Except as regulated by this or other Ordinances and State Statutes, any building structure may be placed or erected on and storage or other use may be made of the flood fringe that is permitted by the regulations of the zoning district in which such flood fringe located.

All buildings, other structures, inoperable motor vehicles and similar machinery, and fills of any kind of materials hereafter made, placed or erected on the flood fringe shall be set back at least the distances required to preserve and maintain open and unobstructed: (a) the widths of floodways established for streams and other flood water runoff channels, and (b) the boundaries or limits of floodwater detention or retention ponds and basins as established in Section 17.3.0, Subsection 1, and as otherwise regulated in this Ordinance.

Logs, tree stumps and branches, lumber, lumber products and other floatable material may be placed, displayed, or stored in the open on flood fringe land, where permitted by the zoning district regulations applicable to such land, and by State Statutes, provided the area so used is enclosed by an open wire fence properly anchored to restrain such materials from floating downstream during times of high water. No storage of materials, fencing (except playing field or trail system fencing parallel to the direction of the flood flows), construction of sheds, building additions, garages, or any activity not deemed an appropriate use of the regulatory floodway will be permitted in the floodway.

The open storage or display on flood plain land of inoperable motor vehicles and similar machinery and other non-floatable materials and products, where permitted by the regulations of the zoning district applicable to such land, and by State Statutes shall be considered the same as the placement of fill on the flood plain and shall be subject to the regulations of this Ordinance relating to compensatory storage.
