The following matters are hereby determined, declared, recited
and stated:
A. It is understood that the map approved and adopted pursuant to §
158-20 of this article was prepared and is intended to be used as evidence in prosecution arising under the criminal laws of the State of New Jersey, and that pursuant to state law, such map shall constitute prima facie evidence of the following:
(1) The location of public parks and public buildings owned, leased or
controlled by the Township of East Brunswick.
(2) The boundaries of the real property which is utilized in connection
with public parks and public buildings owned, leased or controlled
by the Township of East Brunswick.
(3) That such property continues to be used as public parks and/or public
buildings.
(4) The location and boundaries of areas which are on or within 500 feet
of such public parks and public buildings.
B. Except as is otherwise expressly noted on the face of the approved
map, all of the property depicted on the map as drug-free public park
and drug-free public building area was owned, leased or controlled
by the Township of East Brunswick and was being used for public parks
and/or public buildings as of March 17, 2009.
C. Pursuant to the provisions of P.L. 1997, c. 327 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7.1),
a prosecutor is not precluded from introducing or relying upon any
other evidence or testimony to establish a violation of the offense
defined in that statute, including use of a map or diagram other than
the one approved and adopted pursuant to § 159-20 of this
article. The failure of the map approved herein to depict the location
and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for public
parks and/or public buildings and which is owned, leased or controlled
by the Township of East Brunswick, whether the absence of such depiction
is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any change
in the location and boundaries of such property which has not yet
been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed
to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned
or leased by the Township of East Brunswick or that such property
is not used for public parks or public buildings.
D. All of the requirements of P.L. 1997, c. 327 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7.1)
concerning the preparation, approval and adoption of a drug-free public
area map have been complied with.
