Dear Mr. Diehl:
Thank you for your letter copies dated May 13 and May 19, 1982 to
Mr. -Tetd H. Adams, Esquire and to Marshall and Sterling Insurance.
c7a
Your certified mail dated May 18, 1982 states that my May 12,
1982 letter
"fails to state a date". To answer the quoted statement I am enclosing a
cry of the certified mail received and signed by Ms. Snowden.
For your request of damage date, I am enclosing a copy of the latest letter
received fromt Ms. Valerie Warburton the local representative of Wausau
Insurance Company. The accident date was October 7,1980.
For your request of "bills or proof of payment" I aro, enclosing a copy of
a paid bill covering the cost of correcting the problem stated in item
No. I in my May 12, 1982 letter.
For your question "Yawn Attorney does not return easement on wrong location,"
I am enclosing a copy of a drawing dated 11./7/80 prepared by R.E. Lapar,
F.E.D.C. Consulting Engineers, 90 East Main Street, Wappingers Falls, New York.
This drawing is the engineers document, of the easement, that is described
in my letter. I called this easement "the new easement". Item No. 3, sub-
item b.}
When construction started in October 1980 on my property I was notified by the
engineer that the drainage construction on the "existing easement" is not
feasible because the ground is solid boulder.
We have agreed to the easement relocation.
For your convenience I have illustrated the "existing easement" on an extra
copy of the engineers drawing. This easement is registered with the county
on a drawing illustrating the Bell-Air construction permit prepared in 1965.
I wish to express this problem again. I want the "existing easement" back.
I am also enclosing a cost estimate to repair the damages caused by the
construction company.
Please review tJ data provided in my letters, and inform ue if the Town
of Wappingers Falls can assist me to recover the described damages:
Thank you for your help.
sincerely,
Carol. and Steve Petvai

Dear Lou:
I enclose a copy of a letter from Jeffrey R. Otto, Esq.
on behalf of Mr. and Mrs . Stephen Petvai relative to the
proposed easement for drainage. Your attention is addressed
to the last paragraph of the letter which requests a certain
release and other commitments on the part of the town. I
have simultaneously with the writing of this letter requested
an engineering opinion from Mr. LaPar' s Office, but would
recommend that this matter be placed on the next agenda of the
Town Board so that formal action can be taken if the board '
is receptive to the same.
Very taruly yours,

Re: Mr.and Mrs. Steven Petvai
Proposed Easement for Drainage
Dear Jon:
Mr. and Mrs. Steven Petvai have consulted with me regarding the proposed-
easement
for drainage on .their property at 2 B.e1--Aire Lane, .Wappingers Falls, New York
Mr. and Mrs Pet•fai feel that the easement as proposed is too large and is also
incorrectly located. A fifty foot easement would include within its' boundries.
our clients' septic field and one-half their oil tank.
As an alternative: we propose. a twenty foot wide easement which would follow the
natural line of the creek, which crosses the property and would be more in tune
with the ambient physical characteristics in question.
A'copy of the pertinent portion of the subdivision map with our proposed: easement
sketched thereon is enclosed for your review. As you will note, the centerline of
the twenty foot easement starts 34.7 feet from the southeast corner of our clients'
property on the easterly line of said property and ends on a point 177 feet from
the starting point on the southerly line of said property.
Wewould appreciate your reviewing this matter with the. Town Engineer to see if
our proposal is acceptable.,
Our clients arefully willing to cooperate in this, matter, and all they ask is that
the easement be limited in size and location as to perform its function without
encumbering their property to an unnecessary degree.
In addition if this easement is granted, we would like to obtain a release from
the Town of the useless twenty foot drainage easement on the filed map which runs
along the entire southerly line of our clients' line. Also, our clients are
experiencing water problems resulting from runoff from Allandin Court and Bel-Aire
Lane. We would like to have .some commitment from the Town to install an additional
Catch basin on Allandin Court and Bel-Aire Lane if the new drainage easement does
not solve this problem.
We will await your advice in this matter.
very truly yours,
Roskoski, Pacione, Otto & Rahemba, P.C.

MEMO TO: Town Board, Town of Wappinger
FROM: Rudolph E . Lapar, P.E .
SUBJECT: Resolution of concerns of Mr. & Mrs . Petvai,
2 Bel-Air Lane & Mr. & Mrs . King, Orange Court
DATE: March 5, 1980
On March 5, 1980 Mr. William P. Horton and Rudolph E. Lapar,
met with Mr. , & Mrs . Petvai and Mr. King - the results of the
meeting are as follows :
1. The Town Highway Department will install. a catch
or .inlet basin on A.11ad,in Court between Bel-Air Lane
and Losee Road where a natural swale discharges
waters across the lands of Petvai.
2 . If required, after the installation of the proposed
Bel-Air Lane Storm Sewer Plan, the Town Highway will
place a catch or inlet basin at or near the Petvai ' s
driveway.
3 . An additional easement will be obtained from the
Petvai ' s in order to allow the drainage pipe to re-
main in the existing place .
4. The Eiew drainage pipe will be extended an additional
10 feet at the request of Mr. Petvai for valid rea-
sons . Also the stream will be cleaned as required
from end of pipe past Losee Road.
5 . The area between the last two (2) inlet basins on
Orange Court will be stoned and allowed to leach in-
to the main storm drain since high ground water and
springs have been observed in the area .
6 . An attempt will be made to raise the grade in Orange
Court turn circle so that the pocketing of water will
MEMO: Town Board, Town of Wappinger March 5, 1980
FROM: Rudolph E . Lapar, P.E .
no longer occur. This will be done as part of
repavings after the proposed Bel-Air Lane Project
is completed.
7. If the regrading of Orange Court does not elimi-
nate all problems, possibly additional catch or in--
let basins will be added at a later date.
Since the above work does not substantially increase the
estimated cost above the proposed total construction estimate,
they will easily be incorporated in the project': We believe
that this resolves the concerns brought up at the Public
Hearing.
