<br />. <br /> <br />(a) In their interpretation and application, the prov1s1ons <br />of the ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements <br />and shall be liberally construed in favor of the <br />governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or <br />repeal of any other powers granted by state statutes. <br /> <br />(b) The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be <br />determined by scaling distances on the Flood Plain Zoning <br />Map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact <br />location of the boundaries of the district as shown on <br />the Flood Plain Zoning Map, as for example where there <br />appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and <br />actual field condition, the Planning Commission shall <br />make the necessary interpretation based on elevations on <br />the regional (lOa-year) flood project and other available <br />technical data. Persons contesting the location of the <br />district boundaries shall be given a reasonable <br />opportunity to present their case to the Planning <br />Commission and to submit technical evidence. <br /> <br />Subdivision 5. Compliance. No structure or land shall <br />hereafter be used and no structure shall be located, extended, <br />converted, or structurally altered without full compliance with the <br />terms of this Chapter and other applicable regulations which apply <br />to uses within the jurisdiction of this Chapter. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Subdivision 6. Abroqation and Greater Restrictions. It is <br />not intended by this Chapter to repeal, abrogate, or impair any <br />existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, <br />where this Chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of <br />this Chapter shall prevail. In all cases, provisions of Chapter <br />48, Wetland zoning Ordinance and the Local Water Manaqement Plan <br />date February 12. 1990 subiect to subsequent revisions, shall be <br />considered more restrictive than this Chapter. <br /> <br />Subdivision 7. Warninq and Disclaimer of Liability.
