Areas lying outside the floodway district, but within the area covered by the regional flood, shall be subject to the following regulations:
(1) No building or structure shall be erected, and no existing building or structure shall be extended or moved unless the main floor of the building or structure is placed outside of the flood hazard areas, as determined from the FEMA FIRM maps as incorporated by this chapter. Foundations of all structures shall be designed to withstand flood conditions at the site.
(2) Land may be filled within these flood-fringed areas provided the fill extends 25 feet beyond the limits of any structures erected thereon.
(3) Any structures proposed to be located outside the floodway district, but within 100 feet of any main drainage channel or stream (hereafter referred to as stream) within Canton or within one (1) mile of the corporate limits, must be approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board or other designated public officials shall determine on the basis of the area of the watershed and the probable runoff, the openings needed for the stream, or how close a structure may be built to the stream, in order to assure adequate space for the flow of flood water. However, no building shall be permitted within 10 feet of the top of the bank of the stream.
