The degree of flood protection required by this title is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on previous flood records. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions or flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes, such as bridge openings restricted or debris. This title does not imply that areas outside flood hazard areas or land uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This title shall not create liability on the part of the city or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this title or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. In no case shall responsibility or liability arise from the design or operation of subdivision drainage facilities dedicated to the city if the city has not accepted, in writing, the dedication and agreed to maintain and operate the facilities. (Ord. 90-02, 6-5-1990)
No land shall hereafter be subdivided or used without full compliance with the terms of this title and other applicable regulations including zoning, official maps, health codes and other regulations which apply to uses within the jurisdiction of this title. (Ord. 90-02, 6-5-1990)
