(A) Review criteria. No land shall be subdivided which is unsuitable for the reason of Flooding, inadequate drainage, water supply or sewage treatment facilities. All lots within the Floodplain districts shall be able to contain a building site outside of the Floodway District at or above the regulatory Flood protection elevation. All subdivisions shall have water and sewage treatment facilities that comply with the provisions of this chapter and have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower than two feet below the regulatory Flood protection elevation. For all subdivisions in the Floodplain, the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries, the regulatory Flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all access roads shall be clearly labeled on all required subdivision drawings and platting documents.
(B) Removal of Special Flood Hazard Area designation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established criteria for removing the special Flood hazard area designation for certain Structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-year Flood elevation. FEMA's requirements incorporate specific fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multi-Structure or multi-lot developments. These standards should be investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a change of special Flood hazard area designation will be requested.
