§ 153.079 TO REVIEW APPEALS OF PERMIT DENIALS.

   (A)   The Zoning Agency (§ 153.077) or Board shall review all data related to the appeal. This may include:

      (1)   Permit application data listed in § 153.076(B);

      (2)   Floodway/floodfringe determination data in § 153.062(D);

      (3)   Data listed in § 153.060(C)(1)(b) where the applicant has not submitted this information to the Zoning Administrator; and

      (4)   Other data submitted with the application, or submitted to the Board with the appeal.

   (B)   For appeals of all denied permits the Board shall:

      (1)   Follow the procedures of § 153.078;

      (2)   Consider Zoning Agency recommendations; and

      (3)   Either uphold the denial or grant the appeal.

   (C)   For appeals concerning increases in regional flood elevation the Board shall:

      (1)   Uphold the denial where the Board agrees with the data showing an increase in flood elevation. Increases equal to or greater than 0.01 foot may only be allowed after amending the flood profile and map and all appropriate legal arrangements are made with all adversely affected property owners; or

      (2)   Grant the appeal where the Board agrees that the data properly demonstrates that the project does not cause an increase equal to or greater than 0.01 foot, provided no other reasons for denial exist.
