No person, firm, corporation or governmental body not exempted by State law shall commence any development in a floodway without first obtaining a development permit from the Building Official.
A. Application: Application for a development permit shall be made on a form provided by the Building Official. The application shall include the following information:
1. Applicant: Name and address of applicant.
2. Site: Site location (including legal description) of the property, drawn to scale, on the regulatory floodway map, indicating whether it is proposed to be in an incorporated or unincorporated area.
3. Name Of Stream: Name of stream or body of water affected.
4. Activity: Description of proposed activity.
5. Purpose: Statement of purpose of proposed activity.
6. Dates: Anticipated dates of initiation and completion of activity.
7. Property Owner: Name and mailing address of the owner of the subject property if different from the applicant.
8. Signature Required: Signature of applicant or the applicant's agent.
a. Corporation: If the applicant is a corporation, the president or other authorized officer shall sign the application form;
b. Partnership: If the applicant is a partnership, each partner shall sign the application form; and
c. Land Trust: If the applicant is a land trust, the trust officer shall sign the name of the trustee by him (her) as trust officer. A disclosure affidavit shall be filed with the application, identifying each beneficiary of the trust by name and address and defining the respective interests therein.
9. Activity Plan: Plans of the proposed activity shall be provided which include as a minimum:
a. Vicinity Map: A vicinity map showing the site of the activity, name of the waterway, boundary lines, names of roads in the vicinity of the site, graphic or numerical scale and north arrow.
b. Plan View: A plan view of the project and engineering study reach showing existing and proposed conditions including principal dimensions of the structure or work, elevations in mean sea level (1929 adjustment) datum or NGVD, adjacent property lines and ownership, drainage and flood control easements, location of any channels and any existing or future access roads, distance between proposed activity and navigation channel (when the proposed construction is near a commercially navigable body of water), regulatory floodway limit, flood plain limit, specifications and dimensions of any proposed channel modifications, location and orientation of cross sections, north arrow and a graphic or numerical scale.
c. Cross Section Views: Cross section views of the project and engineering study reach showing existing and proposed conditions including principal dimensions of the work as shown in plan view, existing and proposed elevations, normal water elevation, 10-year frequency flood elevation, 100-year frequency flood elevation and graphic or numerical scales (horizontal and vertical).
d. Soil Erosion And Sedimentation Control Plan: A soil erosion and sedimentation control plan for disturbed areas. This plan shall include a description of the sequence of grading activities and the temporary sediment and erosion control measures to be implemented to mitigate their effects. This plan shall also include a description of final stabilization and revegetation measures and the identification of a responsible party to ensure postconstruction maintenance.
e. Regulatory Floodway Map: A copy of the regulatory floodway map, marked to reflect any proposed change in the regulatory floodway location.
10. Other Permits: Any and all other local, State and Federal permits or approval letters that may be required for this type of development.
11. Engineering Calculations: Engineering calculations and supporting data shall be submitted showing that the proposed work will meet the permit criteria of Section 10-1-6-2 of this Chapter.
12. DWR Approval: If the regulatory floodway delineation, base flood or 100-year frequency flood elevation will change due to the proposed project, the application will not be considered complete until DWR has indicated conditional approval of the regulatory floodway map change. No structures may be built until a letter of map revision has been approved by FEMA.
13. Drawings: The application for a structure shall be accompanied by drawings of the site, drawn to scale showing property line dimensions and existing ground elevations and all changes in grade resulting from any proposed excavation or filling, and flood plain and floodway limits; sealed by a registered professional engineer, licensed architect or registered land surveyor; the location and dimensions of all buildings and additions to buildings; and the elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all proposed buildings subject to the requirements of Section 10-1-8 of this Chapter.
14. Channel Modifications: If the proposed project involves a channel modification, the applicant shall submit the following information:
a. A discussion of the purpose of and need for the proposed work;
b. A discussion of the feasibility of using alternative locations or methods to accomplish the purpose of the proposed work;
c. An analysis of the extent and permanence of the impacts the project would have on the physical and biological conditions of the body of water affected;
d. An analysis of the extent and permanence of the impacts each feasible alternative identified in subsection 10-1-6-2B4a of this Chapter would have on the physical and biological conditions of the body of water affected; and
e. An analysis of the impacts of the proposed project, considering cumulative effects on the physical and biological conditions of the body of water affected.
B. Other Permits: The Building Official shall be responsible for obtaining from the applicant copies of all other local, State and Federal permits and approvals that may be required for this type of activity. The Building Official shall not issue the development permit unless all required Federal and State permits have been obtained. A registered professional engineer under the employ or contract of the Village shall review and approve applications reviewed under this Section. (Ord. 621, 5-15-1995)
