, Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 98,08-244P The Honorable Dennis Reynolds Mayor, City of Littleton 2255 West Berry Avenue Littleton, Colorado 80165 Community: City of Littleton, Colorado Community No.: 080017 Panels Affected: 0005 D and 0010 D Effective Date of APR 0 8 1998 This Revision: 102,D Dear Mayor Reynolds: This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated March 17,1998, Ms. Nancy B. Love, C.E.O., Love & Associates, Inc., requested that FEMA revise the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) issued on March 6, 1998, to correct the zone designation for the areas north and south of Dutch Creek from approximately I, 100 feet upstream of Fairway Lane to the confluence with the South Platte River. The March 6 LOMR was issued in response to a request from Mr. David J. Love, P.E., also with Love & Associates, Inc., to revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of construction of two 12-foot by 25,foot, pre'cast, three,sided box culverts at Fairway Lane and channel modifications along Dutch Creek from approximately 11 0 feet upstream of Fairway Lane to the confluence with the South Platte River. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Ms. Love. Because this LOMR is being issued to correct a mapping or study analysis error, fees were not assessed for the review. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM. We have revised the FIRM to modify the zone designations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along the revised reach of Dutch Creek. As a result of the modifications, the zone designation for the revised reach changed from Zone X (shaded), the area that would be inundated by the base flood with average depths less than 1 foot, to Zone X (unshaded), the area that would not be inundated by the base flood. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel(s) 0005 D and 0010 D. This LOMR hereby revises the above,referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM dated September 29, 1989.
