Thanks. This helps clarify the steps to resolution. To be sure, we are only requesting this study for the
purposes of extending the fence 50 feet or so into the floodplain, but an area that drops off only 1.5 feet or so in
elevation.
I expect the study will take a few more weeks to do, so Homeyer or I will be in touch in late July once they have
the study ready to discuss with you.

Mr. Bernstein
The scope matches what we discussed. The only thing that could be a problem is that it may take more
than one meeting with the city to get everything resolved. Typically, the studies go back and forth
several times before all issues are addressed.
The "next steps' after the study is accepted by the city will be the issuance of a Floodplain
Development Permit by the Engineering Department. That permit is then taken to Building Inspections
so a fence permit can be issued.
So there is no misunderstanding, this process, if approved, will only allow the construction of a fence
in the floodplain. If other improvements are desired, such as pools, out buildings, home additions that
would encroach into the floodplain, etc., then the process will be different. To do anything other than a
fence will require the same type of information but it will be forwarded to our consultant for review.
There is a fee for the review. Once our consultant approves the study, it is submitted to FEMA and
another fee is paid to FEMA. If FEMA accepts the study, then they will issue a Letter of Map
Revision which officially changes the floodplain. Once you have that approval from FEMA, you
would then need to replat your property to revise the existing floodplain easement on your lot.
If you have any additional questions please contact me at your convenience.

Mr. Griffin:
Have you had a chance to review the attached scope and "next steps" after the study is completed? Luigi and I
are anxious to get this going, but want to be sure we understand next steps once you get the study. Can you
please confirm if we correctly understand what you said in our last meeting?
Many thanks.

Mr. Griffin-
It has taken a little bit longer than expected, but Luigi and I are retaining Homeyer Engineering to do
the study that we discussed a few weeks ago to allow us to move our fences out approximately 50
feet from their original location. I wanted to double check the scope of work with you to ensure this is
what you expect to see and how we finalize the status of the fence location.
Can you please confirm the report as described in the attached scope of work is what you want to
see? I also am not quite clear what the final approval is from your office. Would you give us a letter
that confirms receipt of the study and confirms we can install a fence inside the floodplain, subject to
homeowner association approval and obtaining a fence permit?
Also, I wanted to confirm that there aren't city fees we need to pay to submit the report to your office.
You did mention when we met that we would have the typical fence permits, so we both are expecting
those costs.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
