Floodplain administrator requires base‑flood elevations and volume‑sensitive calculations
Summary
Floodplain administration told the applicant to show FEMA panel 316F details and identify base flood elevations for unnumbered portions of the property; cut/fill and water‑quality treatment calculations will be required because the site is in a volume‑sensitive area.
KDP, acting as floodplain administrator, told the applicant that part of the parcel falls on FEMA Panel 316F and that a LOMAR affects part of the property. "It has a LOMAR on part of it but the other unnumbered portion will need those base flood elevations identified," KDP said and asked that effective flood hazard information be shown on the plans.
KDP also said the site lies in a volume‑sensitive area and will require cut/fill calculations to satisfy the applicable code section and that straight water‑quality treatment calculations are required (BMPs for nitrogen and phosphorus were "not at this time" required). The committee advised the applicant to include those calculations and floodplain acreage on the SEP and on subsequent engineering plans.
