Supporting Information
(This form must be filled out completely before your application will be accepted.)
The Zoning Board of Adjustment can grant a Conditional Use Permit in the Floodway
Overlay District, only if all of the following "Performance Standards" are satisfied. In
order to facilitate review of this application for a Conditional Use Permit in the Floodway Overlay
District, the applicant must address each of the "Performance Standards" set forth in Section
9.4(3) of the Municipal Code, which are listed below.
(Note: The applicant's explanation of how the request meets each standard may be attached
on a separate sheet if sufficient space is not provided.)
Performance Standards. The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review each application for
the purpose of determining that the "Performance Standards" are satisfied. Pursuant to the
Municipal Code, a Conditional Use Permit in the Floodway (Overlay) District shall be granted
only if the following performance standards are satisfied:
(a) No use shall be permitted in the Floodway Overlay District that would result in any
increase in the base flood elevation level. Consideration of the effects of any
development on flood levels shall be based upon the assumption that an equal
degree of development would be allowed for similarly situated lands. Evidence
required will be a hydraulic study performed by a registered professional engineer
for the area of drainage involved.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
There is no increase in the base flood elevation as there is no fill or obstruction placed in the
floodway. All the work is to lower the area in the floodway which will decrease or have no
effect on the base flood elevation. A detailed hydraulic study is unnecessary.

(b) All uses within the Floodway Overlay District shall:
(i) Be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
(ii) Use construction methods and practices that will minimize and resist flood
damage; and
(iii) Use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood
damage.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
The slopes of the excavation are stable at 3:1 (H:V) and stabilized in prairie grass. There are no
construction materials used in the construction nor is there any utility equipment installed. The excavation
site is a minimum of 130 feet from the edge of the normal channel
(c) No use shall affect the capacity or conveyance of the channel or floodway or any
tributary to the main stream, drainage ditch, or any other drainage facility or
system.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
The existing channel is untouched by the excavation and as such there is no change in the
capacity or conveyance of the Skunk River Channel.
(d) Structures, buildings, and sanitary and utility systems, if permitted, shall meet the
applicable performance standards of the Floodway Fringe Overlay District and
shall be constructed or aligned to present the minimum possible resistance to
flood flows.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
There are no structures, buildings, sanitary sewer systems, or other utilities in the area.
6
Effective Date: January 1, 2011
(e) Buildings, if permitted, shall have a low flood damage potential and shall not be
for human habitation.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
No buildings are constructed as part of this request
(f) Storage of materials or equipment that are buoyant, flammable, explosive or
injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. Storage of other material
may be allowed if readily removable from the Floodway Overlay District within the
time available after a flood warning.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
There will be no storage or materials or equipment in this area except during construction.
Any temporary equipment used will be stored above grade prior to any flood event.
(g) Watercourse alterations or relocations (channel changes and modifications) must
be designed to maintain the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated
portion. In addition, such alterations or relocations must be approved by the
Department of Natural Resources.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
This is not a channel relocation or alteration. The existing channel is unaffected.
(h) Any fill allowed in the floodway must be shown to have some public beneficial
purpose and shall be limited to the minimum amount necessary.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
There is no fill as part of this request.
7
Effective Date: January 1, 2011
(i) Pipeline river or stream crossings shall be buried in the streambed and banks or
otherwise sufficiently protected to prevent rupture due to channel degradation
and meandering or due to the action of flood flows.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
There are not water or sanitary sewer utilities in the area.
(j) It shall be the responsibility of adjacent property owners to maintain the location
and carrying capacity of the floodway adjacent to their property.
Explain how the request meets this performance standard.
The capacity of the floodway will not be affected unless the excavation is silted in to an elevation
higher than the existing grade. At that point, which is very unlikely, then the property owners
will need to excavate the material to meet this requirement and return the ground elevation to
below the current existing ground elevation.
