(Supervisor Diehl had called a Special Meeting for 4:15 P.M.
this date in order to consider the communication from Cornell
and Drake requesting withdrawal of their PI rezoning application.
Board Members and News Media were duly notified and notification
placed on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board. The following
segment of the Town Board meeting complies with this notice
of a Special Meeting).
Two proposed Consent Orders were received from Rosen Crane
and Wolfson for consideration by the Town Board ---One from
WVC Realty Corp and one from DWS NY Holding, Inc. on the
Cranberry Hills Subdivision Assessment. Mr. Logan was present
to explain to the Board how this Order would affect the Town
and School Taxes; the assessment was reduced by one-half, from
$330,000.00 to $165,000.00 which would reduce the Town Tax by
$3,300.00 and the School Tax by $15,000.00. He noted that the
School does not share the cost of the legal fee for this suit.
The Sewer Benefit Assessment would not be changed since this
is set by the Town Board. The Board had questions on the
Assessment Roll and the Tax Roll that this would affect and
a lengthy discussion followed.
The following resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR DIEHL
who moved its adoption:
BE IT RESOLVED, that Rosen Crane and Wolfson is hereby
directed to execute a Consent Judgment settling the WVC Realty
Corp. against the Town of Wappinger tax certiorari, a copy of
which is attached hereto and made part hereof, and that Rosen
Crane and Wolfson is authorized and directed to settle the
above captioned proceeding pursuant to the terms of said
judgment.

Mr. Johnson requested that the Comptroller be notified that
there would be a deficit of $3,300 in the Town Tax appropriation
due to this settlement and recommended that he research the
budget to make up this deficit.
A Public Hearing had been held on December 14, 1981 on a
rezoning application from Cornell and Drake for a change from
Residential to Planned Industry; the Hearing was recessed to
January 6, 1982 for additional information on what was planned
for the site. A letter was received from Michael Cornell
withdrawing the application for PI and submitting another request
for a change to OR -10A (Office Research - ten acres).
MR. DIEHL moved that the recessed Public Hearing scheduled for
January 6th, 1982 be cancelled, due to the fact that Cornell &
Drake had withdrawn their request for rezoning their property to
Planned Industry.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes 0 Nays
MR. DIEHL moved that the rezoning request of Cornell & Drake
for OR be referred to the Zoning Committee for review and
recommendation to the full Board.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Roll Call Vote: 3 Ayes Mr. Versace ---Nay
Mr. Versace, explaining his Nay vote, stated that the proper
procedure would be for the applicants to come before the Board
at a regular meeting and submit a definite plan; as it stood
now, there was nothing for the Zoning Committee to review.
G
A discussion followed between Mr. Logan and the Town Board
regarding litigation pending with Back Construction Company.
MR. DIEHL moved that Mr. Logan be authorized to discuss with
Wappinger Central School Officials-, the opinion of the Town
Board that the School share 2/3 of the legal expense incurred
in defense of the suit brought against the Town of Wappinger
by Brack Construction Company, as recommended in Mr. Logan's
letter to the Town Board.
