O. Box 239 <br />Gunnison, Colorado 81230 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Decker: <br /> <br />We are pleased to inform you that the City of Gunnison was officially <br />enrolled in the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program on <br />May 16, 1983. This date is the effective date for the authorization of <br />the sale of first and second layer flood insurance coverage at actuarial <br />rates for all new construction and substantial improvements to existing <br />structures within your community. First layer coverage on structures <br />built prior to the date of your entrance into the Regular Program will <br />continue to be made available at subsidized rates, unless substantial <br />improvements are made to the structures. <br /> <br />The actuarial rate zones and base flood elevations applicable to your <br />community are indicated on your community's Flood Insurance Rate Map <br />(FIRM). You should be aware that actuarial rates for insurance on a <br />structure increases as the first floor elevation of the structure de- <br />creases below the base flood levels established for your community. In <br />addition, it should be pointed out that on the effective date of the <br />FIRM, the FIRM supersedes all previous maps for the purpose of deter- <br />mining whether individual properties are located inside or outside the <br />area having special flood hazards; after that date, new construction <br />will be charged actuarial rates, which may be higher, if the construc- <br />tion is not built in compliance with the floodplain management require- <br />ments of the National Flood Insurance Program. <br /> <br />Based on our review of your community's ordinance which was submitted to <br />meet the requirements of Section 60.3 of the regulations, we find that <br />your ordinance satisfactorily meets the program requirements at this <br />time. On the basis of our acceptance of your submission, your commun- <br />ity's eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program will be con- <br />tinued. <br /> <br />
