A letter was received from Gregory Sarno requesting the status
of the Dana Place Drainage Problem Solution which had been the
subject of discussion at Board meetings for many months. He
concurred with Messrs. Lapar and Horton that the $40,000+ solution
is the only way to permantently resolve the problem.
Mrs. Mills felt they should not close the door on this solution,
but they should keep researching for other solution to alleviate
the problem on Dana Place.
A letter was received from Erwin Becker regarding the establishment
of an Architectural Review Board provided for in the proposed
Zoning Ordinance and offered his services in this regard.
MR. JOHNSON moved that this letter be referred to the Ordinance
Committee for their review.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Saleem Sheredos wrote to the Board regarding the speed. limit
on Losee Road with a petition attached from the residents of that
road -;requesting 1. a reduction in the speed limit to 3Omph,
2. Losee Road be patrolled frequently by town and state law
enforcement officials and 3. divide Losee Road into two dead-end
streets.
Mr. Jensen a-emarked that the Town Board has tried, in, vain,
have the speed limit reduced on ,this road; he requested the Town
Clerk to give specific dates on their previous actions. The first
resolution was sent to New York State Department of Transportation
and Dutchess County Department of Public Works on Aug. 14, 1938,
upon request of the residents, another one in December 1978 and a
letter was received from Commissioner Spratt "in regard to Losee
Road, we feel that the speed at critical locations should be
controlled with warning signs with appropriate recommended speed
handles so that the traveling public is aware of the conditions.
This would be more realistic approach to the control of speed on
that road". Other requests dated back to 1976.
Mr. Jensen recommended that a letter be sent to the State Troopers
and the Dutchess County Sheriff Department requesting patrol of this
road at the critical times.
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Town Board respond to Mr. Sheredos's
letter advising him of our previous actions in dealing with this
matter and send him all the correspondence with the New York State
Department of Transportation and the Dutchess County Department of
Public Works and further that a letter be addressed to the State
with a copy to the County, Dutchess County Executive and Wappinger
County Legislators, stating that we disagree with the County's
kir stand on the speed limit of this road/urging them to study this
matter further to, reduce the speed limit to 30mph, on Losee Road.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Before the vote was taken on this motion, Mr. Horton recommended
that notice be sent to the State with a copy to the County and
ask for the opinion of the State. He disagreed with the County.
He noted that MacFarlane Road was across from Losee Road and had
a much lower speed limit; it didn't make sense to him posting a
higher speed limit on Losee Road than he did on MacFarlane Road.
A letter was received from Robert F. Nardozzi, Attorney represent-
ing Mr. & Mrs. Charles Fountain who are purchasing property on
Losee Road from Mr. & Mrs. Robert Arnold; the problem seems to be
a well located on Town property and Mr. Nardozzi wished to clear
this with the Town so his clients could take possession of the
house and be able to use the well. Mr. Horton felt the Town
should obtain a release from the current owner and this release
would become part of the deed for this property; Mr. Adams con-
curred with Mr. Horton.
,MR. JOHNSON moved to direct the Attorney to the Town to draw up
this release and the Town Clerk contact Mr. Nardozzi informing
him of this action and the fact that the well on the property
owned by the Town can be used by the owners subject to the signing
of this release.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
1224
A letter was received from James Klein regarding the possibility
of obtaining water from the Central Wappinger Water Improvement
to serve his subdivision on All Angels Hill Road which does not
lie within this district.
MRS. MILLS moved to refer this matter to the Engineer.
Before this motion was seconded, Mr. Lapar recommended that this
matter be tabled since there is litigation with one of the
principal's associates.
Mrs. Mills withdrew her motion.
MR. JOHNSON moved to table this request, at the recommendation of
the Engineer to the Town.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
The successful bidder of the Hilltop Well #5 Contract, Wilson
Excavators Inc., by letter to the Town Board, advised them that
because of the length of time involved since the bid was awarded,
they will now have to make a cost adjustment to cover increases
in material and labor costs and further, if the Town plans to
abandon this project, they will seek reimbursement of bonding
tests.
MR. JOHNSON moved to direct the Town Clerk to send a letter to
Wilson Excavators Inc. informing them that the Town has every
intent of proceeding with this project but has been tied up in
bonding procedures to finance said project, and further ask
them what the total cost would be if the work started in sixty
days.

Town Board Members
Town of Wappinger
RE: Enclosed pamphlet on Solid Waste
Dear Board MeMbers:
On Thursday, July 19, 1979, I attended a meeting held by
Dutchess County Solid Waste Committee which was chaired by
Legislator Robert Sears.
21 ti
It appears to me, as of this date, that this is the best idea
I have heard yet.
Basically, the system can put in operation at a cost of
approximately 4 million plus, in a short time and only needs
5 acres of land or less, compared to previous quotes of alternative
systems at a cost of 40 to 60 million, plus land acreage of 100
to 300 acres.
Again, from limited knowledge available at one session, this appears
to be an immediate answer which is within a reasonable dollar figure
and could be instituted in a short period of time.
The important solution to the whole problem is to make an affirma-
tive decision and put the show on the road.
Yours truly,
11601 s/ Louis Diehl, Supervisor
MRS. MILLS moved to receive this letter and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried

requesting a zoning change of his property on Route 9. Mr.
Jensen recognized Dr. Huang who gppealed'to'the Town Board to

Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from the Planning Board informing the Town
Board that they want to hire, at the applicant's expense, another
engineering firm to evaluate the drainage plans and profiles for
the Cranberry Hills Development. Mr. Adams, Attorney to the'Town
responded with the opinion "neither the subdivision regulations
1:_2
in their present forms (as available to me) nor the proposed
revised subdivision regulations contain any provision which
would permit the imposition of this expense upon the applicant,
----under such circumstances, we should attempt, to elicit their
approval".
MR. JENSEN moved to receive this letter and place it on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Alan Lehigh, Chief of the New Hackensack Fire Company wrote
to the Town Board stating that he believed it was necessary for
the developers to submit an architect's drawing, along with a
plot plan, to the town planning board.
MR. JOHNSON moved that this letter be referred to the Building
Inspector and Mr. Lehigh be notified of this action.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from Alan Lehigh, Chief of the New
Hackensack Fire Company expressing concern with the water supply
of Central Wappinger Water.
Mr. Jensen noted that the Orchard Homes Development was low on
water at the time the Fire Company had a drill which lasted 21
hours and used 10,000 gallons of water; however, the indication
was that it was a hydraulic problem, not a supply problem.
Mr. Johnson added that this particular development is law and
has had problems before which has been described in a letter
from Mr. Lapar to the Town Board dated March 21, 1979.
MR. JOHNSON moved that Mr. Lapar be directed to respond to Mr.
Lehigh and explain this situation to him.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
A memo was received from Mr. Ryan concerning increase of water
rates to the Fairchild Corporation since we were losing revenue

Mr. Lapar wrote a memo to Ni. Diehl concerning continual problems
with Neptune Water Meters as follows:
Memo To:
From:
Date:
Subject:
Louis D. Diehl, Supervisor
Rudolph'E. Lapar, P.E.
July 11, 1979
Continual Problems with Neptune Water Meters
After several investigations of blow -outs by your office and
Camo Pollution Control, no pattern of failures has been established.
It is our opinion that in most cases it was due to faulty equipment
or possible neglect by the Homeowner, (i.e. leaving garage door
open during cold spells with meter exposed).
The reason the Neptune Meters were installed, is because they
were either the low bidder and/or only bidders on all contracts
to purchase meters.
Since there now appears to be sufficient reason to no longer
honor the low bidder, the Board could decide, subject to legal
approval of counsel, to buy more expensive meters with better
guarantees. I believe one of our sister Towns' did just that.
The responsibility for manhours and labor expended in replacement
of meters, is a legal question that I certainly, cannot answer.
Respectfully Submitted
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar
MR. JENSEN moved that the Attorney review the subject of faulty
water meters and submit his opinion within a reasonable time.

RE: Zoning violations by Mr. Neave, 66, Spook Hill Road
Dear Board Members:
At your request and as a result of several formal complaints
registered with this office, I investigated whether or not Mr.
Neave:
1221
1. Is running a business from his home.
2. Is dumping debris on vacant lands across from his
residence.
3. Is or has "several" trucks parked at his residence.
4. Is using his gasoline storage tank prior to final
inspections by the Fire Inspector.
5. Is any way letting others use gas from his tank.
The answers to all of the above is no. Specifically, Mr. Neave
does not have a stock in trade at his residence, he has only
one truck. There is no sign on the property and customers do
not come to the residence in connection with his landscaping
business. I have had verbal confirmation from Mr. Neave as
of August 6th that he has not used gas from his tank and is
in the process of devising testing methods for the final test
of the storage tank facility.
Respectfully,
s/ Hans R. Gunderud
Building Inspector &
Zoning Administrator
Mr.Jensen noted that the Zoning Administrator found no violations
on Mr. Neave's property. Mr. Jack Raio, being recognized by the
Chair, disagreed with these findings; he claimed the parking of
commercial trucks on the property is a violation --were they in a
residential or commercial area --the Board acted in haste, a permit
should not have been issued to put in a gas tank. Mr. Jensen
explained that at the time the permit was issued, the Building
Inspector had to ascertain if he would use if for private use
or commercial use. Mr. Gunderud determined that he was not
running a business from his home and he issued the permit within
the guide lines of the law. Mr. Jensen told him the Town can do
no more than they have already done; the Zoning Adainistrator will
keep checking to see if there are zoning violations and if so, they
will be corrected.

Mr. Versace, being recognized by the Chair, asked if this
bonding resolution was for the reports from Mr. Lapar that
had been received and placed on file earlier in the meeting.
Mr. Jensen replied yes, this was for Bel -Aire Storm Sewer
and Widmer Road Culvert.
The next item was an Ordinance regulating water and sewer
service pipes, however, more information was forthcoming from
the Building Inspector's office and the Engineer and the Board
took no action.
MR. JOHNSON moved to table action on this Ordinance until the
next meeting.

Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Clerk had been served with five Tax Reviews, namely:
City of New York, Central Dutchess Nursing Home, Hidden Hollow,

A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board on an
Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Map of the Town of
Wappinger (Rt. 9 Commercial Adjustments), on July 30, 1979, the
matter was now placed before them for their consideration.
Mr. Johnson felt they should not act on this matter tonight as
the new Zoning Ordinance was not in effect and it would be
inappropriate to vote on amendments to an ordinance that is not
a working one.
MR. JOHNSON moved to table action on this matter.

Mr. Hirkala, being recognized by the Chair, asked when the
legal notice was published on this Zoning Amendment. He had
not seen it in the local newspaper and when he called the Town
Hall that day (July 30th) he said he was told there was no public
hearing, just an informational meeting. He always attended these
public hearings and was upset that he was misinformed.
A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board of the
Town of Wappinger on an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance
of the Town of Wappinger Prohibiting Gasoline Storage Tanks in

its adoption:

for Paggi & Martin, Testimony, one in the amount of $3,686.51
for Rudolph E. Lapar, E.B.T.
MRS. REILLY moved that Mr. Ryan be authorized to pay these

Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from Jeffrey R. Otto, Attorney for the
Boards of Commissioners of the Hughsonville Fire District and
New Hackensack Fire District concerning a change in the boundary
lines of these two fire districts. According to Town Law, Section
172-a, a written petition signed by a majority of the members of
the board of fire commissioners of each fire district shall be
submitted to the Town Board and a public hearing must be held.
The Town Clerk had notified the attorneys of this requirement,
but had received no further communication from them.
MR. JOHNSON moved to table this matter.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Johnson reported that they had received tacit approval from
the Department of Interior to use the Castle Point Site for a
landfill for a Fall Clean -Up and possibly the Spring Clean -Up,
since the time has been proposed for approximately one year.
There were conditions attached to this approval and Mr. Johnson
requested that copy of this correspondence be 'given to Mr. Horton
and Mr. Lapar, in order for them to review these conditions and
respond to the Department of Interior.
MR. JOHNSON moved to refer the information from the Department
of Interior to the Town Engineer and Highway Superintendent, and
direct the Highway Superintendent to prepare the site at Castle
Point, upon approval of the Department of Interior and the Dutchess
County Department of Health to use said site for the Town Fall
Cleanup, and possibly a Spring Cleanup .

Mr. Johnson reported that he had contacted EcolSciences, Inc.
for an estimate to prepare a draft Environmental Impact Study
on the proposed Zoning Ordinance. The reason he chose this
firm was because they were presently doing the Study on the
Tri -Municipal District and they were familiar with the Zoning
Ordinance, and he felt this would save the Town both time and
money. The first response from them was not sufficient and Mr.
Johnson requested another proposal and expected to receive it
very shortly.
A discussion followed with Mr. Incoronato, after he was recog-
nized by the Chair, on the procedures the Board was following
with the EIS. He did not agree with the Board with their
intentions of comparing the 1963 zoning Ordinance and the pro-
posed Zoning Ordinance and the application

look at their actions and even if it took longer it should be
done properly, do not look at just the minimum requirements,
go beyond that.
Mr. Johnson met with the Recreation Commission regarding the
report on the Capital Improvement Plan that had been requested
from them. They had questions to discuss with the Committee
and this report would probably be submitted in the next two weeks.
Mrs. Reilly reported that she had met with the architect that was
doing the Space Needs Survey on the proposed Town Hall --she had
received the report and would present it at the next meeting.
Mr. Jensen reporting on Tri -Municipal, stated that the EIS was
still going on, and the Federal Government was coming in with
new PRM's which they feel are required and these are being
studied. The draft EIS is still slated for completion in July
1980 and there will be additional informational meetings probably
in September of 1979 and they will be looking for additional
input from the four communities involved.

Under unfinished business, reports were received both from
Mr. Lapar and the Dutchess County Department of Health giving
approval for tie-in to the Wildwood Sewer District by Mr. & Mrs.
Ralph Leed at 113 New Hackensack Road. Mr. Lapar noted that
the tenant's policy is in effect for all districts and would
apply in this case. Mrs. Mills remarked that before she voted
on this matter she would like to know what the policy stated.
The Town Clerk informed the Board that the policy states that
the tenant pay a $500.00 fee, all expenses are their expenses,
and the O&M rates will be double the normal rates,, plus the $25.00
hook-up fee and possibly a fee for a road opening permit if this
is necessary. An agreement is drawn up with these conditions
clearly defined and the tenant must sign this agreement before
the permit is issued.
MRS. MILLS moved that the Leeds be allowed to tie in to the
Wildwood Sewer District subject to fees as follows: $500.00 hook-up
fee, double O&M rates, $25.00 tap fee, and road opening fee if
deemed necessary by Highway Superintendent, in this case, it
would have to be obtained from the Dutchess County Department
of Public Works and agreement to be signed by Mr. & Mrs. Leed.

Mr. Johnson reported that they had met with Mr. Seymour Arkawy
on the Watch Hill Water District to discuss bulk rates but did
not make progress. However, leaks that have been causing a
major problem have been found and repaired by now; when the
next billing goes out they will know if this had any effect on
the amount of consumption and if the rates will be affected.
Mr. Incoronato, being recognized by the Chair, asked about a
report he read on a landfill for inorganic material to be opened
by the airport. Mr. Jensen informed him this was a County project,
and he felt the Town of Wappinger had done their job with landfills,
there are other sites they could place such a landfill. We have
no other information since Mr. Pagones, County Legislator could
not attend this meeting tonight.

MR. JOHNSON moved to direct a letter to Mr. Erichsen, from
U. S. Cablevision requesting that he televise the Town of
Wappinger Community Day, September 9, 1979, as stated in their
memorandum to Town Officials stating that they would like to
televise local functions.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Jensen requested Mr. Horton to check on the area of
Ketchamtown Road off of Route 9D where there is a bad curve
and if signs are not alteady installed, would he please put
warning signs there; he had received complaints on this.
If one is already there, it seems it is too far a distance
from where the curve is. Mr. Horton replied he would check
this out but a sign must be 450' before the curve.
