Any applicant to whom a variance is granted, which allows the lowest floor of a structure to be built below the flood protection grade, shall be given written notice, over the signature of a community official, that:
(1) The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the flood protection grade will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance, up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage; and
(2) Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Administrator in the Office of the County Recorder, and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.
The Floodplain Administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance.
