This chapter is intended to be administered and enforced in conjunction with the provisions of the town’s adopted building codes, which contain certain provisions that apply to the design and construction of buildings and structures in flood hazard areas. Unless otherwise specified herein, the term ADOPTED BUILDING CODES refers to the currently adopted versions of the International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Fire Code, International Private Sewage Disposal Code, International Property Maintenance Code and National Electrical Code, together with any local modifications, amendments and adopted appendices. Without amendment, these codes contain provisions sufficient to meet the minimum standards for community participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Every effort has been made to ensure that these codes have been modified to reflect certain higher regulatory standards contained within this chapter. In the event of a conflict between a higher regulatory standard contained within this chapter and a minimum standard provision contained within the town’s adopted building codes, the higher regulatory standard shall be applied.
