  G106.5 Restrictions. The board shall not issue a variance for any proposed development in a floodway if any increase in flood levels would result during the base flood discharge.

  G106.6 Considerations. In reviewing applications for variances, the board shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, all other portions of this appendix and the following:

  1. The danger that materials and debris may be swept onto other lands resulting in further injury or damage.

  2. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage.

  3. The susceptibility of the proposed development, including contents, to flood damage and the effect of such damage on current and future owners.

  4. The importance of the services provided by the proposed development to the community.

  5. The availability of alternate locations for the proposed development that are not subject to flooding or erosion.

  6. The compatibility of the proposed development with existing and anticipated development.

  7. The relationship of the proposed development to the comprehensive plan and flood plain management program for that area.

  8. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles.

  9. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and debris and sediment transport of the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site.

  10. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems, streets and bridges.

  G106.7 Conditions for issuance. Variances shall only be issued by the board where all of the following criteria are met:

  1. A technical showing of good and sufficient cause that the unique characteristics of the size, configuration or topography of the site renders the elevation standards inappropriate.

  2. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship by rendering the lot undevelopable.

  3. A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, nor create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

  4. A determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.

  5. Notification to the applicant in writing over the signature of the floodplain administrator that the issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and that such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property.

  SECTION G107—SUBDIVISIONS

  G107.1 General. Any subdivision proposal, including proposals for manufactured home parks and subdivisions, or other proposed new development in a flood hazard area shall be reviewed to verify all of the following:

  1. Such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage.
  2. Public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electric and water systems, are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage.
  3. Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
