[StBernard] question for Craig

[Westley Annis]

Laurie,
 
In a B zone there is no compliance issue, therefore you only need the
engineers report to satisfy the structural integrity of the home- with a
rating of 60% - 100% you would need the report to get permitted for the
associated repair work.  If you disagree with the assessment, you can
request a reassment in the community development office, if it is under 60%
then you can bypass the structural report if you sign a indemnity waiver and
file it with the clerk of court- the form is available in the community
development office.
 
You do not need the report for flood elevation issues, just the integrity of
the home.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

Craig,

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before but I can't
rememeber with all the information lingering around in my brain.  Do you
only need an engineer's report or contractor's estimates for repairs if you
are in flood zone A?  We have two properties in flood zone B.  Does that
mean we don't need anything for them in order to repair even if they were in
the 60% to 100% damage group?  Does that mean we only need the engineer's
report for the other properties in the A zone?  We have told the engineer to
do reports on all of the properties, but maybe we don't need them for the
zone B properties.  Please tell me again.

Laurie
