# 672 - at the request of Greystone House, Inc, seeking an interpretation
of Section 421, paragraph 5 of the Town of Wappinger Zoning Ordinance.
Mrs. Waddle stated the board had been concerned about the definition of
"mentally retarded" as against "mental illness". She had a definition from
the state which she would read."Mental illness can occur at any age and is
usually marked by disturbances in behavior, feelings, thinking, or judgement.
Mental retardation, and other developmental disabilities on the other hand
originate during the developmental stage of an individual's life, that
is prior to age 18, and are characterized by deficits in adaptive behavior,
like feeding, dressing. Unlike the mentally ill, whose disability may be
either temporary or chronic in nature, the mentally retarded or developmentally
disabled person's handicap may be expected to continue indefinitely"
She read section 421 and stated she felt it was a permitted use in a
residential district.

Peter Tomasic
Mr. Close asked if the board had reviewed the information provided. He would
like to amend the notice of appeal to appeal the section which allows only

Mrs. Waddle read the.letter from the D.C. Dept. of Planning which recommended
the variance be denied.
Discussion - County's letter, variance request, etc, notification of meeting,
permitted 2 family use in 1972, if there was ever a kitchen previous building
permit, court procedure.
Mr. Close explained that the purpose from the beginning was to have a
self contained living space, however, due to the fact that Mr. Tomasic does
not speak english very well, it was written as "living room".
Mrs. Waddle stated she had no way of knowing that, what she sees in black and
white is living room.
Mr. Close stated she also had the testimony of others as to the intent.
Zoning Board of Appeals June 14, 1983 Page 4
Mrs. Waddle stated that those people were all dead, how could she question
them.
Mr. Tomasic stated that last October, when he came to Mr. Gunderud, he had
2 papers in the file, one said kitchen. The paper should still be in the
file.
Mr. Gunderud stated you could faintly see, on the original vellum, the
word kitchen and also the words living room and they were erased. The
original approval was on the vellum, but I couldn't tell at what point the
erasure was done.
Mr. Cortellino stated this could have been done before the approval was granted.
Mr. Close stated all he could say was that the intent was to have self suffi-
cient living quarters. We didn't erase the vellum. The kitchen facility
has always (from 1972) been in.
Mrs. Waddle asked why the problem is occurring 9 years after the kitchen was
put in.

no one. She then closed the appeal.
Discussion, completeness of apratment (finished) final inspection.
Mr. Caballero made a motion to allow the apartment only as long as Mr. Tomasic
lives in the house. The house can not be sold as a 2 family house and must

Mr. Cascio
Mr. Ryan explained that in construction of the house, according to the plot
plan they were supposed to have 35 or 40 feet to the left side, but because
of the rock condition, the house was shifted. He has built in 5 or 6 other
towns and wood decks, in some of them, doesn't count. Mr. & Mrs. Cascio
love the deck.

Representative: Ernest Martin, engineer
Mr. Thomas, Cumberland FArms.
Mr. Martin presented a site plan and stated the two variances requested. He
also stated the applicant is V.S.H. Realty, not V.H.S. The facility they are
planning is a food store with gasoline sales. All other zoning requirements have
been complied with. The store would operate 7 days a week from 7AM to 11PM.
The building is designed to blend in with the neighborhood.
Mr. Landolfi asked how many people would be employed.
Mr. Martin stated there would be only one person at any one time, several
shifts, plus a series of part-timers. It is basically pre-packaged food
specializing in dairy products.
Mrs. Waddle asked if there was an entry and an exit or an entry/exit.
Mr. Martin stated there were 2 entry and exits one of Hopewell Road and one
on Rt. 9D. The one on Hopewell Road will be located as far east of the
intersection as possible. The one on Rt 9D would be located on the north
side of the property. Both proposed vurb cuts have conceptual approval
of the State and county. The technical details still have to be reviewed with
them.
Mr. Urciuoli asked where the septic system would be located.
Mr. Martin stated that had not been addressed yer.
Mrs. Waddle stated that would be up to the D.C. Health Department. She then
asked if there was anhone to speak for or against thsis variance.
Mr. Joe Edwards, owner of the Convenient Food Mart Store in Hughsonville. He's
been there the past 8 years and if the board allows this store to sell gas, he
would like to be able to sell gas. He doesn't think the people of Hughsonville
want another 2 gasoline stations. He has gotten along without the gas for
8 years and he thinks V.S.H. should get along without the gas as well.
Zoning Board of Appeals June 14, 1983 Page 7
John, (works in the church) wants to know if the gas had to come with the
food.
Mr.Martin stated it was pretty much a standard policy.
John wanted to know if any traffic studies had been completed.
Mr. Martin stated they had talked to NYSDOT and D.C. Dept of Public Works. They
have done a lot of changes to make the store work.
John stated he did not think it was fair play to set up a store with gasoline
right across the corner from the same type store without gas. He felt the
question of traffic flow should be addressed before this variance.
Patricia Weber, community liason, for Scenic Hudson, Inc.9 Vassar Street
Scenic had been given a grant from Dutchess County to do an historic survey
of Hughsonville. Scenic Hudson is a not for profit organization concerned with
the preservation and enhancement of the scenic historic, and ecological
resources within the Hudson Valley, and they are opposed to this proposal for
the reasons stated in her letter. (she read the letter aloud)
Mrs. Waddle asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak for or
against this variance. There was no one. She then closed the appeal.
Discussion.
Mr. Caballero made a motion to deny the requested variance.
Mr. Landolfi seconded the motion.
Vote: 5 ayes
Motion carried the variance was denied.
Mrs. Waddle read the next appeal.
#680 - at the request of Murray Ackerman (Stage Door Furniture), seeking a var-
iance of Article IV, Section 416.511 of the Town of Wappinger Zoning Ordinance
to permit for a sign on a building which will be three feet high and 180 square
feet in area where a two foot height and 100 square feet is permitted, on
property located on Rt. 9 and Old Route 9, being parcel #6156-02-777824.
Representative: Murray Ackerman
Mr. Ackerman stated they had come in for the same variance about 612 months ago.
In the past 6� months they have found sales are not reaching their expected
level. Two of the supliers who were kind enough to come and see how their
product was being displayed and sold, felt there was a need for a larger and
identifiable sign. It is from their expertise in dealing with merchants through-
out the county, that they found that we were falling short of having a sign
large enough to be identifiable by passing traffic. We have also found that
customers looking for the store have had trouble finding the building, because
the sign is not large enough. The wall is 2700 sq. ft. and a 100 sq ft.
sign is very small. They do have one of the largest walls in Dutchess County
*Awl, and they felt justified in asking for the variance.
Zoning Board of Appeals June 14, 1983 Page 8
Mr. Cortellino asked how large the temporary sign was.
Mr. Ackerman said it was larger than the current sign.
Mr. Cortellino questioned if the larger sign would actually improve business.
Mr. Ackerman felt the larger sign would solve the problems of consumers finding
them. They are going through some financial hardship due to the fact that their
sales are not reaching the expected levels.
Mrs. Waddle asked if there was anyone who wished to speak for or against this
variance. There was no one. She then closed the appeal.
Discussion.
Mrs. Waddle made a suggestion to leave Furniture off the sign.
Mr. Ackerman stated they needed the word furniture.
Mr. Cortellino made a motion to deny the variance.
Mr. Urciuoli seconded the motion.
Vote: 4 ayes 1 abstain (Mrs. Waddle)
Motion carried, variance denied.
Mrs. Waddle read the next appeal.
#682 - at the request of Ronald La Sota, seeking a variance of Article IV,
Section 422, rear yeard setback of the Town of Wappinger Zoning Ordinance
to allow the main building (Castle Racquet & Fitness Club) to have a rear yard
setback of ten feet where thirty feet is required and to have the rear yard set-
back of the cabana at twenty feet where thirty feet is required, on property
located on Route 376 being parcel #6358-01-296627, in the Town of Wappinger.
Representative: Kenneth Russ
Mr. Landolfi stated they were familiar with the property but he would like
Mr. Russ to explain the situation.
Mr. Russ explained that Mr. LaSota is a very creative man, the original
approval placed the building closer to Rt. 376, When they started clearing
the site, he wasn't happy. He wanted to move the vuilding back. This is not
quite the same as All Sport, it will be more of a private family club. He
wanted a patio off the back so people could watch. In moving the building back,
they had to go back to the planning board for amended site plan approval. They
are in a unique situation because they have the central hudson right of way
and adjacent to it, they have 250' ConEd right of way, so there's no residential
houses near by. The vuilding would be at a higher elevation and in a more
practical position.
Mrs. Waddle stated there was no hardship.
�rrr
Zoning Board of Appeals June 13, 1983 Page 9
Mr. Russ stated they would not have attempted it except for the unique situation
with the right of ways.
Discussion, no hardship.
Mrs. Waddle asked if there was anyone to speak for or against this variance.
There was no one. She then closed the appeal.
Mr. Urciuoli made a motion to deny the requested variance.
Mr. Caballero seconded the motion.
Vote: 5 aye
Motion carried, the variance was denied.
Mrs. Waddle declared a 5 minute recess.
Mrs. Waddle read the next appeal.
#683 - at the request of Frank R. Bruno, seeking a determination pursuant
to Article IV, Sections 404.32 and 404.33 of the Town of Wappinger Zoning
Ordinance as the whether or not a proposed use is less non -conforming
or similar to previous use and to approve structural changes to an existing
building located on Old Route 9 in the HB-lA zone, being parcel #6157-02-552940.
Representative: Charles O'Donnell
Mr. Bruno
Mr. O'donnell stated that Mr. Bruno's property on Old Rt. 9 had two commercial
uses prior to the zoning change. One was a nursery trype school and the
other was a dental office and later a computer type office. The computer oper-
ation had ceased and Mr. Bruno had contacted him to see if he could lease the
building, to new tenants. The Zoning ordinance stated non -conforming buildings
could only be used for the same or similar uses. They have a proposed tenant
and have entered into a lease contingent upon the ZBA's approval. The proposed
tenant is Dentifax International, Inc. which will employ 3 people, including
the principle of the corporation. It is a mai order type of business that
caters to dental office and laboratories. It carries items such as plastic
tubes, no off the street business, it is all by telephone or by mail Ship-
ments from UPS will be received weekly, and from the supplier once every 3-4
weeks. They ship their products out by UPS or occasionallt by small van or
truck. The prior uses had more traffic and as many if not more employees.
The other problem dealt with the alteration of the building. The only changes
would be to widen the doorway by removing the closet and eliminating a lab
area and a few other changes. He did not think they were structural changes
in the sense of the zoning ordinance but he wanted the boards approval before
they were done.
Mrs. Waddle asked when the last tenant moved out.
Mr. O'donnel stated it would be 2 years this coming December.
Mr. Caballero asked if any manufacturing would be done on the premises.
Mr. O'donnel stated that there would be none whatsoever.
