"Flood" or "flooding" also means the collapse or subsidence
of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result
of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding
anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high
water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm,
or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as a flash flood or an
abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable
event which results in flooding as defined in (1) above.
|
Permanent construction does not include land preparation (such
as clearing, excavation, grading, or filling), or the installation
of streets or walkways, or excavation for a basement, footings, piers
or foundations, or the erection of temporary forms, or the installation
of accessory buildings such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling
units or not part of the main building. For a substantial improvement,
the actual "start of construction" means the first alteration of any
wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether
or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
|

application to include measures that mitigate or eliminate the adverse
effects and re-submit the application.
|
Openings may be equipped with louvers, valves, screens or other
coverings or devices provided they permit the automatic entry and
