Many rumors and thoughts have circulated throughout the city concerning this issue. We would like to set the record straight with several facts which we feel help bring understanding to this vital issue. 1. At midnight' Friday no lending agency connected with the federal government will be allowed to offer loans for new construction or purchase of existing real property in Springville City flood plain unless covered by flood insurance. in-surance. The only place to buy flood insurance is from the federal government flood insurance in-surance agency. This agency will not sell flood insurance to anyone in the city until the flood plain ordinance is passed. Therefore no loans connected with FHA, VA, FDIC or FSLIC can be made to those interested in purchasing real property in the city until the flood plain insurance ordinance is passed. 2. As soon as the flood plain ordinance is passed this restriction will be lifted because it will be possible to purchase flood insurance. This assurance was given by Mr. Gore, a Federal flood insurance representative, at city council meeting one week ago. 3. The flood plain map can be challenged either by the city or private individuals after the flood plain ordinance is passed. Also as improvements in the channel of Hobble Creek are made, such as replacing the three pipe bridge near the Kolob Stake House, are accompllished re-evaluations re-evaluations of the flood plain map can be made. 4. Mr. Gore stated that the quick runoff run-off situation of this city, should a flood occur, as compared with floods in the midwest mid-west where water ponds for long periods of time.has been considered and affects the regulations concerning what can be built in our flood plain. 5. Each citizen of the community should become familiar with the flood plain map and how it affects his property. It is thought in many instances that because of back-filling or existing back fill already on the property that existing buildings may be exempt from the flood plain ordinance restrictions and all that would be required is filing the necessary papers to gain official recognition of that situation. Assurance was given the city council that this can be accomplished after the passage of the flood plain ordinance. 6. a public hearing has been set October Oc-tober 17 for public discussion of the above issues. We strongly urge all citizens to attend this hearing and become familiar with the options of this ordinance. It certainly affects all property owners and potential property owner in the city. Time for the hearing has been set at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
