[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council
of the Borough of North Arlington 5-22-2006 by Ord. No. 1959. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Borough of North Arlington shall not use
the power of eminent domain to take property which is residential
property under any circumstances unless it is absolutely necessary
to transfer the property for direct public purposes such as the need
for the Borough to construct schools, sewer, water, sidewalks and
other public easements which are necessary for the public good of
the Borough, and where there is no other available land for the specific
purpose of making land available for that public use.
In no event, even under the most extraordinary
circumstances, shall the Borough attempt to take anyone's property,
residential or otherwise, without paying the owner the reasonable
value of that property.
