1. 131529 An ordinance relating to floodplain zoning regulations.
Sponsors: Ald. Bohl
Mr. Richardson said that the change being proposed was verbally discussed at the
previous meeting of the committee concerning floodplain revisions to the code. The
Department of Natural Resources requested that some floodplain panels be put into
the City’s zoning code. Due to an oversight, this change was not put into the code
and should have been put into the code from the last revisions concerning
floodplains.
Atty. Mukamal questioned the appearance of a floodplain panel, where hardcopies
are kept, and whether or not the committee has jurisdiction to do map amendments?
Mr. Richardson replied. It is a map that designates a particular area and has lines on
it to show where flood boundaries are. Hardcopies of these maps used to be kept.
The maps are available in databases online and other mapping software. FEHMA
and Map Milwaukee websites are a few examples. This change is considered a text
amendment.
Mr. Roberts asked why the map is called Waukesha County flood insurance rate
map?
Atty. Mukamal responded that the City owns tiny areas outside of Milwaukee County,
including areas near Menomonee Falls and within Waukesha County .
Mr. Richardson said these areas outside of Milwaukee County were omitted.
Mr. Richardson moved that the proposed ordinance meets the standards of legality
and enforceability, administrative efficiency, and consistency with the format of the
zoning code. Atty. Mukamal seconded. There were no objections.
Meeting adjourned at 3:09 p.m.
