A. Promote the general health, welfare, and safety of the Borough.
B. Encourage the utilization of appropriate construction practices in
order to prevent or minimize flood damage in the future.
C. Minimize danger to public health by protecting water supply and natural
drainage.
D. Reduce financial burdens imposed on the Borough and its residents,
by preventing excessive development in areas subject to flooding.
E. Comply with Federal and State floodplain management requirements.
This chapter supersedes any other conflicting provisions which
may be in effect in identified floodplain areas. However, any and
other Borough ordinances, and ordinance provisions shall remain in
full force and effect to the extent that those provisions are more
restrictive. If there is any conflict between any of the provisions
of this chapter, the more restrictive shall apply.
