<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> modifying works are those constructed in confor- <br /> mance with sound engineering standards. <br /> Flood.way (Regulatory Floodway) means the <br /> channel of a river or other watercourse and the <br /> adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order <br /> to discharge the base flood without cumulatively <br /> increasing the water surface elevation more than a <br /> desigxiated height. <br /> Functionally Dependent Use means a use which <br /> cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is <br /> located or carried out in close proximity to <br /> water. The term includes only docking facilities, <br /> port facilities that are necessary for the loading <br /> and unloading of cargo or passengers, and ship <br /> building and ship repair facilities, but does not <br /> include long-term storage or related manufacturing <br /> facilities. <br /> Highest Adjacent Grade means the Iiighest <br /> natural elevation of the ground surface prior to <br /> construction next to the proposed walls of a <br /> structure. <br /> Levee means a man-made structure, usually an <br /> earthen embankment, designed and constructed in <br /> accordance with sound engineering practices to <br /> contain, control, or divert the flow of water so <br /> as to provide protection from temporary flooding. <br /> Levee System means a flood protection system <br /> which consists of a levee, or levees, and associ- <br /> ated structures, such as closure and drainage <br /> devices, which are constructed and operated in <br /> accordance with sound engineering practices. <br /> <br /> Lowest Floor means the lowest floor of the <br /> lowest enclosed area (including basement). An <br /> unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable <br /> soleZy for parking or vehicles, buildin:g access or <br /> storage in an area other than a basement area is <br /> not considered a building's lowest floor; provided <br /> that such enclosure is not built so as to render <br /> the structure in violation of the applicable <br /> non-elevation design requirement of Section 60.3 <br /> of the National Flood Insurance Program regu- <br /> lations. <br /> Manufactured Home means a structure trans- <br /> portable in one or more sections, which is built <br /> on a permanent chassis and is designed for use <br /> with or without a permanent foundation when <br /> connected to the required utilities. For flood <br /> plain management purposes the term "manufactured <br /> home" also includes park trailers, travel <br /> trailers, and other similar vehicles placed on a <br /> site for greater than 180 consecutive days. For <br /> insurance purposes the term "manufactured home" <br /> does not include park trailers, travel trailers, <br /> and other similar vehicles. <br /> Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision means a <br /> parcel (or contiguous parcels) of land divided <br /> into two or more manufactured home lots for rent <br /> or sale. <br /> Mean Higher High Tide. The mean higher high <br /> tide is the average high tide reached over a <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -3- <br />
