Supervisor: DEC requires explicit flood‑plain notation on building permits per 1988 agreement
Summary
Supervisor Jack Thompson told the board that the DEC requires permits to state when construction occurs in the flood plain and to be processed through the DEC, citing an agreement signed in 1988 with Supervisor Dininny; Code Enforcement was notified to apply the requirement.
Supervisor Jack Thompson reported the town met with the DEC about flood‑plain permits and said the agency requires building permits to explicitly state when a property is in the flood plain and to be processed through the DEC under a 1988 agreement. Thompson said the Code Enforcement Officer was notified to implement the requirement.
The board did not take a formal vote on permit policy changes at the meeting; the discussion was recorded as guidance from the DEC and an internal notification to the Code Enforcement Officer to ensure future building permits reference flood‑plain status when applicable.
