§ 1444.15 APPLICATION REQUIRED.
   An application for a floodplain development permit shall be required for all development activities located wholly within, partially within, or in contact with an identified special flood hazard area. The application shall be made by the owner of the property or his or her authorized agent, herein referred to as the applicant, prior to the actual commencement of the construction on a form furnished for that purpose. Where it is unclear whether a development site is in a special flood hazard area, the Floodplain Administrator may require an application for a floodplain development permit to determine the development's location. The applications shall include, but not be limited to:
   (a)   Site plans drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and topography of the area in question; the location of existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities, and the location of the foregoing.
   (b)   Elevation of the existing, natural ground where structures are proposed.
   (c)   Elevation of the lowest floor, including basement, of all proposed structures.
   (d)   Such other material and information as may be requested by the Floodplain Coordinator to determine conformance with, and provide enforcement of these regulations.
   (e)   Technical analyses conducted by the appropriate design professional registered in the state and submitted with an application for a floodplain development permit when applicable:
      (1)   Floodproofing certification for nonresidential floodproofed structure as required in § 1444.29.
      (2)   Certification that fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor of a structure not meeting the design requirements of § 1444.28(e) are designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces.
      (3)   Description of any watercourse alteration or relocation that the flood carrying capacity of the watercourse will not be diminished, and maintenance assurances as required in § 1444.33(c).
      (4)   A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis demonstrating that the cumulative effect of proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood by more than one foot in special flood hazard areas where the Federal Emergency Management Agency has provided base flood elevations but no floodway as required by § 1444.33(b).
      (5)   A hydrologic and hydraulic engineering analysis showing impact of any development on flood heights in an identified floodway as required by § 1444.33(a).
      (6)   Generation of base flood elevation(s) for subdivision and large-scale developments as required by § 1444.27.
   (f)   Payment rendered for associated fees, including but not limited to floodplain development permit applications, site evaluations, subdivision plan/plat review, and building permits, as set by the schedule of applications and permit fees adopted by Pickaway County and other agencies by administrative agreement with the Floodplain Administrator.

§ 1444.16 REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF A FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION.
   (a)   Review.
      (1)   After receipt of a complete application, the Floodplain Administrator shall review the application to ensure that the standards of these regulations have been met. No floodplain development permit application shall be reviewed until all information required in § 1444.15 has been received by the Floodplain Administrator.
      (2)   The Floodplain Administrator shall review all floodplain development permit applications to assure that all necessary permits have been received from those federal, state or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required. The applicant shall be responsible for obtaining the permits as required including permits issued by township, county, municipal, or other local government agencies, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under § 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and § 404 of the Clean Water Act, and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency under § 401 of the Clean Water Act.
   (b)   Approval. Within 30 days after the receipt of a complete application, the Floodplain Administrator shall either approve or disapprove the application. If an application is approved, a floodplain development permit shall be issued. All floodplain development permits shall be conditional upon the commencement of work within one year. A floodplain development permit shall expire one year after issuance unless the permitted activity has been substantially begun and is thereafter pursued to completion.
(Ord. 2010-03, passed 7-21-2010)
§ 1444.17 INSPECTIONS.
   The Floodplain Administrator or an agent designated by administrative agreement shall make periodic inspections at appropriate times throughout the period of construction in order to monitor compliance with permit conditions.
(Ord. 2010-03, passed 7-21-2010)
§ 1444.18 POST-CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATIONS REQUIRED.
   The following as-built certifications are required after a floodplain development permit has been issued:
   (a)   For new or substantially improved residential structures, or nonresidential structures that have been elevated, the applicant shall have a Federal Emergency Management Agency elevation certificate completed by a registered surveyor to record as-built elevation data. For elevated structures in Zone A and Zone AO areas without a base flood elevation, the elevation certificate may be completed by the property owner or owner's representative subject to review and approval by the Floodplain Administrator. For nonresidential structures that have been designed to be floodproofed, the applicant shall have a Federal Emergency Management Agency floodproofing certificate completed by a registered professional architect or professional engineer.
   (b)   For all development activities subject to the standards of § 1444.21(a), a Letter of Map Revision.
(Ord. 2010-03, passed 7-21-2010)
§ 1444.19 REVOKING A FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.
   A floodplain development permit shall be revocable, if among other things, the actual development activity does not conform to the terms of the application and permit granted thereon. In the event of the revocation of a permit, an appeal may be taken to the Variance Board in accordance with §§ 1444.34 through 1444.39 of these regulations.
