[Amended 2-2-2010 by Ord. No. 10-01]
The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for Uinta County, Wyoming and incorporated Areas," dated February 17, 2010, with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps and any revisions thereto, are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this Part 8.
No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this Part 8 and other applicable regulations.
This Part 8 is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Part 8 and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
In the interpretation of this Part 8, all provisions shall be:
A. 
Considered as minimum requirements;
B. 
Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and
C. 
Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes.
The degree of flood protection required by this Part 8 is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This Part 8 does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Part 8 shall not create liability on the part of the City, any officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Part 8 or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
