AN ORDINANCE, establishing building lines or floodway
reservation lines along and adjacent to the Black Jack Branch of
Maline Creek and its tributaries, controlling the use of private
lands within such lines, providing for the policing of the lands
within such lines, and providing penalties for violations.
WHEREAS, a substantial area within the District depends
for drainage on the natural watercourses or streams known as the
Black Jack Branch of Maline Creek and its tributaries, which run
in or through the District,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

of flood waters.
Section Two. Building lines or floodway reservation
lines as described below are hereby established along the
centerlines, and adjacent thereto on each side at varying
distances, of the Black Jack Branch of Maline Creek and its
tributaries, the Dellwood Fork and the West Fork.
