We are in receipt of your review of the Town of Wappinger's 2025 Comprehensive Plan Updates and
Zoning Amendments. Although we appreciate the time that was put into your review, I would like to raise
a number of concerns with you and the members of your team.
Overview of Review
As noted in the ACTION section of your review, the Town of Wappinger undertook the updates to the
2010 Comprehensive Plan and zoning code with the goal of improving the predictability of "permitted
housing densities" and to "align infrastructure capacity improvements to accommodate future growth."
To that end, we stand by the proposed 2025 Comprehensive Plan Updates and Zoning., Amendments and
contend they will achieve the aforementioned goal.
The Town of Wappinger remains committed to providing a framework that allows for the development of
a variety of housing choices, retail opportunities, and employment choices, while continuing to safeguard
agricultural. uses, the Town's natural environmental dualities, and our residents' quality of life. This
cannot occur with unplanned or haphazard growth, insufficient infrastructure capacities, and inequities in
how such infrastructure is funded. It is imperative that the true cost of future growth and infrastructure
investments not be disproportionately placed on the backs of current residents.
As noted in your review, the "coirrplekity in the Town's zoning code appears to result from incremental
changes made over time without a oPmprehensive planning framework." The Town of Wappinger
disputes this, but does note that what you noted is exactly what these proposed. changes will fix the
mismatched quilted pattern of codes. Currently, approximately 16.4 acres within the Town of Wappinger
are zoned as multifamily. However, with the incremental changes, as referenced above, including
Designed Residential Development, PPDs, Conservation Development, and other unclear provisions,
multifamily could occur on more than lust the 16.4 acres that are mapped and zoned for such. use. Not
only is this approach completely unpredictable, it is completely unsustainable. Not addressing such
unpredictable zoning provisions would be irresponsible. This is precisely why the Town is now putting
forth the updates as presented in its 2025 Comprehensive Plan Updates and Zoning Amendments,
Despite the well-intentioned goals that accompanied the incremental changes, unintended consequences
that were not apparent at the time, x including a sharp increase'in the allowance for RMOdd
commercial development in single family districts, must now be addressed.

Response to County Comments
We offer the following additional feedback to the County's review of the Town of Wappinger°s proposed
2025 Comprehensive Plan Updates and Zoning Ameridtnents:;Items in bold denote the County's
comments, while the Town of Wappinger'si responses are in italics.
I. Dutchess County's 2022 Ron sing;llleeds-Assessment identifies a::critical countywide meed to
increase both the number and variety of housing types to address persistent challenges in
housing availability and affordability.
Dutchess County's 2022 Housing Needs Assessment was flawed in that the data provided specific
to Wappinger was incomplete and inaccurate,
Since the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, the housing inventory/variety.in the Town of Wapinger has
been greatly expanded, providing various housing types and affordability. The updated data is not
currently reflected in the 2010 Plan, necessitating the update.
In reviewing data provided by Dutchess County Real Property, the facts are overwhelmingly clear
that the Dutchess County Housing Study is based on flawed numbers by voluntary survey, results.
The Town of Wappinger has 4,006 multifamily units.
2. The Town of %appinger is well-positionedto contribute to this effo, rt clue to its water and
sewer infrastructure and its history of accommodati.ng re-iclenk al growth.
The Town is not well positioned with regard to the water and sewer infrastructure. Using the
County's ridiculous preferred census population count of22,465, there are only 4,386 water
customers and 3,464 sewer customers. Any expansion of these systems should be made available
to facilitate the health, safety and welfare of current residents:.be ore<ex ara�lin to
accoenrnacdate uture rowth.
A comprehensive understanding of the Town of Wappingers sewer and -water capacity for; growth
is not known. This is partially due to the fact that PUDs, which lack specificity of uses, are
roadblocks to comprehensive sewer and water analysis, These floating zones that were part of the
"incremental changes made over time" allow for commercial uses including sh.oppingfaeilities
within residential zones.' A PUD creates dynarnic change because once established,' additional
lands that abut it can also be developed as'a PUD: These could include very intensive sewer and
water users, making existing sewer and -water capacity analysis nearly impossible.
I The,proposed Comprehensive -Plan update.and zoning pmendments,include a series.of
changes that collectively -reduce opportunities for,multifa,mily housing, includitig,the,
elimination of allowances for converting large single4amily'homes into twos or mulct -family
units.
The County fails to recognize that one of the primary purposes of zoning is to guide land
development and ensure it aligns with the community's long-range goals, protecting public
health, safety and welf:.are. Converting single family homes .iniq,two or multi -family units is not
just a zoning issue but a matter ofpublic health, s:.afety and welfare. Currently, this provision
allows conversion of up to six (6) units. A minimum, of 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit is
required, with no maximum. Most developers would likely provide two spaces per unit, as it
would be easier to assign. At that ratio, the. •impervious surfaces for parking, would. he 2,400
square feet, not including circulation, This could have a.tremendous negative effect,on
stormwater runoff, heat island effect, and the overall quality of life for• nearby residents,
4. The proposed, Comprehensive Plan update and zoning amendments include a series of
changes that collectively reduce opportunities for multifamily housing, including the
elimination ofDesignedResidential Developments; which permit varied housing types.
This provision, ,240-50; was previously repealed, with ,¢240-19 (Conservation Subdivisions)
cited as an alternative. The existing 2010 Comprehensive Plan notes that Planned tlnit
Development is complicated and should'!be changed to specify "water and sewer service
requirement's necessary for site -plan approval. " Both-PUDS and Designed Residential
Development allow for commercial uses, creating uncertainty with regard to water and sewer
infrastructure capacity.
The purpose of a "cluster development" is to provide an alternative method for the "layout,
configuration and design of lots, buildings and structures, roads,. utilities litres and other
infrastructure, parks, and landscaping in order to preserve the natural and scenic qualities of
open lands. ". (Town Law § 278). Currently; the Town has n guidelines, conditions and/or
requirements to preserve the natural and scenic qualities of open lands. In recognition of this, the
Town is proposing changes to its Conservation Development to address this.
5. The proposed ComprehensiveYlan update and zoning amendments include a series of
changes that collectively reduce opportuinities for;multifamilyhousing, including confining
multifamily zoning to a few nearly uilt=oat districts, with no new areas proposed.
Until the Town of Wappingei� is able to complete a comprehensive sewer and water capacity
analysis, and has the time and finding to allow for a full Comprehensive Plan update, it is not in
a position to increase the areas where multifamily housing can occur. This is a more responsible
approach then the current one; which is to neap and zone 16.4 acres for multifamily units, but in
reality, allow it on m6 than `8,'000 acres through PUDs, Cluster Developments, Designed
Residential Development, Conservation Development, or other provisions.
6. The proposed Comprehensive Plan update and zoning amendments include a series of
changes that collectively reduce opportunities forjm.ultifamily housing, including revising
definitions to classify townhomes as multifamily dwellings, further limiting where they can
be constructed.
The Town of Wappinger isnot redefining multifamily dwelling._As noted in NYS Multiple
Dwelling Law:
A "multiple dwelling" is a dwelling which is either rented, leased, let or hired out, to be occupied,
or is occupied as the residence or home of three or more families living independently of each
other (NYS Multiple Dwelling Law). Ownership of the units is not germane to the definition. A
town home that is part of a complex with several similar units, is classified as multifamily, even if
each unit is individually owned, as any individually owned unit, could be rented out.
7. As established in Berenson v. Town of New Castle and unci Master v. Town of
Montgomery, municipalities in: New York.have a, responsibility to consider regional housing
needs when making land use decisions., Restricting multifamily housing in this way,
especially without a clear and consistent planning basis, undermines that responsibility and
may be viewed as.exclusionary..
In 1975, the Court of Appeals decided the case ofBerenson v. Town ofIVew Castle which
broadened the concept of comprehensive plans to include an assessment ofrepfonal housing
needs. Although the case is often citedfor its impact: on so-called "exclusionary zoning"
practtces, the decision actually extends the statutory mandate that zoning be in accordance with a
comprehensive plan. The court stated that its concern was not whether each zone was a balanced
entity, but instead whether the municipality itself was to be: "a balanced and integrated
community. " The court then proceeded to lay down a test for this determination, the first branch
of which was that a "properly balanced and well -ordered plan for the community" had been
provided (citing Udell v. Haas, supra). It is the second branch of the test that expands the concept
of comprehensive plans, namely, whether a zoning law demonstrates. that consideration is given
to regional needs and requirements:; The "regionalneeds"o� rtion_of the Berens on decision has
somewhere in the zoning law.
8. In addition to thesebroader concerns, the proposed update lacks the depth and internal
consistency expected of a meaningful plan revision:
The proposed update is thorough and has been the subject of numerous Town Board discussions
and presentations with public comment. The Town Board endeavored to limit the planning
process mainly to housing and infrastructure to allow the updates to be focused and involve a
greater depth than a broad plan update, The updates are consitentwith'the public dialog. A
public hearing allowing for public input will be held prior.to adopting any additional future local
laws.
9. Internal Consistency, The proposed update directly pontra.dicts the Tow'n's 2010
Comprehensive Plan, particularly with regard to housing. That plan,.supported by public
input and data analysis, identified.a clear need to expand housing Affordability and choice.
The proposed update to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan is not contradictory, In 2010 it "identified
a clear need toexpand housing affordability and choice; " Since that: time that goal has been
achieved. Comparing the 64% single family to 36% multifamily split in 2010 to the 62/38 split in
2023 is not. reflective of the increase sand variety of inventory.,
10. Data Accuracy. Some population and housing figures appear to include data from the
Village of Wappingers Falls, which distorts the picture of conditions specific & the Town.
Obviously, the data has changed in 15 years. While the County cites that the Town's population
is "virtually unchanged" from 2010, the housing inventory and variety has substantially
increased since then.
Excluding the Village of Wappingers Falls from the "picture of conditions to the Town " only
distorts consideration for traffic generating characteristics, environmental impact, infrastructure
impacts, impacts on services such as fire, community/regional character, and community
facilities to name a few. 3/ of this Village is within the Town of Wappinger. They pay taxes here,
receive Town services, and elect Town officials — it is outright absurd that we would exclude them
from this most important analysis that affects the entire Town.
11. Public Involvement. There is no documentation of recent community input, even though the
policies currently proposed contrast sharply with. those in. the 2010 Plan, which was built on
direct feedback from residents
Under NYS Town Law, a public hearing will be held, providing for community input and
feedback, prior to adopting the updated plan and zoning amendment. In addition, the
Comprehensive Plan Updates and Zoning Amendments were discussed during at least two Town
Board meetings, where public input was allowed and provided.
i
12. Infrastructure Capacity.. The update suggests that infrastructure has not kept pace with
development but provides no supporting data,for this claim.
The Town has had to incre ase police patrol and add ambulances. Our four volunteer fire
companies cannot withstand this significant strain on public emergency services.
The Wappingers Central School District (WCSD) budgetpassed with an expansion to both
Wappingers Falls Junior .High and Tran WyckkJunior High. The ever-increasing school budget
places a burden on the taxpayers, who live here now, and are on fixed income, More people
require more services, which means more taxes, not greater affordability. This comes following
our Superintendent of (Schools who warned in April of 2022, that if this community continues
down this path of overdevelopment, we would see capital projects and steep tax increases such as
this.
In May, 2024; an Engineer's Report evaluating the United Wappinger Water District was
completed. Currentlythe only new connections being considered are those required to remedy
an emergency situation. The existing UWWD source capacity safely accommodates average day
and peak day demand Any excess capacity is intended to be reserved to mitigate emergency
situations. Petitions to connect to the UWWD via tenancy agreement will be granted where the
anticipated usage is determined to not have a significant impact on the needed and reserved
excess capacity,
13. Planning Approach.46 agree that simplifying zoning is a worthwhile goal. However, much
of the complexity in Ilse Town's zoning code ;a pears.to result from incremental changes
made over time without a coMprehensive plataning framework. The.proposed Plan update
continues this pattern, lntrodluchig.piecemeal alterations to the Comprehensive Plan to
support narrow changes. to the zoning code. This approach risks exacerbating the confusion
and co . plexi that the Town seeps .to address,. A, coordinated, .complete update to .the
Comprehensive Plan and, then to the zoning.code wouldoffer a more effective and lasting
solution.
The complexityfound in the Town's Zoning Code is partially due to a greater focus on regional
rather than local needs, not just incremental change. The changes over time are in response to
regional housing challenges, which have led to an overall complexity and unintended
consequences to the Town V Zoning Code. The proposed changes are meant to simplify the Code,
and guard against unintended, and adverse consequences.
In the County's response to the referral for the repeal of §240-50 it states: "We understand that
some terminology in §240-50 is outdated. however, instead of repealing this section entirely, the
Town Board should instead initiate a review and update of the process and definitions. "
The Court of Appeals states: "A well -considered plan need not be contained in a single
document; indeed, it need not be written at all. The court may satisfy itse rthat the municipality
has a well -considered plan and that authorities are acting in the public interest to further it by
examining all available and relevant evidence of the municipality's land use policies. "
Examples of where courts have found evidence of comprehensive planning are zoning laws,
environmental reviews and findings, legislative findings relating to adoption of a law or
ordinance, minutes of the legislative body, studies and a previously adopted plan. The Town o
WaI212inger is meeting all these requirements.
The NYS Department of State's Zoning and the Comprehensive Plan guide states: The
comprehensive plan invariably includes a thorough analysis of current data showing land
development trends and issues, community resources, and public needs for transportation,
recreation, and housing. Zoning is merely one method —albeit an important one—for
implementing the goals of the plan. Having a comprehensive or well -considered plan ensures that
forethought and planning precede zoning and zoning amendments.
The most important theme in the leading cases interpreting the requirement that zoning he in
accordance with a comprehensive plan is the language in those cases indicating that the courts
will look to see whether zoning is for the benefit of the whole municipality
This requirement does not, however, preclude future zoning amendments that "respond to
changed conditions in the community...". The question iswhether the change "conflict[s] with
the fundamental land use policies and development plans of the community... "
These proposed changes are a response to changing conditions, unforeseen circumstances, and a
desire to ensure that infrastructure capacity and improvements can accommodate current uses
and future growth.
Conclusion
As noted in the proposed 2025 Comprehensive Plan Updates, the Town intends to undertake a full rewrite
of the Comprehensive Plait in the near fiuture, as funds for such an endeavor are available. However, an
interim update to the Comprehensive Plan was completed, among other things, to ensure that
development does not occur at a rate that outpaces the Town's ability to upgrade is infrastructure to
accommodate such growth, and to ensure that land use regLilatioris do not become so overly complicated
that there is no predictability or certainty to both current residents and fixture investors. The zoning
amendments that are being proposed are intended to fully address the issues outlined in the 2025
Comprobsnive Platt Update and ensure that the zoning ordinance is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Sincerely,
Joseph D. Cavaccini, Town Supervisor

the UWWD water distribution system in good condition without leaks.
A. When leakage occurs on pipes and facilities owned by Owner, Owner shall make
the necessary repairs immediately when they are discovered. If Owner fails to make
said repairs as soon as possible, the Town may take such steps necessary to protect
the Town water supply, including, if necessary, the right to discontinue water

Owner shall pay the Town the restoration of service charge.
B. Owner shall replace or repair such portions of the water improvements that are
deemed necessary by the Town Engineer or the Water Department within the time
prescribed by the notice to cure. If Owner fails to make said repairs or replacement

RELIEF FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR DEFAULT OTHER
THAN DEFAULT OF FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS PROVIDED THAT UWWD SHALL
SEEK IN SUCH ORDER AND PERMIT A REASONABLE CURE PERIOD FOR DEFAULTS
WHICH DO NOT PRESENT AN IMMEDIATE HAZARD TO LIFE, PROPERTY OR
HEALTH.
12. EARLY TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT Subject to the right of Owner to challenge
any governmental order or directive that Owner asserts is invalid or unreasonable, Owner shall comply

B. This Agreement shall terminate if Owner does not commence construction of the
improvements within three years of the execution of this Agreement by both
parties.
C. The Owner acknowledges that the Town has the right and obligation under this
Agreement to discontinue water service to customers outside the District when
the UWWD's water supply is insufficient to meet the needs of District residents.
In the event that there is no longer surplus water capacity to service the Property,
the Town may seek judicial authorization to terminate water service under this
Agreement. The Town shall give the Owner sufficient time to obtain an alternative
water source and construction of a connection to such alternate source, in
6
accordance with said approval. In no event shall the notice period be less than
three months, except in the case of an emergency.

right to enter upon the Property at reasonable times to inspect the water improvements in order to
determine that the water improvements are functioning properly and are in compliance with this
Agreement, the Town of Wappinger Code and other applicable laws. The right to inspect shall not
be construed to place the Town in a position of responsibility for maintaining the Owner's water
distribution system. The purpose of inspections is to protect the UWWD's water system. Failure to
permit access to inspect the water improvements shall be considered a default of this Agreement and
the Town shall be authorized to discontinue service until such time suitable access is provided.
15. EMERGENCY REPAIRS The Town and its employees and agents shall have the right to
enter upon the Properties in the case of an emergency to make such repairs to the water system that

236-6(B)(1)(b)(1)&(2) for each Property. Should the Owner wish to connect an additional structure
not included in this agreement, Town Board approval is required, and an additional buy -in fee will be
required.
18. WATER PRESSURE The continuing adequacy of the Town's water pressure is in no way
guaranteed by the Town.
A. The Owner shall be allowed to conduct any tests it deems appropriate to determine
that the water pressure of the UWWD Water System is sufficient for its needs. All
such tests must be completed before the buy -in fee is due. In the event that these
tests determine that the water pressure of the UWWD Water System is not
sufficient, the Owner may terminate this Agreement. Once the incentive fee has
been paid, the Owner may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section.
B. The Owner acknowledges that they have the opportunity to become fully familiar
with the water pressure supplied to the Property by the UWWD water system and
any limitations said pressure may have on any firefighting apparatus. With this
knowledge the Corporation accepts the water pressure "as is".
19. PROHIBITED USES The Properties may only be used as described herein. If any of the
Properties are subdivided, approval will be required for additional connections.
20. COSTS & ATTORNEYS FEES — The Owner is liable for all costs, charges, duties and
responsibilities imposed upon the Owner by this Agreement. The parties may enforce this Agreement
by judicial action and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney's
fees in any action to enforce this Agreement.
21. COOPERATION — It is expressly understood that the parties' good faith efforts and due
diligence in proceeding with the approvals, planning and construction of the proposed project are
expressly made terms and conditions of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, although they
have attempted to incorporate and resolve all matters relative to the proposed improvements, certain
matters will likely arise hereafter which were not addressed in whole or in part by this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto shall, in good faith, cooperate to do all things, which may become
necessary in the future to effectuate the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
22. AUTHORITY — It is expressly understood and acknowledged that the signatories to this
Agreement have the power to bind their respective parties to all of the terms and conditions contained
herein. All resolutions of the respective governing bodies of the Town have been adopted by the
appropriate legislative authority.
23. APPLICABLE LAW This Agreement shall be governed under the laws of the State of
New York.
24. VENUE Venue for any dispute arising from this Agreement shall be placed in a New York
State Court of competent jurisdiction located within the County of Dutchess, State of New York.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement and any attachments hereto constitute the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written. No modification or
claimed waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the duly
authorized representative against whom such modification or waiver is sought to be enforced.
26. WAIVER None of the terms of this Agreement can be waived or modified except by an
express Agreement in writing signed by both parties. There are no representations, promises,
warranties, covenants, or undertakings other than those contained in this Agreement, which represents
the entire understanding of the parties. The failure of either party hereto to enforce, or the delay by
either party in enforcing, any of its rights under this Agreement shall not be deemed a continuing
waiver or a modification thereof and either party may, within the time provided by applicable law,
commence appropriate legal proceedings to enforce any or all of such rights.
27. SEVERABILITY All rights, powers and remedies provided herein may be exercised only
to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable law, and are intended to be
limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or
not entitled to be recorded under any applicable law. If any term, covenant or condition of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of the other terms,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall in no way be affected thereby.
28. EXTENSION OF SPECIAL DISTRICT UWWD and the Town of Wappinger reserve
the right to extend the boundaries of UWWD to include Owner's Properties. If petitioned by the
Owner pursuant to Article 12 of the Town Law, the Town will use best efforts to extend the District.
The Owner agrees to irrevocably execute any Petition pursuant to Article 12 of the Town Law to
extend the boundaries of the UWWD to include the Property, or for any other Water District formed
by the Town to include the Property. If the Town Board on its own motion, pursuant to Article 12A
of the Town Law, determines to extend the boundaries of the UWWD to include the Property or to
create a new District the boundaries of which will encompass the Property, Owner will not take any
action to oppose the Town Board's actions. If the UWWD is extended to cover the Property this
Agreement shall terminate and the Property shall be bound by the laws and regulations applicable to
the UWWD.
29. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS This Agreement is binding upon the heirs, successors and
assigns of Owner and it shall run with the land comprising the Properties and the parties shall record
this Agreement or a Memorandum of this Agreement with the Clerk of Dutchess County, indexed to

30. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS Each party will, at any time and from time to time, at the
request of any other party make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, all such
further acts, deeds or other documents as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to complete the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

RESOLUTION 2025-156
DOC ID: 6441
Extend the UWWD to include the property, known as 91-95
New Hackensack Road
WHEREAS, the Town Board is in receipt of a Petition to extend the United Wappinger Water
District to include certain property known as 91-95 New Hackensack Road (the "Extension")
which is owned by Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park, Inc., 1 Laurenda Lane, Wappingers

Please find attached the following documents relative to the above referenced project:
• Draft Petition requesting extension of the United Wappinger Water District with
attachments
• Completed Short Environmental Assessment Form (EAF)
• Review memo from Barton & Loguidice, dated August 29, 2025
• Email Correspondences between this office and the Dutchess County Department of
Behavioral and Community Health (DCDBCH) indicating their technical approval of the
design plans.
• Email Correspondences between this office and the Dutchess County Department of Public
Works (DPW) indicating their technical approval of the design plans.
The completed Map, Plan and Report (MPR) and design plans were submitted to the Board on
December 20, 2024, and we understand that these materials have been reviewed and signed off by
the Town -appointed engineering consultant (B&L review memo attached). We also note that these
plans have previously been reviewed by and subsequently received technical approval from the
DCDBCH (email correspondences attached). The plans have also undergone a review at the
Dutchess County DPW, who granted verbal approval of the proposed plans in an email dated June
23, 2025 (email correspondences attached).
Based on prior discussions with the Board and the Board's legal counsel, we understand that the
enclosed information is required in order for the Town to proceed with their review of the petition,
including conducting SEQRA review, setting a public hearing, and determination of required
connection fees.
Regarding required fees, we note that Section 236-6.B.(2) of the Town of Wappinger Code defines
three scenarios for determining the capital buy -in fee for out -of -district parcels. The language
from the Town's code is provided below:
� 236-6.B.Q Calculation ofBuy-In Fee - Water districts.
a) Nonresidential parcels. The capital buy -in fee for out -of -district nonresidential parcels to
a water district shall be a sum equal to $10 per gallon of estimated daily design flow, as
determined by a competent engineer and confirmed by the Engineer to the Town.
b) Residential parcels.
1) For single family residential parcels with no more than four bedrooms per
residential unit, the average daily usage shall be deemed to be 320 gallons per
day, equaling a capital buy -in fee of $3,200. [Amended 4-9-2012 by L.L. No. 7-
2012]
2) For each additional bedroom, the presumptive daily usage will increase by 100
gallons per day, with an additional capital buy -in fee of $1, 000 per bedroom over
four bedrooms.
c) Multifamily residential units.
1) For studio apartments/units and one -bedroom apartments/units, the average
estimated daily usage shall be deemed to be 100 gallons per day, for a capital
buy -in fee of $1, 000;
2) For a two-bedroom apartment/unit, the average estimated daily usage shall be
deemed to be 200 gallons per day, for a capital buy -in fee of $2, 000;
3) For a three -or -more -bedroom apartment/unit, the capital buy -in fee shall be the
same as in Subsection B(2)(b) above.
Additionally, Section 236-6.C. further clarifies the following:
� 236-6. C. Additional capital buv-in Lee.
The buy -in fees for water or sewer have been based upon estimated average daily demand
determined by a competent engineer and confirmed by the Town's Engineer. If, during the next
three years after connection to the water or sewer system, it is determined that the actual
average daily demand on the water or sewer systems is greater than the amount estimated, the
property owner shall pay an additional buy -in fee calculated in accordance with the above. This
shall only apply to commercial property users.
Based on the Town Code's language, it is clear that the buy -in fee is intended to be calculated
based on water usage. The reference to estimated water usage and calculations based on bedroom
counts appear to anticipate proposed projects, or projects yet to be built, in which cases actual
water usage data may not be available. This logic appears to be confirmed by the language in 236-
6.C. above, which provides the Town the ability to increase the buy -in fee at a point in the future
once actual water usage data is available.
The measured flow from the existing PWS system is equal to approximately 7,875 gallons per day,
which would result in a buy in fee of $78,750.
PAGGI ENGINEERING Engineering Consultants Since 1989
The proposed extension work will cost the owner approximately $159,000, which is greater than
the price of work which would be required to simply connect the property to the existing district
water main (approximately $123,000). This is due to the increased size of water main piping for a
district expansion (increased from 4 -inch to 8 -inch diameter), as well as the inclusion of the
appurtenances and additional fire hydrant required for the district expansion. Therefore, this
petition requests that the Town Board consider the benefit being given to the United Wappinger
Water District, and therefore the Town, in their determination of appropriate buy -in fees. As a
final consideration, the Petitioner is also agreeable to extend the water main further along New
Hackensack Road in lieu of cash buy -in fee if the Town finds any benefit to that option.
We request that this matter be placed on the next available Town Board agenda to initiate the
SEQR review process and set a public hearing date. Due to the declining condition of the existing
water supply servicing the property, the DCDBCH is urging the Petitioner to construct the
proposed improvements and finalize the connection before the end of this calendar year.
Thank you for your consideration of this petition. Please do not hesitate to contact our office with
any questions or concerns relative to the above.
Sincerely,
Christian Ryan Paggi, P.E.

To the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
County of Dutchess, New York:
---------------------------------------------------------------------x
In the Matter of Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park, Inc. for the Extension of the
United Wappinger Water District to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road
Petition
The undersigned, being the owner of taxable real property situate in the water district
hereinafter described and proposed to be extended in the Town of Wappinger, New York (the
"Town"), aggregating at least one-half of the assessed valuation of all the taxable real property of
said proposed district, as shown upon the latest completed assessment roll of said town, and
including resident owners in said proposed district owning taxable real property aggregating at
least one-half of the assessed valuation of all the taxable real property of said proposed district
extension owned by resident owners, according to the latest completed assessment roll, does
hereby petition the board as follows:
1. Petitioner proposes, pursuant to Town Law Article 12, that the Town Board extend the
United Wappingers Water District to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road, also known as
Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park, as that property is described in the deed annexed hereto as
(Exhibit A).
2. Said territory is located wholly in the Town and is outside of any city or incorporated
village.
3. Attached hereto is a map showing the boundaries of the existing water district (Exhibit
B) and which includes the location of the water treatment plant together with a map showing the
boundaries of the proposed extension of the water district to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road
(Exhibit Q.
4. Attached hereto is a general plan of such proposed water district connection (Exhibit D)
5. The map and plan hereinabove referred have been prepared by Lawrence J. Paggi, P.E.,
a licensed engineer, and submitted for compliance with Article 12 of Town Law.
6. The extension of the District is desirable to Petitioner to provide water service to the
property at 91-95 New Hackensack Road for the following reasons: the property, which contains
a population of fifty (50) residential homes and one (1) deli, is currently served by a public water
supply comprised of three (3) wells, which are experiencing exceedances in the allowable
PFOA/PFOS concentrations, which threatens the health and safety of the residents. Importantly,
the proposed district extension and water main connection would alleviate these concerns and

Project No.: 2990.001.001
Phase No.: 1
Barton & Loguidice (B&L) has completed the review of Map, Plan & Report prepared by Lawrence J.
Paggi, PE, PC, for the extension of the United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) to serve the

quality and quantity.
Upon review, B&L has found that the Map, Plan & Report meet the minimum standards and
requirements put forth § 234-7 B. in Part II of the Town of Wappinger General Legislation. Justification
of these findings for each relevant regulatory body is presented in the section titled "Map, Plan &
Report Compliance".
Map, Plan, & Report Compliance:
The Town of Wappinger Code Part II General Legislation § 234-713 outlines that an Application for
Consent to extend a water supply and distribution is required to meet minimum requirements set forth
by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC), New York State Water Resources Commission (NYSWRC), Dutchess County
Department of Behavioral and Community Health (DCDBCH), the County of Dutchess agencies and
boards, and all other governmental units and agencies. This section serves to articulate the compliance
found during the investigation of the submission for the UWWD.
1. NYSDOH: New York State Department of Health utilizes the 2018 Recommended Standards for
Water Works. The documents submitted in reference to the extension of UWWD to serve the
Wappinger MHP meet the requirements put forth in Part 1 sections 1.1 through 1.4 and part 8
sections 8.1 through 8.12.

2. NYSDEC: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation standards regulate water
withdrawal as well as erosion and sediment control. Since this project is an extension of an
existing water supply, it is our understanding that CAMO, the operator of UWWWD, has
determined that the water main extension to serve the Wappinger MHP remains within the
amount authorized in the water supply permit or water withdrawal permit for the purpose of
supplying potable water. Additionally, the erosion and sediment control details provided by the
applicant's engineer meet the minimum requirements set forth in the New York State
Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control.
3. NYSWRC: Standards put forth by the New York State Water Resources Commission are not
applicable for this project since it is an extension of an existing water supply. It is our
understanding that CAMO, the operator of UWWD, has determined that the existing system
can accommodate the increased usage by connecting the Wappinger MHP to UWWD.
4. DCDBCH: The engineer's report and plan have already been reviewed and approved by the
Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health. This office has no
additional comments regarding the contents of the Map, Plan & Report and their compliance
with DCDBCH standards since the regulatory body has already determined the design and
report to be compliant.
5. Additional Dutchess County agencies and boards: This project is proposing a crossing
underneath a Dutchess County Highway. As a result, the plans include the road restoration
details which are compliant with the standards put forth by the Dutchess County Department of
Public Works (DCDPW). The means and methods for installing the section of watermain
underneath New Hackensack Rd, also known as Dutchess County Route —104, are still being
determined and the applicant's engineer indicates that coordination with DCDPW will continue
until the plan is finalized and approved.
6. Other Regulatory Bodies: There are no other regulatory bodies which require a determination
of minimum compliance regarding this project.
Recommendation:
Given the findings in the Map, Plan, & Report Compliance section, this office recommends that the
Town Board grant this application to proceed to public hearing. We will continue to work with the
Applicant's engineer as needed as this project progresses.

Subject: Revised Waterline Plan for Wappingers Falls MHP, 91-95 New Hackensack Road (Parcel ID #6158-02-700710)
Good afternoon Dan,
Please find attached a revised version of Sheet C201, "Municipal Water Connection Profiles", for the
proposed waterline connection from the Town of Wappinger municipal water main to the Wappingers
Falls Mobile Home Park on New Hackensack Road.
The plan incorporates changes resulting from discussions with the DC Department of Public Works and
CAMO (Mike Tremper), which involved the inclusion of two additional gate valves installed on either side
of the culvert crossing for ease of maintenance and repair. The plan also includes additional spot
elevations taken by our office within the past month to confirm that adequate cover is provided over the
main while also ensuring minimal impacts to the county road and other above ground features.
Please advise if this plan is acceptable to you. As always, please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss
this further or if you have any questions or concerns.
Thankyou,

And rew,
• The section at the berm shows fill that could potentially cause the guide rail to no longer meet criteria for
height. A note to reset rail as necessary does not adequately address this. The rail cannot locally be raised
to go up and over a berm in this short distance and we will not allow it to be reinstalled in a manner that
reduces the shoulder width. The berm must be fully outside of the deflection distance of the guide rail.
• The above is resolved by going underneath the culvert pipe. When this pipe gets replaced, the County
would be responsible for the cost of any temporary or permanent relocations to get water main of the way
of the work. Placing the main under the culvert now eliminates that future cost to the County and resolves
the issues with the proposed berm and its impact on guiderail and potential roadside drainage.
