Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 MAY 05 1998 The Honorable Nancy M. Heil Mayor, City of Westminster 4800 West 92nd Avenue Westminster, Colorado 80030 IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO. 98-08-164A Follows Case No. 97-08-282C Community: City of Westminster, Colorado Community No.: 080008 Map Panel Affected: 08oo1CooI0 G Map Effective Date: August 16, 1995 218-65-R-N Dear Mayor Heil: We reviewed a request dated January 23, 1998, from for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). All required information for this request, including the required review and processing fee, was received on April 7, 1998. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined Lots 108 and 109 described below are not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded.iI.lany given year (base flood). Also, we determined Lots 110 and 124, as shown on the effective NFIP map,-remain in the SFHA designated Zone A. Although the property is shown on the current NFIP map in the unincorporated areas of Adams County, Colorado, it has been annexed by the City of Westminster. This property was elevated by the placement of fill after the date of the earliest NFIP map showing the area in the SFHA. Property Description: Lots 108 and 124, Lexington Subdivision, Sixth Filing, and Lots 109 and 110, Lexington Subdivision, Eighth Filing, as shown on the Plats recorded as Reception Nos. C0240939 and C0335625 in File No. 17, Map Nos. 631 and 759, in the Office of the Recorder, Adams County, Colorado Street Addresses: 14103, 14094, 14119, and 14135 Lexington Circle Flooding Source: McKay Lake This letter revises the above-referenced NFIP map to remove Lots 108 and 109 from the SFHA. Lots 108 and 109 are now in Zone X (unshaded), an area of minimal flooding outside the SFHA. Although the criteria for removal of Lots 108 and 109 based on fill have been met for this request, we encourage you to require that both the lowest adjacent grade (lowest ground touching the structure) and the lowest floor (including basement/crawl space) of each structure placed on the property be elevated to a level at or above the base flood elevation. The elevation of the lowest ground on a lot must be at or above the BFE for the lot to be outside the SFHA. Because the elevation of the lowest ground on each lot listed below is lower than the corresponding BFE, the lots are within the SFHA. These elevations, in feet, are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Lot Elevation of Lowest Ground Base Flood Elevation 110 124 5,235.2 5,238.7 5,246.1 5,246.1
