Subd. 1 Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact and Purpose. A. Statutory Authorization. The legislature of the State of Minnesota has, in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103F and Chapter 462, delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood losses. Therefore, the Council does adopt this Subsection 850.21. B. Findings of Fact. In addition to the findings set forth in Subsection 850.01 of this Code, it is hereby further found and declared that: 1. The flood hazard areas of the City are subject to periodic inundation which results in potential loss of life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. 2. This Subsection 850.21 is based upon a reasonable method of analyzing flood hazards which is consistent with the standards established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 3. Lands within floodplains, as hereafter defined, in the City, in their natural state, are a valuable land resource. 4. Development within any such floodplain must be regulated on the basis of, and with full consideration of, the impact on the whole of that floodplain and on the watercourses and water bodies of that floodplain. 5. Such lands are or may be subject to loss or impairment of value and physical degradation through uncoordinated and unplanned development. 6. Such lands are necessary and desirable to avoid rapid runoff of surface 850-102 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina ' Land Use,Platting and Zoning 850.21 waters, to prevent polluting materials from being carried directly into the watercourse or water body, to preserve adequate ground water infiltration, to protect surface and ground water supplies, and to minimize the possibility of periodic flooding. C. Statement of Purpose. It is the purpose of this Subsection 850.21 to guide and regulate the orderly development of such lands to ensure maintenance and preservation, in their natural state, of needed and desirable natural water storage areas, and watercourses and water bodies and their shorelines and adjacent vegetation and topography and to minimize the possibility of, and pollution and losses resulting from, runoff and flooding, all thereby to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

All flood fringe conditional uses shall be subject to the procedures and standards contained in paragraphs D. and E. of this Subd. 6, and in paragraph H. of Subd. 10 of this Subsection 850.21. D. Standards for Flood Fringe District Conditional Uses. 1. Methods other than the use of fill may be used to elevate a structure's 850-109 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina Land Use, Platting and Zoning 850.21 lowest floor above the regulatory flood protection elevation. These alternative methods may include the use of such things as stilts, pilings and parallel walls, or above-grade, enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck-under garages. The base or floor of an enclosed area shall be considered above-grade and not a structure's basement or lowest floor if. (i) the enclosed area is above-grade on at least one side of the structure; (ii) it is designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; and (iii) it is used solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage. The above-noted alternative elevation methods are subject to the following additional standards: a. Design and Certification. The structure's design and as-built condition must be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as being in compliance with the general design standards of the Building Code, and specifically, that all electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities are at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or that the structure is designed and has been constructed so as to prevent flood water from entering or accumulating within the structure during times of flooding. b. Specific Standards for Above-grade, Enclosed Areas. Above grade, fully enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck-under garages must be designed to internally flood and the design plans must stipulate: (i) the minimum area of openings in the walls where internal flooding is to be used as a flood proofing technique. When openings are placed in a structure's walls to provide for entry of flood waters to equalize pressures, the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one-foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices, provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters. (ii) that the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant materials in accordance with the FP-3 or FP-4 classifications in the Building Code, and shall be used solely for building access, parking of vehicles or storage. 2. Basements shall be subject to the following: a. residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation. b. non-residential basements may be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation, provided the basement is structurally dry by being floodproofed in accordance with subparagraph 3. of 850-110 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina Land Use, Platting and Zoning 850.21 paragraph D. of this Subd. 6. 3. All areas of non-residential structures, including basements, to be placed below the regulatory flood protection elevation shall be floodproofed in accordance with the structurally dry floodproofing classifications in the Building Code. Structurally dry flood proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2 floodproofing classification in the Building Code, which shall require making the structure watertight with the walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. Structures floodproofed only to the FP-3 or FP-4 classification in the Building Code shall not be permitted. 4. When at any one time more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill or other similar material is located on a parcel for such activities as on-site storage, landscaping, sand and gravel operations, landfills, roads, dredge spoil disposal or construction of flood control works, an erosion/sedimentation control plan must be submitted to and approved by the Planner. The plan must clearly specify methods to be used to stabilize the fill on site for a flood event of at least the regional flood event. The plan must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or other qualified individual acceptable to the Planner. The plan may incorporate alternative procedures for removal of the material from the floodplain if adequate flood warning time exists. Compliance with such approved plan shall be a condition to any conditional use permit issued. 5. Storage of Materials and Equipment: a. the storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. b. storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the Planner. 6. The provisions of paragraph E. of this Subd. 6 shall also apply. E. Standards Applicable to All Flood Fringe District Uses: 1. All principal structures constructed, erected or placed in the flood fringe after the effective date of this Section must have vehicular access at or above an elevation not more than two feet below the regulatory flood protection elevation. If a variance to this requirement is granted, the Board must specify limitations on the period of use or occupancy of the structure during times of flooding and only after determining that adequate flood warning time and local flood emergency response procedures exist. 2. Accessory commercial uses of land, such as yards, railroad tracks, and 850-111 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina Land Use, Platting and Zoning 850.21 parking lots, may be at elevations lower than the regulatory flood protection elevation. However, a permit allowing such facilities to be used by employees or the general public shall not be granted unless there is a flood warning system that will provide adequate time for evacuation if the area is about to be inundated to a depth greater than two feet or to be subject to flood velocities greater than four feet per second. 3. For manufacturing and industrial uses measures shall be taken to minimize interference with normal plant operations, especially along streams having protracted flood durations. Accessory land uses such as yards and parking lots may be at lower elevations than the regulatory flood protection elevation, subject to requirements set out in subparagraph 2. of paragraph E. of this Subd. 6. 4. Fill allowed by this ordinance shall be properly compacted and the slopes shall be properly protected by the use of riprap, vegetative cover or other method acceptable to the Planner. 5. Floodplain developments shall not adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the channel and adjoining floodplain of any tributary watercourse or drainage system where a floodway or other encroachment limit has not been specified on the Map. 6. All manufactured homes must be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system that resists flotation, collapse and lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable State or City anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces. 7. No use shall be allowed as a permitted or conditional use unless such use has received all required approvals from all other governmental bodies having jurisdiction. Subd. 7 Subdivisions. No land shall be platted or subdivided, as defined in Section 810 of this Code, which is determined by the City to be unsuitable for platting or subdivision by reason of potential flooding, inadequate drainage, water supply or sewage treatment facilities. Each lot within the Floodplain District shall contain a building site at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. All plats and subdivisions shall have water and sewage treatment facilities that comply with the provisions of this and other applicable provisions of this Code. All plats and subdivisions shall have road access both to the plat and subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower than two feet below the regulatory flood protection elevation. For all subdivisions in the Floodplain District, the regulatory flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all access roads shall be clearly labeled on all required subdivision maps, surveys and documents submitted to the City, and also, to the extent permitted by law, on those recorded or filed with Hennepin County. Subd. 8 Public Utilities, Railroads, Roads and Bridges. A. Public Utilities. All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, 850-112 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina ' Land Use, Platting and Zoning 850.21 and water supply systems now or hereafter located in the floodplain shall be floodproofed in accordance with the City's Building Code or elevated to above the regulatory flood protection elevation. B. Public Transportation Facilities. Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges now or hereafter located in the floodplain shall comply with Subd. 5 of this Subsection 850.21 if in the Floodway District, and with Subd. 6 of this Subsection 850.21 if in the Flood Fringe District. Elevation to the regulatory flood protection elevation shall be provided where failure or interruption of these transportation facilities would result in danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are essential to the orderly functioning of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or railroads may be constructed at a lower elevation where failure or interruption of transportation services would not endanger the public health or safety. C. On-site Sewage Treatment and Water Supply Systems. New or replacement water supply systems or sanitary sewerage systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into such systems. Sanitary sewerage systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate discharges from such systems into flood waters. On-site waste disposal systems must be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. Any sewage treatment system designed in accordance with the State's current statewide standards for on-site sewage treatment systems shall be determined to be in compliance with this Subsection 850.21. Where a public sanitary sewer line, or public water line, is available to serve the parcel where the on-site sewage treatment or water supply system is located, the on-site systems shall be discontinued and connection shall be made pursuant to Section 445 of this Code. Subd. 9 Manufactured Homes. A. The placement of new or replacement manufactured homes in the Flood Fringe District will be treated as a new structure and may be placed only if elevated in compliance with Subd. 6 this Subsection 820.21. B. All manufactured homes must be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system that resists flotation, collapse and lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable State or City anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces. Subd. 10 Administration. A. Planner. The Planner shall administer and enforce this Subsection 850.21. B. Permits and Variances Required; Grounds for Variances. A conditional use permit or variance shall be applied for and obtained pursuant hereto prior to the construction, erection, addition, alteration or change of use of any obstruction wholly or partly in the Floodplain District which is not a permitted use or which does not comply with all the requirements of this Subsection 850.21, and prior to the change of use of any land, which use is wholly or partly in the Floodplain District which is 850-113 Supplement 2001-1 City of Edina Land Use, Platting and Zoning 850.21 not a permitted use or which does not comply with all of the requirements of this Subsection 850.21. Variances may be granted only in the event that strict enforcement of the literal provisions of this Subsection 850.21 will cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and only if the action allowed by such variance will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this Section 850. Undue hardship shall have the same meaning, and shall be interpreted in the same way, as in Subd. 1 of Subsection 850.04. C. Applications for Conditional Use Permits and Variances. Applications for conditional use permits and variances under this Subsection 850.21 shall be made, in duplicate, by the owner or owners of the land, to the Planner, on forms furnished by the Planner, and shall be accompanied initially by such of the following information, data and plans as is deemed necessary by the Planner for determining compliance with this Subsection 850.21, evaluating the application and determining the effects of the proposed activity on the creek, marshes, wet areas and water bodies in the Floodplain District and the suitability of the particular site for the proposed improvement, use, obstruction or variance.
