WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) -- A Washington Township man said he could be forced to remove a statue dedicated to a girl who died from cancer-related treatments from his property after a township zoning officer told him he was violating a township ordinance.

Martino Cartier, the founder of an organization dedicated to helping kids with cancer called Wigs and Wishes, said the zoning officer told him he could also be subject to a $1,000 fine if he doesn't comply with the ordinance.

Carter placed the statue at his home in Washington Township to honor the life of MacKenzie Rose, who he says died from cancer-related treatments a couple of years ago.
