The Federal Insurance Administrator will review information from an owner or lessee of property who believes his property has been inadvertently included in a special flood hazard area. These procedures shall not apply when there has been any alteration of topography since the effective date of the first FIRM or FHBM showing the property within an area of special flood hazard.
The scientific or technical information submission may include, but is not limited to, the following:
A. An actual copy of the recorded plat map bearing the seal of the appropriate recordation official of the County Clerk or Recorder of Deeds indicating the official recordation and proper citation, deed or plat book volume and page number, or an equivalent identification where annotation of the deed or plat book is not the practice.
B. A topographical map showing:
1. Ground elevation contours in relation to the NGVD.
2. The total area of the property in question.
3. The location of the structure or structures located on the property in question.
4. The elevation of the lowest adjacent grade to a structure or structures.
5. An indication of the curvilinear line which represents the area subject to inundation by a base flood. The curvilinear line should be based upon information provided by an appropriate authoritative source, such as a Federal agency, Department of Water Resources, a County water control district, a County or City Engineer, a Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Study, or a determination by a registered professional engineer.
C. A copy of the FHBM or FIRM indicating the location of the property in question.
D. A certification by a registered professional engineer or licensed land surveyor that the lowest grade adjacent to the structure is above the base flood elevation.
E. The completion of the appropriate forms in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Packet, Amendments and Revisions to the National Flood Insurance Program Maps (TOD-1). (Ord. 99-02, 7-6-1999)
