The Town Board,
Town of Wappinger,N.Y.
Feb. 15 ,1964.
Dear Sir s ,
The property owners of MacFarland Road wish to
bring to your attention a condition which we feel is of
vital importance, not only to us now, but which will sim-
ilarly affect many other town residents in the future as
our urea continues to grow in population.
Plans submitted to the Planning Board by the
surveyors Barger and Russ for Mr. Angelo Williams, call
for a large developement to be built between MacFarland Rd.
and Hopewell Rd. with the only entrance and exit on
IvIacFarland Road.
Also pending, to be submitted by the
same surveyors is a 90 apartment building located further
along the road.
We ask the Town Board to request information from
the Town Planning Board as to the condition of ~~cFarland
Road, which will, in the near future be expected to serve
the present residents, plus..n additional 250 persons as
a main thoroughfare to Rte 9 and the, Hopewell Road.
MacFarland Road is anarrow,hilly,winding,typical
country lane, with blind curves, and the access road for
Mr. dilliams developement has its only entrance and exit
at a particularly bad point on the road. Also to be taken
into consideration is the MacFarland Road location of The
Sloper-J'lillen Ambulance Service, hot considered undesirable
by the present residents, but which must be considered a
/1
,
r
potential hazard on a road of this type if it is to be
so overpopulated.
We ask the Town Board to delay these building
plans and request a study by the Town Highway Supervisor,
Mr. Lawson, and the Town Engineer, ~~. Maneri, to deter-
mine the inadequacy oe the existing road to serve the
proposed traffic. We believe that the Town Board cannot
ignore the condition ot these country roads, and can
require adequate access roads bef6re allowing builders
to overtax present faciJities.
