In addition to completion of this form the applicant agrees to submit any additional information required by the floodplain
administrator in order to determine that the proposed development is compliant with the local and federal flood damage
prevention criteria of the National Flood Insurance Program. Site plans for all development proposals must:
Be drawn to scale with north arrow.
Show property boundaries, floodway, and floodplain lines.
Show dimensions of the lot.
Show dimensions and location of existing and/or proposed development on the site.
Show areas to be cut and filled.
Applications for residential and non-residential structures must also include:
The proposed lowest floor elevation based on the datum used on the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and
base flood elevation for the site.
Identification of whether the structure has a basement or enclosure below the lowest floor, and if it contains a
basement or enclosure, detailed drawings showing foundation openings to allow passage of floodwaters.
Description of how building utilities will be protected from flood waters including drawings showing locations of
such utilities.
Detailed description of anchoring system for all mobile and manufactured homes.
Description of construction materials that will be used below the flood protection elevation.
An existing structure must comply with the flood protection standards if it is substantially improved (an improvement
equal to or greater than 50% of the market value of the structure). The "substantial improvement" definition applies to
existing structures only and that once a structure meets the definition of "new construction" any further improvements to
that structure must meet "new construction" requirements. For floodplain management purposes "new construction"
means structures for which "start of construction" began on or after the effective date of the initial Flood Insurance Rate
Map issued by FEMA for the community.
Any Pre-FIRM structure within the FHA that has sustained damage from any source (flood, fire, etc…) must be
evaluated to determine if the structure is “substantially damaged” (damaged to 50% or more of the market value of the
structure). If the structure is “substantially damaged, the structure must be brought into compliance with the flood
protection standards.
For subdivision proposals greater than 5 acres or 50 lots, or large-scale developments greater than 5 acres, a
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis must be conducted to determine base flood elevations in flood hazard areas where
no base flood elevations are provided.
A Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) must be obtained for proposed projects that would result in more than a
1.0 foot increase in BFE on a watercourse that has been studied through detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
where BFEs have been specified, but no floodway has been designated OR when a project proposed (totally or
partially within the floodway) along a waterocurse for which detailed analyses have been conducted and BFEs and a
floodway have been designated would result in any (greater than 0.0 foot) increase in the BFE.
Applications for non-residential structures proposed to be floodproofed must have a completed FEMA floodproofing
certification form attached (can only be completed by a Registered Professional Engineer or Architect).
All development proposals determined to be located in a floodway must be accompanied by a hydrologic and hydraulic
analysis showing impacts on of the development on flood heights (can only be completed by a Registered Professional
Engineer).
Development proposals that are considered alterations of a watercourse must be accompanied by an analysis showing
that the flood carrying capacity of the watercourse has not been reduced.
I AGREE THAT ALL STATEMENTS IN AND ATTACHMENTS TO THIS APPLICATION ARE A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF THE
EXISTING PROPERTY AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY. I UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA ACTIVITIES PER THE APPROPRIATE ORDINANCE OR
RESOLUTION AND AGREE TO ABIDE THERETO. I UNDERSTAND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN ALL OTHER
APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL PERMITS.
