Sec. 12A-6. Abrogation and greater restrictions. <br />This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or <br />impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restric- <br />tions; however, where this chapter and 'another conflict' or <br />overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions <br />shall prevail. <br /> <br />Sec. 12A-7. Interpretation. <br />In the interpretation and application of this <br />provisions shall be: <br /> <br />chapter all <br /> <br /> (1) Considered as minimum requirements; <br /> (2) Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; <br />and <br /> (3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers <br />granted under State Statutes. <br /> <br />Sec. 12A-8. Warning and disclaimer of liability. <br />The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is <br />considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based <br />on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger <br />floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood <br />heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes. <br />This chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of <br />special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas <br />will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter <br />shall not create liability on the part of the City or by <br />any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that <br />result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative <br />decision lawfully made thereunder. <br /> <br />Sec. 12A-9. Designation of local administrator. <br />The Director of Public Works is hereby appointed to admin- <br />ister and implement the provisions of this chapter. <br />Duties and responsibilities of the local administrator <br />shall include, but not be limited to: <br /> <br /> (1) Review all development permits to assure that sites <br />are reasonably safe from flooding and that the permit <br />requirements of this chapter have been satisfied; <br /> (2) Review permits for proposed development to assure <br />that all necessary permits have been obtained from those <br />federal, state or local governmental agencies from which <br />prior approval is required; <br /> (3) Notify adjacent communities and Missouri Department <br />of Natural Resources prior to any alteration or relocation <br />of a water course, and submit evidence of such notifi- <br />cation to the Federal Insurance Administration; <br /> (4) Assure that maintenance is provided within the <br />altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that <br />the flood-carrying capacity is not dimtnshed; <br /> (5) Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation <br />to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including base- <br />ment) of new or substantially improved buildings in all <br />special flood hazard areas except Zone A, except in the <br />instance where base flood elevation data from other <br />sources are utilized; <br /> (6) Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation <br />to mean sea level) to which the new or substantially <br />improved buildings have been floodproofed; <br /> (7) The local administrator shall obtain, review and <br />reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway <br />data available from federal, state, or other source, as <br />criteria for requiring that new construction, substantial <br />improvements, or other development in Zone A meet the <br />requirements of Sections 12A-12 and 12A-13; <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
