IMOMM <br /> 25 <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. <br /> 6. FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS <br /> (Complete narrative is an attachment to these minutes) <br /> The presentation was made by Greg Szymick. <br /> On August 25, 1986, the Federal Emergency Management Agency <br /> (FEMA) published final rules revising National Flood Insurance Program <br /> (NFIP) criteria. The criteria became effective October 1, 1986 and <br /> require, as a continued validity, that communities revise their <br /> floodplain management regulations to make them consistent with NFIP <br /> criteria within six months of the effective date. <br /> Orange County's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance must be <br /> revised to bring it into compliance no later than April 1, 1987. <br /> The proposed revisions provide for: changes in the <br /> definitions of "mobile homes" (now "manufactured homes") and "start of <br /> construction" ; flood proofing of mechanical and utility equipment; the <br /> use of openings in enclosures below a structure's lowest floor; the use <br /> of available flood data; and certification of floor elevations. <br /> WITH NO PUBLIC COMMENTS, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commis- <br /> sioner Carey to refer the proposed amendments to the Flood Damage <br /> Prevention Ordinance to the Planning Board for their recommendation to <br /> the Board of Commissioners on March 24, 1987. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. <br /> With no further business to come before the Boards, the meeting was <br /> adjourned at 12 : 30 a.m. The next regular meeting of the Board of <br /> Commissioners will be held on March 2, 1987, 7: 30 p.m. in the courtroom <br /> of the Old Courthouse, Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br /> Beverly A. Blythe, Clerk Shirley E. Marshall, Chair <br /> Joanna Bradshaw, Admin. Secretary <br />
