[Ord. 974, 3/17/2016]
Existing structures and/or uses located in the Floodway District
shall not be expanded or enlarged unless the effect of the proposed
expansion or enlargement on the floodway elevation or velocities is
fully offset by accompanying stream improvements. A hydrology and
hydraulic study is also required to prove no rise in elevation. Said
plans must be reviewed by the Borough Engineer, and technical proof
of such offsets must be supplied by the applicant.
[Ord. 974, 3/17/2016; as amended by Ord. 976, 6/16/2016]
