attached the draft and it contains sections that I need assistance from each of you to help me complete. A lot of
the information regarding stormwater, environmental and engineering comes from the previous The Grove PDP
that was denied. Hopefully any modifications and/or additions to these sections will be minimal. Also, there were
3 conditions as part of the previous PDP. Will any or all of these conditions be necessary this time?
I will very much appreciate your help this week.
Thanks,

Ladies and Gents,
Quick talking points for floodplain issues, if they come up on June 16:
1. Some of The Grove property is in a FEMA 100-year floodway and flood fringe.
2. The applicant does not plan to modify the floodway.
3. The applicant has the legal right through Chapter 10 of Municipal Code to fill the flood
fringe without analyzing how it might impact neighbors. This may push water onto existing
neighbors, but is legally permissible by City code and Federal Code as an "allowable rise."
4. The Spring Creek FEMA map will be revised late in the Spring of 2012. Much of the
neighborhood to the south and west of The Grove will be removed from the map of the 100-
year floodway and flood fringe after that time.
5. 1 will notify all affected neighbors directly of changes to flood mapping on their property
when FEMA gives me the green light. I will get the green light 6 months before the effective
date, and will scramble to get a mailer out to everyone. Neighbors will have 4 to 5 months to
plan for new maps and benefits anticipated from the process.
6. Fort Collins has administered a 0.5-ft rise floodway since 1979. This is a wider
floodway than the current Federal minimum standard, but is the same floodway required by the
State of Colorado. We are no more restrictive than the rest of the state in how we draw our
floodplain boundaries.
Good luck on Thursday. Hope they don't keep you there too terribly late. Please refer anyone
to me with specific floodplain questions.
If I need to be at the meeting just -in -case, please let me know soon so I can arrange to have
someone pick my wife up from the airport.
