Elaine H. Snowden Town Clerk Town of Wappinger Sworn to before me this day of 1979. Notary Public PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger will �r_onduct a public hearing Ja" '`-1 �� 1979, at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York, to hear all persons concerning an Ordinance to amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger, as follows: Section 470.10. Legislative Findings and Purpose. The Town Board finds it desirable, to promote -the orderly growth of recreational facilities within the town and to establish a harmonious living environment relative to these uses that would be otherwise not possible through a strict Euclidian zoning ordinance and to permit a flexible use toward land use for recreational purposes by not limiting the development of non-public recreational uses to any specific areas of the town but to permit placing of recreational developments in any area of the tom where development of such use will be consistent and harmonious with the land use structure of that area. This local law will establish guidelines to define, in part, what elements will be necessary to permit such recreational development and establish a mechanism for such development to safeguard those concerned. Section 470.15. Definitions. Recreational Use: This term shall be broadly construed and given its plain and ordinary meaning and shall include all traditional forms of recreational activity but shall not be construed to extend to those areas that are traditionally in the form of entertainment rather than recreation such as movie theaters, amusement halls, etc. n iaine H. 6nowden Town Clerk Town of Wappinger Dated: December 29, 1978 k. Section 470.20. Eligibility Requirements. Subject to the terms of this local law, a recreational use development will be permitted within all zoning districts of the Town of Wappinger upon approval of the Town Board. a. Each recreational development will comprise at least 5 acres of land having continuity without regard to dividing streets, whether public or private on which such tract may have frontage. b. Ownership of the land proposed for recreational development shall be that required by Section 460.32 of the zoning ordinance. C. Open Space. Not less than 30 percent of the total area of recreational development shall be composed of open space which shall be preserved in its natural condition. Such land shall have physical, topographical, and geographi- cal characteristics which will adequately suit this purpose. Section 470.30. Minimum Design Standards. a.- No structure shall exceed three conventional stories in height or thirty-five feet, whichever is less. b. No building or structure shall be closer than fifty feet from the street line. C. Off-street Parking. The provisions of Section 454.07 of the zoning ordinance shall control this section. The Planning Board in reviewing the overall development plan may require a number in excess of the same if the proposed use requires the same and with due regard to the health, safety, and welfare of the uses of the facility and its surrounding community as a whole. d. Utilities. All utilities servicing any building or structure within the recreational use development shall be installed underground in the manner prescribed by applicable regulations. e. Roads and Highways. All interior roads and parking areas shall conform with the applicable standards contained in the regulations of the town. f. Signs. Signs within a recreational use development shall be limited to one in number and shall have setbacks as required by the zoning law. g. Fire Protection. A recreational development shall be served with marked fire lanes adequate in design to serve the facility. h. Screening. Where non-residential use shall abut a residential use, adequate and substantial natural screening shall be provided. Section 470.40. Application Procedure. The applicant and town will follow those procedures prescribed in Section 460.40 and 460.42 (planned unit development) excepting that references therein to planned unit development or "PUD" shall be deemed deleted and substituted in its place shall be recreational use development.

Upon analysis, this Department makes the following findings: General Information This proposed amendment to the Town Zoning Ordinance would allow recreational de- velopments as a permitted use in any area of the Town. Supplementary regulations governing certain design standards are a part of this amendment. Section 470.20 provides for Town Board approval of each recreational use develop- ment. However, the proposed amendment doesn't include criteria, standards, or locational guidelines for the Town Board's decision making. The existing zoning allows "places of amusement and recreation" in several zoning districts including the General Business and Local Business Zones. Commercial Recreational facilities are specifically excluded from residential zones in the existing zoning. Various types of "non -entertainment" type recreation would be allowed under this amendment. This could include bowling alleys, skating rinks, racket sports faci- lities and similar uses. Section 470.30(b) provides for a front yard setback of fifty feet. A comparison of this requirement with zoning district setbacks shows that this proposed stan- dard is less stringent than some of the existing district setback regulations. The screening of abutting residential properties is mentioned in Section 470.30(h) but no statement is included as to whether the Town Board or Planning Board has approval authority over the proposed screening. The Application procedure of Section 470.40 doesn't mention the role of the Town Board even though Town Board approval for recreational uses is cited in the first paragraph of Section 470.20. a R s To: Town Board Referral: Re: 79-4, Town of Wappinger Recreational Use Amendment X1.1 5 i9,j� Fi mtIE H, Sit,,TrVOEk In accordance with the provisions of General Municipal Law (Article 12B, Sections 239-1 and 239-m), the Dutchess County Department of Planning has reviewed subject referral with regard to pertinent inter -community and county -wide considerations.

The Application procedure of Section 470.40 doesn't mention the role of the Town Board even though Town Board approval for recreational uses is cited in the first paragraph of Section 470.20. IPA Recommendation In view of the above findings, the Dutchess County Department of Planning recom- mends that this proposed zoning amendment be disapproved. It is recommended that a more specific intent section be included which provides locational guidelines such as the proximity of the recreational use to population centers, the trans- portation network and community facilities as well as the compatibility of land uses. This amendment could provide that the recreational use be allowed in cer- tain nonresidential zones. In this way the lack of predictability inherent in the subject proposal would be alleviated. 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 sub- ject zoning action. Dated: January 12, 1979 Kenneth R. Toole, Commissioner Dutchess County Department of Planning By: -fes Richard Birch Senior Planner WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger has before it for consideration the adoption of an amendment to the zoning ordinance providing for the addition of an Article 470 thereto, and WHEREAS under the provisions of the State Quality Environmental Review Act and under the provisions of local law no. it is incumbant upon the Town to make a determination as to whether or not such adoption will have a significant impact on the environment, and WHEREAS the Town Board has duly deliberated and considered the impact of the proposed zoning amendment and completed the necessary environmental assessment form and reviewed as indicated by the attached documents, and WHEREAS it is the collective determination of the Town Board that the adoption of the zoning ordinance will have no significant impact on the environment for the reasons indicated thereon, NOW, THEREFORE, on a motion of Council seconded by Council BE IT RESOLVED that it is the finding of the Town Board that the addition of the new Article 470 to the zoning ordinance of the Town of Wappinger will have no significant impact on the environment and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Supervisor be empowered to execute any documents recording said determina- tion, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Clerk file a notice of this determination with such individuals and agencies as required by statute or local law.

X TITLE: Town Supervisor REPRESENTING: Town Board DATE: February 14, 1979 ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM TOWN OF WAPPINGER The following addendum is to supplement the environmental assessment form, Part I submitted by the Town of Wappinger upon the adoption of an amendment to its zoning ordinance creating a floating recreational zone, said amendment adding a new section 470 to the zoning ordinance of the Town of Wappinger. A determination that there is no significant environmental impact upon the adoption of the above indicated amendment to the zoning ordinance is necessitated by the fact that the provisions so adopted do not affect any specific area of the Town of Wappinger at the time of adoption of it. The provisions of the ordinance as adopted permit the Town Board at future dates, upon review of individual applicatons, to determine whether or not consent will be given to the establishment of a recreational use area for a specific area which is then the subject of an application. At that time, all the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act as well as the local law of the Town of Wappinger will be applicable and full environmental review as required by said statute and local law will be observed. In view of the foregoing, any assessment of potential environmental impact resulting from the adoption of the amendment to the zoning ordinance would be purely speculative and meaningless as well as unnecessary. Accordingly, it is the determination of the Town Board that no significant environmental impact will ensue as a result of the adoption of the amendment to the zoning ordinance. EAF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT - PART II Project Impacts and Their Magnitude General Information (Read Carefully) - In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my decisions and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. - Identifying that an effect will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large effect must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. By identifying an e eii` ctin column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. - The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of effects and wherever possible the threshold of magni u e that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be more appropriate for a Potential Large Impact rating. - Each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. - The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. INSTRUCTIONS (Read Carefully) a. Answer each of the 18 questions in PART 2, Answer Yes if there will be as effect. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c. If answering Yes to a ouestion then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. If reviewer has doubt about the size of the impact t_ilen consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. e. If a potentially large impact or effect can be reduced by a change in the project to a less than large magnitude, place a Yes in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. 1. 2. 3. SMALL TO POTENTIAL CAN IMPACT BE MODERATE LARGE REDUCED BY IMPACT IMPACT PROJECT CHANGE IMPACT ON LAND NO YES `).
