Flood Plain Application
Applicant
FINDINGS OF FACT
1) On October 14, 1983, Esco. Inc., the applicant here-
in, applied for a development permit pursuant to the provisions
of Ordinance 82 of the City of Eagle, Idaho. Esco Inc. owns
property located at 589 E. State Street, Eagle. Because the
land in question lies within the flood plain as designated by
various agencies of the United States Government, any construc-
tion within that flood plain must comply with the provisions of
the Flood Plain Ordinance.
2) In its application, Esco Inc. set forth each of those
items required by Section 2, Chapter 4 of the Flood Plain
Ordinance to be contained in an application for a development
permit. Those required items include plans drawn to scale
showing the nature, location, dimensions and elevations of
the area in question; existing and proposed structures, eleva-
tion in relation to sea level of the lowest floor of all of
the structures; certification by a registered professional
engineer that the flood proofing method for any non-resident-
ial structure meet the flood proofing criteria contained in
the Flood Plain Ordinance; and stated that the water course
will not be altered or relocited as a result of the proposed
development.
3) To the extent that the applicant has responded to
each of the above items in its application for development
in the flood plain, the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission
finds that all requirements for the filing of an application
for development permit have been met by the applicant. Based
upon these standards for review of the application contained
in Section 6, Chapter 4 of the Flood Plain Ordinance, the
Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following
findings:
(a) There is no danger that materials may be swept
onto other lands to the injury of others.
(b) There is no danger to life and property due to
flooding or erosion damage.
(c) There is minimal susceptibility of the proposed
facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of
such damage on the individual owner.
(d) There may be a few feet of water on the access to
the property in times of flood.
