Nehawka board adopts amendment updating floodplain mapping for Cass County
Summary
The Village of Nehawka Board of Trustees unanimously adopted Amendment No. 1 to Ordinance 2023-5 on Aug. 22, 2024, updating Section 3 to adopt new Cass County floodplain mapping released Aug. 14, 2024; trustees waived two additional readings before approval (tally not specified).
Chairman Tim Dineen read Amendment No. 1 to Ordinance 2023-5, which amends Section 3 (Establishment of Zoning Districts) to adopt Cass County’s new floodplain mapping released Aug. 14, 2024. Ian Begemann moved to waive two additional readings and approve the amendment; Dineen seconded and the motion carried (vote tally not specified).
Why it matters: Adopting the county mapping changes the village’s delineation of regulated floodplain areas. That affects permitting, building‑site reviews and floodplain management obligations under the village ordinance; board members discussed and then approved the change during the regular meeting.
Details: The amendment explicitly updates Nehawka’s zoning district definitions to align with the new county mapping. The board’s action consisted of a reading of the amendment, a motion to waive further readings and an approval vote at the Aug. 22 meeting. The record notes the mapping project was released for Cass County on Aug. 14, 2024.
What’s next: The village did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes; the motion was recorded as carried. The amendment will be reflected in village records and applied in future permit and zoning decisions until further action by the board.
