Streets required for paved permanent access shall be designed and constructed so that the flow depths over them do not exceed 1 foot in depth during the base flood. At least one paved permanent access shall be provided to each lot over terrain that can be traversed by conventional motor vehicles in times of flooding. In specific instances at drainage crossings where it can be demonstrated that this requirement is either impractical, based upon low hazard to life and property, or where construction of a drainage crossing may create problems that override the corresponding benefits, this requirement may be waived by the chief engineer. Fill may be used for streets in areas subject to flooding, provided such fill does not unduly increase flood heights. The developers may be required to provide profiles and elevations of streets for areas subject to flooding.
