In general the Orange County ordinance mirrors the wording used in the North Carolina state model ordinance. The items not found in the ordinance or found, e�de rent ar ,,r -Item numbers 8, 10, 11;T2,e),and 36 were not found. -Item 13 (definitions)is missing some of the terms that are used in the ordinance or the definition is not adequate for floodplain management purposes. The missing or deficient definitions are listed under item 13. -Item 5 and 20(b)are deficient. Item 5 could be fine but the copy of the ordinance reviewed is not signed or dated.Also the ordinance found on Orange County website is the August 28, 1995 version. Item 20(b)is not clearly addressed. 2. The County includes an"Automatic adoption"provision in its ordinance. Ordinances containing the automatic adoption provisions were determined by the State Office of the Attorney General(September 14,2005) to not be compliant. The language in Section 42-38 should be revised to remove references to the FHBM and FBFM. While the County may leave in the automatic adoption language, this section must also reference the recently effective map panel(3710989000)dated May 16,2008. 3. There is an apparent contradiction in the ordinance between 42-92:1.which prohibits new construction in the SFHA and 42-92:3.a. which states that: "New or replacement manufactured homes shall be elevated...". 4. The reference in Division 3-Sec.42-94b. (Floodway and non-encroachment areas)to the section identifying the SFHA is incorrect. It should reference Section 42-38 not 42-37. 5. There are several references made to Section 3.2.This is the section from the previous ordinance and is now Section 42-38. The references to Section 3.2 should be corrected. 11/12/2008 15of16 co
