The Township Zoning Officer within the is hereby appointed to
administer and enforce this chapter and is referred to herein as the
Floodplain Administrator.
A floodplain permit shall be required before any construction or development is undertaken within the FCD. A floodplain permit shall not be required, however, for minor repairs to existing buildings or structures. In the case of a proposed hospital, nursing home, jail, prison, or manufactured home park, the floodplain permit referred to here would be the special floodplain permit set forth in Article
VII of this chapter.
A copy of all applications and plans for any proposed construction
or development in the FCD to be considered for approval shall be submitted
by the Floodplain Administrator to the MCCD for review and comment
prior to the issuance of a floodplain permit. The recommendations
of the MCCD shall be considered by the Floodplain Administrator for
possible incorporation into the proposed plan.
A copy of all plans and applications for any proposed construction
or development in the FCD to be considered for approval may be submitted
by the Floodplain Administrator to any other appropriate agencies
and/or individuals (e.g., LPT PC, Township Engineer, etc.) for review
and comment.
After the issuance of a floodplain permit by the Floodplain
Administrator, no changes of any kind shall be made to the application,
permit or any of the plans, specifications, or other documents submitted
with the application without the written consent or approval of the
Floodplain Administrator. Requests for any such change shall be in
writing, and shall be submitted by the applicant to Floodplain Administrator
for consideration.
In addition to the floodplain permit, the Floodplain Administrator
shall issue a placard which shall be displayed on the premises during
the time construction is in progress. This placard shall show the
number of the permit, the date of its issuance, and be signed by the
Floodplain Administrator.
Work on the proposed construction shall begin within 180 days after the date of floodplain permit issuance and shall be completed within 12 months after the date of issuance of the permit; otherwise the permit shall expire unless a time extension is granted, in writing, by the Floodplain Administrator. The term "start of construction" shall be understood as defined in Article
II of this chapter. Time extensions shall be granted only if a written request is submitted by the applicant, which sets forth sufficient and reasonable cause for the Floodplain Administrator to approve such a request and the original permit is compliant with the ordinance and FIRM/FIS in effect at the time the extension is granted.
