If the applicant can clearly demonstrate that
because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his land the literal
enforcement of one or more of these regulations is impracticable or
will exact undue hardship, the Planning Board may permit such variance
or variances as may be reasonable and within the general purposes
and scope of the rules, regulations and standards established by this
chapter.
Copies of this chapter shall be filed with the
County Clerk, the County Planning Board and the Borough Clerk and
shall be made available to any person desiring a copy upon the payment
of a fee established by the governing body.
[Amended 11-9-1992 by Ord. No. 14-92[1]]
Except as may be provided by New Jersey statute
or elsewhere in this chapter, each and every violation of the provisions
of this chapter shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $2,000,
by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 90 days
and/or a period of community service not to exceed 90 days, at the
discretion of the Municipal Court. Each day the violation shall continue
after a notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct or remedy the
violation shall constitute a separate violation. In the event the
court wishes to impose a fine in an amount greater than $1,250 upon
an owner of real property for violations of housing or zoning codes
of the Borough, then and in that event a thirty-day grace period shall
be provided to said owner in order to cure or abate the violative
condition, and said owner shall also be afforded an opportunity for
a hearing before a court of competent jurisdiction for an independent
determination concerning said violation. Subsequent to the expiration
of the thirty-day period, a fine greater than $1,250 may be imposed
if a court has not determined otherwise or, upon reinspection of the
property the court determines that the abatement has not been substantially
completed.
