10-060. General Flood Plain District and Zone A Lakes. Permissible Uses, A. The uses listed in Section 10-040 (1) of this Chapter shall be permitted uses. B. All other uses shall be subject to the 1% annual change flood (100 -Year Flood Elevations) and/or floodway/flood fringe determinations evaluatien-criteria pursuant to Section 10-060 (2) and Section 10-060 (3) below. Section 10-040 shall apply if the proposed use is in the Floodway District and Section 10-050 shall apply if the proposed use is in the Flood Fringe District. Procedures for I % annual chance flood (100 -Year Flood Elevations) and/or Floodway and Flood A. Upon receipt of an application for a eenditienal-use permit for a use or other approval within the General Flood Plain District, the applicant shall be required to furnish such of the following information as is deemed necessary by the Zoning Administrator for the determination of the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and whether the proposed use is within the Floodway or Flood Fringe District. 1. A typical valley cross-section( showing the channel of the stream, elevation of land areas adjoining each side of the channel, cross-sectional areas to be occupied by the proposed development, and high water information. 2. Plan (surface view) showing elevations or contours of the ground; pertinent structure, fill, or storage elevations; size, location, and spatial arrangement of all proposed and existing structures on the site; location and elevations of streets; photographs showing existing land uses and vegetation upstream and downstream; and soil type. 3. Profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel or flow line of the stream for at least 500 feet in either direction from the proposed development. B. The applicant shall submit a copy of the information required by Section 10-060 (2) A to a designated engineer or other expert person or agency for technical assistance in determining the 1% annual chance flood (100 -Year Flood Elevations) if not available whether the proposed use is in the Floodway or Flood Fringe District and to determine the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. Procedures consistent with Minnesota Regulations 1983, Parts 6120.500-6120.6200 and 44 Code of Federal Regulations Part 65 shall be followed in this expert evaluation. The designated engineer or expert is strongly encouraged to discuss the proposed technical evaluation methodology with the respective Department of Natural Resources' Area Hydrologist prior to commencing the analysis. The designated engineer or expert shall: 1. Estimate the peak discharge of the regional flood. 2. Calculate the water surface profile of the regional flood based upon hydraulic analysis of the stream channel and overbank areas. 3. Compute the floodway necessary to convey or store the regional flood without increasing flood stages more than 0.5 foot. A lesser stage increase than 0.5 foot shall be required if, as a result of the additional stage increase, increased flood damage would result. An equal degree of encroachment on both side of the stream within the reach shall be assumed in computing floodway boundaries. C. The Zoning Administrator shall present the technical evaluation and findings of the designated engineer or expert to the City Council. The City Council must formally accept the technical evaluation and the recommended Floodway and/or Flood Fringe District boundary or deny the (Underline reflects new language, St4l4ethreuglt reflects deleted language)
