checklIst and have the followmg comments
No site plan was mcluded With the checklIst making It difficult to determme the locatIon
relatIve to the 1 OO-year floodplam. If any proposed budding SItes are m the floodplam a
floodplam development penmt IS reqUired and the applIcant wIll have to assure that there wIll
be less than a I-foot nse In base flood elevation and no adverse floodmg Impacts to adjacent
propertIes
If you have any questions or would lIke to respond to these comments, please call Mr Dan
Sokol (Floodplain Management) at 9360) 407-7253 or With any other questIOns regardmg
