(D) Floodplain revisions. At the time of preliminary plat submittal, the applicant shall provide a copy of the letter of map change request as submitted to the Flood Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If there is no floodplain on the subject property, this requirement may be waived if not applicable. The city may refuse to accept a preliminary plat without this letter and may also refuse to accept a preliminary plat where a floodplain may exist and the Floodplain Administrator has made a written determination that a letter of map change is required. All floodplain revisions shall comply with § 151.47.
