<br />'''. <br /> <br />Honorable Charles Struve <br />Page 1\-10 <br /> <br />During the ninety-day period following the second publication in the <br />above-named newspaper, any owner or lessee of real property in the <br />community who believes his property rights will be adversely affected by <br />the proposed base flood elevation determinations may appeal to you, or <br />to an agency that you publicly designate. The sole basis for such <br />appeals is the possession of knowledge or information indicating that <br />the proposed base flood elevation determinations are scientifically or <br />technically incorrect. Only appeals of the proposed. base flood elevations <br />can be considered before the Office of Federal Insurance Hazard Mitigation <br />(OFIHM) makes its final determination at the end of the ninety-day <br />period. Note that the ninety-day period is statutory and cannot be <br />extended. Appeals of the proposed base flood elevations shall be based <br />only upon scientific and technical evidence contrary to that in the <br />OFIHM Study. However, appeals or inquiries regarding data other than <br />the proposed base flood elevations (i.e., incorrect street names, typogra- <br />phical errors or omissions, etc.), will be considered by OFIHM, and any <br />necessary revisions will be made before the Flood Insurance Study and <br />Rate Map become effective. <br /> <br />........'.//'i/ <br />.'.'.'.':;;;".,.....: <br /> <br />,........,,,,,,,,,.. <br /> <br />.'.',',',',:.:::::::.::. <br /> <br />If your community cannot submit technical data before OFIHM issues the <br />final elevation determination, you may nevertheless submit data at any <br />time. If warranted, OFIHM will revise the Rate Map after the effective <br />date. This means that the Rate Map would be issued with the elevations <br />as presently indicated, and flood insurance requirements would be enforced <br />accordingly, until such time as a revision could be made. <br /> <br />...-........ <br />............. <br />.........n.... <br /> <br />.....-.--.---. <br />............... <br /> <br />e.. <br /> <br />Private persons who wish to appeal should present the data that tend to <br />negate or contradict our findings to you in such form as you may specify. <br />We ask that you review and consolidate any appeals you may receive, and <br />issue a written opinion stating whether the evidence presented is suffi- <br />cient to justify an official appeal on behalf of such persons by the <br />community in its own name. Whether or not the community decides to <br />appeal, you must send ccpies of individual.appeals, if any, to this <br />office as they are received. If we do not receive an appeal from your <br />community in its own narr.e within ninety days of the second date of <br />public notification, we shall consolidate and review on their own merits <br />such individual appeals that you may forward to us and we shall make <br />such modifications of the proposed elevation determinations as may be <br />appropriate. If the corrmunity decides to appeal in its own name, all <br />. individual appeals must be consolidated into one appeal by you, since, <br />in this event, we are required to deal only with the local government as <br />representative of all local interests. OUr final decision will be in <br />- writing and copies will be sent to you, to each individual appellant, <br />and to the state coordinating agency. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />co. <br /> <br />co:, ,ce, <br /> <br />.': <br /> <br />:::...'.'..'.::",','. <br /> <br />...'."........... <br />
