A. Emergency repair and replacement of severely damaged public transportation facilities, public water and sewer facilities, and flood control works may be authorized. Floodplain development permit requirements may be waived if:

1. Upon notification and prior to the emergency repair and/or replacement, the floodplain administrator determines that an emergency condition exists warranting immediate action; and

2. The floodplain administrator agrees upon the nature and type of proposed emergency repair and/or replacement.

B. Authorization to undertake emergency repair and replacement work may be given verbally if the floodplain administrator feels that such a written authorization would unduly delay the emergency works. Such verbal authorization must be followed by a written authorization describing the emergency condition, and the type of emergency work agreed upon, and stating that a verbal authorization had been previously given. (Ord. 576 § 5(C), 1994)
