BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows: Section -L• TITLE. This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger Local Law No. 2 of 2015 entitled "A Temporary Town -Wide Moratorium the Installation of Freestanding or Ground - Mounted Solar Energy Systems." Section -IL• PURPOSE AND INTENT. A. It is the intention of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger in enacting this Local Law to temporarily suspend the installation of Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, as defined in Section IV herein, by the imposition of a temporary moratorium on the issuance of permits and approvals for such installations for a period of three (3) months from the effective date of this Local Law. Provision is made in this Local Law to allow for extension of the three month moratorium if necessary. B. The purpose of this temporary moratorium is to enable the Town of Wappinger to temporarily halt the installation of Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, for a reasonable period of time to enable the Town to adopt appropriate regulations of ground mounted solar panels which are not currently regulated in the Town of Wappinger Zoning Code. C. In recent years, the installation of solar energy systems on commercial and residential properties has become wide spread due to various tax incentives and leasing options. Solar panels are promoted by New York State and the Federal Government as sustainable energy sources that reduce dependence on fossil fuels. D. Solar panels have become, or will become, typical accessory uses for residential and commercial properties but they are not specifically regulated by the Town Code. E. The Town of Wappinger recognizes that solar panels have many benefits for the property owner and the community in general but wise regulation regarding the placement of ground mounted panels are required. F. The installation of solar energy systems, particularly Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, have impacts on neighboring properties. Solar panels are not always visually compatible with their setting and they require the clearing of trees and structures to insure that sunlight reaches the solar collectors. F:\0) Chris\Local Laws\Freestanding Solar Panels\Local Law Moratorium on Solar Panel Installation (3).doc Last Saved: 10/20/2015 12:43 6.4.a Packet Pg. 9 G. The temporary moratorium is being limited to Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, because solar energy systems that are mounted on rooftops or existing buildings require less tree clearing and they can be visually integrated into the existing structure. H. During the period of this temporary moratorium, the Town Board intends to suspend land use regulations in the Town Code which conflict with the effect and intent of this Local Law. Section -III: LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS OF FACT. A. The Town Board hereby finds that, pending the completion of the necessary studies, meetings, hearings, environmental review and other actions necessary and incident to proper consideration and adoption of a Local Law regulating the installation of Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, and any revisions and amendments of the land use regulations of the Town, reasonable measures must be taken to maintain the status quo in order to protect the public interest and ensure that future solar energy system installations will be . B. The Town Board finds that it is in the long term interest of the public and its welfare to prevent the premature and inappropriate installation of Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems that would cause impacts to properties in the Town of Wappinger. C. The Town Board finds that the temporary moratorium should be limited to Freestanding or Ground -Mounted Solar Energy Systems, because solar energy systems that are mounted on rooftops or existing buildings require less tree clearing and site preparation and can be visually integrated into the existing structure more readily. Section -IV: DEFINITIONS. A. FREESTANDING OR GROUND -MOUNTED SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM.

For the purposes of this Local Law, unnecessary hardship shall not be the mere delay in being permitted to make an application or waiting for a decision on the application for a special permit, site plan, subdivision, variance or other permit during the period of the moratorium imposed by this Local Law.
