In interpreting and applying this chapter, its provisions shall
be held to be the minimum requirements for promotion of health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the Township. Any use permitted subject
to the regulations prescribed by the provisions of this chapter shall
conform with all regulations for the zoning district in which it is
located and to all other pertinent regulations of this chapter. This
chapter is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, annul, supersede
or cancel any easements, covenants, restrictions or reservations contained
in deeds or other agreements, but if this chapter imposes more stringent
restrictions upon the use of buildings and land than are contained
in the deeds or agreements, the provisions of the chapter would control.
A. In the event any provision, section, sentence, clause or part of
this section shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unconstitutional
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality
or unconstitutionality shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions,
sections, sentences, clauses or parts of this section, it being the
intent of the Board of Supervisors that the remainder of the section
shall be and shall remain in full force and effect.
