The Village of Southampton desires to participate in the Federal Flood
Insurance Program.
[1]
Editor's Note: At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees
on August 1, 1972, the Board, considering that certain areas of the village
along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean were subject to periodic flooding and
that relief was available pursuant to the National Insurance Act of 1968,
resolved to comply with the land use regulations required by said Act. This
chapter constitutes the text of that resolution.
A.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton,
when reviewing applications for building permits, including the plans and
specifications for the proposed construction, shall review all building permit
applications to determine if the proposed construction is consistent with
the need to minimize flood damage.
B.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton
shall review all building permit applications to determine if the site of
the proposed construction is reasonably safe from flooding and to make recommendations
for construction in all locations which have flood hazards.
A.
In reviewing subdivision proposals, the Planning Board
of the Village of Southampton shall assure the following:
(1)
That all such proposals are consistent with the need
to minimize flood damage.
(2)
That all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer,
gas, electrical and water systems, are located, elevated and constructed to
minimize or eliminate flood damage.
(3)
That adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure
to flood hazards.
B.
In determining what improvements are to be provided incident
to a proposed subdivision, the Planning Board of the Village of Southampton
shall require that any water supply systems and/or sanitary sewerage systems
which are required to be furnished by the subdivider be designed so as to
minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges
from the systems into floodwaters, and require on-site waste disposal systems
to be located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them
during flooding.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton and the Planning
Board of the Village of Southampton shall require applicants to furnish such
information in plans and specifications as may be necessary for them to carry
out the foregoing provisions.
The Village of Southampton will recognize and duly evaluate flood hazards
in all official actions relative to land use in the areas having special flood
hazards and will take such other official action as may be reasonably necessary
to carry out the objectives of the program.
A.
The Village of Southampton will delineate or assist the
Federal Insurance Administrator, at his request, in delineating the limits
of the floodplain having special flood hazards on available local maps of
sufficient scale to identify the location of building sites.
B.
The Village of Southampton will provide such information
as the Federal Insurance Administrator may request concerning present uses
and occupancy of the floodplain area.
The Village of Southampton will maintain for public inspection and furnish
upon request, with respect to each area having special flood hazards, information
on elevations (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floors of all
new or substantially improved structures and, where there is a basement, the
distance between the first floor and the bottom of the lowest opening where
water flowing on the ground will enter.
The Village of Southampton will cooperate with federal, state and local
agencies and private firms which undertake to study, survey, map and identify
floodplain areas and will cooperate with neighboring communities with respect
to management of adjoining floodplain areas in order to prevent aggravation
of sting hazards.
A.
The Village Board of the Village of Southampton hereby
empowers the Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton with the responsibility,
authority and means to implement the commitments made herein.
B.
The Village Board of the Village of Southampton
hereby designates the Building Inspector of the Village of Southampton as
the official responsible to submit, on each anniversary date of initial eligibility,
an annual report to the Federal Insurance Administrator on the progress made
during the past year within the Village of Southampton in the development
and implementation of floodplain management measures.
