Board <br /> <br />February 23, 1999 <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Lang <br />Chief, Flood Control and Floodplain Management Section <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 721 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Lang: <br /> <br />In accordance with Section 37-60-106(1)(c) C.R.S., as amended, the City of Cortez <br />is requesting that the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCS) consider the <br />designation and approval of 100-year flood hazard areas within the City. Specifically, we <br />would like for CWCS staff to review the FEMA maps entitled "Flood Insurance Rate Map, <br />City of Cortez, Colorado' dated April 1, 1977, for designation and approval at the CWCS's <br />Board meeting scheduled for March 1999. <br /> <br />The City's most current floodplain map is approximate in nature and may not <br />accurately reflect 100-year floodplain conditions; however, it is the only floodplain <br />information available to us at this time. We would like to have the CWCS and FEMA <br />consider assisting us with a revision or update to our regulatory floodplain mapping in the <br />future. <br /> <br />If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me in the Public <br />Works Department at 970-565-3402 or come by City Hall, 210 East Main Street, Monday <br />through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />r3~~ <br /> <br />Bruce Smart <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />r:\pwadmin\bruce\drafts\fema.doc <br /> <br />TELEPHONE 970-565,3402 FACSIMILE 970-565,8172 <br />
