The City will not allow fill (including fill for roads and levees), deposits, obstructions, or other similar uses as a conditional use that would cause any increase in the stage of a 100 -year or regional flood or cause an increase in flood damage in the reach or reaches affected. b. All conditional uses in the Floodway District shall be subject to the procedures and standards set forth in Section 1301.10 Subd. 4 of this Chapter. c. The conditional use shall be permissible in the underlying City zoning district. d. Fill, subject to the following standards: (1) The property owner or contractor shall protect fill, dredge spoil, and all other similar materials that they deposit or store in the flood plain from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other method acceptable to the City. (2) The City does not allow dredge spoil sites and sand and gravel operations in the Floodway District unless the owner or operator submits a long -term site development plan to the City that includes an erosion/sedimentation prevention element to the plan. (3) As an alternative, and consistent with Subsection (2) above, dredge spoil disposal and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on -site storage of fill or other materials that would have caused an increase to the stage of 100 -year or regional flood. The City will only allow such storage only if City has received a plan that assures the removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the available time after a flood warning. The City or the property owner must record the conditional use permit against the title of the property in the Ramsey County Recorders Office. e. Storage of Materials and Equipment. The City may allow the storage of other materials or equipment if readily removable from the area in the time available after a flood warning and according to a plan approved by the City.
