Proposed Hilltop Village at Wappinger Active Adult Community

A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) has been completed and accepted by the Town of Wappinger Planning Board acting as Lead Agency for the Proposed Hilltop Village at Wappinger Active Adult Community (Proposed Action). The Applicant is proposing to develop a 149.35± acre parcel located on All Angels Hill Road (CR 94) in the Town of Wappinger, New York. The Proposed Action is located approximately 1Ž4 of a mile south of Kent Road and 1.2 miles north of Old Hopewell Road. The parcel is identified on the Town of Wappinger Tax Map as 6257-02-630700 and is currently zoned 1-Family Residence (R-40) and Conservation Office Park (COP).

The Proposed Action consists of 225 age-restricted units (132 detached and 93 attached) for persons 55-years and older. Twenty-three (23) of the dwelling units, or ten (10) percent, will be offered as affordable housing. Seventeen (17) of the 23 Affordable Housing Units will be interior townhome units. The remaining six (6) Affordable Housing Units will be end unit townhomes or single family ranch homes. The Proposed Action also includes a club house, recreational amenities, preservation of natural areas as open space, and the reconstruction of an existing private road. The Applicant has petitioned the Town Board to change the zoning designation of the property to Multifamily Residence (RMF-3) in order to permit the Proposed Action. The requested amendment is consistent with the uses of neighboring parcels and is consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the Town of Wappinger's Comprehensive Plan.

A Public Hearing for the DEIS was convened by the Planning Board on April 16, 2012 and was adjourned until May 7, 2012, at which time comments relative to the project will continue to be heard by the Planning Board. Written comments will be received by the Planning Board until May 21, 2012.
