In a letter dated <br />February I, 2000, Mr. Mark Mancini, Project Engineer, Department of Public Works, City of Aurora, <br />requested that FEMA revise the FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of updated topographic information <br />and existing grading changes along Westerly Creek from South Havana Street to approximately 140 feet <br />downstream of East Alameda Avenue. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Kevin <br />Wegener, Manager of Wastewater Operations, Utilities Department, City of Aurora; Mr. Mike Vinson, ICON <br />Engineering, Inc.; and Mr. Mancini. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and <br />FIS report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and floodplain and floodway <br />boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year <br />(base flood) along Westerly Creek from South Havana Street to approximately 140 feet downstream of East <br />Alameda Avenue. As a result of the modifications, the base flood elevations (BFEs) for Westerly Creek <br />increased, and the widths of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the <br />base flood, and the regulatory floodway increased in some areas and decreased in other areas. Based on <br />detailed data provided in the submitted report entitled "Westerly Creek, Letter of Map Revision, Havana At <br />Alameda," prepared by ICON Engineering, Inc., dated January 2000, and a facsimile message sent by <br />Mr. Vinson on May 4, 2000, we have determined that the lowest adjacent grades of structures located at the <br />following addresses are higher than the corresponding BFEs: <br /> <br />. 290 South Havana Street, Aurora, Colorado 80012 <br />. 9700 East Alameda Avenue, Aurora, Colorado 80012 <br />. 1070 I East Alameda Avenue, Aurora, Colorado 80012 <br />, <br />. 121 South Joliet Circle, Aurora, Colorado 80012 <br /> <br />No insurable structures are affected by the increases in BFE and SFHA width. The modifications are shown <br />on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel(s) 0180 F, Profile Panel(s) 35P, and affected portions of <br />the Floodway Data Table. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced <br />panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated September 7, 1998. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br />
