.., \ .~ CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 9S-0S-IS3P The Honorable David Phifer Mayor, City of Greenwood Village 6060 South Quebec Street Greenwood Village, Colorado SOli I Community: City of Greenwood Village, Colorado Community No.: OSOl95 Panel Affected: OS005C0460 J Effective.Date of FEB 2 4 1998 This RevIsIOn: 102-D Dear Mayor Phifer: This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Arapahoe County, Colorado and Incorporated Areas (the effective FIRM for your community), in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated February 5, 1995, Mr. Michael D. Vinson, P.E., Development Review Engineer, City of Greenwood Village, requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to modify the leader for South Berry Lane so that the road does not appear to be in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood), and to relocate lines that represent base flood elevations (BFEs) shown on the FIRM along Goldsmith Gulch. An aerial photomap entitled "City of Greenwood Village," prepared by Reids Aerial Mapping, dated April S, 1993, was submitted with the request to support the relocation of the South Berry Lane leader. Mr. Vinson also requested information regarding refunds of insurance premiums for residents removed from an SFHA. Enclosed is a copy of Section 62.5 of the NFIP regulations that explains the refund policy. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with Mr. Vinson's letter. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report. We have revised the FIRM, to adjust the street locations of East Berry Avenue, South Berry Lane, East Berry Court, Big Canyon Drive, South Dallas Street, East Powers Place, South Clinton Court, South Chester Court, East Orchard Drive, Goldsmith Drive, and Goldsmith Place to match the aerial photomap and to modify the leader for South Berry Lane. The lines representing BFEs were also adjusted in the vicinity of Cross Section I to match information shown in the FIS report. As a result of the modifications, the width of the SFHA for Goldsmith Gulch did not change; the width of the regulatory floodway did not change; and the effective BFEs did not change. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel(s) OS005C0460 J. This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM dated August 16, 1995. 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. A review of the detennination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be made within 30 days. Any request to alter the detennination must be based on scientific or technical data.
