It is not the intent of this ordinance, however, to repeal any
provisions in the County Floodland and Shoreland Sanitary
Ordinance (Chapter 13, Municipal Code of Kenosha County) as
created, amended or repealed and recreated or the Subdivision

commenced as defined in this ordinance, within six months after
the issuance of the permit and with the further provision,
however, that in the case of permits granted in the Shoreland-
Floodplain District that substantial construction is completed,

abrogate, impair or interfere with the legal rights of individu-
als as they may be guaranteed by the state and federal constitu-
tions, statutes, and administrative rules.      Claims for such
interference may be addressed through the administrative appeals

In the interpretation and application of this Ordinance, the
provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be the minimum

of any other power granted by the Wisconsin Statutes, as may be
amended from time to time, or now possessed by Kenosha County.
12.02-8    SEVERABILITY AND NON-LIABILITY

structure, land or water is adjudged unconstitutional or
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
judgment shall not be applicable to any other structure,

only those areas designated as floodlands will be subject
to periodic inundation or that those soils listed as being
unsuited for specific uses are the only unsuitable soils,
and hereby asserts that there is no liability on the part
of the Board of Supervisors, its agencies or employees for
any flood damage, sanitation problems, structural or other
damages that may occur as a result of reliance upon and
