The FIS and attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are recommended to the city of Ely by the floodplain administrator. The FIS, FIRMs and FBFMs are on file at city hall, 501 Mill Street. (Ord. 624, 2-14-2008)
