Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the Building Inspector shall:
(A) Review all building permit applications to determine full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Review all building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding.
(C) Review building permit applications for major repairs within the flood plain area having special flood hazards to determine that the proposed repair uses construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage, and uses construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.
(D) Review building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements within the flood plain area having special flood hazards to assure that the proposed construction, including prefabricated and mobile homes, is protected against flood damage, is designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure, flood damage, and uses construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.
(E) Review all building permit applications involving new construction, substantial improvements or site earthwork for proper drainage to reasonably ensure that storm water runoff will not have a detrimental effect on adjoining, adjacent or other area properties resulting form an increased flow of such runoff. The Building Inspector shall report all findings to the Plan Commission in writing.
