February 13, 1984 CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS The "America the Beautiful" City DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS CITY ENGINEERING DIVISION (303) 578-6606 30 S. NEV AOA SUITE 403 P,O, BOX 1575 COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO 80901 Mr. Jerome M. Olson, Chief Natural & Technological Hazards Division Federal Emergency Management Agency Region Denver Federal Center, Bldg 710 Denver, CO 80225 Dear Mr. Olson: In preparation for the presentation of the preliminary flood insurance study to City Council on February 13, 1984, I have reviewed the preliminary maps. I have found several of the questions and comments presented to Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc. on March 4, 1983 and subsequently discussed at a meeting on April 12, 1983, have not been answered. I have listed those concerns on the attached comment sheets. In addition to the attached comments, I have the following additional concerns. The City of Colorado Springs is currently finalizing master drainage studies for five drainage basins. The drainage basin master studies are in Dry Creek, Cheyenne Creek, Cottonwood Creek, pine Creek, and Mesa Basin. The results of these five drainage studies may have significant impact on the base flood elevations in their respective basins. In parti- cular, the Dry Creek Master Drainage Study includes a floodplain mapping and was intended to augment the flood insurance study. Most of the studies will be finalized during the succeeding 90 days, and it is my intent to provide your office with the technical data for review in consideration of the final base flood elevations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ~i!!cerf.' :)/, .J/, Gar R.
