Any person, owner or authorized agent
who intends to conduct any development in a flood hazard area shall
first make application to the Floodplain Administrator and shall obtain
the required permit. Depending on the nature and extent of proposed

Administrator may determine that a floodplain development permit or
approval is required in addition to a building permit.

The applicant shall file an application
in writing on a form furnished by the Floodplain Administrator. Such
application shall:
a. Identify and describe the development to
be covered by the permit.
b. Describe the land on which the proposed
development is to be conducted by legal description, street address
or similar description that will readily identify and definitively
locate the site.
c. Indicate the use and occupancy for which
the proposed development is intended.
d. Be accompanied by a site plan and construction
documents as specified in § 25-5 of these regulations, grading
and filling plans and other information deemed appropriate by the

including the valuation of ordinary maintenance and minor work.
f. Be signed by the applicant or the applicant's
authorized agent.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
The issuance of a permit under these
regulations or the Uniform Construction Code shall not be construed
to be a permit for, or approval of, any violation of this chapter
or any other ordinance of the jurisdiction. The issuance of a permit
based on submitted documents and information shall not prevent the
Floodplain Administrator from requiring the correction of errors.
The Floodplain Administrator is authorized to prevent occupancy or
use of a structure or site which is in violation of these regulations
or other ordinances of this jurisdiction.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
A permit shall become invalid when
the proposed development is not commenced within 180 days after its
issuance, or when the work authorized is suspended or abandoned for
a period of 180 days after the work commences. Extensions shall be
requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. The Floodplain
Administrator is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions
of time for periods not more than 180 days each.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
The Floodplain Administrator is authorized
to suspend or revoke a permit issued under these regulations wherever
the permit is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect, inaccurate
or incomplete information, or in violation of any ordinance or code
of this jurisdiction.
