<br />- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 2 <br /> <br />FPR 98-473 <br />Flood Insurance Study, City of Westminster, Colorado, Adams and Jefferson <br />Counties, revised April 2, 1991 <br /> <br />KEY ISSUES: <br />. The revised 1991 FIS includes, by reference, the detailed and approximate floodplain <br />information for streams within the community that was included in the 1988 FIS, with one <br />revision. <br /> <br />. The only revision to the 1988 FIS included in the 1991 FIS is a change to the floodplain of a <br />portion of Middle Branch Hylands Creek based on the construction of two new detention <br />ponds. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br />The City of Westminster sent a letter to the CWCB requesting designation of the 1988 FIS, <br />along with designation of the 1991 revised FIS. CWCB staff met with the city's floodplain <br />administrator and discussed the proposed designation and the city's floodplain management <br />program. The city is supportive of the Board's proposed designation and approval of the <br />1988 FIS and the 1991 FIS as long as the previous designation of the "future conditions" <br />FHAD floodplain information remains in place. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for the City of Westrninster <br />designating the April 2, 1991 FIS. As is the case with the proposed designation of the 1988 FIS, the <br />proposed designation action would leave in place the designation of the FHAD detailed floodplain <br />information for floodplain management purposes and would designate, in addition, for flood <br />insurance purposes, the FIS information. The designation would rescind the previous floodplain <br />information for the portion of Middle Branch Hylands Creek and replace it with new information <br />reflecting the effects of the two detention ponds. The detailed and approximate floodplain <br />information contained in the FIS meets the Board's "Floodplain Designation and Approval <br />Rules". The designation, along with the designations of the 1988 FIS and the 1993 revised FIS, <br />will assure that current floodplain information for the City of Westrninster complies with state <br />statutory requirements. <br /> <br />5 <br />
