The intent of this Part 1 is to:
A. Promote the general health, welfare and safety of the community.
B. Encourage the utilization of appropriate construction practices to
minimize flood damage in the future.
C. Minimize the danger to public health by protecting the water supply
and natural drainage.
This Part 1 supersedes any provisions currently in effect in
flood-prone areas; provided, however, that any underlying ordinance
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 subdivision plan in the identified flood-prone area(s) shall not constitute
a representation, guaranty or warranty of any kind by the Borough
or by any official or employee of the practicability or safety of
the proposed use and shall create no liability upon the Borough, its
officials or employees.
