The Village Board of the Village of Woodbury
hereby:
A.
Assures the Federal Insurance Administration that
it will enact as necessary and maintain in force for those areas having
flood or mudslide hazards adequate land use and control measures with
effective enforcement provisions consistent with the criteria set
forth in Section 1910 of the National Flood Insurance Program Regulations.
B.
Vests the Code Enforcement Officer and
Village Engineer with the responsibility, authority and means to:
(1)
Delineate or assist the Code Enforcement Officer,
at his request, in delineating the limits of the areas having special
flood and/or mudslide hazards on available local maps of sufficient
scale to identify the location of building sites.
(2)
Provide such information as the Code Enforcement Officer
may request concerning present uses and occupancy of the floodplain
and/or mudslide area.
(3)
Cooperate with federal, state and local agencies and
private firms which undertake to study, survey, map and identify floodplain
or mudslide areas and cooperate with neighboring communities with
respect to management of adjoining floodplain and/or mudslide areas
in order to prevent aggravation of existing hazards.
(4)
Submit on the anniversary date of the community's
initial eligibility an annual report to the Code Enforcement Officer
on the progress made during the past year within the community in
the development and implementation of floodplain and/or mudslide area
management measures.

Engineer to maintain for public inspection and to furnish upon request
a record of elevations, in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest

located in the special flood hazard areas. If the lowest floor is
below grade on one or more sides, the elevation of the floor immediately
above must also be recorded.

reasonably necessary to carry out the objectives of the program.
[Adopted 8-12-2008 by L.L. No. 6-2008]
The Code Enforcement Officer and Village Engineer
shall review all building permit applications for new construction
or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building
sites shall be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building
site is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new construction
or substantial improvement, including prefabricated and mobile homes,
must:
The Code Enforcement Officer and Village Engineer
shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new developments
to assure that:
A.
All such proposals are consistent with the need to
minimize flood damage.
B.
All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer,
gas, electrical and water systems, are located, elevated and constructed
to minimize or eliminate flood damage.
C.
Adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure
to flood hazards.
The Code Enforcement Officer and Village Engineer
shall require new or replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary
sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration
of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into
floodwaters and shall require on-site waste disposal systems to be
located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them
during flooding.
