The floodway and flood fringe areas of the Ashpole Swamp and its tributary laterals which are within the zoning jurisdiction of the Town of Fairmont shall be subject to regulation through this section. The floodway and flood fringe districts herein set forth are intended to protect areas of designated flood plans subject to and necessary for regulating flood waters, and to permit and encourage the retention of natural open-space land uses which would minimize damage caused by flood losses and constrict the development of land subject to flood damage.
