BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT LAROUE ROSE SHATZKIN TOWN CLERK Adopted on July 21, 2026 at a Regular Meeting Held at the Town Hall Page 8 RESOLUTION NUMBER X-26 (RE: A LOCAL LAW EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON BATTERY STORAGE IN THE TOWN OF CORTLANT) RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Cortlandt does hereby adopt Local Law No. 1 of 2026. BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT LAROUE ROSE SHATZKIN TOWN CLERK Adopted on July 21, 2026 At a Regular Meeting Held at Town Hall Page 9 Local Law No. 7 of 2025 (A Local Law Extending a Moratorium for New Battery Energy Storage Systems) Section 1. Legislative Intent The Town has received significant interest from Battery Energy Storage developers about potentially installing Battery Energy Storage infrastructure in Cortlandt. Currently, the Town Code is devoid of provisions directly related to Battery Energy Storage. The Town originally enacted a moratorium pursuant to Local Law Number 2-2024. Thereafter, the Town convened a committee to work on a Local Law. The Town’s committee made great progress on a Local Law related to Battery Energy Storage Systems, and the Town Board adopted Local Law Number 10-2024 and Local Law Number 2-2025 extending the Moratorium to allow the progress to continue. Since this extension, the Uniform Code and Energy Code have been updated. Other communities in Westchester have either passed moratoria or are considering passing moratoria. The Town Board believes it to be prudent to allow the State to issue additional guidance. Section 2. Moratorium No application shall be considered, nor approvals granted, by the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, or the Code Enforcement officials of the Town with respect to any applications for new Battery Energy Storage Systems. Section 3. Duration The moratorium herein shall be extended through July 31, 2026 unless terminated earlier. Section 4. Hardship The Town Board retains unto itself the right to consider variances to this Local Law and to make all determinations with respect to its applicability and interpret and determine the same. Any issues with respect to the interpretation of and variances from this Law shall be determined by the Town Board upon written request of a property owner. This supersedes § 267 of the New York State Town Law as to variance process. Section 5. Severability If any section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, or phrase of this law shall be adjudged invalid or held unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, any judgment made thereby shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part or provision so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional. Section 6. Effective Date This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.

Other communities in Westchester have either passed moratoria or are considering passing moratoria. The Town Board believes it to be prudent to allow the State to issue additional guidance. The Town Board notes that the State has taken significant interest in battery energy storage systems as well as data centers, evidenced by the State Legislature recently passing a data center moratorium. Section 2. Moratorium No application shall be considered, nor approvals granted, by the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, or the Code Enforcement officials of the Town with respect to any applications for new commercial Battery Energy Storage Systems. Section 3. Duration The moratorium herein shall be extended through December 31, 2026 unless terminated earlier. Section 4. Hardship The Town Board retains unto itself the right to consider variances to this Local Law and to make all determinations with respect to its applicability and interpret and determine the same.

The definition for “Lot Width” shall be amended to read as follows: LOT WIDTH The distance between the side lot lines as measured across the required front yard minimum setback line. S. The definition for “Yard, Front” shall be amended to read as follows: The yard lying between the front lot line and the principal building. See “lot line, 5 Page 26 front.” Each lot shall only have one front yard, except for the purpose of determining setbacks for a principal structure on a corner lot (see §307-18(G)). Section 10: Amendments to Section 307-8(C) of the Town Code Section 307-8. Conformance required has several subsections. The text of Section 307-8(C) of the Town Code has led to debate an application for a determination to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The language of Section 307-8(C) shall be amended and replaced with the following language: Any lot with an area less than that prescribed for a lot in the district in which such lot is situated, when the owner thereof owned adjoining land on or after the effective date of this chapter or any subsequent amendment which increases the required lot area for such parcel, shall be deemed to have merged with said adjoining land to form a single parcel. If all adjoining lots under common ownership are merged but still do not meet the minimum lot area requirements, the lots are still considered merged into a single parcel; in such cases, the parcel’s lot area will be considered in conformance and will not require relief from the ZBA for lot area. However, all other dimensional requirements must either be met or relief from those requirements must be sought from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Section 11: Amendments to Section 307-17: Table of Dimensional Regulations The text of Section 307-17 shall be amended to read as follows: Regulations regarding minimum lot area, minimum lot width, yards, maximum height, and maximum lot coverage are set forth on the Table of Dimensional Regulations. Additional dimensional regulations are contained in § 307-18 and in Article VII. Section 12: Amendments to Section 307-18(G) The existing text in Section 307-18(G) is about “Additional density and design standards for land to be subdivided”. This language is more appropriate for the Town’s subdivision chapter (Chapter 265 of the Town Code). Because of this, the current language in Section 307-18(G) shall be deleted and moved to create a new Section 265-19(M). In addition, the following shall be added as Section 307-18(G), in place of the text being moved to Section 265: §307-18(G): Corner Lots. (1) On a corner lot, all yards fronting a street or highway are considered front yards for the purpose of determining setbacks for the principal structure. 6 Page 27 (2) Only one yard, as determined by the Director of Code Enforcement or designee, will be considered the front yard for the purpose of determining allowable locations for accessory structures. (3) The minimum setback for accessory structures in the determined side yard with frontage on a street or highway shall be the lesser of double those of the underlying zoning district or the required front yard. Section 13: Creation of new Section 307-18(H) and deletion of Section 307-18(D)(2) a) Addition of new Section: The following shall be added as a new Section within Section 307-18 Supplementary Dimensional Regulations: §307-18(H) Accessory structures and impervious surfaces within setbacks. Non-structural freestanding walls, retaining walls, patios, and impervious surfaces may be constructed within setbacks pending review and approval the Director of the Department of Technical Services (DOTS) or designee to verify compliance with applicable building codes as well as for drainage adequacy. b) Deletion: The text of Section 307-18(D)(2) shall be deleted and shall not be replaced. The following text shall be deleted and replaced with the word “Reserved”. Text to be deleted: Any proposed retaining wall with an exposed face greater than four feet in height and any proposed impervious surfaces within 20 feet of a lot line must be approved by the Town Engineer or his designated representative for drainage adequacy. Section 14: Creation of a new Section 307-18(I): Flag Lots The following shall be added as a new Section to the Town’s Zoning Chapter: §307-18(I): Flag lots. (1) Flag lots may only be created if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that the parcel has an environmental or topographical hardship which prevents a non-flag-configured division of the property. Furthermore, it must be shown to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that the proposed flag lot will not, for reason of flooding, inadequate drainage, adverse soil or rock formation, unfavorable topography, or for any other reason, be harmful to the health, safety or welfare of the property owner, adjacent landowners, or the community. (2) No more than one flag lot may be created through the division of a single parcel. (3) Each flag lot shall provide at least 50 feet of frontage along the street, and the width of the strip of land ("flagpole") connecting the buildable portion of the 7 Page 28 flag lot with the street shall be at least 50 feet along its entire length. (4) The area of the access strip (the "flagpole") shall not be included in calculating minimum lot area. (5) The area of the main buildable portion of the lot, excluding the access strip, shall conform to all other bulk regulations in the underlying zoning district. Section 15: Creation of a new Section 307-96.2(C)(17): Temporary Encroachments. The following shall be added as a new Section to the Town’s Zoning Chapter: Section 307-96.2(C)(17): Temporary Encroachments. Temporary encroachments into a non-disturbance area of up to 20% of the depth of the non- disturbance area are permitted during construction so long as the disturbed area is restored to a condition acceptable to the Planning Board. Section 16: Amendments to Section 307-42(B) Section 307-42: General Conditions and Standards pertains to special permits. The text of Section 307-42(B) shall be amended to read as follows: In addition to the general standards for special permits set forth above and additional standards set forth elsewhere in this chapter for specific uses, the approving board may, as a condition of approval of such use, establish any other conditions and requirements as it may deem necessary or appropriate to promote the public health, safety and welfare, including but not limited to hours and days of operation, additional on-site parking, and arrangements for security and supervision. Section 17: Amendments to Section 307-45 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Section 307-45 of the Town Code contains provisions pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Units. Section 307-45(C)(5) has dimensional requirements. The amended text of Section 307-45(C)(5) is in bold below: 5. Dimensional Requirements: a. The Accessory Dwelling Unit shall not exceed 800 square feet of gross floor area or 40% of the gross floor area of the single-family dwelling, whichever is less, except that an Attached ADU proposed wholly within the basement of an existing single-family dwelling may encompass the footprint of the structure even if it exceeds 800 square feet provided it shall not exceed 40% of the gross floor area of the single-family dwelling. b. Maximum number of bedrooms in an accessory dwelling unit is two bedrooms. 8 Page 29 c. For Detached ADUs, minimum yard setbacks apply except where an existing accessory building encroaches into the minimum side and/or rear yard setbacks by no more than 10%, such encroachment can be waived by the Planning Board as a de minimis encroachment during the special permit review process to permit a Detached ADU, and the applicant would not need to obtain a variance from the ZBA for the encroachment. To be eligible for this exception, the existing accessory building shall have a certificate of occupancy/compliance issuance date at least five (5) years prior to when application is made for the Detached ADU. d. No Detached ADU shall be located in a required front yard or corner lot side yard that faces the public street. e. The maximum height of the structure containing a Detached ADU shall not exceed the height of the structure containing the principal residence on the lot. Section 18: Amendments to Section 307-48: Business and professional offices and two-family dwellings in transitional locations. There have been questions that have recently arisen about whether Section 307-48 applies to medical uses. After reviewing the existing section, the language of Section 307-48 should be updated including the title of the section. The language shall be updated as follows: Section 307-48. Business, medical, and professional offices and two-family dwellings in transitional locations. A. Purpose. Recognizing that the potential for conflict between incompatible land uses is greatest at the boundary between residential and nonresidential districts, it is the purpose and intent of this section to provide for and encourage low-intensity office uses and two-family dwellings in locations where they can contribute to an orderly transition between commercial uses and residential uses. To ensure any medical office use in transitional locations remains a low-intensity use, additional requirements regarding maximum gross square footage and number of parking spaces are included, and shall not be varied by the Zoning Board of Appeals. B. Standards and conditions. (1) Uses. Business, medical, and professional offices and two-family dwellings located entirely within a building, including accessory uses thereto, are permitted. Retail sales of goods or services and storage of products are prohibited. Signs shall be permitted as specified in Chapter 245, Signs, of the Town of Cortlandt Code. (2) Location. Business, medical, and professional office uses and two-family dwellings as regulated by this section may be permitted only in transitional locations as defined by this chapter. 9 Page 30 (3) Dimensional requirements. Minimum lot area, width and yard dimensions and maximum lot coverage and building height shall be as follows: (a) For business, medical, and professional offices: as specified for a single-family dwelling in the district in which the proposed office use is located. 1. In addition, the gross square footage permitted for a medical office use shall not exceed 2,000 square feet. (b) For two-family dwellings: as specified for a two-family dwelling in the RG District. (4) Parking. A parking plan showing parking areas, landscaping and adjacent uses shall be submitted as part of the application for a special permit. Off- street parking shall be provided as required by this chapter except that parking for a medical office shall not exceed ten (10) total spaces. Parking areas shall not be located in front yards, unless the permit-granting authority finds that the parking requirement cannot be satisfied by locating the required parking spaces in side and rear yards. In such cases, no more than 50% of the required parking spaces may be located in front yards. (5) Screening. Parking areas shall be screened along all lot lines adjacent to other lots in residential districts by fencing and planted materials in a manner such that the visual impacts of such areas upon adjacent properties are minimized. (6) Residential appearance. In cases where alterations are to be made to the building facade, facade renderings showing the proposed alterations are to be submitted as a part of the application for a special permit. Existing and proposed buildings shall maintain a residential appearance to the extent feasible in the judgment of the permit-granting authority. In making this judgment, the permit-granting authority shall consider the following: (a) Front, side or rear building elevation visible from a street, including the size and arrangement of doors, windows, porticos, garages, chimneys or other openings or breaks. (b) Other significant design features, such as but not limited to materials, color, roof shape, exposed mechanical equipment, service and storage enclosures, signs, landscaping, retaining walls, dividing walls, fences and lighting posts. 10 Page 31 Section 19: Amendments to Article XI of Chapter 307 of the Town Code a) The title, Article XI: Additional Special Permit Standards and Conditions for Specific Uses, shall be renamed as follows: ARTICLE XI: SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS b) Addition of Section 307-44.1. Applicability. The following shall be added to the Town Code: Section 307-44.1. Applicability. The uses listed below shall be subject to such additions, exceptions, and/or modifications as provided herein by the following supplemental regulations. These supplemental regulations shall apply in all cases, whether the use is permitted as-of- right or requires a special permit. c) Deletions The following provisions shall be eliminated from the Code: i. Section 307-61: Junkyard: Remove Section 307-61(A)(9) Text to be removed: Permit duration and renewal.

An application for renewal of the special permit shall be made to the Code Enforcement Department on a form provided by that department and with a fee in an amount set forth in a fee schedule adopted by the Town Board. The Code Enforcement Department shall reissue the permit if inspection of the premises finds it to be in compliance with all applicable codes, the requirements of this section and the provisions of the original approval. Should the Code Enforcement Department find that the premises are not in compliance with all applicable codes, they shall initiate appropriate enforcement procedures. iii. Section 307-65.3: Private nature preserves open to public: Remove Section 307-65.3- (B)(8) Text to be removed: Permits hereunder shall be issued for terms of five years and may be renewed by the Planning Board.

To: James Creighton <jimcinny@gmail.com> July 2, 2026 Mr. James Creighton, Deputy Supervisor Town of Cortlandt 1 Heady Street Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567 Dear Jim: Thank you to you and your team for attending the Evergreen Knolls Homeowners Association meeting on June 22, 2026. We appreciate your taking the time to meet with us and providing us with all that the Town of Cortlandt is doing. As a follow up to an issue raised during that meeting, streets signs are being requested for two intersections within our community. Specifically, at the corner of Varian Road and Alpine Drive there is currently no signage. We think a YIELD sign would help the situation, probably on Varian, coming out from the dead end. This is also the case at the intersection of Knollwood Road and Spring Lane, and a YIELD sign on Spring will provide some safety. We want everyone to be cautious when driving and we believe adding a sign to these corners would potentially help prevent the possibility of an accident, or at minimum slow traffic to a reasonable speed. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, Nicole Morales, President Evergreen Knolls Homeowners Association Page 66 From: frcecm@aol.com <frcecm@aol.com> Sent: Thursday, 09 July 2026 16:43:10 To: Michael Cunningham <mcunningham@townofcortlandtny.gov> Subject: letter of support - Richard Becker (Cortlandt Town Supervisor) CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT LAROUE ROSE SHATZKIN, TOWN CLERK Adopted July 21, 2026 At a Regular Meeting Held at Town Hall Page 71 New York Association of Towns Bill of Rights Whereas, town government provides services essential to the vitality and success of New York State, like maintaining and repairing roads; protecting neighborhoods and businesses; guiding and supporting growth and economic development and acting as the first line of defense, communication and safety to residents every day of the calendar year. Whereas, towns in New York State are phenomenally diverse, ranging in population, geography, demographics and other factors, and decisions are best made at the local level, by the government that best understands their town’s attributes, challenges and character. Whereas, 933 total towns in New York State are claimed as HOME by more than 9.1 million New Yorkers, New York’s towns should not be considered subsidiaries of the state, but rather as partners in shaping New York’s future. Bill of Rights 1. Protect and Defend Municipal Home Rule As the level of government closest to the people, towns are best positioned to understand local needs, balance competing interests, and make decisions that shape daily life in meaningful ways. Preserving that authority matters not just for towns, but for the health of local democracy itself. 2. Protect Our Lands, Guide Our Development Land use and zoning decisions belong in local hands - not in statewide zoning schemes or arbitrary shot clock deadlines that ignore the voice of residents and elected officials that live there. 3. Freedom from Unfunded Mandates Local taxpayers should not be expected to bear the brunt of orders placed by bureaucrats in Albany and Washington, D.C. Taxpayers deserve fairness, and local budgets need relief. 4. Modernize Transparency, Accessibility and Engagement Outdated public notice requirements soak up very essential dollars in municipal budgets by forcing them to pay money for print public notices that can be often missed and are counterproductive to civic awareness. 5. A Voice in Decisions Impacting our Hometowns A true partnership between the State of New York and its local governments will propel the Empire State forward and bear dividends to benefit all New Yorkers. As the governing body closest to more than 9.1 million New Yorkers, town government should be treated by the state as true partners -- not as an afterthought or a hurdle to clear.
