Floodplains are lands beside rivers that are usually dry but flood during high water. Building in floodplains risks damage and can alter water flow, increasing flood risk downstream. Flood magnitude is described by recurrence intervals, with a five year flood and a one percent chance of a 100 year flood in any year.
City planners, evolving floodplain rules since 1993 flood recovery, set two July hearings to decide expansion of floodplain boundaries affecting about 2,600 parcels. Critics warn of higher costs and forced insurance. proponents say two foot elevation and broader maps reflect urban growth and reduce future flood damage.
The floodplain study maps are online or in print for $10 at the Lawrence Douglas County Planning Office in City Hall. The planning commission invites public comment at a special meeting from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on July 10 at City Hall. The regular meeting to consider the regulations is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on July 24.
