PUBLIC HEARING (continued) - Proposedordinance establishing Flood Plain Zoning This being the time and place, as designated, for continuation of the hear- ing on the establishment of flood plain zoning, Mayor McAllister declared the hearing reopened. Mr. George Owen, 50 Monte Vista Street, stated that at the Planning Com- mission hearing, it was stated fill would be permitted in the F-2 zone but he is unable to find anything in the ordinance under the F-2 section which would permit fill. Mrs. Jesse Bennett, Edgemere Road, asked what provisions, if any, are being taken to prevent flooding of their property prior to channelization. Paul Overton, appearing on behalf of Home Federal, owners of property in the area~ directed questions to the City Attorney for clarification of the pro- posed ordinance. Mr. Mike Link was desirous of knowing if owners with property in F-2 zones would be required to bring existing improvements on their properties up to any standards which might be required in F-2 zones. Mr. William Davies, Attorney representing the Long Construction Company, asked the City Attorney for his interpretation of several of the sections in the proposed ordinance. Mr. Peter DeGraaf, 665 Del Mar Avenue, was of the opinion the present channel should be cleaned up to allow the free flow of water in Sweetwater Valley and that warehousing should not be allowed in the green belt or tourist area. Mr. Charles Ketch questioned the necessity of adopting the proposed flood plain ordinance with such rapidity. He suggested adoption of the ordinance after funds have been appropriated for the proposed channel project.
