Approved. IX. DISCUSSION APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT FOR ROYAL OAKS ACRES, SECTION Engineer Ed Ford said that there was a problem with the plat showing lots in the floodway of the 100-year flood.He said NFIP requires a hydrological study before any structure can be built in the floodway and proof that the structures will not impede the flow of flood water.He recommended that the entire drainage be given as a right-of-way. The developer,Mark Vaughan,wanted the backyards of five lots to include the floodway and was seeking a variance from curbs and gutters(which had been tabled by the Council on April 23). Al Rich of the Planning and Zoning Commission spoke that he was against giving the subdivision a variance from the subdivision ordinance that requires curb and gutters.He felt that the City needed to specify on the plat that restrictions are in place that prevent building in a flood plain. Councilman Miller asked if a fence could be constructed in a flood plain.Mr.Ford said that as a matter of rule,the floodway should be left open for free flow of water. Mr.Ridge said that the City cannot afford to go in and pay for necessities that the developer does not provide.Mr.Buell also felt that the curbs,gutters and sidewalks must be constructed. Ms.Douglas recommended disapproval of the plat,Mr.Buell seconded it. Motion passes and the plat is rejected. X. PARKS ISSUES A.

Seconded by Gail Douglas.Mr.Buell said that we require everyone to be fugal.He said that it was unfortunate that everyone was not conserving the limited resource. Mayor Bauder echoed this sentiment and said that we must show some leadership in conservation as we were not reaching our assigned mandatory conservation target.
