Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 AUG 28 1998 LETTER OF MAP REVISION 218-65-RS IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO. 98-08-393A Community: Adams County, Colorado Community No.: 080001 Map Panel Affected: 08001C0730 G Map Effective Date: August 16, 1995 We reviewed a request dated July 13, 1998, for a Letter of Map Revision. All required information for this request was received on August 19, 1998. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined portions of the property described below are 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 in any given year (base flood); however, the structure on the property is not in the SFHA. Property Description: A portion of Section 34, Township 3 South, Range 64 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, as described in the Warranty Deed recorded in Book 5069, Pages 802 and 803, in the Office of the Recorder, Adams County, Colorado Street Address: 1562 Monroe Street Flooding Source: Comanche Creek This letter revises the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the structure from the SFHA. The structure is now in Zone X (unshaded), an area of minimal flooding outside the SFHA. Flood insurance coverage for the structure may be available under a low-cost policy (see enclosed document). Because portions of the property remain in the SFHA, any future construction or substantial improvement on the property remains subject to Federal, State, and local regulations for floodplain management. This Letter of Map Revision removes the structure from the SFHA designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In addition, because the structure is above the base flood elevation, it is not within the regulatory floodway shown on the NFIP map. The regulatory floodway is adopted and enforced by your community, and any proposed revision to the regulatory floodway must be submitted by community officials to FEMA for comment and possible revision to the NFIP map. The community should contact the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830 for guidance on the data that must be submitted to revise a regulatory floodway. The enclosed document provides additional information about Letters of Map Revision. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Ms. Sally P. Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-8242 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. Sincerely, '\~~. '\.~ Matthew B.
