  Floodplain checklist

  • Floodplain note on the cover page with correct FEMA FIRM Panel number and revision letter (suffix), as well as correct effective date
  • Lowest Finished Floor Elevation (FFE) on all proposed structures in relation to Mean Sea Level (MSL) (regardless of whether or not proposed structure is in the floodplain) (see Building Criteria Manual Ch. 58, Art. 8, C. 1. A.)
  • Fully developed 100-year floodplain is clearly delineated
  • Drainage easement wide enough to contain the fully developed 100-year floodplain delineated above, along with note indicating Drainage Easement Document Number (see Drainage Criteria Manual 25-7-152)
  • No development proposed in the drainage easement
  • Do the topographic lines indicate a defined channel on or near the site? If so, have they dedicated an easement (with easement document note) for this channel if the drainage area is less than 64 acres? If the drainage study is greater than 64 acres, have they provided a floodplain study? I
  • f there’s parking in the fully developed 100-year floodplain, is the average depth less than eight inches and the greatest depth no more than twelve inches? (see DCM 25-7-95)
  • No development in the fully developed 25-year floodplain (see DCM 25-7-92)
  • If the site plan proposes development in the central business district (CBD), the proposed structure must be at least 2 feet above the 100-year floodplain (see DCM 25-7-94). Outside the CBD, the proposed structure must be at least 1 foot above the fully developed 100-year floodplain (see BCM Ch. 58).
