The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation shall <br /> be an elevation no lower than one foot above the elevation of the regional flood <br /> plus any increases in flood elevations caused by encroachments on the floodplain that <br /> result from designation of a floodway. The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for <br /> West Twin Lake, which is an approximate A zone without a regional/base flood elevation <br /> published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, shall be elevation 930.1 <br /> (National Geodetic Vertical Datum, 1929 Adjustment). <br /> 9oZ_PZ.

Defining the <br /> flood fringe district boundary and a regulatory flood protection elevation for West Twin Lake, as <br /> I have recommended above, will obviate the need for the city to adopt lengthy and complicated <br /> administrative procedures in the ordinance language to do this same thing. <br /> The Department of Natural Resources would consider.adoption of the aforementioned proposed <br /> ordinance amendments for the City of Elk River as compliant with"Statewide Standards and <br /> Criteria for Management of Floodplain Areas of Minnesota."
