5, Page 16 (sec. 410) d. Exceptions .., The exceptions for uses in the low hazard zone are subject to control only by the building inspector as outlined in the reso- lution. They should be considered as conditional uses subject to the approval by the appropriate legislative body - the council for zoning matters and the board of adjustment for variances, etc. We recommend these matters be reviewed for consistency with zoning requirements for areas and uses. 6. Page 18, par. 6. Reword to "A specific determination of the intermediate regional flood elevation for the subject property from the floodplain information reports shall be the responsi- bility ..." 7, Page 18, par. 6, Suggest replacing "technical evidence" with "technical information as to the established intermediate regional flood (lOO-year) elevations ..." 8. Definitions included in Sec. 210 should be reviewed for the specific reference to terms used in the resolution and for their technical accuracy. For 40 and 41, it is recommended that floodplains be defined as the area in and adjacent to a stream course. For the Flood Hazard District, it is the flood- plain area inundated by the intermediate regional flood (the 100-year flood) and which area thus is so adverse .... (The corollary to "Floodplain" and "Flood Hazard District" is (1) flood area outlines and (2) flood flow widths, representa- tive of established water surface elevations at locations along a stream course). Flood profile (item 42) is not used in the resolution. Surface elevation is used and should more appropriately be defined and referenced to a profile. Regulatory flood elevation is the established water surface elevation of the intermediate regional flood (the 100-year flood) at all locations along a stream course, whose elevation, referenced in feet above mean sea level datum, is determined by a hydraulic analysis of the physical character- istics of the inundated areas affected by the 100-year flow. (The corollary expression for water surface elevation is (1) the flood height with respect to the areas adjacent to the inundated areas and (2) the flood depth within the inundated areas, measured from the water surface elevation at any location to the corresponding land surface elevation). Floodway zone (item 44) and low hazard zone. (item 62) should be consistent for such floodplains that a low hazard zone may not be identified. Floodway zone is the floodplain if the low hazard zone is not identified, Floodway zone when the low hazard zone is identified, is the portion of the floodplain in which the flow depths of.the 100-year flow are more than one and one-half feet. -2-
