RESOLUTION NO.129
WHEREAS, the City of Winter springs, has adopted and
is enforcing the Southern Standard Building Code under chapter
5 of the code of ordinances of said city, and
WHEREAS, Section 5-24 of the aforesaid prohibits any
person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing,
enlarging, altering, repairing, improving, moving or demolishing
any building permit for each building or structure from the
building inspector.
WHEREAS, the building inspector must examine all plans
and specifications for the proposed construction when applica-
tion is made to him for a building permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Winter Springs as follows:
1. That the building inspector shall review all
building permit applications for new construction or substantial
improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will
be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site
is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed now
construction or substantial improvement (including profabricated
and mobile homes) must (a) be designed (or modified) and
anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of
the structure, (b) use construction materials and utility
equipment that are resistant to flood damage, and (c) use
construction methods and practices that will minimize flood
damage, and
2. That the City 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, and (c) adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce
exposure to flood hazards; and
3. That the City Engineer shall require new or
replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary sewage
systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration
of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the
systems into flood water's, and require on-site waste disposal
systems to be located so as to avoid impairment of them or
contamination from them during flooding.
