Each owner of property in the Village of Hewlett Bay Park shall maintain
and care for or replace any trees, shrubs or plantings in the area
of a public right-of-way adjoining such property and located between
such owner's property and the paved area of any public street
or road in such adjoining right-of-way.
Without the prior written permission of the Village of Hewlett Bay
Park, no person shall plant any tree, shrub or other planting or erect
or place any fixtures, structures or materials in the area of a public

Where the Board of Trustees has reason to believe that any person
has violated any provision of this section, the Board of Trustees
may give written notice to such person, in such manner as may be determined
by the Board of Trustees, to appear before the Board of Trustees to
be heard in connection with such matter and with respect to any remedies
which the Board of Trustees may elect pursuant to this section. After
such appearance, the Board of Trustees may determine that such person
is in violation of a provision of this section and may require such
person to take such action as may be determined by the Board of Trustees
to be appropriate to remedy said violation. If such person fails to
complete such action within the time specified therefor by the Board
of Trustees, the Board of Trustees may direct that the village perform
such action and that the cost of such performance shall be reimbursed
to the village by each such person, together with the costs incurred
by the village, including legal expenses, for collection of such reimbursement.
If any such person is an owner of real property in the village, the
amount of such reimbursement shall be assessed against such real property
and collected in the same manner as provided for assessment and collection
of taxes on real property. The remedies provided in this subsection
shall be in addition to any other penalties which may be applicable
by law for any violation of this section.
