Prepared by: / Prepared On: 6/01/2026 Dut pat MEMORANDUM TO: Sue Serino, County Executive FROM: Gregg Pulver, Deputy County Executive DATE: RE: June 1, 2026 RESOLUTION REQUEST - MODIFYING THE LOCATION OF ACCESS ALONG ST. ANDREWS ROAD (COUNTY ROUTE 40A) TO FACILITATE A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE TOWN OF HYDE PARK, DUTCHESS COUNTY The Legislature is seeking to modify access locations along St. Andrews Road (County Route 40A,) a limited access highway created via Resolution No. 316 of 1970. Within Resolution No. 316, three distinct access locations were identified to provide vehicular access to the remainder of the property owned by the party that donated the land for the new county highway. By Resolution No. 317 of 1970, the newly created St. Andrews Road was designated a limited access highway, pursuant to Article 6, Section 117b of the NYS Highway Law. This restricted the creation of future access locations to those approved by the Legis, except for the three locations originally allowed under Resolution No. 316 of 1970. By adopting Resolution No. 22 of 1995, the Dutchess County Legislature modified the number of access locations by adding a fourth access location in addition to the three locations approved in 1970 via Resolution No. 316. The Legisiature further modified the number of access locations on St. Andrews Road in 2023 by adoption of Resolution No. 2023166, which authorized a fifth access location for the purpose of facilitating a cellular communications tower to be built on the south side of St. Andrews Road. At the request of T. Rex Capital, LLC, a land developer with a development plan pending review and approval with the Town of Hyde Park, the Legislature is now seeking to further modify the number of access points along St. Andrews Road by adding two new access location described as: Proposed Access Location #6 - Approximately 488' from the center of NYS Route 9, on the south side of St. Andrews Road. Proposed Access Location #7 - Approximately 1,068' from the center of NYS Route 9, on the south side of St. Andrews Road. The Dutchess County Department of Public Works has worked with the developer to establish proposed access locations #6 and #7 and is satisfied that the access location will be safe and in conformance with the Department's standards for commercial access to County highways. 1 This action has been determined to be a SEQRA Type II project, pursuant to 6NYCRR617.5(c) (26.) The Town of Hyde Park Planning Board is the SEQRA Lead Agency for the proposed development along St. Andrews Road.

Passero Associates 6 Front Street Newburgh, NY 12550 RE: Access Points for Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park, St. Andrews Road (CR 40A) Dear Mr. LaPorta: This office has reviewed your May 15, 2025, submittal for three proposed access points on St. Andrews Road (CR 40A). For curb cut 3, assuming confirmation that the sight line looking west is achievable with the proposed clearing, we take no issue with the proposed access location. Upon receipt of this information, final approval will be granted. Please be aware that a modification to the deed may be necessary to restrict use of the cleared area to ensure the sight line remains unobstructed. We are satisfied with your responses to comments on curb cuts 1 and 2, except for unanswered concerns regarding the vendor that operates at proposed curb cut 1. However, unlike curb cut 3, curb cuts 1 and 2 are not access points granted in the original conveyance of the land to the County for purposes of constructing CR 40A. Accordingly, these access points require legislative approval due to CR 40A being a limited access highway. I'd recommend working with the county legislator for that area for the potential introduction of legislation to approve these access points. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. I can be reached via email at [email protected], or by phone at 845-486-2939.

Relative to actions being taken along St. Andrews Road, the project proposed three curb cut locations to service three separate developments. Curb Cut 1 Curb Cut 1 is located opposite 5 St. Andrews Road and is partially constructed. This curb cut will service the project's proposed mixed-commercial outparcel consisting of 50,000 SF of commercial space and 25,000 SF of office space. Currently, there is an eastbound left turn lane servicing 5 St. Andrews Road while the opposite side is hatched. Passero proposes installing a westbound left turn lane for traffic entering the parcel via restriping the hatched area. The lane is proposed to consist of +250 feet of storage with a +75-foot taper. Sight distance measurements were conducted at this curb cut. The recommended sight distance is 665 feet for a design speed of 60 mph based on a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Sight distance is unlimited to the US-9 intersection (to the left) and is +989 feet to the right. Curb Cut 2 Curb Cut 2 is located +1,068 feet from US-9. Originally, this access was to service a wastewater treatment plant in an earlier site plan proposal. This use has since been updated to include a 27-unit memory care facility. The total new peak hour trips for the use are three (3) during the AM peak hour and seven (7) in the PM peak hour using the latest ITE Trip Generation Manual (1 1th Edition). Given the resulting peak hour trips, no additional improvements are recommended. Sight distance measurements were conducted at this curb cut. The recommended sight distance is 665 feet for a design speed of 60 mph based on a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Sight distance was measured at +986 feet to the left and +741 feet to the right. Curb Cut 3 is located +1,908 feet from US-9. This curb cut is planned to service the remaining portion of the Bellefield Master Plan. Proposed uses include residential, commercial, office, and services. Based on the anticipated new trips that will use this access point, Passero proposes constructing a westbound left turn lane. The lane is proposed to consist of +340 feet of storage with a +75-foot taper. Sight distance measurements were conducted at this curb cut. The recommended sight distance is 665 feet for a design speed of 60 mph based on a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Sight distance was measured at +412 feet to the left and +1,023 feet to the right. Given the restricted sight distance to the left, Passero proposes Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park Traffic Memo Hyde Park, NY May 19, 2025 installing intersection warning signage (W2-2) facing eastbound traffic. This should be installed 570 feet in advance of the curb cut. The conceptual curb cut designs, and proposed improvements are shown in the attached Highway Entrance Plans prepared by Passero.
