CORRESPONDENCE LOG 2003 -CL -337 TO 2003 -CL -352 (See Attached Sheets) DISCUSSIONS • Local Law for Wetlands Protection. Al Roberts Attorney to the Town prepared a chart highlighting the various differences between the Town of Poughkeepsie Ordinance, the Fishkill Ordinance and our present one which was never utilized by the town and is outdated. Dan Wery, Town Planner explained that most of the communities are using the Army Corp Federal Wetlands delineation which is comprised of soil and vegetation and the main objective is to preserve wildlife. Our law is old (25 years) and we need to draft legislation. Mr. Wery also outlined reasons why safeguarding the wetlands was important. • Cedar Knolls Subdivision. Landowners of Lakeside Drive in the Cedar Knolls Subdivision have petitioned under State Law to make Lakeside Drive a town road. Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town explained that our Bond Council forwarded a proposed resolution calling for a public hearing. The resolution calls for an improvement to Lakeside Drive for its entire length and widening it to 18' wide pavement and in order to do so we have to publish a notice of public hearing at least ten and not more than twenty days before the scheduled public hearing. We have to post the notice of public hearing in the town hall and also have it posted on five conspicuous places on Lakeside Drive. All the individual property owners notified of the public hearing, and at the conclusion of the public hearing the Town Board could either do nothing or they could adopt a further order which would require a more detailed investigation by Mr. Paggi's office. The second order would be subject to a permissive referendum. Only the property owners abutting the road have an opportunity to vote and the vote would have to be carried by the majority of the property owners. Mr. Roberts also explained that Bonding would be limited to fifteen years and each property owner would have only one vote. At this time several residents of Lakeside Drive were given the floor for their comments. Mrs. Sweetland explained there have been instances with emergency vehicles getting in and out of Lakeside Drive. At this time, 9 of the 14 residents have agreed to move forward with this resolution, 3 that do not wish to move forward, and 2 that are undecided. The road is in serious disrepair, and the emergency vehicles do find it difficult to get in and out. Mike DeLuca was in favor of the proposed resolution and said that out of 14 owners there are only 8 people that pay for snow removal and upkeep of the road and the remainder of the homes are rentals. The road is poorly lit and the entrance leading on to New Hackensack Road to the left is dangerous. We can not come up with $60,000 to have the road ripped up and repaved. Councilman Valdati wished to have a breakdown of costs for each homeowner so they have a full understanding of the impact. Eric Nelson had some issues that he wished to have considered in the study, one being they did not sign over the right-of-way to the town. It belongs to the trustees of the association. Lakeside Drive is a dead end road and it is not clear that in turning the road over to the town it would remain as a dead end road. The second major issue has to do with several of the homes on or close to the right-of-way. Several of the wells are on the right-of-way. Another issue is, will the town accept less than a 50 foot right -a -way. How would the town accommodate the existing structures such as parking areas and such, which are currently on the right-of-way, and what would be the likely tax increase, by lot. Also where would the turn around be. Supervisor Ruggiero explained that we are going forward this evening to set a public hearing and to allow the Engineer to do the fact finding that is necessary to arrive at the scope of work involved in the project. All of the items you outlined may increase the cost of the project. The board will decide what formula it wants to apply in dividing the cost and prescribe a per owner cost to the residents for their consideration. This is a neighborhood initiated project. Mr. Paggi explained that he would take all the comments he has heard into account during the preparation of his report. • Keenan Acres Sales Trailer. According to the Zoning Administrator Tatiana Lukianoff there are presently provisions in the town Zoning Ordinance for a temporary field office trailer not to exceed a time frame of one year. There are currently no provisions for a sales trailer. The Developer of Keenan Acres explained that the sales trailer would be for a temporary period, and once the road is dedicated to the town the trailer would be removed. Discussion followed. Councilman Valdati moved to authorize Town Planner, Dan Wery and Attorney to the Town Al Roberts to draft legislation for a sales trailer, seconded by Councilman Bettina and unanimously carried.
