(a) Permits Required. Permits shall be required for all proposed construction or other development in the village, including the placement of mobile homes, so that it may be determined whether such construction or development is proposed within a flood-prone area.
(b) Review Procedure. The Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall:
(1) Review all proposed developments to assure that all necessary permits have been received from those governmental agencies from which approval is required by federal or state law, including § 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C. 1334, as amended;
(2) Review all permit applications to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements, including the placement of prefabricated buildings and mobile homes, shall:
A. Be designed or modified and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure;
B. Be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage; and
C. Be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
(3) Review all subdivision proposals and other new development proposals to determine whether such subdivision and development of land will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed subdivision or other new development is in a flood-prone area, the proposal shall be reviewed to assure that:
A. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood-prone area;
B. All public utilities and facilities, such as sewerage, gas, electrical and water systems, are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and
C. Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
(4) Require, within flood-prone areas, new and replacement water supply systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems; and
(5) Require, within flood-prone areas:
A. New and replacement sanitary sewerage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters; and
B. On-site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
