struction or substantial improvement (including prefabricated and mobile homes)
must (i) be designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse,
or lateral movement of the structure, (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 City Engineer 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 con-
structed to minimize or eliminate flood damage, and (iii) adequate drainage is
provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and
3. That the City Engineer shall require new or replacement water supply
systems and/or sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate
infiltration of flood waters into the 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.
