It has been a real treat working on the due-diligence research on the property across the street. One of my tasks was to read the Warwick Township Zoning Ordinance cover to cover. I am impressed with the level of organization and order that is maintained in Warwick Township and it was fascinating to compare Warwick's Ordinance with Elizabeth Township's Ordinance. Just by looking at the size of the two documents you can tell that Warwick is much more developed and has experienced a lot more growth than Elizabeth Twp has. That's not to say that Elizabeth is not as good or anything like that, it's just the different in the two municipalities. I appreciate the work of Dan Zimmerman, Warwick Twp Manager and the direction he has charted for Warwick. His job regularly puts him in a difficult position, making people unhappy, but his approach has benefited the residents of Warwick Township as a whole. I commend him for his efforts.
In reading the Warwick Ordinance, I was struck by a few particulars that are probably not common knowledge. Did you know...
- You are only allowed to have up to 2 adult dogs in your house (§302 (10))?
- Vehicles without current license plates or inspection stickers are only allowed to be stored in enclosed buildings (§303 (6))?
- The Zoning Ordinance specifically states what car repairs you can and cannot make to your vehicle on your property unless it is in an enclosed building (§302 (9))?
- You are only permitted to hold 2 garage sales on your property each year and no garage sale can last for more than 3 days ((§302 (8))?
- The Ordinance specifically states that speed bumps should not exceed 3 inches in height and must have a warning sign (§312 (5))?
