The Zoning Board of Adjustment may grant a Conditional Use Permit for an Alternate Method of Elevating a Residential Structure in the Floodway Fringe Overlay District, where topography, street grades, or other factors preclude elevating by fill. In such cases, the methods used must be adequate to support the structure as well as withstand the various forces and hazards associated with flooding.

Evidence shall also be submitted with this application to show that the proposed methods of elevation are adequate to support the structure as well as withstand the various forces and hazards associated with flooding. (Note: The applicant's answers to the questions that follow may be attached on a separate sheet if sufficient space is not provided.) 1. Evidence of the need for an alternate method of elevation. Please explain. The site is an odd shaped triangular parcel with limited area for building construction and parking. In order to maximize the use of the site and to improve the resistance of the site to floodwaters it is proposed to use a concrete wall in lieu of a steep grass bank. The concrete floodwall will be used as a footing for the building at 1210 S.4th. The building at 1216 will have the flood wall offset from the corner of the building. The concrete wall is superior in resistance to floodwaters than a grass bank. The building finish floors are at 899.0(NGVD 29)which is 4 feet higher than the 100 year flood elevation and 1 foot higher than required by the City of Ames ordinance. Access to the building is available in the front of the building for emergency vehicles access. Emergency access is not needed to the rear of the buildings. The method of protection is superior to a vegetated bank and increases the amount of buildable area. The lower area is in the floodway is used for parking in accordance with the City code. The project's fulfills the primary purpose of protecting the Riverside Manor nursing home from flood events by building structures that prevent floodwaters from reaching Riverside Manor and thereby forcing the evacuation of Riverside Manor. 5 Effective Date: April 1, 2014 2.
