community.
B.
Encourage the utilization of appropriate construction
practices to minimize flood damage in the future.
C.
Minimize danger to public health by protecting the water
supply and natural drainage.

[Added 11-13-2001 by Ord. No. 548]
[Amended 2-14-1989 by Ord. No. 435; 11-13-2001
by Ord. No. 548]
A.
Identification. The identified floodplain area shall
be those areas of the Borough of Coopersburg which are subject to the one-hundred-year
flood, as identified in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) dated November 7,
2001, and the accompanying maps prepared for the Borough of Coopersburg by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or the most recent revision
thereof.
B.
Description of floodplain areas. The identified floodplain
area shall consist of the following specific areas:
(1)
FW (Floodway Area). The areas identified as "Floodway"
in the AE Zone in the Flood Insurance Study prepared by the FEMA. The term
shall also include floodway areas which have been identified in other available
studies or sources of information for those floodplain areas where no floodway
has been identified in the Flood Insurance Study.
(2)
FF (Flood-Fringe Area). The remaining portions of the
one-hundred-year floodplain in those areas identified as an AE Zone in the
Flood Insurance Study, where a floodway has been delineated. The basis for
the outermost boundary of this area shall be the one-hundred-year-flood elevations
as shown in the flood profiles contained in the Flood Insurance Study.
(3)
FE (Special Floodplain Area). The areas identified as
Zone AE in the Flood Insurance Study, where one-hundred-year-flood elevations
have been provided, but no floodway has been delineated.
(4)
FA (General Floodplain Area). The areas identified as
Zone A in the FIS for which no one-hundred-year-flood elevations have been
provided. When available, information from other federal, state and other
acceptable sources shall be used to determine the one-hundred-year-flood elevation,
as well as a floodway area, if possible. When no other information is available,
the one-hundred-year elevation shall be determined by using a point on the
boundary of the identified floodplain area which is nearest the construction
site in question.
C.
Changes in identification of area. The identified floodplain
area may be revised or modified by the Borough Council where studies or information
provided by a qualified agency or person documents the need for such revision.
However, prior to any such change, approval must be obtained from the Federal
Insurance Administration (FIA).
D.
Boundary disputes. Should a dispute concerning any identified
floodplain boundary arise, an initial determination shall be made by the Borough
Planning Commission and any party aggrieved by this decision or determination
may appeal to the Borough Council. The burden of proof shall be on the appellant.
A.
The Zoning Officer shall obtain, review, and reasonably
utilize any flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state,
or other source as criteria for requiring within Zone A the following:
(1)
New construction and substantial improvements of any
residential structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated
to or above the base flood elevation.
(2)
New construction and substantial improvements of any
nonresidential structure shall either have the lowest floor, including basement,
elevated to or above the base flood elevation or be floodproofed up to that
height. Any nonresidential structure, or part thereof, having a lowest floor
which is not elevated to at least 1 1/2 feet above the one-hundred-year-flood
elevation, shall be floodproofed in a completely or essentially dry manner
in accordance with the W1 or W2 space classification standards contained in
the publication entitled "Flood-Proofing Regulations" published by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (June 1972), as amended March 1992, or with some other
equivalent standard. All plans and specifications for such floodproofing shall
be accompanied by a statement certified by a registered professional engineer
or architect which states that the proposed design and methods of construction
are in conformance with the above referenced standards.
[Amended11-13-2001 by Ord. No. 548]

basement) is prohibited.
(b)
Partially enclosed space below the lowest floor (including
basement) which will be used solely for the parking of a vehicle, building
access, or incidental storage in an area other than a basement, shall be designed
and constructed to allow for the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters for
the purpose of equalizing hydrostatic forces on exterior walls. The term "partially
enclosed space" also includes crawl spaces.
(c)
Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified
by a registered professional engineer or architect, or meet or exceed the
following minimum criteria:
