approved by the City Council. The plan must be prepared by a registered engineer or other qualified <br />individual, and must demonstrate that adequate time and personnel exist to carry out the evacuation. <br /> (c) For all subdivisions in the floodplain, the floodway and flood fringe district boundaries, the <br />regulatory flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all access roads must be clearly labeled <br />on all required subdivision drawings and platting documents. <br /> (d) In the General Floodplain District, applicants must provide the information required in § <br />1103.07(2) of this chapter to determine the regional flood elevation, the floodway and flood fringe district <br />boundaries and the regulatory flood protection elevation for the subdivision site. <br /> (e) If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development is in a flood prone area, any such <br />proposal must be reviewed to assure that: <br /> 1. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood prone <br />area; <br /> 2. All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located and <br />constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and <br /> 3. Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure of flood hazard. <br /> (3) Building sites. If a proposed building site is in a flood prone area, all new construction and <br />substantial improvements (including the placement of manufactured homes) must be: <br /> (a) Designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent floatation, collapse, or lateral <br />movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of <br />buoyancy; <br /> (b) Constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage; <br /> (c) Constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; and <br /> (d) Constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and <br />other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating <br />within the components during conditions of flooding. <br />(Ord. 10-15, passed 11-23-2015) <br />§ 1103.09 PUBLIC UTILITIES, RAILROADS, ROADS, AND BRIDGES. <br /> (1) Building site. All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, and water supply <br />systems to be located in the floodplain must be floodproofed in accordance with the State Building Code or <br />elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation. <br /> (2) Public transportation facilities. Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges to be located within the <br />floodplain must comply with §§ 1103.05 and 1103.06 of this chapter. These transportation facilities must be <br />elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation where failure or interruption of these facilities would <br />result in danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are essential to the orderly functioning <br />of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or railroads may be constructed at a lower elevation where failure or <br />interruption of transportation services would not endanger the public health or safety. <br /> (3) On-site water supply and sewage treatment systems. Where public utilities are not provided: <br /> (a) On-site water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters <br />into the systems;
