But the city planning board on Thursday said it still didn't like the water amusement portion of the proposal.

Developer Chris Ricckermann came before the city planning board with revised plans for "Dutchess World," a park that Includes reviving the former Dutchess Ski Area, a rebuilt railway and a scaled down water amusement park. Ricckermann presented plans last year for a $5 million water park featuring a nine flume water slide The revised plans exclude three Alpine track slides estimated at 1500,000 each. The new plans would also move the water park down the mountain to leave room for skiing Ricckermann needs a zoning change to allow the park The mountain is zoned for winter recreation use only and he seeks a change to allow recreation there year round Edward O'Connor, a consultant to Ricckermann, said the developers decided to try the project again because they changed the park to reduce traffic and noise and because the city elected new officials in November. "There's a change in administration and maybe a change in thinking," O'Connor said. But the planners, who recommend zoning changes to the city council, said they still didn't like the water park project and would not recommend it Planning Chairman Joseph Chiarella said he liked the railway and skiing on the mountain, but had not changed his mind about the water park.

"Let the zoning be your guide," Chiarella said, adding that skiing and housing on the mountain were permitted with current zoning "1 11 take my chance with houses," said board member Harry Lynch After the meeting, Ricckermann said he could not make money on a skiing project alone He said he needed a rezoning to allow year round recreation to make a project on Mount Beacon worthwhile Connor said Rieckermann slill has several ways he can develop the land He said Ricckermann was contacted by a representative of the Unification Church, which was Interested in buying the property, along with a flea market company on Long Island He also said Rieckermann could build housing on the mountain O'Connor said the Shawnee Corp. In Shawnee, Pa a 140 million skiing firm, was interested in developing the ski area on Mount Beacon. He said skiing remains an option for part of the property. Because the planners criticized the project, Connor said It is unlikely that Rieckermann will go to the city council with the Dutchess World project He noted that even If the council rczoned the mountain, Rieckermann must return to the planning board to gain site plan approval. We could be tied up for years with site plan approval," Connor said The Dutchess World project proposed last year died when the planning board said it didn't like the plans and feared traffic, environmental and noise problems The rezoning issue never went before the city coun cil Westage developers fold guarantees on plan needed By Bonnie Hede Journal staff FISHKILL The Town of Fishkill Planning Board said it wants guarantees from proposed Westage Business Center developers on water, sewage, traffic and erosion before it will consider approving the project The board told the developers Thursday night how to revise their final environmental impact statement for the planned 96 acre project at the intersection of Route 9 and Interstate 84 in the town The statement, a routine process prior to site plan approval of all major projects, shows the effects the center will have on its environs The town's planning consultant, David Stolman, said that due to the amount of additional traffic Westage would generate, the developers would have to provide the town guarantees that either they or the state Department of Transportation would provide necessary road improve ments Those improvements include traffic lights and widened roadways.

The town will also ask for guarantees that the board's approval is required before each stage of building begins Stolman said the board wants this because Westage may need more water and sewage capacity than they have contracted for with the Village of Fishkill The village's mayor had raised concerns the developers could drill under their property, possibly af fecting the village water supply With the right of approval, the town could ensure lhat precautions arc taken Stolman said the developers should give proof lhat the development will not harm soil erosion patterns in the area A 10 acre lake is planned on the sue to catch any runoff The soil dug from the lake would be used to elevate the buildings above the flood level The development would include 760,000 feet of office space, a 250 room Sheraton Hotel a restaurant, a bank branch, and about 88,000 square feet of office space Stolman said the environmental study answered most questions the planning board and other agencies had asked William Ritcheskc, planning board chairman, said he thought the study was well organized Westage developers will meet with Stolman during the next two weeks to revise the sludy They will present their revisions to the board at its next meeting on Feb 27 The board asked for more informa tion on items including To clarify Ihe hotel proposal The plan calls for a six slory building which would not be allowed under the zoning laws Socio economic impacts of the de velopment An investigation into possibilities for a less extensive use of the land.
