<br />Section 27-7. Compliance.
<br />No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or
<br />altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable
<br />regulations. The terms of this chapter shall be enforced by the standards set forth in
<br />article 6.
<br />(1993, ord 93-78, sec 3.)
<br />Section 27-8. Other laws and regulations.
<br />All construction and improvements subject to this chapter shall comply with other
<br />applicable laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the zoning, building,
<br />electricity, plumbing, subdivision, erosion and sedimentation control chapters of the
<br />Hawaii County Code, and the storm drainage standards, October 1970 edition, or later
<br />revisions, of the County of Hawaii. This chapter, designed to reduce flood losses, shall
<br />take precedence over any less restrictive, conflicting laws, ordinances, and regulations.
<br />This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements,
<br />covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter and another chapter,
<br />easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more
<br />stringent restrictions shall prevail.
<br />In the event of a conflict between this chapter and the National Flood Insurance
<br />Program and Related Regulations (NFIP), as amended, the more restrictive provision
<br />will govern.
