Township of Cheltenham Ordinance No. 1824-95 (Nuisances)

Example of a Pennsylvania municipal nuisance ordinance that makes some accommodation for creating meadow in a yard (rather than the typical ordinance that simply outlaws lawn alternatives). Its 50' setback from street and 25' setback from structures, however, can make its utility quite limited for smaller lots. (See section 188-2. Vegetation subsection 1-a for exceptions for meadows and naturalized areas.)
