ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> 410 FPR 98-470 <br /> Floodplain Information Report, Town of Fairplay, Park County, Colorado, <br /> September 1998, including the August 5, 1986 Flood Insurance Rate Map for <br /> the Town of Fairplay and a portion of the April 1, 1987 Flood Hazard <br /> Boundary Map for unincorporated Park County <br /> KEY ISSUES: <br /> • The FIR contains approximate information for the Middle Fork of the South Platte River and <br /> Beaver Creek,which is a tributary to the Middle Fork of the South Platte River. The floodplain <br /> information for the Middle Fork of the South Platte River was derived from the town's <br /> August 5, 1986 FIRM. Since the area that includes Beaver Creek was annexed to the town <br /> after the 1986 FIRM was prepared, the floodplain information for Beaver Creek was derived <br /> from a portion of the Park County April 1, 1987 FHBM. <br /> • The majority of the floodplain of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River is in a deep gorge in <br /> the southern portion of Fairplay. The town's drainage engineering consultant is preparing a <br /> detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for Beaver Creek within the current corporate limits <br /> as part of an ongoing master drainage plan. <br /> • The master drainage plan is analyzing local storm drainage problem areas, including the"Town <br /> 411 Ditch";there is no need to include these local drainage problem areas on the town's FIRM. <br /> • There is an ongoing proposed annexation effort for a property on the Middle Fork of the South <br /> Platte River downstream of the current town limits; a detailed floodplain study is anticipated if <br /> that annexation proposal proceeds. <br /> • The Town Administrator and the town's consulting drainage engineer requested CWCB staff <br /> assistance in the completion of the master drainage plan and in needed improvements to the <br /> town's floodplain regulations. <br /> COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br /> The Town of Fairplay sent a letter requesting CWCB designation of the town's 1986 FIRM. <br /> CWCB staff met with the Town Administrator and the town's consulting drainage engineer <br /> and conducted a field review of the map. The Town is supportive of the Board's proposed <br /> designation and approval of the 1998 FIR, including the 1986 Fairplay FIRM and <br /> appropriate portions of the 1987 Park County FHBM. <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for the Town of Fairplay. The <br /> floodplain information contained in the FIR meets the Board's "Floodplain Designation and <br /> Approval Rules". The designation will assure that the most recent floodplain information for the <br /> • Town of Fairplay complies with state statutory requirements. <br />
