Date: November 8, 2007
Re: Ordinance No. 07-16, Series of 2007, An Ordinance Amending Section
17.44.040 of the Avon Municipal Code to Reference the December 4, 2007,
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Eagle County and Incorporated Areas
- First Reading
Summary:
The attached Ordinance No. 07-16 is proposed to update Section 17.44.040 of the Avon
Municipal Code to refer to the newest Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the Town of
Avon. The FIRM is a map provided by FEMA which delineates the floodplain. The current
municipal code section refers to the FIRM dated August 19, 1987 and should refer to the new
map dated December 4, 2007.
Background:
In 2003, Eagle County in partnership with the local municipalities and the Colorado Water
Conservation Board (CWCB) mapped the Eagle River floodplain. FEMA has included this
• new information into the FIRM that is used to regulate the floodplain. FEMA requires that all
local government jurisdictions that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program
formally adopt the most current edition of the FIRM and use it to regulate land use within the
floodplain.
Recommendation:
Approve Ordinance No. 07-16, Series of 2007, An Ordinance Amending Section 17.44.040
of the Avon Municipal Code to Reference the December 4, 2007, Flood Insurance Rate Map
for Eagle County and Incorporated Areas.
Proposed Motion:
I move to approve Ordinance No. 07-16, Series of 2007, An Ordinance Amending Section
17.44.040 of the Avon Municipal Code to Reference the December 4, 2007, Flood Insurance
Rate Map for Eagle County and Incorporated Areas.
