|
Floodway Restriction Statement:
|
|---|
|
The developer's engineer will be required to submit
a report to the "Federal Emergency Management Agency" for any development
that alters a floodway. Development shall not begin within a floodway
without an approved plan by FEMA.
|
|
No construction, without the written approval of
the city shall be allowed within an identified "FIRM" floodplain area,
and then only after detailed floodplain development permit including
engineering plans and studies show that no rise in the base flood
elevation (BFE) will result, that no flooding will result, that no
obstruction to the natural flow of water will result; and subject
to all owners of the property affected by such construction becoming
a party to the request. Where construction is permitted, all finished
floor elevations shall be a minimum of one foot above the 100-year
flood elevation.
|
|
The existing creeks, lakes, reservoirs, or drainage
channel traversing along or across portions of this addition, will
remain open at all times and will be maintained by the individual
owners of the lot or lots that are traversed by or adjacent to the
drainage courses along or across such lots. The city will not be responsible
for the maintenance and operation of such drainageways or for the
control of erosion.
|
|
Each property owner shall keep the natural drainage
channels traversing or adjacent to his property clean and free of
debris, silt, or any substance which would result in unsanitary conditions
and the city shall have the right of ingress and egress for the purpose
of inspection and supervision of maintenance work by the property
owner to alleviate any undesirable conditions which may occur. The
natural drainage channel, as in the case of all natural drainage channels,
are subject to storm water overflow and natural bank erosion to an
extent that cannot be definitely defined. The city shall not be liable
for damages of any nature resulting from the occurrence of these natural
phenomena, nor resulting from a failure of any structure within the
natural drainage channels. The natural drainage channel crossing each
lot is shown by the floodway easement line as shown on the plat.
