The Township Code Official within the Township administration
is hereby appointed to administer and enforce this ordinance and is
referred to herein as the Floodplain Administrator.
A zoning permit shall be required before any construction or
development is undertaken within the FP Floodplain Conservation District.
An application for a zoning permit shall be filed with the Township
Code Official, who shall make an initial determination on the proposal.
Prior to the issuance of any zoning permit, the Code Official shall
review such application to determine if all other necessary governmental
permits, such as those required by state and federal laws, have been
obtained, including those required by Act 537, the Pennsylvania Sewage
Facilities Act, the Water Obstruction Act of 1913 and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
of 1972, Section 404, 33 U.S.C. § 1344. No permit shall
be issued until this determination has been made.
After the issuance of a 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.
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or
phrase of this ordinance shall be declared invalid for any reason
whatsoever, such a decision shall not affect the remaining portions
of the chapter, which shall remain in full force and effect, and for
this purpose the provisions of this chapter are hereby declared to
be severable.
