[Adopted as Sec. 4-6 of the 1973 Revised
General Ordinances]
[Amended 1-9-2006 by Ord. No. 38-2005]
The owner, tenant or occupant of lands lying
within the Township shall keep all bushes, hedges and other plant
life growing within 10 feet of any street right-of-way and within
25 feet of the intersection of two street lines cut to a height of
not more than 2 1/2 feet above the elevation of the crown of
the road.
Notice may be given to the owner of any lands
which he does not occupy by mailing same to his last known address
or to the place where the tax bills are sent.
If the owner, tenant or occupant refuses to
cut the brush, hedges or other plant life in violation of this article,
the Township Public Works Director may direct an official or an employee
of the Township to cut such brush, hedges or other plant life. The
person performing the cutting shall certify the cost thereof, and
the amount so charged shall become a lien upon the lands on which
the brush, hedges and other plant life grow and shall be added to
and become part of the taxes assessed and levied upon such lands and
shall bear interest at the same rate as other taxes and shall be collected
and enforced by the same officer and in the same manner as taxes.
