Chapter 90 Drug-Free School Zones
Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Knowlton by Ord. No. 88-13 (Sec. 3-7 of the Revised General Ordinances). Amendments noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to the authority of the Public Laws of New Jersey, 1988, Chapter 44 (codified N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7), there is hereby established a drug-free school zone map as promulgated by Norton B. Rodman, P.E., Municipal Engineer for the Township of Knowlton, which map is dated August 1988. It is hereby adopted as the official record of areas located within the Township of Knowlton of property which is used for school purposes and which is owned or leased to any private or public elementary or secondary school or board of education, and of the areas on or within 1,000 feet of any such school property.
The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to § 90-1 shall continue to constitute an official finding and record as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within 1,000 feet of property owned by or leased to any public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school or board of education which are used for school purposes until such time, if any, that this chapter shall be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location and boundaries of school property and drug-free school zones.
The Board of Education, or the chief administrative officer in the case of any private or parochial school, is hereby directed and shall have the continuing obligation to promptly notify the Township Engineer and Township Attorney of the Township of any changes or contemplated changes in the location and boundaries of any property owned by or leased to any public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school or board of education and which is used for school purposes.
The Clerk of the Township of Knowlton is hereby directed to receive and to keep on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant to § 90-1 and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof to any person, agency or court which may from time to time request such a copy, along with a certification that such copy is a true copy of the map approved and adopted herein and kept on file. It is hereby further directed that a true copy of such map and of this chapter shall be provided without cost to the Warren County Clerk and to the office of the Warren County Prosecutor.
It is understood that the map approved and adopted pursuant to § 90-1 was prepared and is intended to be used as evidence in prosecutions arising under the criminal laws of this state and that, pursuant to state law, such map shall constitute prima facie evidence of the following:
The location of public, private or parochial elementary and secondary schools within the municipality;
Except as is otherwise expressly noted on the face of the approved and adopted map, all of the property depicted on the map approved and adopted herein as school property was owned by or leased to a school or board of education and was being used for school purposes as of July 9, 1987, that being the effective date of P.L. 1987, c. 101 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7).
Pursuant to the provisions of Public Laws of 1988, Chapter 44, a prosecutor is not precluded from introducing or relying upon any other evidence or testimony to establish a violation of the offense defined in that statute, including use of a map or diagram other than the one approved and adopted pursuant to § 90-1. The failure of the map approved herein to depict the location and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board, whether the absence of such depiction is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any changes in the location and boundaries of such property which have not yet been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to a school or school board, or that such property is not used for school purposes.
