Councilmember Bastian wished to state that he appreciated the
work that Staff, the residents and the labor communities showed
in this project. It is a good example that where there is a '
- problem, people can sit down, look at it and come up with a good
resolution that not only can help our community,but can help
other communities that may face the same situation. In our seven
county area we have unemployment, we have people looking for work,
and we aresaying at best, we will assist that, but he thinks this

(a) Statutory authorization. The Legislature of the State of Minnesota
has, in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 104 and Chapter 462, delegated the author-
ity to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to minimize
flood losses. Chapter 104 of Minnesota Statutes further stipulates that com-
munitiessubject to recurrent flooding must participate and maintain eligi-
bility in the National Flood Insurance Program. Therefore, the City does
- ordain this ordinance.
(b) Statement of purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to maintain
the community's eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program and to
minimize potential losses due to periodic flooding, including loss of life,
loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption Ctif commerce and gov-
ernmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection
and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the
public health, safety and general welfare. '
(c) Warning of disclaimer of liability. This ordinance does not imply
that areas outside of the flood plain district or land uses permitted within
such districts will be free from flooding and flood damages. This ordinance
shall not create liability on the part of the City or any officer or employee
thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this ordinance or
any administrative decisions lawfully made thereunder.
Sec. 36-497. General Provisions
(a) Adoptzon of the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The Flood Insurance Rate
Map for the City, dated August 5, 1986, developed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, is hereby adopted by reference as the Official Flood Plain
Zoning District Map and made apart of this ordinance.
(b) Lands to which ordinance applies. This ordinance shall apply to all
lands designated as flood plain within the jurisdiction o~ the City.
(c) Interpretation. The boundaries of the flood plain district shall be
determined by scaling distances on the Official Flood Plain Zoning District
Map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries
of the flood plain district, the Director of Community Development shall make
the necessary interpretation based on elevations on the regional (100 year)
flood profile, if available. If 100-year flood elevations are not available,
the City shall:
- 5 - 7/28
(1) Require a flood plain evaluation consistent with Sections 36-499
(c) (1) of this ordinance to determine a 100-year flood elevation
for the site; or
(2) Base its decision on available hydraulic/hydrologicor site eleva-
tion survey data which demonstrates the likelihood the site is within
or outside of the flood plain.
(d) Definitions. Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases
used in this ordinance shall be interpreted so as to give them the same meaning
as they have in common usage and so as to give this ordinance its most reasonable
application:
Flood fringe: That portion of the flood plain outside of the
floodway.
Flood plain: The are asadjoining a watercourse or lake which have
been or hereafter may be covered by the regional flood. Flood plain
areas within the City shall encompass all areas designated as Zone A

adjoining flood plain which are reasonably required to carry or store
the discharge of the regional flood.

across or projecting into any channel, watercourse, lake bed or regu-
latory flood plain which may impede, retard or change the direction '
- of flow in itself or by catching or collecting debris carried by flood
- water.
Regional flood: A flood which is representative of large floods
known to have occurred generally in Minnesota and reasonably charac-
teristic of what can be expected to occur on an average frequency in
magnitude of 100-year recurrence interval. Regional flood is synony-
mous with the term "base flood" used in the Flood Insurance Rate Map.

one foot above the elevation of the regional flood plus any increases
in~flood elevation caused by encroachments on the flood plain that re-
suit from designation of a floodway.
