Clear-cutting is defined as: The removal of trees from a forested area to the extent that there is a clear danger of soil erosion and depositing of eroded soil upon adjacent land, public roads, private roads, or into adjacent waterways. The removal of all trees from a forested area at one time, without regard to species, quality, age or spacing shall be deemed clear-cutting.
Clear-cutting is prohibited, except to the extent necessary to clear a building site, driveway, pool, tennis court, accessory building, household sewage treatment system and right of way providing access to the site from a dedicated public highway, after a permit therefor has been issued by the Building Inspector.
