..... . 2 confluence with Newlin Gulch and at the Lincoln Avenue and Jordan Road crossing. In addition, the FIRM has been revised to reflect modified elevations and floodplain and floodway boundaries of a flood having a l-percent probability of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Newlin Gulch from its confluence with Cherry Creek to approximately 2,150 feet upstream of Jordan Road. The base (lOO-year) flood elevations (BFEs) have increased a maximum of 5 feet over the effective BFEs of which approximately 4,9 feet are due to the more detailed data and 0.1 foot is due to the construction of the diversion channel. The BFE increases are from approximately 1,000 feet upstream of the confluence with Cherry Creek to approximately 2,000 feet upstream of Jordan Road. The SFHA has both increased and decreased along the revised reach because of the BFE increases. The Town of Parker is affected by the BFE and SFHA increases from just downstream of Lincoln Avenue to just upstream of Lincoln Avenue and from just downstream of Jordan Road to just upstream of Jordan Road. The BFE and SFHA increases are not all contained on the requester's property. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 0070 C, for the Town of Parker, Colorado. This LOMR hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM dated March 2, 1993.

Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for the new data. The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, within 90 days of the second publication in the Douglas County Daily News-Press, a citizen may request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reconsider the determination made by this LOMR.
