IT was now
necessary, Mr. Johnson explained, for the Board to review the
projects with the Engineer and determine if they had a plan to
submit. It was suggested by Mr. Versace that Mr. O'Connor be
invited to the work shop session to discuss these projects further.
MR. VERSACE moved that Mr. O'Connor be invited to the November
work shop session of the Town Board to discuss the block grant
projects that might be available to the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
A request was received to accept a portion of Spring Hill Court
and Cross Ridge Road as Town Roads. A recommendation had been
received from the Highway Superintendent to accept these roads,
however, the Attorney informed the Board that he had not received
the deed, the title policy or the road guarantee bond.
Mr. Johnson recommended that a letter be sent to Mr. Barger
listing the information needed and that action on this matter
be tabled until the Attorney received the necessary documents.
A petition was received from Gino Pullo for the establishment
of a Conservation Park District in his Hamlet Subdivision.
Both Mr. Pullo and his Attorney, Mr. Albert Roberts were present
and discussed some items of the petition with the Town Board
and Mr. Adams, Attorney to the Town. Mr. Versace was concerned
about the work that would be done in the recreation area in
lieu of a fee and it was Mr. Pullo's opinion that this would
be worked out with the Planning Board, Recreation Commission
and the Engineer to the Town before they received final approval.
This was discussed by the Board Members and they determined that
input was needed from the Recreation Commission regarding the
priority work to be done at the recreation area; once this
information was received a meeting would be set up with the
developer and all departments involved.
The petition received from Mr. Pullo reads as follows:
In the Matter of the Petition of
Cobrew Realty Corp.,
for the establishment of a Conservation
Park District in the Town of Wappinger,
Dutchess County, State of New York
To The Town Board, Town of Wappinger,
County of Dutchess, State of New York:
The undersigned, the owner of all the taxable real
property situate in the proposed Conservation Park District
described below, and the owner in Aggregate of all of the
taxable real property in the proposed Conservation Park District,
as shown upon the latest completed assessment roll of the Town,
and there being no resident owner of the taxable real property
in the proposed Conservation Park District, according to the
latest completed assessment roll, hereby petitions as follows:
A. The Town Board of the Town of Wappinger shall
establish a Conservation Park District in the territory known
as The Hamlet, Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York,
which same is situate outside of any incorporated village, and
totally within the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York.
B. (1) The map and plans attached hereto, marked and
designated Exhibit "1" show the boundaries of the proposed
Conservation Park District and a description of the lands to be
included within said Conservation Park District.
B. (2) The lands described in Exhibit "2" attached
hereto and made part hereof describe the lands to be conveyed
by Cobrew Realty Corp. to the Conservation Park District.
C. The Town Board recognizes the maps and plans
have been prepared by Richard G. Barger, Professional Engineer,
duly licensed by the State of New York.
D. The Town Board shall consent to the maximum
amount proposed to be expended and the actual cost of acquisition
of the subject properties shall be none.
E. The Town Board shall apportion the cost of main-
tenance of said Conservation Park District. The cost as assessed
by the Board shall be borne in proportion to the benefit which
each lot or parcel will derive from the system.
MR. JOHNSON moved to accept the petition from Mr. Pullo and
direct the Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution to set
a public hearing on the establishment of the Conservation Park
District.
Seconded by Mr. Diehl
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. Diehl interrupted the Agenda and noted that Sandra Goldberg,
Wappinger County Legislator was present and he asked if she had
anything to report to the Board and the public. Mrs. Goldberg
replied that she was aware that Mr. White had been at the meeting
earlier and felt she had nothing to add to his report. She invited
questions from those present.. but there did not appear to be any
from either the Board Members or the public.
A letter was received from the Planning Board regarding the fee
for the purchase of copies of the newly adopted subdivision
regulations. The Planning Board recommended a $4.00 fee, however,
it was determined after they had set this fee that this would
barely cover the cost of printing.
MR. JOHNSON moved that a fee of $5.00 be set for each copy of
the Subdivision Regulations.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Numerous letters had been received from residents in opposition
to the PASNY proposed 345 KV power lines through the Town of
7
Wappinger and asking the support of the Town Board in this
stand. Mr. Johnson noted that the Town had given this support
and had already forwarded two resolutions to the Power Authority
stating their opposition. He offered a motion to receive these
letters and place them on file. Mr. Versace wished to discuss
the matter further and commented that he had attended an infor-
mational meeting at Ketcham High School and one of the facts
brought out at this meeting was that if these power lines did
go through as proposed, it could destroy the financial situation
of our community based on the fact that many lands would go off
of the assessment roll and some of the assessments on other lands
would be reduced. He recommended that the Town Board reaffirm
the previous resolutions of opposition and forward them to PASNY
and state officials.
MR. DIEHL moved that the Town Board reaffirm their previous
resolutions of opposition to the Mardy-South 345 KV Transmission
Lines by stating that they are against these lines going through
the Town of Wappinger in any shape, way or form and further moved
that the Board requests that any hearings that are planned for
public input should be held in the immediate area of the township
involved.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Two Legal Notices of Public Hearings were received --one from
the Village of Wappingers Falls and one from the Town of Poughkeepsie
on their Zoning Ordinances.
MR. JOHNSON moved to receive these Notices of Public Hearings
and place them on file.

Mr. Hugh Greer had called the Town Clerk and requested to be on
the Agenda regarding permission to fill a parcel of land with
additional soil. He was present and explained that he was in the
process of buying property on the southwest corner of Old Hopewell
Road and had assumed he could fill in the property. After checking
this out, however, he learned that a Special Use Permit must be
issued by the Town Board before he could do this work. Mr. Adams
discussed the procedure and advised Mr. Greer that an application
must be submitted to the Town Board pursuant to Section 441 of
the Zoning Ordinance. It was recommended that Mr. Greer obtain
a copy of this section of the Ordinance and have his engineer
prepare the necessary documents for submission to the Town Board.
Under Committee Reports, Water and Sewer Committee, Mrs. Mills
reported that she and Mr. Versace met with Camo Pollution the
end of October and received a report from them on inflow and

of the work they intended to do. This was received by Mr. Hawksley

The necessary documents had not been received by either the
Attorney or the Town Board on a Tri -Municipal Resolution which
would authorize reconveyance of a deed back to the Town of
Poughkeepsie and the Village of Wappingers Falls.
Mr. Johnson explained that this was in reference to a parcel of
land purchased by the Commission when the four municipalities
were involved; the Town of Wappinger share of that purchase was
$24,000.00. Now that the Town is no longer involved in the
project, the resolution, when adopted, would reconvey the Town
of Wappinger interest in that property back to the participating
municipalities and we would be credited with the same amount
as originally paid.
MR. JOHNSON moved that this resolution be tabled until the next
meeting.

Before proceeding with the Agenda, Mr. Diehl commented that the
Environmental Impact Statement had been received on the Cornell -
Drake rezoning and the Town Clerk had forwarded copies to the
Town Board, the Attorney and the Engineer.
Mr. Versace requested that the Attorney contact consulting firms
to evaluate the Environmental Impact Statement and any other
submitted comments at the expense of the applicant pursuant to
the resolution adopted by the Town Board at their regular monthly
meeting of October 13, 1982.
Mr. Diehl requested that this matter be included on the agenda
of the Special Meeting of November 16, 1982, for consideration
by the Board.
Mr. Adams had requested that the subject of the Moccasin Hill
roads be put on the agenda hoping that he would have necessary
information from the developer's attorney. At this time the
information had not been received and he recommended that it be
tabled until the next meeting.
The bids for Sludge Removal were placed before the Board for
their consideration having been tabled at the last meeting for
further information.
Mrs. Mills recommended that this action be tabled due to the fact
that she had asked the Dutchess County Department of Health to
approve a dumping site on this side of the river which could
change the rates presently being charged.
MRS. MILLS moved that action on awarding the bid for Sludge
Removal be tabled until a decision on a closer site was received
from the Dutchess County Department of Health.

Mr. Gerald Webb, member of the Conservation Advisory Council,
was recognized by the Chair and appealed to the Board to
reconsider their previous decision to postpone the Drainage
Study proposed by Cornell University until clarification of
the outline submitted was received. They could lose this
opportunity if the student who was conducting this study
started another project. He felt that the matter would be
resolved when the Professor met with the Town Board and the
Engineer to clarify the outline of the work and suggested that
funds for the initial outlay be taken from the Conservation
budget in the amount of $2,000.00. A discussion followed on
concerns of the Board of the work that would be done and the
time it would take to do it.
MR. JOHNSON moved that approval be given to the. Conservation
Advisory Council to start the Drainage Study subject to
clarification of the work to be conducted as recommended by Mr.
Lapar, at a sum not to exceed $2,000.00 which would be charged to
the Conservation Advisory Council budget.

Mr. Versace pursued the matter of stream cleaning at 4 Bel -Aire
Lane which had been held up due to the owner's refusal to sign a
release. He pointed out that the new owners would sign a release
and in his opinion, this project should be done since it was
related to the Bel -Aire Drainage Project and had been recommended
by the Engineer.
MR. VERSACE moved that the Highway Superintendent be authorized
to clean the stream at 4 Bel -Aire Lane when the proper release
was signed and further moved that the Attorney be authorized to
prepare the necessary release forms .

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Versace asked the Attorney if he had a status report on
Serenity Mission.
i
MR. Adams reported on a pre -appeal conference held in Brooklyn
at which time
that the Town
the record of
successful in
the attorneys for the bonding companies requested
consent to paying h of the record up front for
appeal which would be reimbursed if we were
the court case. The decision, Mr. Adams continued,
would be up to the Board, however, he recommended against the
Town paying any monies for this record.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that the Town deny the request of paying xi
of the record up front for the record of appeal, as recommended
by the Attorney.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried
The next item Mr. Versace wished to discuss pertained to the
receipt of the appraisal of the Atlas Water System. Mr. Adams
.had contacted the firm that was conducting this appraisal and
informed the Board they should receive this information within
a week.
At the last meeting Mr. Croshier was asked to research the
Highway records for purchase of a 24" pipe that might have
been intended for installation behind Lots #6, #8 and #10
Baldwin Drive. When questioned by Mr. Versace if he had found
any record, Mr. Croshier replied that he had not found a record
of this size pipe purchased at that time. IT was Mr. Versace's
contention that if the Highway had no record and the Engineer
had no record of a contractor doing this job, it was the Town's
responsibility to relieve this problem. Mr. Johnson differed
with this reasoning and felt that it was not the Town's respon-
sibility ---a contractor could have put the pipe in to his own.
The discussion continued but the question still remained as to
who was responsible for the installation of the pipe. Mr. Versace
repeeted that he would like to have some documentation on the
installation of this pipe and until that time, he still felt the
Town was responsible.
Mrs. Mills questioned Mr. Croshier on the installation of all
the equipment in the highway trucks by the Communication Company.
He replied that it was not completely installed but a letter had
been sent to New York Communications from his office inquiring
about the status of the installation of this equipment.
MRS. MILLS moved that a letter be directed from the Town Board
to New York Communications questioning the delay in hooking up
the new equipment in the Highway trucks.
