In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the
promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general
welfare. Except where specifically provided to the contrary, it is
not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any
way to impair or interfere with any rules, regulations or permits
previously adopted or issued or which shall be adopted or issued pursuant
to law relating to the use of buildings, structures, shelters or premises;
nor is it intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or
annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties;
provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction
upon the use of a building or premises or requires larger open spaces
than are imposed or required by any other statute, ordinance, rule,
regulation or permit or by any easement or agreement, the provisions
of this chapter shall control. In the event of conflict in the terminology
of any section or part thereof of this chapter, the more restrictive
provision shall control.
Should any section or provision of this chapter be decided by
the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall
not affect the validity of this chapter as a whole or part thereof
other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
Should any provision pertaining to special use permits be declared
unconstitutional or invalid, the Village Board declares that such
uses would not be permitted in whole or in part, and that such uses
are declared prohibited, absent the specific special use permit regulations.
Upon adoption, this chapter shall become effective upon filing
with the New York Secretary of State.
