<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Planners,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For communities with a flood ordinance or bylaw that requires the following from the State Floodplain Office’s model bylaw, I am curious how you administer it. The city doesn’t administer, enforce, or determine applicability of state and
federal permits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Assure that all necessary permits are obtained: <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The town’s permit review process includes the requirement that the proponent obtain all local, state and federal permits that will be necessary in order to carry out the proposed development in the floodplain overlay district. The proponent
must acquire all necessary permits, and must demonstrate that all necessary permits have been acquired.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I am at it, I’m also interested to know how you determine what activities are subject based on the highlighted parts of this other paragraph from the model:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The Town/City of _______ requires a permit for all proposed construction or other development in the floodplain overlay district, including new construction
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">or changes to existing buildings</span>, placement of manufactured homes, placement of agricultural facilities, fences, sheds, storage facilities or drilling, mining, paving and
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">any other development that might increase flooding or adversely impact flood risks to other properties.</span><o:p></o:p></i></p>
