Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 97-08-390P The Honorable Pat Cronenberger Mayor, City of Littleton 2255 West Berry Avenue Littleton, Colorado 80165 Community: City of Littleton, Colorado Community No.: 080017 Panel Affected: 0005 D Ef~ective.~ate of FEB 1 8 1998 This RevIsIOn: 102-D-A Dear Mayor Cronenberger: This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated August 21, 1997, Ms. Cindy Love, Love & Associates. Inc., requested that FEMA revise the FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of a channel modification project along SlCD 6100 from approximately 1,650 feet downstream to approximately 50 feet downstream of Platte Canyon Road. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Robert Christensen, P.E., Project Engineer, P. R. Fletcher & Associates. Inc., and Ms. Love. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and FIS report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and floodplain boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along SlCD 6100. As a result of the modifications, the base flood elevations (BFEs) for SlCD 6100 decreased. and the width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, decreased. The FIRM was also revised to incorporate changes in the corporate limit boundaries between the City of Littleton, the Town of Columbine Valley, and the unincorporated areas of Arapahoe County. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel(s) 0005 D and Profile Panel(s) 28P and 29P. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated September 29, 1989. Because this revision request also affects the Town of Columbine Valley and the unincorporated areas of Arapahoe County, separate LOMRs for those communities were issued on the same date as this LOMR. 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.
