This article is intended to isolate and insulate
residential uses from agricultural uses. It is the intent of this
article that a one-hundred-foot buffer which shall include a six-foot
black vinyl-coated chain link fence and a twenty-five-foot vegetative
fence is to be constructed at property lines by the developer of a
residential major or minor subdivision where said residential major
or minor subdivision shall adjoin active or preserved farmland or
agricultural land.
A one-hundred-foot buffer, including living
and six-foot black vinyl-coated chain link fencing as hereinafter
provided shall be constructed for all residential subdivisions in
the Township of Woolwich where said residential major and minor subdivisions
adjoin any of the following:
Fencing pursuant to this article shall be defined as follows: six-foot black vinyl-coated chain link fence to be constructed pursuant to the standards of §
203-70, Fences, and living fences as herein described under §
203-107 of this article.
This article may be enforced by a developer,
any landowner, any adjoining landowner, any person holding any prescriptive
right, easement right, any homeowners' association, the municipality
or the Police Department of the municipality or any other person as
permitted by law. Enforcement resulting in repairs will be at the
cost of the homeowner and/or may result in a fine imposed by the Township
of Woolwich.
Nothing shall prevent any fence from being built
on a boundary line in accordance with the Township of Woolwich ordinance
requirements with the written consent of both parties (i.e., developer/owner
and adjoining landowner).
Any part of this article may be waived by the
Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment upon formal application
of the Township of Woolwich where such Board makes specific findings
that the imposition of the requirements pursuant to this article would
be detrimental to landowners, their uses of the property, or to the
Township of Woolwich.
