<br />Dear Ms. Page:
<br />
<br />We reviewed a request dated August 7, 1997, from for a
<br />Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). All required information for this request was received on October 27, 1997.
<br />Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NAP) map, we determined
<br />that Lots 1 through 11, 18, 19, and 20 on the property described below are not in the Special Flood Hazard Area
<br />(SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded
<br />in any given year (base flood). We also determined Lots 12 through 17 and Tract A on the property described
<br />below would be inundated by the base flood and are in the regulatory floodway. These lots, as shown on the
<br />effective NAP map, remain in the SFHA designated Zone AE.
<br />
<br />Property Description: Lots 1 through 20 and Tract A, Little Comanche Subdivision, as shown on the
<br />Plat recorded in Book 40, Page 59, in the Office of the Recorder, Arapahoe
<br />County, Colorado
<br />
<br />Flooding Source:
<br />
<br />Little Comanche Creek
<br />
<br />This letter revises the above-referenced NAP map to remove Lots 1 through 11, 18, 19, and 20 from the SFHA.
<br />These lots are now in Zone X (unshaded), an area of minimal flooding outside the SFHA. This LOMR removes
<br />the lots from the SFHA designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In addition, because
<br />the lots are above the base flood elevation (BFE), they are not within the regulatory floodway shown on the NAP
<br />map. The regulatory floodway is adopted and enforced by your community, and any proposed revision to the
<br />regulatory floodway must be submitted by community officials to FEMA for comment and possible revision to the
<br />NFIP map. The community should contact the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at
<br />(303) 235-4830 for guidance on the data that must be submitted to revise a regulatory floodway.
<br />
<br />The elevation of the lowest ground on a lot must be at or above the BFE for the lot to be outside the SFHA.
<br />Because the elevation of the lowest ground on each of the lots listed below is lower than the corresponding BFE,
<br />the lots are within the SFHA. These elevations, in feet, are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum
<br />of 1929.
