Although not specified, it is assumed that the question refers to an elevation survey. See answer to Question #42 (repeated here). The City has provided FEMA with more accurate topographic information based on aerial photography taken in the year 2000 for consideration in the Flood Insurance Rate Maps currently being prepared. 37. Are there any plans to due such a survey? See answer to previous question. 38. What will be done with the dozens of structures which have been built in the flood zones that do not conform to FEMA standards? The goal is to remediate and mitigate to bring things into maximum practicable compliance. The flood insurance rates in the City are cheaper now because the City has been doing a good job of enforcing its rules. FEMA will ask for an inventory of violations, and go through permit files to develop a remediation plan. Everybody but the DNR and FEMA will pay. 39. Are there any State, Federal or FEMA funds that could be applied for? See answer to Question #29.
