§ 26-218. Protection standard.

This Article's protection standard is the base flood. The best available base flood data is listed in this Section. If a party disagrees with the best available data, the party may finance the detailed engineering study needed to replace the existing data with better data and submit it to FEMA for approval.

(1)

The base flood elevation for the floodplains of the Illinois River, an Unnamed Tributary to Kickapoo Creek, LaMarsh Creek, and an Unnamed Tributary B Creek shall be as delineated on the 100-year flood profiles in the flood insurance study of the Village prepared by FEMA and dated May 2, 1983.

(2)

The base flood elevation for each floodplain delineated as an AH Zone or AO Zone shall be that elevation (or depth) delineated on the flood insurance rate map of the Village.

(3)

The base flood elevation for each of the remaining floodplains delineated as a Zone A on the flood insurance rate map of the Village shall be according to the best data available from federal, State, or other sources. Should no other data exist, an engineering study must be financed to determine base flood elevations.

(4)

The base flood elevation for the floodplains of those parts of the unincoporated County that are within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Village, or that may be annexed into the Village, shall be as delineated on the 100-year flood profiles of the flood insurance study of Peoria County prepared by FEMA and dated December 1, 1982.
