fLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION
~ The site IS reasonably safe from
flooding. and
d. The proposed development does not
adversely affect the flood-carrying
capacity and/or flood-storage
capacity of the areas of special flood
hazard. For the purposes of this
article. "adversely affect" means
damage to adiacent properties
because of rises in flood stages
attributed to physical changes of the
channel and the adiacent overbank
areas. Without limiting the
foregoing, a development is
presumed to adversely affect the
flood-carrying and flood-storage
capacities of the flood plain if it
proposes or requires the filling of
land in an area of special flood
hazard without simultaneously
providing additional flood-carrying
and flood-storage capacities to
compensate for that capacity which
is lost because of such filling.
(2)
Interpretation of FIRM boundaries.
Make interpretations where needed, as to
the exact location of the boundaries of
the areas of special flood hazards (for
example, where there appears to be a
conflict between a mapped boundary and
actual field conditions). Any person
contesting the location of the boundary
shall be given a reasonable opportunity
to appeal the interpretation as provided in
section 8-34.
(3)
Use of other base flood data. To
supplemcnt the basc flood elevation data
provided in accordance with section 8-5,
the floodplain eftfHHg~flff-B~
administrator shall obtain, revicw, and
reasonably utilize any base flood
elevation and floodway data available

requirements of section 8-52(1), specific
standards, residential construction, and
section 8-52(2).
(4)
Issuance of permit and record keeping.
After ascertaining that all requirements of
this chapter have been met, the floodplain
damage oontrol administrator may issue
the development permit. After issuance of
the permit, the local administrator shall:
a. Acquire a flood elevation or
floodproofing certificate after the
lowest floor is completed. Within
twenty-one (21) calendar days of
establishment of the lowest floor
elevation or floodproofing by
whatever construction means, it shall
be the duty of the permit holder to
submit to the city manager a
certification of the elevation of the
lowest floor or floodproofed
elevation, as built, in relation to mean
sea level. Such certification shall be
prepared by or under the direct
supervision of a registered land
surveyor or professional engineer and
certified by same. When
flood proofing is utilized for a
particular building, such certification
shall be prepared by or under the
direct supervision of a professional
engineer or architect and certified by
same. Any work done within the
twenty-one-day calendar period and
prior to submission of the certification
shall be at the permit holder's risk.
Thc city manager or designated
subordinate shall review the flood

The local administrator shall:
a. Notify adjacent communities, the St.
Johns River Water Management
District. and the state department of
community affairs prior to any
alteration or relocation of a
watercourse, and submit evidence of
such notification to the Federal
Insurance Administration.
b. Require that maintenance is
provided within the altered or

watercourse so that the flood
carrying capacity is not diminished.
(6) Take remedial action on any violations of
this chapter.

improvements shall be allowed within
areas of special flood hazard until the
