person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing,
enlarging, altering, repairing, improving, moving or
demolishing any building or structure without first
obtaining a separate building permit for each building or
structure from the COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, and
WHEREAS, The COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR must
examine all plans and specifications for the proposed
construction when application is made to him for a
building permit.

anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral
movement of the structure, and
(ii) Use construction materials and
utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage, and
(iii) Use construction methods and
practices that will minimize flood damage; and
2. That the (COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR)
shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new
developments to assure that
(i) All such proposals are consistent
with the need to minimize flood damage
(ii) 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
(iii) Adequate drainage is provided so
as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and
3. That the (COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR)
shall require new or replacement water supply systems
and/or sanitary sewage systems and discharges from the
systems into flood waters, and require on—site waste
disposal systems to be located so as to avoid impairment
of them or contamination from them during flooding.
Date Passed: December 9, 1974.
