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 floodplain 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 Lake
Ozark, any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that
may result from reliance on this Chapter or any administrative decision
lawfully made thereunder.

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.
