Public Portion
1. Public comment on the agenda items
Supervisor Ruggiero opened the floor to public comment on the agenda items at 7:37
PM. There were no comments from the public.
Discussion
A. Carnwath Farms Update — Don Swartz
Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 7:39 PM. Don Swartz was present to
update the Board on the emergency work project at Carnwath Farms. Mr. Swartz notified the
Board that the work is done and the emergency was lifted on the 11th of June. He proceeded to
use a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the work that was done and the current condition of
the Mansion and Carriage House.
Supervisor Ruggiero asked George Kolb, Director of Code Enforcement, if the
certificates of compliance have been issued. Mr. Kolb replied that it has been issued for the
Mansion. He is waiting on final electrical inspection for the Carriage House.
Councilman Beale stated that he is concerned that the building is not being properly
secured. He was on the property recently and the Carriage House door was wide open.
Supervisor Ruggiero commented that the parks department will be on site daily now that the
emergency has been lifted.
Supervisor Ruggiero thanked Mr. Swartz and all of the workers that have been on this
project. With no other comments or questions, the discussion was closed at 8:00 PM.
B. Establishing Cranberry Hills Sidewalk District
C. Establishing Cranberry Hills Drainage District
D. Establishing Cranberry Hills Street Lighting District
Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 8:00 PM. He then introduced Richard
O'Rourke, an attorney representing the law firm of Keane & Beane, P.C. Keane & Beane, P.0 is
representing Cranberry Hills, LLC. Mr. O'Rourke explained that the three items on the agenda
Town of Wappinger Page 1 Printed 7/9/2007
Regular Meeting Minutes June 25, 2007
were petitions to establish special districts for Cranberry Hills. The districts are for drainage,
lighting and sidewalks. The purpose of the districts is to have the taxing authority on the
residents of the subdivision to cover the expenses for the districts. The petitions have been
prepared in conjunction with the Town Engineer. Mr. O'Rourke requested that Public Hearings
on the petitions be set. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if the Board had any questions. There were
none. He then recommended that the Public Hearings be set for 6:45 PM on July 19th, 2007.
With no other questions or comments, Supervisor Ruggiero closed the discussion at 8:03 PM.
E. Well Testing Local Law
Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 8:03 PM. The main difference between
this version of the Local Law and the version that was presented to the Board at a previous
meeting is that the responsibility of the test is put on the purchaser. Councilman Beale asked if
this makes the Wappinger bill consistent with the Assembly bill. Al Roberts, Attorney to the
Town, replied that it was an entirely different package for a different jurisdiction with a different
procedure. Supervisor Ruggiero stated that it is similar to the version that the County had.
Councilman Beale asked what would happen if the State Assembly Bill gets to the Senate.
Supervisor Ruggiero replied that that bill would trump the Town bill. Discussion followed.
With no other comments or questions, Supervisor Ruggiero closed the discussion at 8:05 PM.
