required as in Section 7-10-4(C)2, obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to
mean sea level) of the lowest habitable floor (including basement) of all new or sub-
stantially improved structures, and whether or not the structure contains a basement.
(b)For all new or substantially improved flood proofed structures:
(i)Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level), and
(ii)Maintain the flood proofing certifications required in Section 7-10-5 (B) 3.

course so that the flood carrying capacity is not diminished.
5.Interpretation of FIRM Boundaries: Make interpretations where needed, as to exact location of
the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a
conflict between a mapped boundary and the actual field conditions). The person contesting the
location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation. Such
appeals shall be granted consistent with the appeals procedure as provided in Section 7-10-4(D)4
of this chapter and the standards of Section 1910.6 of the rules and regulations of the National

established by the City of Ammon, shall hear and decide appeals and requests for
variances from the requirements of this chapter.
(b)The Board of Adjustment, or the City Council acting as the Board of Adjustment, shall
hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision,
or determination made by the Enforcement Officer in the enforcement or administration
of this chapter.
(c)Those aggrieved by the decision of the Board of Adjustment, or the City Council acting
as the Board of Adjustment, or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the Seventh
Judicial District Court, as provided by Idaho statutes.
(d)In passing upon such applications, the Board of Adjustment, or the City Council acting
as the Board of Adjustment, shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors,
standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and:
(i)The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
(ii)The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
(iii)The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and
the effect of such damage on the individual owner;
(iv)The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the
community;
(v)The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
(vi)The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not
subject to flooding or erosion damage;
(vii)The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated
development;
(viii)The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plain
management program for that area;
(ix)The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and
emergency vehicles;
(x)The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of
the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the
site; and
(xi)The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions,
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer,
gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges.
(e)Upon considerationof the factors of Section 7-10-4 (D) 1(d) and the purposes of this
chapter, the Board of Adjustment, or the City Council acting as the Board of Adjustment,
may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further
the purposes of this chapter.
(f)The City Engineer shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any
variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request.
3.Conditions for Variance:
(a)Generally, the only condition under which a variance from theelevation standard may
be issued is for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of
one-half (½) acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
Ordinance #608T6 C1 C3 C4 C5 T7 C2 C4 C6 C7 C10Page 7of 10
44 of 76
45
structures constructed below the base flood level, providing items (i-xi) in Section 7-10-4
(D) 1(d) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases the technical justification
required for issuing the variance increases.
(b)Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, or restoration of structures
listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic
Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in this section.
(c)Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in flood levels
during the base flood discharge would result.
(d)Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
(e)Variances shall only be issued upon:
(i)A showing of good and sufficient cause;
(ii)A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant;
(iii)A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood
heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create
nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing
local laws or ordinances.
(f)Variances as interpreted in the National Flood Insurance Program are based on the
general zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are
not personal in nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or
financial circumstances. They primarily address small lots in densely populated
residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite
rare.
(g)Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to
allow a lesser degree of flood proofing than watertight or dry-flood proofing, where it
can be determined that such action will have low damage potential, complies with all
other variance criteria except Section 7-10-4 (D) 2(a), and otherwise complies with
Sections 7-10-5 (A) 1 and 7-10-5 (A) 2 of the GENERAL STANDARDS.
(h)Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the
structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood
elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased
risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
Title 7, Chapter10,Flood Plain Requirements, Section 6, Minimum Flood Proof Basement Design Requirements, of
the City Code of Ammon, shall be repealed in its entirety.
Title 7, Chapter10,Flood Plain Requirements, Section 8, Flood Insurance Study, of the City Code of Ammon, shall

the City of Ammon, Idahoflood plain.
The most current flood insurance study for Bonneville County shall be used for any properties annexed into the City
of Ammon that are outside of the City of Ammon flood insurance study maps.

lowest floor is at or above the required elevation. The City Engineer shall certify this.
(C)The City Engineer working with the Building Department shall inspect and certify that any addition devices
or structures are in place prior to the final certificate of occupancy.
