No manufactured homes shall be permitted except replacement manufactured homes <br />in an existing manufactured home ~rark or subdivision provided the following <br />provisions are met: <br />a. The anchorite and elevation standards of Section 42-92(31; and <br />b. The no encroachment standard of Section 42-94b(2) are met. <br />Sec. 42-94c. Standards for Floodplains without Established Base Flood Elevations. <br />Within the SFHAs established in Section 42-.37, where no BFE data has been provided, the <br />following provisions shall apply: <br />1. No encroachments including fill new construction substantial improvements or new <br />development shall be permitted within a distance of twenty feet each side from top of <br />bank or five times the width of the stream whichever is erecter unless certification with <br />supporting technical data by a North Carolina licensed Professional Engineer is <br />~i-ovided demonstrating that such encroachments shall not result in any increase in <br />flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. <br />2. If the requirements of Section 42-94(1) are adhered to and BFE data are available_from <br />or flood proofed according to elevations established according to Section 42-69(11/12)1 <br />When BFE data are not available from a federal state, or other source, the reference <br />level including basement shall be elevated at least two (2') feet above the HAG. <br />Sec. 42-95.

The following provisions shall apply within such areas: <br />1. All new construction and substantial improvements of all structures shall have the lowest <br />floor, including basement, elevated to the depth number specified on the FIRM, in feet, <br />above the highest adjacent grade.

All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures shall have <br />the option, in lieu of elevation, to be completely flood proofed together with attendant <br />utilities and sanitary facilities to or above that level so that any space below that level is the <br />e-watertight with walls <br />substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the <br />iJr.~lci i Y ii n.n;;t ~. .-. i 1I i.i .3 i.r-~d~ <,1': ~,i~u ~ ~ a~a: <br />
