The degree of flood and erosion protection required by these regulations is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions or the flood height may be increased by manmade or natural causes, such as bridge openings restricted by debris. These regulations do not imply that areas outside the floodplain or erosion hazard area boundaries or land uses permitted within such area will be free from flooding or flood and erosion damages. These regulations shall not create liability on the part of the city or any officer or employee thereof for any flood or erosion damages that may result from reliance on any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
