The Planning Commission will scrutinize proposed subdivisions which are located in flood prone areas, such as, but not limited to:
(A) Floodplain areas which are identified on the flood insurance rate maps. A floodplain development permit is required to develop within floodplain limits, and development may be prohibited in some areas;
(B) Areas located in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flowage easement. The developer must provide a letter of review and comment from the Army Corps which explains their position on the proposed subdivision; and
(C) Flood prone areas outside the FIRM regulatory areas will be reviewed based on local engineering studies or approval of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. If the subdivision is located in an area having poor drainage or other adverse physical characteristics, the Commission may approve the subdivision; provided the developer agrees to perform such improvements as will render the area safe for the intended use. In lieu of the improvements, the developer shall furnish a surety bond or certified check covering the cost of the required improvements, subject, however, to the approval of the Village Engineer and such other authorities as the Engineer may designate.
