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 title and have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower than two feet (2') 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. Floodway/Flood Fringe Determinations In The General Floodplain District: In the general floodplain district, applicants shall provide the information required in subsection 11-101-15B of this chapter to determine the 100-year flood elevation, the floodway and flood fringe district boundaries and the regulatory flood protection elevation for the subdivision site.
C. Removal Of Special Flood Hazard Area Designation: 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 requirements incorporate specific fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multi-structure or multi-lot developments.
D. Easements: Flood storage, flowage and drainage easements shall be dedicated over areas in the floodway below the regulatory flood protection elevation of any water body, watercourse, or wetland or deeded to the city in an outlot in conjunction with the subdivision of land. (Ord. 883, 9-19-2011)
