§ 67-3. Existing bamboo regulated.

Any bamboo which has been planted, installed or otherwise permitted to grow in any property within the Town of North Hempstead prior to the effective date of this chapter may remain on such property, subject to compliance with this chapter. Property owners shall be responsible to ensure that preexisting bamboo does not encroach or grow upon any adjoining or neighboring property or properties, including all public property and rights-of-way held by the Town, and shall be required to take such reasonable measures to prevent such bamboo from invading or growing onto adjoining or neighboring properties. Such measures shall include installation of sheathing comprised of metal or other material impenetrable by bamboo at a sufficient depth within the property line or lines where the bamboo is planted or is growing to prevent the growth of encroachment upon adjoining or neighboring property by said bamboo.
