This does not include the transforming of raw product to allow for the development of <br />a product.

Does not include <br />the manufacturing of leather into products for eventual sale or distribution. <br />Length of Wall <br />The horizontal distance from corner to corner. Where walls in continuous general frontage (as in the case <br />of attached dwellings) are off-set by angles or setbacks of six feet or more, the length of each segment so <br />set off shall be measured separately in establishing pertinent yard depth. Length of the wall of a circular <br />building shall be construed as the diameter of the building. <br />Letter of Map Change (LOMC) <br />An official determination issued by FEMA that amends or revises an effective Flood Insurance Rate Map <br />or Flood Insurance Study. Letters of Map Change include: <br />(a) Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA): An official amendment, by letter, to an effective National <br />Flood Insurance Program map. A LOMA is based on technical data showing that a property <br />had been inadvertently mapped as being in the floodplain, but is actually on natural high <br />ground above the base flood elevation. A LOMA amends the current effective Flood <br />Insurance Rate Map and establishes that a specific property, portion of a property, or <br />structure is not located in a special flood hazard area. <br />(b) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR): A revision based on technical data that may show changes <br />to flood zones, flood elevations, special flood hazard area boundaries and floodway <br />delineations, and other planimetric features. <br />(c) Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F): A determination that a structure or parcel of <br />land has been elevated by fill above the BFE and is, therefore, no longer located within the <br />special flood hazard area. In order to qualify for this determination, the fill must have been <br />permitted and placed in accordance with the community’s floodplain management <br />regulations. <br />(d) Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR): A formal review and comment as to whether a <br />proposed project complies with the minimum NFIP requirements for such projects with <br />respect to delineation of special flood hazard areas. A CLOMR does not revise the effective <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map or Flood Insurance Study; upon submission and approval of <br />certified as-built documentation, a Letter of Map Revision may be issued by FEMA to revise <br />the effective FIRM. <br />Level of Service <br />A qualitative measure that describes the operational conditions or a road or intersection, as defined by <br />the Highway Capacity Manual. The various service levels are defined by a range from A to F, with A <br />representing free flow traffic conditions and F representing stop-and-go traffic. <br />Light, Flashing <br />A light that intermittently flashes on and off. <br />Light Source <br />The point of origin illumination emanates; usually a lamp.
