Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 MAR 2 4 1999 LETTER OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL 218-65-R IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO. 99-08-152A Follows Case No. 98-08-163C Community: Weld County, Colorado Community No.: 080266 Map Panel Affected: 0605 D Map Effective Date: September 27, 1991 We reviewed a request dated January 25, 1999, for a Letter of Map Revision. All required information for tlm request, including the required review and processing fee, was received on February 23, 1999. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined the property described below is 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 in any given year (base flood). 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 32 through 35, Lot 36 except the southeast 10 feet, Lot 37 except the northwest 10 feet, and Lots 38, 39, and 40, Block 2; Lots 46 through 59, Block 3; Lots 5 through 9, Block 4; Lots 1 through 8, Lot 9 except the north 10 feet, and Lots 10 through 14, Block 5, Westwood Village Second Filing, as shown on the Plat recorded as Instrument No. 2607492, in the Office of the Recorder , Weld County, Colorado Flooding Source: Cache La Poudre River This letter revises the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the property from the SFHA. The property is now in Zone B, an area of moderate flooding outside the SFHA. 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. Although the criteria for removal of a parcel of land 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 enclosed document provides additional information about Letters of Map Revision. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Ms. Sally Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-8242 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. Sincerely, '\~~.
