RECOMMENDATION TO COMMON COUNCIL TO AMEND CHAPTER 14 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE – FLOODPLAIN ZONING ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code regulates floodplain development within the City of Muskego, and
WHEREAS, The City of Muskego is required to have a Floodplain Ordinance in order to be part of the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) and by participating in the NFIP the residents
of Muskego are eligible to get flood insurance, and
WHEREAS, One of the main conditions of the NFIP program is that the City must adopt the required codes/regulations and maps before the effective date of the new information (November
19, 2008), and
WHEREAS, Over about the past year or two FEMA has been working on updating their floodplain maps as the previous FEMA floodplain maps were originally approved in 1982, with minor
amendments from time to time, and
WHEREAS, The revised floodplain maps have been finalized by FEMA recently and now the City is required to update our Floodplain Zoning Ordinance to reflect the new maps and some other
minor DNR required ordinance amendments, and
WHEREAS, The bulk of the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance is not changing as part of these required updates and the text changes do not formally change any of the regulations within the
floodplain, and
WHEREAS, The Floodplain Zoning Ordinance regulates the two areas of the floodplain known as the floodway and the floodfringe, and
WHEREAS, A public hearing is scheduled to consider the amendments on October 14, 2008.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission recommends the proposed changes to Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code relating to floodplain regulations and mapping to the Common
Council.
