Any site for which an application has been submitted
shall be subject to inspection at any reasonable time, including weekends
and holidays, by the members of the approving authority or its designated
representatives. Notice will be provided to applicants of any site
inspection that it is to be performed on a weekend, legal holiday
or between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. The applicant shall
indemnify and hold the Village, its officers, employees and agents
harmless against any damage or injury which may be caused by or arise
out of entry into the subject site in connection with the processing
of the application or inspection of the site to determine compliance
with any conditions of permit approval during the pendency of the
application, during the effective period of any site development plan
or work permit issued for the site for up to one year after the completion
of the work.
Any construction or operations existing within
areas defined as steep slopes prior to the effective date of this
chapter shall be exempt from this chapter, provided that no new construction
or operation will be permitted after the effective date for this chapter
except by permit as provided.
If any provision of this chapter is held for
any reason to be invalid, such determination shall not invalidate
any other provision thereof. If this chapter, or any provision thereof,
is held to be violative of vested rights in any subdivision approved
prior to the effective date of this chapter, this chapter shall not
be applicable to such subdivision but shall nevertheless be applicable
to all other properties not so affected.
