An <br />Conditional Use shall be subject to the standards and criteria and evaluation <br />ied in §9.22.05 Subd. 4 & 5 and {}9.22.10 Subd. 4 of this ordinance. <br />hd. 4 Standards for Flood Fringe Conditional Uses: <br /> <br /> Alternative elevation methods other than the use of fill may be utilized to <br /> elevate a structure's lowest floor above the Regulatory Flood Protection <br /> Elevation. These alternative methods may include the use of stilts, pilings, <br /> parallel walls, etc., or above-grade, enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or <br /> tuck under garages. The base or floor of an enclosed area shall be <br /> considered above-grade and not a structure's basement or lowest floor if: 1) <br /> the enclosed area is above-grade on at least one side of the structure; 2) it is <br /> designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; <br /> and 3) it is used solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage. <br /> The above noted alternative elevation methods are subject to the following <br /> additional standards: <br /> <br /> 1. Design and Certification - The structure's design and as-built <br /> condition must be certified by a registered professional engineer or <br /> architect as being in compliance with the general design standards of <br /> the State Building Code and, specifically, that all electrical, heating, <br /> ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service <br /> facilities must be at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection <br /> Elevation or be designed to prevent flood water from entering or <br /> accumulating within these components during times of flooding. <br /> <br /> 2. Specific Standards for Above-grade, Enclosed Areas - Above-grade, <br /> fully enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck under garages must <br /> be designed to internally flood and the design plans must stipulate: <br /> (a) The minimum area of openings in the walls where internal <br /> flooding is to be used as a flood proofing technique. When <br /> openings are placed in a structure's walls to provide for entry of <br /> flood waters to equalize pressures, the bottom of all openings <br /> shall be no higher than one-foot above grade. Openings may be <br /> equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or <br /> devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of <br /> flood waters. <br /> (b) That the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant <br /> materials in accordance with the FP-3 or FP-4 classifications in <br /> the State Building Code and shall be used solely for building <br /> access, parking of vehicles or storage. <br /> <br /> Basements, as defined in {}9.22.02 Subd. 8, shall be subject to the <br /> following: <br /> <br /> 1. Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the <br /> Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. <br /> <br /> 2. Non-residential basements may be allowed below the Regulatory <br /> Flood Protection Elevation provided the basement is structurally dry <br /> <br /> <br />
