Approvals under this section do not remove the obligation to obtain all other necessary construction permits that may be required by the Village or other agency.
LIABILITY:
Neither the Village of Baldwin, nor the Village’s assignees or successors as hereinafter provided, shall be liable for any damage, loss or prejudice suffered or claimed by any Owner, Lessees or Licensee, or by any such Owners’ architect, engineer or contractor, who submits such plan for approval.
