(A) It is not intended by this ordinance to impede or prohibit development of privately owned properties which by proper filling can be safely raised above the floodplain area, provided that this filling does not alter the natural storm drainage in any manner which will unreasonably discharge storm waters upon the lands of others or unreasonably impede the natural flow of storm waters.
(B) In the event the owner of lands shall elect to fill floodplain areas for the purpose of improvement of the same, then the owner shall apply to the Board of Flood Control Appeals for permission, and if the Board shall determine that the intent and purpose of this section or this ordinance shall be preserved by granting that permission, then permission may be granted. Upon completion of the fill as directed by the Board of Flood Control Appeals, then thereafter the owner of the land involved may make future improvements thereon, even though the area is within the floodplain area designated upon the maps which are part of this ordinance, without further permission from the Board. The Board may impose conditions, including requiring bond, as it shall deem necessary to preserve the intent and purpose of this ordinance when granting permission to fill. In its consideration the Board of Flood Control Appeals shall utilize the criteria as set forth in § 155.02 of this code and the general and specific standards for flood hazard reduction and the specific base flood elevation standards.
