(a) Flood Liability. The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on acceptable engineering methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Ordinance does not imply that areas outside the flood plain, or that land uses permitted within such areas shall be free from flooding or flood damages.
This Ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages which result from reliance on this Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
(b) Municipal Liability. The grant of a permit or approval of a subdivision and/or land development plan shall not constitute a representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind by the City or by any officials or employee thereof as to the practicability or safety of the proposed use, and shall create no liability upon the City, its officials or employees.
