Flood fringe is synonymous with the term <br />"floodway fringe" used in the Flood Insurance Study. <br />4. "Flood Plain" ~ The areas adjoining a <br />watercourse which have been or hereafter may be covered by the <br />regional flood. <br />"Floodway" - The channel of the watercourse and <br />those portions or the adjoining flood plains which are reasonably <br />required to carry and discharge the regional flood. <br />Subd. 4. Definition and Establishment of Protected <br />Areas. The "Flood Plain and Wetlands Conservation Area", <br />hereinafter referred to as the protected area, is defined and <br />established to be the low areas and flood plain adjoining and <br />including any watercourse or drainage way or body of water subject <br />to periodic flooding or overflow. These areas are divided into the <br />following three protected area districts: <br />A. Floodway District (FW) - The Floodway District <br />shall include those areas designated as floodway in the Flood <br />Insurance Study, including without limitation the surface and <br />shoreline of Lake Minnetonka below elevation 929.4 MSL, the surface <br />and shoreline of other lakes, .'onds and wetlands below the ordinary <br />highwater elevation, and the Designated floodway of all streams and <br />flowage areas. <br />B. Flood Fringe District (FFD) - The Flood Fringe <br />District shall include those areas designated as floodway fringe in <br />the Flood Insurance Study, including without limitation the <br />shoreline of Lake Minnetonka between elevations 929.4 MSL and 931.5 <br />MSL, the area between the floodway and the edge of the 100-year <br />flood on all other lakes, ponds and streams, all designated sheet <br />flow areas, all intermittent streams, and ponding areas and all <br />lands containing soil types classified as wetlands soils (defined <br />herein), whether or not there is water standing on those soils at <br />any given time. <br />C. General Flood Plain District (GFP) - The General <br />Flood Plain District shall include those areas studied by <br />approximate methods and designated as unnumbered A Zones by the <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map. GFP areas may include both Flood Way and <br />Flood Fringe areas. Development of lands containing designated GFP <br />areas shall be contingent upon submittal by the developer of <br />topographic data (at contour intervals of no greater than two feet) <br />and/or other engineering analysis sufficient for the City to <br />determine the actual extent of the Flood Way and/or the Flood <br />Fringe. Upon such determination, the restrictions of the FW and <br />FFD Districts shall apply.
