(G) Flood hazards.
(1) Land subject to flooding, and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable for residential development, shall not be platted for residential use or for any other use which may increase the danger to health, life, or property, or aggravate erosion of flood hazards. The land within the subdivision shall be set aside on the plat for the uses as will not be endangered by periodic or occasional inundation contrary to the public welfare. To ensure that lots will be located only where they will provide flood-free house sites, the City Council may require the subdivider to provide elevation and flood profiles sufficient to demonstrate that the house sites will be flood free.
(2) If a stream flows through or adjacent the proposed subdivision, the plat plan shall provide for an easement along the stream for a floodway. The floodway easement shall be wide enough to provide for future enlargement of the stream channel as adjacent areas become more highly developed and run-off rates are increased.
