Sincerely, Pa4 Paul Waddington 37 MRS. PAINO moved to receive these reports and place them on file for discussion at a future work shop meeting. Seconded by Mr. Reis Motion Unanimously Carried A response to our request for cross road signs on All Angels Hill Road was received from the Dutchess County Department of Public Works. Mr. Farina read the following excerpt from this letter, noting that he was very disappointed in this response -- "We are sorry that we cannot meet your request. These intersections can be seen by the traveling public; therefore, the same precautions should be taken when entering All Angels Road as any other intersection, or when entering a major highway from a minor town road. Signs provide a false sense of security to some and are of .little value unless caution is exercised". MR. FARINA moved to receive this correspondence and place it on file.

I AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER The following Ordinance was offered by who moved its adoption: An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger for the purpose of adding a new Section entitled "Architectural and Historic District Advisory Board". BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDAINED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows: 1. The Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger, duly adopted March 10, 1980 and as amended from time to time is further amended by adding Section 428 as follows: SECTION 428 ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD 428.1 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE 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 building3erected 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 Ordinance 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, conserve the value of buildings and natural and man-made features and encourage the most appropriate use and development of land within the Town. 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 general welfare to create an "Architectural and Historic District Advisory Board" (hereinafter referred to as "AAB") in order to accomplish these purposes and insure proper protection and development of the visual environment of the Town of Wappinger. 428.2 CONSTITUTION OF BOARD AND RULES OF CONDUCT 428.21 Appointment The AAB shall be appointed by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger and shall consist of five (5) members, all of whom shall be residents of the Town of Wappinger.

AICP ASSISIANT COMMSS,o NEK November 21, 1986 To: Town Board, Town of Wappinger He: Referral 86-674, Zoning Amendment for the Establishment of an Architectural and Historic District Advisory Parcel: All 47 CANNON ST POUGHaEEPs1: NY 12601 TELEPHONE (914) 431-2480 w ,x i,9 Board The Dutchess County Department of Planning has reviewed this proposed amendment within the framework of General Municipal Law (Article 12B, Section 239-1 and 239-m) and makes the following findings and recommendations: This proposed amendment would create an advisory board to provide recommendations on the architectural and historic elements of certain proposed developments in the town. A stated purpose of this board would be to enhance and maintain the visual character of the community and improve the economic and environmental climate in the town. Overall, the proposed amendment provides a sound structure and framework for the implementation of the stated goals. Several concerns, however, are evident in some of the proposed provisions. 1. Section 428.31 - Review Authority. This section states that, when a board finds that a review by the Architectural Advisory Board (AAB) would be advisable, such board "may" refer the application to the AAB. It. would be more appropriate to require referral to the AAB if a board finds that such a review would be advisable. This could be accomplished by changing the word "may" to "shall". 2. Section 428.31(a). The first part of this paragraph mentions Federal, State and locally designated historic structure. The second part of the paragraph, however, mentions only Federal or local designated structures. The word "state" could be added to the next to last line to include structures on the New York State Historic Register. 3. Section 428.31. The section provides for referral by several boards and the Building Inspector. The responsibility of the Building Inspector is unclear. For instance, can or should the Building Inspector refer a site plan or special permit application to the AAB? Or, is that referral the responsibility of a board? As written, either the Building Inspector or a board could make a referral. This could work out, but the implementation of these provisions should be closely monitored to ensure efficiency of the process. 4. Sections 428.51 and 428.52. These sections could be amended to read "new structures and additions ...", if that is the intent. Referral 86-674 Page 2 Recommendation The Dutchess County Department of Planning strongly supports the town's efforts to enhance and maintain the visual character of the community. As some communities grow and develop, they frequently lose the qualities which attracted people to them. Adoption of these regulations would be a step in the direction of preserving the community's and residents' sense of place through the enhancement of the visual environment. This Department recommends that the decision in this matter should be based upon a local study of the facts in this case. Consideration, however, should be given to the specific points raised above. The Dutchess County Department of Planning does not presume to base its decision on the legalities or illegalities of the facts or procedures enumerated in subject zoning action. Roger P.
