Wawayanda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 104-4
Applicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall be applicable to any residentially zoned five-acre or larger parcel of land of which 75% of the parcel lies within 3,000 feet of the municipal boundary between the Town of Wawayanda and the City of Middletown.
Section 104-4 of Wawayanda's Code of Ordinances Chapter 104 establishes a precise geographic and size threshold that determines which properties fall under the chapter's rules. A residential parcel must be at least five acres in total area, and at least 75% of that parcel must sit within 3,000 feet of the boundary line shared between the Town of Wawayanda and the City of Middletown. Only parcels meeting both criteria are subject to the requirements of Chapter 104; all other residentially zoned land in Wawayanda is unaffected by this chapter.

Property owners and managers operating near the Wawayanda–Middletown municipal boundary should verify whether their parcels meet the dual threshold set out in § 104-4: a minimum of five acres in total area and at least 75% of the parcel lying within 3,000 feet of that boundary line. Operators whose properties satisfy both conditions generally treat their parcels as subject to all obligations imposed by Chapter 104, while those outside these parameters typically have no obligations under this chapter. Confirming parcel measurements and boundary proximity through a survey or municipal records is a common step compliant operators take when applicability is uncertain.
