<br />I <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />What's the inventory of requests from communi- <br />ties that wish this zoning?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"Colonel Pendergrass, does some of your <br />staff know how many you are still working on <br />in your office at the present time?" <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: <br /> <br />"As an off the top of the head estimate, <br />1 would say we have got at least a half a <br />dozen requests still pending." <br /> <br />MR. SPARJ<S I <br /> <br />"I would say around fifteen state-wide <br />that we have pending at the present time. <br />Some are nearing completion and others have <br />not yet been started. As each flood exper- <br />ience occurs, we receive more requests. We <br />don't think of 1969 as being a year of heavy <br />flooding yet great damage was done in that <br />year from floods here in the South Platte <br />Basin. <br /> <br />Flood plain study requests will probably <br />continue almost ad infinitum." <br /> <br />MR. TEN EYCK,i <br /> <br />"1 have another question, Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />I don't know the statutes that well and <br />1 should, but are we limited to responding <br />only to local requests for flood plain zoning <br />designations or could we initiate this <br />throughout the state?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS I <br /> <br />"NO, we are not limited. In many cases <br />we have suggested to the local authorities <br />that they should get interested in the flood <br />problem based upon the general studies done <br />by the Corps of Engineers over the years." <br /> <br />MR. TEN EYCK: <br /> <br />"The reason I asked, Larry, is that, as <br />you know, the Governor has also requested <br />legislati~n which would develop a land use <br />commission to do some state-wide zoning, one <br />category of which might deal with flood plain <br />zoning or flood plain designation at the very <br />least. We may be called upon, if that is <br />
