1177.15 SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLYING TO FLOODWAY FRINGE PORTIONS OF GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT.

   (a)    Permitted Uses. Uses listed in Section 1177.13(a) as permitted uses are permitted uses.

   (b)    Special Exceptions. Structural or other uses shall be permitted within the floodway fringe as special exception uses to the extent they are not prohibited by any other ordinance and they meet the following applicable standards:

      (1)    Residences shall be constructed on fill with the lowest floor including basement floor at least one foot above the regional elevations. The fill shall extend at least fifteen feet beyond the limits of any structure or building erected thereon. Where existing streets or utilities are at elevations which make compliance with this provision impractical or in other special circumstances, the Board of Appeals may authorize other techniques for elevation. Such structures shall be anchored to resist flotation or lateral movement.

      (2)    Structures other than residences shall also ordinarily be elevated on fill as provided in subsection (a) hereof but may, in special circumstances, be protected as provided in Section 1177.20(e) to a point at or above the flood protection elevation.

      (3)    Any new or improved water or sewer system shall be designed to minimize infiltration due to flooding and that any onsite waste disposal systems shall be designed to avoid impairment due to flooding.
