Consideration of the <br />effects of a proposed use shall be based upon the reasonable assumption <br />that there will be an equal degree of encroachment extending for a <br />significant reach on both sides of the stream. All conditional use <br />applications shall be accompanied by a floodway impact statement drafted <br />by a registered engineer.

Structures. <br />(1) Structures shall not be designed for human habitation. <br />(2) Structures shall have a low flood damage potential. <br />(3) Structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on the <br />building site so as to offer the minimum obstruction to the flow of <br />flood waters. <br />(a) .Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the <br />longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of the flood flow, <br />and <br />Little Canada Zoning Ordinance FP, Floodplain District <br />916-6 <br />
