Floodway Fringe Overlay District
Supporting Information
(This form must be filled out completely before your application will be accepted.)
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. In order to facilitate review of this
application for a Conditional Use Permit, the applicant shall submit evidence with the application
to show why an alternate method of elevation is needed. 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.)
I Evidence of the need for an alternate method of elevation.
Please explain.
Due to the site constrains and elevations the proposed building will have the primary
living space on the second floor and covered parking on the first floor.The density
requirements for the site based on the zoning designation required a minimum number of
units which was proposed on the site. In order to provide the minimum number of units
and adequate parking stalls the building had to be elevated to provide parking under the
building. Due to site constraints the standard 18' of outward fill that is typically utilized
was not able to be done. If 18' of outward fill was utilized there would not have been
enough space for the building width and the required parking and driveway to be situated
on the lot.The only option in order to meet the required site density was to elevate the
building.

2. Evidence to show that the proposed method of elevation is adequate to support the
structure as well as withstand the various forces and hazards associated with
flooding.
Please explain.
Due to the site constrains and elevations the proposed building will have the primary
living space on the second floor and covered arkin on the first floor. A small corner of
the building in the NW portion of the site is located in the floodway fringe The covered
parking area will be open on the east side of the site and a flood equalization opening®
will be installed on the west face of the building per flood plain requirements The walls for
the covered parking area were designed by a structural engineer to support the loads above
and residential living space. The opening on the lower level will ensure all the forces are
accounted for and not hazardous situations will occur.
