<br />
<br />Dear Mayor Tauer:
<br />
<br />This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective
<br />Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community in
<br />accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations, In a letter dated
<br />February I, 2000, Mr, Mark Mancini, Project Engineer, Public Works Department, City of Aurora,
<br />requested that FEMA revise the FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of updated topographic
<br />information and existing grading changes along Westerly Creek from South Havana Street to
<br />approximately 140 feet downstream of East Alameda Avenue, This request led to the issuance ofa
<br />Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) dated July 19,2000, However, in a letter dated August 9, 2000,
<br />Mr, Mancini informed us that the address was incorrect for one of the structures that we had determined
<br />to be outside the floodplain, In the July 19 LOMR, the address given for the structure was 9700 East
<br />Alameda Avenue, Aurora, Colorado 80012, The correct address is 302 South Havana Street, Aurora,
<br />Colorado 80012. This LOMR is being issued to reflect the correct address of the structure.
<br />
<br />All other determinations of the July 19 LOMR remain valid. As stated in the July 19 LOMR, we revised
<br />the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and floodplain and floodway boundary delineations of
<br />the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along
<br />Westerly Creek from South Havana Street to approximately 140 feet downstream of East Alameda
<br />A venue, As a result of the modifications, the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for Westerly Creek
<br />increased, and the widths of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by
<br />the base flood, and the regulatory floodway increased in some areas and decreased in other areas, Based
<br />on detailed data provided in the submitted report entitled "Westerly Creek, Letter of Map Revision,
<br />Havana At Alameda," prepared by ICON Engineering, Inc" dated January 2000; a facsimile message
<br />sent by Mr, Mike Vinson, ICON Engineering, Inc" on May 4, 2000; and Mr, Mancini's August 9 letter,
<br />we have determined that the lowest adjacent grades of structures located at the following addresses are
<br />higher than the corresponding BFEs:
<br />
<br />. 290 South Havana Street, Aurora, Colorado 80012
<br />. 302 South Havana Street, Aurora, Colorado 80012
<br />. 1070 I East Alameda Avenue, Aurora, Colorado 80012
<br />. 121 South Joliet Circle, Aurora, Colorado 80012
