(A) Application Requirements. Application for a floodplain development permit shall be made to the Floodplain Administrator prior to any development activities located within special flood hazard areas. The following items shall be presented to the Floodplain Administrator to apply for a floodplain development permit:
(1) A plot plan drawn to scale which shall include, but shall not be limited to the following specific details of the proposed floodplain development;
(2) The nature, location, dimensions and elevations of the area of development/disturbance; existing and proposed structures, utility systems, grading pavement areas, materials, storage areas, drainage facilities and other development;
(3) The boundary of the special flood hazard area as delineated on the FIRM or other flood map as determined in § 154.07 or a statement that the entire lot is within the special flood hazard area;
(4) Food zone(s) designation of the proposed development area as determined on the FIRM or other flood map as determined in § 154.07;
(5) The boundary of the floodway(s) or non-encroachment area(s) as determined in § 154.07;
(7) The old and new location of any watercourse that will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.
(B) Proposed elevation and method. Proposed elevation and method thereof of all development within a special flood hazard area including but not limited to:
(1) Elevation in relation to mean sea level of the proposed referents level (including basement) of all structures;
(2) Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any non-residential structure in Zone AE, A or AO will be floodproofed; and
(3) Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any proposed utility systems will be elevated or floodproofed.
(C) Floodproofing. If floodproofing, a floodproofing certificate (FEMA Form 81-65) along with detailed back-up computations and operational plans that specify the location on a FIRM panel of foodproofing measures, the entity responsible for transportation and installation according to the design within the warning time available and maintenance of floodproofing measures assuring their effectiveness when installed. Floodproofing certificate and back-up computations and operational plans shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect to ensure that the non-residential floodproofed development will meet the floodproofing criteria in § 154.41.
(D) Foundation plan. A foundation plan drawn to scale which shall include details of the proposed foundation system to ensure all provisions of this chapter are met. These details include but are not limited to:
(1) The proposed method of elevation, if applicable (i.e., fill, solid foundation perimeter wall, solid backfilled foundation, open foundation on columns, posts/piers/piles/shear walls);
(2) Openings to facilitate equalization of hydrostatic flood forces on walls in accordance with § 154.41when solid foundation perimeter walls are used in Zones A, AO, AE and A1-30;
(3) Usage details of any enclosed areas below the regulatory flood protection elevation;
(4) Plans and/or details for the protection of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems to be located and constructed to minimize flood damage;
(5) Copies of all other local, state and federal permits required prior to floodplain development permit issuance (wetlands, endangered species, erosion and sedimentation control, riparian buffers, mining and the like);
(6) Documentation for placement of recreational vehicles and/or temporary structures, when applicable, to ensure § 154.41 of this chapter are met; and
(7) A description of proposed watercourse alteration or relocation, when applicable. Including an engineering report on the effects of the proposed project or the flood-carrying capacity of the watercourse and the effects to properties located both upstream and downstream; and a map (if not shown on plot plan) showing the location of the proposed watercourse alteration or relocation.
