provides $187,667 in Federal funds and $93,833 in local matching funds to develop a comprehensive plan for the flood impacted area. Subsequent to award of the contract, Toups Corporation of Loveland, Colorado, was contracted to develop the comprehensive recovery plan. The planning process was initiated in January, 1977. The comprehensive plan will guide redevelopment efforts in the flood impacted area. This will be accomplished by identifying suitable land uses in the canyon on a parcel by parcel basis as determined by natural constraints such as geologic hazards and legal constraints such as the flood plain zoning regulations. Numerous other critical determinants will be explored including public input from canyon residents obtained through an extensive public participation program. It is anticipated that the comprehensive plan for the flood impacted area will become part of the Larimer County Comprehensive Plan.- Figure 2 portrays the Program Schedule for the long range comprehensive planning effort. Included in the program schedule is the planning process, a time schedule, and designation of the method by which public input and review will be incorporated into the program. The program has been divided into two phases, Phase A and Phase B, to allow flexibility in defining Phase B through response to the needs of the BTRPO and Larimer County. In the definition of the program, the planning (flood impacted area) boundary was identified. The primary planning area includes the area within the Big Thompson Canyon between Olympus Dam and the canyon mouth, the area within the North Fork canyon between Glen Haven and the confluence of the North Fork with the Big Thompson River, and the flood impacted area between the mouth of the canyon and an area just north of Boedecker Lake. 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I J I I
