The specific purposes of these provisions are
to:
A. Regulate the subdivision and/or development of land
within any designated floodplain district in order to promote the
general health, welfare and safety of the community.
B. Require that each subdivision lot in flood-prone areas
be provided with a safe building site with adequate access and that
public facilities which serve such uses be designed and installed
to preclude flooding at the time of initial construction.
C. Protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuitable
for use because of flooding by prohibiting the improper subdivision
and/or development of unprotected lands within the designated floodplain
districts.
This article supersedes any ordinances currently
in effect in flood areas. However, any other applicable ordinances
shall remain in full force and effect to the extent that those provisions
are more restrictive.
The grant of a permit or approval of a plan
for any proposed subdivision and/or land development to be located
within any designated floodplain district shall not constitute a representation,
guaranty or warranty of any kind by the Municipality or by any official
or employee thereof of the practicability or safety of the proposed
use and shall create no liability upon the Municipality, its officials
or employees.
