The owner or owners, tenant or tenants, of any
lands within the Township of Union, wherever necessary and expedient
for the preservation of the public safety, shall be required to keep
all brush, hedges and other plant life growing within 10 feet of any
roadway and within 25 feet of the intersection of two roadways cut
to a height of not more than 2 1/2 feet, and within 10 days after
written notice sent to the last known post office address of said
owner or tenant, by registered mail, said owner or tenant shall cut
the same.
In the event the owners, tenants or occupants
fail to correct said condition, the Township Public Works Superintendent
or authorized agent shall be empowered to issue summonses for failing
to correct said condition. In the event a summons is issued and the
owner, tenant or occupant still fails to correct such condition, the
Township Public Works Superintendent shall cause the work to be done,
and the property owner shall be assessed accordingly for the full
cost thereof in accordance with the statute in such case made and
provided.
In every case, in which by force of this article,
the cutting of the foregoing by reason of the refusal or neglect of
the tenant or owner to cut the same is done under the direction of
the Township Committee, the cost thereof shall be certified to the
Township Committee, which shall examine the certificate of cost and,
if found correct, shall cause the same as shown thereon to be charged
against the lands, and the amount so charged shall forthwith become
a lien upon such lands, and shall be added to, and become and form
part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands,
the same to bear interest at the same rate as taxes and to be collected
and enforced by the same officers, and in the same manner as payment
of taxes.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who shall refuse or neglect, after
proper notice, to comply with the demands therein made with respect
to the cutting of the foregoing, for the preservation of the public
safety and general welfare of the citizens of the Township of Union,
shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to one or more of the following:
imprisonment in the county jail, or in any other place provided by
the municipality for the detention of prisoners for any term not exceeding
90 days or by a fine not exceeding $2,000 or by a period of community
service not exceeding 90 days, to become effective on the effective
date of this section. Each and every day in which said owner or tenant
shall refuse or neglect to so cut said matter shall be and constitute
a separate offense.
