Plat Map Background The property owner is planning to demolish the existing structure and construct a new single family home on the property. The new home must be constructed to conform to all applicable laws and regulations. In order to conform to the floodplain regulation, the lowest floor of the home must be at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation (RFPE). The RFPE is one foot above the elevation with 1%annual chance of flooding (formerly referred to as the 100- year floodplain elevation), and follows the 931.5' elevation contour. Therefore,the RFPE for Lake Minnetonka is established at 932.5'; the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requires an additional foot above the RFPE for all openings. The applicant's proposal contemplates cutting and filling within the property in order to elevate the proposed home to meet the floodplain regulations.
