All other site development will be located so as to nuUntain the 2o..foot <br />buffer from the floodplain limits. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />This stIbmittal package demonstrates that the development of the Verzuh property as proposed can <br />be constructed in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Standards and, in additiOJ1, can <br />meet the floodplain regulations for the Town of Crested Butte. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) <br />from FEMA will likely be required for the changes from the existiIig FEMA Zone A mapping.
