7/21/2017 Chapter 13 - Zoning Code http://library.amlegal.com/alpscripts/get-content.aspx 2/17 These regulations of this Section shall apply to all lands within the City as shown on the Official Zoning Map and/or the attachments thereto as being located within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe, or General Flood Plain Districts. 1335.07 Establishment of Official Zoning Map. The Official Zoning Map together with all materials attached thereto shall be adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this Section as if set out here in full. The attached material shall include the Flood Insurance Study for Ramsey County, Minnesota (All Jurisdictions) and Flood Insurance Rate Map panels therein numbered 27123C0004G, 27123C0005G, 27123C0010G, 27123C0012G, 27123C0016G and 27123C0020G, all dated June 4, 2010, and prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Official Zoning Map shall be on file in the Office of the City Administrator. 1335.08 Interpretation. Subd. 1 Minimum Standards. In their interpretation and application, these regulations of this Section shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the City and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes. Subd. 2 Boundaries. The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be determined by scaling distances on the Official Zoning Map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the district as shown on the Official Zoning Map, as for example where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions and there is a formal appeal of the decision of the Zoning Administrator, the Board of Adjustment shall make the necessary interpretation. All decisions shall be based on elevations on the regional (100-year) flood profile, the ground elevations that existed on the site at the time the City adopted its initial floodplain ordinance or on the date of the first National Flood Insurance Program map showing the 100-year floodplain if earlier, and other available technical data. Any person contesting the location of the district boundaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present his or her case to the Board and to submit technical evidence. 1335.09 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. It is not intended by this Ordinance to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only. 1335.10 Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. This Ordinance does not imply that areas outside the flood plain districts or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City of Arden Hills or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made there under. 1335.11 Severability. If any section, clause, provision, or portion of this Ordinance is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby.
