RE: SP201100011 Lewis Bridge
Dear Mr. Wyant:
Staff has reviewed your revision submittal for the Lewis Bridge over the Doyles River.
I have a number of comments which I believe should be resolved before your proposal goes to public
hearing. I would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues.
Your report did not contain any information regarding the floodplain. The advertisement of this application
cites a number of ordinance sections;
Doyles River bridge crossing for a driveway, with fill for abutments, under sections 30.3.03.2,
30.3.05.2.1, 30.3.05.2.2, and 30.5.5.2d6 of the zoning ordinance.
Section 30.3.03.2 states, "The purpose of such permit shall be to determine the effects of the proposed
construction or development on the flood carrying capacity of the water course. No development permit shall
be issued for any use, structure, activity, fill, new construction, substantial improvements or other
development which in the opinion of the county engineer would result in any increase in flood levels during
the occurrence of a one hundred year flood discharge." Please provide a map /plan of the existing and
expected flood limits, and the existing and proposed flood elevations to address section 30.3.03.2.
Section 30.3.05.2.1 and 30.3.05.2.2 states that bridges are allowed by special use permit in the floodway and
floodway fringe. It would be helpful in your analysis if you could define the theoretical limits of the
floodway and floodway fringe, and how it may or may not be affected.
Section 30.5.5.2d6 states in part that the board shall find that, "no alternative means of access to such
dwellings is physically practicable ", and, "such bridge or other structure is so designed as to pose the
minimum practical disruption of the environment of the stream consistent with the other provisions hereof ".
Please addres this section in your proposal for abutments, wingwalls, rip -rap, or other means of fill, support
and scour protection.
