The <br />prohibition shall be inclusive of the end date of each period. An RV placed before the prohibited <br />period shall not remain after November 14th; and <br />Exception: This regulation shall not be interpreted to prevent recreational use of <br />property, but shall prohibit the unattended storage of all recreational vehicles and <br />equipment during the flood season as outlined in 14.08.295 (1). if a notice of <br />correction is placed upon the Recreational Vehicle and such notice is observed upon <br />such Recreational Vehicle over 72 hours later, such observation shall create a <br />rebuttable presumption of unattended storage. Such notice must reference that failure <br />to remove it will create the before stated presumption. <br />Exception: Lawfully established, conditionally permitted uses (CUPS) such as <br />campgrounds and recreational parks in existence prior to the adoption of this <br />ordinance shall be allowed to continue their approved operations provided such uses <br />are not dangerous to life and property and have and continue to comply with the laws <br />and regulation as they existed at the time the CUP was issued.

Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other <br />development, unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided <br />demonstrating through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with <br />standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase <br />in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. <br />
