Mr. Rappleyea asked for authorization from the Town Board to hire
a surveyor in the matter of surveying the fence line at Mid -Hudson
Auto Wreckers to establish if it is properly located. A Public
Hearing is scheduled on the appeal of the denial of their
Salvage Yard License and since this seems to be the only violation,
he would like to have this matter attended to before the Hearing.
There was discussion on the history of the fence being erected,
possibly by direction of the former Zoning Administrator.
MR. DIEHL moved that if the attorney finds it necessary in order
to make a decision he should be authorized to hire a surveyor so
that a proper decision can be made as to the legal location of the
fence erected at Mid -Hudson Auto Wreckers Salvage Yard on Route 9D,
in the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Councilwoman Reilly
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Incoronato being recognized by the chair, thought they should
wait until they make a decision on the issuance of the:.license
before they spend money to hire a surveyor. The Board felt that
since this was the only existing violation, the decision should
be properly made.
SUPERVISOR DIEHL moved to adjourn the meeting.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson.
The meeting adjourned at 7:15 P.M.
Motion Unanimously Carried
