Dear

We reviewed your request for a Letter of Map Amendment. All required information for this request was received
on February 13, 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 structure on the property is not in the SFHA.

Property Description: Lot 25, Block 2, The Preserve at Greenwood Village Filing No.1, as shown on the
Plat recorded as Reception No. 54059 in Book 103, Pages 53 and 54, in the Office
of the County Clerk and Recorder, Arapahoe County, Colorado

Street Address: 5675 South Grape Court

Flooding Source: Greenwood Gulch

This letter amends the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the structure 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.

A portion of this property is located within the regulatory floodway for Greenwood Gulch. The regulatory floodway
is the area that must be maintained in an unobstructed condition in order to prevent unacceptable increases in flood
levels. Therefore, no construction may take place in a regulatory floodway that would cause any increase in the base
flood level. The regulatory floodway is adopted and enforced by the community, and any proposed revision to the
regulatory floodway must be submitted by community officials to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) for comment and possible revision to the NFIP map. The community should contact the Director,
Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at [phone] for guidance on the data that must be submitted
to revise a regulatory floodway.

The enclosed document provides additional information about Letters of Map Amendment. If you have any questions
about this letter, please contact Ms. Agnes De Coca of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at
[phone] or by facsimile at [phone].

Sincerely,
