GENERAL PROVISIONS
This chapter applies to all development within the village, including that under the control of any governmental entity, agency, or authority. When the village shall undertake development in the regulatory floodway, or regulatory floodplain where no regulatory floodway has been designated, shall obtain a permit from IDNR/OWR prior to issuance of a stormwater management permit. All units of local government shall obtain stormwater management permits from the village for all development projects within corporate limits of the village.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
(A) This chapter does not apply to:
(1) Development which has been substantially completed before the effective date of the chapter; and
(2) Development, which has been determined to be exempt by the village.
(B) Nonconforming structures shall not be replaced or enlarged in any manner unless such replacement or enlargement conforms to the requirements of this chapter.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
The village's list of exempt developments is included as Appendix D, Table 4. After the effective date, the list may not be changed without review and recommendation by the Committee, which shall be forwarded to the County Board for approval.

(A) This chapter shall be liberally construed to protect the health, welfare, safety, and the environment of the residents of the village and to effectuate the purposes of this chapter and the enabling legislation.
(B) Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to consent to, license, permit to locate, construct, or maintain any structure, site, facility or operation, or to carry on any trade, industry, occupation, or activity.
(C) When provisions of this chapter differ from any other applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, the more stringent provision shall apply.
(D) The provisions of this chapter are cumulative of all other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations which relate to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in this chapter shall be construed as a limitation upon the application or enforcement of any such law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation. To the greatest extent possible, the provisions of this chapter shall be construed to be consistent with the provisions of such other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations, and with each other, to the end that all such provisions may be given their fullest application.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
(A) The degree of flood protection provided by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based upon engineering experience and scientific methods of study. Increased flooding may result from causes beyond the control of any governmental authority. This chapter does not, therefore, guarantee that areas outside the floodplain or permitted land uses within the floodplain will be free from flooding and associated damages.
(B) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed or applied in any manner to create liability on the part of or a cause of action against the county, any municipality or other governmental authority, or any elected official, or any officer, agent, or employee of any of the foregoing, or any certified review specialist for any flood damage resulting from reliance on the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to undertake any development without first securing a stormwater management permit as required by this chapter.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to violate, disobey, omit, neglect and refuse to comply with, or resist enforcement of any provision of this chapter or any condition of a stormwater management permit.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
The several provisions of this chapter shall be severable in accordance with the following rules:
(A) If any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge any provision of this chapter to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect any other provision of this chapter.
(B) If any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge to be invalid the application of any provision of this chapter, to a particular parcel of land, a particular structure, or a particular development, such judgment shall not affect the application of said provision to any other land, structure or development.
(Ord. 06-0383, passed 3-15-06)
This chapter repeals the original ordinance or resolution, which was adopted to meet the National Flood Insurance Program regulations, but is not intended to replace any ordinance or resolution passed in order to establish initial eligibility for the National Flood Insurance Program.
