NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM <br /> COMMUNITY FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS REVIEW CHECKLIST <br /> Community: Orange County C.LD: 370342 State:North Carolina <br /> Reviewed by: Date of Review: <br /> Some of the items that exceed the minimum requirement: <br /> 1. Orange County has a 2.0 foot freeboard requirement in areas with a BFE developed. <br /> 2. New fill material in any SFHA is prohibited(Division 3-Sec.42-91:15.) <br /> 3. New construction in the SFHA is prohibited(residential and non-residential(Division 3-Sec.42-92:1. and 2.)) <br /> 4. Most emergency and critical care facilities are prohibited in the SFHA(Division 3-Sec.42-91:13.) <br /> 5. Any inhabited structure in the SFHA shall have unobstructed dry access during a regulatory flood event(Division 3-Sec.42-91:14). <br /> 6. The ordinance requires BFE data to be submitted for all development proposals in the SFHA(Division 3-Sec.42-93:3.).However,in <br /> Sec.42-94:4. (Zone A section)there is the condition that a BFE needs to be provided only if the"...development exceeds 50 lots/units <br /> or 5 acres".This is an apparent contradiction. <br /> 7. Only replacement manufactured homes are allowed in the floodway if they comply with the standards of 42-93:3. and 42-94b.:1. and 2. <br /> No new manufactured home placement is allowed in the floodway. <br /> 11/12/2008 <br /> 16 of 16 <br />
