(1) 

Name and address of applicant.

(2) 

Name and address of owner of land on which proposed construction is to occur.

(3) 

Name and address of contractor.

(4) 

Site location.

(5) 

Proposed lowest floor and basement elevations in relation to NGVD when construction is undertaken within any identified flood-prone area.

(6) 

Brief description of proposed work and estimated cost.

(7) 

A plan of the site showing the exact size and location of the proposed construction as well as any existing buildings or structures.

B. 

If any proposed construction or development is located within, or adjacent to, any identified flood-prone area, applicants for building permits shall also provide the following specific information:

(1) 

A plan which accurately delineates the area which is subject to flooding, the location of the proposed construction, the location of any other flood-prone development or structures, and the location of any existing or proposed stream improvements or protective works. Included shall be all plans for proposed subdivision and land development in order to assure that:

(a) 

All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;

(b) 

All 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.

(2) 

Such plan shall also include existing and proposed contours; information concerning one-hundred-year flood elevations, velocities, and other applicable information such as pressures, impact and uplift forces, associated with the one-hundred-year flood; size of structures, locations and elevations of streets; water supply and sanitary sewage facilities; soil types; and floodproofing measures.

(3) 

A document, certified by a registered professional engineer or architect, which states that the proposed construction has been adequately designed to withstand the one-hundred-year flood elevations, pressures, velocities, impact, and uplift forces and other hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and buoyancy factors associated with the one-hundred-year flood.

C. 

Such statement shall include a description of the type and extent of floodproofing measures which have been incorporated into the design of the structure.
