It is not the intent of this Ordinance to repeal, abrogate, annul, impair, or interfere with any existing easements, covenants, agreements, rules, regulations, permits, or approvals previously adopted or issued pursuant to law. However, where this Ordinance imposes greater restrictions, and such restrictions do not contravene rights vested under law, the provisions of this Ordinance shall govern.
The provisions of this Ordinance shall be interpreted to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Village, and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other power granted by the Wisconsin Statutes.
The Village does not guarantee, warrant, or represent that only those areas delineated as floodplains on plats and certified survey maps will be subject to periodic inundation, nor does the Village guarantee, warrant, or represent that the soils shown to be unsuited for a given land use from tests required by the Ordinance are the only unsuited soils within the jurisdiction of this Ordinance; and thereby asserts that there is no liability on the part of the Village Board, its agencies or agents, or employees for flooding problems, sanitation problems, or structural damages that may occur as a result of reliance upon, and conformance with, this Ordinance.
