§ 153.37 USES PERMITTED BY SPECIAL-USE PERMIT IN THE FLOODWAY FRINGE AREA.
   Provided such uses shall not, in the opinion of the planning commission, be adverse to the purpose of this chapter or damaging to the public health, safety, or welfare, or impose a financial burden upon the community, the following uses may be permitted by issuance of a special-use permit in accordance with the zoning ordinance of the township and any other requirements contained herein:
   (A)   Railroads, streets, bridges, utility transmission lines, and pipe lines;
   (B)   Marinas, boat rentals, piers, and wharves;
   (C)   Extraction of sand, gravel, and other minerals;
   (D)   Structures for recreational uses such as shelter houses, outbuildings, or wildlife sanctuaries;
   (E)   Those uses indicated as being permitted uses or as being permissible with a special-use permit in those zoning districts which underlie the Flood-Prevention District;
   (F)   Dumping or backfilling with any material in any manner. In the case where flood-way fringe areas have no groundwater recharge or impoundment potential, filling may occur through compensating excavation and shaping of the flood-way fringe in such a way as to maintain and improve the flow or natural impoundment capacity of the floodway fringe. In no case shall the flow or impoundment capacity of the floodway fringe be reduced.
   (G)   Other uses similar in nature to uses described in § 153.36 which are consistent with the provisions of this chapter.
