(A) Interpretation. The provisions of this chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare. These regulations shall be construed broadly to promote the purposes for which they are adopted. Every portion of this code shall be construed liberally in favor of the village, and every regulation set forth herein shall be considered the minimum requirement for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare.
(B) Disclaimer of liability. Except as may be provided otherwise by statute or ordinance, no officer, board member, agent or employee of the village shall render himself personally liable for any damage that may accrue to persons or property as a result of any act required or permitted in the discharge of his duties under this code.
(C) Conflict.
(1) Public provisions. These regulations are not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any other provision of law except as provided in these regulations. Where any provision of these regulations imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of these regulations or any other ordinance, rule, or regulation, or other provision of law, the provision which is more restrictive or which imposes higher standards will control.
(2) Private provisions. These regulations are not intended to abrogate any easement, covenant, or other private agreement or restriction, provided that where the provisions of these regulations are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than the easement, covenant or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of these regulations shall govern.
(D) Severability. If any part or provision of these regulations or the application of these regulations to any person or circumstances is judged invalid by an court of competent jurisdiction, the judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which the judgment shall be rendered, and it shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of these regulations.
