Dear Mayor Warthen:

On September 29, 1976, a final community coordination meeting was held
for the Town of Palmer Lake, Colorado. Prior to that meeting our regional
representative provided you with a preliminary draft of the flood insur-
ance study for the community. This study includes certain base flood
elevations and was prepared pursuant to provisions of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Public Law 90-448, signed August 1,

CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Honorable Randall Warthen
Mayor, Town of Palmer Lake
P.O. Box 208
Palmer Lake, Colorado 80133

1968).

The purpose of this letter is to notify your community of the p~oposed
base flood elevations which will be the basis for the flood plain manage-
ment measures that the community must either adopt or show evidence of
being already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified fo~
pa~ticipation in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Public notification of the proposed base flood elevation determinations
is being given in The Tribune on September 8, 1977 and September 15, 1977.
A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of
Proposed Base Plood Elevation Determinations will be published in the
Federal Register.

Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-
234) is intended to assure an equitable balancing of all the interests
involved in the setting of flood elevation determinations. The legis-
lation provides for an explicit process of notification and appeals for
the community and for private persons prior to this office making the
final flood elevation determinations. We have outlined the appeal
procedure below for your information at this time. The regulations
developed by this agency to implement Section 110 may be found in Part
1917 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Copies of the Act
and Regulations are enclosed.
