RESOL UTIOK
WHEREAS, the City of Coppell has adopted and is enforcing The
Uniform Building Code, and Zoning Ordinance # 129, and;
WHEREAS, Section 30l 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
Building Official, and;
WHEREAS, the Building Official must examine all plans and spec-
ifications 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 Coppell as follows:
1. That the Building Official shall review all building permit app-
lications 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 (including prefabricated and
mobile homes) must (i) be designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent
flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure, (ii) use const-
ruction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage,
and (iii) use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood
damage, and;
2. That the Building Official 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, electrical, 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, and;
3. That the Building Official 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.
