[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
The Municipal Zoning Office shall prepare and designate an application
completeness checklist. A condition precedent to application completeness
is the submission of a landscaping plan and tree removal escrow. A
certified landscape plan must be submitted with the development application
or permit application. If either the landscape plan and/or the tree
removal escrow have not been submitted, a "completeness" letter will
not be issued.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
A five hundred ($500.00) dollar escrow will be required to address
the cost to review each landscape plan; this fee shall include two
(2) site inspections by the Borough Planner.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
A landscape escrow of seven hundred fifty and ($750.00) dollars
will be required for all multi-family and commercial developments.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
A five hundred ($500.00) dollar escrow will be required for
all single- and two-family development applications not requiring
Municipal Board approval.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
The construction of any item noted on the landscaping plan shall
be completed prior to the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. If,
due to inclement weather, the landscaping plan cannot be completed,
a temporary Certificate of Occupancy may be granted; however, the
escrow will only be released once the landscape plan has been accepted
by the Borough and a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
If upon submission of proposed construction plans, the Zoning
Officer determines that tree(s) within the Borough right-of-way must
be removed in the construction process, then the applicant shall post
an escrow of six hundred ($600.00) dollars per each proposed tree
to be removed. The applicant shall be required to plant replacement
tree(s) (caliper width 2.5 to 3 inches per tree) per the approved
landscaping plan. The Borough shall not issue a permanent Certificate
of Occupancy until the trees are replaced or in the alternative, the
Borough shall retain the escrow and replace the trees per the landscaping
plans. The cost of compliance shall be limited to six hundred ($600.00)
dollars per tree.
[Ord. No. 2009-21, § 2]
