The identified floodplain area may be revised or modified by
the [Board, Council, etc.] where studies or information provided by a qualified agency
or person documents the need for such revision. However, prior to
any such change to the special flood hazard area, approval must be
obtained from FEMA. Additionally, as soon as practicable, but not
later than six months after the date such information becomes available,
a community shall notify FEMA of the changes to the special flood
hazard area by submitting technical or scientific data.
Should a dispute concerning any identified floodplain boundary
arise, an initial determination shall be made by the Borough of Larksville
Planning Commission and any party aggrieved by this decision or determination
may appeal to the Council. The burden of proof shall be on the appellant.
Prior to development occurring in areas where annexation or
other corporate boundary changes are proposed or have occurred, the
community shall review flood hazard data affecting the lands subject
to boundary changes. The community shall adopt and enforce floodplain
regulations in areas subject to annexation or corporate boundary changes
which meet or exceed those in 44 CFR 60.3.
