This Board of Selectmen hereby:
A. Assures the Federal Insurance Administration that
it will enact, as necessary, and maintain in force for those areas
having flood or mudslide hazards, adequate land use and control measures
with effective endorsement provisions consistent with the criteria
set forth in Section 1910 of the National Flood Insurance Program
Regulations; and
B. Vests the Town Plan and Zoning Commission with the
responsibility, authority, and means to:
(1) Delineate or assist the Administrator, at his request,
in delineating the limits of the areas having special flood (and/or
mudslide) hazards on available local maps of sufficient scale to identify
the location of building sites.
(2) Provide such information as the Administrator may
request concerning present uses and occupancy of the floodplain (and/or
mudslide area).
(3) Cooperate with federal, state, and local agencies
and private firms which undertake to study, survey, map and identify
floodplain or mudslide areas, and cooperate with neighboring communities
with respect to management of adjoining floodplain and/or mudslide
areas in order to prevent aggravation of existing hazards.
(4) Submit on the anniversary date of the community's
initial eligibility an annual report to the Administrator on the progress
made during the past year within the community in the development
and implementation of floodplain (and/or mudslide area) management
measures.
C. Appoints the Building Official to maintain for public
inspection and to furnish upon request a record of elevations (in
relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement)
of all new or substantially improved structures located in the special
flood hazard areas. If the lowest floor is below grade on one or more
sides, the elevation of the floor immediately above must also be recorded.
D. Agrees to take such other official action as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the objectives of the program.
