Staff issued 52 roofing and siding permits during the first twobusiness days of October. Based on our experience from the 2009 hail event, we expect the highnumber of storm related projects to continue for 18 to 24 months. The property damage and insuranceclaims resulting from a storm like we have had a tremendous impact on the community. A secondary,less recognized result of the storm is the impact it has on City operations such as building inspections.The event will substantially influence work activities over the next two years.The City has been notified by a property owner that the flood plain boundaries located on the Fox RunGolf Course may be changed as a result of a flood plain study conducted as part of a Letter of MapAmendment (LOMA). Individual property owners typically request a LOMA when they have propertyincluded in the 100 year flood plain but the elevation of their structure on the property is above the floodplain. A successful LOMA request removes the structure from the 100 year flood plain therebyreducing insurance costs. FEMA requires LOMA applicants to notify property owners that are in orpartially in the flood plain when their LOMA study shows changes to the existing flood plainboundaries. If these changes are accepted by FEMA, the City will be notified that the boundaries mayneed to be incorporated into the existing Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The change identified in the newanalysis does not impact any structures on the golf course.2
