Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 APR 0 7 1998 The Honorable Wellington Webb Mayor, City and County of Denver 1437 Bannock Street Denver, Colorado 80202 IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO. 98-08-248A Follows Case No. 95-08-038C Community: City and County of Denver, Colorado Community No.: 080046 Map Panel Affected: 0018 C Map Effective Date: September 28, 1990 218-65-RS-NS Dear Mayor Webb: We reviewed a request dated March 24, 1998, from for a Letter of Map Revision. All required information for this request was received on March 24, 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 structures on the property are not in the SFHA. 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 33, 34,41, and 42, Block I, Lawndale, as described in the Warranty Deed recorded as Reception No. 9400067521, in the Office of the Recorder, Denver County, Colorado Street Addresses: 2167/2165 and 2127/2125 South Lincoln Street Flooding Source: Harvard Gulch Sheet flow This letter revises the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the duplex structure on Lots 33 and 34 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 corrects the determination given in the Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill dated April 19, 1995, for Lots 33, 34, 41, and 42. The April 19 LOMR inadvertently removed the duplex structure on Lots 41 and 42. A determination for Lots 41 and 42 can be made when similar technical data, as required by the April 19 LOMR for Lots 35 through 40, is submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review. The enclosed document provides additional information about Letters of Map Revision. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Mr. Michael Grimm of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-2878 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596.
