                 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE FLOOD
                 HAZARD REGULATIONS TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF A
                 HANGAR FACILITY AT LOVELL FIELD MUNICIPAL

       	    	 WHEREAS, plans have been submitted to the Building
       Official of the City of Chattanooga for proposed construction by
       Provident Companies, Inc. of a new hangar facility and associated 

       office space at Lovell Field Municipal Airport; and
       	    	 WHEREAS, the finished floor level of these facilities
       will be at 665.50 Mean Sea Level and the base flood elevation
       shows the need for a variance of 5.5 feet from the 100 year flood 

       plain elevation 671.00 Mean Sea Level; and
       	    	 WHEREAS, to disallow the variance would cause undue
       hardship that would be created by requiring the elevation of the
       site to be raised for the proposed structure; and
       	    	 WHEREAS, the owner understands the additional risks
       which would be involved if the building is constructed below the
       100 year flood plain elevation of 671.00 Mean Sea Level; and
       	    	 WHEREAS, the Building Official has determined that the
       granting of a variance for said construction would not result in
       increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety,
       extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or 

       victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws 

       or regulations; and
0C
       	    	 WHEREAS, the City Council has held a hearing on the
       recommendations of the Building Official that a variance be
       granted to Provident Companies, Inc. to permit construction of a
       new hangar facility at Lovell Field Municipal Airport;
                                NOW, THEREFORE,
       	    	 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
       CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, That the applicant, Provident Companies,
       Inc., has made a showing of good and sufficient cause for a
       variance, that failure to grant the variance would result in
       exceptional hardship to the applicant, the variance requested is
       the minimum necessary concerning the flood hazard to afford the
       relief requested, and that granting of the variance will not
       result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public
       safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause
       fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with 
existing
       local laws or regulations;
       	    	 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That there be and is hereby
       granted a variance to Provident Companies, Inc. authorizing
       construction of a new hangar facility and associated office space 

       at Lovell Field Municipal Airport, with finished floor elevation
       at 665.50 Mean Sea Level.
