Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 APR 2 8 1998 Lakewood, Colorado 80226 IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO. 98-08-246A Community: City of Lakewood, Colorado Community No.: 085075 Map Panel Affected: 0005 C Map Effective Date: January 3, 1983 218-70-RS Dear We reviewed your request dated March 19, 1998, for a Letter of Map Amendment. All required information for this request was received on April 8, 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 24, Block 9, West Alameda Heights, as shown on the Plat recorded in Book 7, Page 44, in the Office of Recorder, Jefferson County, Colorado Street Address: 10 1 South Carr Street Flooding Source: South Lakewood Gulch This letter amends the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the structure from the SFHA. The structure is now in Zone C, 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. 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 (202) 646-2746 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. Sincerely, '\~~.
