If a proposed building site is in a flood prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements (including the placement of manufactured homes) shall be:
(A) Designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent floatation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy;
(B) Constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
(C) Constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; and
(D) Constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
(Ord. 2004-2, passed 7-26-2004)
The responsible person shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new development to determine whether such proposals will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development is in a flood prone area, any such 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 sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and
(C) Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure of flood hazard.
(Ord. 2004-2, passed 7-26-2004)
The responsible person shall require within flood prone areas:
(A) New and replacement sanitary sewage 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 to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
(Ord. 2004-2, passed 7-26-2004)
The city shall not approve any development located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) outside the corporate limits unless such development or plat is in accordance with the following:
(A) A floodplain ordinance legally adopted by the city that meets the minimum federal (44 CFR 60.3), state (Minnesota Regulation Parts 6120.5000 through 6120.6200), and local requirements for development within a Special Flood Hazard Area.
(B) The SFHA's of those parts of unincorporated Hennepin County, Minnesota, that are within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city or that may be annexed into the city are generally identified as such on the Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) dated September 2, 2004, or the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) dated September 2, 2004, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
