The June 22 Town of Wappingers Town Board meeting agenda included a Public Hearing on the new Zoning Map -- in which one resident lectured the board on virtues and other residents supported the proposed changes ... and at resolution time, the Board voted to adopt the new Zoning Map which identifies new Hamlet Mixed Use Zones as well as new R-80 zones, aligning with the realities of what the land - with storm water regulations, wetland protections, and easements enables.
