lowest floor of the proposed aircraft hanger to be constructed up to three feet below the base flood
elevation of21.5 feet.
Section 4. In accordance with 15.25.060.B. 8., the Community Development Office must give
written notice to the applicant that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor
elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate
with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
