Dear Ms. Anderson:
This is in response to your facsimile dated September 28, 1993, requesting that
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determine whether the following
property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) , an area that would be
inundated by the 100 -year (1- percent annual chance) flood.
Property Description:
Street Address:
Community:
State:
Community Number:
Flooding Source:
Lot 4, Block C, Lake Park Addition,
the Plat recorded in Volume 91170,
Plat Records, Dallas County, TX
657 DeForest
Coppell
Texas
480170
Denton Creek
according to
Page 2650,
On October 4, 1993, we received all information necessary to process your
request. After comparing this information with the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) map for the community referenced above, we determined that the
property would not be inundated by a 100 -year flood. Therefore, this letter
amends the map for Coppel:L, Texas (NFIP Map Number 480170, Panel 0010D, dated
October 16, 1991) to remove this property from the SFHA.
Please note that this property could be inundated by a flood greater than a 100 -
year flood or by local flooding conditions not shown on the NFIP map. Flood
insurance (such as the Preferred Risk Policy) is obtainable, at reduced cost, for
properties located outside the 5"r HA. Also, although we have based our
determination on the flood information presently available, flood conditions may
change or new information may be generated that could supersede this
determination.
A copy of this Letter of Map Amendment is being sent to your community's official
NFIP map repository where, in accordance with regulations adopted by the
community when it made application to join the NFIP, it will be attached to the
community's official record copy of the NFIP map which is available for public
inspection.
Ms. Anderson Page 2
If any structure on this property is covered by a flood insurance policy, and if
the mortgage company or lending institution agrees to waive the flood insurance
requirement, the NFIP will refund the premium paid for the current policy year,
providing that no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy during the
current policy year. To receive the refund, a written waiver or certificate must
be obtained from the mortgage company or lending institution and presented to
your insurance agent, who will process the premium refund.
This response to your request is based on minimum criteria established by the
NFIP. State and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and
in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the
floodplain. If the State of Texas or the City of Coppell have adopted more
restrictive and comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take
precedence over the minimum Federal criteria.
If you have any -questions or ;f we can b of further assistance, please call
Vicky Clater at (817) 898 -5333.
