Hi Coll.een: This email is provided to address the fl,oodptain reference to FEMA Zone A on the Finhotm
site ptan tor 240 Rippy Ln. The purpose of Staff's request for additional information was to confirm that
the Appticant's site is not located within the 100-year fl.oodptain for the Cotorado River. As FEMA has not
pubLished mapping for this area, Staff provided the Appl,icant with the best avaitabte information for the
property in the form of Army Corp, of Engineer's Mapping competed in 1982 and 1987 (Panets C-18 & C-
19 see attached). Staff atso requested the Appticant provide additionaI surveyor confirmation on the
etevation of the Appticant's buitding site. The fotl,owing reftects staff's review:
The Army Corp. mapping provided graphic depiction of the 100-year ftoodptain to not inctude the
generaI area of previousty existing and proposed new structures.
The Army Corp. mapping inctuded surveyed elevations on the site and cross section etevations for
the 100-year ftoodplain (5498 ft. & 5496 at the site) which indicate that the proposed buitding site
is more than 1 ft. above the 1OO-year fl.oodptain.
Jason Neat (Peak Surveying lnc.) provided the attached review of topographic information and
etevations for the site, making the determination/representation that the buitding site is at an
etevation of "around" 5510 ft. This etevation is wetl above the Army Corp. mapping 100-year
fl,ood ptain cross sections.
Based on the above, no additional information on fl.oodptain is required and no ftoodpl.ain devetopment
permit needed based on a [ocation outside of and above the 100-year ftoodptain.
Based on proximity to the river and the character of the riverbank, it is recommended that the property
owner ful,l,y compty with the 35 ft. waterbody setback and give carefuI consideration to maintaining bank
stabitization and minimizing the potential, for soit/bank erosion.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additionat information. Thanks. Gtenn

Hi Glenn,
I have reviewed the sulVey prepared by Meridian Design (Kurt Olson) which shows topography at an
assumed elevation of 2OO at the barn slab. Topography yields a general elevation of 181' at a point
on the high water mark perpendicular to the proposed building site.
The lowest adjacent grade of the proposed building site appears to be near the 198' contour while
the highest adjacent grade is just over the 200' contour with a FF Elev of 20 1'. It appears there is
right around L7'of. vertical above tJle high water mark and the proposed lowest adjacent grade.
Thanks for the 1982 FEMA maps, that is great info. It appear thatZone X extents in that area are
somewhere in between the historic building and the high water mark with zone AE being further
toward the river. As I said we do not have actual elevation onsite but it appears that the cross
section 5496'is horizontally close to the proposed building site. I believe this to be a L929 datum
with the proposed building site being somewhere around 5510't. This is just based on some
preliminary review and not actual field data.
Let me know if you have any qr,restions at all.
Thanks,

Floodplain References on Finholm Site Plan
Hi Co[[een: Thanks for conveying our questions to the Appticant regarding the Ftood Zone References on
the Finhotm Site Ptan.
We have been informed of their chattenges in documenting a FEMA Adopted Map for their site. As a
resutt we've consutted the best avail,abte mapping which is the 1982 Cotorado River and
Tributaries Fl,ood PLain Study conducted bythe Army Corps of Engineers (dated 12182and7/87). These
maps show the portion of the site proposed for devetopment to be between 4 ft. and 20 ft. above the
mapped 100 year-ftood etevations of 5496 and 5498. I wil,t provide copies of the retevant panets from the
study (C-18 & C-19) for your files and to the Appl.icant.
To futty address this issue, ptease have the Appticant provide an etevation of the buitding footprint from
their surveyor adjusted to the proper datum from the 1982187 study to confirm the location outside and
above the 100-year ftoodptain.
Ptease contact me with any fottow-up questions. Thanks. Gtenn

HiJul,iann: Per our conversation a few minutes ago and my conversation with Jim yesterday, I'm
attaching the key panets from the 1982 Cotorado River Fl,ood Pl,ain Study that was done by the Army Corp
in 1982 & 1987. lt is our best availabte mapping and utitized for nearby subdivisions (as discussed with
Jim yesterday). lt shows cross section elevations for the 100- year ftoodptain adjacent to your site. lt
appears that the devetopabte portion of your site is above the 100-year fl,oodpl,ain however it is in
rel,ativety ctose proximity. To best resotve the question, ptease have your surveyor shoot an etevation for
the footprint of your proposed buil,ding (adjusted as necess ary for the datum used for the 1 982 fl.oodplain
study) to confirm your location above and outside the 100-year ftoodptain.
Thanks for providing the research information from Jason Nea[ and ptease feel free to have him give me a
catt if he has any questions regarding confirming the etevation. Perhaps he atready has shot an
etevation.
Thanks very much for your attention to this tast detait. Ptease catl with any questions. Thanks
again. Glenn

Glenn-
Per our surveyor, Jason Neil, Peak Surveying, please see screenshots below re: FEMA Ftood Maps.
As you mentioned, there are no avaitabte Ftood Ptain Maps for this site. The 2"d screenshot, Plat Notes, is for the
subdivision across f rom this project. They too, do not reference a FEMA Map, Ftood Line or Pane[ but instead
reference the maximum water [eve[ per the Colorado Water Conservation Board. As a reminder, we are
demotishing the existing structure and re-buitding in the same location on the [ot. Ptease review and advise.
