Summary:
• The attached Ordinance No. 07-06 is proposed for consideration to update Section 17.44.040
of the Avon Municipal Code to refer to the correct Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the
Town of Avon. The current municipal code section refers to the FIRM dated January 25,
1983. The FIRM is a map provided by FEMA which details flood insurance requirements for
developments within floodplains. According to the August 19, 1987 FIRM, all of Avon is
located with in Zone D, which denotes "areas of undetermined, but possible, flood hazards."
Based on the Community Assistance Visit with the Colorado Water Conservation Board
(CWCB) held on May 10, 2007, in which a representative from the CWCB met with Norman
Wood and Jeff Schneider to.assess the Town's compliance with the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP). The only substantial issue resulting from that meeting was the realization
that the Municipal Code incorrectly referenced the 1983 FIRM, rather than the currently
adopted August 19, 1987 FIRM. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 07-06, Series of
2007, to bring the Town of Avon back into compliance with NFIP requirements.
It should be noted that a revised FIRM dated September 30, 2004 is currently under
consideration by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is anticipated top
be adopted in approximately November or December of 2007. A subsequent ordinance will
be brought before council shortly following adoption of the FIRM by FEMA.
