, Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D,C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 97-08-026P The Honorable Gary Lasater Mayor, Town of Parker Town Hall 20120 East Main Street Parker, Colorado 80134 Community: Town of Parker, Colorado Community No.: 080310 Panel Affected: 0070 D Effective Date of This Revision: MAR 0 3 1997 102-I-C Dear Mayor Lasater: 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 Pan 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFlP) regulations. In a letter dated October 17, 1996, Mr. Lawrence E. Dezman, P. E. , Vice President, Futura Engineering, Inc., requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to show the effects of the construction of the following projects along Jordan Road Tributary: the Bradbury Ranch Subdivision, a grass- and riprap-lined trapezoidal channel from approximately 1 ,400 feet upstream to approximately I ,200 feet downstream of Bradbury Ranch Drive, a 66-inch corrugated steel pipe under Bradbury Ranch Drive, and a detention pond from just upstream to approximately 800 feet upstream of Bradbury Ranch Drive. The construction of these projects affects the reach of Jordan Road Tributary within the Town of Parker from just downstream of West Parker Road to approximately 1,530 feet downstream of Bradbury Ranch Drive. Bradbury Ranch Drive is located approximately 1,400 feet downstream of West Parker Road (West Main Street). This request follows up on a Conditional Letter of Map Revision issued on August 14, 1995, All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Dezman and Mr, William Sweeney, Director of Public Works, Town of Parker, 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 floodplain boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Jordan Road Tributary. As a result of the modifications, the width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, for Jordan Road Tributary increased in some areas and decreased in other areas, Lots 8, 9, and 10, fronting Willow Reed Circle within the Bradbury Ranch Subdivision, were elevated by the placement of fill. These lots are located in Zone X (unshaded), an area of moderate flooding outside the SFHA, Although the criteria for removal of a parcel of land based on fill have been met, we encourage you to require that both the lowest adjacent grade (lowest ground touching the structure) and the lowest floor (including basement/crawl space) of each structure placed on the property be elevated to a level at or above the base flood elevation. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel(s) 0070 D, This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM dated February 2, 1996. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
