Application for a development permit shall be made to the Building Official on forms furnished by him, prior to any development activities, and may include, but not be limited to, the following plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials; drainage facilities, and the location of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required.
(A) Elevation in relation to mean sea level of the proposed lowest floor (including basement) of all structures.
(B) Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any nonresidential structure will be flood-proofed.
(C) A certificate from a registered professional engineer or architect that the nonresidential flood-proofed structure meets the flood-proofing criteria in § 152.41(B).
(D) Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.
(E) A floor elevation or flood-proofing certification after the lowest floor is completed. Within 21 calendar days of establishment of the lowest floor elevation, or flood-proofing by whatever construction means, or upon placement of the horizontal structural members of the lowest floor, whichever is applicable, it shall be the duty of the permit holder to submit to the Building Official a certification of the elevation of the lowest floor, flood-proofed elevation, or the elevation of the lowest portion of the horizontal structural members of the lowest floor, whichever is applicable, as built, in relation to mean sea level. The certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a registered land surveyor or professional engineer and certified thereby. When flood-proofing is utilized for a particular building, the certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a professional engineer or architect and certified thereby. Any work done within the 21-day calendar period and prior to submission of the certification shall be at the permit holder's risk. The Building Official shall review the floor elevation survey data submitted. Deficiencies detected by such review shall be corrected by the permit holder immediately and prior to further progressive work being permitted to proceed. Failure to submit the survey or failure to make the corrections required hereby, shall be cause to issue a stop-work order for the project.
(F) Upon completion of the project and prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Building Official, a final Certificate of Occupancy shall be submitted for approval by the Building Official which provides certification that all applicable requirements of this chapter concerning final elevation of floors, electrical equipment, heating/cooling equipment, plumbing, gas etc. have been satisfied.
