Unless otherwise excepted by the Borough as
inconsistent with the overall master plan or not in the best interests
of the Borough, the Community Forestry Management Plan dated 10-16-2006
is hereby adopted and the policies and procedures contained therein
are incorporated by reference, including, by way of example and not
limitation, the provisions involving goals, administration, training,
public education, awareness and outreach, tree inventory, hazard management,
planting, maintenance, waste recycling and disaster plans. To the
extent there shall be any inconsistencies between this chapter and
the Community Forestry Management Plan, this chapter shall govern.
The Borough may require the Community Forestry Management Plan be
amended, modified or supplemented to comply with or effectuate the
purpose of this chapter or any amendments thereto.
The Community Forestry Management Plan shall
be periodically updated for submission and approval, upon the timetable
established or required by the State of New Jersey, for compliance
with the New Jersey Community Forestry Program under the New Jersey
Shade Tree and Community Forestry Assistance Act, P.L. 1996, Chapter
135, or as amended. Revised Community Forestry Management Plans shall
be adopted by the Borough prior to submission to the State of New
Jersey, subject only to modifications required by the state for approval.
