JEFFERSON BLVD., ROOM 1140 C'OUNT'Y-CITY BUILDING, SIIUIII BEND, INDIANA 46601 (574) 23S-9571 <br /> November 4, 2015 <br /> Tim Scott, President <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> 4th Floor, 227 W. Jefferson Blvd. <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Re: Floodplain Ordinance Text Replacement <br /> Dear Mr. Scott: <br /> The Federal Emergency Management Agency has made a number of changes to the Model <br /> Floodplain Ordinance, and has requested that communities that participate in the National Flood <br /> Insurance Program adopt the changes. The Department of Natural Resources is coordinating that <br /> effort for Indiana communities. A new floodplain ordinance must be adopted by December 16, <br /> 2015 in order for communities to remain in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program. <br /> Attached is a proposed ordinance initiated by the Area Plan Commission. The ordinance brings the <br /> City's floodplain regulations into compliance with the 2015 Model Floodplain Ordinance. The <br /> Flood Insurance Rate Maps effective January 6, 2011 remain in place. The ordinance is being <br /> reviewed by the Department of Natural Resources for conformity to the model floodplain <br /> ordinance. <br /> Please place this proposed ordinance on the November 9, 2015 Council agenda for First Reading. <br /> The Area Plan Commission will hold its public hearing on November 17, 2015 and certify the <br /> results of that public hearing the next day. It's my understanding that the Council will be able to <br /> give Second and Third Reading on this ordinance at its meeting of November 23, 2015. <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincere , Filed F _• -. ?,, Office <br /> /A--)/CD2.," <br /> Larry Maglio i FOV T 4 2015 <br /> .tor:,. :,: . <br /> CITY CLEF:..,SOL:1't"1!.:END,IN <br /> SERVING ST.
