<br />, <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, <br />the floodway modifications described in this letter, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable <br />to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of <br />the NFIP regulations. <br /> <br />This response to Mr. Guetig's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established <br />under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, including this <br />request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. <br />With knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, State and community officials may set <br />higher standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State of Colorado <br />or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these <br />criteria take precedence. <br /> <br />The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies <br />and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),42 U.S.C. 4001- <br />4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as <br />amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management <br />regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do not <br />supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the <br />effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. Our <br />records show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO <br />will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, <br />please contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Douglas A. Gore <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267 <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br />
