This chapter does not create liability on the part of the county or its officers or employees for water related damage that may result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decisions made under it.
(B) Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by state statutes.
(C) Supremacy. This chapter is not intended to abrogate any easements, restrictions, or covenants, relating to the use of land or imposed on lands within the community by private declaration or agreement, but where the provisions of this chapter are more restrictive than any such easement, restriction, or covenant, or the provision of any private agreement, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail.

Neither the issuance of approval under the provisions of this chapter nor the compliance with the provisions hereto or with any condition imposed by the issuing authority, shall relieve any person from responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting therefrom, or as otherwise imposed by law, nor impose any liability upon the county for damages to persons or property.
