time. The applicant shall be provided with copies of
the Town vouchers for such services as they are
submitted to the Town. The applicant shall deposit

permit may require that the buffer areas be managed in accordance
with the three -zone riparian buffer system developed by the USDA
Forest Service.
(NOTE: http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/Pubs/n—resoureelbuffer/cover.htm.)

performance and maintenance agreements, secured by a surety bond, letter
of credit or cash deposit in such amounts as will secure compliance with the
requirements, conditions and limitations set forth in the permit. The
performance bond secured as above set forth shall be posted prior to
commencement of any work authorized under the permit. The particular

and utilize the proceeds thereof to fulfill the requirements, conditions,
limitations and obligations set forth in the permit. The approval authority is
also authorized to institute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction
to seek specific performance of the obligations set forth in the performance
agreement or maintenance agreement. The performance and maintenance
agreements shall provide that in the event the approval authority is
compelled to enforce the provisions thereof by commencement of an action
in a court of competent jurisdiction, the agreements shall require that the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable counsel fees as
determined by the court. The approval authority shall set forth, in writing,
its findings and reasons for imposing a performance agreement or
maintenance agreement as secured as aforesaid. Said findings and reasons

§ 240-35. Architectural and historical district powers.
A. Findings and purpose.
(1) The Town Board finds that the economy and quality of life of the
Town of Wappinger are affected by its visual environment. The
general welfare of residents and of property owners, as well as
property values and the tax base, are enhanced by natural and man-
made features and structures of visual and historical value.
Excessive uniformity, dissimilarity, inappropriateness or poor
quality of design in the exterior appearance of buildings erected in
any neighborhood adversely affects the desirability of the immediate
area and neighboring areas for residential and business purposes or
other use and by so doing impairs the benefits of occupancy of
existing property in such areas, impairs the stability and value of
both improved and unimproved real property in such areas, prevents
the most appropriate development of such areas, produces
degeneration of property in such areas with attendant deterioration of
conditions affecting the health, safety, comfort and general welfare
of the inhabitants thereof and destroys a proper relationship between
the taxable value of real property in such areas and the cost of
municipal services provided therefor. It is the purpose of this
chapter to prevent these and other harmful effects of such exterior
appearances of buildings erected in any neighborhood and thus to
promote and protect the health, safety, comfort and general welfare
of the community, to promote the public convenience and prosperity,
to conserve the value of buildings and natural and man-made
5
features and to encourage the most appropriate use and development
of land within the Town.
(2) Accordingly, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger hereby
finds that it is in the best interests of the citizens of the Town of
Wappinger and protective of their health, safety, economic and

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Vincent Bettina, Councilman
SECONDER: William Beale, Councilman
AYES: Gutzler, Beale, Bettina, Czarniecki, Kuzmicz
Public comments
Supervisor Gutzler introduced Vincent Caputo. Mr. Caputo stated that he is requesting a recycle
center permit for a company owned vehicle. He explained that he drives a vehicle that is
provided to him by his employer. When he went to the Clerks office he was denied the permit do
to that fact. Councilman Bettina stated that residents get different benefits, one is in the form of a
vehicle. He suggested a letter be written by the employer stating the employee is using the
vehicle as a benefit. He added that the board needs to adjust the policy. Supervisor Gutzler stated
that the board will work on a policy and it just might be something similar to a letter like
Councilman Bettina suggested. She asked for the boards suggestions. Councilman Bettina stated
that he feels that if a resident provides a letter from their employer they should be able to get a,
permit. Councilwoman Czarniecki added she would be in support of Councilman Bettina's
suggestion. Councilman Beale questioned the type of vehicle. He added that since it was not a
commercial vehicle it should be fine. The issue is the commercial vehicles. The board decided
that as long as the resident provided a letter from the employer on letter head stating the use of
the vehicle to the clerk, a permit should be issues. Christine Fulton, Town Clerk, requested the
policy in writing. The Supervisor stated she would get the policy to the Clerk.

be removed within 90 days of the death or permanent change of residence of the original
occupant of the unit; and

totally inconsistent with the stated intention and general provisions of Section 240.60 of the
Zoning Code and hereby wishes to amend Section 240-60.A.; and

otherwise exempt from environmental review pursuant to the New York State Environmental
Quality Review Act ("SEQRA").

forth and adopted herein.

XII. New Business
A. Councilman Beale
Councilman Beale wanted to acknowledge Graham Foster and John Barry, a Highway employee,
who went above and beyond today to help a victim that was ejected from the vehicle in a roll
over car accident. The employee administered first aid. Councilman Beale suggested the Town
notify the county about that stretch of New Hamburg road. It gets very hazardous especially on
the turn. Councilman Bettina suggested contacting the Dutchess County Legislator since he was
able to help with Osborne Hill Rd. He added that he would like to call John Barry in to give him
an award for his effort. Councilman Beale suggested maybe a new jacket since he gave his up
while helping the victim. The Supervisor agreed and stated that she would contact Gary Cooper
at the county about the issue.
