As per your OPRA request; with specific regard to FEMA flood zone
information, the following information is provided below.
The property located at 47 Homestead Avenue (Block 866 Lot 3) in
Woodbridge Township has been located on the municipality’s Effective Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and the municipality’s Preliminary FIRM. The
information below denotes specific technical information regarding where
the insurable structure on the property resides in relation to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency’s floodplain delineation. Please note that the
Township does not have any records of substantial damage determinations
pursuant to floodplain management associated with said location.
Woodbridge Township’s Community Number: 345331
The insurable structure is located on map/panel number: 34023C0059F
The date of the FIRM index: July 6, 2010 - Effective
The primary insurable residential structure and entire property are
located in FIRM Zone: X-Unshaded; Not within a Special Flood Hazard Area.
Woodbridge Township’s Community Number: 345331
The insurable structure is located on map/panel number: 34023C0059G
The date of the FIRM index: January 31, 2014 - Preliminary
The primary insurable residential structure and entire property are
located in FIRM Zone: X-Unshaded; Not within a Special Flood Hazard Area.
In accordance with the 2010 Effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and
the 2014 Preliminary FIRM, 47 Homestead Avenue (Block 866 Lot 3) in
Woodbridge Township is not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Federal
law requires that a flood insurance policy be obtained as a condition of a
federally backed mortgage or loan that is secured by the structure located
in an area of special flood hazard, as per the Effective FIRM flood
delineation. Thus, property ownership associated with the aforementioned
structure does not require the purchase of flood insurance as per the
aforesaid circumstances. Although flood insurance may not be required
depending on how the structure is financially secured, it is recommended
in order to best minimize financial vulnerability during a potential flood
event.
NOTE: This determination is based on the available “Flood Insurance Rate
Maps(s)” of the municipality. This letter does not imply that the
referenced property will or will not be free from flooding or damage. A
property not in a Special Flood Hazard Area may be damaged by a flood
greater than that predicted on the FIRM or from a local drainage problem
not shown on the map. This letter does not create liability on the part of
the municipality, or any officer, or employee thereof, for any damage that
results from reliance on this determination.
