e two-member majority of Douglas County’s elected leaders has removed the third commissioner from several boards that oversee community organizations, a move she called “personal political retribution.”

“For nearly two years now, (Abe) Laydon and (George) Teal have conspired and collaborated to silence my voice and prohibit me from executing my duciary duty to act in the interests of the residents of Douglas County, including the almost 129,000 voters who re-elected me in November 2020 by an 18-point margin,” Commissioner Lora omas wrote in a February newsletter.

Residents sue county to halt apartments near Parker Developer

proposes workforce housing

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e ongoing battle in the Denver suburbs against new apartment complexes has reached the Parker area again, but this time, residents took the ght to court.

More than 100 area residents led a lawsuit against Douglas County’s elected leaders for allowing a development to move forward that would put about 200 housing units just south of the Town of Parker near state Highway 83.

As part of the annexation into town, the council also approved zoning for the property as a Planned Development District and a development agreement, which requires the developers to provide water, infrastructure and recreation resources.

During the Feb. 21 meeting, Tara Vargish, director of development services, said this is the town’s rst large annexation in 15 years.

“We do feel overall that we’re getting a very high quality annexation,” Vargish said.

Castle Rock Town Manager David Corliss said the annexation is a chance to ensure the development o ers bene ts to the town since the

property will likely be developed regardless of being in town boundaries.

“We think it’s better to ensure its annexed and developed into town so that we set the rules for it and no one else does,” Corliss said.

While acknowledging community concerns with growth, council members agreed the annexation process allows the town to shape the development and ensure it provides public bene ts.

Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken said if the town chose not to annex the project, the town wouldn’t have input and would still see impacts to tra c and water.

Residents of e Pinery, an area that sits between Parker and Castle Rock’s northeast edge, brought the lawsuit, arguing the proposed development does not meet the county’s approval requirements and that it is “incompatible with the existing character” of the area. ey also cited concerns of increased tra c.

e Pinery, a relatively remote set of neighborhoods along a major state highway, consists of low-density, single-family homes, according to the lawsuit complaint. (“Density” is a term for how many people or housing units occupy an area.)

“Plainti s will experience actual, immediate, and irreparable harm from (the county’s) approval of the development,” the lawsuit complaint says.

Going MAD for the rainforest

Castle View students raise funds

BY DELANEY JORDAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

e rst week of February at Castle View High School is one that students anticipate as soon as the school year begins.

For over 10 years, the high school in Castle Rock has traded Make-AWish Week for Make A Di erence Week, and this event lives up to its name.

Beginning in December, students are able to submit charities close to their hearts to Castle View’s Student Government for a chance to raise thousands of dollars during what is known as “MAD Week”.

After each charity goes through a selective process, two nalists are selected by the student government. en, students vote to pick the winner. is year’s MAD Week organiza-

tion is Save the Rainforest.

According to the nonpro t’s website, Save the Rainforest was founded in 1988 by Bruce Calhoun and his biology students. Save the

Rainforest is an organization devoted to protecting the Amazon and its indigenous peoples and animals, as well as preventing the inevitable climate crisis, should these rainfor-

ests be destroyed.

How does Castle View raise this money? Student Government member Helen Nguyen said, “So many great events are in the works this year. Student Government has planned a spirit week, food nights, game nights, dodgeball tournaments, the list goes on.”

Among the food nights, Castle View High School partnered with local Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle, and Panda Express locations, among many others, to receive a percent of their pro ts.

When asked what she was most excited for, Nguyen said, “I am so excited to see how much we can give back to this year’s selected charity. I think the Castle View student body has the potential to surpass our goal, but I’m just grateful that we were given the opportunity to give back to an organization that can better the entire world.”

Nguyen’s gratitude for the annual week of fundraising is not some-

Adan Jimenez Quintero repeats as talent show champion

Castle View hosts annual event

BY DELANEY JORDAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

In early February, Castle View High School was lled with anticipation. Not only were students buzzing to see their classmates show o their skills during the annual talent show, but they were eager to support both Save the Rainforest, this year’s Make A Di erence charity, and Tri-M, Castle View’s music honor society.

With a quarter of the show’s proceeds going to Save the Rainforest and the rest going to support the music program, students, parents, and teachers ooded the auditorium to watch Castle View’s nest performers give a glimpse of their talents.

Performances of “Coconut Mall”

from Mario Kart by a saxophone quartet and a show-stopping rendi-

tion of “No One Gets Left Behind” by Rueby Wood were just a couple of the acts that graced the stage. e winner of the contest was Adan Jimenez Quintero for his dance to the song “Deja Vu” by Beyoncé.

Beginning in the seventh grade, Jimenez has been participating in his schools’ annual talent shows, stealing the spotlight from the start with his bold song choices and difcult dance moves. Taking his great passion of performing and drawing inspiration from Ru-Paul’s Drag Race, Jimenez has curated a signature style, one that has proven to be popular with his classmates.

Over the course of six years, his star status has never faltered, with many classmates looking forward to his performances, calling them the “highlight of the night.”

Senior Anna Carter is one among the many students at Castle View that have grown up with Jimenez’s performances and the privilege of getting to experience one of his performances for the last time is not

lost on her.

“He’s performed in every talent show since the seventh grade, so I’m really happy I got to see him perform one last time,.” she said. “It was a full circle moment since we’re all seniors now. It’s bittersweet,” she said.

With intense choreography, it’s not hard to tell that Jimenez gives every performance his all.

“I was exhausted, but I felt incredible since it’s my nal year,” Jimenez said, referring to his feelings after the performance. “Might as well go out with a bang.”

And go out with a bang, he did.

roughout several song switches and multiple splits, Jimenez ended his performance with his signature “death drop”, a dance move that got the crowd cheering.

Despite being a veteran to performing, Jimenez admits he still gets the pre-show jitters. “[I was] very nervous, but, you know, I just relaxed, I breathed, and I let it all go.”

Letting it go seemed to do the trick because after putting his all out on

the dance oor and counting up the votes, Jimenez was crowned the winner of the 2023 Castle View Talent Show.

“I felt so excited, it’s my nal year and the risks paid o .”

With the money going to both MAD Week and Tri-M, seniors Annabelle Rice and Gabrielle Goodwin, members of Tri-M, participated as the backstage aids and worked hard to plan this event since the beginning of December.

Tri-M, formerly known as Modern Music Masters, is “run entirely by students in the music program who excel in their musicianship,” Goodwin said.

“ ere are members from the orchestra, band, and choir. It’s really special for us to get to partner with MAD Week and we’re all really excited to see the acts each year,” Rice added.

Castle Rock to get more senior housing

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two new senior housing options are coming to Castle Rock, including a luxury home neighborhood and income-restricted apartments.

e Castle Rock Town Council approved a development plan on Feb. 21 for the Meadowmark multi-family project, which will bring 200 a ordable rental units to North Meadows Drive and Timber Mill Parkway. Additionally, the Hillside at Castle Rock neighborhood near Wolfensberger and Coachline Roads will begin construction this spring on 120 for-sale homes.

Both developments will be restricted to residents age 55 and older.

Meadowmark

e Meadowmark project, developed by Ulysses Development Company, will be a four-story, 183,000 square foot building on 5.4 acres with 200 one and two bedroom apartments near the Meadows Town Center.

e units will be income restricted for residents making up to 70% Area Median Income, which is $57,470 for a single person in Douglas County in 2022, according to the Colorado Housing and Finance Association. Rents will be set annually by the Colorado Housing Finance Authority based on income level and the size of the unit.

Amenities include two outdoor gathering spaces, a wild ower gar-

den, a tness room and a community room and craft room. e project also includes 255 parking spaces.

e project is being done in partnership with the Douglas County Housing Authority.

Castle Rock Director of Development Services Tara Vargish said the total cost of the project is expected to be around $58.4 million and will receive some funding from LowIncome Housing Tax Credits and the Colorado Division of Housing.   Developers for Meadowmark requested a $500,000 partial fee waiver of town development fees, which totaled $4.1 million. e council agreed

to grant the developers’ waiver request, bringing the total fees down to $3.6 million.

“It’s good to have seniors in our community and it’s good to incentivize our seniors,” Mayor Jason Gray said. “I appreciate what (the project) will do in our community and this is a worthwhile action we’re going to do for our town and Meadowmark.”

HILLSIDE

For Hillside at Castle Rock, developers BVLD Builders envision an active adult neighborhood of 120 attached and detached homes ranging from 1,900 square feet to 2,400

square feet with prices starting in the $600,000s.

Homes will come in multiple oor-plans, but all will include a full basement and a two-car garage. Neighborhood amenities will include pickleball courts, a covered pavilion with repit and open spaces with walking paths.

“Home buyers will appreciate this collection of stunning, low-maintenance homes that provide plenty of time for you to enjoy the charm and vibrancy of Castle Rock and the active Colorado lifestyle that active-adults seek,” Aaron Foy, owner of BLVD Builders, said in a press release.

Restoration underway for Miller’s Gulch

63 years in the making

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e development team for Miller’s Landing in Castle Rock announced that restoration work is underway to address stream degradation within Miller’s Gulch.

Miller’s Landing is working with WaterVation to attend to the damage caused by over 63 years of land use changes that have impacted the water channel of Miller’s Gulch.

“As land upstream is developed and permeable surfaces are installed, it increases the volume and velocity of water going downstream,” said Scott Springer of P3 Advisors. “By doing so, it actually increases the erosion in the stream bed and basically causes that severe degradation of those velocities and volume increases.”

e stream restoration design plan for Miller’s Gulch is based on the principles of Natural Channel Design, which mimics the natural conditions of the area.

Currently the gulch is an intermittent sand-bed stream that only ows during rainfall events or during snowmelt. In turn, the gulch has become sensitive to land use disturbances as well as extreme rainfall

events.

e design focuses on restoring the natural stream shape, which is proven to e ciently mitigate erosive storm ows.

“We are putting in drop structures,” said Springer. “Which include grouted and ungrouted boulder elds, sheet piling and we’re amoring the sides of channels with riprap and other boulder structures.”

e design plan will allow for the channel and oodplain to become hydrologically connected and enable the re-establishment of the corridor.

By working within the naturally occurring environmental amenities, it provides riparian and upland diversity within the watershed.

Riparian environments are those that include not only the stream and water channel itself, but the entire ecosystem adjacent to the stream or waterway. Springer said that in Colorado, there’s going to be natural species like willows and other water loving species.

“It’s reestablishing the method that we’re using to stabilize the stream and to re-channelize the stream based on that natural channel design,” said Springer. “Minimizing any impact of vegetation, existing vegetation and enhancing the riparian zone with semi aquatic species.”

to put their position in society into a global context…this tradition is important because it continuously teaches students the signi cance of giving back,” said Mirenda.

thing she’s alone in. “MAD Week is so important in regards to the work it does raising awareness for negative situations around the world,” Co-Class President William Mirenda says. “Living in a privileged community can often isolate you from the reality of other people’s lives that are di erent from yours.”

Make A Di erence Week teaches Castle View students to broaden their outlook on life and look at the bigger picture.

“Understanding how lucky we are to be in the position we’re in is important when shaping empathetic individuals,” Mirenda said.

Mirenda acknowledges how closed-minded students, speci cally in high school, can be and believes MAD Week is an e ective way to counter that.

“MAD Week teaches the students

Mirenda’s beliefs are not without proof. Despite the 2021-2022 school year being heavily in uenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Castle View community was still able to raise $30,000 for the Sacred Valley project, building a new school in Ollantaytambo, Peru to provide education for young indigenous girls.

“By participating in MAD Week we are able to give back to those less fortunate than ourselves and truly do good in the world. It’s a super great experience and I’m really glad we get to share this with our student body,” Mirenda said.

Castle View’s community succeeded in raising over $20,000 this year.

Reading program at elementary school to expand

Will go districtwide

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stone Mountain Elementary teacher Brooke Vincent said her third graders have become more con dent and engaged with reading and writing over the past two years as the school has piloted a new literacy curriculum.

With the program’s success, the writing program is now being implemented in elementary schools across the Douglas County School District.

Vincent’s observations are backed by recent data from her school and two others that also piloted new literacy curricula that shows more students reading at or above grade level than in previous years.

In 2022, 82% of Stone Mountain Elementary students were reading at or above grade level, which is up from 76% in 2019, before the pandemic and the implementation of the new curriculum named Wonders. Statewide, 2022 Colorado Measures of Academic Success scores show 41% of students met or exceeded grade level expectations.

“(Wonders has) taken literacy from this is reading time and this is writing time to this is literacy time,” Vincent told Colorado Community Media. “It’s been helping (students) nd their own love of reading too

because they’re engaged in the text sets that we’re reading.”

Similarly, Sage Canyon and Cherokee Trail elementaries piloted the Benchmark Workshop and Benchmark Advanced curricula, respectively, seeing improvements in students’ reading levels. In 2022, 67% of Sage Canyon students and 62% of Cherokee Trail students were reading at or above grade level, compared to 51% and 56% in 2019.

“ ey came in from kindergarten

came knowing things that we’ve never had rst graders know before and that has sent us up for real success,” Sage Canyon Elementary rst grade teacher Sara Lang told the Board of Education on Jan. 10.

With the success at the pilots schools, the district is in the process of rolling out the new curricula to all of its elementary schools this year, as well as training teachers on the science of reading.

e district is investing in the change due to a 2019 law that requires kindergarten through third grade reading curricula to be science and evidence based.

Previously, districts were able to pick any reading curriculum and they weren’t required to have one. Vincent said that resulted in teachers and schools on di ering pages, sometimes resulting in confused students and unsure teachers.

She doesn’t have that problem with Wonders.

“We know without a doubt that we’re doing what we should be doing to help our kids reach those Colorado Academic Standards,” Vincent said. “When our kids take

CMAS a lot of those questions will be seamless for them … so it’s not as nerve wracking for our kids because they’ve already been exposed to that level of instruction.”

Some of the other positive highlights of Wonders is that it o ers better alignment across grades so it’s easier for students to build on what they learned in previous years, as well as multiple options for students across reading capabilities, Vincent said.

“So you’re taking the same concepts but then adjusting them to where kids are at in terms of their reading level and that has been a really big game changer for my two opposite ends of the spectrum,” she said.

At the Jan. 10 school board meeting, member Mike Peterson got teary while praising the work of the pilot schools and talking about districtwide implementation.

“I could not be happier with the focus of the district and looking at some of those charts, where we are coming out of the learning loss we had during covid is just exemplary,” Peterson said.

REMOVED

e removals come amid what omas called “constant personal attacks and antagonism, including being investigated twice with absolutely no ndings of any wrongdoing,” she wrote in another recent newsletter. e changes in power raise issues for her ability to represent her area of Douglas County, the newsletter argued.

County commissioner District III is the only district with a lack of city- or town-level elected o cials to represent their interests, such as overseeing property development or other roles, the newsletter argued. at’s omas’ area, largely made up of Highlands Ranch.

Laydon, the commissioner for District I, or northeast Douglas County, said the concerns are “wildly inaccurate,” noting the commissioners are all elected at large.

In Douglas County, the commissioners are required to reside in different districts, but voters throughout the entire county cast ballots for each seat.

“Each of us represents the entire county, and each of us is intimately familiar through decades of living and working here with the needs of our local boards,” Laydon said. Several leadership seats change In the early February newsletter, omas pointed to “the fourth time in just a few weeks that I have been replaced on boards” on which she says she has long served.

Laydon and Teal recently voted

to remove her from leadership on entities including the following, Laydon told Colorado Community Media.

•  e Northwest Douglas County Chamber and Economic Development Corporation, a group that represents the local business community;

•  e Mile High Flood District, which oversees matters such as ood management, stream mitigation and stormwater around the Denver region;

• And the 18th Judicial District Forfeiture Board. (“Forfeiture” relates to property involved in a criminal or legal matter, according to an explainer on the U.S. Treasury Department website.)

e Douglas County commissioners collectively sit on about 40 boards, according to Laydon.

Usually in January each year, the county commissioners decide which of their colleagues to appoint to boards that oversee outside entities, Laydon said.

“I was … removed from the Northwest Douglas County EDC, which is wholly within my Commissioner District,” omas wrote in a newsletter. “Teal will also take my place on this board despite the fact that he does not live nor work in NW Douglas County.”

Teal has not responded to Colorado Community Media callss for comments asking why he vote in favor of removing omas from serving on boards.

Heart disease symptoms can be unique

Experts recommend being proactive

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When it comes to heart disease, a local cardiologist says it is never too early to check to get checked out.

According to experts, heart disease comes in many forms. as there are various types of heart disease and can present itself di erently to each

individual.

“All these cardiac risk factors put you at high risk of having heart disease, whether that’s high blood pressure, whether that’s cholesterol issues, diabetes, history of smoking,” said Dr. Je Park, a cardiologist with Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates at e Medical Center of Aurora.

“I think that all encompasses what heart disease really is.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common types of heart

disease in the U.S. In 2017, heart disease was the second leading cause of death in Colorado.

Heart arrhythmia, heart valve disease and heart failure are among the many types of heart disease.

Park said high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. .

With high blood pressure, there is more pressure on the arteries and as people age, they harden. When the arteries harden, the blood cannot move as easily.

“You take a garden hose and you turn the water on and that water’s

kind of free owing, and that’s your heart vessel when you’re young,” said Park. “And then when you start taking your hand and your thumb and put it over the end of that garden hose, the pressure in the hose starts increasing, the water starts owing a little bit faster, and a bit harder.”

Problems arise when the arteries harden too much, causing the pressure to be too high. When this happens, the heart has to work over-

ANNEXING

“I think it’s a good t and I think it could be a future problem if we say no,” Bracken said.

Representatives for Canyons Far South said they want to create a neighborhood unique to what’s currently available, so the development will be 59% open space with trails and parks. Over 200 acres will be dedicated to the town and will include a constructed public park.

e design incorporates open space bu ers between Canyons Far South and Terrain and Founders Parkway.

“We believe once (Canyons Far South) is developed it will be a tremendous asset to the town,” said Erik Clore, of Lowe Enterprises, the developers of Canyons Far South.

Clore told the council the goal is for full build out in ve years.

e homes will be some of the rst in town required to have Coloradoscape front yards to reduce water use. Clore said the neighborhood will have the most stringent water use plan in Castle Rock.

Under the development agree-

ment, the developers are required to dedicate 465 acre feet of groundwater and 153 acre feet of renewable water resources.

Another of the town’s requirements for the project is for developers to be responsible for constructing a new signal on Founders Parkway for the neighborhood entrance and building a new road connecting Founders Parkway and Castle Oaks Drive.

Future homeowners in Canyons Far South will have an additional property tax of ve mills to cover the costs to town services for the added demand.

Corliss said sta worked to ensure the development is helping mitigate growth impacts as much as possible.

“It’s sta ’s recommendation that the bene ts exceed the costs,” he said. “We believe we’re setting a new, higher standard (for annexations).”

Mayor Jason Gray said he felt the agreement is an example of responsible growth and thanked the developers for their e orts.

“It sends a message that we ask a lot and it also sends the message that people who really want to be here will do a lot,” Gray said.

The Castle Rock Town Council annexed the Canyons Far South development, highlighted in blue, into town on Feb. 21. The neighborhood will include over

e proposal highlights friction between the desires of suburban homeowners and the business community, whose need for workers can lead to support for new housing.

“Many of the major employers in Parker are struggling with personnel due to the low inventory of workforce housing options in the town,”

T.J. Sullivan, president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, wrote in a letter to county sta in support of the development.

“( ousands of) individuals commute to Parker each day from outside the town — especially from the south Aurora area where there are more options,” Sullivan wrote.

e Douglas County commissioners voted 2-1 on Jan. 10 to allow the development to move forward. e lawsuit, led in February, asked a court to reverse the county’s decision and stop the development.

‘Urban area’

Part of the county’s process for approving a development in the area south of Parker centers on e Pinery’s status as a “separated urban area,” a label that goes back decades. It relates to zoning, a local government’s rules for what can be built where.

Douglas County’s 1986 Master Plan recognized previously zoned, isolated, urban developments called separated urban areas. ose areas include Roxborough, Castle Pines Village and e Pinery.

“ ese developments … were previously zoned for urban development as early as the 1970s,” Douglas County’s newer comprehensive master plan says.

e county’s comprehensive master plan lays out a broad vision for how and where property development should occur. It’s a focal point of the lawsuit, which argues that the proposed development at e Pinery fails to provide a “compelling public bene t” as required by the plan. Before the proposal reached the county’s elected leaders in January, it rst faced votes from the county Planning Commission, a body of citizens who are appointed to provide recommendations on property development decisions.

e planning commission in March last year voted in favor of including the site of the proposed development into e Pinery Separated Urban Area’s boundaries, a move that paved the way for the proposal to move forward. ( e land was pre-

viously located in what the county considered a non‐urban area.)

e county’s comprehensive master plan states that expansion of a separated urban area — as the planning commission voted to OK — is only supported if a “compelling public bene t is provided that outweighs potential impacts,” according to a county sta report.

e lawsuit complaint argues that the comprehensive plan “de nes a ‘compelling public bene t’ as including ‘supporting the scal health of special (government) districts and lowering overall indebtedness and tax rates for residents,’ as well as ‘enhancement of communityseparation bu ers or the elimination of inappropriate zoning.’ ”

But county sta described the plan di erently.

“ ere is not a set formula or list for determining a compelling public bene t,” county sta wrote in a January 2022 sta report. “It requires (a developer) to consider what would

be a bene t in the area for the County.”

“In this case, the (developer) is offering workforce housing to provide an a ordable option for residents living and working in the area,” sta wrote.

Sta also wrote: “In sta ’s assessment, the proposal for workforce housing is supported by goals and policies of the” comprehensive plan.

After voting to include the site of the proposed development into e Pinery’s boundaries, the planning commission expressed disapproval of the housing proposal, voting against rezoning the land — another step in the development process — by an 8-0 vote on Dec. 19.

“Ulysses (the developer) purchased the property the following day for approximately $3.6 million,” the lawsuit complaint says.

Looking at character

County commissioners voted 2-1 to let the proposal move forward in January, with Commissioner Abe Laydon voting no.  County sta had noted that a “rezoning application for urban uses and density” on the land “could be supported” under the comprehensive plan’s policies.

e lawsuit complaint asked the Douglas County District Court to reverse the county commissioners’ decision that approved the rezoning. e complaint argues that the county’s zoning rules required the county commissioners to assess “whether there has been a substantial change in the character of the

neighborhood, since the land was last zoned.”

(Comprehensive plans and landuse standards can sometimes be di cult to pin down: e county comprehensive plan’s introductory section, the section on urban areas and the glossary all do not appear to include a de nition of the term “character.” e county zoning rules section that lists de nitions also does not de ne “character.”)

e lawsuit zeroed in on the type of homes in the area.

e Pinery’s “character is de ned as comprised … of low-density, single-family homes. ere is no other multi-family or high-density housing within e Pinery SUA. e Development would stand in stark contrast to the character of e Pinery SUA in violation” of county zoning rules, the lawsuit complaint says.

A letter to the county from e Pinery Homeowners’ Association says: “ e multi-family housing existing within e Pinery, consist of 88 privately owned town homes.

e remaining 3,000 plus dwelling units throughout e Pinery SUA are single family units and compatible with the character of the original Pinery.”

County sta wrote that the character of the neighborhood has changed since the property in question was last zoned in 1955.

“ e Pinery Planned Development, generally north and south of the site and directly across SH 83 to the east

… was zoned in 1972. e Pinery PD allows for commercial, o ce, residential, and open space uses,” a Dec. 29 county sta report says. “ e Stone Creek Ranch PD to the immediate south was approved by the County in 2014 for 329 single-family residential units, most of which have been constructed.”

A couple of emails to the county from nearby residents noted that no commercial areas sit in the immediate area.

‘Unquestionable impact’

ough an RTD park-and-ride bus stop sits at Highway 83 and North Pinery Parkway — about a half mile from the proposed development — adding so many housing units is sure to increase tra c to some degree in the area. e development would sit along the edge of e Pinery.

It is anticipated that the developer will be responsible for a “fair share contribution” to road improvements, county sta wrote. e development has committed to contributing to changes, including:

• A “pro-rata” share of the required tra c signal improvements to the intersection of Scott Avenue and state Highway 83, and 50% of the tra c signal cost for the intersection of Pinery Center Boulevard and Scott Avenue to be secured by the county via an improvements agreement.

• Design and construction of the full width extension of Pinery Center Boulevard to Scott Avenue.

As far as height of the apartment complex, a letter from the developer’s team to county sta says: “Because the property is located below the elevation of (state Highway 83)

and surrounding properties, multistory structures developed on the property will be no higher or more visible than surrounding single-family developments.”

e lawsuit alleges that the developer’s representatives stated the buildings would be only three stories high yet requested buildings be built 45 feet tall, which would amount to a four-story building, the lawsuit says.

“As proposed, the development has only a 1,000-foot setback from the Stone Creek Ranch neighborhood and will unquestionably impact the value of the neighborhood and the views of the residents of the neighborhood,” the lawsuit complaint says.

‘The county’s needs’

e proposal documents label the apartment complex as “workforce housing units,” a term that can vary depending on who is using it.

Given the location in Douglas County, it’s unclear whether the apartments would be considered cheap relative to the Denver metroarea market as a whole.

Units would only be available to individuals and families making no greater than 60% of the area’s median income, as that gure is calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to a Sept. 16 letter from the developer’s team to county sta .

As of April 2022, local households making no greater than 60% of the AMI, and thus eligible for a unit, typically earn between $40,000 to $80,000 per year, the letter says.

“Households with incomes in this range may include employees of

Douglas County government, Douglas County School District, local businesses, including e Shops at Castle Rock and other local retailers and restaurants, and critical services, including the Parker Adventist Hospital system and other emergency and essential service organizations,” the letter says.

e letter adds: “Understanding the county’s acute need for workforce housing, Ulysses intends to institute a marketing strategy and leasing preference plan o ering leasing priority to current employees of Douglas County government and businesses, existing County residents, and veterans, in order to directly serve the County’s needs.”

e lawsuit complaint, referring to apartments in Parker, Castle Rock and Castle Pines, claimed that “many (are available) at the same or lower rental rates as those proposed by Ulysses for the Development.”

A leader at Parker Adventist Hospital wrote in support of the proposal, noting that “housing continues to be one of the top issues for our associates.”

“ e care we provide our communities is incumbent upon our ability to attract and retain our workforce,” Michael Goebel, CEO of Parker Adventist Hospital, wrote in a letter. “ us, ensuring there are attainable housing options in the area is paramount and we feel this project will be a step in the right direction.”

e land for the proposed development sits in an unincorporated area, meaning it’s not within a city or town. Douglas County government generally oversees property development rules for unincorporated areas.

We are traumatized

On Feb. 22, as calls came into local police departments that our schools were under attack, one thing became apparent — We are very traumatized in society.

ankfully, the reports to 911 that active shooters were inside schools across Colorado were untrue and proved to be false as o cers responded. However, the trauma that goes with these calls was very apparent. For me, as a mother and journalist, I immediately stressed out. I watched other journalists on Twitter make comments putting into words just how I was feeling. Many said as soon as the calls come in, we start worrying about what could be happening in our communities.

As more than a dozen schools were impacted throughout the day, Englewood made the list, and then Littleton High School. Littleton Police headed to the school and students were locked inside, leaving parents wondering if they were indeed OK.

e thing is, while other schools were cleared and quickly, Littleton felt like it took forever. is is not judge to Littleton schools or police, it just felt like forever for me and a reporter waiting for word.

I started scanning Twitter, where the trauma we are experiencing as a society became very apparent: From students tweeting that they were still inside a classroom hunkered down without any knowledge of what is happening on the outside.

From parents saying they have elementary school children without a cell phone, and they were worried because they had no way of knowing what was happening inside.

Tweet after tweet, parents said they heard from their child but still had no clear answers of what was happening.

As the minutes continued, the Littleton Police Department would tweet that “still no injuries” had been found. While good news, it was still stressful because it wasn’t the “all clear” tweet parents and students were waiting for.

For students, this wasn’t just a drill to go through what to do if this actually happened. While found to be a hoax, for our communities, this was essentially the real thing until police ruled it wasn’t.

Earlier in the week, my own children went through a lockdown drill with their school. Afterward, my 6-year-old asked some pointed questions on why they did it. I was honest with him. In reality, we just do not live in a world right now where we can lie to our children about the evil that can be lingering outside of our schools, public arenas ands elsewhere.

A threat or call about a shooting is never discounted anymore. All calls, all threats are treated as if they are real. For those responsible, there is no excuse for the level of cruelty you imposed on teachers, students, parents, law enforcement and our communities.

While thankfully, no one was hurt, in the end, this day shows us that something has to be done to get the increasing numbers of mass shootings under control. We are past the time of bickering about which political party is right and which is wrong.

We are a traumatized society that deserves debate, compromise and true action that leads to healing and safety.

The gift of island time and mountain time

The circular bar was busy but not too busy. ere were two bartenders working the bar. Our view was of the beautiful snow-covered mountains as the restaurant was at the top of a ski resort. As the bartenders chatted us all up, we all took in the amazing view of the slopes, the mountain range backdrop and a gorgeous blue-sky day. No rush, service was casual without being too slow. As we enjoyed our break we noticed a man had walked in and stood at the bar looking for a beverage himself. His accent gave him away as being from New York and his body language betrayed his not so good mood. As the bartender approached the man and asked what he would like to drink, the man blurted out, “Two bloody Marys.”

As the bartender started making the drinks, the man started assertively tapping his credit card on the counter, shaking his head and clearly losing his patience as the bartender worked on his drinks. I would have to say, the bartender makes an awesome bloody Mary, and he takes the time to make sure it’s perfect. As the man’s impatience grew, the bartender picked up on the vibe, and without speeding up, he quickly and brilliantly defused the situation, asking the man one question, “I’ll bet it’s nice for you to be on vacation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and to be up here taking in the snow, the sun and this incredible view.”

e man’s demeanor immediately changed. He knew what the bartender had just done, and smiling he said, “ ank you

for that, and it’s wonderful to be up here and on mountain time.” I watched as the man took the two drinks back to his table and wife, and as he sat down, taking in a deep breath and gazing out at the magni cence and majesty of his surroundings.

If you have ever spent any time in the islands or in the mountains, you can immediately connect with the headline and message of this column. When we can spend time on a beautiful tropical island or in the majesty of the mountains, sometimes things just move a little slower. And that’s a good thing.

It amazes me that some people miss the opportunity to slow down, to ease the pace of the race when they are on vacation. We work so hard to save our money so that we can take a break, get away from the rush and crush of life, and bring ourselves and our family to a tropical paradise or winter wonderland, only to lose our patience, getting upset because the shuttle was ve minutes behind, or the line at the coffee shop wasn’t moving as quickly as we would like. And instead of letting go of the stress we left behind, we bring it with us and get worked up over the silliest and slightest delays.

Sammy Project encourages mental health discussion

Art show at local libraries

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the aftermath of her son’s death, Whitney Yeager went back to her roots as a professional photographer to create an exhibit to honor her son and destigmatize mental health.

Society often sees mental illness as something that needs to be hidden. People might think it’s a weakness or feel ashamed of it.

Yeager aims to challenge the stigma around mental illness with her traveling exhibition, e Sammy Project.

On April 3, 2021, Whitney’s son, Samuel - who Whitney calls Sammywas shot and killed by Douglas County Police during a psychotic episode triggered by THC.

“Losing my rstborn child, and only son, has been the greatest heartbreak of my life,” said Yeager. “ ere will never be a deeper pain to compare it to. At the same time, it has been the most transformative experience I’ve ever had.”

To honor her son, Yeager began to destigmatize mental illness through personal portraits and stories.

“People should feel comfortable being vulnerable,” said Yeager. “People should feel comfortable talking about depression or any kind of mental health struggle the same way that we talked about diabetes and high blood pressure or any other physical ailment.”

Sponsored by the mental health nonpro t, NAMI Colorado Springs, Yeager revealed her portrait series at the Katy Tartako photography gallery in downtown Denver on the one year anniversary of her son’s death.

NAMI, e National Alliance on Mental Illness, o ers free resources, weekly meetings for family members who are struggling with loved ones who have mental illness, along with parent support groups and group therapy.

NAMI is also the sponsor of the exhibit’s current run in Douglas County Libraries.

e exhibit begins with Sammy’s story.

poor or extremely slow service, as that is never acceptable. is is just a gentle nudge and reminder to stop and see the mountains or the vastness of a blue ocean. Not just look at them, but really see them. And maybe as we stop long enough we might just realize that we are actually seeing them for the very rst time.

Getting on island time or mountain time, or wherever else we go to relax and take a break, helps us to unwind and let the stressors of life go. If we are lucky enough to live in such an area full time, we under-

Most of the people who are in the portraits knew Sam, were friends with the family or were people within the community.

Accompanying each image is a short biography written by the participant. ey talk about their interests and occupations, but also about their struggles with mental health.

“I think people were motivated to participate in the project because it helps them take agency over their struggles,” said Yeager. “And that was de nitely a motivating factor for everyone, regardless of whether or not they knew Sammy.”

Completing its time at the Castle Rock Library, e Sammy Project will move to the Highlands Ranch Library in March, the Parker Library in April and the Lone Tree Library in May, according to Douglas County Libraries.

“I’ll never stop missing him or “get over” him, but it has taught me to appreciate every conversation, every interaction with other people, especially my two daughters,” said Yeager.

e mission of the project is to help people feel more comfortable talking about their problems and asking for help. Yeager says that she believes her son would be alive if he felt comfortable asking for help.

“ e Sammy Project has helped heal my heart and it has helped many people around the country and even as far as Sweden,” said Yeager. “I want Sam’s death to make a positive di erence in the lives of people who struggle with mental health.”

stand what island time and mountain time means, and recognize it’s one of the reasons we chose to live there.

Is it time to leave the anxiety, stress, and impatience behind?

Can we get ourselves comfortable with a slightly slower pace? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can embrace island time and mountain time for the gift that they truly are, it really will be a better than good life.

Scientists are studying the health of the South Platte’s aquatic life

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There might be plenty of sh in the sea, but in the section of the South Platte River from the Denver Metro Water facility down to Fort Lupton, they’ve all but disappeared.

rough testing, Metro Water Recovery scientists discovered that aquatic life was not present in this part of the South Platte River due to low dissolved oxygen levels.

Metro Water Recovery, in an agreement with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Colorado Health Department will address the issue.

Dissolved oxygen levels mean the river is too low for aquatic life. When they did the study, the scientists found that the South Platte River from the Denver Metro Water facility down to Fort Lupton had no sh habitat.

ey started a six-phase project on the South Platte River from 88th & Colorado Boulevard to Fort Lupton in 2018 to improve aquatic life that was disappearing from low dissolved oxygen.

“Many factors cause dissolved oxygen in a river, such as runo , nutrients and how highly managed the river is and owing slowly in some locations. In addition, algae grow when the river slows down and eats up oxygen at night,” said Senior Quality Manager for Metro Water Jim Dorsch.

“A number of factors were involved and since Metro Water created the river, it made sense for us to take the lead on trying to correct it,” Dorsch said.

Scientists are working daily on the South

Platte River collecting aquatic macroinvertebrates, which are bugs. Many of these types of organisms and microhabitats live in the river, under rocks or in woody debris in the river, Dorsch said, adding that they can also live inside rocks or live in boulders.

“ e objective is to sample the macroinvertebrate that lives at the bottom of the river to assess the invertebrate which is species without a backbone to test their diversity and abundance within the river channel and determine overall aquatic life health,” said Jordan Harman, a senior water quality scientist with Metro Water.

Harman said the macroinvertebrate data is used in Colorado as the primary indicator of aquatic life health in streams and rivers. ey collect samples in the fall, and the macroinvertebrates are picked out with tweezers and placed into collection jars lled with isopro-

pyl alcohol for preservation.

“We then send these preserved specimen samples to a taxonomic expert and they identify and count the macroinvertebrates and send the identi cation enumeration data back to us. is is simply identi cation of preserved specimens, they are not looking at live specimens,” Harman said.

e scientists could get a general sense of overall water quality based on the type of invertebrates. Certain macroinvertebrates are sensitive to pollution, such as may ies, caddis ies and more. Bugs that are relatively tolerant of pollution include aquatic worms, midge larvae and more, according to Harman and Dorsch.

“When we observe a diverse group of macroinvertebrates, including sensitive species,

Colorado Dragon Boat Film Festival celebrates AAPI stories

Proving the power of storytelling has been part of the Colorado Dragon Boat Film Festival since its inception and this year it is taking the time to celebrate all the voices that share their stories.

“Our theme this year is ‘Celebrating Our Stories,’ which follows last year’s theme of `Celebrating Resilience,’” explained Sara Moore, Colorado Dragon Boat executive director. “ e stories we’re sharing may not usually be heard or seen, which means projecting them on the big screen provides awesome potential for connection.”

e 8th annual Colorado Dragon Boat Film Festival, hosted by Colorado Dragon Boat and Denver Film, opens ursday, March 9 and runs through Sunday, the 12th at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave., and the Freyer - Newman Center at Denver Botanic Gardens, 1085 York St. in Denver.

e festival includes 11 lms, all of which honor the experiences of Asian Americans and Paci c Islanders (AAPI) communities. Highlights include the opening night lm, “Arnold is a Model Student,” which is described in provided information as “a satirical coming-of-age story examining contemporary ai culture through the lens of the country’s youth.”

Another important lm screening is “Reclaiming Denver’s Chinatown,” a documentary about the racism Chinese residents faced in the Mile High City. And, for the rst time, the festival will wrap up at the Denver

this indicates good water quality. Dissolved oxygen is just one important aspect of overall water quality,” Harman said.

Harman said these macroinvertebrates tell them what they do and a lot about water quality. If certain kinds of bugs are present, the water quality can sustain these macroinvertebrates, and they’re also an essential part of the food chain for the sh that consume these bugs.

“We amended that agreement and since then we built four di erent drop structure locations along the river to improve habitat and will select a fth spot to construct by fall. en when complete, we will go into phase six and continue ongoing monitoring of aquatic life forever at all these locations,” Dorsch said.

Dorsch said to improve the water quality, stirring it and building miniature waterfalls to put the oxygen back in the river over time, so it starts to get better. In addition, they will place large rocks that will provide protective cover for sh, create pools close to the bank of the fast-moving water—trees will be plants and shrubs for aquatic shade and creates a riparian zone, which is a vegetation area between land and river.

e Metro Water Recovery scientists will stock the river with Colorado native species, primarily minnows, they said.

As is so often the case with lm festivals, some of the most exciting events are the extracurricular activities that enhance the movies. Of note are two community conversations the festival is hosting: at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 11, “Celebrating the Stories of Our LGBTQ+ Asian American Paci c Islander Community,” will be held and at 11 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, audiences can participate in “Celebrating the Stories of our Multiracial AAPI Community.”

“ ese topics come from listening to the community, which provides us with so many options,” Moore said. “Over the last three years we’ve seen huge increases in hate, racism and intolerance and we’re trying to ght this in many ways. Community conversations are great ways to help, because they give people the opportunity to hear stories and make these issues less unknown.”

In addition to live Q&As with lmmakers following some screenings, there will also be an Asian marketplace and culinary experience available to those who attend with an appetite. No matter how audiences want to engage with the

festival, Moore hopes they’ll come with questions and a willingness to learn.

“ e beauty of the event is bringing people together every year to show that the stories we all share have so many similarities,” she said. “People can come together and feel a real sense of warmth and acceptance, and that’s really my goal for the festival.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Nathaniel Rateli plays Nilsson with the Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Concert Hall

Singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson is one of those musicians who doesn’t receive the recognition they so rightly deserve. His music has been the inspiration for so many legendary artists, including Denver’s Nathaniel Rateli . To mark the 50th anniversary of “A Little Touch of Schmilsson,” Nilsson’s tribute to the Great American Songbook, Rateli is teaming up with the Colorado Symphony to tackle the seminal album.

Nathaniel Rateli plays Nilsson with the Colorado Symphony will be held at the Boettcher Concert Hall, 1000 14th St., No. 15, in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 3 and Saturday, March 4. Visit https:// coloradosymphony.org/ for tickets and information.

e Metro Water Recovery scientists’ work didn’t go unnoticed in saving the aquatic life on the river — they received the National Environmental Achievement Award from the National Associations of

Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for Habitat Improvements Projects, ac-

conference in Sonoma, CA.

“We love getting awards, (but) like most biologists — we come in do our job,” Dorsch said.

“It’s nice to get the award,” Harman added. “People aren’t aware of the work we do, so it’s kind of nice to get some recognition and people realize we’re out here in the river.”

Curtis takes part in Month of Photography

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Several years ago, someone decided a Month of Photography — all at once — would be a healthy idea for Denver area galleries to pursue, instead of sporadic camera-related events hither and yon though the year — and it took hold and has grown!

Look it up online before sallying forth in search of ne camera work — you may want to ne-tune your search a bit. ere are numerous options.

Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, will host the exhibit that includes Ron Cooper’s “Varanasi” image showing a joyous character that one might want to meet for a co ee or a beer.

e exhibit is called “Inside and Out” and will run April 8 to May 6 at Curtis.

e exhibit also includes works by Dr. Jaime Belkind-Gerson and the artists will speak at Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly St., on March 30, from 6-8 p.m. e doctor creates his work with objects that surround him daily: X-rays, CT scans, MRIs ... Look at Month of Photography listings online at denvermop.org before you head out — the selection is dazzling and could ll up several weekends or more.

e Colorado Photographic Arts Center at 1070 N. Bannock St. in Denver (where this all began some years ago) hosts “World of Inkjet Printing,” while the nearby Denver Art Museum o ers “a special MOP lecture” at 6-7 p.m. on March 21 by Renluka Maharaj.

EDGE Gallery, 6501 E. Colfax, will o er Peer Critiques from 7-9 p.m. on March 16. History Colorado Center, 1200 N. Broadway, Denver, o ers an artist’s talk by Todd Pierson: “Return of the Corn Mothers,” from 11 a.m. to noon on March 18.

e Curtis Hotel, 1405 Curtis St., will o er a full day of reviewing photo-

graphic portfolios on March 17 and to the south, Parker’s PACE Center will o er “Photography by Alternate Means” on March 24.

Michael Warren Contemporary Gallery, 760 N. Santa Fe Drive, Denver, will host “Sun to Earth,” with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. March 16, with works by Brenda Biondo and Angela Faris Belt. Belt was with Arapahoe Community College’s art department in the past and now teaches at Art Institute of Colorado.

Lone Tree Arts Center hosts a Commissioners’ Choice Photography Show.

Look at the Month of Photography website and make a few selections that interest you, paying close attention to what’s where ... when!

It can be a stimulating month ahead.

And, discovering new galleries will give a reader additional options during the year ahead, as each o ers other new and di erent artwork.

Here’s hoping the weather will cooperate so readers can visit galleries across the metro area ...

It will be the second game this season for the teams. Vista beat Valor Christian 75-66 on Jan. 1, while Rock Canyon edged Regis 59-57 on Jan. 20.

First round games were played Feb. 22 and Stevens scored 17 points as Vista defeated Bear Creek 59-49.

Senior Jeremy Jacob had 27 points to lead Highlands Ranch to a 75-68 victory over Broomeld. Red-hot Rock Canyon shot 60% from the eld and routed Rangeview 61-27 as Hershberger scored 19 points and Aidan Peck 18. Sophomore Cole Scherer scored 24 points and Valor Christian had four players nish in double gures as the Eagles whipped Monarch, 102-53.

Ralston Valley eliminated Cherry Creek 55-52 and Denver East got past Arapahoe 72-47. Andrew Crawford had 18 points and Charlie Spann 17 but two-time defending state champions underRidge dropped a 75-56 contest to Eaglecrest as the Grizzlies’ 10-game postseason win streak was snapped.

Arapahoe girls outlast ThunderRidge

38-29 win relied on Warriors’ defense

BY JIM BENTON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It was a game of scoring droughts but underRidge’s was really costly.

e Arapahoe girls notched a 38-29 victory over the Grizzlies in a Sweet 16 playo game on Feb. 24. underRidge went close to 10 minutes without scoring, which proved to be devastating for the Grizzlies in the quarter nal contest.

Arapahoe coach Jerry Knafelc credited his team’s good defense for the decisive turn in the game.

“Our kids played really good defense,” said Knafelc. “Our kids can really defend.”

Arapahoe actually trailed 9-4 with 3:30 left in the rst period when the Grizzlies started shooting blanks. underRidge went 9:55 without a point until Kyrah Daniels hit a free throw with 2:35 left in the second period.

e Warriors ended the rst half with a 21-1 run, which gave Arapahoe a 25-10 lead at halftime.

Valor drew a first round bye. Cherry Creek nipped Resurrection Christian 6-5 and Chaparral shut out Fort Collins 4-0. In the quarter nals, Valor (17-1) faced Standley Lake (13-5-2) on Feb. 28 while Ralston Valley (13-4-2) and Cherry Creek (12-7-1) played on

However, in the second half, it was Arapahoe that didn’t shoot well as underRidge stormed back to make it a close nish.

“We didn’t do enough to separate ourselves and they did enough to keep it close,” pointed out Knafelc.

“It was really on us for missing shots in the third quarter. We were playing good enough defense but we missed some shots.”

underRidge pulled to within 29-23 with 7:05 left in the game when Gianna Smith scored four straight points for Arapahoe to swell its lead to 10 points.

“She’s a tough player,” said Knafelc. “She is a great sophomore. She’s going to be unbelievable. She’s pretty unbelievable already.”

e closest underRidge (17-8) could get the rest of the game was within ve points with 1:29 to play.

“We just played good defense,” emphasized Knafelc. “White was just outstanding at the line and Emily omas did a great job on handling the pressure.”

Smith nished with 12 points including two 3-point baskets in the rst half. Senior Sydney White had 10 points and made four free throws in the nal 1:13 of the game.

Besides eighth-seeded Arapahoe, other south metro teams to advance to the Elite Eight were top-seeded Valor Christian, No. 2 Cherry Creek and No. 3 Highlands Ranch.

“We’ve got to get ready for Valor,” said Knafelc. “We played them early in the season. It was a big game and they won (57-44). ey are a really good team.”

In rst round 6A games played Feb. 21, Valor used 19 points from Vansickle and a double double from Huard of 17 points and 11 rebounds to eliminate Mountain

time. Park says it is the long standing e ects of high blood pressure that concerns cardiologists.

e heart having to work overtime can often cause what is called, demand ischemia. According to Park, this is when the heart and the demand and the supply of the heart are mismatched and the heart has to work overtime in order to overcome those high blood pressures.

Symptoms of heart disease can be di erent for everyone..

“I see a lot of patients who just have very vague symptoms,” said Park. “ ey’re like, ‘I just couldn’t

sleep well. I just kind of felt there’s a weird kind of sensation in my chest and you know, it wasn’t anything severe and it kind of moved up my neck’.”

According to Park, one can never be too sure about the heart, therefore, it is worth going to get a check up and a test.  ose experiencing chest pain and seeking medical attention will typically have an EKG done to monitor the heart rhythm. Special marker’s of a heart attack will show up in blood work said Park.

“If you notice something’s changed, I think that’s the time where you really reevaluate that decision and say, ‘maybe it’s not the worst thing just to kind of reassure myself’,” said Park.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community.

These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp, or call the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
