The Local Flood Plain Administrator shall process permit applications and will not issue the flood plain development permit until the following has been accomplished:
A. Review all applications for completeness, particularly with the requirements of Section 10-1-13 of this Chapter, and for compliance with the provisions and standards of this Chapter.
B. Review all subdivision and other proposed new development, including manufactured home and recreational parks to determine whether the proposed development site will be reasonably safe from flooding. When the proposed building site is located in the special flood hazard area, all new construction and substantial improvements will meet the applicable standards of Sections 10-1-23 through 10-1-36 of this Chapter.
C. Determine whether any proposed development in the special flood hazard area may result in physical damage to any other property to include stream bank erosion and any increase in velocities or that it does not adversely affect the carrying capacity of the areas where base flood elevations have been determined but a floodway has not been designated. For purposes of this Chapter, "adversely affects" means the cumulative effect of the proposed development when combined with all other existing and anticipated development will increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot (1') at any point. To assist the Local Flood Plain Administrator in making this determination, the permit applicant may be required to submit additional technical analysis.
D. Ensure all other required State and Federal permits have been received. (Ord. 99-02, 7-6-1999)
