will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or <br /> exceeded in any given year.The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the <br /> base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones Al-A30, <br /> Zone AE, Zone A99,Zone AR, Zone ARAE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone <br /> V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X <br /> (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood <br /> and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, <br /> which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent- <br /> annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded). <br /> b) The designation on this parcel is made up of AE and X along with portions that are not in a <br /> flood designation. It is within these areas that the special permit areas are positioned. The <br /> FIRM makes note of two natural drainage ways, referred to as Waiaha Drainage way Split <br /> flow#1 and Waiaha Drainage way Split flow#2.The current floodway improvement <br /> development is for Split flow#7. <br /> (1) At such time as the FEMA process concludes, and a new map will go into official affect, <br /> believed to be sometime in 2017, we would ask with this special permit for an <br /> expansion that would allow for the boundary to grow to the extent that it is still outside <br /> of the 100 year flood designation. Currently DPW, Engineering Div, has been instructed <br /> to work from the maps that are the most stringent in order to preserve life and <br /> property. This has caused the DPW to use not only one FIRM but all of them, the old one <br /> and the new one! This has made permitting within that department extraneous. <br /> F) Archaeological Resources <br /> a) A"no effect" letter from the State DLNR Historic Preservation Division is attached to this <br /> application. <br /> G) Floral and Faunal Resources <br /> a) The subject parcel is grown over with non native grass and shrub land.
