<br /> (4) Equal degree of encroachment means a method of determining the location of floodway
<br /> boundaries so that flood plain lands on both sides of a stream are capable of conveying
<br /> a proportionate share of flood flows.
<br /> (5) Flood means a temporary increase in the flow or stage of a stream or in the stage of a
<br /> wetland or lake that results in the inundation of normally dry areas.
<br /> (6) Flood frequency means the frequency for which it is expected that a specific flood stage
<br /> or discharge may be equaled or exceeded.
<br /> (7) Flood fringe means that portion of the flood plain outside of the floodway. Flood fringe is
<br /> synonymous with the term "floodway fringe" used in the flood insurance study.
<br /> (8) Flood plain means the beds proper and the areas adjoining a wetland, lake or
<br /> watercourse which have been or hereafter may be covered by the regional flood.
<br /> (9) Flood proofing means a combination of structural provisions, changes, or adjustments to
<br /> properties and structures subject to flooding, primarily for the reduction or elimination of
<br /> flood damages.
<br /> , � (10) Floodway means the bed of a wetland or lake and the channel of a watercourse and
<br /> those portions of the adjoining flood plain which are reasonably required to carry or store
<br /> the regional flood discharge.
<br /> (11) Lake Minnetonka means fhe naturally occurring lake shown on all the official maps
<br /> referenced in this chapter, including all bays, channels, inlets, lagoons, marshland and
<br /> other water-connected portions, whether naturally occurring or artificially created:
<br /> a. Defined ordinary high water elevation, 929.4 feet MSL.
<br /> . b. Defined floodplain boundary, 100-year flood, 931.5 feet MSL as established by
<br /> the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). � .
<br /> (12) Lowest floor means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement).
<br /> An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, used solely for parking of vehicles, building
<br /> access, or storage in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a building's
<br /> lowest floor.
<br /> (13) Manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is
<br /> , built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent
<br /> foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does
<br /> not include the term "recreational vehicle."
<br /> (14) Obstruction means any dam, wall, wharF, embankment, levee, dike, pile, abutment,
<br /> projection, excavation, channel modification, culvert, building, wire, fence, stockpile,
<br /> refuse, fill, structure, or matter in, along, across, or projecting into any channel,
<br /> watercourse, or regulatory flood plain which may impede, retard, or change the direction
<br /> of the flow of water, either in itself or by catching or collecting debris carried by such
<br /> water.
<br /> (15) Principal use or structure means all uses or structures that are not accessory uses or
<br /> structures.
<br /> (16) Reach means a hydraulic engineering term to describe a longitudinal segment of a
<br /> stream or river influenced by a natural or man-made obstruction. In an urban area, the
<br /> segment of a stream or river between two consecutive bridge crossings would most
<br /> typically constitute a reach.
<br /> (17) Recreational vehicle means a vehicle that is built on a single chassis, is 400 square feet
<br /> or less when measured at the largest horizontal projection, is designed to be self-
<br /> propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and is designed primarily not for
<br /> use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping,
<br /> travel, or seasonal use. For the purposes of this article, the term recreational vehicle
<br /> shall be synonymous with the term travel trailer/travel vehicle.
