~II. >>~ Federal Emergency Management Agency ~ '" Washington, D.C. 20472 ;Yo o 0 OCT 221998 IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO,99.0~-016A Commllllity: City of Steam~oat Springs, Colora<io ' Commllllity No.: 080159 ' Map Panel Affected: '0003 C Map Effective Date: April 19, 1983 LETTER OF MAP AMENDMENT 218-70-RS We reviewed a request dated September 30, 1998, for a Letter of Map Amendment. All required information for this request was received on October 16, 1998. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined portions of the property described below are in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the flood having a I -percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood); however, the structure on the property is not in the SFHA. Property Description: Lot 2, Meadowood, Filing No. I, as shown on the Plat recorded as Reception No. 390586, in the Office of the Recorder, Routt County, Colorado Street Address: 1235 Meadowood Lane Flooding Source: Walton Creek This letter amends the above-referenced NFIP map to remove the structure from the SFHA. The structure is now in Zone C, an area of minimal flooding outside the SFHA. Flood insurance coverage for the structure may be available under a low-cost policy (see enclosed document). Because portions of the property remain in the SFHA, any future construction or substantial improvement on the property remains subject to Federal, State, and local regulations for floodplain management. A portion of this property is located within the regulatory floodway for Walton Creek. The regulatory floodway is the area that must be maintained in an unobstructed condition in order to prevent unacceptable increases in flood levels. Therefore, no construction (including fill) may take place in a regulatory floodway that would cause any increase in the base flood level. The regulatory floodway is adopted and enforced by the commllllity, and any proposed revision to the regulatory floodway must be submitted by commllllity officials to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for comment and possible revision to the NFIP map. The commllllity should contact the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830 for guidance on the data that must be submitted to revise a regulatory floodway. The enclosed document provides additional information about Letters of Map Amendment. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Ms. Sally P. Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-8242 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. Sincerely, '\~~. ~~ Matthew B.
