A.
The Town Board may, from time to time, on its own
motion, after public notice and hearing as prescribed by law, amend
any portion or all of this chapter. Every such proposed amendment
shall be referred to the Town Planning Board for report.
B.
The Town Board is also empowered to adopt such additional
rules, regulations and/or procedures as may be deemed necessary in
the interest of public health, safety and welfare to implement this
chapter and any amendments thereto.
In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the purposes set forth in Article I. Except where expressly provided otherwise, it is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with any rule, regulation or ordinance of the Town relating to the use of land or building; nor is it intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between parties; provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of land or buildings than is imposed or required by any other statute, ordinance, rule or regulation or by any easement, covenant 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 provisions shall prevail.
A.
If any provision of this chapter is declared invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined
in its operation to that provision of this chapter directly involved
in the controversy which gave rise to the judgment and shall no affect
or impair the validity of any other provision of this chapter.
B.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect
any suit or proceeding now pending in any court or any rights arising
prior to its enactment pursuant to provisions of law then in effect.
This chapter shall take effect on January 1,
1997. However, nothing herein contained shall require any change in
the plans, construction or designated use of a building for which
a permit has been issued or which is actually under construction at
the time of passage of this chapter and which entire building shall
be completed within one year from the effective date of this chapter.
