WHEREAS, the COUNTY OF DESCHUTES has adopted and is
enforcing the UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, STATE OF OREGON, and
the DESCHUTES COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, and
WHEREAS, Section 301 (a) of the aforesaid Building Code
and Section 2.010 of the aforesaid Zoning Ordinance prohibits
any person, firm or corporation from erecting, constructing, moving,
enlarging, altering, repairing, improving, or demolishing
any building or structure without obtaining a separate building
permit for each building or structure from the Deschutes County
Planning Director and the Deschutes County Building Official,
and
WHEREAS, the DESCHUTES COUNTY BUILDING DEPARTMENT must
examine all plans and specifications for the proposed con-
struction when application is made to them for a building permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED by the Board of Commissioners
of Deschutes County as follows:
1. That the Deschutes County Building Department shall review
all building permit applications for new construction or sub-
stantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites
will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site
is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new con-
struction or substantial improvement (including prefabricated and
mobile homes) must (i) be designed (or modified) and anchored to
prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure,
(ii) use construction materials and utility equipment that are
resistant to flood damage, and (iii) use construction methods and
practices that will minimize flood damage; and
2. That the Deschutes County Planning Commission shall review
subdivision proposals and other proposed new developments to assure
that (i) all such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize
flood damage, (ii) all public utilities and facilities, such as
sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located, elevated,
and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage, and (iii)
adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood
hazards; and
3. That the Deschutes County Health Department or Department
of Environmental Quality shall require new or replacement water
supply systems and/or sanitary sewage systems to be designed to
minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the
systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters, and
require on-site waste disposal systems to be located so as to
avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during
flooding.
Done by order of the Board of Commissioners this 5th day of
November, 1975, to become effective immediately. C%A
