<br />Section E. 9. STANDARDS FOR AREAS OF SHALLOW FLOODING (AD ZONES). <br /> <br />Located within the areas of Special Flood Hazard established in Article 3, Section B, are areas <br />designated as shallow flooding areas. These areas have flood hazards associated with base flood <br />depths of one to three (1 '-3') two to three (2 3') feet, where a clearly defined channel does not exist <br />and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; therefore, the following <br />provisions apply: <br /> <br />(1) All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures shall have the <br />lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the flood depth number specified on the Flood <br />Insurance Rate Map, above the highest adjacent grade. If no flood depth number is <br />specified, the lowest flood, including basement, shall be elevated at least two (2) feet above <br />the highest adjacent grade. <br /> <br />(2) All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures shall: <br /> <br />(a) Have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the flood depth <br />number specified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map above the highest <br />adjacent grade. If no flood depth number is specified, the lowest floor, <br />including basement, shall be elevated at least two feet (2') above the highest <br />adjacent grade; or <br /> <br />(b) Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be completely flood- <br />proofed to the specified flood level so that any space below that level is <br />watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and <br />with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and <br />hydrodynamic 10ads and effects of buoyancy. Certification is required as <br />state in Article 5, Section B(2). <br /> <br />Section F.:g, STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISION PROPOSALS. <br /> <br />(1) All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage. <br /> <br />(2) All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, <br />electrical and water systems 10cated and constructed to minimize flood damage. <br /> <br />(3) All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood <br />hazards. <br /> <br />(4) Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other proposed <br />development, including manufactured home parks and subdivisions, greater than fifty (50) <br />lots of five (5) acres, whichever is less. <br /> <br />Flood Damage Prevention Ord. <br />Legislation/Ordinancesl Attorney <br />417103 --5:04 PM <br /> <br />20 <br />
