<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Accessory structures shall not be designed for human habitation. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Accessory structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed <br />on the building site so as to offer the minimum obstruction to the <br />flow of flood waters. <br /> <br />a. Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the <br />longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of flood flow; and <br /> <br />b. So far as practicable, structures shall be placed <br />approximately on the same flood flow lines as those of <br />adjoining structures. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Accessory structures shall be elevated or fill or structurally dry <br />flood proofed in accordance with the FP-l or FP-2 flood proofing <br />classifications in the State Building Code. As an alternative, an <br />accessory structure may be flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 flood <br />proofmg classification in the State Building Code provided the <br />accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment, does not <br />exceed 500 square feet in size, and for a detached garage, the <br />detached garage shall be used solely for parking of vehicles and <br />limited storage. All flood proofed accessory structures shall meet <br />the following additional standards, as appropriate: <br /> <br />a. The structure shall be adequately anchored to prevent <br />flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure and <br />shall be designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on <br />exterior walls; and <br /> <br />b. Any mechanical and utility equipment in a structure shall <br />be elevated to or above the Regulatory Flood Protection <br />Elevation or properly flood proofed. <br /> <br />F. Storage of Materials and Equipment. <br /> <br />I. The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, <br />flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or <br />plant life shall be prohibited. <br /> <br />2. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily <br />removable from the area within the time available after a flood <br />warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current or <br />cross section of protected wetlands or public waters shall be subject to the <br />provisions of Minnesota Statute, Chapter 103G.
