Regular Council Meeting May 12, 2014 Page 3 and people were filing paperwork to get out of the floodplain as described by Mr. Napier. Mayor Hashmi inquired if Ford would be required to get flood insurance for the area and Council Member Frierson said it would depend on what the lender required. Mr. Napier added that Ford was considering building a large retention pond in conjunction with a flood study to take care of additional run -off to the watershed. Several Council Members said they would be more comfortable with sending it to FEMA for approval first. Mr. Napier said they were looking at least 120 day delay if they sent it to FEMA first. A Motion to approve the final plat as presented was made by Council Member Frierson and seconded by Council Member Grossnickle. Motion failed 2 ayes — 5 nays, with Mayor Hashmi, Council Member Wright, Council Member Jenkins, Council Member Lancaster and Council Member Drake casting the dissenting votes. A Motion to first send a request to FEMA was made by Council Member Wright. Mr. Godwin that the motion needed to be a motion to deny without prejudice so that they could reapply again, otherwise they would have to wait an entire year. Council Member Frierson said they did not have flood expertise and the city administrator was saying it was within their boundaries to follow protocol. Council Member Frierson asked for clarification of Council Member Wright's motion to send this to FEMA, as to whether or not the motion was to deny without prejudice. Mr. Godwin said plats had to be approved or denied otherwise, if no action was taken within thirty days it was automatically approved. A Motion to deny the final plat was made by Council Member Wright and seconded by Mayor Hashmi. Motion carried, 5 ayes — 2 nays, with Council Member Frierson and Council Member Grossnickle casting the dissenting votes.
