[Res. 1/2/2001A]
1.Â
The Township does not prohibit property owners from placing mailboxes
within the limits of the legal right of way, as it is recognized that
the post office has certain placement requirements regarding the location
of mailboxes.
2.Â
However, since these mailboxes are not placed under permit regulations,
they are technically deemed to be encroachments, which are placed
and remain at the risk of the property owner. Therefore, Shrewsbury
Township is not liable for damages to mailboxes, fencing, shrubbery,
trees, etc., caused by snow removal or other maintenance operations
where the same are located within the limits of the legal right of
way.
