(1) Considered as minimum requirements.
(2) Liberally construed in favor of the governing body.
(3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes.
(B) Warning and disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on available information derived from engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Therefore, this chapter does not create any liability on the part of the Town of McCordsville, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, or the State of Indiana, for any flood damage that results from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision made lawfully thereunder.
