Memorandum
Agenda Item 7
September 13, 1988

- New provisions added under the general standards section
of the regulation that address materials and methods of
construction as it pertains to plumbing, heating, septic,
sewage systems, etc.

- Clarification of applicant's floodplain development permit
requirements.

- New provisions added to the variance section that state
what uses shall be allowed as variances.

Addition to the provision that expands the waiver of
liability in the use of regulations to include the
State of Colorado and FtMA.

- Federal Insurance Administration changed to Federal
Emergency Management Agency throughout the model.

- Change Inner Floodplain Subdistrict to Flood Conveyance
District and change Outer Floodplain Subdistrict to
Flood Storage District to better reflect their hydrologic .
'meanings.

- New provisions added to the specific standards section
relating to flood hazard zones (basically for the
purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program).

- New floodplain development permit added to the appendix
for use by local administrators.

The staff feels that these amendments are necessitated by
Changes in federal laws, rules, and regulations" The revised
model regulations are also responsive to the needs of local
government and in some cases offer more flexibility in the
administration of local floodplain management programs.

Drafts of the revised model regulation have previOUSly been
circulated to interested parties. The staff feels that
comments on the draft to date have been fully taken into
account in preparing the amendments presented for your
consideration.

Recommendation

I recommend that the Board adopt these proposed revised
model floodplain regulations.
