Paoloni Page 2 LOCAL LAW NO. 8 OF THE YEAR 2026 a 0— A Local Law Declaring That the Instrument Filed with the New York Secretary of State as Q Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger Is Void Ab Initio for Failure to Comply o with the Requirements of the Municipal Home Rule Law BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows: Section 1: Title This Local Law shall be known and cited as "A Local Law Declaring Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger Void Ab Initio." Section 2: Legislative Findings and Recitations The Town Board hereby finds and declares as follows: A. On December 9, 2019, the Town Board unanimously adopted Resolution No. RES -2019- 213, an introductory resolution titled "Resolution Introducing Local Law No. 1 of 2020 Which Would Amend Chapter 240, Zoning, Of The Town Code With Respect To The Addition Of `Liquid Propane Storage Facilities' As A New Special Permit Use In The Highway Business And Airport Industry Zoning Districts." That resolution did not adopt any local law. Its operative effect was limited to: (i) introducing the proposed Local Law for consideration; (ii) scheduling a public hearing thereon for 7:00 PM on January 13, 2020; (iii) directing the Town Clerk to publish notice of the public hearing in the Southern Dutchess News and the Poughkeepsie Journal; and (iv) directing distribution of copies to the Town Planning Board and the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development for their advisory review. Resolution No. RES -2019-213 was an introductory resolution only and conferred no authority to adopt a local law. B. On January 13, 2020, the Town Board convened a Regular Meeting at Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Wappingers Falls, New York, at 7:00 PM. A public hearing on the Proposed Local Law had been duly noticed. The public hearing was opened at that meeting. The public hearing was not completed and was not closed; it was adj ourned pending further proceedings before the Town of Wappinger Planning Board in connection with the Downey Energy Liquid Propane Facility project. No completed public hearing was held before the Town Board as required by Municipal Home Rule Law § 20(5). C. At the same January 13, 2020 Regular Meeting, the resolution to adopt the Proposed Local Law was tabled. The official record of the Town of Wappinger reflects the following result for Resolution No. RES -2020-37: RESULT: TABLED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: William H. Beale, Councilman SECONDER: Al Casella, Councilman a AYES: Richard Thurston, William H. Beale, Christopher Phillips, Al O Casella a N ABSENT: Angela Bettina N 4- 0 Resolution No. RES -2020-37 was tabled by a unanimous vote of the members present. It was not passed. No final vote on passage of the Proposed Local Law was ever taken by the Town Board as required by Municipal Home Rule Law § 20(1). No determination was made under the State Environmental Quality Review Act was made at our prior to the meeting on the action. D. Despite the foregoing, an instrument denominated "Local Law No. 1 of 2020" was thereafter submitted to and filed with the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations, State Records and Uniform Commercial Code, and was stamped as received on or about February 3, 2020. The instrument as filed was accompanied by a cover document denominated Resolution No. RES -2020-37, which incorrectly recited a result of "ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]" and listed the following ayes: Richard Thurston, William H. Beale, Christopher Phillips, Al Casella, with Angela Bettina listed as absent. That recitation is contrary to the official record in every material respect: the resolution was tabled, not adopted. The instrument filed with the Secretary of State therefore contains incorrect recitations of the vote and result and does not constitute a valid record of enactment. E. Municipal Home Rule Law § 20(5) provides that no local law shall be passed by the legislative body of a town until a public hearing thereon has been had before such body. That mandatory condition precedent was not satisfied. The public hearing before the Town Board on January 13, 2020 was opened but was adjourned without being closed or completed. No completed public hearing was ever held before the Town Board. F. Municipal Home Rule Law § 20(1) requires that on the final passage of a local law the question shall be taken by ayes and noes, and the names of the members present and their votes shall be entered in the record, journal, or minutes of proceedings of the legislative body. No vote on final passage of the Proposed Local Law was ever taken. Resolution No. RES -2020-37, the only resolution presented for that purpose, was tabled unanimously. G. The filing with the Secretary of State of a purported local law that was never enacted in compliance with the mandatory requirements of Municipal Home Rule Law § 20 does not create a valid, binding, or effective local law. A purported enactment that lacks both the statutorily required completed public hearing and the required vote on final passage is void ab initio it has no legal force or effect from inception and confers no rights upon any person or entity. Towns derive their legislative authority solely by grant and may not act except in strict conformance with applicable procedure; action taken in the absence of such compliance is ultra vires and a nullity. a 0 H. Because the instrument filed as Local Law No. 1 of 2020 was never enacted and has no N legal existence, no repeal is necessary or appropriate, as one cannot repeal a nullity. The N purpose of this Local Law is to formally memorialize that legal status on the public record ° and to direct corrective notice to the Secretary of State. Section 3: Declaration The instrument filed with the New York Secretary of State on or about February 3, 2020 as Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger is hereby declared to be void ab initio and of no legal force or effect from the date of such filing. The instrument purported to amend Chapter 240, Zoning, of the Code of the Town of Wappinger. It did not do so. Chapter 240, Zoning, of the Code of the Town of Wappinger was not amended by that instrument and remains in the form in effect immediately prior to January 13, 2020, as if the Proposed Local Law had never been introduced. Section 4: Direction to Town Clerk The Town Clerk is hereby directed to: (a). Enter this Local Law in the minutes and Local Law book of the Town of Wappinger; (b).File this Local Law with the Secretary of State of the State of New York pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law § 27; (c). Transmit written notice to the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations, State Records and Uniform Commercial Code, advising that the instrument filed as Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger was erroneously filed, was never duly enacted, and has been declared void ab initio by this Local Law; and (d). Take such additional steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the public records of the Town and the State to reflect the legal nullity of the prior filing. Section 5: Ratification, Readontion and Confirmation Except as specifically addressed herein, the Code of the Town of Wappinger as previously adopted and amended shall remain in full force and effect and is otherwise ratified, readopted and confirmed. Section 6: Separability a 0 The provisions of this Local Law are separable and if any provision, clause, sentence, a subsection, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any CD person or circumstance, such illegality, invalidity, or unconstitutionality, or inapplicability, shall o not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, subsections, words or parts of this Local Law or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger that this Local Law would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional provision, clause, sentence, 0 subsection, word or part had not been included therein, and if such person or circumstance to which a> the Local Law or part thereof is held inapplicable had been specifically exempt therefrom. Section 7: Effective Date This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by the Municipal Home Rule Law.

I OF 2020 WAS ERRONEOUS a O WHEREAS, the Town Board has determined, for the reasons set forth in Local Law No. 8 c of 2026, that the instrument filed with the New York Secretary of State on or about February 3, N 2020 as Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger was never duly enacted, was accompanied by a falsified vote record, and is void ab initio; and WHEREAS, the official record of the Town of Wappinger reflects that Resolution No. RES -2020-37, the resolution that would have adopted the Proposed Local Law, was TABLED UNANIMOUSLY at the January 13, 2020 Regular Meeting of the Town Board, and was never brought back for a vote; and WHEREAS, the Town Board finds that corrective notice to the Department of State is warranted to prevent any potential reliance upon on or application of the void instrument; now therefore BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is authorized and directed to transmit to the New York Department of State a written notice, in such form as the Town Attorney may approve, advising that the filing denominated Local Law No. 1 of 2020 of the Town of Wappinger was erroneously submitted, was accompanied by a falsified vote record, and that the Town Board has, by Local Law No. 7 of 2026, declared said instrument void ab initio and of no legal force or effect.

Cavaccini and members of the Board: This letter is formal request for the subject property to be added to the United Wappinger Sewer District. The owner of the property is looking to expand the existing uses and is seeking sewer service for an anticipated flow between 10,000 and 15,000 gallons per day. Connection of the property to existing Town of Wappinger sewer infrastructure would require installation of a sewage pump station and a 3 inch diameter forcemain along Myers Corners Road to the existing Town pump station located near the westerly intersection of Old Myers Corners Road and Myers Corners Road. The owner is willing to size the pump station to accommodate potential future connection of surrounding properties and potential future flows but would be looking to the Town to assist with the cost differential between the size required for the property and the size required for the future flows. The Town has requested an 8 inch forcemain be installed to accommodate future flows. The owner is willing to install a larger forcemain but is looking to the Town to assist with the cost differential between the size required for the property and the size required for the future flows. The larger forcemain would also need to be reviewed and approved by the Dutchess County Department of Health.

Spencer, Planning Services Manager DATE: October 31, 2025 RE: Greenway Consistency - R -5A: One -Family Residence (5 Acre) Zoning Map Amendment Per Zoning Article VIII. Amendments, §240-112(A)(3) Greenway Connections, this memo reviews and considers the statement of land -use policies, principles, and guidelines in Dutchess County Compact's Greenway Connections. Overall, this residential minimum lot size increase is consistent with all five (5) Greenway Compact goals, most importantly because it aids natural and cultural resource protection, potential public access, trails, and potential agricultural economic development. Ultimately, this zoning density reduction can help avoid sprawl and reinforce a coherent pattern of open space in relation to priority growth areas and primary centers. Considering the 'Purposes' of town zoning, this rezoning amendment guides development in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan as it promotes safety from flood and other dangers, assists patterns that can prevent pollution of watercourses and wetlands, helps to safeguard the water table, and encourages sound natural resource management. The amendment will also aid the preservation of the natural beauty of the physiography of the Town, protect against obtrusive land use, and ensure appropriate development with regard to such elements. Extending into the Greenway Guide and notions for Centers and Greenspaces, this action will help to reduce sprawl and establish an open space core in central sections of Town. Lowering the base zoning density in specific areas will assist with calibrating the Town's land use laws. The August 2025 zoning amendments provides for more predictable development. Now, this targeted reduction in permitted residential density will align with the Greenway Benefit of environmental enhancement by advancing environmental protection and generally, though not directly, facilitating contiguous open space "Greenways [that] create a conscious intermingling of the natural and human landscape...", as contemplated in Greenway Connections Sourcebook, page 14. The 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update sets an objective to provide water and sewer infrastructure planning. This downzoning aligns with the notion of planning for public infrastructure, as described in Sourcebook page 41, 'Coordinating Development with Central Utilities'. By scaling -back density, The Town of Wappinger will be protected from overdevelopment at the same time planning occurs to establish policies that encourage development in the most appropriate areas. That planning process will involve identifying where and how to provide cost-effective growth, while also upgrading the development framework so there is protection of natural features than would otherwise be taken for granted and impacted without adequate management planning. The locations of this rezoning are not in a Primary Center identified in the Sourcebook's 'Settlement 4 Computer Drive West • Albany, New York 12205 • (518) 458-7112 • Fax (518) 458-1879 www.labergegroup.com TOWN OF WAPPIIIN¢ER I GREENWAY CONSISTENCY R -5A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Patterns' section (page 24). Moreover, while the zone change may not technically be in a rural location, the places targeted are overlain by valued open space and natural resources. Based on this rationale, it is recommended that the Town Board find that the planned residential minimum lot size increase is consistent with the land use policies, principles, and guidelines contained in Greenway Connections to the extent practical and appropriate. The Town is embarking on planning to more fully identify priority growth areas and is using an approach to analyze, plan, and implement central water and wastewater in existing centers and prioritized locations. The zone change will enable the layout of a development pattern that fits with and will enhance Wappinger's natural landscape and "greenway" simultaneous with the effort to protect the municipality from overdevelopment. 21Pa&,c Town of Wappinger 20 Middlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 ADOPTED RESOLUTION 2026-106 Meeting: 04/13/26 07:00 PM Department: Town Clerk Category: Local Law Intro Prepared By: Joseph P.

LOCAL LAW No. _ OF THE YEAR 2026 BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows: Section 1. Title This Local Law shall be known and cited as "A Local Law Amending Chapter 230-46, 47, and 48 Of The Town Code Limiting Parking On Myers Corners Road" Section 2. Legislative Intent At the request of the Wappingers Central School District and Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, the Town Board believes that it is reasonable and appropriate to amend Chapter 230-46, 230-47, 230-48 of the Town Code to prohibit parking, stopping, and stand- ing on Myers Corners Road from its westernmost intersection of Old Myers Corners Road and Myers Corners Road to where it meets US Route 9. This is due to the unsafe situations that have presented themselves when motorists are parked along side the roadway limiting traffic flows, pedestrian access, and potentially causing accidents. Preventing parking, stopping, and standing on Myers Corners Road will limit the congestion of the roadway and improve traffic flow. This local law is determined to be an exercise of the police powers of the Town to protect the public health, safety and wel- fare of its residents. Section 3. Amendments to Chapter 230-46, 47, 48.
