flood plain district:
(a) All structures to be erected, constructed, reconstructed,
altered or moved shall be constructed on fill with the
finished surface of the basement, or first floor in structure
without basements, at or above a point one (1) foot above
the regulatory flood elevation line. The fill shall extend
at such elevation at least fifteen (15) feet beyond the
limits of the structure.
(b) Where existing public streets or other circumstances make
compliance with Section 36-808(2)(a) impractical, or in
other special circumstances, the Board of Zoning Appeals
may authorize other flood proofing measures in lieu of fill
in accordance with Section 36-809(2).
(c) Accessory uses such as railroad tracks and yards and parking
lots may be at lower elevations.
(d) The storage or processing of materials that are buoyant,
flammable, or explosive in times of flooding and are
potentially injurious to human life or property shall be at
or above a point one (1) foot above the regulatory flood
elevation line."
Section 2. That Section 36-809(2) of the Salina Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 36-809(2). In addition to the conditions which may be
imposed under Section 36-1201(2) of this chapter, when a provision of
this article is involved, the Board of Zoning Appeals may also impose
any of the following conditions which it deems necessary:

installed electrical appliances so as to provide
protection from inundation by the regional flood.
