You may or may not know, my direct Supervisor passed away in mid-July. Since then,the Public Works Department has been reorganized and I find myself in a new role. I know excuses do not help you do your job, I just wanted you to be aware of some of my circumstances. I apologize for the delay and hope it hasn't affected the County's ability to contract this project. I have attached Exhibit IV-C and other requested attachments. Please let me know if you need further information.

BOX 758 -;;2116.1#6" GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 WEBSITE: WWW.CO.WELD.CO.US PHONE: (970) 356-4000, EXT. 3739 r FAX: (970) 304-6497 G December 3, 2012 Re: Spanish Colony Floodplain The Spanish Colony (aka Espanola) neighborhood covers approximately 9.5 acres lying north of the Cache La Poudre River. The neighborhood is located on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rating Map (FIRM panel) #0802660628C issued September 28, 1982. As can be seen on the attached Firmette taken from FEMA's website, the majority of the neighborhood lies in FEMA Zone C(outside the 100-year floodplain). The intersection of M Street with 26th Avenue, lying at the southwestern most corner of the Spanish Colony lies, in FEMA floodplain Zone B (the 500-year floodplain). The property adjacent to the south of the Spanish Colony neighborhood is known as 'the park' (parcel #080536100012) and is shown as lying in the "Current Effective" 100-year floodplain of the Cache La Poudre River on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rating Map (FIRM)# 0802660628C. The park parcel contains no permanent structures and is not proposed for improvements other than drainage. Please sec the attached pdf of the floodplain taken from the more recent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mapping of the Cache La Poudre River floodplain in the area of the Spanish Colony. That newer map, created based on 2003 survey and mapping, shows the limits of the Cache La Poudre River floodway (dark blue), the 100-year floodplain (light blue) and the 500-year floodplain (yellow). The floodway area (dark blue) on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' map can be seen to encroach into the lower (southern) portion of the park parcel(parcel #080536100012). It is FEMA guidance(44 CFR 60.3(b)(4)) and FEMA's Floodplain Management Bulletin 1-98, to use the most recent floodplain mapping as "Best Available" information for development decisions in floodplain areas. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mapping of the Cache La Poudre River is that data. Step 3 —Alternatives Analysis a) The proposed Spanish Colony project consists of re-paving of existing streets and installation of storm water drainage pipes and inlets. No building structures are proposed. As shown on the attached Exhibits, the majority of new paving lies outside the 100-year floodplain except for the intersection corner of M Street with 26th Avenue, lying at the southwestern most corner of the Spanish Colony. The proposed paving and drainage improvements within that small area of floodplain will be at or below the existing ground surface and so will not cause any additional flooding risk on adjacent properties or on the Spanish Colony. The No-Action Alternative, meaning no new paving and no drainage improvements, has the same result and also will not cause any additional flooding risk on adjacent properties or on the Spanish Colony. Page 1 of 2 C8\Grants\CDBG\Spanish Colony\Enviommental Process\DOLA Grant App-Sp Colony Floodplain HUD Step 8 12-3-12 doc b) The project objective is to upgrade the existing pavement and provide drainage where there is no facilities now. Feasible alternatives to the proposed project would be to remove the existing pavement and re-pave without adding drainage improvements thereby risking that even moderate intensity rainstorms would cause flooding into the existing homes. There is no way to provide the project objective elsewhere. c) The proposed project does not increase the risk to lives and property due of flooding. The project will need to obtain a Weld County Flood Hazard Development Permit that demonstrates that the proposed construction is compliant with State and FEMA floodplain regulations and does not cause an increase in flood water elevation. Step 4—Impacts of Floodplain occupation a) The project objective is to upgrade the existing pavement and provide drainage improvements. The construction will not raise the land surface and so the improvements will have no impact to that small portion of the paving project lying within the floodplain. There are no wetlands in the project area. b) The construction will not modify the existing land surface elevations and so the improvements will have no impact(negative or positive) to that small portion of the paving project lying within the floodplain. There are no wetlands in the project area. c) The project does not involve any wetlands. Step 5 —Floodplain and Wetland Mitigation a) Less than one-quarter acre of the project area lies within the 100-year floodplain. Because the paving will be replacing existing deteriorated street payment, the project will not have negative impacts to the floodplain. There are no wetlands in the project area. b) The project preserves the existing floodplain condition. There are no wetlands in the project area. Step 6—Alternatives Evaluation a) It is not possible to re-locate the project—there are 44 homes with deteriorated streets and no drainage infrastructure. The project objective is to upgrade the existing pavement and provide drainage improvements. b) The project objective is to upgrade the existing pavement and provide drainage improvements - it is not possible to re-locate the project.

The purpose of this project is to rebuild the roads and drainage system in the existing subdivision. Weld County's assistance in this effort would be to concrete pave all the roads with inverted crowns and construct drainage improvements. This project does not include the acquisition of any land or homes. The main goals of this grass roots project are to 1) remove heavily deteriorated existing road asphalt, 2) install drainage improvements to safely convey storm water to the existing system;and 3) construct concrete paved inverted crown road cross sections within the existing 30'subdivision rights-of-way.

O On behalf of Weld County, Public Works is pursuing a Community Development Block Grant to make road and drainage improvements with the Espanola Subdivision (aka Spanish Colony) at N. 23rd Avenue and O Street in the County, please refer to the attached puff that includes a brief project description, vicinity map and subdivision pictures. The purpose of this project is to rebuild the roads and drainage system in the existing subdivision. Weld County's assistance in this effort would be to concrete pave all the roads with inverted crowns and construct drainage improvements. This project does not include the acquisition of any land or homes. The main goals of this grass roots project are to 1) remove heavily deteriorated existing road asphalt, 2) install drainage improvements to safely convey storm water to the existing system; and 3) construct concrete paved inverted crown road cross sections within the existing 30'subdivision rights-of-way. The grant request requires us to notify all State divisions, which oversee the implementation of federal regulations. Therefore, if you can respond by Monday, December 17th letting me know you reviewed our request and whether you have any concerns or concur with our assessment that no additional impacts will be created by this project, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm looking for feedback on page 2, section 3, more specifically, the items below. In addition, I'm attaching a copy of the State Historical Society letter as a an example for you to see. Email suffices, but if you want to send a letter that works also.

Please forward this email to the correct person, if it is not you. I appreciate your time on this very important matter.
