<br />e <br /> <br />tit <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />FPR 99-495 <br />Flood Insurance Study, Arapahoe County, Colorado and Unincorporated <br />Areas, dated March 1991 (Cherry Hills Village portion only). <br /> <br />KEY ISSUES: <br />· The Flood Insurance Study prepared by FEMA contains detailed hydrologic and hydraulic information <br />along with 100-year floodplain delineations for streams within Cherry Hills Village. <br /> <br />· The 1991 FIS is consistent with the 1989 FIS for Cherry Hills Village. There was a project and a Letter <br />of Map Revision on Little Dry Creek that extended up to the western boundary of the City, but did not <br />directly impact the floodplain within the City. <br /> <br />. There are no apparent problems or controversial issues regarding the floodplain information for this <br />community. This resolution pertains to Cherry Hills Village only, and not to Arapahoe County or other <br />coummunities within the county. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br />Cherry Hills Village officials sent a letter to the CWCB requesting designation and approval <br />ofthe March 1991 report and maps. A telephone conversation was held between CWCB and <br />City staff, but the City did not find it necessary to hold a meeting to further discuss the <br />designation process. A site visit to the County may be performed at a future time to assess <br />floodprone areas and development activities. City staff is supportive of the Board's proposed <br />designation action. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for Cherry Hills Village <br />designating the March 1991 Flood Insurance Study and the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate <br />Maps. The detailed floodplain information contained in the report and on the maps meets the <br />Board's "Floodplain Designation and Approval Rules". The designation action will assure that <br />this floodplain information for Cherry Hills Village is explicitly approved by the state, thereby <br />complying with state statutory requirements. <br /> <br />7 <br />
