TOWN OF VERNON ZONING REGULATIONS 5.4 In riverine situations, the developer must notify adjacent communities and the State Coordinating office prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse and submit copies of such notifications to the PZC and FEMA. No permit shall be issued for any proposed alteration or relocation of a watercourse unless the flood carrying capacity is maintained. 5.5 The following floodway provisions shall apply: 5.5.1 In A zones where base flood elevations have been determined, but before a floodway is designated, no new construction, substantial improvement, or other development (including fill) shall be permitted which will increase base flood elevations more than one (1) foot at any point along the watercourse when all anticipated development is considered cumulatively with the proposed development. 5.5.2 Should data be requested and/or provided, the Town shall adopt a regulatory floodway based on the principle that the floodway must be able to convey the waters of the base flood without increasing the water surface elevation more than one (1) foot at any point along the watercourses. 5.5.3 The regulatory floodways established by FEMA on the flood boundary and floodway map are adopted and incorporation herein by reference. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters, which carry debris and potential projectiles and have erosion potential, any development or encroachment (including fill) which would result in any increase (0.00) in flood levels during base flood discharge is prohibited. To demonstrate a less than 0.00 increase the applicant must provide hydraulic analysis performed in accordance with standard engineering practices. 5.6 Permitted Uses: 5.6.1 Agriculture and farming. 5.6.2 Forestry and nurseries. 5.7 Special Permits: The following uses may be permitted when granted a Special Permit by the Planning & Zoning Commission: 5.7.1 Residential, commercial and industrial structures; this includes both primary and secondary structures. 5.7.2 Public and private open-type recreational uses; including, but not necessarily limited to golf, tennis, equitation, swimming, boating, parks, game farms, and athletic fields. 10/02/2006 115
TOWN OF VERNON ZONING REGULATIONS 5.7.3 Municipal sewer plant or public utility structure not subject to major flood damage. 5.7.4 Parking as an accessory use to either a special use or for a use permitted immediately adjacent to the floodplain. 5.7.5 Filling or excavation of land. The filling of land within the special flood hazard area is permitted, subject to the following requirements as well as those of Section 5.5 above. 5.7.5.1 An application must be submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission for its consideration and approval, which shall include the following information: 5.7.5.1.1 An engineering plan prepared by a registered professional engineer showing the existing and proposed contours and the effect upon flooding and drainage conditions on adjacent properties. 5.7.5.1.2 The engineering plan shall show the location and elevation of all proposed buildings, and building permits shall be issued only for buildings shown on such approved plans. 5.7.5.1.3 The proposed filling of land for the purpose of building construction shall be logical extensions of land lying at higher elevations. 5.7.5.1.4 The filling of land shall not retard the flow of the stream or significantly reduce the volume of the storage, which alleviates flooding elsewhere. 5.7.5.1.5 Application for approval for construction and/or land filling within any encroachment lines established by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection shall be considered and approved only with the approval in writing of the said State Water Resources Commissioner. 10/02/2006 116
