A. Submittal Of Floodplain Development Permit Application.
1. Permits shall be submitted to City Clerk with an application fee
of one hundred dollars ($100.00) which shall cover both the application
fee and the floodplain development fee.
2. Submittal of floodplain development permit application.
a. Permit shall be submitted to the City Clerk on either the floodplain
application checklist form which is on file in the City offices or
a substantially similar document with the following documents:
(1)
Plans and blueprints which must show the following:
(a)
Existing and proposed topographic information, including spot
elevations.
(b)
Boundaries of the floodway and the floodplain.
(c)
Building elevations for all structures showing the level of
the base flood elevation (BFE).
(d)
Proposed obstructions in the floodway.
(e)
Professional registered architect, engineer or land surveyor
seal, if prepared by same.
(f)
Illustration of all proposed development.
(g)
Other considerations:
(ii) Construction materials and methods.
(vi) Elevation of the lowest floor.
(2)
The following technical documents:
(a)
Elevation/floodproofing certificates.
(i)
NFIP elevation certificate; provides a record of the as-built
elevation of the lowest floor.
(ii) NFIP floodproofing certificate; provides a record
of the height of floodproofing.
(b)
Ensure all necessary technical documents are included and property
certified.
(c)
Four (4) conditions that necessitate the filing of certified
documentation:
(i)
Floodway encroachment/"no-rise" certificate. If any or part of the proposed project is to be located in a designated
floodway, the applicant must submit engineering documentation demonstrating
that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in
base flood heights. There is no form or special format for a "no-rise"
certificate. It may be a written statement, supported by hydraulic
computations, signed by a registered professional engineer who certifies
that the development will result in no increase in flood heights.
(ii) Watertight floodproofing. In
the event a non-residential structure is to be floodproofed according
to the NFIP standards, the applicant must submit a statement or floodproofing
certificate from a registered professional engineer or architect certifying
that the design and methods of construction meet these standards.
Note: To receive a flood insurance rate based on 100-year flood protection,
the non-residential structure must be dry-floodproofed to an elevation
at least one (1) foot above the base flood elevation to be rated at
the base flood elevation rate (i.e. one (1) foot of freeboard).

Any additional permits and reviews required by the Building
Inspector or City Engineer.
b. There shall be an application fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00)

compliance with the technical requirements in accordance with the

relative to floodproofing, alternative designs for openings below
lowest floor, and design and methods of construction for breakaways
exceeding SOP loading resistance of twenty (20) pounds per square
foot. The City Engineer shall review and approve or furnish within
thirty (30) days of receipt.
