<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 4 <br /> <br />FPR 00-498 <br />Flood Insurance Study, Town of Parker, Colorado, dated March 2,1993. <br /> <br />KEY ISSUES: <br />. The Flood Insurance Study and accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps prepared by FEMA contain <br />detailed and approximate engineering information along with 100-year floodplain delineations for <br />streams within Parker. <br /> <br />. New detailed information for a reach of Cherry Creek (Arapahoe-Douglas County line upstream to a <br />point about 2100 feet north of Stroh Avenue) revises previous information. <br /> <br />. The floodplain information for the above reach of Cherry Creek is being rescinded in Resolution No. <br />68. <br /> <br />. Floodplain information contained in Resolution Nos. 428, and 429 should remain fully in force with the <br />amendments described in the resolution and as noted in resolution No. 497. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br />A notification letter was sent by CWCB staff to the local floodplain administrator to inform <br />the Town 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 was <br />then held between CWCB and Town staff to further discuss the designation and other <br />floodplain-related issues. The Town expressed interest in obtaining digital Flood Insurance <br />.Rate Maps for use in their GIS system as soon as possible. They would like to be placed as a <br />high priority on FEMA's map update list. <br /> <br />The Town sUPPQrts the proposed Board action, and transmitted a letter to the CWCB <br />requesting designation of the 1989 and 1993 studies. The formal designation and approval for <br />this study is being taken under Rule 9.D.l, community request. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for the Town of Parker that <br />designates specific stream reaches published in the March 2, 1993 Flood Insurance Study and the <br />accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The floodplain resolution also rescinds previously <br />designated floodplain information for certain stream reaches that have been superseded by more <br />current information in the community. Formal action by the Board will assure that the floodplain <br />information has been appropriately recognized by the state, thereby complying with state statutory <br />requirements. <br /> <br />6 <br />
