§ 151.155 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
   (A)   In order to protect the public's health, safety and general welfare and to become a participant in the regular program of the Federal Flood Insurance Program, the Village Council passed a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Chapter 150 of this Title. The Ordinance and the following will be required by the Commission for new subdivisions.
   (B)   The Commission shall:
      (1)   Restrict or prohibit the subdivision of lands for uses which are dangerous to health, safety, or property in times of flood or which, with reasonably anticipated improvements, will cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
      (2)   Require that each subdivision lot in an area vulnerable to floods be provided with a safe building site with adequate access and that public facilities which serve such uses be installed with protection against flood damage at the time of construction; and
      (3)   Protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood hazards by prohibiting the subdivision of unprotected flood hazard lands, requiring that flood hazard areas be delineated on all plats, and reserving through deed restrictions areas not suitable for development.
