FLOODPROOFING REGULATIONS, SECTION 205.1

FPR section 205.1 is amended to read as follows: Statement of Intention to Improve: The owner or any registered architect or licensed professional engineer authorized to represent the owner shall, before preparing final plans for any improvement in the flood hazard area(s), file with the building official a statement of intention to improve, including a brief description of the type of improvement being considered and giving its precise location, on a form provided by the building official. The building official shall note on two copies the elevation of the RFD at the location of the proposed improvement. One copy of the statement of intention to improve must be retained by the building official until a permit copy for improvement on the site is approved or one year has elapsed; a second copy must be returned to the owner for use in final siting and design of the improvement. Assignments of the RFD elevations at all locations must be consistent with the determination of the regulatory flood protection elevation as defined in the community's flood plain zoning controls, if any. This information must be open to public examination at all reasonable times.
