(A) The Plan Commission shall review all proposed subdivisions to determine whether the subdivision lies in a flood hazard area as defined elsewhere by ordinance. If the Plan Commission finds the subdivision to be so located, the Plan Commission shall forward plans and materials to the state’s Department of Natural Resources for review and comment. The Plan Commission shall require appropriate changes and modifications in order to assure that:
(1) It is consistent with the need to minimize flood damages;
(2) All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage;
(3) Adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and
(4) Onsite waste disposal systems, if provided, will be so located and designed to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during the occurrence of the regulatory flood.
(B) Developers shall record the 100-year flood elevation on all subdivision plats containing lands identified elsewhere by ordinance as within a flood hazard area prior to submitting the plats for approval by the Plan Commission.
(C) All owners of manufactured home parks or subdivisions located within the SFHA identified as Zone A on the county’s FHBM or FIRM develop an evacuation plan for those lots located in Zone A and file it with the local Plan Commission and have it filed and approved by the appropriate community emergency management authorities.
