All buildings and structures shall be firmly
anchored in accordance with accepted engineering practices to prevent
flotation, collapse or lateral movement.
(b)
All air ducts, large pipes, storage tanks and
other similar objects or components located within or below the regulatory

event that floodwater or stormwater infiltration occurs to same.
I. Mobile homes or modular homes and/or manufactured
homes as the latter are defined for particular application of this
section may be located in a floodplain or flood-prone area, provided
that all such mobile homes, modular homes or manufactured homes and
any additions thereto shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse
or lateral movement by providing over-the-top and frame ties to ground
anchors in accordance with the American National Standards Institute

in Flood Hazard Areas, as published September 1985, or any subsequent
publication revision thereto, or other appropriate standards such
as the following:
(1) Over-the-top ties shall be at each of the four corners
of the mobile home or modular home, with two additional such ties
per side at intermediate locations for units less than 50 feet in
length and four additional ties per side for units more than 50 feet

shall be applicable as to any placement of a mobile home, modular
home and/or manufactured home after the effective date of this chapter,
including placement on a site where such type of structure had been
previously placed but removed from such site. An evacuation plan for
a mobile home park, indicating alternate vehicular access and escape
routes to same in the event of flooding, shall be filed at the Borough
Office by the owner and/or operator of the mobile home park.
(9) All mobile homes shall be placed on a permanent foundation.
No hospitals, nursing homes, jails or prisons

of the Local Agency Law, and will proceed accordingly depending on whether the
denial was initially by the Borough or, after the Borough's preliminary
approval, by and pursuant to decision of said Pennsylvania Department

If compliance with any requirements of this
section of this chapter would result in an exceptional hardship to
a prospective builder, developer or landowner, the Borough of Monaca,
upon request by the applicant for a floodplain permit or special floodplain
permit, may grant relief from the strict application of said requirements
in the form of a variance. In the event that an applicant desires
to seek a variance, such request for a variance shall be included
with the required application for such floodplain permit or special
floodplain permit with specific data and information of the exact
nature of the variance or variances from such requirements and the
reasons therefor.
A. Such request for a variance shall be accompanied by a certification of a registered professional engineer or architect that, if such variance or variances from the requirements of this section of this chapter would be granted, any development, activity or use conducted thereby would not be contrary or adverse to Subsection
B of this section.
B. No variance will be granted that shall:
(1) Cause an increase in the one-hundred-year-flood elevation
or other flood heights.
(2) Reduce the ability of any building or structure to
resist the effects of an occurrence of a one-hundred-year flood.
(3) Increase risks to or create a potentially harmful
or hazardous situation for the safety of life or property.
(4) Cause or result in the possibility of an increase
in premium rates for flood insurance as to any other person's or entity's
lands, buildings, structures or other improvements.
(5) Create a nuisance, cause fraud or victimize the public.
(6) No variance shall be granted for any use or activity prohibited by §
245-56 of this chapter or, except for a modification of the one-and-one-half-foot freeboard requirement specified in §
245-55 of this chapter, for any of the other requirements of §
245-55.
(7) Cause a conflict with or create a violation of any
other applicable law or regulation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
the United States of America or any ordinance or regulation of the
Borough of Monaca.
C. A variance will only be granted if there is good and
sufficient cause and the failure to do so would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant and, if granted, shall involve only the
least modification necessary to provide relief. If a variance is granted,
the Borough may attach any conditions that it deems reasonable to
provide safeguards necessary to protect the public health, safety
and welfare of life and property and to achieve the objectives of
this chapter.
D. If a variance is granted:
(1) The applicant shall be notified by the Borough, in
writing, that such variance may result in increased premium rates
for flood insurance as to the applicants subject site as to which
the variance was granted.
(2) The Borough shall keep and maintain complete records
of any variance granted and shall report same to the Federal Insurance
Administration or such other agency or bureau of the United States
