ARTICLE 1
General Provisions
1. 1 The By-Laws of the Town of Belmont shall consist of two parts, as follows:
Part I—General By-Laws
Part II—Zoning By-Law
The Zoning By-Law, as amended, in force on the effective date of this codification of the General By-Laws shall remain in force and shall not be affected by any provisions of the General By-Laws except as may be specifically provided therein.
1.2 All By-Laws of the Town in force prior to the effective date of these General By-Laws, except the Zoning By-Law, are hereby repealed, subject to the provisions of the following Section 1.3.
1.3 The repeal of any By-Law shall not affect any act theretofore done, any liability incurred, any right accrued or established, any action suit or proceeding commenced, or any punishment, penalty or forfeiture incurred under such repealed By-Law. The repeal of a By-Law shall not have the effect of reviving any By-Law previously in force.
1.4 If any of the provisions of the General By-Laws shall affect matters addressed in a statute to which the Town is subject, a reasonable effort shall be made to construe such provisions consistently with the statute. In case of conflict between the provisions of a statute and any provision of the General By-Laws, the statute shall control, but only to the extent of such conflict.
1.5 Any person violating any provision of the General By-Laws shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $100.00 for each offense, unless the By-Law specifically provides for a different amount.
