O. Nunn, Mayor Pro Tem Billy Joe Knox, Councilman R. D. Drummond, Councilman Sam Davis, Councilman James Winfrey, Councilman Staff members present: William D. Campbell, City Attorney J. Craig Eaton, Carter & Burgess, Planner Police Chief Douglas R. Hughes Fire Chief R. P. Steele. Mayor Booker called the meeting to order at 7:35 P. M. The invo- cation was given by Councilman Nunn. The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as read. FLOOD HAZARD AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE was opened for discussion. Citizen Martin Vale asked if the designation of an area as flood prone would be harmful to its value. The Council felt this would not hurt the value of property and would qualify for the flood insurance program because of it. Craig Eaton offered further thoughts along this line. Motion by Councilman Knox to adopt Ordinance No. 161-62, as written, pertaining to the flood hazard amendment; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. (Said Ordinance attached hereto and made a part hereof.) STREET STANDARDS: Final discussion was next had on the adoption of an ordinance setting forth street standards. The Council ex- pressed the view that the standards as developed by Carter & Burgess were thorough. Councilman Knox advised he had been out of town and therefore had not had the opportunity to study the proposed ordinance. Councilman Davis moved that the matter be tabled to the December 3rd meeting; seconded by Councilman Knox. Councilman Nunn asked to go on record as stating that he did not care to see delay beyond that time. Motion passed unani- mously. At this time, Craig Eaton handed the PUD section he has developed for the updating of the zoning ordinance. He also handed in a prepared check list for final plats as asked for by the Planning & Zoning Commission. 3 The Council next considered the request for a private access road by John Love. Mr. Love introduced Mr. Ken McWaters to explain what was needed. He stated that some of the land has been sold and access is only attainable by such a road. The Mayor called on the City Attorney who advised that if a gate would be kept closed and a "Private Property" sign posted, to which Mr. Love agreed, there would be no problems. The Council were all in agreement that such a road be permitted and that this is not being done as preliminary road construction. The Mayor tabled the appointment of a member to the Planning & Zoning Commission in David Moak's place to the next regular meeting. LOOSE LIVESTOCK CONTROL was next discussed with the Council and Mrs. Evelyn Zembrod who asked that an ordinance be passed to alleviate such a problem. Discussion followed. The Mayor recommended to the Council that they take time between now and the December 17th meeting to study the problem and determine their wishes as to the passage of such an ordinance at that time. Miss Cathy Wincovitch addressed the Council regarding the City's consortium with-Tarrant County for participation in the Commu- nity Development Act. Councilman Davis moved that Resolution Nn-,7,-., ,1, having the City joining with Tarrant County in the Community Development Act, be passed and approved; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. (Said Resolution attached hereto and made a part hereof.) 169 FIRE DEPARTMENT report was given by Councilman Winfrey who then gave the floor to Fire Chief Steele, who asked for Council ap- proval of a purchase of a pressure relief valve in the sum of $45.00:` So moved Councilman Knox; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously. The by-laws were then discussed. Councilman Winfrey moved that the amendment to the by-laws be accepted as presented; seconded by Councilman Knox. Motion passed unanimously. (A copy of same being attached hereto.) Regular Council Meeting 11/19/74-Pg 2 of 3. 170 r L The POLICE DEPARTMENT report was given by Police Chief Hughes at the request of Councilman Nunn. He called the Council's attention to a fifty-fifty grant for the purchase of traffic control signs. The Council did not exhibit any interest. He then called the Council's attention to the present grant in- volving the purchase of radio equipment, the City's share needing to be raised approximately $1200.00 which would then make the City's total cost in this grant participation the sum of $2,754.00. Councilman Knox moved that such raise be author- ized, amending Resolution No. 74-28; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously. (Said amendment to Resolu- tion No. 74-28 attached hereto and made a part hereof.) Councilman Knox informed the Council that the Department of Public Safety is "looking for a home". After some discus- sion, the Council agreed that $500.00 be allocated to enclose a space on the second floor of this City building to be used as an office by the Department of Public Safety. So moved Councilman Knox; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. The WATER DEPARTMENT report was given by Councilman Davis. First topic of discussion was to provide a fenced in storage area at a cost of about $2100.00 and Councilman Davis so moved; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unanimously. The City Secretary was instructed to place on the December 17th agenda the subject matter of the No. 2 ground storage tank which is in need of repair. Councilman Knox moved that the bills presented be approved for payment; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unani- mously. The City Attorney advised the Council as to the Tarrant County Health Department septic tank regulations being inflexible as to the lot'size and also to the fact that there are nine (9) cities that have adopted it thus far. The Council took no action on this matter at this time. Mayor Booker announced that a closed session on the subject of personnel matters would follow this meeting. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. Mayor ATTEST: City Secretary Regular Council Meeting 11/19/74-Pg 3 of 3.

TEXAS (AN AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 161) SECTION 1 - FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS: "FW!' - FLOODWAY DISTRICT AND "FP" - FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT: The regulations governing the use of land, buildings and structures, or as set forth elsewhere in the City's Zoning Ordinance when referred to in this section, are the regulations of the "FW - Floodway District" and "FP - Flood Plain District." Both districts are by nature interrelated and therefore combined in this section. 1.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT. It has been determined that within the City of Southlake, Texas, there exist flood hazard areas which are subject to. periodic inundation and which can result in loss of life and property, cause disruption of commerce and governmental services and facilities, induce extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief and' ~airment of the tax base - all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. It has further been determined that such losses in flood hazard areas are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodways which increase flood heights and velocities and the occupancy of flood plains by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other inadequately elevated or otherwise unprotected uses from flood damages. It is the purpose and intent of this section, therefore, to promote and safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare in minimizing the aforedescribed losses by provisions designed to: 1. r a. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety ' or property in times of flood or cause increased flood heights or velocities; b. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including P ublic facilities ' which serve such uses, be provided with flood protection at the time of initial construction or major expansions thereof; t c. Protect individuals in the acquisition or development of lands which are generally unsuited for certain purposes because of ' potential flood hazard; ' d Provide for the establishment of a comprehensive drainage plan for the major watercourses, drainageways and greenbelts of the ' City; e. -Insure the perpetuity, conservation and protection of watercourses, drainageways and greenbelts throughout the City as a natural.Pro- tection against hazards and losses connected with flooding. In order to achieve the aforedescribed purposes, two interrelated ' districts are established: ."FW - Floodway District," which embraces the channel of a watercourse, drainageway or greenbelt and adjacent ' land areas on either side that are required to carry and discharge . ' the floodwater or flood flows with the regulatory flood - commonly referred to as the "floodway," delineated by floodway encroachment ' lines;" and the "FP - Flood Plain District," which delineates the areas outside the floodway encroachment lines which are still subject ' to inundation by the regulatory flood. These districts are superimposed on the Zoning District Map and their provisions apply to all lands, water areas and watercourses within the City, irrespective of the 2. Zoning District classifications overlaid by the flood hazard districts. ' The uses and special exceptions herein allowed in this section are the uses of the "FW" and "FP" Districts to the extent they are not pro- hibited by any other zoning district regulation or supplementary district regulation of the zoning districts underlying said flood hazard district boundaries. 1.2 METHODOLOGY AND REFERENCES USED TO ANALYZE AND DEFINE FLOOD HAZARDS AND FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS. This ordinance uses a reasonable method ' of analyzing flood hazards which are outlined as follows: a. Selection of a regulatory flood which is based upon engineering calculations which permit a consideration of such flood factors as its expected frequency of occurrence, the area inundated and the depth of inundation. The regulatory flood selected for this ' ordinance is representative of large floods known to have occur- red in this region and which are reasonably characteristic of what can be expected to occur on the particular streams subject ' to this ordinance. It is in'the general order of a flood which could be expected to occur on the average of once every 100 t years (a one percent chance of occurring during any Year). ' b. Calculation of water surface profiles based upon a hydraulic engineering analysis of the capacity of the stream channel and ' overbank areas to convey the regulatory flood; c. Computation of the floodway required to convey this flood without ' increasing flood heights more than one (1) foot above the regu- latory flood to an extent which would cause substantial upstream or downstream damage to existing or reasonably anticipated future ' development; 3. d. Delineation of floodway encroachment lines within which no addi- tional obstruction is permitted which would cause damage or would inhibit the discharge of flood flows; ' e. Delineation of the flood plain, i.e., that area outside the flood- way encroachment lines but which is still subject to inundation by the regulatory flood; ' f. The following Flood Plain Information Reports were used in the. delineation of the Flood Hazard Districts and form the basis of ' the "FW" and "FP" District boundaries. They are hereby attached ' to and made a part.of the Zoning District Map and Zoning Ordinance by reference, including any subsequent revisions or amendments ' updating said information that may occur from time to time. Such reports shall be kept on file in the office of the City Secretary ' for public inspection: u n 0 0 1) Flood Plain Information Bear Creek, Dallas and Tarrant Counties, Texas, dated June 1971, prepared by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, Fort Worth, Texas, District; 2) Flood Boundary Delineation: Map of Flood Prone Areas Grapevine and Colleyville Quadrangles 7.5 Minute Topographic Series (1959 Base Data, Photorevised in 1968) dated 1973, prepared by the Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, of the U.

S. Army District, Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth, Texas. ' 1.3 APPLICATION, ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. No land, water, building or structure shall hereafter be used and no building or structure shall be located, extended, converted or undergo major structural alterations, ' nor shall any building permit, fill permit or certificate of occupancy be issued, nor shall any zoning district change or subdivision plat be approved without full compliance with the terms and provisions of this ' section and other applicable Zoning, Subdivision and Building Code Regulations. The City Clerk, City Engineer and the Zoning Board of Adjustment, when applicable, shall administer and enforce this section. In administering this section, the City will coordinate its administra- tion with affected neighboring jurisdictions, local, county, state and ' federal agencies to assure compatibility of related flood control, open space and flood plain management decisions and measures across juris- dictional lines and conform with applicable laws, statutes and adminis- trative rules and regulations at all governmental levels. 1.4 DESIGNATION, DETERMINATION AND INTERPRETATION OF FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. There shall be superimposed upon the Official Zoning District Map, as an overlay, the "FW - Floodway" and "FP Flood Plain" District boundary designations, as determined by the Flood Plain Information Reports hereinabove described. The boundaries ' thereof shall be determined by scaling distances on the Zoning District Map. Where interpretation is required as to the exact location of the ' boundaries of said districts then reference to the aforedescribed Flood , Plain Information Reports or other updated surveys and studies using controlling floodwater surface and land elevation data therefrom, plus interpretation and review by the City Engineer shall be made for more exact determinations. However, where a conflict arises between a mapped boundary and existing on-site field conditions, or due to more current updated information supplied by the land owner or City, then the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall make and rule on the necessary interpretation. While the regulatory flood protection elevation, for any point in question or dispute, shall be the governing factor in locating"the district boundary on the property in question, the land owner con- testing any district boundary location shall be given an opportunity to present his findings of fact to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and submit his technical evidence, if so desired. In any interpretation and application, the provisions of this section shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes. Determinations of "FW" and "FP" District boundaries shall be made in conformance with either or all of the following methods: a. By a comprehensive engineering watershed study, using technical and professionally acceptable hydrological and hydraulic criteria and procedures, of all or a part of the land embraced within the City's corporate limits and areas of extraterritorial jurisdic- tion; 6. b. By the owner's registered engineer when a subdivision plat and/or zoning district change embracing residential, commercial or indus- trial development is prepared for submission and approval by the City or when a request for a building permit or fill permit is made to the City by the Owner. The methodology used in such deter- mination shall be the same as in paragraph a. above. "FW" and "FP" district boundary lines shall correspond to the following: 1. The "FW - Floodway" district shall be bounded by the floodway encroachment lines as shown on the zoning map, by scaling distances therefrom. On the ground said boundaries shall be located by meas- uring distances perpendicular to the.floodway centerline. A reg- istered land surveyor's or engineer's description of the alignment of said centerline and limits of the floodway shall be attached by reference to, and made a part of, the Official Zoning District Map, and to any subdivision plat prepared, as such centerlines and flood- way limits are ascertained. In no case shall the boundaries of any "FW" District extend beyond the outer boundary of the "FP" District; 2. The outer "FP - Flood Plain" District boundaries shall correspond to, and be the same as, the regulatory flood elevation existing at the time of passage of this section or future amendments thereto. This elevation is further defined as being the 100-year (or one percent chance of occurring during any year) floodwater surface elevation, and/or one (1) foot below the lowest minimum floor.ele- vation of a permitted building or structure, i.e., that elevation to which uses regulated by this section are required to be elevated or floodproofed. Said minimum floor elevation shall be the govern- ing factor in locating the outer area boundary of the "FP" 'District, whereas the inner boundary shall correspond with the boundary of the "FW" District. 3. In cases where the floodway encroachment lines which govern the limits of the "FW" District have not been delineated, the land area below the minimum floor elevation shall be designated as the floodway elevation until said encroachment lines can be determined. 1.5 "FW - FLOODWAY DISTRICT" USE REGULATIONS. The regulations set forth herein are the regulations of the "FW - Floodway District." 1.5.1 Permitted Principal Uses.

In order to provide for certain uses which because of their unique character cannot be given unconditional usage within the "FP" District, the Zoning Board of Adjustment 11. i may, in conformance with this section, authorize and grant the i following "special exceptions" contingent upon reasonable and appropriate safeguards and upon determination of said exceptions not creating additional flood hazards to other private or public interests, and when allowed in the zoning district underlying the i "FP" District in which they are to be located: a. Nonresidential and accessory buildings or structures (either temporary or permanent) provided such are adequately flood-' i proofed or otherwise protected, in conformance with the i requirements outlined in the "Special Provisions" paragraph ~ i of this subsection, to a point above the regulatory flood protection elevation. b. Any "special exception" use listed under the "FW" District 1 regulations and other similar uses permitted in the zoning district underlying the "FP" District in which they are to be located, provided such will not be subjected to substantial ` flood damage nor cause additional flood hazards to other public ? or private interests. These may include uses which can be r readily removed from flood hazard areas during time of flood. In granting approval of any "special use" the Zoning Board of Adjustment may allow such uses to be located at an elevation i below the regulatory flood protection elevation upon just and reasonable cause. i C. Filling of land for any purpose. d. Solid fences or walls which are parallel to the flowline of the floodway and flood plain. 12. e.

The following special provisions apply to all lands and water areas within the "FW" and "FP" flood hazard districts: 1..7.1 Easements and Dedications. Maintenance and access easements, or dedications, for waterways, drainageways, greenbelts and the like shall be required so as to insure maintainability, and access to flood hazard areas. Likewise, easements or land dedications along either or both sides of waterways, drainageways, greenbelts, etc. for open space developments in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance shall be encouraged. Any such easements and/or land dedications shall meet the following minimum requirements: 13. i a. All and within the waterway which lies between the controlling banks of waterways or drainageways shall be dedicated to the I City so as to allow the proper protection and preservation thereof to insure unrestricted water drainage and flowage. b. Additional easements or dedications of land along and to the waterways and drainageways, where required, shall meet the following requirements: 1) A maintenance easement, with a minimum width of fifty (50) feet, shall be conveyed to the City on each side of the i required dedicated area indicated in paragraph a. above. Land dedication may be substituted in lieu of an easement at the Owner's option. 2) An o en s ace easement or dedication with a total width of 200 feet along major creeks, watercourses and drainageways i` and 150 feet along minor drainageways, exclusive of the area dedicated in paragraph a. above, shall also be encour- aged. Said easement or dedication may be coincidental with the maintenance easement described in paragraph b:l) j above and may be located entirely on one side of the, dedicated land described in paragraph a. or divided I equally between two sides. When such dedications or ease- ments are provided, the provisions of subsection 1.7.2 I may be applied. 3) Access easements of not less than 40 feet in width shall be required from adjacent public use areas and/or public streets at horizontal intervals of not less than 500 feet, for access to maintenance and/or open space easements or 14. dedications described in paragraphs b.l) and 2) above, I so as to provide sufficient ingress and egress of trucks V and equipment for maintaining flood hazard areas, and for public access to any public park or open space use created or maintained. Land dedication may be substituted in lieu, of an easement at the Owner's option. 4) Reasonable variations and modifications of the above requirements may be allowed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment upon written recommendations and concurrence by the City Engineer and City Planning and Zoning Commis- sion (or other designated board or commission such as a Parks and Recreation Board) when it can be determined that lesser or greater easement widths or dedications than herein required would be sufficient to achieve the intended purposes of both the Flood Hazard Zoning Districts and that of the City's Comprehensive Plan. c. Timing of conveyance of required easements or land dedications for maintenance, access, and/or open space purposes may be made by the land owner at any time and consummated upon approval and acceptance by the City; however, no building permits, certi- ficates of occupancy or fill permits shall be issued nor shall final approval of any change in zoning classification be made, nor shall any plat revision or final plat approval be given until any required easements or land dedications are made by the land owner in conformance with this section. 1.7.2 Density and Floor Area Ratio Bonuses; and Computation of Open Space. Land within the Flood Hazard Districts either conveyed as an easement 15. or dedicated to the City by the owner, in accordance with this section, may be counted as open space for computing density and/or open space requirements with regard to the City's Zoning Ordinance. Density and floor area ratio bonuses may be granted by the City's Planning and Zoning Commission to the land owner when such ease- ments and/or dedications are made. The extent of such bonuses shall be dependent upon the nature and amount of land granted by easements or dedications and the type of development proposed. However, in no case shall the density bonus be less than the density of development recommended by the City's Comprehensive Plan if development were to take place without such required easements, or open space dedications. 1.7.3 Fill. An application requesting any fill material proposed to be deposited or placed within the Flood Hazard Districts must first be submitted to the City Engineer for review and recommendation prior to the consideration of and issuance of a fill permit by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Prior to the issuance of such permit the proposed fill must be shown by the owner to have some beneficial purpose and the amount thereof shall not be greater than is necessary to achieve such stated purpose, as demonstrated by a plan drawn to scale of not less than V=1001, along with a sufficiently detailed narrative describing the type, quantity, compaction and dimensions of the fill material - including the uses to which the fill material will be put. Such fill or other materials shall be adequately protected against erosion or slippage by either riprap, bulkheading and/or vegetative cover, whichever 7 is approved as being the most reasonable and adequate method by the City Engineer. 16. 1.7.4_ Buildings and Structures: Te rar and Permanent. No building or structure shall be designed or occupied for human habitation within the Flood Hazard District unless such meets the re ments of this section. qurre- The design of any permitted building or structure shall be such as to afford a low flood damage Permitted buildings potential.. placed or constructed within the Flood Hazard Districts shall be positioned and oriented so as to offer the minimum degree of obstruction to the flow of flood waters, Whenever possible, buildings and structures shall be Positioned their longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of flood and so far as practicable, buildings and structures shall b Placed approximately on the same flood flow line- e s as those of any adjoining permitted structures on either end. All permitted buildings, structures and mobile homes shall be firmly secured or anchored to prevent flotation, lateral movement which may collapse or y result in damage to other structures, restriction of bridge or culvert openings and other narrow sec- dons of the watercourse, drainageway, creek, greenbelt and like, the Service facilities such as electrical and heating equipment be constructed or shall placed at or above the regulatory flood protec- tion elevation for the particular area. Permitted major repairs, alterations or enlargements o buildings or structures within the Flood Hazard of existing Districts shall 17. use construction materials and utility equipment that are resis- tant to flood damage and employ construction methods and that will minimize flood damage. Practices Construction methods and practices that will minimize flood shall be damage employed on all new construction and such shall be pro- tected from flood damage. 1. 7.5 Flood roofin All structures permitted to be erected or con- structed pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be fl°odproofed. Floodproofing measures such as the following be designed consistent with the flood protection elevation.for the particular area, flood velocities, durations rate of rise, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces and other factors associated with the regulatory rated flood. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may require that the applicant submit a plan or document certified by a registered ed professional eng ineer that the floodproof. ing measures are consistent with the regulatory flood protection el - vation and associated flood factors for the particular area, e following floodproofing measures may The y be required, without limita- tion because of specific enumeration: a. Anchorage to resist flotation and lateral movement. b. Installation of watertight doors, bulkheads and shutters. C. Reinforcement of walls to resist water pressure. d. Use of paints, membranes or mortars to reduce see a water through walls. p fie of e. Addition of mass or weight to structures to resist flotation f. Installation of pumps to lower water levels in structures i r 18. OR g• Construction of water supply and waste treatment as to prevent the systems so entrance of flood waters. h' Pumping facilities for subsurface external foundation wall and basement floor pressures. i• Construction to resist rupture or collapse caused by water pressure or floating debris. j• Cutoff valves on sewer lines or the elimination of gravity flow basement drains. k• Elevation of structures and uses to the regulatory flood Protection elevation. 1• Floodproofing by use of levees dikes, berms or similar means must meet the requirements of state statutes and shall not create additional flood hazards to other public or interests. Private 1•7•6 St_ge of Materials and uirment. The storage or materials processing of that are buoyant flammable, explosive or could injurious to human, animal or be plant life in time of flooding is expressly prohibited. Storage of other material or equipment when otherwise permitted may be allowed if such is not subject to major dama and is firmly secured to ge by floods, prevent flotation, collapse or lateral. movement or such can be readily removable fro the limited time available after flood warn, from the area within 1.7.7 Water Su 1 and log. , Sanitar Sewa a Facilities. New or re water supply and sanitary sewage facilities shall be designed and installed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into water systems and discharges from sewage systems into flood 19. i ~I waters. Land developments with planned on-site waste disposal sys- tems shall be approved only where the system can be designed, I' located and constructed or placed so as to avoid impairment or con- tamination of such facilities during flooding. These requirements are applicable as a part of subdivision plat approval and/.or in I connection with the issuance of a building permit. 1.7.8 Proof of Concurrence of Fill Land Use or Development, b Other I' Agencies. In cases where the use of land, placement of fill or other development is proposed in a designated Flood Hazard District, the City or Zoning Board of Adjustment may, at its discretion, require ~ proof of concurrence by the Water Rights Commission and/or the Texas Water Development Board Pursuant to V.T.C.S. and the Texas Water Code. The City and/or Zoning Board of Adjustment shall adhere to all Texas statutory and constitutional requirements when rendering any decision or issuing any applicable permit. 1.8 SPECIAL EXCEPTION PERMITS FOR FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS. 1.8.1 Application and Procedures. Application for any special use listed listed in this subsection as requiring a "Special Exception Permit" may be allowed only upon application by the land owner to the r Zoning Administrator, on forms furnished by said person, and upon issuance of a "Special Exception Permit" by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Upon receipt of the application, the Zoning Admin- istrator shall forthwith submit one copy to the City Engineer (for t his review and recommendation to the Zoning Board of Adjustment) and one copy to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. One copy shall be kept on file in the office of the City Secretary for purposes of general I 20. Public information.

Upon receipt of an appli- cation for a "Special Use Permit" involving land use, placement of fill, construction of levees, dikes, berms or similar flood- proofing means, construction or alteration of new or existing buildings and structures including their accessory uses or storage of materials and equipment, the Board may, prior to rendering a decision thereon and upon recommendation from the City Engineer: a. Require the applicant to submit, where applicable, plans in triplicate drawn to scale of not_ less than 111=100' in plan and other appropriate scale drawings showing the nature, location, dimensions and elevation of the lot, existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, floodproofing measures and the relationship of the above to the location of the channel and floodway and the regulatory flood elevation. b. Transmit where necessary one copy of the information described in section a. to any other designated person or agency from which the Board of Adjustment may request expert technical assistance in evaluating the proposed project in relation to flood heights and velocities, the seriousness of flood damage to the use, the adequacy of the plans for protection and other technical matters. c. Require, where special circumstances necessitate more detailed information, the applicant to furnish the following additional 21. information as deemed necessary by the Board for the evaluation of the effects of the proposed use upon flood flows and other factors necessary to render a decision on the suitability of the proposed use: l) 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; delineation of the floodway encroachment lines and "FP" District boundaries, when involved; pertinent struc- tares, fill, or storage elevations; size, location and spatial arrangement of all proposed and existing structures on the site; location and elevations of streets, water supply, sanitary facilities; photographs showing existing land uses and vegetation upstream and downstream; and soil types and other pertinent information. , t i 3) Profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel or flow line of the stream; and water surface elevation of the 100-year regulatory flood, from official maps and i data. 4) Specifications for building construction and materials, floodproofing, filling, dredging, grading, channel improve- . , ment, storage of materials, water supply and sanitary facilities. 22. 1.8.3 Factors For Consideration of A roval, In applications passing upon such the Zoning Board of Adjustment consideration to the following. shall give due a• The danger to life and propert or velocities caused b y due to increased flood he by encroachments. ghts b• The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or downstream to the injury of others. c• The proposed water supply and sanitation systems of these systems to and the ability prevent disease, contamination and tary conditions. unsani- d• The susceptibility of the proposed facilit flood d y and its contents to amage and the effect of such owner damage on the ' . individual e• The importance of the services provided by the to the community. Proposed facility f• The requirements of the facility for a waterfront or flood plain location. g• The availability of alternative locations not sub' flooding for the proposed use. )ect to h• The compatibility of the proposed use with existin inept and development anticipated in the g develop_ 1' The relationshi foreseeable future. p of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plain management Program f J• The or the area. safety of access to the property In ti ordinar mes of flood or for y emergency vehicles. k• The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at: the site 23. 1. Such other factors which are relevant to the purpose of this section. 1.8.4ecial Conditions or is Be Attached and. Made Part of an Approved Special Use Permit. Upon due consideration of the factors listed above and the purposes and intent of this section, the Zoning Board of Adjustment may attach such reasonable conditions and safeguards to the granting of any Special Use Permit as it deems necessary to further said ordinance purposes and intent. These conditions and safeguards, without specific enumeration, may include but need not be limited to a. Modification of waste disposal and water supply facilities. b. Limitations on periods of use and operation. C. Imposition of operational controls, sureties and deed restrictions. d. Requirements for construction of channel modifications, dikes, levees and other protective measures. e. Floodproofing measures, as described in this subsection. f. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill, including fill for roads and levees, deposit, obstruction, storage of materials or equipment, or other uses shall be permitted which, acting alone or in combination with existing or future uses, unduly affects the efficiency or the capacity of the floodway or unduly increases flood heights above the minimum building elevation. Consideration of the effects of a proposed use shall be based on a reasonable assumption that there will be an equal degree of encroachment extending for a significant reach on both sides of the stream, waterway, drainage way or greenbelt. 24. g. Proof of concurrence by the Texas Water Rights Commission and/or the Texas Water Development Board Pursuant to their authorities specified in V.T.C.S. and the Texas Water Code, for the use of land, placement of fill or other proposed'devel- opment of a permanent or temporary nature within a flood hazard area. 1.9 ABROGATION AND GREATER RESTRICTIONS. It is not intended by this s ection to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this section shall prevail. All other ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with this section are hereby repealed and superseded to the extent of the inconsistency only. 1.10 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. The degree of flood protection required by this section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on sound engineering and scientific methods of study and application. Larger floods than herein described and provided for may occur on rare occasions or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as bridge or culvert openings becoming restricted by debris. This ordinance does not imply that areas outside "floodwayll and "flood plain" district boundaries or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordinance shall not create a liability on the part of the City or any officer or employee or paid consultant thereof for any flood damages that may result from reliance on or compliance with this ordinance, or any administrative decision lawfully rendered thereunder. 1.11 DEFINITIONS. Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this section shall be interpreted so as to give them the same meaning 25. i as they have in common usage and so as to give this section its most reasonable application: 1.11.1 Buildings and Structures. Anything constructed or erected, on f' the ground or attached to the ground, including but without limiting the generality of the foregoing: buildings, factories, i sheds, cabins mobile homes, bridges, towers, streets and other similar items. 1.11.2 Easement. A right, either in the public generally or in private entities or persons, to the use of a piece or parcel of land for a special purpose, including the location of utilities, storm drains or access, which right may include the use of the surface, subsurface and/or the air space over such land. 1.11.3 Easement Maintenance. An easement to provide for the maintain- l ability of all or part of the floodway and/or flood plain.. 1.11.4 Easement Access Watercourse and Greenbelt. An easement for access to the floodwa I y and/or flood plain and to provide .for the conservation of drainageways, waterways and greenbelts I throughout the City. 1.11.5 Encroachment Lines. Limits of obstruction to flood flows. These lines are generally parallel to the stream. The lines are estab- lished by assuming that the area landward f (outside) of the encroachment lines will ultimately be developed in such a way that it will not be available to convey flood flows. If hydrau- lic efficiency of the floodway is maintained by protecting it against unnecessary encroachments, it will be adequate toconvey I the regulatory flood without resulting in an increase in flood ii elevations which would cause damage to existing or future devel- opment. i 26. f t 1.11.6 Equal Degree of Encroachment. A standard applied to the evalua- tion of the effects of special exceptions on increases in flood heights. It assumes that an encroachment if permitted may confer on all property owners on both sides of the stream an equal right to encroach to the same degree within that reach. Since the factors affecting hydraulic efficiency are usually not uniform within a reach, this will usually not result in equal distances between encroachment lines and the sides of the stream. 1.11.7 Flood. A temporary rise in stream flow or stage that results in water overtopping its banks and inundating areas adjacent to the channel. 1.11.8 Floodwav. The channel of a stream, creek watercourse or drain- ageway and adjacent land areas which are required to carry and discharge the flood water or flood flows of any river or stream associated with the regulatory flood with an allowable maximum increase in water surface elevation above the regulatory flood of one (1) foot. 1.11.9 Flood Plain. That area outside the floodway which is still subject to inundation by the regulatory flood. 1.11.10 Floodproofing. A combination of structural provisions, changes, or adjustment to properties and structures subject to flooding primarily for the reduction or elimination of flood damages to properties, water and sanitary facilities, structures, and contents of buildings in a flood hazard area. 1.11.11 Minimum Floor Elevation. The lowest building floor elevation to which uses regulated by this ordinance are required to be 27. elevated or floodproofed. This elevation would be equal to the elevation that could be reached by the regulatory flood if it occurred under conditions existing at the time this ordinance was passed, plus one (1) foot to allow for encroachments permitted by the establishment of floodways, i.e., Minimum Floor Elevation equals Regulatory Flood Elevation plus one (1) foot. 1.11.12 Obstruction. Any dam, wall, wharf, embankment, levee, dike pile, abutment , projection, excavation, channel rectification, bridge conduit, culvert, building, wire, fence, rock, gravel, refuse, fill, structure or matter in, along, across or projecting into any channel, watercourse or regulatory flood hazard area which may impede, retard or change the direction of the flow of water, either in itself or by catching or collecting debris carried by such water, or that is placed where the flow of water might carry the same downstream to the damage of life or property, 1.11.13 Person. Any natural person, firm, partnership, association or corporation; however, this definition does not include any governmental unit. 1.11.14 Reach. A hydraulic engineering term to describe longitudinal segments of a stream or river. A reach will generally include the segment of the flood hazard area where flood heights are primarily controlled by man-made or natural obstructions or constructions. In an urban area an example of a reach would be the segment of a stream or river between two consecutive bridge crossings. 1.11.15 Regulatory Flood. The regulatory flood is a flood which is rep- resentative of large floods known to have occurred generally in, 28. the area and reasonably characteristic of what can be expected to occur on a particular stream. The regulatory flood generally has an average frequency in the order of the 100-year interval flood (one P recurrence ercent chance of occurring during any year) determined from an analysis of floods on a other streams and water impoundments particular in the same 1.11.16 Regulator Flood Protection general region. Elevation. The elevation to which the lowest floor of uses regulated by this ordinance are to be elevated or floodproofed. required 1.11.17 Structure. See "Buildings and Structure s.
