Basically, the two alternatives <br /> are Alternative B, which would allow no development within the flood plain <br /> or Alternative A, which would allow some development provided the first <br /> floor elevation is higher the Base Flood elevation (Alternative A is contained <br /> in Section 4.2 of the draft ordinance) Alternative B would require few changes <br /> in the attached ordinance. The major changes would occur in Article 4, Section <br /> 4.3 which would read: <br /> 4.3 Construction within Floodwa s and Flood.lains Restricted <br /> a. No structure may be constructed and no substantial improvement of an <br /> existing structure may take place within any floodway of floodplain, <br /> other than allowed in 4.2; <br /> Section 4.3 (h), 4,3 (c), and 4.3 (d) woulrd be deleted under Alternative <br /> „•• <br /> B. <br /> /le <br /> 1 <br />
