REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
On April 8, 2008, the Planning Commission reviewed the request by 5t" Street Development for a
Special Use Permit to allow fill in the floodplain. The Planning Commission recommended denial by a
vote of 4 — 2 (Mr. Morris was absent), based on the County Engineer's position that placement of the
fill was not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
Since the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has been notified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) that the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will be reissued. The applicant
has requested that staff forward the attached e-mail message to the Board in advance of the Board's
Public Hearing. Lori Wade, who sent the e-mail, works for the company that is under contract to
FEMA to prepare the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Her message indicates that the LOMR will
be reissued. (Attachment 1) While this new material provides a more current status, it does not
address the Commission's reason for recommending denial.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends denial of this Special Use Permit.

Dear Mr. Enright and Mr. Roell,
We received the LOMR backup for case 00-03-101 P. Our review of the backup date revealed that the topographic
work map used for the LOMB contains shows a delineation based on one foot contours, where the revised
DFIRMs completed in 2005 used five foot contours. Since no detailed restudy was completed for this flooding source
in 2005, and the BFEs are the same (aside from the datum conversion) there does not appear to be a reason why the
5 foot contours were used for mapping in this area.
I recommend that we work toward reissuing a LOMR for this area based on the 2000 LOMR's topographic work map. I
will get the necessary paperwork and data together and will contact the appropriate community officials for their
signature on the proposed revision.
If you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to contact me at 609-734-7938 or Sarah Bowen at
215-430-5517.
Thank you,
Lori Wade
