In connection with the Naro Sub -Division, my clients have deposited with the Town, a certified check in the amount of $45,218.20, as and for the performance bond mentioned above. Since the regulations have changed, my clients now ask that the amount posted be returned and in its place, ,either a commercially available Surety Bond in the same amount, or in the alternative, a letter of credit from the Danbury Savings and Loan Association, Inc.

Thanking you for your attention and early advise in this matter, I am, Very truly yours, s/ Julius Gerzof MR. JENSEN moved that the request from Mr. Tavolacci and Mr. Gerzof be referred to Mr. Rappleyea, Mr. Lapar and Mr. Horton for their review and report to the Board.

(operators of Village Crest Apts.) requesting a 25 MPH on Maloney Rd. from Rt. 376 to east of the apartment complex. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Town Clerk request of the New York State Department of Transportation a speed limit of 30MPH for Maloney Road. Seconded by Mr. Jensen Motion Unanimously Carried A report was received from Camo Pollution Control Inc. recommending that the Engineer to the Town look into the feasibility of install- ing a new chlorinator at the Wildwood Wastewater Treatment Plant, as the model currently in use is an obsolete mode 1. 32 MR. DIEHL moved that the Town Clerk request from Matthew Ryan, Comptroller the amount of available monies in the Wildwood Sewer District before the Board makes any recommendation toward the purchase of a new chlorinator. Seconded by Councilman Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried A report was received from Camo Pollution Control, Inc. regarding a complaint -sewer back-ups at 34 Robert Lane. At the time the back-up was checked they were unable to locate a manhole upstream of #36 Robert Lane. There is a pipe, which appears to be a spur, and Camo wishes to be advised as to the responsibilities in the event of problems with this line. MR. JENSEN moved to refer this to Mr. Lapar, to ascertain what remedial action, if any, can be taken, and what the cost would be to that district. Seconded by Councilman Clausen The following report was received: MEMO TO: From: RE: Gentlemen: Motion Unanimously Carried December 18, 1975 Town Board, Town of Wappinger Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. P.C. Engineer to the Town Vorndran Drive Problem --Mr. Gromyko On June 10, 1974 my office indicated in a memo to the Town Board that the total solution to the Vorndran Drive Storm Drainage Problem would cost approximately $137,000. On November 13, 1974 I met with Mr. William P. Horton on Vorndran Drive and it was suggested that a new inlet basin and line be placed at the western side of Vorndran Drive and run down the south side of Deer Run to an existing drainage stream. A cursory view indicates that the construction, if limited to the above, could be done for approximately $25,000. However, due to the lack of grade in the area and the possibility of additional drainage work beyond that contemplated, it is recommended that a 83 total study of the area be authorized before any decision is made. It is our opinion that this is similar to Oakwood Knolls and Mr. Valvo's problem. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar MR. DIEHL moved to authorize Rudolph Lapar to make a complete study, subject to weather conditions, and advise the Board if this $25,000 will correct the problem, and the pitch is there. Further, request Mr. Lapar to combine this study with Mr. Horton, with regard to Robert Lane, in Oakwood Knolls, specifically in back of the Valvo property for a study. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Motion Unanimously Carried' Notification was received from Mr. Lapar's office regarding several more sewer lines that had been approved in the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area by the Dutchess County Health Department. These lines are now acceptable for use. Mr. Diehl directed that the two reports from Mr. Lapar's office regarding additional sewer lines available for use be received and placed on file. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Clerk to the Water and Sewer Department be directed to send out notifications at the next billing time that all connections are accomplished, and the residents may now hook up. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from Mr. Lapar which references a letter received by him from Mona N. Glanzer, with Rains, Pogrebin & Scher, who are of council to the New York State Association of Land Sur- veyors Inc. Their concern was with pages 17 & 18 of the Town of Wappinger "Street Specifications" which refer to certain certiftpations required by licensed professional engineers. MR. DIEHL moved to refer this matter to Mr. Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried The following report was received: December 19, 1975 Town Board Town of Wappinger Town Hall -Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y.

We have taken care of that problem in the bid and specifications that were awarded to Lafko Associates, Inc. The equipment necessary to repair said pumps has been included as part of said project and it is our agreement with Camo Pollution Control that once those parts are available, they will be placed into the pumps by Camo Pollution Control, Inc. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapax, P.E. MR. DIEHL moved that Mr. Lapar's report be received and placed on file with a copy sent to the operators. Seconded by Mr. Jensen.

Mr. Diehl in turn obtained a verbal okay from the Building Committee to authorize Vincent -Boyle to proceed at the earliest possible time. Mr. Diehl wished to confirm this action. MR. DIEHL moved that the estimate submitted by Boyle Electric Company for repairs to the Town Hall and Offices, for $375.00 be approved and Mr. Boyle instructed to correct the hazards existing in the Town Building at the earliest possible time. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Notice was received from the New York State Department of Trans- portation establishing a 30 MPH area speed limit within the Spook Hill Area - but excluding Spook Hill Road, Losee Road, Myers Corners Road and All Angels Hill Road, MR.

MR. CLAUSEN moved to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Spratt's letter regarding both New Hackensack Road and Old Hopewell Road at their intersection with Route 9, and further ask him if he would check the flooding conditions that exist on New Hackensack Road east of the intersection of Route 9 in the vicinity of Imperial Boulevard and MacDonalds. Seconded by Mr. Jensen Motion Unanimously Carried Notices of Public Hearings were received from the Town of Pough- keepsie for changes to the ;Town of Poughkeepsie Zoning Ordinance to be held January 21st and February 3rd, 1976.

MR. DIEHL moved to refer this matter to Mr. Rappleyea for his interpretation of the Law. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter was received: January 5, 1976 Hon. Louis Diehl, Town Supervisor Town Hall Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, NY Re: Wappinger Park Homes, Inc. Dear Lou: Enclosed herewith please find a photocopy of a portion of the filed map known as Indian Ridge. I have outlined in red the last lot on the left hand side of the street known as Cayuga Drive. This lot is owned by Wappinger Park Homes, Inc. with a notation that it is for a future water storage tank. it has come to my attention that the town is currently using for a portion of this property as a turn around for its maintenance equipment. My clients have no objection to this, however, they are concerned that the town will acquire a perscriptive easement. Therefore, I would propose that the town enter into an easement agreement for the use of part of this property as a turn around for a ten year period at the sum of $1.00. May I respectfully request that this matter be taken up as soon as possi1-)le and certainly within the next thirty days. Trusting thisis satisfactory. Sincerely, Ritter & Hankin s/ Jerard S. Hankin Mr. Diehl commented that he had spoken to Mr. Horton on this matter, and Mr. Horton had indicated several years ago another person had obtained ownership of said land. MR. DIEHL moved that Mr. Rappleyea and/or Mr. Lapar investigate the ownership of'this land so requested to be entered as an ease- ment to the Town. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried The following letters were received: 7 Tanglewood Drive Wappingers Falls, N.Y. January 7, 1976 Town Board Members Town of Wappinger Due to personal reasons, kindly accept my resignation as a part-time clerk to the Town of Wappinger effective Friday, January 9, 1976. It has been a pleasure both working and meeting so many fine people in the course of my duties. For this I am most grateful Sincerely, s/ Ann Marie Albrecht 39' • Town Board Town of Wappinger 7 Tanglewood Drive Wappingers Falls, N.Y. January 12, 1976 In an effort to clarify my decision to resign my position of part-time clerk to the Town of Wappinger, I would like to make a statement. Upon reading in the Poughkeepsie Journal, Sunday, January 4, 1976 that therewas a question as to the need or the lack of a need for a part-time clerk in the zoning department, I was both surprised and embarrassed. Would I have been dismissed if the vote would have gone another Way? I have been an employee of the Town for one and one half years. During this time I have been kept busy and have had nothing but favorable comments from '_oth Mr. Jensen and Mr. Johnson who have had occasion to attend different Town meetings at which I have taken the minutes. I realize with the economy of today, there is need to consider cutting back. If my position has been a consideration toward this end, I believe I should have been made aware of it personally or through my immediate supervisor. I am a wife and mother first, and with a family to consider, I do not wish to be placed in the public eye without being made aware of it first. I realize publicity comes with being employed by the Town of Wappinger, but I do not believe it is fair in this particular instance. Publicity as it was presented in the Pough- keepsie Journal and the Southern Dutchess News raised questions among the people in the area; questions I could not answer. The need for my particular job could be easily investigated if you spend a short time in the zoning, building and planning departments of the Town of Wappinger. I sincerely hope this will be done. I have worked hard for the Town of Wappinger because I have had the motivation and enjoyed my work and all the people at the Town Hall. My immediate supervisor, Ms. Sylvia Anderson has been my guiding light. She has shared me with any other department who needed me at vacation or sick time. She has alwyys lent me a hand when it became confusing or busier than I could handle on my own. I am sorry that I have had to leave her at a time when the new Zoning Ordinance,wiil become a thing of reality, but I feel strongly that I have been done an injustice and would prefer not to place myself in a position such as this again. Respectfully,. s/ Mrs. Ann Marie Albrecht Mr. Diehl commented that neither he nor any member of the Board had any intent of questioning Mrs. Albrecht's work, her past performance was exemplary, no reflection was intended on her personal work, it was merely a question of ascertaining whether the work load necess- itated her being there. He would prefer not to accept Mrs. Albrecht's resignation at this time, but rather, have the Miscellan- eous Committee look into the need of whether a secretary is needed in the Zoning Administrator's office, and if it is found the need is not there, again, it is not a reflection on Mrs. Albrecht. Mr. Johnson stated he had worked with Mrs. Albrecht (Zoning Board of Appeals) and felt badly she had taken tfiis personally. He has already started interviewing all the people involved in an attempt to ascertain if there is truely a need or not. Mr. Clausen felt the initial incident was untimely, and it was unfortunate that the employees of the Town are treated the way they are at times He believed it should have been handled in a more professional manner, discussed amongst the Board rather than in front of the press. He hoped that in the future discussions be held privately first. Mr. Jensen stated that at the Reorganizational Meeting, all he had re- quested was to table that appointment until the Board could have a discussion or a survey could have been accomplished, rather than run into it at that meeting. He too, hoped that the Board, in the future, could sit down and discuss appointments before they are brought before a meeting. A memo was received from Mr. Diehl's office, noting a complaint received in said office from Mrs. Cerbino, 36 Robert Lane regarding her mailbox, which she claimed was hit at the time of the Christmas storm. Mr. Diehl, due to Mr. Horton's absence at tonight's meeting, directed the Town Clerk to again refer the memo to Mr. Horton asking for his decision in investigations of the alleged statement by Mrs. Cerbino that the Highway trucks hit her mailbox. The Recreation Commission had advertized for bids for Baseball equipment and the following recommendation was received: January 12, 1976 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: The Town of Wappinger Recreation Commission recommends that the bid received for Boys, Girls and Men's Baseball Equipment for 1976 be awarded to Letterii Sporting Goods Company. This was the only bid received and the figure quoted is under the budgeted amount. Notal bid amount was $3,296.80. This equipment was put out to formal bid, and although it was sent out to several sporting good companies, Letterii was the only company who brought the bid in on January 7, 1976 at 11:00 A.M., which was the advertised bid opening date. Yours truly, s/ Hugh J. Maurer, Chairman Recreation Commission MR. CLAUSEN moved to accept the recommendation of the Recreation Commission and award the bid to Don Letterrii's Sporting Goods for Boys, Girls and Men's Baseball Equipment for the total bid of $3,296.00. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter was received: Jan. 9, 1976 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: I would like to recommend the following persons to be appointed to the Conservation Council: Mrs. Joseph DeAngelo Mrs. Frances Reese Mr. Lynn Huber In addition I recommend that Mr. Ed Hawksley be appointed co-chairman. Thank you sincerely, s/ Charles A. Cortellino Chairman MR. DIEHL moved to accept Mr. Cortellino's recommendations for 9tI 42 additional names for the Town of Wappinger Conservation Advisory Council and hereby appoint Mrs. Frances Reese, Mrs. Geraldine DeAngelo and Mr. Lynn Huber as members of the Town of Wappinger Conservation Advisory Council with terms ending July 1, 1977, and further appoint Mr. Edward Hawksley as co-chairman to said Council. Seconded by Mr. Jensen Motion Unanimously Carred Under Committee Reports, Mr. Jensen mentioned that all the other participating municipalities, along with Wappinger, received Audit and Control approvals for Tri -Municipal. The Commission has directed the Engineers to move forward with the grant application by forward- ing said approval orders and any other pertinent data to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. This will be done this week, and hopefully, he will be able to report further at the next meeting. Under Resolutions, a proposed Local Law providing for Licensing of Plumbers had been prepared by the Attorney to the Town but was tabled, due to the fact that the Board was looking into other avenues and further reports will be forthcoming. The following report was received: December 29, 1975 Supervisor & Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Re: Connection of Mr. William Wu, Rockingham Farms,Sewer District Gentlemen: This is in response to your letter of December 11, 1975 „ addressed to Mr. John E. Railing, regarding the connection of Mr. William Wu to the Rockinttham Farms Sewer District. This Department has no objection to this connection to the district, since we feel that Mr. Wu's case could best be resolved by such a connection. Such a request is viewed as an emergency request, and future requests of this type will be evaluated on an individual basis. 48 The connection of Mr. Wu to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District does not reduce the number of additional hook-ups that are being allowed pending improvements to the Rockingham Farms Sewer Plant. These 46 lots will still be allowed to connect, in toto, to the plant as agreed-upon improvements are completed. I trust that this answers your questions in this regard. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 485:9826. Very truly yours, Jack Hill Public Health Administrator By s/ William J. Mikula Public Health Engineer Div. Environ. Health Serv. MR. JENSEN moved to grant permission to Mr. William Wu to connect as a tenant to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District subject to the following conditions: 1. The connection is to be made at Mr. Wu's expense, and subject to inspection by the Town Plumbing Inspector. 2. That the tap fee of $500.00 be paid prior to connection to the sewer line. 3. That Mr. Wu agrees to pay double the sewer service charge as that of the district residents. 4. That Mr. Wu agrees that he will become part of any sewer district or sewer improvement area formed in thefuture which would include his property under ordinary circumstances, and he hereby agrees to waive any objections to the formation of such district or improvement area. Seconded by Mr. Clausen The following letter was received: Mr. Louis D. Diehl, Supervisor Wappinger Town Hall Mill Street Wappingers•Falls, N.Y. Dear Mr. Diehl: This letter addressed to Mr. to the Fleetwood Motion Unanimously Carried December 23, 1975 Re: Fleetwood Manor Sewage Treatment Plant is a follow-up to my letter of December 10, 1975 Rudolph E. Lapar concerning proposed improvements Manor Sewage Treatment Plant. In addition to the improvements mentioned in the above refer- enced letter to Mr. Lapar, it is recommended that the exposed wiring leading from the control building t� the sludge pumps be properly insulated and buried. LTT This Department would appreciate a response to this request. If you have any questions in regards to this letter, feel free to call me at 485-9826. Very truly yours, Jack R. Hill Public Health Administrator By: s/ William J. Mikula Public Health Engineer Div of Environ. Health Serv. MR. DIEHL moved that the Town Clerk notify Camo Pollution Control Inc. William J. Mukula, Public Health Engineer Division of Environ- mental Health Services and Mr. William Horton, of the cooperation of Mr. Horton in digging the trench and 8overing it at the Fleetwood Manor Sewage Treatment Plant, and that the now exposed wiring be buried by Camo at a cost quoted by Mr. Cacchio at not more than $200.00. Seconded by Mr. Jensen Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter, having been tabled at the December meeting was placed before the Board. November 19, 1975 Town Board Town of Wappinger Town Hall - Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Downstream Drainage Phase II Gentlemen: In accordance with the Board's direction at the October Town Board meeting, Bill Horton and I met on November 18, 1975 and, after some discussion, recommend the following areas be investiga- ted in Phase II of the eventual Total Town of Wappinger Downstraam Drainage Study: 1. Some 22,000 feet in the New Hackensack Heights- Diddell Road area tributary to the Wappingers Creek. 2. Some 19,000 feet along the southwest branch of Hunter's Creek toward Montclair Apartments, the proposed Stony - kill Mall, and the Chelsea Ridge Shopping Center. 3. Some 18,000 feet along the southeast branch of Hunter's Creek toward the Fleetwood Subdivision. The appropriation necessary to complete this study is $30,000. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. �4 5 lat MR. DIEHL moved that the Town Clerk request of the Town Comptroller Mr. Ryan, a recommendation as to whether funds would be available for the Downstream Drainage Study, Phase II, and report back to the Board at their next regular meeting. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Incoronato being recognized by the Chair questioned why some of these projects were not put to bid. A letter from Kenneth Santos, representing Argan Development Corp. had originally requested to be heard regarding proposed plans for a PUD but had subsequently requested to have hisname removed from the Agenda. The request of Mr. M. Morris regarding a rezoning request was tabled, due to the fact that there would be a re -introduction of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance this evening. Mr. Lynn Huber, being recognized by the Chair requested a financial statement of the funds turned over to the Town at the time of the purchase of the Water and Sewer Plants for. Mid -Point Park (Royal Ridge Development). He wishes to know how -much money is remaining in the account. MR. DIEHL moved to direct Mr. Ryan, Comptroller, to prepare a financial statement of the expenditures of the $25,000.00 donation received by the Town of Wappinger at the time of purchase of the Mid -Point Park Water and Sewer Plants. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Dagney Anderson, being recognized by the Chair, questioned the Board with regard to a letter she had received from Mrs. Sheila Gordon relating to the Tri -Municipal Sewer District. 46 The following Resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR DIEHL who moved its adoption: Section t: The Zoning Ordinance and Map of the Town of Wappinger adopted January 29, 1963, is hereby further amended to read as follows: See the attached "Proposed Zoning Ordinance, Town of Wappinger, New York, revised December, 1975, containing Articles I -Article VII and Copy of Proposed Zoning Map dated October, 1974, revised March 1975 and December, 1975". Section 2: This Ordinance shall take effect upon adoption and publication as provided by Town Law Seconded by Mr. Clausen Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes MR. DIEHL moved that a public hearing be held on March 1, 1976 at 7:30 P.M. at the Wappinger Junior High School Remsen Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York for the purpose of hearing all interested persons on an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance and. Maps of the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes Mr. Incoronato, being recognized by the Chair, commented that he had seen in the papers where Lloyd's Shopping Center, was seeking to put a gas station on their property on Route 9. He mentioned that it would be within 1,000 feet of an existing gas station which would be in violation of the proposed new Zoning Ordinance. He hoped the Town Board would relay this information to the Planning Board to defer any further action on it until the new Zoning Ordinance had its public hearing. Mr. Jensen responded that he believed Lloyd's would have to sub- divide first, since they could not even under present zoning meet the 1,000 feet distance, since Lloyd's property, to the northern boundary is well within this distance. He would assume they would presently be denied on that basis. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Town Clerk and the Attorney to the Town draw up a statement to be delivered the best way possible to the Zoning Board of Appeals that they are made aware of all actions this evening. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried MR. CLAUSEN moved that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Mr. Jensen and unanimously carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:33 P.M. Elaine H.
