(x) Historic structure. Any structure that is: (1) listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the U.S. Department of Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listings on the National Register; (2) certified or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Inte- rior as contributing to the historical significance of a registered historic district or a district preliminarily determined by the Secretary to qualify as a registered historic district; (3) individually listed on the State of Ohio's inventory of historic places maintained by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office; or (4) individually listed on the inventory of historic places maintained by Lakewood as a historic property under a program certified by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. (y) Hydrologic and hydraulic engineering analysis. An analysis per- formed by a professional engineer, registered in the State of Ohio, in accordance with standard engineering practices as accepted by FEMA, used to determine flood elevations and/or floodway boundaries. (z) Letter of Map Change LOMC). A Letter of Map Change is an official FEMA determination, by letter, to amend or revise effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps, and Flood Insurance Studies. LOMCs are broken down into the following categories: (1) Letter of Man Amendment (LOMA). A revision based on technical data showing that a property was incorrectly included in a designated special flood hazard area. A LOMA amends the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and establishes that a specific property is not located in a special flood hazard area. (2) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). A revision based on technical data that, usually due to manmade changes, shows changes to flood zones, flood elevations, floodplain and floodway delineations, and pla- nimetric features. One common type of LOMR, a LOMR -F, is a deter- mination concerning whether a structure or parcel has been elevated by fill above the base flood elevation and is, therefore, excluded from the special flood hazard area. (3) Conditional Letter of Map Revision ( CLOMR). A comment by FEMA regarding a proposed project that would, upon construction, af- fect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding source and thus result in the modification of the existing regulatory floodway, the effective base flood elevations, or the special flood hazard area. A CLOMR does not amend or revise effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps, or Flood Insurance Studies. (aa) Limit of Moderate Wave Action (LiMWA). A line shown on a Flood Insurance Rate Map to indicate the inland limit of the 1.5 -ft break- ing wave height during the base flood. (bb) Lowest floor. The lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (in- cluding basement) of a structure. This definition excludes an "enclosure below the lowest floor" which is an unfinished or flood resistant enclo- sure usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage, in an area other than a basement area, provided that such enclosure is built in accordance with the applicable design requirements specified in these regulations for enclosures below the lowest floor. (cc) Manufactured home. A structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include a "recreational 26
