The Planning and Zoning staff shall enforce this chapter, and in addition thereto and in furtherance of the authority, they shall:
(A) Issue all zoning clearance permits and keep permanent records thereof;
(B) Conduct such inspections of buildings, structures and uses of land as are necessary to determine compliance with the terms of this chapter;
(C) Maintain permanent and current records of this chapter, including all maps, amendments, special exceptions, variances and conditional uses, and records of hearings thereon;
(D) Provide and maintain a public information bureau relative to all matters arising under this chapter;
(E) Provide interpretation of this chapter when necessary and such technical and clerical assistance as the Board of Zoning Appeals and Plan Commission may require;
(F) Review all proposed development to assure that all necessary permits have been received from those governmental agencies from which approval is required by federal or state law; and
(G) Review all applications for zoning clearance permits for new construction to ascertain whether the proposed construction or addition lies in a flood hazard area as defined by this chapter. If the proposed construction or addition is found to lie in either a floodway or floodplain the Planning staff shall forward all pertinent materials to the I.D.N.R. for appropriate review and action. Upon receiving the proper permit or letter of recommendations from I.D.N.R., the Planning staff may require such modifications to the design as he or she may deem appropriate to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure and minimize potential future flood damages.
