The regulations, restrictions and boundaries
enacted by this chapter may from time to time be amended, supplemented,
changed, modified or repealed. In case, however, of a protest against
such change signed by the owners of 30% or more either of the area
of the lots included in such proposed change or of those immediately
adjacent in the rear thereof extending 100 feet therefrom, or of those
directly opposite thereto, extending 100 feet from the street frontage
of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective except
by the favorable vote of a majority of the members of the Board of
Trustees. However, no such regulations, restrictions or boundary shall
be amended, supplemented or changed until after a public hearing in
relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall
have an opportunity to be heard. At least 15 days' notice of the time
and place of such hearing shall be published in a paper of general
circulation in the Village.
In their interpretation and application, the
provisions of this chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements
adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience
and general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to repeal,
abrogate, annul or in any way to impair or interfere with any existing
provisions of the law or ordinance or any rules, regulations or permits
previously adopted or issued, or which shall be adopted or issued
pursuant to law relating to the use of buildings or premises; nor
is it intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul
easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; provided,
however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon
the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings or
requires larger yards, courts or other open spaces than are imposed
or required by such existing provisions of law or ordinance, or by
such rules, regulations or permits, or by such easements, covenants
or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
