A - They are based upon a datum of mean sea level. This means that elevation 0 is the approximate half way elevation between high and low tide. Town topographic(contour) mapping is on the same vertical datum as the FEMA maps.

A ? A 100 year flood is a storm event that has a 1% chance of occurring in any year. As this is a calculated statistical return, a 100 year storm may occur more than once in one year or not at all for more than 100 years.

A ? Yes. FEMA has established many zones for Branford. There are two categories ? stillwater zones or A zones and wave action zones or V zones. Each different zone has a different 100 year flood elevation.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrated the BFEs and flood boundaries on the current FIRMs may not provide an appropriate level of protection for new buildings and repairs of substantially damaged buildings. FEMA has developed the Advisory Base Flood Elevations to provide communities with an interim product they can use during reconstruction to assure that new buildings and repairs of substantially damaged buildings are reasonably protected from future flood damage.

The subject property is located in SFHA zone A-6, requiring a base flood elevation of approximately 10'. All units will be built above a garage and the lowest floor living area will be approximately 16' for a townhouse and approximately 18' for any of the mid rise condominium buildings.

(Map: 39.53,-106.22 ; see also http://www.mesalek.com/colo/i70.

A ? Several steps are necessary, but the first is to determine the lowest floor elevation, including basement, of the structure. If you have an Elevation Certificate produced by a licensed land surveyor, this information is on that form. If not, you should have a licensed land surveyor determine these elevations for you. A ? A floodplain permit is required and you may proceed with your project as long as you do not create any living space or additional floors below the 100 year flood elevation.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the "100-Year Flood" designation does not refer to a flood that occurs once every 100 years. It means a flood of that level has at least a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.

For information about floodplain delineation and where to order floodplain maps, go to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) web site. FEMA is the national agency that maps and delineates floodplains.

The exterior elevations show the front, rear and sides of the house, including exterior materials, details and measurements. These elevations are included with all house plan orders. If you want to view these elevations before you order plans from us, please email us with the plan number and your address. "These are available for house plans and three/four car garages only."

A ? Flood zones are established for the entire Town of Branford by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). They range from areas subject to flooding in a 100 year storm to areas subject to minimal flooding. Maps prepared by FEMA showing the flood zones in Branford are available for inspection at Town Hall.

A ? Theoretically, every property in the 100 year floodplain should have flood insurance. Flood insurance may be appropriate for many other properties in town outside the 100 year floodplain as well. Practically, the requirement is enforced by mortgaging institutions which are then audited by federal regulators to insure that all properties are covered. The mortgaging institution has sole discretion in requiring flood insurance. The Town of Branford is not involved in these determinations.

Ans. Yes you may get this return but only after exercising a lot of control over your your greed and fear. You will have you work on a proper system and trade on it and believe in yourself.

A As with all specialty plates, the Autism Awareness plate will be renewed when annual vehicle property tax is paid. Typical specialty plate renewal fees are $15.00 plus a $6.00 handling fee. A www.KYAutismawarenessplate.org has the most up to date information dealing with this project. It has photos of the sample plate, the application form (KYTC 96-15aa), a list of the most commonly asked questions and answers, and a brief overview of the project.

The cost of attendance budget is determine by reviewing each year the cost of living in the community by a STUDENT based on needs and not wants in the following components: 1) Tuition 2) Books and Supplies 3) Room and Board 4) Transportation 5) Personal/Miscellaneous.

In as early as 6 months from now, FEMA anticipates issuing preliminary FIRMs for many of the coastal Louisiana parishes however, these maps will not become effective until they have been through a formal appeals and adoption process. The final elevations to be depicted on revised FIRMs will be based on detailed analyses of the coastal hazards and will include the data used for the Advisory Base Flood Elevations.

Flooding is defined by the NFIP as a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties (one of which is yours) from: Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water, as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood.
