such planting and compliance with the provisions of this Article, such deposit
or any balance remaining after deducting the cost of removing any debris or
the restoration of any grass areas shall be refunded to the applicant.
[Amended 3-18-1982 by L.L. No. 2-1982]
No permit shall be issued by the Director of Public Works for any such

the size and variety of the trees or shrubs to be planted and the location
thereof.
Any tree or shrub planted within the lines of any street or highway
on the Official Map of the Incorporated Village of Garden City shall become
the property of said village.
Any violation of the provisions of this Article shall render each offender
liable to a fine of not less than $10, nor more than $25 or to be prosecuted
as and declared to be a disorderly person, or both, for each offense, and,
in addition, the village reserves the right to seize, remove and dispose of
any planting in violation.
