Designation and approval of the c:xisting floodplain <br />mapping for your community would enhance your ability to regulate the tOO-year floodplain:; more effectively. <br />State enabling law for local zoning and subdivision rtcuIation requires that technical inf.)rmation used for <br />regulation of t1oodpr~ areas be designated and approved by the CWCB. Designatio)n and approval of the <br />floodplain mappinS by the CWeB would provide benefits by helping the communny to uacise its 70tling <br />powers and to help reduce flood risks to ~ ckvelopment in the identified floodplain. <br /> <br />The "Flood Iosuranee Rate Map, Town 01 MaDassa, CODejo5 Coaaty?' dated February 19, 1986 that was <br />prepared by FEMA includeg approximate and/or detailc:d floodplain information for A nun1bcr of streams in <br />your community, On your behalf and at no expense to the community. the CWCB is proposing possible <br />designation and approval of the floodplain information at itS September 2004 Board meeting. <br /> <br />The CWeB may consider the designation and approval of floodplain infonnatioD either by request of a <br />communIty or by acting on its own initiative. The first method, wbich is more pref~bk, requires that we <br />receive a lena ofrequest from you prior 10 the scheduled Board meeting. We would appreciate it if you could <br />send us a request lc:ucr using the attached "sample request letter" IlS a guide. <br /> <br />The engineering consulting firm of Love &. ASsociates, under contraCt to the CWCB, will be providing <br />tee Mical assistance with the floodplain review and desipation process. A lener is attached from Love & <br />Associates outlining s~ preliminary data needs and items they wish to discuss with you. An engineer with <br />Love &.
