FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE
PAGE 3, SECTION 2:
Change discussion of Area of Shallow Flooding to "...depth
of less than or equal to three feet."
PAGE 4, SECTION 2; DEFINITIONS:
Floodway (Regulatory Floodway) has been changed. End of

However, the designated height increase is not stated anywhere in

of Friendwood is unacceptable.

flood hazard" is defined as the land in the floodplain within a
community subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding
in any given year." This is the 100 year floodplain and is
marked as Zone A or Zone V and their sub zones. Building outside
Zones A or V would not be regulated even though their slabs might
be just barely above (or even below) the 100 year flood base
elevation. The CCDD recommends that the ordinance apply to all
area within the jurisdiction of Friendswood.

In addition to the written input the Clear Creek Drainage
District recommended adding to the proposed changes the
following:
This could be under PERMIT PROCEDURES:
The requirement of showing the location of any drainage
easements or right-of-way on the plans submitted.
A check list for the purpose of collection and recording
the relevant factors listed should be developed.
The Commission ask the District if they had any information
on Mr. Illerich's property since the letter the Commission
received dated December 22, 1986.
MR. ILLERICH - ENCHANTED WOODS SUBDIVISION
The District told the Commission they had agreed to assist Mr.
Illerich, but access to the gulley for equipment is only by a
neighbor's property or easement located on Clear Creek, thus it
is necessary to wait for very dry conditions before this work
can be accomplished.
The meeting was adjourned.
