Areas regulated by this chapter include all lands within the corporate limits of the Village of Tigerton, Wisconsin, that would be inundated by the regional flood defined in §
548-36, Definitions, of this chapter.
Compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall not be grounds for removing lands from the floodplain district, unless they are removed by filling to a height of at least two feet above the regional flood elevation, the fill is contiguous to land lying outside the floodplain district, and the map is amended pursuant to Article
VIII. To remove the land from flood insurance requirements, FEMA must first revise the Flood Insurance Rate Map.
The use or development of any land or water, a change in the
use of any land or water, and the use, change of use, construction,
reconstruction, remodeling or expansion of any structure within the
areas to be regulated by this chapter shall be in compliance with
the terms of this chapter and other applicable local, state and federal
regulations.
The degree of flood protection intended to be provided 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 height may be increased by man-made
or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted
by debris. This chapter does not imply that areas outside of the delineated
floodplain or permitted land uses within the floodplain will be totally
free from flooding and associated flood damages, nor shall this chapter
create a liability on the part of or a cause of action against the
Village of Tigerton or any officer or employee thereof for any flood
damage that may result from reliance on this chapter.
