[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council
of the Borough of Saddle River 7-8-1974 as Secs. 17-6 through 17-9 of the 1974
Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The owners or tenants of all land abutting any
traveled roads within the Borough shall maintain all bushes and trees
on their land in such a manner as to prevent any part thereof from
projecting over the public easement between the elevation of the road
and a height of 15 feet.
The owners or tenants of all land abutting any
traveled roads and within 30 feet of the point of intersection of
the side lines of the road where the side line intersects at an angle
of 150° or less shall remove all brush and bushes over 24 inches
in height and branches of trees below 15 feet, measured from the roadbed
from the land bounded by the intersecting curbline and a line joining
points each 30 feet distant from the intersection of the curblines
along the curbline of each street.
The owners or tenants of any lands within the
Borough shall not maintain on such land any brush, weeds, dead and
dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash
and debris that may present a threat to the public health, safety
or general welfare or which is a fire hazard.
In the event that the owners or tenants of lands set forth in § 88-3 shall not comply with the provisions of such section within 10 days after service of a written notice to remove the materials, the Borough may, in a manner to be provided for by resolution of the Mayor and Council, remove the same and proceed to fix the cost thereof and charge the land with said cost as provided by N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.14.
