      s 107. Permitted Uses in Designated Floodways.

      The following uses may be permitted in the designated floodway so long as 
      alone or cumulatively, in the judgment of the board, they will not unduly 
      impede the free flow of water in the floodway or jeopardize public safety:

      (a) Open space uses not requiring a closed building, such as agricultural 
      croplands, orchards, livestock feeding and grazing, or public and private 
      recreation areas.

      (b) Fences, fills, walls, or other appurtenances which do not create an 
      obstruction or debris-catching obstacle to the passage of floodwaters.

      (c) Storage yards for equipment and material, if the equipment and 
      material can be either securely anchored or removed upon notice.

      (d) Railroads, streets, bridges, and public utility wires and pipelines 
      for transmission and local distribution.

      (e) Commercial excavation of materials from pits, strips, or pools 
      provided that no stockpiling of materials, products, or overburden creates 
      an obstruction to the passage of flood flows.

      (f) Improvements in stream channel alignment, cross-section, and capacity.

      (g) Structures that are designed to have a minimum effect upon the flow of 
      water and are firmly anchored to prevent the structure from flotation, 
      provided that normally no structures for human habitation will be 
      permitted.

      (h) Recreational vehicles and related service facilities that are either 
      floodproofed or are removed during the flood season of the particular 
      stream involved.

      (i) Other uses which are not appreciably damaged by floodwaters.
