§ 21.17. Standards for Subdivision Proposals

(a)

The enforcement official shall review all proposed subdivisions to determine whether the subdivision lies in a SFHA, as defined elsewhere by this article. If the enforcement official finds the subdivision to be so located, the enforcement official shall forward plans and materials to the IDNR for review and comment. The enforcement official shall require appropriate changes and modifications in order to assure that:

(1)

The subdivision proposal is consistent with the need to minimize flood damages;

(2)

All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located and constructed to prevent flood damage;

(3)

Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards;

(4)

On-site waste disposal systems, if provided, will be located and designed to avoid their impairment, and to prevent them from being a source of contamination during the occurrence of the regulatory flood.

(b)

Developers shall record the 100-year flood elevation on all subdivision plats containing lands identified elsewhere by ordinance as within a SFHA prior to submitting the plats for approval by the plan commission.

(c)

All owners of manufactured home parks or subdivisions located within the SFHA identified as zone A on the community's FHBM or FIRM shall develop an evacuation plan for those lots located in zone A and file it with the local plan commission and have it filed and approved by the appropriate community emergency management authorities.
