A. Permit Required: A floodplain development permit, issued by the building official, must be obtained prior to initiation of any development on a parcel of land within a flood hazard area according to the applicable review and approval procedures contained in chapter 8, article B, "Administrative Approval Procedures", of this title. Issuance of a floodplain development permit does not relieve the property owner from complying with federal, state, or other agency regulations, including approval when required from the Iowa department of natural resources.
B. Compliance: Floodplain development permits based on approved plans and applications authorize only the use, arrangement, and construction set forth in such approved plans and applications. Prior to use or occupancy of any structure, the applicant will be required to submit certification by a professional engineer or land surveyor, registered in the state, that the finished fill, building floor elevations, floodproofing or other flood protection measures were accomplished in compliance with the provisions of this article. Any use, arrangement or construction not in compliance with the uses authorized will be deemed a violation of this article. (Ord. 10-4414, 11-16-2010)
