The Village of Southampton desires to participate in the Federal Flood
Insurance Program.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton and the Planning
Board of the Village of Southampton shall require applicants to furnish such
information in plans and specifications as may be necessary for them to carry
out the foregoing provisions.
The Village of Southampton will recognize and duly evaluate flood hazards
in all official actions relative to land use in the areas having special flood
hazards and will take such other official action as may be reasonably necessary
to carry out the objectives of the program.
The Village of Southampton will maintain for public inspection and furnish
upon request, with respect to each area having special flood hazards, information
on elevations (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floors of all
new or substantially improved structures and, where there is a basement, the
distance between the first floor and the bottom of the lowest opening where
water flowing on the ground will enter.
The Village of Southampton will cooperate with federal, state and local
agencies and private firms which undertake to study, survey, map and identify
floodplain areas and will cooperate with neighboring communities with respect
to management of adjoining floodplain areas in order to prevent aggravation
of sting hazards.
