§ 1.6. Interpretation and conflict.

A.

Minimum requirements. The provisions of this ordinance are determined to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare in the township.

B.

Conflict. This ordinance shall not repeal, annul in any way, impair, or interfere with existing provisions of other laws, ordinances, or regulations, except those repealed within this ordinance by specific reference, or with private restrictions placed upon property by covenant, deed, or other private agreement, or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the township is a party. Where this ordinance imposes greater restrictions, limitations, or requirements upon the following, the provisions of this ordinance shall control the use and development of land.

C.

Enforcement of private agreements. In no case shall the township be obligated to enforce the provisions of any easements, covenants, or agreements between private parties. All applicants and landowners shall be responsible for obligations and restrictions applicable to subject properties by private agreements.

D.

County, state, and federal laws. The township shall not enforce county, state, or federal laws. However, township approvals of development may be conditioned upon securing all applicable outside governmental agency approvals. When state and federal laws preempt local zoning authority, the township recognizes that zoning regulations are superseded by those regulations.
