[Amended 8-15-1988 by L.L. No. 5-1988]
If any part or provision of this code or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance is adjudged invalid by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation
to the part, provision or application directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect
or impair the validity of the remainder of this code or the application
thereof to other persons or circumstances. The Town Board hereby declares
that it would have enacted the remainder of this code even without
any such part, provision or application.
All portions of all local laws and ordinances of the Town of
Orangetown inconsistent with the provisions of this section are hereby
repealed.
This code shall take effect immediately.
Any violation of the Zoning Code of the Town of Orangetown existing
at the time of the adoption of this Zoning Code, and any prosecution
pending or civil action pending against an alleged violator, shall
not be abated by the adoption of this code but shall continue as if
the code had not been adopted. Any pending permit shall be processed
by the Building Department as if this code had not been adopted except
as follows: Any person, firm or corporation who shall have an application
for a permit pending but which permit has not been issued because
the Board of Architectural Review has not yet processed the application
shall be entitled to have such permit issued as if this code had not
been adopted; this shall not apply, however, if the Zoning Board of
Appeals or Planning Board, if required, has not processed a pending
application or rendered final approval of a subdivision or a decision
granting a variance.
