The following letters were placed before the Board: April 25, 1972 Town Board I :: r. .. r Town of Wappingen 1 Town Hall, Mill' Street Wappingers Falls; New York 12590 Gentlemen: Thanksto the; -:efforts and cooperation. of Dr.:Daniel Hannigan and Mr. William Horton, the Town of Wappinger presently has an opportunity to resume the "Junk Car Project" which was started about a year ago, and never completed. Dr. Hannigan can arrange -to have a portable car crusher brought into the Town and set up, and Mr. Horton has given consent y 11z t to have the crusher set up on a portion of the Town Highway property off ,Old. Route' 9. This progxamlis very much needed in the Town. There, are many abandoned junk cars on properties where the owners have no means of disposing of them. I have issued numerous Orders to Remedy these violations and these violators have contacted me, asking how they can have. the cars removed. Outstanding Orders, at present total better than 50 junk cars; and there are many more Orders to be issued. I would, therefore, strongly recommend that the.Town;Board give serious consideration to authorizing this project. I agree with Mr. Horton that there should be restrictions governing this project, especially in regard to the disposal of the tires, upholstery, etc. which will be removed from the vehicles before they are crushed. As a result of last year's project; this debris was dumped off Route 915 at the southerly end of Sidney Shapiro's_junk.yard., I; therefore, feel the. Town should have - some sort of guarantee that this debris will be disposed of properly. Respectfully yours, s/ Susan J. Pike Zoning Administrator April 24, 1972 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: Last week I was approached by Dan Hannigan in regard to temporarily placing a, crusher at the ;Town Highway Garage site for the purpose of crushing junk cars located throughout the Town., While I have no objection to locating .the crusher at the Town Garage, I do feel certain regulations must be enforced to protect the taxpayer S s- investmentH in. machinery and, equipment located adjacent to the proposed site. A limit as to the number of junk cars on the site at any one time: should be imposed. Also, the accumulation of tires; gas tanks, upholstery, etc., should be kept to a minimum to reduce the chances of fire. Further, I feel the proposed site must be vacated by September 1, 1972, in order that normal use of the site for highway purposes may resume. I would be happyto discuss any of these points with the Board. Very:truly yours, s/ William P. Horton MR. DIEHL moved to reestablish the Junk Car Program for the Town of Wappinger and it is to be carried out under the same conditions as were in effect last year, in part, to pay $5.00 per car to the 3 L L 1i3 to the Lions.Club except for those cars on commercial establish- ments, and that the site shall be established on the Town of Wappinger Highway Department property. This project shall be restricted to vehicles only on properties within the Town of Wappinger. The Committee governing this project shall comprise of William Horton, Highway Superintendent, Susan Pike, Zoning Adminis- trator and Robert L'Archevesque, County Representative., also Dr. Hannigan. MR. JENSEN moved that the project facilities on the Highway Depart- ment property be governed solely by Mr. Horton. Seconded by Mr. Holt. - Roll Call Vote: 3 Ayes 0 Nays It was agreed that the cut-off date should be no later than September 1, 1972. The Board authorized Mr. Horton to set forth any restrictions he deemed necessary and that if the project is not being carried out to Mr. Horton's satisfaction, he can termin- ate operations at any time prior to this date. It was also further agreed that disposal of all seats, gas tanks, etc, that are removed from the cars before crushing shall be disposed of properly by the operator of the crusher.
