(a) Purpose. The specific purpose of these provisions is:
(1) To regulate the subdivision and/or development of land within any designated flood plain area in order to promote the general health, welfare and safety of the community;
(2) To require that each subdivision lot in flood-prone areas be provided with a safe building site with adequate access; and that public facilities which serve such uses be designated and installed to preclude flood at the time of initial construction;
(3) To protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuitable for use because of flood, by prohibiting the improper subdivision and/or development of unprotected lands within the designated flood plain area.
(b) Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. These provisions pertain to those areas in the City designated as flood plain areas. However, any other applicable ordinances shall remain in full force and effect to the extent that those provisions are more restrictive.
(c) Municipal Liability. The grant of a permit or approval of a plan for any proposed subdivision and/or land development to be located within any designated flood plain shall not constitute a representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind by the Municipality or by any official or employee thereof of the practicability or safety of the proposed use, and shall create no liability upon the Municipality, its officials or employees.
