No aspect of this project requires anchoring. The criterion does not apply. E. Construction Materials and Methods. LAII new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage, and the design and methods of construction are in accord with accepted standards of practice based on an engineer's or architect's review of the plans and specifications. 2. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods andpractices that minimize flood damages. The project involves excavation and grading on the subject parcel. No outside materials will be added. The criterion is met. F. Utilities. The proposal is not for a utility facility, nor are utilities involved in the project. The criterion does not apply. 9. The project is partially located within the floodway and therefore subject to MCC 16.19.140 (J). J. Floodways. Located within areas of floodplain established in MCC 17.178.030 are areas designated as Floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential the following provisions shall apply in addition to the requirement in subsection (I) of this section: LProhibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development, within the adopted regulatory floodway unless certification by a registered professional civil engineer is provided demonstrating through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment shall not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. 2. If subsection (d)(1) of this section is satisfied, all new construction, substantial improvements, and other development shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this section. 3. The area below the lowest floor shall remain open and unenclosed to allow the unrestricted flow of floodwaters beneath the structure. The applicant provided a no rise certification from Registered Professional Engineer Mark Grenz of Multi -Tech Engineering Service, INC. The development in question within the designated floodway is the widening of the drainage ditch. The development complies with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions. The development is not a structure, therefore (J)(3) does not apply. The floodway criteria are met. 10. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the proposal complies with the criteria in the Marion County Code and is, therefore, APPROVED, subject to conditions.
