INSURANCE CONCERNING BUILDING PERMIT SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City of Southlake, Texas has adopted and is en-
forcing Zoning Ordinance No. 161 of the City of Southlake, Texas,
and,
WHEREAS, Section VIII, paragraph 2 of the aforesaid prohibits
any person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing, en-
larging, altering, repairing, improving, moving or demolishing any
building or structure without first obtaining a seperate building
permit for each building or structure from the City Secretary, and,
WHEREAS, the City Secretary must examine all plans and speci-
fication for the proposed construction when application is made to
her for a building permit.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by City Council of Southlake,
Texas as follows:
1. That the City Secretary shall review all building permit
applications for new construction or substantial improvements to
determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonable 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 construction materials

and other proposed new developments to assure that (i) all such pro-
posals 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 City Secretary 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 sys-
tems and discharges from the systems into flood waters, and require
on-site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid impair-
ment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
