Frequently Flooded Areas. 1. All structures and other improvements shall be located on the buildable portion of the site out of the area of flood hazard. Where necessary residential buildings may be elevated. 2. Utilities shall either be located three or more feet above the base flood elevation (BFE), or be engineered to the City of Cle Elum Engineers requirements appropriate for the conditions. 3. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using flood resistant materials and using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. 4. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation) collapse, or lateral movement of the structure. 5. No rise in the BFE shall be allowed. Post and piling techniques are preferred and are presumed to produce no increase in the BFE. 6. Modification of stream channels shall be avoided. No develop is proposed with a flood hazard area.

Structures and improvements shall minimize alterations to the natural contour of the slope, and foundations shall be tiered where possible to conform to existing topography. 2. Structures and improvements shall be located to preserve the most critical portion of the site and its natural landforms and vegetation. 3. The proposed development shall not result in greater risk or a need for increased buffers onꞏ neighboring properties. 4. Development shall be designed to minimize impervious surfaces within the critical area and critical area buffer. Per the DA, Appendix B, Critical Areas (Title 18) #4 Development shall be permitted in critical aquifer recharge areas to the extent that such development is served by the Water Rights dedicated to the City by the Ridge Entities pursuant to Appendix E. City mapping shows the site does not contain identified fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas No develop is proposed with a flood hazard area. See B.1.a-h. of the submitted SEPA checklist.
