[Amended 6-10-2009 by L.L. No. 5-2009]
A. Chapter
60 of the Town Code includes all revisions to the National Flood Insurance Program through September 25, 2009, and shall supersede all previous laws adopted for the purpose of flood damage prevention.
B. In their interpretation and application, the provisions
of this Code chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements, adopted
for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare. Whenever
the requirements of this Code chapter are at variance with the requirements
of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations or local laws, the
most restrictive, or that imposing the higher standards, shall govern.
The invalidity of any section or provision of
this chapter of the Code of the Town of Lloyd shall not invalidate
any other section or provision thereof.
No structure in an area of special flood hazard shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted or altered and no land shall be excavated or filled without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and any other applicable regulations. Any infraction of the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply with any of its requirements, including infractions of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions of the permit, shall constitute a violation. Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined no more than $250 or imprisoned for not more than 15 days, or both. Each day of noncompliance shall be considered a separate offense. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Town of Lloyd from taking such other lawful action as necessary to prevent or remedy an infraction. Any structure found not compliant with the requirements of this chapter for which the developer and/or owner has not applied for and received an approved variance under Article
VI will be declared noncompliant and notification sent to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The degree of flood protection required by this
chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based
on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and
will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made
or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land outside the
area of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas
will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not
create liability on the part of the Town of Lloyd, any officer or
employee thereof, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for
any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any
administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
