A.
The site plan or construction documents for any development subject
to the requirements of this chapter shall be drawn to scale and shall
include, as applicable to the proposed development:
(1)
Delineation of flood hazard areas, flood zone(s), base flood elevation(s),
and ground elevationsm, if necessary for review of the proposed development.
(2)
Location of the proposed activity and proposed structures, and locations
of existing buildings and structures; in coastal high-hazard areas,
new buildings shall be located landward of the reach of mean high
tide.
(3)
Location, extent, amount, and proposed final grades of any filling,
grading, or excavation.
(4)
Where the placement of fill is proposed, the amount, type, and source
of fill material; compaction specifications; a description of the
intended purpose of the fill areas; and evidence that the proposed
fill areas are the minimum necessary to achieve the intended purpose.
(5)
Extent of any proposed alteration of sand dunes or mangrove stands,
provided such alteration is approved by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
(6)
Existing and proposed alignment of any proposed alteration of a watercourse.
B.
The Floodplain Administrator is authorized to waive the submission
of site plans, construction documents, and other data that are required
by this chapter but that are not required to be prepared by a registered
design professional if it is found that the nature of the proposed
development is such that the review of such submissions is not necessary
to ascertain compliance with this chapter.
For activities that propose to alter sand dunes or mangrove
stands in coastal high-hazard areas (Zone V), the applicant shall
submit an engineering analysis that demonstrates that the proposed
alteration will not increase the potential for flood damage.
When additional hydrologic, hydraulic or other engineering data,
studies, and additional analyses are submitted to support an application,
the applicant has the right to seek a letter of map change from FEMA
to change the base flood elevations, change floodway boundaries, or
change boundaries of flood hazard areas shown on FIRMs, and to submit
such data to FEMA for such purposes. The analyses shall be prepared
by a Florida licensed engineer in a format required by FEMA. Submittal
requirements and processing fees shall be the responsibility of the
applicant.
