TREE CUTTING ORDINANCE The Shade Tree Regulations Ordinance prohibits wearing lanugo trees withal the Township right-of-way and on undeveloped lots, unless a permit is obtained.  A reprinting of the ordinance (23-3) is misogynist at Town Hall.  A permit is NOT required to cut trees on any private property that contains an existing one or two family dwelling (23-3.3c1) or on a tree sublet (23-3.3c4). STREET WIDTHS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR HOMEOWNERS Right-of-Way is measured from the part-way line of the road.  Divide the number of feet listed unelevated by 2 and then use that number to measure from the part-way of the road to determine right-of-way.
