1976 Regular Monthly Meetings, as submitted by the Town Clerk be
and they are hereby approved.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen
Motion Unanimously Carried
Reports for the month of April were received from the Supervisor,

the Annual Report from Town Justice Francese were also received.
MR. CLAUSEN moved to accept all the reports and place them on file.
r-- Seconded by Mr. Johnson.
Motion Unanimously Carried
At this time Supervisor Diehl officially presented to the Town Clerk,
a framed copy of the Original Notice calling a mass meeting of all
the electors of the Town of Wappinger to be held February 19, 1876,
for the purpose of making nominations for Town Officers to be elected
14
at the first Annual Election for said Town. This Notice was given
to Mr. Diehl by Mr. George Gill, Vice Presidnet of the Poughkeepsie
Savings Bank (the original of which is still in Mr. Gills' possession.
Mr. Diehl presented it to Mrs. Snowden as Town Clerk, who is respon-
sible for receiving all records of the Town of Wappinger.
Connie Smith, Chairperson for the Bicentennial, on behalf of the
Bicentennial Committee and citizens of the Town of Wappinger
presented to Mr. Diehl the Certificate of Official Recognition
accorded to the Town of Wappinger for designation as a Bicentennial
Community. Supervisor Diehl accepted the Certificate on behalf
of the Town and in turn presented it to the Town Clerk.
At this time, Supervisor Diehl indicated that Item 7, Resolutions,
would be first considered on the Agenda, due to the fact that there
might not be a full Board sitting throughout the meeting. (This
was Mr. Diehl's first meeting after extended hospitalization).
The first Resolution presented for consideration was for the
purchase of property from the Childrens Aid Society off Sheafe Road
for Tri -Municipal.
Mr. Clausen, stated, as he had informed the members of the Board
prior to the meeting, that he was not ready to vote on this Resolution
this evening for several reasons. One being that, in talking to
Councilman Versace, who has indicated in the papers that he was
voting against the Resolution, it's his belief that the Board has
to understand all facets of Tri -Municipal, and if one out of the
two members on the Tri -Municipal Committee cannot agree amongst
themselves as to the correctness of the project as it stands, it
puts the rest of the Board in a position of confusion. One thing
that bothers him is that residents that live outside of a sewer
district would like to know the time table as to when they would
be able to hook in and be served by Tri -Municipal, when and if it
16,
1 3
becomes a reality and they can't answer. Another concern is the
rate structure may not be the proper rate structure that is one
that is uniform throughout the Town. It may be that residents
coming in after Tri -Municipal is passed, with their own lateral
districts may be prohibitive, and if we're telling people to
support a project, which we all think we need, and all think is
the right way to go, the only question we have is cost. If we
don't have some type of figures to give these residents to show
them that they also have a part to play in this, that they can,
by cost figures, obtain sewer, then I think we're neglecting that
area of the Town. In talking with Mr. Versace he asked him if he
was against Tri -Municipal or whether a meeting either with Mr.
Prevost or the Town Board again to.get some type of a master plan
going - possibly bid out the engineering work - where do we go
after Tri -Municipal - would he be willing to support Tri -Municipal.
His Answer was he was not against Tri -Municipal project , is willing
to talk to anyone, when and if certain answers are forthcoming, he
also would like to support Tri -Municipal. He can't see forcing the
issue tonight, force Mr. Versace to vote against•it, because there
are some questions he does not have answers for, and some answers
Mr. Clausen, himself does not have the answers for, and make such
a worthwhile project go down. If the vote is forced this evening
he will abstain, and Mr. Versace will vote NO and four votes are
necessary. He asked the Board, therefore, to table the Resolutions
concerning Tri -Municipal and reconsider some more meetings and more
information that might be obtained. Mr. Jensen commented that it's
not just the Town of Wappinger that's involved in this project, it's
a regional approach to the sewer problem in this area. All through
this project, no one has doubted the facts that we have to get to
the Hudson River. The cost to go anyplace else., the individual
sewer plants we have now, to go it on their own would certainly be
prohibitive, and he would dare say to delay Tri -Municipal for a
year as has been suggested, the grant aid would no longer be available.
14�
The two dangers are a wait and see attitude, and loose the aid
package, the other is, what are the alternatives to the problems
of our area. The new regulations that will be enforced for existing
and future sewage treatment plants will put a gigantic burden on
the residents, and to go to the river some day would certainly be
prohibitive for them. He therefore urged all the Board to vote
in Tri -Municipal tonight. Mr. Versace stated that he is not in
disagreement with Tri -Municipal as a whole, not in disagreement
that this is the way to go to get rid of the sewage, he has been
in disagreement with the cost factors. He feels obligated to the
residents to supply them with real cost factors of the project.
Mr. Johnson commented on the pure waters act and the fact that the
State and County had been lenient with the Town due to the fact
that Tri -Municipal system would be the vehicle to rectify existing
violations. The discussion continued, gravitating to the cost
issues. Mr. Versace asked Mr. Rappleyea if the formula used in
the Audit & Control report for benefit assessment could be changed
by the Town Board, upon which Mr. Rappleyea answered yes. He then
asked if the Board would be in agreement, if Tri -Municipal is passed,
that the benefit assessment charge would be equalized amongst all
the residents in the community irregardless of the distance involved.
If this is going to benefit the whole community, for the future, then
he is sure that the residents that do not have lateral districts at
this time would be willing to pay an equal amount of benefit charge
that the direct users would have. He believes it should be spread
out throughout the community as equally as possible so that the
burden doesn't fall on the immediate users. If this is to benefit
the whole Town of Wappinger he thinks the whole community should pay
an equal portion of the charge. He thought that this should be a
commitment of the whole Town Board, this should clear the air on the
cost factors involved. The discussion continued and culminated in a
request by Supervisor Diehl to Mr. Jensen (Chairman of the Tri -Munici-
pal Committee) to hold up the resolutions this evening in order to
k.#
145
attempt to set up a meeting in Albany with the proper officials,
within 10 days after which a Special Meeting could be called to
consider these Resolutions. Mr. Jensen agreed to set up the
requested meeting if there would be a guarantee that this meeting
will come off when it is called and a full Board meets with the
Albany officials within the next ten days, under these conditions
also agreed to withhold offering Resolutions on Tri -Municipal
tonight.
Mr. Diehl, with reference to Item #3 under Resolutions indicated
that part of the Board had met on the proposed Zoning Ordinance with
Clark Associates, and the several proposed changes were submitted
to them. Clark Associates have assured him the revised map and
new changes in the Ordinance will be completed about the first of
June. When these are received, a special meeting will be called
to set a Public Hearing on them, and hopefully in a matter of days
the new Zoning Ordinance can be adopted. Mr. Versace stated he had
been prepared to vote on the proposed Ordinance tonight, as it was
presented at the March Public Hearing. He stated he was not in full
agreement with all of the subsequent changes, but would vote for a
Public Hearing and the Proposed Zoning Ordinance only because then
at least the Planning Board and Zoning Board will have something to
go on.
A vacancy has occurred on the Recreation Commission due tothe
expiration of the term of office held by Mary Schmalz.
tie The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN CLAUSEN who
moved its adoption:
RESOLVED, that Mary ficamalz be and she hereby is appointed
to fill the vacancy on the Recreation Commission of the Town of
Wappinger which has occurred by reason of the expiration of the
term of Mary Schmalz, and it is further
RESOLVED, that the said Mary Schwalz is hereby appointed
to the said Town Recreation Commission for a term which shall
expire May 1, 1981.

The following Memo was received:
April 30, 1976
MEMO TO: Town Board Members
FROM: Matthew W. Ryan, Comptroller
RE: Transfers from Surplus to General Fund
According to the laws that pertain to government borrowings,
certain repayment schedules must be adhered to in repayment of the
borrowings.
When the Budget was made out, only Ten Thousand Dollars was
allocated for principal reduction for our Drainage Bonds, This is
only half enough.
I am enclosing a sample resolution to be passed by the
Town Board so that I can transfer the funds and make the appropriate
payments on May 17, 1976.
Mr. Versace indicated he had no objection to transferring the
monies, he did, however, question where the surplus money is
coming from. Mr. Diehl suggested then that the request be rejected
and sent back to the Comptroller for more information.
MR. VERSACE moved that the resolution be sent back to the Comptroller
for more information.
Motion Failed, Lack of a Second
Mr. Versace agreed to move the resolution with the understanding
that in the future the Comptroller supply more detailed information
on the source of the surplus monies.
The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN VERSACE who
moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, during the present fiscal year, this Town has
received town moneys from sources other than loans in the amount
of $15,000.00, which are not otherwise committed or appropriated;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that $15,000.00 of said "surplus moneys" be and
hereby is transferred to the Debt Service-Principal-BAN's, B9730.6
fund or appropriation account, and that the amount heretofore
appropriated for such purpose be and hereby is increased to $25,000.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen.
Motion Unanimously Carried
A report had been received from Mr. Lapar regarding the drainage
problem in the vicinity of Mr. Gromyko's property in the area of
Vorndran Drive and Deer Run. Mr. Gromyko stated he had spoken
with Mr. Lapar a week or so ago and was informed that it would
14
cost in the neighborhood of $15,000 to fix the problem of water
coming down Vorndran Drive. He hopes the problem can be resolved
this evening or in the near future.
The following report on this matter was read:

Re: Vorndran Drive, Deer Run Drainage
Problem - Gromyko Property
Dear Board Members:
In examining the above drainage problem, we have found that a
15" pipe may be constructed along Deer Run from its intersection
with Vorndran Drive to the existing stream. The stream should
also be cleaned from Deer Run south approximately 1,000 feet.
The total construction costs for this project would be approxi-
mately $15,720.00.
If you require any further information, please call this office.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
s/ Joseph E. Paggi, Jr.
Eng.
Mr. Diehl stated that he had checked with the Comptroller today
and that amount of money is available for this project, if the
Board so desires to move the project. Mr. Jensen stated that he
didn't know if they were ready to move it, as it hasn't been tho-
roughly discussed by the Board in its entirety, and he believes the
whole question of drainage in the area has to be discussed along
with others that have been brought up. Some discussion followed
on the technicalities of this proposed construction.
Mr. Clausen would move the expenditure of the $15,720.00 item to
correct the drainage that has been before the Board for a couple of
years, with the understanding that before the bid is released that
the Town Board be aware of exactly what this particular drainage
problem consikts of as far as where the water goes, see the plans
and maps before bids are advertised.

The following report was received:
May 4, 1976
Town Board
Town Hall
Mill Street
Wappingers Falls, New York
Gentlemen:
As you undoubtedly are aware, the legislature adopted an
amendment to the Environmental Conservation Law regarding fresh
water wet lands. This law involves wet land areas, as the same
may be designated on a wet lands map as to be formulated by the
Department of Environmental Conservation.
15j
It will generally apply to areas at least 121 acres in size,
although there will probably be exceptions. It involves a very
elaborate permit system with notification to adjoining owners
before any work could be performed in such designated wet lands.
The Town may elect to enforce these procedures, or it may
defer such enforcement to the County. .If the County does not
elect to adopt the permit system, then the State Department of
Conservation will. If the Town is going to elect to adopt the
wet lands act, it must do so before September 1st, 1976. The
Town should seriously consider the impact upon its' manpower needs,
and then make a decision as to what it would like to do.
kiro If you have any further questions on this matter, please let
me know.
liw
Very truly yours,
Corbally, Gartland & Rappleyea
s/ Allan E. Rappleyea
Mr. Diehl commented that, with regard to the wetland act, the
Town is going to check with the County and see whether the County
is moving in the direction to take care of and react to this and
are they better equipped to handle it than the Town. Therefore,
no decision will be made on this matter tonight.

Memo To: Town of Wappinger Town Board
From: Town of Wappinger Zoning Board of Appeals
Date: April 14th, 1976
Subject: Proposed Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Board of Appeals would like to take this
opportunity to express their concern regarding certain areas
of the proposed Zoning Ordinance.
Their first concern pertains to Section 416.52 regarding
free-standing signs. The Zoning Board of Appeals feels that
there should be a maximum limit on square footage of signs rather
than basing this figure on building size.
The second area of concern is in regard to no specific
sideline requirements in the NB and GB districts. The Zoning
Board of Appeals would like to suggest that a minimum requirement
of twenty feet be set to provide access for emergency vehicles
such as fire fighting apparatus, ambulances, etc.
The Zoning Board of Appeals would also like to have an
opportunity to meet with your Board at some mutually convenient
time prior to the final adoption of the Zoning Ordinance.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Diehl agreed that the first concern of the
Planning Board regarding signs has already been addressed to
F.P. Clark Associates, the second, regarding minimum setbacks in
NB and GB Districts had not.

which has subsequently been approved by all of the mtmber civic
associations:
"The Wappinger Association of Residents Inc. recommends to the
Wappinger Town Board that no sanitary land fill operation be
permitted in the Town of Wappinger".
This recommendation does not refer in any way to bale -fill
operation. The association, known previously as the Town of
Wappinger Civic Association, was formed in June, 1975 and
currently has a mem1--ership of twenty miw residents and three
(large) civic associations in our town.

of Mr. and Mrs. Grierson, to which he indicated that the County
will take steps to remedy their complaint. The second was in
response to Mrs. Gutmann's request to the Town Board for no parking
signs along New Hackensack Road. Mr. Spratt informed the Board
that the County cannot establish parking limits, this rests com-
pletely with the Town and Village in this case.
Supervisor Diehl requested that the Highway Committee (Messrs.
Clausen and Jensen) meet with the Village Highway Commission and,
through a joint effort, initiate a no parking area requested by
Mrs. Gutmann.
Mr. Clausen recommended copies of these correspondences be sent to

Re: Analysis of Town -Owned Water Systems
for Various Pressure Criteria
Gentlemen:
y 58
As per the request of the Town Board, my office has investigated
the areas of pressure problems in the Town (i.e. those areas less
than 20 psi, between 20 psi and 25 psi, and those 25 psi to 30 psi).
The results of our investigations are as follows:
1. Oakwood Knolls Subdivision Water System: Pressure test on
hydrant at the intersection of Robert Lane and Myers Corners
Road yielded a pressure of 35 psi. Since this is the apparent
high point in the system, no pressure problems are anticipated.
2. Fleetwood Subdivision Water System: Pressure tests on hydrants
at Barbara Lane and Kretch Circle produced pressures of 35 psi each.
Since these are the apparent high points in the system, no pressure
problems are anticipated.
3. Orchard Homes Water System of the Central Wappinger Water
System: This system was recently tied to the CWWI and we have
experienced some problems due to the leaking of a valve in the original
system when the original system was abandoned. We have since opened
the leaking valve and allowed the storage pressure tank to ride on
the system and act as the valve to the original system. It is our
recommendation that pressure reducing valves be placed in all homes
requiring them.
4. Mid -Point Park System of the Central Wappinger Water System:
After being tied into the CWWI System and the original well and
supply system abandoned, all pressure problems Yale been alleviated.
5. Tall Trees Water System: See attached map.
6. Rockingham Farms Sytem of the Central Wappinger Water
Improvement: See attached map.
7. Dogwood Hill Road and Top O'Hill Road - Sections of the Central
Wappinger Water System: See attached map.
Pressure determinations were made by taking pressure tests at key
hydrants and then relating these pressures by use of a contour map
to find low pressure lots.
Very truly yours,
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E.

Mr. Jensen commented that Orchard Homes being the most likely for
consideration, new homes were automatically put on pressure reducing
valves, but in the old systems that were hooked in to this new
system, no provisions were made to install these valves. It's the
feeling of the Board that the Town should purchase these reducing
valves for those old systems that Central Wappinger Water bought
out , have them on hand, and the homeowners could install them
themselves if they so desire.
MR. DIEHL moved that the Town take on,the responsibility of
purchasing the pressure reducing valves to have on hand for the
residents of Orchard Homes for installation by those individuals
so desiring, at their personal expense, and further that there shall
be no permit fee for such installation.

A memo was received from Mr. Lapar regarding other considerations
if drainage pipe, proposed for New Hackensack Road, is ever installed.
The entrance road into the existing Wildwood Sewage treatment plant
would be effected and some thought should be given to increasing
the size and redesign of the drainage pipe entering this plant.
Mr. Diehl directed the letter be received and placed on file.
A letter was received from. J. E. Paggi Jr. from Mr. Lapar's office
indicating their office had reviewed Mr. William Wards surface
water problem (Dogwood Hill Road) in front of his house, and con-
cluded that the cause was ground water flow, and not a leak in the
water main.
Mr. Diehl, from discussions with Mr. Horton and Mr. Lapar, had
concluded that this problem had arisen only after the water mains
had been installed. A spring was probably distrubed during excava-
tion. The matter was turned over to Mr. Horton, as the ground flow
may present problems in the winter with the road.
MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Town Board send a letter to Mr. Ward,
indicating that the Engineer to the Town and the Highway Superinten-
dent will investigate thecostfigures as to what it would cost to
alleviate his problem. Any further questions should be directed to
them.

A report was received from Mr. Lapar regarding the occurrence of
freezing in the water storage tank on Maxwell Place - Rockingham
Farms section of Central Wappinger Water. He suggests that the
present sensing device be removed and a Pressure Sensing Device
01110 installed in a below ground concrete chamber. This system works
solely on the water pressure and has no sensors in the tank to
be complicated by the icing conditions, and he can find no economi-
cal alternative to eliminating the icing.
MR. JOHNSON moved that Rudolph Lapar be directed to contact the
company or manufacturer who installed the present sensing device,
and request cost estimates for installing the Pressure Sensing
Device, and if there would be a rebate on the existing device
since the Town isn't satisfied with the present conditions of the
system.

Under Committee Reports, Mr. Versace noted that Sylvia Anderson,
Zoning Administrator had written the Town Board about garbage found
along side the road and in Town Recreation Areas. She has taken
it upon herself to contact M&G Sanitation to pick up this accumulated
garbage since the Town has no way of getting rid of it. She requests
that the Town bid out to local carters, so that when and if accumu-
lated garbage is found they can come in and pick it up. A dumpster
Ohre
could be placed at the Highway Department so when garbage is found
160 it could be put in and carted away. This seemed only part of a
larger problem - what to do with the solid type of debri - refrig-
erators etc. and brush, grass, etc., The Board will have to look
at what options they have and what they want to do with this type
of materials. Mr. Rappleyea felt that it couldn't bid out any-jybs
where the decision making process would be left to the contractor
or some third party. There could be a budget appropriation and
delegate that to some Town office. It was agreed to discuss the
matter further on May 20th, and invite the County Representatives
to be present to discuss the solid waste problem with the Board.
Mr. Jensen reported that there would be a Tri -Municipal meeting
Thursday and -they would be reviewing the status of the grant applica-

Olh/ Mr. Lapar and the Boardcan be set up in the near future, within

Mr. Johnson reported that he had attended a meeting with the
Board of Governors when the bids were opened for the miscellaneous
items left over at the landfill site. Most of the items were awarded
the City and Town of Poughkeepsie. Some items left, hand tools, etc.
would be reconsolidated into another list and disposed of somehow.
The Town's share of the close-out of the landfill would come to
somewhere just under $20,000.00 which will have to be disbursed
by July.
Mr. Johnson also reported that he had attended a meeting of the
. Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County Transportation Coordinating Committee,
a regional f.ype committee that is being formed that will coordinate
for Dutchess County a large dollar volume of various types of
transportation. There will be two committees set up. The Policies

the cities of Poughkeepsie and Beacon - the Town Supervisors of
Poughkeepsie, Wappinger and Fishkill and the Region 8 Director
of the New York State Department of Transportation. The second
committee will be the Technical Committee that will be represented
