Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in this article, uses permitted within the floodway channel district shall be the same as those permitted within the district through which the Floodway Channel District runs, except, however, where two different districts adjoin a Floodway Channel District, the use regulations of the more restrictive district shall apply.
The following restrictions shall apply to all land within the Floodway Channel District:
A. 
Building prohibited. The erection, use or occupancy of any structure or building within the F-1 District is prohibited.
B. 
Obstruction. The obstruction of any stream or streambed is prohibited except as may be authorized by special use permit under Article XIX of this chapter and by permit under New York Environmental Conservation Law.
C. 
Dumping. The dumping or draining of any waste, septage, solid waste, hazardous material, earth, ashes, rubbish, tree trunks, stumps, rubble, concrete, masonry, garbage, refuse or other trash is prohibited.
D. 
Modification. No stream channel in an F-1 District shall be channeled through any underground pipe or culvert except where approved in writing by the Rotterdam Town Engineer and subject to conditions and restrictions as may be necessary. Every such pipe or culvert shall be sized, designed, installed and maintained in accordance with standard water resource engineering practices acceptable to the Town Engineer.
[Amended 12-9-1992 by L.L. No. 37-1992]
The F-1 Floodway Channel District shall be mapped as a line on the Zoning Map, the location of which shall be the center line of the stream. The aerial minimum limit of the F-1 District shall extend a distance, on each side, of 30 feet from said center line, except such limit shall in no case be less than the distance to the top of the bank or ravine edge through which the stream flows. Where such stream is contained with a pipe, the minimum limit of the district shall extend to a distance, on each side, of 30 feet of the pipe center line.
