;?u ~ 7/~; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Wappinger Planning Board received an application from
Ultra-Craft Homes c/o Fred Straub (the "Owner" and "Applicant") for preliminary and final
subdivision plat approval for the realignment of lotlines between three lots _ acres (Lot
4 of Lands of Parsons), _ acres (Lot 42 Z & M Development Corp.) and _ acres (Lot
43 Z & M Development Corp.) in size (the "Project" or "Subdivision"); and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the lotline realignment is to accommodate proposed
house sizes and locations on Lots 42 and 4; and
WHEREAS, the involved lots (the "Properties") are known as Tax Lots 6258-04-
745273 (Lot No.4), 6258-04-752253 (Lot No. 42), and 6258-04-764259 (Lot No. 43) on
the Town of Wappinger Tax Assessment Maps and are located on Albert Lane
approximately 300 feet south of the intersection of Albert Lane and Sherwood Heights
Drive in the R-40 (Residential) Zoning District in the Town of Wappinger; and
WHEREAS, the Properties were involved in a lotline realignment/land transfer,

completed years ago which was mapped and filed incorrectly; and
CARMEL HEIGHTS LOTS 4, 42 AND 43 LOTLINE REALIGNMENT
RESOLUTION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL SUBDIVISION PLA T APPROVAL
WHEREAS, The Applicant has submitted a.Short Environmental Assessment Form
and the following plan prepared by Richard G. Barger, Wappingers Falls, New York:
"Realignment of Lot Lines Between Lot No.4 - Lands of Parsons - Filed Map No. 7152
and Lots 42 & 43 Z & M Development Corp., Etingin Associates, LLC. and O'Donnell
Builders of Dutchess, Inc. Lots 41, 42 & 43 - Filed Map #6920 'Carmel Heights - F.M. No.
6611C,'" dated 1/18/02; and
WHEREAS, the proposed lotline realignment would render Lot 43 noncompliant
with respect to lot width: approximately 110 feet as opposed to the minimum required
125 feet; and
WHEREAS, at the same time, the lot width of Lot 42 would increase, enabling the
Applicant to meet the required minimum 25 foot side yard for the proposed house on that
lot; and
WHEREAS, the Iodine realignment between the rear lodines of Lots 42 and 43
and the front Iodine of Lot 4 would enable the Applicant to meet the required minimum
50 foot front yard on Lot 4 for the house proposed on that lot and would not result in any
nonconformities with respect to lot area or dimension for any of the lots involved; and
WHEREAS, the lotline realignment in and of itself, represents neither an increase
in the number of lots, nor an increase in overall development density of the subdivision;
and
WHEREAS, as the lots are part of an approved Average Density Subdivision,
pursuant to Section 240-19.A of the Zoning Code, the Planning Board is "authorized to
modify the zoning regulations with respect to lot area and dimensions, provided that the
average size of all lots shown on the subdivision plat shall be equal to or greater than the
permitted minimum lot area in such district and that there shall not be a greater average
density of population or cover of the land with buildings than is permitted in such district,
and further provided that no lot shall have less than the minimum area and dimensions
required for lots in the next less restrictive residential zoning district to the one in which
the property is located"; and
WHEREAS, the proposed lot configuration qualifies for a waiver of minimum
required lot dimensions (i.e., the less than minimum Lot Width on Lot 43) based on the
above conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board is familiar with the Site and all aspects of the
Project and has been satisfied that the Project will comply with the Zoning Law as well as
other applicable laws and regulations; and
20f5
CARMEL HEIGHTS LOTS 4, 42 AND 43 LOTLINE REALIGNMENT
RESOLUTION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL SUBDIVISION PLA T APPROVAL
WHEREAS, the Planning Board determined that the Subdivision will not result in
the creation of any new building lots within the Town of Wappinger; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board determined that the Project is an Unlisted Action
in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Law; and
WHEREAS, a duly advertised public hearing was held on March 4, 2002 at the
Wappinger Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Wappingers Falls, New York at which time
all those wishing to be heard were given the opportunity to be heard and the public
hearing was closed on that date;

set forth above as if fully set forth and resolved herein.

hereby adopts a Negative Declaration on the grounds that the proposed action will
not result in any significant environmental impacts and no new building lots will
be created within the Town of Wappinger and there will be no construction or land
disturbance as a direct result of the project.
3. The Planning Board hereby finds that a proper case does not exist for requiring
that additional parklands be suitably located for playground and other recreational
purposes within the Town of Wappinger, since no new building lots will be created
within the Town of Wappinger, and therefore neither land nor a fee in lieu of land
for recreational purposes will be required.
4. The Planning Board hereby finds that the final plat will not be substantively
changed from the preliminary plat and hereby waives the requirement for a public
hearing on the final plat.
5. The Planning Board hereby excercises the authority granted them by Section 240-
19.A of the Zoning Law to modify the minimum lot width for Lot 43 from 125 fet
to 110 feet, as shown on the proposed plat.
