<br />l <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Washington, nc. 20472 <br /> <br />CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br /> <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />Case No.: 96-08-023P <br /> <br />The Honorable Michael TaMer <br />Mayor, Town of Columbine Valley <br />5931 South Middlefield Road, Suite 101 <br />Columbine Valley, Colorado 80123 <br /> <br />Community: Town of Columbine Valley, <br />Colorado <br />Community No.: 080014 <br />Panel Affected: 08OO5C0435 J <br />Effective Date of <br />This Revision: FE B 0 6 1996 <br /> <br />102-D <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Tanner: <br /> <br />This is in response to a request for a revision to the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) <br />map for your community. Specifically, this responds to a letter dated January 22, 1996, from <br />Mr. David J. Love, P.E., Love & Associates, Inc., regarding the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map <br />(FIRM) for Arapahoe County, Colorado and Incorporated Areas. With his letter, Mr. Love provided <br />additional data to support an October 25, 1995, request for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from <br />Ms. Nancy B. Love, Chief Executive Officer, Love & Associates, Inc. Ms. Love requested that the <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of <br />revised hydrologic and hydraulic analyses of Drainageway D and Drainageway E from South Platte <br />Canyon Road to the South Platte River. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with Ms. Love's October 25 <br />.. letter; Mr. Love's January 22 letter; letters dated December 15 and December 26, 1995, from <br />Mr. Michael Command, Water Resources Engineer, Love & Associates, Inc.; and a letter dated <br />December 27, 1995, from Mr. David W. Lloyd, P.E., Chief, Design & Construction, Urban Drainage <br />and Flood Control District. Because this LOMR solely incorporates more detailed infonnation, fees were <br />not assessed for the review. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM, <br />and have revised the FIRM to modify the floodplain boundary delineations and zone designations of a <br />flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along <br />Drainageway D and Drainageway E from South Platte Canyon Road to the South Platte River. The <br />revised area includes property in both the Town of Columbine Valley and the City of Littleton, Colorado. <br />The FIRM shows the effects of the revision on both communities. <br /> <br />Changes to the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) are a reflection of the more detailed hydrologic and <br />hydraulic analyses, which indicate that the base flood would result in average flood depths of less than <br />I foot along Drainageway D and Drainageway E from South Platte Canyon Road to West Bowles Avenue <br />and in an area north of West Bowles Avenue and west of South Federal Boulevard. The SFHA <br />designation has been removed from the area along Drainageway E from just downstream of South Platte <br />Canyon Road to approximately 1,500 feet east of the intersection of Middlefield Road and Niblick Lane. <br />An area north of West Bowles Avenue and east of South Federal Boulevard in the City of Littleton will <br />
