CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 84-49
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, PERTAINING TO THE PARTICIPATION OF THE
CITY OF SEWARD IN THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Seward has adopted and is enforcing the
Uniform Building Code, 1982 Edition; and
WHEREAS, Section 06.10.010 of the aforesaid prohibits any
person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing, enlarging,
altering, repairing, improving, moving or demolishing any building or
structure without first obtaining a separate building permit for each
building or structure from the City Engineer; and
WHEREAS, the Building Department must examine all plans and
specifications for the proposed construction when application is made to
him for a building permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The Building Department shall review all building
permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to
determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from
flooding. If a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood
hazard, any proposed new construction or substantial improvement (in-
cluding prefabricated and mobile homes) must (i) be designed (or mod-
ified) 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.
Section 2. The Building Department 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, elec-
trical, and water systems are located, elevated, and constructed to
minimize or eliminate flood damage, and (iii) adequate drainage is
provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
Section 3. The Building Department 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.
Section 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon
its adoption.
