Douglas County Planning
and current development

For the restudy for Douglas County, an initial community
coordination meeting was held on April 10, 1984, to set priorities
for study reaches. The meeting was attended by representatives of
FEMA; CWCB; UDFCD; SCS; the Douglas County Planning Department; and
J.F. Sato and Associates, Inc., the study contractor. The study
area was subsequently modified at the direction of FEMA to include
additional reaches to be studied by approximate methods. The final
study scope was reviewed with Douglas County Planning and
Engineering Department staff at a meeting on September 17, 1984.

An intermediate community coordination meeting for the Douglas
County restudy was held on July 29, 1985, to discuss the findings
of the study. Representatives of FEMA, CWCB, UDFCD, Douglas County
Planning Department, Town of Castle Rock, and the study contractor
attended the meeting.

At a meeting on September 30, 1985, FEMA decided that a Flood
Insurance Study should be prepared for the newly incorporated Town
of Parker using information from the restudy for Douglas County.

On May 16, 1986, the results of the study were discussed at the
final community coordination meeting, which was attended by
representatives of FEMA, the study contractor, and the community.
