The first method, which is more preferable, requires that <br />receive a letter of request from you in the near future. I would appreciate it if you could send us a request <br />using the attached "sample request letter" as a guide <br /> <br />that <br /> <br />we <br />letter <br /> <br />As you are probably aware, the "Flood Insurance Study, Town of Holyoke, Colorado" that was prepared by the <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency includes detailed floodplain information for Frenchman Creek. This <br />study provides the most current regulatory floodplain information available to your community, We previously <br />delayed any action on the Holyoke Flood Insurance Study due to an extreme backlog of floodplain designations <br />throughout the state, However, due to the recent flooding, the community's interest in flood protection, and a <br />recent grant request by Mayor McCormick, the CWCB is proposing designation and approval of the Flood <br />Insurance Study at the July 1998 Board meeting. <br /> <br />The nature of this letter pertains to the existing FEMA floodplain study for your community and the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board's (CWCB) floodplain designation procedure. Designation and approval of the <br />existing floodplain mapping for Holyoke would enhance your ability to regulate the 100-year floodplains more <br />effectively, State enabling law for local zoning and subdivision regulation requires that technical information <br />used for regulation of floodprone areas be designated and approved by the CWCB. Designation and approval <br />of the floodplain mapping by the CWCB would provide benefits by helping the community to exercise its <br />zoning powers and to help reduce flood risks to new development in the identified floodplain. <br /> <br />I hope that the channel maintenance and tree trimming project on Frenchman Creek is moving forward as you <br />desire. It was a pleasure for me to participate on the "blue ribbon" committee last month in order to assist you <br />with that effort. I look forward to viewing the completed project in the near future <br /> <br />Dear T\1ark: <br /> <br />Mr, Mark Brown <br />City of Holyoke <br />407 East Denver Street <br />Holyoke, Colorado 80734 <br /> <br />Daries C.
