FOUR The Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 107R Heppner City Council news Cont. from page 1 irrigation puposes. The coun cil indicated that that it would inform the DEQ that the city was investigating the pos sibility and would hold a public hearing on the subject sometime in the future. In other business, the council voted to approve a restricted liquor license to the West of Willow restaurant. The license, if given final approval by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, would allow the restaurant to serve "hard" liquor at ban quets and catered parties. Federal officials outline flood plain input in lone Cont. from page 1 complete, "I haven't found any significant errors in the Corps' analysis," said Chuck Steele of the FIA's regional office in Seattle. One of the FIA specialists checking the data stated that the Corps' methods used in determining the 100 year flood level were "technically appropriate," and stated further that "the figures may even be underest imated for potential flooding." "The potential is there," Steele told those attending the lone public hearing. "In other parts of the basin, you have already seen floods that far exceed the 100-year project ions," he said, citing Hep pner's 1903 flood and a flood in Shobe Canyon earlier this decade as examples. The comments were cooly received by those attending the public meeting, many of whom voiced criticism and skepticism over the flood projections. "You haven't seen it, so you can't believe it," said Steele after one such exchange. "...But that doesn't mean that it's not going to happen." While conceding that flood zone designations "will have a very serious impact on lone," Steele stated that the situation may not "be as bleak as some have envisioned. We never like to say that something is totally lost." Steele noted that all existing homes in the flood-designated areas, plus those built before the flood insurance program becomes final in 1980, would be able to carry the current subsidized flood insurance rate of 25 cents per $100 of value, under a "grandaddy" clause. Such homes in the flood zones could be sold, with the insurance transferable to new owners at the same rates. Participation in the flood insurance program, however, would require cities to pass ordinances outlawing any new construction in floodway des ignated areas. However, Steele said, variances could possibly be granted in isolated instances in floodway zones, following a case-by-case re view. But, Steele acknow ledged, "to put in a new subdivision can't be permit ted." Cities granting large numbers of variances would likely risk being expelled from Police report listed A Heppner man was arrest ed for disorderly conduct and a Hermiston man charged with menacing, following a fight outside a downtown Heppner tavern Saturday night.

In flood plain designated areas, new housing is still possible, if builders use fill or raise foundations to place the floor level above the 100-year flood elevation. Since much of the flood plain area lies only two or three feet below the 100-year flood crest "an extra block in the foundation or a foot or two of fill" may be all it would take to build a new home in compliance with regulations. Ron Barrett of the Corps of Engineers told members of the Morrow County Intergov ernmental Council that a completed preliminary flood map for Heppner would be completed by May of next year. That map would become official, if an appeals proc edure fails to turn up any valid criticism of the date. Steele said the two FIA specialists reviewing the lone flood plain data are checking for validity "that would hold up in a court of law." "The only reason the city went along with this dam was to eliminate the flood plain in Heppner," Mayor Jerry Sweeney said, after seeing the preliminary map Tuesday for the first time. "I don't see how we could justify it now. ..I know the council won't go along with this." mi iiiiii iiimm MVSHIMS Arvin Heaters i r I Reg. $39.99 A All Colortrym Brackets & Standards ' 10 " 3 5 Other Sn Tools On I Sale Tool Jig Saw $29.99 7'4 Saw $34.99 2 i 4 Router $34.99 p 676-9157 (JO Heppner i ! 1 o&je.tii.Ci.ci.ci.cj.&J.cic.Ci.iii.Ci.
