General standards. <br />In all areas of special flood hazards, determined by FEMA or by the community in <br />areas where FEMA has not determined the areas of special flood hazard, the following <br />provisions apply: <br />(1) The floodplain administrator shall review permits for proposed construction or <br />other development, including the placement of manufactured homes, so that a <br />determination may be made whether or not such construction or other <br />development is proposed within flood -prone areas. <br />(2) The developer of new construction, substantial improvements, and other <br />development proposals must assure that all necessary permits have been obtained <br />from those governmental agencies from which approval is required by federal or <br />state law, including Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as <br />amended, or by other regulating agencies. <br />(3) All new construction and substantial improvements must be designed (or <br />modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral <br />movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, <br />including the effects of buoyancy. <br />(4) All new construction and substantial improvements must be constructed with <br />materials and utility elements resistant to flood damage. <br />(5) All new construction or substantial improvements must be constructed by <br />methods and practices that minimize flood damage. <br />(6) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment and other <br />service facilities, including duct work, must be designed and/or located so as to <br />prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during <br />conditions of flooding. <br />(7) Subdivision proposals and other proposed new development, including <br />manufactured home parks or subdivisions, must be assured that they will be <br />reasonably safe from flooding and meet the standards of section 39.043. If a <br />subdivision proposal or other proposed new development is in a flood -prone area, <br />any such proposals shall be reviewed to assure that: <br />a. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage <br />within the flood -prone area, <br />
