Wayne Ginn L5 L� O V !� 7 Ginn, Incorporated f Attention: John Karlsruher ( 17103 Preston Road, Suite 100 MAP 1 NM LB 118 Dallas, Texas 75248 _ _ Dear Mr. Ginn: This letter is being written to you in your role as Floodplain Administrator for the City of Coppell, Texas. By Letter of Transmittal you have requested that we determine whether a Conditional Letter of Map Revision has been issued by FEMA for a portion of Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II, located west of Denton Tap Road within Cottonwood Branch floodplain. I have reviewed the correspondence attached to your Letter of Transmittal and researched our Coppell Community files. These document that: 1) No request for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision for the subject portion of the Parks of Coppell has been received by FEMA nor any Conditional Letter of Map Revision issued based upon proposed floodplain modifications of this portion of Cottonwood Branch. 2) The letter dated November 8, 1982 from Michael Baker, Jr., Inc. (FEMA contract engineering firm) submitted to the City of Coppell copies of a Pre- liminary Revised Flood Insurance Study based upon our approval of more accurate technical data obtained by Carter - Burgess, Inc., through use of 2 ft contour mapping and additional surveyed floodplain cross sections. This was for a 2.6 mile stream segment from DeForest Road to approximately 1/2 mile upstream of Denton Tap Road. The revised preliminary base flood elevations were published in the Coppell Star on May 5 and 12, 1983, and were issued in a final, revised Flood Insurance Study with Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Floodway Maps dated February 15, 1984. The subject revision was not related to any FEMA conditional approval of a pro- posed floodplain or floodway modification by Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II. FEMA is restricted by regulation to revising currently effective maps only on the basis of FEMA approved "As- Built" conditions. Should you desire further assistance in this matter, please let me know. Sincerely, cc: Shohre Danesmand aryetta Cunningham Natural Hazards Program Specialist City of Coppell GINN, INC.

UNIVEST DEVELOPMENT COMPANY March 24, 1988 Mr. Wayne Ginn Ginn, Incorporated 17103 Preston Road, Suite 100 Lock Box 118 Dallas, Texas 75248 Re: City of Coppell ( "City ") Requirements for Floodplain Reclamation - Parks of Coppell Dear Wayne: The Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II ( "PCJV "), the owner of the Parks of Coppell property, is currently negotiating a contract of sale on a portion of its land. The potential purchaser ( "Purchaser ") has requested certain assurances regarding the City's interpretation of its recently adopted Flood Plain Management Ordinance (the "Ordinance ") as it relates to the modifications of the Floodway Boundary and Floodway Map (the " Floodway Map ") which were preliminarily approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( "FENA ") by letter to the City from Michael Baker, Jr., Inc., consultant to FEMA, on November 8, 1982, together with attachments thereto, (the "Preliminary Approval Letter ") copies of which have been supplied to your office. A copy of the cover transmittal letter of the Preliminary Approval Letter is attached hereto. As we have explained to you, the Preliminary Approval Letter was issued by FEMA on the entire Parks of Coppell project, both east and west of Denton Tap Road. Based upon the Preliminary Approval Letter, the majority of the flood fringe land in the Parks of Coppell which lies east of Denton Tap has been filled and reclaimed over the last 4 1/2 years in compliance with the Preliminary Approval Letter and, on September 24, 1987, FEMA issued its Letter of Map Amendment removing the reclaimed areas from the flood plain (cover letter enclosed), thus recognizing the completion of work contemplated by the Preliminary Approval Letter. As to those parts of PCJV land which have not yet been reclaimed which lie west of Denton Tap, the floodway boundaries approved in the Preliminary Approval Letter and accompanying Floodway Map are identical to the floodway boundaries shown on the later February, 1984 FEMA map and the current September, 1987 FEMA map. 12770 COIT RD • SUITE 1215 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75251 • 214/233 -5771 Mr. Wayne Ginn March 24, 1988 Page Two Based on the preceding information and in order for PCJV and the Purchaser to be correctly informed of the City's requirements for those still unreclaimed portions of the PCJV property, we request that you, as City Engineer and as City Floodplain Administrator, confirm the following: 1. The City has and still does recognize the Preliminary Approval Letter as conditional approval from FEMA as of the date of its issuance. Based on this conditional approval from FEMA, the City has and will continue to approve reclamation work on PCJV land which is performed in material compliance with the Preliminary Approval Letter. 2. The City recognizes that the issuance of the Preliminary Approval Letter exempts the PCJV property from the provisions of the Ordinance pursuant to Section A of Article 3 of the Ordinance so long as the reclamation work is performed in compliance with the Preliminary Approval Letter. It is understood, however, that proposed work which materially deviates from the Preliminary Approval Letter is not exempted from the Ordinance. If you are in agreement with the contents of this letter, please confirm the City's agreement by executing this letter in the space provided below.
