The hydrologic methodology developed in the Guidelines is appropriate for designation and approval of approximate floodplain information and for use in floodplain analyses for development activities such as open space, agriculture, bridges and culverts that serve farms or single family homes or cabins, pole bams, and individual single family residential structures. The Guidelines hydrologic methodology is not appropriate for development involving residential subdivisions greater than 50 lots or occurring on sites greater than 5 acres, commercial construction, industrial construction, construction of public transportation facilities, or construction of flood control facilities, The Town of Akron will regulate the approximate floodplains on a case-by-case basis subject to a detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis.
