§ 18-96. Variance notification and records.

Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that:

(1)

Specifies the difference between the base flood elevation and the elevation of the proposed lowest floor and stating that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with an increased risk to life and property resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. It could result in rate increases in the hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars annually depending on structure and site specific conditions.

(2)

The floodplain administrator shall maintain a record of all variance actions and appeal actions, including justification for their issuance. Report any variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 4 and the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs/Office of Water Resources upon request.

(3)

A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the floodplain administrator in the office of the town clerk and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.
