A potential client wants to create a shortcut over a small river between his and his neighbor's backyard in NY (not in NYC). The river is 15' wide but designated as a FEMA Flood Zone AE(I believe that's the correct terminology). According to the Property Stakeout, the river is centered within a 70' wide Drainage Easement.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to verify if I can put the pedestrian bridge within the 70'?
If so, what are the controlling factors?
