TheSouthBethanyTownCouncilis reviewingFEMAfloodplainrulesand hopingtoharmonizetownbuilding codesandpermitswiththeover-arching federalmandates.Thetownmanager andstaffmembersareworkingtoward thatend,whileMayorTimSaxtonalso hasmetwithDNRECofficialsrecently aboutthediscrepancyinfloodplainregulationsandlackofclarityinthe FEMArules.
JosephHinks,whoisaconstableand codeenforcementofficerwiththeTown of SouthBethany,ishelpingwithalignmentandthecodeandpermitreview process.
“Weneedtobringthetowncode intoharmonywiththefloodplainordinance.It’sreallyahousekeepingitem thatwasmissedearlier,”saidHinks.

“Theintenthereistotiebacktothe floodplainordinanceandkeying-into the word‘development,’”saidHinks. “Anyman-madechange—ifitdidn’t existbeforeandnowitdoesexist—is inthisbroadandsweepingdefinition

InTownManagerMaureenHartman’sreportforcodeenforcementactivitylastmonth,thereweresixconstable callsforpropertyviolations,fourcalls forconstructiondebrisleftonawork siteandfourunlicensedcontractors foundworkingonjobs.Codeenforcementcompleted20propertyinspections inAugust.
“AllofthisrequiresFEMAcompliance,”saidCouncilMemberRobertBiciocchi.“Thereisnoexception,evenif wearereplacingaboard.”
“Thereisnoexception,”confirmed Hinks.
“Whenwechangetheordinance,we shouldalsooffertochangethefee structuretomakeitfair,”saidSaxton. “Onthesecondreading,”themayor said,thepermitfeesshouldbereviewed.
“Iamstrugglingwithsomeofthis, eventhoughwecanhandlemostofthe requirementswithourtownfeestructure,”saidSaxton.“Iamalittleconcernedwhenwearetalkingabout repairs.Therearesomethingsthatare minorrepairsthatImightstrike.Of course,whenyoustarttearingthings apart,youoftenfindthatthereisamore majorconstructionitem.”
“But,youdon’tneedapermitfor

Hinkssaidthewaytohandlethat, whichisappropriateforFEMA,isthat theexclusionneedstotakeplacewithin thefloodplainordinance.
“Thefloodplainordinanceisthe mostrestrictive;so,ifwewanttochange things,wehavetogodownthatroad withDNRECandFEMA.Itdoesn’t mattertoeitheragencyifwegivethose itemsawayorifwechargeforthem,” saidHinks.“Thisisaboutrecord-keepingandeverythingyoumightdotoa house.”
“FromFEMA’sstandpoint,when youareinafloodplain,theydonotwant youtomakesomanyrepairsandimprovementstoyourhomethatyouhave anon-complianthome,”addedHinks. “Ifitweretogetflooded,theythenhave topayforyourrepairsthroughthe NFIPFloodInsurance.Everycommunitymustbecomethattrackingdevice forFEMA.”
“Aslongasthingsaretrackedbyway ofpermit,thewayyouchargeorupgradeaspacedoesn’tmattertothem,” Hinksnoted.
“FEMAwantstoknowwhyyouare nottrackingornotenforcingyourown

Thepermittingisarequirementfor FEMA.
CouncilMemberTimShawsaid,“If Iputanewscreendooronmyhome,I havenotmateriallychangedmystructureormyhome.It’sanin-kindreplacement.Istrugglewithhowthatis somethingthatFEMAwouldcare about.”
Hinkssaid,“Icannotputthelogicto it.Icanonlytellyoutherule.”
