Clinton Expresses U.S. Commitment to Creating "AIDS-Free Generation," Calls on World to Help
November 9, 2011
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at the NIH on Tuesday, "called on the world to create the first 'AIDS-free generation' by using antiviral drugs, condoms, circumcision and other approaches to stem the spread of HIV," the Washington Post reports. "Taken together, mathematical models show that these strategies could significantly reduce the spread of the virus by another 40 percent to 60 percent, she said," the newspaper writes (Stein, 11/8).
"An AIDS-free generation is one in which 'virtually no children are born with the virus,' that as they become teens and then adults they are at 'far lower risk' of infection than today, and that those who do become infected have access to life-saving AIDS drugs that also prevent them from spreading the virus to others, [Clinton] said," the Wall Street Journal notes (McKay, 11/8). "Clinton gave only one date, 2015, by which she hoped a goal would be reached: that no more mothers will infect their babies at birth or through breastfeeding," which together "is the source of about one-seventh of all new infections," according to the New York Times (McNeil, 11/8).
Clinton "said 'no institution in the world has done more than the United States government' in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and she positioned the Obama Administration as taking the lead in the push to change the trajectory of the epidemic," ScienceInsider reports. Clinton "pointedly called on other countries to do more" and "chided some donors who were considering reducing contributions, and well-off countries that currently give nothing. She also called on countries that receive help to do more, both in funding and leadership, to address their epidemics," the news service writes (Cohen, 11/8). "Clinton said the United States, which already has donated $50 million to fund academic studies on how best to ramp up the new model, would spend another $60 million to expand combination-prevention in four sub-Saharan African countries to provide more data on the efficacy of the approach," Reuters reports (Quinn, 11/8).
"Clinton also courted popular opinion by announcing a new special envoy to raise global awareness of the disease -- the actress, comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres," the Guardian notes (Boseley, 11/8). "Eric Goosby, the administration's global AIDS coordinator, said this was only the first of several speeches that administration officials planned to make on AIDS in the next few months," the New York Times writes (11/8). The Department of State provides a factsheet on its website about preventive strategies in relation to Clinton's speech (11/8). For additional information on Clinton's speech and other AIDS policy issues, visit the Kaiser Family Foundation's Policy Tracker, which provide the latest information on Congressional and Administrative action on global health (11/9).

Happy new year to all of my Blanton family cousins and my Geneablogger friends. I truly appreciate those of you who have read and commented on my blog this year.
I'm not one to make a bunch of New Year's Resolutions, but I have a few in mind. I have only made 31 posts to my blog this year and I will try to do better next year. I am not a writer like many of the wonderful Geneabloggers. I started this blog to give out more information about the families I am researching. I'm not sure where I will go with my blog this year, but I'm hoping to get more of my family information on here. I have the majority of it on my web site, but it doesn't hurt to have it in two places.
I'm also hoping to join at least one of the nearby genealogical societies where many of my ancestors lived. Now that I'm living nearby, it will be possible for me to attend their meetings. I would also love to go to one of the genealogy conferences, but I'm not sure if I can make that happen this year.
Happy New Year everyone. Here's wishing that we all make some wonderful discoveries this year and break down some of those brick walls!

A LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence, made possible by the V Foundation and LIVESTRONG.
Who is a cancer survivor?
Anyone diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagnosis through the rest of his or her life.
What is cancer survivorship?
Survivorship describes the experience of moving beyond cancer diagnosis and treatment toward wellness.
Thanks to earlier detection, innovative medical treatments and supportive care from family and friends, there are now more than 12 million cancer survivors in the United States today. As even more progress is made in the fight against cancer and the number of survivors continue to grow, health care providers must have programs and resources in place to help survivors achieve the best quality of life possible. UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the N.C. Cancer Hospital are committed to providing cancer survivorship services for North Carolinians and have been invited to join the Lance Armstrong Foundation's LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence Network and created Carolina Well-the UNC Lineberger Survivorship Program! UNC Lineberger is the eighth network member institution in the nation and the only one in the Southeast.
From the outside looking in, most people think coming to the end of treatment should be a time of joy and ease. However for many survivors when the routine of treatment ends it can be a time of mixed emotions- a time for celebration, yet also a time of more challenges. Many survivors often liken the transition to being cast adrift — they're not sure what comes next and they feel lost about moving forward.
Many questions may surface:
- What do I do now?
- How can I stay healthy?
- Will my cancer come back?
- What about the side effects of treatment?
- How do I get back to "normal"? Is there a new "normal"?
In addition, though many survivors feel well, others can experience lingering health issues, financial consequences, and social concerns.
What Survivorship services are available?
It is important for you to know there are tools available to help you move beyond the illness and positively impact the quality of your life. It is also important to take care of yourself, to make follow-up appointments with your health care provider and make sure you let them know of any physical or emotional things that may be bothering you, including things that get in the way of your daily life and well-being. Survivorship programs and clinics can help you and your family address these concerns and help you feel better-in body and mind.
Survivorship care plans and survivorship clinic visits are tools to help create an easier transition to life after cancer for both you and your primary care provider. They will help you:
- Address any physical and emotional concerns you have following cancer treatment
- Understand the treatment you received and it's potential side effects
- Recommendations for follow-up care, also know as surveillance, such as check ups with your doctor, tests, and what to expect
- Develop a personalized action plan for healthy living
- Get other referrals as needed, for example: symptom management or medication clinics, nutrition consult, etc.
- Transition back to your community health care provider by providing a concise summary of your cancer treatment and a survivorship care plan for you and your primary care provider
Call 919-966-3494 to schedule an appointment for the following clinics: General Transitions Survivorship Clinic, Breast Survivorship Clinic, Testicular Survivorship Clinic, and the Bone Marrow Transplant Long Term Follow-Up Clinic.
Learn more by visiting CarolinaWell.org
You will find an array of tools to help you survive cancer with confidence.
Cancer Transitions Classes/Workshops
Attend one of our Transitions sessions- a four to six week group program for cancer survivors and their caregivers that offers education, support and expert speakers on medical issues, exercise, nutrition and emotional needs that survivors may face after treatment. Visit the Calendar of Events page or the Cancer Transitions page which lists our programs across North Carolina.

First images from MHS and GOME-2 on MetOp-A
Now that all the instruments carried on MetOp-A have been successfully switched on, the first Level-1b images from the MHS instrument, which measures atmospheric humidity and temperature, and the first Earthshine spectra from the ozone monitoring instrument GOME-2 have been acquired.
These data are the latest to be released following the very first image received from the AMSU-A instrument (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit) on 25 October and images from the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) on 26 October.
The European MHS (Microwave Humidity Sounder) was switched onto scan-mode on 31 October and its first image generated by the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) Ground Segment and analysed in its Calibration Validation Facility. The images display the Earth view radiances of the five channels for about one hour on the same day. In all five channels, the tropical cyclone named CIMARON east of South Korea is well-marked.
Developed by Astrium UK under EUMETSAT contract, MHS works in conjunction with four of the U.S. instruments provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); namely the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units–A1 and –A2 (AMSU), the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS).
The ensemble is termed the Advanced TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) and provides accurate vertical temperature and humidity profiles of the atmosphere. As part of ATOVS, MHS is already delivering valuable data as it is in operation on the NOAA-N satellite, which was launched in May 2005, and it will also form part of the payload on NOAA-N'. MHS represents a significant enhancement over the AMSU-B carried on earlier NOAA satellites.
The MHS detects microwave radiation emitted from the surface of the Earth at specific frequency bands. As the radiation passes through the atmosphere, the signal is partially absorbed by the moisture in cloud cover and precipitation etc, and hence altered. These alterations are detected at a number of different layers in the atmosphere, from which accurate profiles on atmospheric humidity as well as temperatures at the surface of the Earth can be derived.
The first GOME-2 (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2) Earthshine spectra were acquired on 30 October after completion on the initial testing procedure. The plot shows an un-calibrated Earthshine spectrum in binary units (BU).
It should be noted that all bands were commanded with the same integration time for this acquisition, which accounts for the very low signal levels in band 1a. These data were successfully processed by the EUMETSAT ground segment with both Level 1a and level 1b products being produced. However, accurate calibration of the level-1b data is not yet possible as this requires in-flight calibration data, which will be acquired progressively over the next weeks.
The enhanced GOME-2 instrument is a scanning spectrometer used to measure profiles of atmospheric ozone and to measure other trace gases in the atmosphere. GOME-2 is set to continue the long-term monitoring of atmospheric ozone started by GOME on ERS-2 and SCIAMACHY on Envisat.
Developed by Gailileo Avionica under ESA contract, GOME-2 will ensure that the future monitoring of atmospheric ozone is fast and accurate, contributing greatly to atmospheric chemistry research and climate monitoring. Observations of levels of other gases such as nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide will be used for the monitoring and forecasting of air quality while recorded levels of ozone will be used for warnings and UV forecasting. The meteorological services will further be using GOME-2 data in their numerical models, in order to contribute to their weather forecasts.
MetOp-A, launched on 19 October 2006, carries a set of 'heritage' instruments provided by the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the French Space Agency (CNES) and a new generation of five European instruments offering improved sensing capabilities to both meteorologists and climatologists.

Steelers name WR Brown MVP for 2nd time
The first time Jerricho Cotchery walked into Antonio Brown's house, it was all the newly acquired Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver could do to avoid the exercise equipment scattered across the living room floor.
"It's like he never stops working," Cotchery said.
Or ever stops producing for that matter.
In the midst of perhaps the finest season by a receiver in the franchise's 81-year history, Brown was voted the team's Most Valuable Player for the second time in three years on Thursday.
Brown won the award in 2011 after making the Pro Bowl as a kick returner and a rapidly developing slot receiver. If anything, Brown has become more indispensable in the interim.
Entering Sunday's season finale against Cleveland, Brown already owns the club record for yards receiving in a single season (1,412) and with 101 receptions has an outside chance to break Hines Ward's mark of 112 catches in 2002.
Oh, and he's still returning punts, including a 67-yard sprint for a touchdown in a 30-20 victory over Cincinnati two weeks ago that kept Pittsburgh (7-8) in the postseason mix.
"Once he gets the ball in his hands, everybody is holding their breath because something usually special happens," Cotchery said.
It's an ascension the Steelers bet on in the summer of 2012 when they signed Brown to a $42 million contract extension while Mike Wallace futilely held out for more money. Wallace eventually did get paid, inking a $60 million deal with Miami last spring.
So far, it appears Pittsburgh made the right choice. Wallace has 68 receptions for 905 yards and three scores for the Dolphins. When the Pro Bowl rosters are announced on Friday, Brown's name will almost certainly be read. Wallace's almost certainly will not.
Brown declines to draw any sort of comparison. He and Wallace are friends and two completely different players. Wallace relies heavily on his all-world speed, while Brown's talents stem from his quick feet and his ability to make things happen in the open field.
Cotchery points to Brown's near miracle play at the end of a 34-28 loss to the Dolphins three weeks ago as proof of Brown's unique ability. Trailing by six with 3 seconds left, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hit Emmanuel Sanders for a 25-yard gain down the left sideline. While his teammates began to make a series of laterals across the Heinz Field turf, Brown hung out at the Pittsburgh 40.
"He was just kind of waiting in the corner while everybody was flicking the ball around, just waiting his turn like, `I'm ready, I'm ready,"' Cotchery said. "Then we were just watching."
While Brown eventually got the ball and made a madcap dash to the end zone that ended when he inadvertently stepped out of bounds at the Miami 12, the list of players who would have gotten even that far is short.
It's why Brown continues to do double-duty on punt returns, where his 13.4 yards per runback ranks third in the league. It's a job Brown accepts eagerly even if he's the only No. 1 receiver in the league who still plays a significant role on special teams.
Then again, there are few premier receivers who look like Brown. At 5-foot-10 and 186 pounds, he's the point guard to Calvin Johnson's power forward. There was a time while Brown was in college at Central Michigan that he went to Ford Field to watch Johnson play for the Detroit Lions.
Five years later, Brown and Johnson were exchanging jerseys after a 37-27 win in Pittsburgh last month, a sign of mutual respect from one star to another.
"He is different than anyone I've coached," offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "That goes back a ways. Generally, they (guys that line up on the outside) have been big-body guys. He is breaking the trend right now."
It's become a habit.
Brown admits he's still fueled by the reality that 194 other players were taken ahead of him in the 2010 draft. Ask him why he thinks it took so long to be selected and he simply shrugs his shoulders and says, "I'm not the scout."
Maybe, but the insult – real or perceived – continues to irk him. It's one of the reasons he'll hop on the treadmill in the middle of the night, or head straight from practice to a nearby gym for another workout.
That doesn't make him different than a lot of players, perhaps. It's the consistency, however, that makes his teammates marvel. Brown has at least five receptions and 50 yards receiving in every game this year even as defenses have adjusted to slow him down.
"(His work ethic) just overflows into every other area," Cotchery said. "He comes in to develop more things in his game. He goes and puts it to work on Sundays. He doesn't take a day off."
NOTES: Sanders (knee), G David DeCastro (back), LB Terence Garvin (knee) and LB Jason Worilds (abdomen) did not practice Thursday.

The poor people should be
The poor people should be provided education which is the only way to gain skills and thereby better employment opportunities. It is one way through which we can help them to come out of poverty, Another way can be to provide them with health facilities in case of illness so that they are not vulnerable to poverty in case of severe illness.
Agriculture was identified in
Agriculture was identified in the 2008 World Bank Development Report to be 4 times more effective at moving rural people out of poverty than other options.
It'll take a potato machine..
It'll take a potato machine...
We use technology for maximizing profit and over productivity, but we fail at letting it ease the production of basic nutritional needs. If we have the technology for space exploration, we have to have the potential to automate the production of a nutritional baseline (potatoes, carrots...).
Initial investments would have to be made, for the technology to be implemented; but the it would be cheap to maintain (I'd be very happy to help for charity, thus so would others), and we'd have maximized productivity, as we do in the monetary world. Money would theoretically be of no issue, as machines need no salary. Designing technology also means considering efficiency, thus using as little finite resources as possible.
Imagine what we could do, if we put as much motivation into fighting poverty, as we put in making profit. Profit has made something as big as the industrialization happen. All this could have been used to ease everybody's lives in stead.
Freeing the poor from hunger is possible, if we put our minds into it; but eliminating poverty in the monetary sense is impossible, as long as we live in our competition driven monetary realm. Who doesn't want to win?
Create/Supporting local
Create/Supporting local initiatives, by sharing and provision of know-how and best practices from around the world using ICT and multimedia contents prepared and translated in world languages workable on internet, mobile phones...
Specially empowering, those who are below poverty line in how to be productive, supportive and sustainable within their own communities and environment. How to fight corruption individually and collectively, how to become part of the decision making process peacefully.
Collectively punish the corruption by using initiative like ipaidbribe.com.
Abolish the World Bank that
Abolish the World Bank that enslaves the poor and poor countries with debt which destroys job creation/economies.

Tottenham academy player Kenneth McEvoy has been awarded a place in the Republic of Ireland Under 19 squad to face Czech Republic.
The 19-year-old has shrugged off injury to be available for selection to the delight of Republic of Ireland manager, Paul Doolin.
Doolin told the Irish FA's website: "I'm very happy to have quite a few players fit again...Kenny McEvoy returns from a groin problem – he's exciting and quick."
The forward has enjoyed a successful career in the Tottenham academy since joining in July 2011. He was the second highest scorer for the Under-18 side last season with eight goals in 22 matches.
The Republic of Ireland will play the Czechs twice in three days as the men in green look to improve on their impressive UEFA Championship qualifying campaign.

text: New Genetic Selection Videos on Iowa Beef Center Website May 27, 2014 04:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email No matter how complex the gamut of information on breeding decisions available to producers, a simple and timely review of the basics often can help provide better understanding of the tools and processes. That's why the Iowa Beef Center has posted four new videos on a new webpage devoted to genetic selection topics, including expected progeny differences. "Pre- and post- meeting evaluations on EPDs at recent bull selection clinics showed a significant portion of the audience still needed a refresher," said Patrick Wall, Iowa State University Extension beef program specialist. "These videos should help clear up some of the confusion producers face before opening up that next sale catalog or attending that upcoming meeting on genomic-enhanced selection." The four new videos focus on specifically identified EPD basic information segments: calving ease, growth traits, maternal traits, and carcass traits, making it easy for viewers to find the subject they want, Wall said. "People don't need to watch segments on maternal EPDs if they are only interested in carcass traits," he said. "Viewers receive narration of individual EPDs, interpretations of the definitions and units of measure, and explanations of some methods on how to avoid over-selection. Additional environmental scenarios are covered to help producers escape potential pitfalls in profitability." This new page is on the IBC website at http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/geneticselection.html. Each video entry is linked directly to that specific video on the IBC YouTube channel. Additional resources and links will be added as they're available. Source: Iowa State University Extension Back to news

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Dumont by Ord. No. 1082 (Ch. 10A of the 1970 Revised Ordinances). Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed:
To protect human life and health;
To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the public;
To minimize prolonged business interruptions;
To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;
To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas;
To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in the area of special flood hazard; and
To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions for:
Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities;
Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural protective barriers which help accommodate or channel floodwaters;
Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage; and
Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
Unless specifically defined below, words and phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the meanings they have in common usage and to give this chapter its most reasonable application.
- A request for a review of the Building Inspector's interpretation of any provision of this chapter or a request for a variance.
- A designated AO, AH, VO Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate
Map (FIRM) with a 1% or greater annual chance of flooding to an average
depth of one to three feet where a clearly defined channel does not
exist, where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity
flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or
sheet flow.[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
- The land in the floodplain within a community subject to a 1% or greater chance of flooding in any given year.
- The flood having a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded
in any given year.[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
- Any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides.
- A wall that is part of the structural support of the building
and is intended through its design and construction to collapse under
specific lateral loading forces without causing damage to the elevated
portion of the building or supporting foundation system.[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
- Any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate,
including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining,
dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations,
or storage of equipment or materials located within the area of special
flood hazard.[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
- A nonbasement building built so that the top of the elevated floor or shear walls are parallel to the flow of the water and adequately anchored so as not to impair the structural integrity of the building during a flood of up to the magnitude of the base flood. In an area of special flood hazard, "elevated building" also includes a building elevated by means of fill or solid foundation perimeter walls with openings sufficient to facilitate the unimpeded movement of floodwaters.
- FLOOD or FLOODING
- A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from:
- The official map on which the Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazard and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.
- The official report provided in which the Federal Insurance Administration has provided flood profiles, as well as the Flood Boundary-Floodway Map and the water surface elevation of the base flood.
- Zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes,
health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as a floodplain
ordinance, grading ordinance, and erosion control ordinance) and other
applications of police power. The term describes such state and local
regulations, in any combination thereof, which provide standards for
the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction.[Added 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]

Lands to which this chapter applies. This chapter applies to all areas of special flood hazards within the jurisdiction of the Borough of Dumont.
Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard. The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study of Bergen County, New Jersey" with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map panels 184, 192, 203 and 211 of 332, dated September 30, 2005, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. The Flood Insurance Study is on file in the Office of the Borough Clerk, 50 Washington Avenue, Dumont, New Jersey.
[Amended 7-19-2005]
No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted or altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable regulations.
The Building Inspector is hereby appointed to administer and implement this chapter by granting or denying development permit applications in accordance with its provisions.
The duties of the Building Inspector shall include but not be limited to:
The review of all development permits:
To determine that the permit requirements of this chapter are satisfied.
To determine that all necessary permits have been obtained from those federal, state or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required.
To assure that the encroachment provisions of § 225-8G(1) are met if the proposed development is located in the floodway.
Use of other base flood and floodway data. When base flood elevation and floodway data has not been provided in accordance with § 222-3B, the Building Inspector shall obtain, review and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state or other source, in order to administer § 222-8F(1) and (2).
Information to be obtained and maintained.
To obtain and record the actual elevation, in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor, including basement, of all new or substantially improved structures and whether or not the structure contains a basement.
For all new substantially improved floodproofed structures to verify and record the actual elevation, in relation to mean sea level, and maintain the floodproofing certifications required in § 222-6C.
To maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this chapter.
Alteration of watercourses.
To notify adjacent communities and the Department of Environmental Protection prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration.
To require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood-carrying capacity is not diminished.
Interpretation of FIRM boundaries. To make interpretations where needed, as to the exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazard. The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in § 222-7.
A development permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazard established in § 222-3B. Application for a development permit shall be made on forms furnished by the Building Inspector and shall include plans, in duplicate, drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions and elevations of the area in question, existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities and the location of the foregoing. In addition, the following information is required:
The elevation, in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor, including basement, of all structures;
The elevation, in relation to mean sea level, to which any structure has been floodproofed;
Certification by a registered professional engineer or architect that the floodproofing methods for any nonresidential structure meet the floodproofing criteria in § 222-8F(2); and
A description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.
Appeal Board.
The Joint Land Use Board of the Borough of Dumont shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this chapter.
The Joint Land Use Board shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision or determination made by the Building Inspector in the enforcement or administration of this chapter.
Those aggrieved by the decision of the Joint Land Use Board, or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the Superior Court of New Jersey.
In passing upon such applications, the Joint Land Use Board shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter and the following:
The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner;
The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;
The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and floodplain management program of that area;
The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;
The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and
The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electric and water systems and streets and bridges.
Upon consideration of the factors of § 222-7A(4) and the purpose of this chapter, the Joint Land Use Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.
The Building Inspector shall maintain the records of all appeal actions, including technical information, and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request.
Conditions for variances.
Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of 1/2 acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, provided that § 222-7A(1) through (11) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond 1/2 acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
Variances shall only be issued upon:
A showing of good and sufficient cause;
A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety or extraordinary public expense or create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public as identified in § 222-7A(4) or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest flood elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
In all areas of special flood hazard, the following standards are required:
All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure.
All manufactured homes shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include but are not limited to use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable state and local anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces.
Construction materials and methods. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and using methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system.
New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharge from the systems into floodwaters.
On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air-conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall be designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
Subdivision proposals.
All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage.
All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems, located and constructed to minimize flood damage.
All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage.
Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other proposed development which contain at least 50 lots or five acres, whichever is less.
Enclosed openings. For all new construction and substantial improvements, fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an areas other than a basement and which are subject to flooding shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of flood waters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: a minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers or other covering or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters.
[Amended 9-19-1995 by Ord. No. 1221]
Specific standards. In all areas of special flood hazard where base flood elevation data have not been provided as set forth in § 222-3B or 222-5B, the following standards are required:
Residential construction. New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above base flood elevation.
Nonresidential construction. New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the level of the base flood elevation; or
Be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water.
Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy.
Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting the applicable provisions of this subsection. Such certification shall be provided to the official as set forth in § 222-5B(2).
Manufactured homes.
All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially improved within an area of special flood hazard shall be elevated on a permanent foundation such that the top of the lowest floor is at or above the base flood elevation.
Floodways. Located in areas of special flood hazard established in § 222-3B are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development, are prohibited unless a technical evaluation demonstrates that encroachment shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
If § 222-8G(1) is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this section.
In all areas of special flood hazard in which base flood elevation data has been provided and no floodway has been designated, the cumulative effect of any proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, shall not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than 0.2 foot at any point.
This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing easements, covenants or deed restrictions. However, if this chapter conflicts or overlaps with any easement, covenant, deed restriction or other law, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
