City Manager McCown stated that the purpose of the meeting was
to consider an ordinance that would r epeal the old floo d plain ordinance
adopted in 1971 and enact a new flood plain ordinance, definitions, e tc.
City Manager McCown stated that the changes i n the ordinance were made
necessary be ca us e of the changes in the r egulations regarding flood
plain insurance as administered by the Federal I nsura n ce Administration.
City Manager McCown introduced Mr. Doug Gore, the local Fe d eral Insurance
Administration representative, to give the Council some background on the
changes and the purpose of having flood plain insu ran ce . City Manag e r
Mccown also stated that Director of Community Development Wanush would
follow Mr. Gore to r ead through the ordinance in detail and point out the
significant cha nges in the ordinance .
Mr. Doug Gore, Flood Plain Management Specialist fo r the Federal
Insurance Administration, 4645 S. Norfolk Way, Aurora, appeared before the
Co un cil . Mr . Gore gave a brief history about the national flood insu rance
program, its purposes and how the program related to the City of Englewood.
Mr. Gore stated this was the first time since 1971 that the gove rnment
has require d changes in the o rd inance and the a doption of the c hanges are
necessary for co ntinuation in the flood insurance program.
Councilman Mann asked Mr . Gore to explain what the change s were
since Mr. Gore had indicated that th e present ordinance was in some ways
too restrictive ; and why the City had 90 days to change it .
Mr. Gore stated that the present ordinance does not allow fo r
a ny development period if interpreted in the strictness sense; do es not
meet the water and sewer requireme nts ; does not provide fo r the tieing down
of mobile homes; does not require all new construction to be elevated above
the 100 year flood plain elevation; and does not provide fo r any flood
proofing. Mr. Gore stated that the new ordinance requires permits to
develop a flood plain area including the placement of mobile homes and
prefabricated buildings ; it requires that all permits be reviewed by
the stipulated governmental bodies; and it requires that all permits
be reviewed to assure that sites are protected against flooding and the
attendant problems of flo oding.
In answer to Mayor Taylor's question, Mr. Core stated that present
policy holders could r e new their coverage and new policies could be pur-
chased if the Council passed the ordinance. If the Cou ncil chose not to
pass the ordinance, then no new policies could be purchased and all floo d
coverage would discontinue after each policy expire d.
******
In answer to Councilman Clayton's question, Mr. Core stated that
if the Council passed the ordinance then present policy holders would be
allowed to renew their policies even though their existing structures did
n ot comply with the new regulations set forth in the proposed ordinance ,
i.e. grandfathered in . Howev e r, Mr . Core stated, if the present policy
holders decided to add onto their structures, the addition would have to

meet the new r egulations. Mr. Gore also stated that all ne w development
in the floo d plain area would have to comply with the new regulations.
Mr. Gore agreed with Councilman Smith's stateme nt that if the
City passed th e ordinance then people living in the flood plain are a who
do not have a policy can purchase a policy without c hang i ng the existing
structure .
Councilman Mann, Councilman Smith, Mr. Gore and Director of
Community Development Wanush discussed the map upon which the flood
plain area is based; why some areas have been eliminated; and the need fo r
some changes i n the map.

flood plain area and explained the survey to Councilman Mann. Councilman
Mann accepted the report as another basis for determining the flood plain
area .

Director of Community Dev elo pment Wanush appeared before the
Council . Director Wanush stated that the City has not issued building
permits contrary to City ordinance as was indicated ea rlier in this meeting .
Director Wanush stated that his interpretation of the ordinance certainly
allows for construction in the flood plain area under ce rtain conditions
and all permits that have been issued fall within the conditions of the
ordinance ,

Plain Zoning section of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Article 22.4b,

the signs were post ed seventeen days prior to this public hearing, whereas,
the require ment is fifteen days prior,
Director Wanush stated that there were four major changes in the
ordinance: 1) the effect of the amendments add some severe r es tri c tions on
the existing mobile homes parks when a unit is replaced; 2) administration of
the permits are e xp e dit e d because the process has bee n streamlined; 3) deta il
variance procedures are added; 4) the City is officially adopting the map

Mr. Jones requested that any amendments to the map be initiate d
as soon as the new projects, i .e. Holly Dam, etc., are completed to facilitate
tne riling of an accurate map with the FIA,
ln reply to Mr . Jones's question to r e publish the ordinance because
or cne magnitude of the changes, City Attorney Berardini stated that he thou gh t
the changes were subsistent in nature and the ordinance should probably be r epu b-
lished. City Attorney Berardini advised th e Council of two alternatives in
handl i ng this matter . City Attorney Berardini stated that the Council could
continue the public hearing, r epublish the ordinance with the adopted changes
and reintroduce the bill; or, the Council could adopt the ordinance at this
meeting and order the publication of the ordinance in full with the adopted
changes.
Upon Councilman Weber's request, Mr. Gore restated that if the
City decided not to participate in the program, then the City would not be
eligi ble for any recovery loans or grants from the federal government upon

the me aning of the e mergency clause in the ordinance ,

is looking i nto the inclusion of th e e xempt areas onto the flood map .
Mr. Gore explained that the flood elevation is the height the
water would attain in the e vent of a 1 0 0 year flood,
In reply to Mr. Watson's question on r e quirements for rebuilding
his structure in the event of a flood, Director Wanush stated that the vari-
ance procedure section of the ordinance would allow Mr . Watson to rebuild his
structure similar to the one that was destroyed even if the structure is 50 %
destroyed.
Larry Nowacki, 701 W. Hampden Ave., appeared before Council and
questioned the language of the ordinance . Mr . Nowacki presented a copy of
fe deral r egulations dat ed March 25, 1977 concerning insurance purchase
r equi r e ments in the floo d i nsurance program . After a lengthly discussion,
it was determined that the federal regulations su bmitt e d by Mr. Nowacki
had been superceded by President Ca rter's action in November, 1977, and we re
not pertinent at this time .
Mr. Nowacki stated that there were se ve ral inaccuracies on th e flood
plain map. One e xample , Mr. Nowacki stated, was that the location of the
Englewood Sewer Plant was in an area that is subjec t to the 100 year flood .
Direc tor Wanush r equeste d Mr. Nowacki to show evidence that the
sewer plant is in the 100 year flood plain,

Mr. No wa c k i r e pl ie d that that information would have t o come
f r om the Urban Drainage District. Mr . Nowacki s tat e d tha t it was his opinion
that any wate r that would flo w ov er Dartmouth on the north side would have
to flow into the sewer plant a r ea .
Di r ec tor Wanush we lcome d any s uspected i na cc uracies as th ey
r ela t e t o th e fl ood plain map t o be checked out a nd corrected .
Mr. Nowacki expressed con ce rn over th e lack of a d efinition
f or a flo odway and limited r eference made to a f loodwa y in the ordinance.
At t he r e quest of the Council, Mr. Go r e e xplai ned the mea ning
or a r egulatory f loodway and how th e FIA d e rive d a t deterimi ni ng the 100
year floo d plain .
Gerri Von Frellick, 10950 W. 26 th Av e ., Lakewood, appeared befor e
the Council and d iscuss e d h is opinion of the impact on the community if th e
Counc i l decided to pass th e ordinance . Mr. Von Frellick stat e d that th e
Ci t y of En glewoo d would be tak i ng on a "senio r partner, i.e . th e fe de r al
governme nt " who would d ic tate zon ing changes fo r the City and the Co un cil
needs more time to consider th e o rd i nance and the proposed c ha nges . Mr. Von
Frellick also stated that the Council appears to in a controve rs y ove r th is
ordinance when i t should be conce rne d with Little Dry Creek. Mr. Von Fr ellick
t urther s tated that bus i ness ess wi l l not be attracted t o th is area if th ey
d iscover the area to be i n a f lood plain and analyze the risks involved
mon e t a r ily .
City Manager McCown asked fo r Mr. Von Fr ellick's opinion agai n
on why wo uldn't a d e ve loper bui l d und e r th e new ord i nan ce w~e n h e al r ea dy
has to conform to the old ordinance,
Mr. Von Frellick r e plied that th e controversy has be e n beco me
exaggerated and will dramatize th e effect of the a r ea bei ng in a flood
plain ; consequen tly, d evelopment will decline a nd the downtown area will
continue to be a blight a r ea .
Councilman Smit h r efute d man y of Mr . Von Frellick 's co mm ents
pa r ticularly the ordina nce requiring the business owners in the downt own
a r ea to r econstruct their bu sinesses in order to conform to th e new r e-
gu la t ions becaus e the va r ia nce procedure provi de s fo r th e cond itions of
r econs truct ion . Co un cilman Smith also r ef ut e d Mr. Von Frellick's co mm e nt s
on th e ins ura nce rat es and coverage availability. Councilman Smith s t ated
that as fa r as he was a war e CO NSENSUS was the only g r o up exp r essing op po si·-
tion to th is ordinance and the only group implying that a controversy
exis t e d.

ORDINANCE NO. 1 , SERIES OF 1978.
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AN D RE-ENACTING CHAPTER 22.4B, AND AMENDING
CHAPTER 22.8 ENTITLED, 'FLOOD PLAIN(FP) ', AND 'DEFINITIONS'
RESPECTIVELY, RELATING TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS OF SPECIAL
FLOOD HAZARD ; AND ADOPTING BOUND ARY MAPS TH ERE FOR; PROHIBITING
CERTAIN USES DANGEROUS TO LIF~ AND PROPERTY WITHIN SAID AREAS;
RESTRICTING USES HAZARDO US TO PUBLIC HEALTH; REQUIRING THOSE
USES PERMITTED IN FLOOD PLAIN ;DISTRICTS TO BE PROTECTED AGAINST
FLOODS BY FLOOD PROOFING; REGULAT ING THE DESIGN AND METHOD OF
CONSTRUCTION OF ALL STRUCTURES WITHIN SAID DISTRICT AND GENERALLY
TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THE BURDEN OF EXTRAORDINARY FINANCIAL
EXPENDITURES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH REASONABLE FLOOD PLAIN
MANAGEMENT AND TO PRESERVE THE WATER CARRYING CHARACTERISTICS
AND CAPACITIES OF WATER COU RSE S BOTH NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FOR
THE CONVEYANCE OF STORM AND FLOOD WATERS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, as follows:
Section 1.
That Chapter 22.4B o f t he Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance,
(Ordinance No. 26, S er ies 1963 as amended) is hereby repealed and
re-enacted to read as follows:
§22.4B-l Legislative Pu r pose and Intent
To promote the p~bi±e hea l th, safety and welfare OF
THE PUBLIC, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood
hazards; and to promote wise use of the flood plain, this zone
district has been established to regulate the uses within the
100-year flood plain. wi th the £oiiow±ng p~rposes intended.
THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD ARE INDENTIFIED BY THE FEDERAL
INSURANCE ADMINISTRATION ON FLOOD HAZARD BOUNDARY MAPS AND
FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS , WHICH MAPS ARE ON FILE IN THE
ENGLEWOOD CITY HALL IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK. BY ADOPTING
THIS ZONE DISTRICT, THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES ARE INTENDED:
(a) To reduce the hazard of floods to life and
property through :
(1) Proh i biting certain u se s which are
,\
'!
I • •
•
•
• •
d a ngerous to life or property in time of flood;
(2) Restricting uses which would be hazardous
to the public health in time of flood;
(3) Restricting uses which are particularly
susceptible to flood damage, so as to alleviate
hardship and reduce demands for public expenditures
for relief and protection;
(4) Requiring permitted flood plain uses, in-
cluding public facilities which serve such uses,
to be protected against floods by providing flood
proofing and general flood protection at the
time of initial construction.
(b) To protect flood plain occupants from a flood
which is or may be caused by their own, or other, land use
and which is or may be undertaken without full realization of the danger, through:
(1) Regulat i ng the manner in which structures
designed for human occupancy may be constructed
so as to prevent danger to human life within
such structures;
(2) Regulating the method of construction of
water supply and sanitation systems so as to
prevent disease, contamination and unsan i tary conditions;
(3) Delineating and describing areas that could
be inundated by flood so as to protect individuals
from p urchasing flood plain lands for purposes
which are not in fact suitable.
(c) To protect the public from the burden of extra-
ordinary financial expenditures for flood control and relief by
regulating all uses within the flood plain areas so as to produce
a method of construction and a pattern of development which will
minimize the probability of damage to property and loss of life
or injury to the inhabitants of the flood hazard areas.
(d) To protect the natural areas required to convey
flood flows so that they develop in a manner consistent with
reasonable flood plain management.

Bistriet shaii be as they appear on Soning Haps on fiie in the
Planning Bepartfflent. ~he bottndary lines on the fflap shall be
determined by the ttse 0£ the ~eale appearing on the Map. Where
there is a eonfiiet between the bottndary lines illustrated on
the Hap and actual £ieid eonditions7 the dispttte shall be settled
aeeording to cc.3B-?7 nHapping Bisptttesn of this €hapter.

FLOOD HAZARD; AND ADOPTING BOUNDARY MAPS THEREFOR; PROHIBITING
CERTAIN USES DANGEROUS TO LIF~ AND PROPERTY WITHIN SAID AREAS;
RESTRICTING USES HAZARDOUS TO PUBLIC HEALTH; REQUIRING THOSE
USES PERMITTED I N FLOOD PLAIN •DISTRICTS TO BE PROTECTED AGAINST
FLOODS BY FLOO D PROOFING; REGULATING THE DESIGN AND METHOD OF

NOW, THEREFORE, BE I T ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, as follows:
Section 1.
That Chapter 22.4B of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance,
(Ordinance No. 26, Series 1963 as amended) is hereby repealed and
re-enacted to read as foll o ws:
§22.4B-l Legisla tive Purpose and Intent
To promote the ptlbiie health, safety and welfare OF
THE PUBLIC, to minimize flo od losses in areas subject to flood
hazards; and to promote wise use of the flood plain, this zone
district has been established to regulate the uses within the
100 -y ear flood plain. wieh ehe £oiiowing pttrposes ineended.
THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD ARE INDENTIFIED BY THE FEDERAL
INSU RANCE ADMINISTRATION ON FLOOD HAZARD BOUNDARY MAPS AND
FLOO D INSURANCE RATE MAPS, WHICH MAPS ARE ON FILE IN THE
ENG LEWOOD CITY HALL IN TH E OFFICE OF THE CITY CLE RK. BY ADOPTING
THIS ZONE DISTRICT, THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES ARE INTENDED:
(a) To reduce the hazard of floods to life and
prope rty through:
(1) Prohibiting certain uses which are
•
I • •
-
•
•
• •
dangerous to life or property in time of
flood;
(2) Restricting use s which wou l d be hazardous
to the public health in time of flood;
(3) Restricting uses which are particularly
susceptible to flood damage, so as to alleviate
hardship and reduce demands for public expenditures
for relief and protection;
(4) Requiring permitted flood plain uses, in-
cluding public facilities which serve such uses,
to be protected against floods by providing flood
proofing and general flood protection at the
time of initial construction.
(b) To protect flood plain occupants from a flood
which is or may be caused by their own, or other, land use
and which is or may be undertaken without full realization of
the danger, through:
(1) Regulati ng the manner in which structures
designed for human occupancy ma y be constructed
so as to prevent danger to human life within
such structures;
(2) Regulat ing the method of construction of
water supply and sanitation systems so as to
prevent disease, contamination and unsanitary
conditions;
(3) Delineating and describing areas that could
be inundated by flood so as to protect individuals
from purchasing flood plain lands for purposes
which are not in fact suitable.
(c) To protect the public from the burden of extra-
ordinary financial expenditures for flood control and relief by
regulating all uses within the flood plain areas so as to produce
a method of construction and a pattern of development which will

is based on engineering and scientific methods of study.
Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may
be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams
and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter does
not imp ly that the areas outside of the flood plain area
boundaries or land uses permitted within such areas will always
be totally free from flooding or flood damages. Nor shall
there be li a bility on the part of, or a c ause of action against,
the City of Englewood or any officer or employee thereof for
any flood damages that may res~lt from reliance on this Chapter.

NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO , as f ollows:
Section 1.
That Chapter 22.4B of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance,
(Ordinance No. 26, Series 1963 as amended) is hereby repealed and
re-enacted to read as follows:
§22.4B-l Legislative Purpose and Intent
To promote the p~biie health, safety and welfare OF
THE PUBLIC, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood
hazards; and to promote wise use of the flood plain, this zone
district has been established to regulate the uses within the
100-year flood plain . with the £oiiowin~ p~rpo~e~ intended .
THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD ARE INDENTIFIED BY THE FEDERAL
INSURANCE ADMINISTRATION ON FLOOD HAZ ARD BOUNDARY MAPS AND
FLO OD INSURANCE RATE MAPS, WHICH MAPS ARE ON FILE IN THE
ENGLEWOOD CITY HALL IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK. BY ADOPTING
THIS ZONE DISTRICT, THE FOLLOWING PURP OSES ARE INTENDED:
(a) To reduce the hazard of floods to life and
property through:
(1) Proh ibiting certa in uses which are
•
I • •
..
•
•
• -
dangerous to life or property in time of
flood;
(2) Restricting uses which would be hazardous
to the public health in time of flood;
(3) Restricting uses which are particularly
susceptible to flood damage, so as to alleviate
hardship and reduce demands for public expenditures
for relief and protection;
(4) Requiring permitted flood plain uses, in-
cluding public facilities which serve such uses,
to be protected against floods by providing flood
proofing and general flood protection at the
time of initial construction.
(b) To protect flood plain occupants from a flood
which is or may be caused by their own, or other, land use
and which is or may be undertaken without full realization of the danger, through:
(1) Regulating the manner in which structures
designed for human occupancy may be constructed
so as to prevent danger to human life within
such structures;
(2) Regulating the method of construction of
water supply and sanitation systems so as to
prevent disease, cont amination and unsanitary
conditions;
(3) Delineating and describing areas tha~ could
be inundated by flood so as to protect individuals
from purchasing flood plain lands for purposes
which are not i n fact suitable.
(c) To protect the public from the burden of extra-
ordinary financial expenditures for flood control and relief by
regulating all uses within the flood plain areas so as to produce
a method of construct ion and a pattern of development which will
minimize the probab ility of damage to property and loss of life
or injury to the inhabitants of the flood hazard areas.
(d) To protect the natural areas required to convey
flood flows so that they develop in a manner consistent with
reasonable flood plain management .
-2-

(e) To protect and preserve the water-carrying
characteristics and capacities of all wate r courses, including
gulches, sloughs, and artificial wa ter channels used for the
conveyance of storm and flood water.

degree of flood protection intended to be provided by this
Chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and
is based on engineering and scientific methods of study.
Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may
be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams
and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter does
not imply that the areas outside of the flood plain are a
boundaries or land uses permitted within such areas will always
be totally free from flooding or flood damages. Nor shall
there be liability on the part of, or a cause of action against,
the City of Englewood or any officer or employee thereof for
any flood damages that may res~lt from reliance on this Chapter.
(g) Effect of Flood Plain Regulations. The regula-

(f) Warnin and Disclaimer of Liabilit . The
degree of flood protection inten ed to be provided by this
Chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and
is based on engineering and scientific methods of study.
Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may
be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams
and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter does
not imply that the areas outside of the flood plain area
boundaries or land uses permitted within such areas will always
be totally free from flooding or flood damages. Nor shall
there be liability on the part of, or a cause of action against,
the City of Englewood or any officer or employee thereof for

re-enacted to read as follows:
§22.4B-l Legislative Purpose and Intent
To pr o mote the ptlbi i e health, safety and welfare OF
THE PUBLIC, to min i mi ze fl ood losses in areas subject to flood
hazards; and to pro mote wi se use of the flood pla i n, this zone
d i strict has been esta bli s h e d to regulate the uses within the
100-year flood plain. with the £oiiowing ptlrpo~e~ intended.
THE AREAS OF SPEC I AL FLOO D HAZARD ARE INDENTIFIED BY THE FEDERAL
INSURANCE ADMINIS TRATION ON FLO'OD HAZARD BOUNDARY MAPS AND
FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS, WH I CH MAPS ARE ON FILE IN THE
EN GLEWOOD CITY HALL IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK. BY ADOPTING
THIS ZONE DISTRICT, THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES ARE INTENDED:
(a) To r e duc e the hazard of floods to life and
property through:
(1) Proh i b i t i ng certain u s es which are
,I
'!

•
•
•
• -
dangerous to life or property in time of flood;
(2) Restricting uses which would be hazardous
to the public health in time of flood;
(3) Restricting uses which are particularly
susceptible to flood damage, so as to alleviate
hardship and reduce demands for public expenditures
for relief and protection;
(4) Requiring permitted flood plain uses, in-
cluding public facilities which serve such uses,
to be protected against floods by providing flood
proofing and general flood protection at the
time of initial construction.
(b) To protect flood plain occupants from a flood
which is or may be caused by their own, or other, land use
and which is or may be undertaken without full realization of the danger, through:
(1) Regulating the manner in which structures
designed for human occupancy may be constructed
so as to prevent danger to human life within such structures;
(2) Regulating the method of construction of
water supply and sanitation systems so as to
prevent disease, contamination and unsanitary conditions;
(3) Delineating and describing areas that could
be inundated by flood so as to protect individuals
from purchasing flood plain lands for purposes
which are not in fact suitable.
(c) To protect the public from the burden of extra-
ordinary financial expenditures for flood control and relief by
regulating all uses within the flood plain areas so as to produce
a method of construction and a pattern of development which will
minimize the probability of damage to property and loss of life
or injury to the inhabitants of the flood hazard areas.
(d) To protect the natural areas required to convey
flood flows so that they develop in a manner consistent with
reasonable flood plain management .

viewed on a case-by-case basis by the Flood Plain Zoning Ad-
ministrator to assure:
~at(l) That the building site will be reasonably
safe from flooding. and
(2) THAT ALL NECESSARY PERMITS HAVE BEEN OB-
TAINED FROM THE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERN-
MENTAL AGENCIES FROM WHICH PRIOR APPROVAL IS
REQUIRED.
~bt(3) That where the building site is in a
location that may have a flood hazard, all new
construction and substantial repairs, improvements,
or alterations will be flood-proofed in accordance
with the minimwn flood-proofing criteria speci-
fied in S22. 4B-7 (e) (1).
(e) Interpretation. In their interpretation and
application, the provisions of this Chapter shall be held to
be minirnwn requirements and shall be liberally construed in
favor of the governing body.
(f) Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The
degree of flood protection intended to be provided by this
Chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and
is based on engineering and scientific methods of study.
Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may
be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams
and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter does
not imply that the areas outside of the flood plain area
boundaries or land uses p ermitted within such areas will always
be totally free from flood ing or flood damages. Nor shall
there be liability on the part of, or a cause of action against,
the City of Englewood or any officer or employee thereof for
any flood damages that may res~lt from reliance on this Chapter.
