Re: Water Well Site, Rockingham Farms Subdivision
Dear Supervisor Diehl and Members of the Town Board:
In response to the question of flood waters inundating
the Rockingham Farms water supply, the following data is
submitted to eliminate concern regarding this possibility:
1. Design data submitted by the Town of Wappinger--
flood plan elevation 266.0'.
2. Design data on well casing installation approval
with subdivision approval - top of casing elevation
268.0'.
3. Field survey data:
Sprout Creek water elevation
Ground elevation at casing
Top of casing elevation
259.2
261.5
270.2
Thus it can be seen that the well casings extend 4.2 feet
above the Town established flood elevation and 2.2 feet above
the design elevation.
I hope this data answers any question which may have concerned
the Town Board in this matter.
Very truly yours,

Re: Recreation Area - Rockingham Farms Subdivision
Dear Supervisor Diehl and Members of the Town Board:
In compliance with the conditions of approvals granted
Schoonmaker Bros., Inc. on June 30, 1966, all lands set aside
for the purpose of recreation will be restored to their original
elevation and dedicated to the Town of Wappinger. The attached
map displays the 11.49 acre parcel set aside for this purpose.

Very truly yours,
s/ Robert M. Field
Sr. Vice Pres.
Mr. Rappleyea quoted exerpts from these, and on the third letter,
which dealt with the storm drainage system, he summarized, indi-
cating the letter mentioned that although the system installed has
more pipe installed, there were changes in grade, which cause
deviations from the original plan; then a review of the various
weather conditions, and finally a discussion of the engineering
27
The fine grading to bring this recreation land to its final
grade has already been started. In addition to that basic require-
ment, Schoonmaker Homes, Inc. has also shaped an approximate
100'.x200' ice skating pond on the property. The grading which
will restore the property to its original elevation (with the
exception of the skating pond) as required by the approval letter
of June 30th, 1966 was started in late 1973 and was discontinued
due to inclument weather.
As has always been Schoonmaker Homes' stated intentions, the
final restoration and dedication of the recreation property will
be the last step of land improvement in Rockingham Farms, follow-
ing all other land improvement and house construction. It would
presently seem realistic to say that the recreation lands would
be completed and dedicated in the Summer of 1974.
aspects of the development and a request that in order to solve
the problems brought up by the Town Board with respect to the
particular problems, and experienced flooding problems in the
last series of storms, they (Schoonmaker) would like to develop
certain alternatives, which while they are not in the original site
plan, they believe would solve the problems with respect to their
homes. They say they will report to the Town Board within 30 days
of their recommendation and conclusions.
MR. CLAUSEN moved that the 3 letters from Schoonmaker Homes, Inc.
be referred to the Engineer to the Town for his observance and
comment, and further, the one document on recreation be sent to
the Town of Wappinger Planning Board as well as the Recreation
Commission for their comment.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen.
Motion Unanimously Carried
'Mr. Clausen thanked Mr. John Steinberg for coming out this evening.
The Board did call a rather short meeting, as far as Mr. Steinberg
was concerned, he was there Friday night, and he stood by his
commitment coming in with his report on rather a short period of
time. He thanked him for his cooperation and said that hopefully
in the future, these problems can be resolved.

Re: Pine Hollow - Proposed Planned Unit Development of Property
Located off DeGarmo Hill Road and Myers Corners Road.
Gentlemen:
Attached are copies of the Land Use Study and Sketch Plan
for the proposed Planned Unit Development known as Pine Hollow.
The Planning Board of the Town of Wappinger herewith renders
their favorable report on the proposed Planned Unit Development.
The Planning Board favors the concept presented in the sketch
plan and land use study as they feel it meets area wide and local
needs and conforms to accepted design principals.
The Land Use Study provides information on services and
utilities and the Planning Board agrees with the information that
is presented in the study.
The Planning Board would like to recommend that the Town
acquire twenty to twenty-five acres of land on the north end of
the property and that this area be restricted for recreational
use. The applicant has indicated a willingness to do this provided,
however, that the type of development of the park property is in a
mutually agreeable manner.
The Planning Board respectfully requests that the Town Board
review the application under the Planned Unit Development Ordin-
ance and recommends that your Board schedule a public hearing for
the purpose of considering PUD districting.
Respectfully yours,
s/ Betty -Ann Geoghegan Secr.

Planning Board
Mr. Saland questioned Mr. Rappleyea regarding this, stating that he
had the Planning Board report in front of him, and considering
that the_ Board was presently contemplating an amendment in the
present PUD ordinance, he believed there was some problem with the
2.9
particular report, in that the present ordinance refers to report
by the Planning Board and, for the duration of this PUD ordinance
that the. Town is now operating with, he would like to see a detailed
report pursuant to the present PUD ordinance. His question was what,
if any, action should be taken on this report at this time in the
absence of a perhaps more detailed report from the Planning Board.
Mr. Diehl asked if it was possible to the Planning Board for a more
detailed report. Mr. Rappleyea believed it could be done if the
%r Town Board feels the report does not contain all the information
they would like to see. It would be incumbent upon the developer
to require these various stages set forth in the ordinance. There
are certain time limitations but if the Board wishes not to follow
those the only thing that could happen would be that the developer
could force the time limitations. Mr. Saland commented that he saw
no evaluation by the Planning Board of any kind of environmental
impact by placing this particular proposed PUD in this area between
DeGarmo Hills and Royal Ridge. He would like to see more detailed
reports if that is really in the realm of the Planning Board, and
he certainly feels that it is.
MR. SALAND moved that the report of a proposed Planned Unit Devel-
opment of property located off DeGarmo Hills Road and Myers Corners
Road (Pine Hollow) be returned to the Town of Wappinger Planning
Board for a more detailed report, pursuant to the Town of Wappinger
PUD Ordinance, in that their initial report to the Town Board showed
011110
no evaluation of any kind of the environmental impact of placing
this particular PUD in this area between the DeGarmo Hills and Royal
Ridge developments.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen.

A letter was received from Camo Pollution Control Inc., regarding
an inspection that was held by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation of the Oakwood Knolls and Rockingham
Farms sewerage treatment plants, December 4, 1973. Mr. Caccio
indicated that the =State .did not indicate any major discrepancies,
but did make a few recommendations for both plants(listed in the
communication), which he felt could be carried out by Mr. Waddle,
if funds were available.
MR. CLAUSEN moved the report from Camo Pollution Control, Inc.
be received and placed on file.

Gentlemen:
The Zoning Board of Appeals would like to take this oppor-
tunity to request that the Ordinance with regard to building permits
be reviewed and that it be required that foundation surveys are
made before any further construction on buildings is done.
In requiring this, the Zoning Board of Appeals feels that
this will alleviate the need for variances after the buildings
have been constructed and are then found to be in violation of
the setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully yours,
s/ Betty -Ann Geoghegan, Secr.
MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Zoning Board of Appeal's request be
referred to the attorney and engineer to the Town and Building
Inspector for their clarification and review.

We presently have a 50,000 gallon per day allotment of water and
would like to submit a request for an additional allocation of

Gentlemen:
Re: Request of Fairchild Semiconductor for
additional 50,000 gallons per day of water
We recently received a request from the Semiconductor Division
of Fairchild Camera & Instrument Corp. for an additional 50,000
gallons per day of water from the recently formed Central Wappin-
ger Water Improvement.
Since this allocation is within the design criteria allotment
for an industrial site, we have no objection to this additional
allotment being granted.,
However, I strongly recommend that any additional large
allotments to commercial or industrial users in or out of the
confines of the Central Wappinger Water Improvement not be granted
until a firm contract for the purchase of water from the City of
Poughkeepsie and the Town of Poughkeepsie is consummated:
Although it is estimated
necessary until after 1990, I
tracts should be completed so
lbw water to large users at below
that the above source will not be
believe that negotiations and con -
that the Town does not sell the
future costs.
Very truly yours,
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E.
Mr. Diehl commented that as he read Mr. Lapar's report it was
recommending the request be honored, and that the Board immediately
start negotiations with the City and Town of Poughkeepsie. Mr.
Lapar believes that it would be advisable to negotiate before there
is a necessity and sources are limited. Mr. Diehl stated that there
appeared to be two actions to take, first on the Fairchild request,
and second, he feels should be turned over to the sewer and water
committee, Mr. Lapar1and Mr. Rappleyea4to initiate negotiations
with the City ofPoughkeepsieand the Town of_ Poughkeepsie.
Mr. Reilly asked if there was some reason not to refer this (Fair-
child's request) to the New York State Board of Review Board of the
State Water Commission to increase their consumption. He wondered
if the existing tanks can handle what is being used right now, and
an additional 50,000 a day. Mr. Lapar answered Mr. Reilly. Mr.
Rappleyea commented that he doesn't want to be misleading that the
Town at this time cannot contract with this company for this supply
even though although they are asking, they are still the customers
of Hill Top Water Works Corp. and the Town has not yet taken over
Hill Top Water Works Corp. This request is prospective in nature
and contingent upon the acquisition of the.,site by the Town, or some
other arrangement. Secondly, to a degree, approval has already
given by the Department of Environmental Conservation for the pro-
posal in its entire. concept - the whole Central Wappinger Water
Improvement, Mr. Lapar would have to make the determination whether
this would require more pumping and taking more water out of the
ground than the present application approved. Mr. Lapar in his
report has indicated that it fits within the design criteria.
MR. JENSEN moved that the request of Fairchild Semiconductor for
50,000 additional gallons of water a day, be granted, even though
it is academic at this time, since the. Town does not own the water-
works.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen.
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Saland raised one final question, that being, was there any-
thing more to be done now than to advise Fairchild that the Board
will consider their request. We're not going into contract, is
there any need to make the commitment to them at this point. Mr.
Rappleyea said that any action the Board would take would simply
be to express its general intentions as a guidance for them with-
out any binding effect upon this Town Board.
3 3
On the second part of Mr. Lapar's recommendation, Mr. Diehl appointed
the Water and Sewer Committee - Messrs. Versace and Jensen, along
with Mr. Rappleyea and Mr. Lapar to investigate and initiate arrange-
ments with the Town of Poughkeepsie and City of Poughkeepsie on
another possible source of water.
A letter was received from Vincent Kelley, Engineer to the Rocking-
ham Farms Sewer District, regarding final payment of the Hall & Co.
bill for the Sandfilters at Rockingham Plant.
Mr. Clausen stated that the Town Board was contemplating a business
meeting one day a month, and he thought Mr. Kelley should be re-
quested to attend to discuss this matter.
Mr. Kelley's letter was tabled for further discussion.
A letter was received from Mr. Lapar regarding his recommendation
for typical residential water piping system to be included with
the proposed water and sewer connection permit -
Mr. Diehl noted that this recommendation has been turned over to
both the Building Inspector and Water and Sewer Department to
report back.
MR. CLAUSEN moved to receive Mr. Lapar's letter and diagram for
residential water piping system, and place them on file.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen.

The following letter was received:
Members of the Town of Wappinger Planning Board
Gentlemen:
1 ask that you reconsider your recent decision to allow PUD
in the tract of land off DeGarmo Hills Road and Myers Corners Road.
Even a casual inspection of the area in question reveals that
it could never be fully developed in single family dwellings be-
cause of the topology of the land and the amount of water clearly
evidenced by our recent weather. So it must either be cluster
zoned or very sparcely developed.
Now any ofthe mothers in this area will gladly tell you of
the extreme over crowding in the two grade schools which service
this area,. Myers Corners is jammed and Fishkill Plains' 5th and
6th grades are housed in Van Wyck. You might also inquire of
these same mothers how many different schools their children_ have
been in. Why aggravate an already serious condition?
PUD is a good idea and when properly used can serve the
orderly growth of our town. This is not such an instance.
Sincerely

December 28, 1973
Mr. Louis D. Diehl
Town of Wappinger Supervisor
95 South Avenue
Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Diehl:
The purpose of this letter is to; (1) explain our plan for
solid waste disposal for the "core area" of Poughkeepsie (the five
municipalities using the Airport landfill); and (2) to get your
opinion on a multi -town refuse disposal operation to serve your
area.
Both the volume of waste generated and the size of land area
required makes sanitary landfilling for the Poughkeepsie area
difficult and expensive. But until recently the alternative was
incineration and this method of disposal produced high operating
costs and stack pollutants that are hard to control. However,
solid waste does contain considerable heat energy, and pyrolysis
promises to be one of the best ways to recover this energy without
creating a new pollution problem.
In November we submitted an application for grant-in-aid
funds from the State Environmental Quality Bond Act for a pyrolysis
plant. We are submitting a second application for assistance to
develop more landfill space in the Poughkeepsie area. More land-
fill space is needed until a pyrolysis plant can be constructed.
Multi -town landfill operations to serve the outlying or rural
areas of the County can qualify for State grant-in-aid funds also.
The cost of engineering, site development, and operating equipment
are eligible for up to 25% assistance from the State. In preparing
such an application. form I need a letter or resolution from your
Town Board expressing interest in a County -operated, multi -town
landfill disposal operation.
Feel free to call on me to meet with you at your convenience.
Sincerely yours,
s/ Carlton W. Laird Comm.

Mr. Diehl entertained a motion to Mr. Laird, realizing that the
area of landfill disposal must be expanded, but that it not be in
the Town of Wappinger.
MR. SALAND moved that the Town Board concur in Mr. Laird's request,
to express an interest in a County operated landfill, but not in
the Town of Wappinger, we already have one there.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen.

Dear Supervisor:
The Bi -centennial Commission of Dutchess County are formulating
plans for a united celebration consisting of festivities, fire-
works and a parade tentatively set for the week of June 28th to
July 4th 1976.
In order not to conflict with any of your planned programs during
that week, would you be kind enough to answer and advise us on
the following:
1. Do you plan a parade on July 3rd or 4th in 1976?
2. If not, would you be interested in organizing your community
to participate in a massive parade in the City of Poughkeepsie?
Your entire community would have your own division in this
parade.
Please advise us by February 5, 1974.
We need your cooperation and reply.

Chairman of Festivities
Mr. Diehl directed that this communication be referred to the
recreation committee - Messrs. Jensen and Clausen, to contact Mr.
Rinaldi on any information available.
Under Committee Reports, a letter was received from the Dutchess

Gentlemen:
At recent Town Board meetings I was requested by Mr. Saland
and by Mr. Diehltoprepare material with regard to Historic
Zoning for certain sections in Hughsonville and the New Hacken-
sack Area.
My research indicates that there are a number of ways of
approaching the problem. One method would be to treat certain
areas with historic buildings in a special manner to provide that
in order to develop or remodel within those areas special per-
mission would have to be received from the Planning Board. This
would involve securing a definitive description of the areas
involved so that those areas could be designated on the Zoning
Map as Historic Zones. One of the difficulties of approaching
the problem in this manner is that the effect is by necessity
inclusive of buildings which have no historic value, and there-
fore, very often difficulties are encountered with respect to
those buildings.
L
A second method, which seems to have been more commonly
used, is to create by ordinance or local law a Historic Site
Commission, which Commission would be empowered with the respon-
sibility to designate historic buildings. Once designated those
buildings could not bealtered or removed without special per-
mission from the Historic Site Commission. The various ordinances
or local laws that have been adopted in the State of New York have
been submitted to certain court litigation. This litigation has
to date resulted in favorable decisions for the municipality.
I would appreciate your guidance with respect to the
following questions:
1. Does the Town Board want the matter handled by existing Town
agencies, such as the Planning Board?
2. Does the Town Board wish the problem to be considered on an
area basis or on an individual building basis?
3. Does the Town Board wish to entertain the idea of a Historic
Site Commission, whereby powers to deal with this problem were
delegated to this Commission?
Very truly yours,
s/ Allan E. Rappleyea
Mr. Diehl reported that Mr. Saland is going to make arrangements
with interested parties in regard to this historic zoning, and
set meetingsfor discussions in regard to it, and report back
at the next Board meeting.
Mr. Diehl recommended Mr. Rappleyea's report be received and placed
on file.'
Seconded by Mr. Saland.
Mr. Rappleyea, having had the matter referred to him at the last
Board meeting, with regard to a payment by Triangle Pacific Cabinet
Corp. of a $2,000 item to be used toward a contribution of down
stream drainage, he forwarded now the certified check in the amount
of $2,000 to the Town Board to be forwarded to the Supervisor's
Office for deposit.
MR. JENSEN moved to receive and accept said check of $2,000 from
Triangle Pacific Cabinet Corp. and forward it to the Supervisor's
Office for deposit.

Mr. Rapplyea, noting the matter would come up later, wished to
briefly -reflect on the topic of negotiations, that had been dis-
cussed at a -recent meeting, regarding the water facilities of
Triangle Pacific. In going over the legal questions, the tech-
nicalities of it were such that Triangle Pacific Cabinet Corp.
indicated to :him that they were the owners. In going over the
agreement the way the technicalities are arranged are that actually
the Mayim Water Co. Inc. is the official owner of that system with
all the stock being owned by Triangle Pacific so that he would
like to amend an earlier resolution so as to have the contract
reflect that ownership. The resolution he has prepared for the
Board's consideration, would authorize the previous contract to
reflect the inclusion of Mayim Water Co. Inc. as the party the Town
is dealing with.
Mr. Diehl, speaking to representatives of theTallTrees area
present, indicated receipt of a letter from Paul Epstein, Attorney
(Beacon, N.Y.) which in turn referred to a letter from Harry Raker,
owner of the Tall Trees water system, further mentioning that one
of the principals of Round Tree Builders would be present at this
evenings Board meeting to discuss this matter. Mr. Raker has
merely said that he has given permission for the builders to hook
up in Tall Trees, but of course the Town is holding up CO's and
positive action was taken tonight that tests will be started within
10 days and from the results of that test the Town Board will act
one way or another.
A Public Hearing having been held on the proposed Fire Prevention
Ordinance, the matter was placed before the Board for their con-
sideration.
Mr. Diehl declared there was no motion to take action at the present
time on this ordinance.
A request was received from the Supervisor's Office for the trans-
fer of funds of a 1973 budgetary item. This was in connection with

the 4th quarterly payment of Social Security for the year 1973.
The following resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN CLAUSEN who
moved its adoption: -
WHEREAS, the sum of $11,000 has been appropriated to Account
#B9030.8, This account has been overexpended and overdrawn by the
sum of $1,307.71, In order to meet bills presented for payment,
the additional monies were obtained from Account #B9060.8. We,
therefore, recommend that the Town Board authorize the transfer
of the sum of $1,307.71 from Account #B9060.8 to Account #B9030.8
in order to eliminate the overdraft and reimburse said account,
and in order to ratify and confirm the previously unauthorized
appropriation.

A resolution regarding the purchase of Mayim Water Co. Inc. fac-

was placed before the Board.
Mr. Clausen noted there was a problem in Revere Ridge, on Dorett
Lane. Mr. Gary Schmitt complains of problems on his road and
within the development. Mr. Schmitt claims the developer did not
TV those lines in his road, and Mr. Clausen -wondered ifthis shouldn't
be looked into and discussed with Triangle Pacific, before the Town
negotiates the contract. Mr. Saland recommended that the Water and
Sewer Committee get in touch with Mr. Schmitt and in conjunction with
the engineer report back to the Board on whatever recommendations
they might have. Mr. Diehl directed this matter be turned over
to Water and Sewer Committee - Messrs. Versace and Jensen. No
action was taken on the matter of the amending resolution, and it
was tabled until the next regular Town Board meeting. _
The following resolution was introduced by COUNCILMAN VERSACE
who moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, various developments in the Town of Wappinger have
been fully occupied prior to the completion of the proposed
recreation areas; and
WHEREAS, the residents of such developments have been deprived
of the use of such areas during the period of the development of
the subdivision;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the
Town of Wappinger hereby and herewith recommends to the Planning
Board of the Town of Wappinger the following procedure with respect
the recreation areas in subdivisions:
(1) That the Planning Board of the Town of Wappinger amend

Resolution Adopted
Prior to vote, Mr. Jensen stated he was on the Recreation Com-
mittee and was quite surprised to see the way this came about,
and his question was how the figure of 331/3% was arrived at, was
there any rule or guideline for it. Mr. Versace said the 1/3
L
figure was just a reasonable figure. Mr. Jensen took exception,
noting that if a large development came in, the completion of all
the homes may take 10 years and would the Town want to fund and
outfit the whole recreation area before the developer finishes,
perhaps a staging application would be more apropos. Mr. Versace
felt the hardship has been on the people, and it should_be put on
the development. Mr. Jensen felt the resolution had some merit
but would like to investigate it more in depth, and the whole
Board should discuss it further. Therefore he voted nay with these
reservations. Mr. Saland voted nay and said he too would like to
see some more imput.
MR. CLAUSEN moved to suspend the rules, seconded by Mr. Jensen
and carried, to permit discussion, and clarification of the topic
with Mr. Steinhaus, Chairman of the Planning Board. Mr. Rappleyea
stated that this resolution was intended to request the Planning
Board to consider an amendment to their regulations which again
would come back to the Town Board for final approval, and he
further indicated that what was referred to as development of the
recreation area, simply might mean the preparation of the site
for dedication.
MR. CLAUSEN moved to resume the rules, seconded by Mr. Jensen and
carried.

The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavot of Posting
and Publication duly signed and notarized by Albert Osten of
the W&SD News. (These Affidavits are attached hereto and made
a part thereof of the minutes of this Hearing).
The Town 'Clerk offered several letters received from the fire
companies, one from Hughsonville recommending adoption; Mr. Potten-
burgh, County Fire Coordinator recommending adoption, and New
Hackensack Fire Company recommending adoption; these are on file
in the Town Clerk's Offices,
Mr. Rappleyea brought attention to Section 14 where it states that
appeals from decision are outlined in Section 8, should be Section
9.
2:4
Restrictions on one family dwelling were omitted. He mentioned
other Sections that should be amended. Penalty and violations
stimuld not be treated as misdemeanors, but as violations with
fines.
Mr. Rappleyea then explained the duties of the Fire Chiefs, they
could inspect premises, he is obliged to appoint inspectors, he
is given almost as much authority as the Chief Inspector. It is
up to Town Board if they want to delegate the Building Inspector
to go to court to make complaints.
After discussion with the Town Board and the Attorney, Supervisor
Diehl opened the Public Hearing to the public and asked for their
comments.
Warren Martin, Widmer Road, had a question about the amount of
chlorine that could be stored. Also the way it was worded you
couldn't even spray your kid's bicycle. A permit was needed to
store chlorine in excess of 10 lbs.
Dick Dubres, Tall Trees asked, supposed he fixed hiss' own fender
and wanted to spray it --I cannotuse a spray can or tough -up paint.
Section 10, h.
Mr. Praeger explained a permit must be obtained for the storing
of certain amounts, but there would be no charge for the permit.
Louis Eck - There are a lot of swimming pools in the area and
people n -ed to store chlorine. These are all listed with the
Building Department, since they issued permits, and the Fire
Departments just have to check with them.
Wes Nolan, New Hackensack --Section 1, article 3 --no purpose without
a permit, if Ordinance is adopted what period of time do you have
to obtain a permit. What about the adoption date? If you were
to drive a vehicle into a garage and gas is int it, would you
need a permit?
Judge Francese, what about accessory use buildings such as horse.
barns storing hay?
Carol Waddle--
Carol Waddle -- I believe this Ordinance was drawn up with
business owners in mind, not for home owners, also believe area
chiefs and building inspector should be involved.
Mr. Eck asked if it excluded one family homes.
Sir. Diehl said there were many amendments that had to be added
to this Ordinance. The Board would discuss these amendments with
the Fire Chiefs; Attorney and others involved and probably would
have another hearing.
MR. CLAUSEN moved to close the Hearing, seconded by Mr. Jensen
and unanimously carried.
The Hearing closed at 8:04 P.M.
