Should the City's Floodplain Management <br />Ordinance be subject to a lawsuit, these items would support enforcement <br />actions taken by the City. <br /> <br />We recommend adding the Substantial Improvement definition to assist <br />the City in determining when a structure must comply with regular <br />program regulations prior to reconstruction. The definition for <br />Area of Shallow Flooding can be deleted. <br /> <br />When the City receives the Proof copy of the Flood Insurance Rate Map <br />and Study, under Section 2F, reference should be made to both as well <br />as the date printed on the study. <br /> <br />In revising the Board of Adjustment ordinance to include variance <br />procedures, Section 3D should be detailed as noted in Section 4.4 of <br />the Guide. Upon revision of the ordinance, please include a copy of <br />the Variance Conditions and Procedures with the Floodplain Management <br />Ord inance. <br /> <br />When another draft copy of the Floodplain Management Ordinance is <br />complete, we would appreciate reviewing it for completeness and <br />compliance. <br /> <br />If you need further assistance, please contact me at (303) 234-6582. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, .._~~----' <br />---/ / //' /' ,\ <br />U~rv ('-----y.'
