NO. OF LOTS: 1 FT. OF NEW ST.: 0
PROPOSED USES: Commercial
STAFF REPORT:
This plan was originally submitted for review by the
Commission on March 15, 1983, and denied because of the
location of the temporary structures and parking in the
floodway and the Parks Department's plan for acquisition.
Specifications of this plan are generally the same as
previously proposed (see attached).
Engineering reports that:
(1) The development is subject to floodway ordinances,
including setback from the floodway;
(2) Structures to be at elevation of 1' above 100-Year
Flood and to be secured to the ground;
(3) Parking will not be permitted in floodway unless
engineer's calculations are submitted to prove that the
parking area meets the October 1983, Floodway
Ordinance; and
(4) Request design of driveway be submitted to the City
Traffic Engineer and AHTD for approval.
Staff reserves comment on this item until further comments
are received relative to its status from the City Attorney.

Item No. 10-_Continued
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
(1) Show line of floodway limits.
(2) State on plat the required flood or flood proofed
elevation of 260.6 m.s.l.
ANALYSIS:
This proposal represents an attempt, by the applicant, to
make use of land that is not suitable for most purposes, due
to its existing condition. The plan dictates the
construction of 49 small buildings entirely in the
floodplain. Much of the remaining property is in the
floodway of Fourche Creek. The creek borders the property
from its northeastern to southwestern points.
As submitted, the site plan does not meet the usual
requirement of 10' between detached buildings. Due to the
unique nature of this proposal, 10' may not be needed.
Staff suggests that the applicant submit a plat of the area,
permanently setting the setbacks at the buildable area.
Also, unit typicals on sections indicating the building's
to structural elevations should be submitted to give some idea
of physical appearance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
A motion was made for approval, subject to the submission of
a one -lot final plat showing the proper floodway information
requested by Enqineering and a plan showing typicals of the
buildings. The motion passed by a vote of: 2 ayes, 0 noes,
3 absent.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. Staff
reported that the applicant had submitted a one lot final
plat indicating the setbacks, floodway and buildable area,
but not unit typicals. The staff modified its
recommendation by requesting that the item be deferred until
the City Board establisher) a policy on the acquisition of
area in the floodplain.

Item No.1/)- Continued
A lengthy discussion was held during which several arguments
against developing on this site were raised. Mainly, they
focused on the Parks Department's plan for acquiring
floodway lands so as to limit development on such sites and
maintain control of the floodway, and the potential danger
being created by the approval of temporary structures and
parking in the floodway. A motion was made and passed to
deny the request as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 7
ayes, 1 no, 2 absent and 1 abstention.
