<br />Technical Issues: This study includes all major waterways within Larimer County and its
<br />incorporated communities and updates the maps to a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform.
<br />This restudy incorporates a number of new studied stream reaches and numerous revisions of existing
<br />studied stream reaches throughout the County. A number of Letters of Map Revision were also
<br />incorporated. Prior to this study, there were no previously printed Flood Insurance Studies for the
<br />Towns of Berthoud, Johnstown, and Timnath.
<br />Community response: This study was prepared by FEMA in cooperation with Larimer County and its
<br />incorporated municipalities as part of the National Map Modernization Program. One key element of the
<br />Map Modernization Program is community involvement throughout the process. Prior to publishing the
<br />new study, a final coordination meeting was held on October 18, 2005 in which members of FEMA,
<br />CWCB, Larimer County, City of Ft. Collins, and the Town of Wellington were present. Representatives
<br />of the other affected communities were invited to attend, but voluntarily declined with the knowledge tha
<br />the map would move toward becoming effective following the meeting. The study was fully accepted and
<br />endorsed by all agencies at this meeting.
<br />Staff findings: The subject Flood Insurance Study revises and therefore supersedes previous versions of
<br />the County's regulatory floodplain information. CWCB staff has determined that the subject floodplain
<br />information for Larimer County and its incorporated municipalities is in conformance with the CWCB's
<br />rules and regulations for floodplain designation and approval.
<br />Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board: 1) designate and approve the 100-year detailed
<br />and approximate floodplain information contained in said report for Larimer County and incorporated
<br />municipalities, and 2) authorize staff to prepare a floodplain resolution to be signed by the Director and
<br />transmitted to Larimer County, its incorporated municipalities, and FEMA. This action is recommended in
<br />order to meet statutory requirements.
