1. Interpretation. In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Ordinance, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare.
2. Conflict with Public and Private Provisions.
A. Public Provisions. Where any provision of this Ordinance imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of this Ordinance or any other ordinance, rule, or regulation, or other provisions of law, whether local, State or Federal, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control.
B. Private Provisions. This Ordinance is not intended to abrogate any easement, covenant of any other private agreement or restriction, provided that where the provisions of this Ordinance are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than such easement, covenant, or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of this Ordinance shall govern. Where the provisions of the easement, covenant or private agreement or restriction impose duties and obligations more restrictive, or higher standards than the requirements of these regulations, or the determinations of the Board of Supervisors in approving a subdivision or in enforcing this Ordinance, and such private provision are not inconsistent with this Ordinance or determinations thereunder, then such private provisions shall be operative and supplemental to these regulations and determinations made thereunder.
3. Municipal Liability. The grant of a permit or approval of a plan for any proposed subdivision and/or land development to be located within any identified floodplain area or district shall not constitute a representation, guarantee, or warranty of any kind by Springfield Township or by any official or employee thereof of the practicability or safety of the proposed use, and shall create no liability upon Springfield Township, its officials or employees.
