Prior to being given a permit to participate in the program,
each interested party must secure the written consent of all contiguous
property owners. Any such consent will not run with the land but will
be specific to the neighbor giving consent. However, any consent given
pursuant to this article shall be effective, regardless of any change
in ownership of neighboring properties.
Chickens may not be slaughtered on any outdoor property in the
Township of Maplewood.
Any person or party violating any provision of this article
shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $1,000. Upon written notification
the family will have up to two weeks to abate the violation. The actual
length of time will be stipulated in the written notification. Each
day that a violation continues shall be considered a separate offense.
In the event that a permittee wishes to no longer participate,
the permittee must make arrangements for the relocation of the chickens
and removal of all structures at the permittee's sole costs and expense.
