No part of any <br />lot within the Flood Plain and Wetlands Conservation Area shall be <br />platted for residential occupancy or for other uses which will <br />increase the danger to health, life, property or the public <br />welfare. All lots containing land within the flood plain districts <br />shall contain a building site above the regulatory flood protection <br />elevation. All subdivisions shall have water and sewage disposal <br />facilities that comply with the provisions of this Section and have <br />road access no lower than two feet below the regulatory flood <br />protection elevation. Whenever a portion of the Flood Plain and <br />Wetlands Conservation Area is located within or adjoins a land area <br />that is being subdivided, the subdivider shall dedicate to the City <br />an adequate perpetual easement over the land within the protected <br />area and along each side of such area for the purpose of improving <br />or protecting the area for drainage or other purposes expressed in <br />this Section and other recreational uses, as determined by the <br />Council. Public or private streets, driveways, drainage openings <br />and culverts shall not be constructed unless the design thereof has <br />been approved by the City, and such structures shall be designed so <br />as not to restrict the flow of water. Subdivision applicants shall <br />provide all certified engineering data, surveys, site plans, <br />flowage calculations and other information as the City may require <br />in order to determine the effects of such development on the <br />affected land and water areas. <br />A. Minimum Lot Area Requirements. The minimum lot <br />area requirements of this Chapter shall be interpreted to mean that <br />all of the required land area for each building site shall be in <br />one contiguous parcel undivided by Floodway or Flood Fringe and no <br />land within the protected area shall be included in determination <br />of minimum lot area, except as specifically provided for herein: <br />1. For properties not served by municipal <br />sanitary sewer, the minimum lot area may be divided by Flood Fringe <br />lands provided at least 2.0 acres of land not within the protected <br />area is included in one contiguous parcel and legal access is <br />available to that building site without encroachment on the <br />protected area. <br />2. For properties served by municipal sanitary <br />sewer, the minimum lot area may be divided by Flood Fringe lands <br />provided at least one half acre of land not within the protected <br />area is included in one contiguous parcel and both municipal sewer <br />and legal access is available to that building sits without <br />encroachment on the protected area. <br />3. For residential properties served by <br />municipal sanitary sewer, a limited density credit may be allowed <br />for inclusion of Flood Fringe lands as part of the required minimum <br />lot area for purposes of complying with the land use density, open <br />space, building unit to land area ratios or other similar <br />requirements of the land development and zoning provisions. The <br />owner or developer of such property will be credited with an amount <br />of his land within the Flood Fringe equal to, but not exceeding, <br />the amount of his adjacent land which otherwise qualified for <br />development under this Chapter. Such credit shall be conditioned <br />upon dedication of perpetual open space and flowage easements to <br />the City over all protected areas so utilized for density credit.
