This Ordinance shall not be construed in any manner or form to limit or restrict the power or authority of the County or the County Engineer to maintain, operate, improve, construct, reconstruct, manage, widen, or expand any County Highway as may be best determined, as provided by law, including the modification, restriction, or elimination of any access facility permitted under this Ordinance or any access facility permitted prior to the adoption of this Ordinance. 3.3 Enactment This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and effective date according to law except for all access requests submitted prior to the adoption of this Ordinance and which have received written preliminary approval. All requests submitted prior to adoption of this Ordinance which have not been given written preliminary approval and all requests submitted subsequent to the adoption of this Ordinance shall be governed by the provisions of this Ordinance as finally enacted. 3.4 Repealer and Savings Clause The prior policies establishing rules, regulations, and specifications governing access to County Highways are hereby repealed, provided such repeal shall not affect the right of the County to institute any action at law or in equity to require compliance or prosecute violations thereunder, it being the County's intention to preserve all such causes of action and not to excuse any violation under the prior rules, regulations, and specifications, 7
