<br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Skifalides and
<br />Mr. Charles A. McKnight, P,E., Project Manager, Sellards & Grigg, Inc, Because this Letter of Map
<br />Revision (LOMR) shows the effects of a publicly sponsored flood-control project that reduces flooding to
<br />existing development, fees were 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 and FIS
<br />report, We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the flood discharges, elevations, floodplain and
<br />floodway boundary delineations, and zone designations of the base flood along Goldsmith Gulch, the South
<br />Monaco Street Parkway Overflow, and Cherry Creek, As a result of the modifications, the BFEs for
<br />Goldsmith Gulch increased in some areas and decreased in other areas; the width of the Special Flood Hazard
<br />Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, increased in some areas and decreased in
<br />other areas; and the width of the regulatory floodway increased in some areas and decreased in other areas.
<br />The BFEs along South Monaco Street Parkway Overflow decreased compared to the BFEs shown on the
<br />effective FIRM. The widths of the SFHA and regulatory floodway increased and decreased throughout the
<br />revised reach.
<br />
<br />The reduction in base flood discharge resulted in decreases in the BFEs along the revised reach of Cherry
<br />Creek. The width of the SFHA along Cherry Creek from approximately 50 feet upstream to approximately
<br />1,200 feet upstream of South Holly Street decreased, where backwater from Cherry Creek affects the area
<br />in the vicinity of Minnesota Drive, The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM
<br />Panels 0019 D, 0020 D, 0024 D, and 0025 D; Profile Panels lOP, llP, 53P, and 99P through 107P; and
<br />affected portions of the Summary of Discharges Table and Floodway Data Table. Profile Panels 99P through
<br />107P replace Profile Panels 48P through 52P. Panel 53P for Southmoor Park Tributary was revised to reflect
<br />the revised BFEs along Goldsmith Gulch, The base flood profile along the reach of Southmoor Park Tributary
<br />from its confluence with Goldsmith Gulch to Easunan Avenue has been deleted. The BFEs in this portion of
<br />Southmoor Park Tributary are controlled by Goldsmith Gulch, This LOMR hereby revises the
<br />above-referenced panels of the effective FIRM dated August 3, 1992, and the affected portions of the FIS
<br />report dated March 4, 1996.
<br />
<br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown on the first page of this letter. The map panels as listed
<br />above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your
<br />community ,
<br />
<br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:
<br />
<br /> Existing BFE Modified BFE
<br />Location (feet)* (feet)*
<br />Cherry Creek:
<br />Approximately 50 feet upstream of South Holly Street 5,373 5,373
<br />Approximately 1,500 feet upstream of South Holly Street 5,382 5,381
<br />Approximately I, 900 feet upstream of South Monaco Street
<br />Parkway 5,399 5,399
<br />Goldsmith Gulch (downstream of Evans Avenue):
<br />At confluence with Cherry Creek 5,395 5,394
<br />Approximately 100 feet downstream of
<br />Jewell Avenue 5,417 5,413
