Surry County Unincorporated

the undisturbed buffer area, enhanced vegetative plantings and any required best management practices will result in the removal of no less than 75 percent of sediments and 40 percent of nutrients from post development stormwater runoff

A minor assessment must demonstrate that the undisturbed buffer area, enhanced vegetative plantings and any required best management practices will result in the removal of no less than 75 percent of sediments and 40 percent of nutrients from post development stormwater runoff

site plans shall be prepared to a scale of one inch equals 50 feet, or such other scale as may be approved by the administrator

The preliminary site plans shall be clearly drawn to scale as specified below and shall show the following:

Where buffer areas, landscaping, stormwater management facilities or other specifications of an approved plan or plat are required, no certificate of occupancy shall be issued until the installation of required plant materials or facilities is completed

Any land disturbance exceeding an area of 2,500 square feet complies with all erosion and sediment control requirements of this part.

Surry County may permit the continued use, but not necessarily the expansion, of any structure in existence on December 19, 1991.

the base flood is the one percent annual chance flood

These provisions shall apply to all privately and publicly owned lands within the jurisdiction of Surry County, Virginia and identified as areas of special flood hazard according to the flood insurance rate map (FIRM)

Within any floodway area, no encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, or other development shall be permitted unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis that the proposed encroachment will not result in any increase in flood levels.

Until a regulatory floodway is designated, no new construction, substantial improvements, or other development shall be permitted within the areas of special flood hazard, designated as Zones A1-30 and AE or AH, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot.

For these areas, the base flood elevations and floodway information from federal, state, and other acceptable sources shall be used, when available. Where the specific one percent annual chance flood elevation cannot be determined, the applicant shall determine this base flood elevation.

All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the flood depth specified on the FIRM, above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the FIRM. If no flood depth number is specified, the lowest floor shall be elevated no less than two feet above the highest adjacent grade.

Buildings and structures within this zone shall have the lowest floor elevated to or above the base flood elevation plus one foot of freeboard, and must comply with the provisions in Article III, Section 3-1516(A)2. and Article IV, Sections 3-1519 and 3-1520.

All new construction and substantial improvements in Zones V and VE shall be elevated on pilings or columns so that the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member is elevated to or above the base flood level plus 18 inches if parallel to wave approach, or at least one foot above if perpendicular.

In this area no emergency service, medical service, or government storage shall be allowed except by special exception using the variance process.

In this area no emergency service, medical service, or government storage shall be allowed except by special exception using the variance process.

New construction or substantial improvement of any residential structure ... shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood level plus eighteen (18) inches. ... Accessory structures ... Be limited to no more than 600 square feet in total floor area.

Base flood elevation data shall be obtained from other sources or developed using detailed methodologies ... for subdivision proposals and other proposed development proposals ... that exceed 50 lots or five acres, whichever is the lesser.

The change, when added to all the changes made during a rolling five-year period does not constitute 50 percent of the structure's value.
