This Chapter shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Troy, Missouri, identified as numbered and unnumbered A zones and AE zones, on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Lincoln County on map panels 29113C0360E, 29113C0378E, 29113C0379E, 2911C0383E and 29113C0387E dated October 5, 2018, and 29113C0238D, 29113C0376D, 29113C0377D, 29113C0381D dated September 29, 2010, as amended, and any future revisions thereto. In all areas covered by this Chapter, no development shall be permitted except through the issuance of a floodplain development permit, granted by the Board of Aldermen or its duly designated representative under such safeguards and restrictions as the Board of Aldermen or the designated representative may reasonably impose for the promotion and maintenance of the general welfare, health of the inhabitants of the community, and as specifically noted in Article V.
[R.O. 2006 §420.060; Ord. No. 871 Art. 2(B), 10-16-2000; Ord. No. 1128 Art. 2(B), 9-20-2010; Ord. No. 1259, 10-1-2018]

No development located within the special flood hazard areas

[R.O. 2006 §420.080; Ord. No. 871 Art. 2(D), 10-16-2000; Ord. No. 1128 Art. 2(D), 9-20-2010]
It is not intended by this Chapter to repeal, abrogate, or impair
any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However,
where this Chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of
this Chapter shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with
this Chapter are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency
only.
[R.O. 2006 §420.090; Ord. No. 871 Art. 2(E), 10-16-2000; Ord. No. 1128 Art. 2(E), 9-20-2010]
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
Chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements, shall be liberally
construed in favor of the Governing Body, and shall not be deemed
a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes.
[R.O. 2006 §420.100; Ord. No. 871 Art. 2(F), 10-16-2000; Ord. No. 1128 Art. 2(F), 9-20-2010]
The degree of flood protection required by this Chapter is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and
scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions
or the flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes,
such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter
does not imply that areas outside the floodway and flood fringe or
land uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or
flood damage. This Chapter shall not create a liability on the part
of the City of Troy, any officer or employee thereof for any flood
damages that may result from reliance on this Chapter or any administrative
decision lawfully made thereunder.
[R.O. 2006 §420.110; Ord. No. 871 Art. 2(G), 10-16-2000; Ord. No. 1128 Art. 2(G), 9-20-2010]
If any Section, clause, provision, or portion of this Chapter
is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction, the remainder of this Chapter shall not be affected
thereby.
