§ 197-12 Establishment of development permit.
§ 197-13 Designation of local administrator.
§ 197-14 Duties and responsibilities of administrator.
Review all development permits to determine that if the proposed development is located in the floodway, then assure that the encroachment provisions of § 197-18A are met.
Use of other base flood and floodway data. When base flood elevation and floodway data has not been provided in accordance with § 197-7, Basis for establishing areas of special flood hazard, the Construction Official shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state or other source, in order to administer § 197-17, Subsection A, Specific standards, residential construction, and Subsection B, Specific standards, nonresidential construction.
Maintain the floodproofing certifications required in § 197-12C.
Interpretation of DFIRM boundaries. Make interpretations where needed, as to the exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazard (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in § 197-15.
The Planning Board as established by the Borough of Highland Park shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this chapter.
Those aggrieved by the decision of the Planning Board, or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the Superior Court, as provided in Court Rule 4:69.
Upon consideration of the factors in Subsection A(4) and the purposes of this chapter, the Planning Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.
Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of 1/2 acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, provided Subsection A(4)(a) through (k) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond the 1/2 acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
