<br />the City of Creecle ~as recen"ly informed ~hat the Federal Emergency
<br />Y~n"gc~cnt Agency is ~onvcr~ing ~s to the Regular Phase of the Na~ional
<br />Flood In.ura~ce PTogra~ wi~hou~ conducting a detailed flood insura~ce
<br />study and not settin~ .~ecific Elood elev~ticns. This action disturbs
<br />the City Cou~cil grea:ly.
<br />
<br />A considerable area of ~he City has bee~ de$igna:ed to be in
<br />the flood zo"e,..hichw..aTecoc.vicced should not be inc1uded. Our
<br />only basis for thiS o~~nio~ is O~e chat is very eviden~ and rational,
<br />that bei~g c~e existe~~e ~f s" U.S. ~.my Cor?s of Engineers flood
<br />coctrol flume ~hro\.lg~ ~he v~~y ~~ea :~e"tified as in the flood zooe.
<br />It a~~ears that this "cruc~ure, buile in the late 1940's was not
<br />ta.ken into consideracion ..-,\en che ~lood' hazard bound,ny map was
<br />compiled (dac..d 1/16/7&). Fuche""ore, ~e b..lieve this stTucture waS
<br />sufficiently designed by the ~~y Corps co handle at least a flood
<br />of one hundred year magnicude.
