the findings in the
taken on this resolution Mr. Johnson commented
to the zoning ordinance is a tool and does not
parcel of property or determine any action,
resolution are correct. Further determinations
would be made at the time an application is submitted to the
Board under this zoming.
Mr. Incoronato, being recognized by the Chair, disagreed with
this piece meal zoning and questioned the Board on a schedule
for resuming action on thh adoption of a new ordinance.
Mr. Johnson, Chairman of the Ordinance Committee informed those
present that there had been definite action on their part to put
the wheels in motion on a new zoning ordinance; they had met with
985
the Planning Board, the Town Board and the consultants and were
presently working on a time table to present to the Board and
he anticipated holding a public hearing sometime in May.
Mr. Hawksley, being recognized by the Chair, referred to the
resolution just read on the significance of this amendment on the
environment, and asked if this would be referred to the various
agencies and what is the time allowed for replying to the reasons
stated. He felt he would like to comment on these declarations
before any action was taken. Mr. Adams disagreed with him and
4100 felt he was confusing this with entitlement action, rather than
direct action.

A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board of the Town
of Wappinger on January 15, 1979, on an Ordinance Amending the
Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger (Recreational Zoning),
the matter was now placed before them for their consideration.
The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN JENSEN who
moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, on December 29, 1978, Supervisor Diehl by resolution
moved the holding of a public hearing on an.amendment to the zoning
ordinance creating a recreational use development zone, and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment was referred to the planning
agencies of the Town of Wappinger and the County of Dutchess, and
WHEREAS, by letter of the Dutchess County Planning Board
dated January 12, 1979 recommending disapproval�fthe proposed
amendment to the zoning ordinance, and
WHEREAS, by letter of the Wappinger Planning Board dated
January 16, 1979 approval was recommended subject to the incorpora-
tion of two modifications set forth therein, and
WHEREAS it is the intent of the Town Board to adopt said
amendment incorporating the modifications recommended by the Town
Planning Board, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to General Municipal Law 239-m a statement
of reasons must accompany the adoption of an amendment to the
zoning ordinance when disapproval is recommended,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the amendment of the zoning
ordinance incorporating the changes recommended by the Town Planning
Board be adopted for the following reasons:
ONE: The proposed amendment will permit greater flexibility
in the planning of recreational sites in the town while affording
protection against the indiscriminate location otherwise.
TWO: The proposed amendment establishes sufficient criteria
to prevent indiscriminate misuse.of the recreational zone.
986
THREE: The minimum size of the eligible parcels (5 acres)
coupled with review procedures will minimize the impact, if any,
of recreation use development sites in residential zones.
FOUR: Setback requirements are modified to conform with
existing criteria and zones.
FIVE: The Town Board as an elective body will be sensitive
to those criteria outlined in the Planning Board's letter; formal
incorporation of the same would dilute the flexibility sought by
the town.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING
ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER
BE IT RESOLVED and ordained by the Town Board of the Town
of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York, in pursuance of the

by adding the following sections:
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 harmoniousliving environment relative to these uses that would
be otherwise not possible through a strict Euclidian zoning ord-
inance 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 town where develop-
ment of such use will be consistent and harmonious with the land
use structure of that area. This local law will establish guide-
lines 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 tradi-
tional 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.
Section 470.20. Eligibility Requirements
Subject to the terms of this local law, a recreational use
devdopment 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 (Five) 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 develop-
ment 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 geographical characteristics which
will adequately suit this purpose.
Section 470.30. Minimum Design Standards.
0 8 7
Section 470.30. Minimum Design Standards
a. No structure shall exceed two and one-half stories in
height or 35 feet whichever is less.
b. No building or structure shall be built closer than
50 feet from the street line or shall be built at a distance
greater from any street line or boundary line which is less
than that applicable in the district surrounding the property or
adjacent to the property.
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 use 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 470.35. Location of Recreational Use Development
The Recreational Use shall be applicable to any area of
the Town as determined by the Town Board.
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.
SECTION 11. This Ordinance shall take effect upon adoption,
posting and publication as provided by Town Law.

Dear Lou:
I have negotiated a settlement in the above case for the
amount of $258.76. This amount represents one-half of the amount
which we originally sought to collect. This settlement also
represents a change in the position of the insurance company which
had originally denied the entire claim. I would recommend to the
Town Board that this amount be accepted. If it is agreeable with
the Board, I have enclosed a copy of a resolution and a general
release. Please return the executed release at your earliest
convenience.
The Town may also want to consider whether or not it may
be more feasible to discontinue the use oft:the service line in
question.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate
to call.

Re: Televised Proceedings
Dear Members of the Board:
Under the provisions of Town Law Section 63, the Board
may establish by its own rules and regulations the conduct
of its meetings. Included within this power is a power to
either permit or prohibit recording of proceedings. The
option to permit or not to permit such televised proceedings
is one resting within your discretion.
If you decide to permit such proceeding to be televised,
you may want to consider whether or not you will also require,
as a precondition thereto, that the tapes of the proceeding
will be preserved for subsequent reference or whether they
shall be not so preserved. Related to this question will be
whether or not the transmitting organization will want to
undertake that expense associated with preserving such records.
In my opinion, some guidelines should be established with
respect to this.
Very truly yours,
Corbally, Gartland & Rappleyea
s/ Jon Holden Adams
This opinion was in answer to a letter received from Mr. Len
Marcus, District AV Coordinator from Wappingers Central School
District, requesting permission to televise Wappinger Town
Board meetings.

Mrs. Reilly felt they should meet with Mr. Marcus to discuss
this subject further; Mr. Johnson agreed and the Board requested
Mr. Diehl to set up a meeting with Mr. Marcus. It was agreed to
table any action on this matter tonight.
A report was received from Mr. Lapar on bids received for
installation of cleanout manhole at Oakwood Knolls. Two bids
were received --Wilson Excavators, 1nc.---$3,766.00 and Lafko
Associates, 1nc.---$4,980.00. Mr. Lapar felt the bids to be
excessive due to either misinterpretation of the work involved
or the time of year and recommended that they be rebid.
MR. JENSEN moved that the Engineer be directed to rebid for
installation of cleanout manhole at Oakwood Knolls.

The Highway Superintendent had advertized for bids for various
Highway materials and No. 2 fuel oil. Bids were received and
opened on February 5, 1979.
Mr. Jensen questioned the fact that there had been no bid
received for salt. Two companies had responded with letters
stating they had prior commitments for their supply. Either
prices are escalating too rapidly or there just is a serious
shortage of salt. Another problem is state enforcement of
weight laws; the carters are reluctant to bid because of the
burden to the truckers.

Motion Unanimously Carried
The matter of a Salvage Yard License for Mid -Hudson Auto
Wreckers was again placed before the Board. Communications
had been going back and forth between the two attornies
concerning a resolution adopted by the Town Board dated
November 13, 1978 listing conditions that had to be met in
order to comply with the requirements needed to obtain the
license. Mr. Johnson felt no further vote was need from the
Town Board; the Town Clerk wanted direction on when she was
supposed to issue this license; were all conditions met, was
the Board in agreement that the license could be issued, she
needed answers. It was now up to the Zoning Administrator to
determine if all conditions had been met to his satisfaction
and make a final report to the Board—this was the opinion of
Mr. Johnson.
MR. JOHNSON moved that Mr. Ruit, Zoning Administrator, be
instructed to report on the compliance of Mid -Hudson Auto
Wreckers, Inc. with the conditions set forth in the resolution
adopted by the Town Board November 13, 1978.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Incoronato, being recognized by the Chair, asked if Mid -
Hudson Auto Wreckers Inc. was operating without a license.
Mx. Diehl replied that they were and they were entitled to by
law. Mr. Adams explained that the position they take is that
inasmuch as they were previously operating, the right cannot
be cut off until he has been given an opportunity to correct
all violations and the Board makes a determination after having
heard.all the evidence. The Board is still considering certain
factors, and until they have made a decision, the business is
allowed to operate.
A letter was received

public hearings; it would be,better if they could all be done
at one hearing rather than hold several. The Board agreed to
table action on this local law until the next meeting.
Mrs. Connie Smith, Town Historian, was present to speak to the
Board on an historical sign she wished to purchase and erect.

measure 24" x 48", would cost approximately $77..20, would read
"Mt. Hope Peint, Highest Point in the Town of Wappinger, 1,000
feet above tide; this beacon was erected here by the close survey
to serve as a point in the triangulation of the Hudson River Vailey".
She had a choice of colors and asked the Board for their opinion
of this. The money was available in her Historian Account and
she requested further permission to seek the Highway Department's
help in erecting this sign. There was some discussion about the
accuracy of the fact that this spot was indeed the highest point;
some felt it was in the Cedar Hill area, but Mrs. Smith insisted
she had researched it and this was accurate.
MRS. MILLS moved that permission be given to Mrs. Smith Town
Historian to purchase and erect a sign indicating the highest point
in the Town of Wappinger and she should use her own discretion as
to choice of colors and also to seek the cooperation of Mr. Horton
when the sign was ready to erect.

A letter was received from the Wildwood Manor Apartment Complex
conceening an increase in their O&M charges for the Wildwood Sewer
District. They formally paid $2,775 per quarter based on a 3/4
unit for each apartment; however they should have been paying based
on a charge of 1 unit for each apartment and it would raise the
fee by $3,700 or $37.00 per apartment. Their complaint was that
a three or four room apartment is not equal to a single family
dwelling, some with three or four bedrooms. They asked that the
Board reconsider the matter and reinstate the previous assessment.
The Board had previously discussed the matter and felt this was
the way he had to be, this was the position they were taking.
MR. JENSEN moved to receive the letter and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson.
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from the Planning Board urging the Board to
consider an Imperial Boulevard Connector Road and felt it should be
completed to Myers Corners Road. They felt strongly that both
Town and Village Planning Boards thould cooperate in this matter
and move with speed to accomplish this project.
The Town Board felt they were reminding them as it had been
previously discussed by both Boards; they certainly concurred with
the Planning Board in this matter but there was a matter of finances,
and they would have to take one step at a time to accomplish the
various projects they had discussed.
Mr. Diehl directed that a letter be sent to the Planning Board
advising them that it is the intent of the Town Board to proceed
with this connector road when it is financially feasible.
The following memo to Mr. Diehl from Mr. Lapar was read:
February 1, 1979
Memo To: Louis D. Diehl, Supervisor
From: Rudolph Lapar, Engineer to the Town
Subject: Discharge of Plastic Pipe onto Martin Drive
from 49 Martin Drive (Residents of James &
Francene D' Aleo )
During the construction of the Martin Drive, Mid -Point Park
Storm Drainage System, our inspector was informed by the owners
of 49 Martin Drive that the white plastic pipe discharging from
their property was the drain from their swimming pool and there-
fore, deemed no problem during the winter months.
On January 31, 1979, together with Bill Horton, Highway Supt.
and Ken Croshier, Deputy Highway Supt., we observed that said
pipe is presently discharging a large amount of water into the
street, causing a dangerous icing condition.
It is my recommendation that you inform the said resident to
cease and deceast from such action and either cut off the pipe
and replace the curb, or tie said surface water into the Town
Storm Sewer System as soon as possible.
It is our further recommendation that if this is not done in a
reasonable time, the Towns' Attorney take whatever legal steps
necessary to have the homeowner remedy this situation.
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar
Engineer to the Town
MR. DIEHL moved that a letter be sent to the owner of the said
property to take the necessary action to remove the pipe as
stated in Mr. Lapar's letter and further to notify Mr. Horton
of this action so that he can make a site inspection and advise
the Board of the completion of this removal of the pipes or
whatever corrective action was taken, with a time limit of 30
days.

In addition, all meters in unheated areas of the home or areas

Very truly yours,
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar

In regard to the problem they seemed to be having with the
meters in the cold weather we have been experiencing, Mr. Lapar
said he would put an addendum on the installation specs that
the owners should keep the meters in a heated room and that the
Town would not be responsible for them once they were in the
residents"home. Mr. Johnson suggested sending a notice to the
homeowners with the bills although they were already sent out for
this quarter. Mrs. Mills asked the press to make note of this
and alert homeowners to house the meters properly.

Re: New Well at Tall Trees
Dear Board Members:
As you may well be aware, a new well was drilled and tested in
the fall of 1976 for Proposed Tall Trees Section IV. Although
this well was not approved (see our letter of March 1977 enclosed)
the well could certainly be used as an auxiliary to the Tall Trees
System. We do not know if Round Tree Builder Corp. has any pre-
prioritary rights to the drilled well, if they do not, then the
Town could proceed to test the well and make application to the
D.C.H.D. for use. Elements of construction would include a well
enclosure and alteration to the existing well house with related
pumps, piping and appurtenances.

yield of both wells.*

Very truly yours,
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E.
*The existing well will, of course, pump into the system and
the water will be used as usual.
Mr. Diehl directed the Attorney to write to the developer for the
information needed as to pre-prioritary rights etc. and this matter
will be tabled until the next meeting.

The next matter on the Agenda was a letter from Mr. Hawksley,
Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Council regarding the
Floating Recreation Zone and the fact that the Council felt
that an Environmental Impact Statement would be required.
This subject had been discussed previously at the adoption of
the amendment and therefore needed no action from the Board.
A letter was received from the Planning Board asking the Board
to urge the County to have internal bus pickup in the proposed
Waldbaum Shopping Center site, rather than on Route 9. There
was enclosed with this communication a letter from Eric Gillert,
Associate Planner of Dutchess County Department of Planning
addressed to Victor Fanuele, Chairman of the Planning Board.
The letter stated that one of the planners in the Transportation
Division of the County Planning had reviewed the design of the
shopping center and determined that an internal stop was not
justified and that the county busses would stop on Route 9 for
pickup.
MR. JENSEN moved that a letter be directed to the Dutchess County
Department of Planning stating that the Town Board of the Town of
Wappinger respectfully requests that a shelter be installed within
the Waldbaum Shopping Center for internal pickup of passengers
for the loop bus rather than on Route 9; the County Legislators
of Wappinger should receive a copy of this communication and
also enclose copy of Mr. Gillert's, letter.

Mr. Diehl requested a fifteen minute recess at 10:05 P.M.
The Board reconvened at 10:30 P.M. and all Board members were

Under Committee Reports, Mrs. Smith who was present earlier and
had since departed left a message with the Town Clerk that
Community Day for the Town of Wappinger had been set for September
9, 1979, the themewould be Story Book Land, and the first meeting
would be on March 28, 1979 at Town Hall, for those interested in
participating. She had requested that the Town Board members
attend and participate.

Mr. Jensen reporting on Tri -Municipal stated that the EPA and
DEC had indicated that they would approve that addendums to the
consultant's work be completed. The consultants met with
Ecol Sciences to structure Task A which involves compiling of
16,000 letters to be sent out, which would be a questionaire
type form, self addressed envelope which will be returned to the
Commission and EPA for their review. They had their election of
officers and they remained the same as last year --Mr. Jensen,
Chairman, Vice Chairman, Arthur McCluskey, Secretary Peter
Schinella, and Treasurer, Katherine Carroll, which represents
one from each Town.
Mrs. Reilly, Chairman of Building and Housing Committee reported
that she and Mr. Jensen met with an architect to discuss anew
Town Hall, on the site at Middlebush Road. They had requested
him, at that time, to submit a cost for conducting a survey of
the Town offices. She had received his proposal in the amount
of $600.00 and she requested that the Board act on this tonight
so this project could be started.
The proposal read as follows:

Re: Proposed Town Offices
Wappinger, New York
Members of the Board:
On Thursday, February 8, 1979, I met with Board members, Mrs.
Janet Riley and Mr. Leif Jensen in general discussion about a
possible Town Offices project.
As a result of this discussion, I was asked to submit a fee
proposal for the conducting of a space needs survey in order to
arrive at the amount of building space needed to accommodate the
various Town departments.
Accordingly, I offer the following:
The Architect shall meet with the Town Board or a
Committee of its choice as required to define the
functions, personnel and departments for which a
building or buildings must be considered.
1009
On the basis of such input, the Architect will perform
the studies needed and provide a report setting forth
the office areas recommended along with an estimate
of the total building area needed; such estimate being
suitable for future architectural preliminary planning
of Town building or buildings.
The fee proposed for the above is $600.00.
Should the Architect be made the Architect for the Town
Offices building project, the afore -mentioned fee shall
be credited towards the architectural fee for the
project.
It is understood that acceptance of this proposal by
the Town Board will in no way bind or obligate the
Town of Wappinger beyond the above.
I would look forward to serving the Town of Wappinger and
hope that the above may receive your favorable consideration.
Very truly yours,
s/ Louis Battoglia, A.I.A.
MR. DIEHL moved to accept this offer under the conditions
offered from the firm of Louis Battoglia Associates, Architects.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mrs. Mills ---Nay
Mrs. Mills qualified her Nay vote by stating that this was the
first she had heard of this meeting and proposal and she has not
had the opportunity to study it. She would have liked to discuss
it further and see if this was the way to go; she has no objection
to a new Town Hall.
Mrs. Mills asked Mr. Diehl about the situation with Atlas Water,
a private water company serving the Wildwood Area; it seems they
had problems with the service during the past week. Mr. Diehl
had contacted the Dutchess County Health Department with a report
on the lack of service. They in turn had contacted Mr. Lafko
owner of the water company and had arranged to put in a back-up
generator which would be installed sometime in the month of April;
it seems most of the problem was from power failure. Mr. Diehl
expected to get confirmation on this from Mr. Gray in the Health
Department.
Mr. Johnson wished to speak on the new amendment on recreational
use development that was just adopted and its effect on the present
zoning ordinance. Should they amend the ordinance so that all
recreation would come under this one new floating zone, should they
remove permitted use of recreation; would that take away a tool.
1 01 0
Mr. Adams suggested that it might be appropriate to amend the
existing ordinance to remove the recreational uses since there
might be inconsistencies; put it all under the floating recreation.
Mr. Johnson then reported on the progress of the new proposed
zoning ordinance or modified one which has been discussed with
members of the Planning Board and zoning Board of Appeals and
the planning consultant. There will be slight modifications
but not deviations from what had been previously proposed by
the previous Town Board. At this time it looked like they might
be able to have a public hearing in May give or take thirty days.
He felt it should be before the vacation period so there would
be public participation.
Mrs. Mills had questionsabout the Hydrant Report that is sub-
mitted by the Highway Department each month. Going through this
report she found details on individual hydrants and what the
problem was but nothing on the solution of the problem --were
they repaired? She would like clarification on this. How many
are actually completed and in service?
Mr. Jensen commented on the detail written on some of the hydrants --
riser too high or riser too low. Actually, he stated there is no
certain height it has to be; they do not have to be a certain
height above the ground in order to make it functional.
A lease was submitted to the Town Board for approval on the
Schlathaus property,. which had been prepared by the Attorney.
Mr. Diehl felt that by leasing the house it would be kept in
good condition since the provisions of the lease were that the
house be maintained and the grounds taken care of.
The conditions read as follows:
In addition to the payment of rent heretofore provided, it
shall be the responsibility of the Tenant to act as Caretaker
for the premises to safeguard the same from uses inconsistent
with the recreational use of the premises.
All rents paid by the Tenant shall be placed in a separate
account by the landlord and shall be used by the landlord only
to promote the recreation uses of the land as expressed in the
last will and testament of George Schlathaus.
10
The leased premisesshall not include the basement area not used
for tenant's washer and dryer.
The Tenant shall mow the existing lawn area surrounding the
premises.
The area of premises other than the residence shall remain
accessible to recreational uses conducted by the Town.
Mr. Johnson wished to make it clear that other areas and buildings
not included in the lease could be used by the Town for recreational
‘0,0 facilities, hence the last condition was added.
MRS. REILLY moved that the Supervisor be authorized to execute the
lease on behalf of the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. DIEHL moved to set a Special Meeting for February 23, 1979 at
5:00 P.M. for the purpose of considering the proposal submitted
by Sheraton Enterprises on RUD, and any other business that may
come before the Board.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly
