Board updates floodplain ordinance to reflect FEMA map revision for South Branch of Pike River
Summary
The Village Board approved an amendment to the floodplain zoning ordinance to reference FEMA's letter of map amendment (LOMAR), adjusting base flood elevations for the South Branch of the Pike River; staff said changes reduced mapped flood areas in the village.
Staff presented a FEMA Letter of Map Amendment (LOMAR 23-05-0545P) effective July 25, 2025 that updates base flood elevations for the South Branch of the Pike River. The Plan Commission recommended that village ordinances be amended to reference the FEMA approval letter and revised mapping.
Trustees noted that much of the mapped floodway lies outside Pleasant Prairie and that the mapped changes reduce the village's floodplain. Following staff recommendation, the board approved the ordinance amendment.
