<br />.... <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />~ ~v--)~~ <br /> <br />To: Fairplay Designation File <br />CC: jllarry F. Lang <br />From: Brian R. Hyde <br />Date: <:1:"0/20/98) <br />Re: Designation Issues for Fairplay FHBM <br /> <br />Backaround <br /> <br />On August 26, 1998 I met with Don Stevenson, Town Administrator for the <br />Town of Fairplay, and with Kent Baker, the town's consulting drainage <br />engineer, to discuss the proposed designation of the Fairplay Flood Insurance <br />Rate Map (FIRM). Mr. Baker was at the meeting because he is in the midst of <br />preparing a master drainage plan for Fairplay, and Mr. Stevenson and I thought <br />that his work was directly relevant to the town's floodplain mapping. <br /> <br />After I explained briefly why and how the CWCB carries out its "designation and <br />approval" activities, we got into specifics regarding the current floodplain <br />mapping available to Fairplay. The August 5, 1986 FIRM is simply a <br />republished Flood Hazard Boundary Map. It shows approximate floodplain <br />information along the Middle Fork of the South Platte River, which is the incised <br />stream the crosses Fairplay through the southern part of town. Most of the <br />town is on a bench high above the river, so it has not historically posed much of <br />a flood problem. <br /> <br />Annexations o..-J ~ 4 Po,Q ~ <br /> <br />There has been and currently is annexation activity in Fairplay, some of which <br />relates to floodplain mapping: <br /> <br />1) An annexation from a few years ago added <br />territory in the northeast, including a reach of <br />floodplain along Beaver Creek, a left-ban~ <br />to the river. Beaver Creek's floodplain is shown on <br />the FHBM for unincorporated Park County,tge<9ur <br /> <br /> <br />'^--t,.,t~ <br />~Uh~~'J> <br />rIPK/ W--t <br />'-6 <br /> <br />1 <br />
