This chapter is declared necessary in the general
interest of the public and has for its purpose the protection of the
people, their property and rights. It is intended to promote the general
public safety and welfare and is enacted under the applicable laws
of New Jersey, together with the general police powers either specifically
granted to municipalities or reserved to the people by constitutional
mandate or otherwise.
Because the acts of persons as hereafter described
do or may injure the rights of others, the following requirements
are hereby imposed and declared necessary for the general protection
of the public:
A. It shall be unlawful to dress, undress, change clothing
or sleep in any type of motor vehicle or other type of vehicle except
in a house trailer lawfully parked in a trailer park.
B. The playing of baseball, football, hockey or any type
or kind of game on the public streets running northeast and southwest
is hereby prohibited.
C. No person shall urinate, defecate or expectorate in
any public place or private place within public view or in any other
place open to and used by the public or outdoors upon any private
property within the Borough of Barnegat Light. For the purposes of
this subsection, as same pertains to urinating and defecating, there
shall be a rebuttable presumption this subsection was violated by
a person who is in close proximity to what appears to be fresh urine
and/or feces in the area and such person is in the process of disrobing,
dressing or otherwise adjusting his or her clothing.
[Added 8-18-1999 by Ord. No. 99-7]

pavilion, gazebo, ramps, or similar facilities. This restriction shall
not apply to the Borough skatepark, nor shall it apply to the use
of handicap assistance equipment (walkers or wheelchairs for handicapped
individuals).
