A. Jurisdiction: This title shall be considered as an implementation of sound planning for the development of the village. The provisions of this title shall apply to land situated within the corporate limits and to territory within one and one-half (11/2) miles beyond the corporate limits of the village as now or hereafter existing which is not included in any other municipality, except as such jurisdiction is limited by the provisions of Illinois Compiled Statutes or by agreement between the village and any other municipality.
B. Interpretation:
1. Where the conditions imposed by any provisions of this title are either more restrictive or less restrictive than comparable conditions imposed by any other provision of this title, or of any law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation of any kind, the regulations which are more restrictive or which impose higher standards or requirements shall govern.
2. This title is not intended to abrogate any easement, covenant, or other private agreement; provided, that where the regulations of this title are more restrictive or impose higher standards or requirements than such easements, covenants, or other private agreements, the requirements of this title shall govern.
3. A subdivision of land which was not lawfully existing at the effective date hereof shall not become or be made lawful solely by reason of adoption of this title; and to the extent that, in any manner that said subdivision of land is in conflict with the requirements of this title, said subdivision of land remains unlawful hereunder.
C. Severability: If any part or parts of this title are held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this title which shall remain in full force and effect. (Ord. 2005-39, 10-12-2005)
