§ 7-91. Floodways and non-encroachment areas.

Located within the special flood hazard areas established in section 7-37 are areas designated as floodways or non-encroachment areas. The floodways and non-encroachment areas are extremely hazardous areas due to the velocity of floodwaters that have erosion potential and carry debris and potential projectiles. The following provisions shall apply to all development within such areas:

(1)

No encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other developments shall be permitted unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in the flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood. Such certification and technical data shall be presented to the floodplain administrator prior to issuance of floodplain development permit.

(2)

If subsection (1) is satisfied, all development shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this chapter.

(3)

No manufactured homes shall be permitted, except replacement manufactured homes in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision provided the following provisions are met:

a.

The anchoring and the elevation standards of subsection 7-87(3); and

b.

The no encroachment standards of subsection (1) are met.
