The fees to be paid for a development permit shall be as set forth on the Village of Dryden Fee Schedule, which Fee Schedule may be established by resolution and thereafter amended from time to time by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees; and in addition thereto, the applicant shall be responsible for the payment of all engineering, surveying and other professional expenses incurred by the Village in determining and/or verifying that the issuance of any permit requested will not result in the violation of the provisions of Chapter 159, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Code of the Village of Dryden.
The following information is required where applicable:
A.
Elevation in relation to mean sea level of the proposed lowest floor
(including basement or cellar) of all structures;
B.
Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any nonresidential
structure will be floodproofed;

Certificate from a licensed professional engineer or architect that the nonresidential floodproofed structure will meet the floodproofing criteria in § 159-30; and

or floodproofed elevation, in relation to mean sea level. The elevation
certificate shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of
a licensed land survivor or professional engineer and certified by
same. When floodproofing is utilized for a particular building, the
floodproofing certificate shall be prepared by or under the direct
supervision of a licensed professional engineer or architect and certified

the purposes of this section, "adversely affects" means physical damage
to adjacent properties. An engineering study may be required of the

Provisions, Art. III)]
B.
Require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated
portion of said watercourse so that the flood-carrying capacity is
not diminished.
A.
The Local Administrator shall have the authority to make interpretations
when there appears to be a conflict between the limits of the federally
identified area of special flood hazard and actual field conditions.
C.
The Local Administrator shall use flood information from any other
authoritative source, including historical data, to establish the
limits of the area of special flood hazards when base flood elevations
are not available.

The Local Administrator and/or the developer's engineer or architect
shall make periodic inspections at appropriate times throughout the
period of construction in order to monitor compliance with permit
conditions and enable said inspector to certify that the development
is in compliance with the requirements of either the development permit
or the approved variance.
A.
It shall be unlawful to use or occupy or to permit the use or occupancy
of any building or premises, or both, or part thereof hereafter created,
erected, changed, converted or wholly or partly altered or enlarged
in its use or structure until a certificate of compliance has been
