Honorable Robert M. Isaac
Mayor, City of Colorado Springs
P.O. Box 1575
Colorado Springs, Colorado

Dear Mayor Isaac:

Several preliminary copies of selected profiles for the City of Colorado Springs,
El Paso County, Colorado are herewith transmitted for your information and
review. This preliminary edition of the study has incorporated into it all
necessary changes made as a result of a technical review of the study contractor's
preliminary Flood Insurance Study since the Final Community COOrdination Meeting
held on February 13, 1984. The 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, 1968).

The purpose of this letter is to notify your community of the proposed' base
flood elevations which will be the basis for the flood plain management measures
that the community must either adopt or show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for partiCipation in the National
Flood Insurance Program.

Public notification of the proposed base flood elevation determinations is
being given in the Gazette Telegraph on or about July 16, 1984, and July 23,
1984. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a Notice of
Proposed Base Flood 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 legislation 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 Title 44, Chapter 1, Part 67, Code of Federal Regulations.
Copies of the Act and Regulations are enclosed.
