MEMORANDUM i
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission Members
FROM: Ron Wooldridge, Chief Planner
DATE: October 18, 1979
SUBJECT: Administrative Meeting of October 24, 1979
Obviously, this meeting is directed toward water and water-related items.
It is the culmination of a number of activities which have been ongoing
since the flood of June, 1975.
The agenda items are of a technical nature and, hopefully, the attached
will serve as the formal reports. Further information and description
will be given at the meeting. Maps are not being sent with this agenda.
They are too many, too big, and too bulky. A representative map for the
FEMA study and Zoning Ordinance are attached.
FEMA Stud,
The enclosed copy of the September 13, 1979, Amuildbune article is
factual and sets the basis for the FEMA study. The main body of the
study report is also attached.
On the study, there must be approval of:
1. The study.
2. The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM maps) .
3. The elevations as illustrated in Table 2 of the study.
Flood Plain Zoning
The zoning text is basically the recommended model from the Iowa Natural
Resources Council . The Federal Government is very specific about what
is to be included in the text and the proposal does meet these require-
ments. Formal approval will be given by INRC, hopefully at its next
meeting.
Or the ordinance, there must be approval of:
1. The text.
2. The maps including the Flood Plain and Floodway lines.
Hallett's Research Proposal
There is no further information on this item at this time. Dr. Dougal and
Dr. Harris Seidel will be at the meeting for further explanation.
You will also find attached communications concerning adjustment of the
floodway line on College Creek at its conjunction with Squaw Creek. This
will be explained by Dr. Dougal at the meeting.
