5-13-09 New Jersey Shore Builders Association v. Township of
Jackson (A-83-07)
The Township of Jackson’s tree removal ordinance is a valid
exercise of police power because the details of the ordinance,
including the tree replacement fee, the escrow fund, and the
planting of trees and shrubs on public property when replanting
at the original location is not feasible, are rationally reto the broad environmental goals that inform the ordinance.
