In addition to the requirements outlined in Articles
IV and
V, the following specific requirements must be applied.
In general, buildings and accessory structures should be located
entirely out of the floodplain. All structures permitted in the floodplain
shall be oriented so as to offer the least resistance to the flow
of floodwaters. Materials which are buoyant, flammable, explosive,
hazardous to health, or which at times of flooding may be injurious
to human, animal or plant life, shall not be stored below the flood
protection elevation.
All structures shall be firmly anchored in accordance with acceptable
engineering practices to prevent flotation, collapse and lateral movement
during flooding. All air ducts, large pipes and storage tanks located
below the flood protection elevation shall be firmly anchored to resist
flotation.
