CommunitY Kittitas CountY State WA ctD 530095 <br />(6digit NFIP Community ldentification Number) <br />lnstructions <br />At the first verification visit after the effective date of the 201 3 CRS Coordinator's Manual, ONLY LINES 6 AND 13 NEED TO BE <br />coMPLETED. These lines form the baseline data about the number of buildings and area of the SFHA for when the table is completed as <br />part of the next annual recertification. The "period covered" entered in line 16 is the date that lines 6 and 13 are first completed. <br />At all subsequent annual recertifications and cycle verification visits, the entire table is completed. The information in lines 6 and 13 from the <br />last report is transferred to lines 1 and 10 in the next report. <br />lnstructions for the Columns <br />Column A numbers are for the SFHA (the A and V Zones shown on the Flood lnsurance Rate Map) (FIRM)). Use the FIRM currenfly in effect, <br />not a draft or pending revision. <br />Column B is completed only if the community receives CRS credit for regulating floodplain development outside the SFHA underActivity 410 <br />(Floodplain Mapping) or Activity 430 (Higher Regulatory Standards). <br />Column C numbers help relate what happens in the floodplain to what is happening in the rest of the community. <br />Enter"0" if there are no numbers to reportforthis period. Do not leave a cell blank. Do notfill in the shaded boxes. <br />lnstructions for the Lines <br />Lines 1-7 deal with buildings. <br />o Section 301.a of the CRS Coordinatols Manual defines what constitutes a "building" and lists examples of structures that are not <br />counted as "buildings" by the CRS.o Section 302.a of the CRS Coordinator's Manualdescribes how the CRS counts buildings. For example, accessory structures are not <br />counted. <br />o As noted in Section 302.a, to determine building counts, communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates of <br />the number of buildings. Examples of acceptable methods are listed in Section 302.a. Precision is less important for large numbers. For <br />example, the impact of the numbers will not change much if there are 10,000 buildings or 10,100 buildings.o lf a building is out of the SFHA, but in a parcel thal is partly in the SFHA, it is not counted in column A -ln the SFHA.o ln line 14, note how the building counts were obtained or estimated. Use lhe comments area, if needed. <br />Line 4 refers to map revisions. These include physical map revisions, Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letters of Map Amendment <br />(LOMA). lf a building is removed from the SFHA by FEMA through a LOMA, but the community still administers its floodplain management <br />regulations on the property, the building should not be included in the line 4 count in column A -ln the SFHA. However, communities that still <br />regulate areas removed by LOMAs can receive credit underActivities 410 or 430. lf the community is receiving such credit, the building <br />should be counted under column B -ln a regulated floodplain outside the SFHA. <br />Line 7 is for the total number of buildings that were substantially improved plus the number of buildings that were substantially damaged <br />during the period covered. <br />Lines 10 -13 deal with areas.o These areas are based on the areas shown on the community's FIRM including LOMRs or LOMAs. Section 403.b discusses those <br />portions of the SFHA that are subtracted from the area of the SFHA to calculate the community's aSFHA used in credit calculations.o Section 403.e of the CRS Coordinator's Manualdiscusses calculating areas for CRS purposes.o Section 403.e notes that communities 'should not spend an inordinate amount of time measuring areas." As with buildings, <br />communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates. Examples of acceptable approaches are listed in Section 403.e.o Line 13 asks for the current acreage of the SFHA. The best source for this number is a GIS layer that shows the SFHA. lf the <br />community does not have GlS, the county, regional agency, or state NFIP mapping office may have SFHA layers and may be able to <br />provide the data. lf the community has a relatively recent FIRM, the study contractor or consulting engineer may have the data.o ln line 15, note how the area calculations were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. <br />Lines 17 -'t 9 are voluntary, if the numbers are readily available.o Line 17 includes replacing an existing manufactured home with a new one. The newly placed manufactured home is counted as a new, <br />post-FlRM, building.o The total of lines 17 -19 should equal the value entered in line 2. <br />cc-213-3 <br />FEMA FORM 086-0-35A (10t23)Page4of11
