Factors Upon Which the Decision of the City Council Shall Be <br />Based: In passing upon Conditional Use applications, the City ofLakeElmoshallconsiderallrelevantfactorsspecifiedinother <br />sections of the Floodplain Regulation, and: <br />1. The danger to life and property due to increased flood <br />heights or velocities caused by encroachments. <br />2. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or <br />downstream to the injury of others or they may block bridges, <br />culverts or other hydraulic structures. <br />3. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the <br />ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamination, <br />and unsanitary conditions. <br />4.

The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive <br />plan and floodplain management program for the area. <br />10. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for <br />ordinary and emergency vehicles. <br />11. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, <br />and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the <br />site. <br />12. Such other factors which are relevant to the purposes of <br />the Floodplain Regulation. <br />12
