A. The planning director shall review all building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new construction or substantial improvement (including prefabricated and manufactured dwellings) must: 1) be designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure; 2) use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage; and 3) use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage. (Ord. 147, 4-14-2004)
B. The planning commission shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new developments to assure that: 1) all such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; 2) all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems are located, elevated and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and 3) adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
C. The environmental health director shall require new or replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters, and require on site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
