<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 1 <br /> <br />FPR 00-510 <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map, City of Northglenn, Colorado, March 31, 1981. <br /> <br />KEY ISSUES: <br />. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by FEMA contains detailed and approximate <br />engineering I DO-year floodplain delineations for streams in the city of North glenn. A Flood Insurance <br />Study (FIS) was not published along with the maps. <br /> <br />. The previously designated 1978 infonnation for Northglenn includes an FIS along with FIRM panels. <br /> <br />. The 198 I Flood Insurance Rate Map revises the corporate boundaries of Northglenn on the northwest <br />side of the community, and revises a small portion of the floodplain delineation for South Fork Grange <br />Hall Creek in the vicinity ofInterstate 25. <br /> <br />. The revised portions of the 1978 floodplain will be rescinded, and the new infonnation will be <br />designated in this proposed resolution <br /> <br />COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br />A notification letter was sent by CWCB staff to the local floodplain administrator to inform <br />the City of the proposed Board action. The floodplain administrator was also contacted via <br />telephone to discuss the Flood Insurance Study and the designation process. A meeting with <br />the City is scheduled for January 19, 2000, and it is anticipated that there will be no major <br />issues or controversies regarding the floodplain designation. At this time, staff is working <br />under the assumption, based on the telephone contact, that the City supports the proposed <br />Board action. Therefore, formal designation and approval for this study is being taken under <br />Rule 9.D.l, community request. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for the City of Northglenn that <br />designates the March 31, 1981 Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The floodplain information presented <br />on the maps supersedes the previously designated 1978 study. The designation action will assure <br />that this floodplain information for Northglenn is explicitly approved by the state, thereby <br />complying with state statutory requirements. <br /> <br />3 <br />
