If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part of this chapter or the application thereof to any person, individual, corporation, firm, partnership, entity or circumstance shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this chapter, or in its application to the person, individual, corporation, firm, partnership, entity, or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such order or judgment shall be rendered.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). This section was amended to remove the reference concerning the nonapplicability of an unnumbered and undated Town ordinance permitting and regulating holding or storage areas for used farm or construction equipment, which ordinance is repealed. See now § 71-21B.
A. 
This chapter shall not apply to or affect projects undertaken, established, sponsored, funded or controlled by the Town of Hartford or municipal or quasi-municipal corporations established by the Town Board of the Town of Hartford, including but not limited to local development corporations. All such projects are expressly exempt from this chapter. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding any contrary language contained in Chapter 105, Site Plan Review, any and all such projects which are exempt from this chapter are nevertheless subject to Chapter 105, Site Plan Review. In the event of a conflict between the interpretation of the Hartford Site Plan Review Local Law in Chapter 105 and this provision, this provision shall control and require exempt projects to be subject to site plan review by the Town of Hartford Planning Board.
B. 
This chapter shall not apply to or affect the storage area for used farm or construction equipment of any farm operation. This exemption shall only apply to working farm operations as defined in the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law. The used equipment as defined herein shall include both working and end-of-life farm or construction equipment. No farm operation shall accept for disposal any farm or construction equipment; all stored farm or construction equipment shall be the property of the landowner. This exception shall not exempt any person from any laws or obligations relative to refuse disposal or environmental contaminants that may result from the storage of said equipment.
