Mr. Arthur Bisom had requested to speak to the Board on a subject
pertaining to Oakwood Knolls Development. He first commented on an
accusation from the Wappingers Taxpayers Association that he was a
stooge for Mr. Logan, Wappinger Republican Committee Chairman,
22 9
which he refuted, adding if this could be proved, he would donate
$500. to any charitable organization. Getting to his topic, he
reflected that about two years ago, the Highway Superintendent had
done about $800. worth of work on the Oakwood Knolls Roads, had that
money been put back? He asked that this be checked into. Mr. Diehl
said Mr. Horton would have some figures for the next Regular Meeting.
He then asked what was being done with outstanding bills for the
sewer, and where the money came from to pay for the work done on the
billings and who stood the loss on the unpaid bills, Oakwood District
or the Town. Mr. Diehl answered that all monies came out of the
District and the District alone bore the loss of non-payment.
A letter was received from Mrs. G. Marvullo regarding a hazard at
the entrance of Dugan Lane from All Angels Road. The letter requested
the Town Board to ask the County to remedy the situation, by widening
the apron at the entrance enough to allow two cars to exit and enter
at the same time.
MR. FINNAN moved that Mr. Horton be directed to contact Mr. Petrovits
to investigate the possibilities of widening the exit of Dugan
Lane into All Angels Hill Rd. Seconded by Mr. Clausen.

Subject: Plan to Construct a Drainage Pipe
Behind Kretch Circle Street
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, residents of Kretch Circle Street,
hereby bring to your attention the improper planning of the subject
drainage pipe.
Under the present plan, the drainage will be constructed
across our properties within twenty-five yards from our houses.
The drainage will be about 500 feet long and will involve the use
of explosives during the construction.
•
From the point of view of our personal property rights,
safety and financial efficiency, we request the town authorities
to investigate other methods and routes for the drainage and
compare with the present plan.
As an example, we propose to connect the drainage directly
with a creek that lies about 100 feet away from our properties.
We hope full cooperation from you and look forward for a
proper solution.
Thank you.

Kretch Circle (2)
