This Ordinance is not intended to revoke or repeal any other public law, ordinance, regulation, or permit.  However, where conditions, standards, or requirements imposed by any provision of this Ordinance are either more restrictive or less restrictive than comparable standards imposed by any other public law, ordinance, or regulation, the provisions that are more restrictive or that impose higher standards or requirements shall govern.  Wherever the provisions of this Ordinance require a greater width or size of yards or courts, a lower height of building, a lesser number of stories, or a greater percentage of lot to be left unoccupied, or impose other standards which are higher than those set forth in another statute, ordinance, or regulation, then the provisions of this Ordinance shall govern.  Wherever the provisions of any other statute, ordinance, or regulation require a greater width or size of yard or courts, a lower height of building, a lesser number of stories, or a greater percentage of lot to be left unoccupied, or impose other standards which are higher than those set forth in this Ordinance, then the provisions of such statute, ordinance, or regulation shall govern.

1.8.2  Conflict with Private Agreements

This Ordinance is not intended to revoke or repeal any easement, covenant, or other private agreement.  However, where the regulations of this Ordinance are more restrictive or impose higher standards or requirements than such easement, covenant, or other private agreement, then the requirements of this Ordinance shall govern.  Nothing in this Ordinance shall modify or repeal any private covenant or deed restriction, but such covenant or restriction shall not excuse any failure to comply with this Ordinance.  In no case shall the Town be obligated to enforce the provisions of any easements, covenants, or agreements between private parties.
