<br />Guide For Approximate Zone A Areas <br /> <br />Floodplain Management <br /> <br />ReQUirements for Deve10Dina BFE Data <br /> <br />Under Subparagraph 60.3(b) (3) of the NFIP regulations, <br />communities must also: <br /> <br />Require that all new subdivision proposals <br />and other proposed development (including <br />proposals for manufactured home parks and <br />sUbdivisions) greater than 50 lots or 5 <br />acres, whichever is the lesser, include <br />within such proposals base flood elevation <br />data; [ 44 CFR 60.3 (b) (3) ] <br /> <br />This means that any subdivision which meets this threshold <br />must be evaluated to determine if the subdivision proposal is <br />affected by an approximate Zone A area and whether BFE data <br />are required. BFE data are required for the affected lots in <br />the subdivisions shown in Figure 3, "Proposed 76-Lot <br />Subdivision," and Figure 4, "Proposed 6.7-Acre Subdivision." <br />Figure 3 clearly shows a 76-lot subdivision with several lots <br />affected by an approximate Zone A area. The subdivision <br />depicted in Figure 4 is only 12 lots, but because the <br />subdivision is greater than 5 acres and clearly shows <br />buildable sites affected by an approximate Zone A area, BFE <br />data are required. <br /> <br /> <br />-...__1 <br />y-------~-_. <br /> <br />Figure 3 - Proposed 76-Lot Subdivision <br /> <br />III-2 <br />
