(A) Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare.
(B) Conflict with public and private provisions.
(1) Public provisions. This chapter is not intended to interfere with, abrogate or annul any other ordinance, rule, regulation, statute or other provision of law. Where any provision of this chapter imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of this chapter or any other ordinance, rule, regulation or other provision of law, those provisions which are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control.
(2) Private provisions. This chapter is not intended to abrogate any easement or covenant or any other private agreement or restriction provided that where the provisions of this chapter are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than such easement, covenant or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of this chapter shall govern. Where the provisions of the easement, covenant or private agreement or restriction impose more restrictive duties and obligations or higher standards than the requirements of this chapter or of the determinations of the Commission in enforcing this chapter, and such private provisions are not inconsistent with this chapter or the determinations thereunder, then such private provisions shall be operative and supplemental to this chapter and the determinations made thereunder. Private provisions can only be enforced privately unless a public agency such as the Town Council or Plan Commission has been made a party to such agreements.
