LETTER OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL
218-65-NS

We reviewed a request dated August 20, 1998, for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). All required information for
this request, including the required review and processing fee, was received on December 21, 1998. Using the
information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined the structure
on the property described below is 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). The structure, as shown
on the effective NFIP map, remains in the SFHA designated Zone AE. 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: Portion of Section 15, Township 3 South, Range 68 West, Sixth Principal Meridian,
as described in the Deed of Trust recorded as Instrument No. 00173562 in the
Office of the Recorder, Denver County, Colorado

Street Address: 5005 Washington Street

Flooding Source: South Platte River (West Bank Split Flow)

The elevations of both the lowest adjacent grade to a structure (the lowest ground touching the structure) and the
lowest floor (including basement/crawl space) must be at or above the base flood elevation (BFE) for the structure
to be outside the SFHA. Your submission included two elevation certificates providing different elevations of the
lowest adjacent grade. Because both of the elevations of the lowest adjacent grade to the structure, 5,140.1 feet and
5,141.1 feet, are lower than the BFE, 5,141.3 feet, the structure is within the SFHA; therefore, flood insurance is
required. These elevations are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. This determination is
based on the flood data presently available.

Should you wish to resubmit this request, the NFIP regulations provide a period of 90 days from the date of this letter
for resubmission of revised data without repayment of review and processing fee. Data submitted after 90 days will
be subject to all submittal/payment procedures.

The enclosed document provides additional information about your options for obtaining a LOMR. If you have any
questions about this letter, please contact Ms. Sally P. Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone
at [phone] or by facsimile at [phone].

Sincerely,
