[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § A, 5-21-2012]
This Chapter shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of the Town of Carrollton, Missouri, identified as numbered and unnumbered A zones and AE zones on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Carroll County, Missouri, on map panels 29033C0220C, 29033C0240C, 29033C0382C, 29033C0385C, 29033C0401C, and 29033C0405C, dated October 2, 2012, as amended, and any future revisions thereto. In all areas covered by this Chapter, no development shall be permitted except through the issuance of a floodplain development permit, granted by the Town Council or its duly designated representative under such safeguards and restrictions as the Town Council or the designated representative may reasonably impose for the promotion and maintenance of the general welfare, health of the inhabitants of the community, and as specifically noted in Article IV.
[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § B, 5-21-2012]
The Planning and Zoning Administrator is hereby designated as
the Floodplain Administrator under this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § C, 5-21-2012]
No development located within the special flood hazard areas
of this community shall be located, extended, converted, or structurally
altered without full compliance with the terms of this Chapter and
other applicable regulations.
[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § D, 5-21-2012]
It is not intended by this Chapter to repeal, abrogate, or impair
any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However,
where this Chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of
this Chapter shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with
this Chapter are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency
only.
[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § E, 5-21-2012]
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
Chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements, shall be liberally
construed in favor of the Governing Body, and shall not be deemed
a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes.
[Ord. No. 60.3(d) Art. 2 § F, 5-21-2012]
The degree of flood protection required by this Chapter is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and
scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions
or the flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes,
such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter
does not imply that areas outside the floodway and flood fringe or
land uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or
flood damage. This Chapter shall not create a liability on the part
of the Town of Carrollton, any officer or employee thereof, for any
flood damages that may result from reliance on this Chapter or any
administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
