Box 478 Counties, Texas Coppell, Texas 75019 -Community No.: 480170 Dear Mayor Duggan: This is in response to a June 12, 1989 letter from Mr. Russell R. Doyle, P.E., City Engineer and Floodplain Administrator for the City of Coppell. In his letter, Mr. Doyle requested an update on the status of a January 12, 1989 letter in which he requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the September 22, 1988 preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Coppell to include updated corporate limits information and the results of an untitled technical report prepared by Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., consulting engineers for the City of Coppell. In addition, Mr. Doyle inquired about the status of the 90- day period provided for appeals and comments on the preliminary FIS and FIRM. We have completed our review of the submitted technical report. In a July 3, 1989 .letter to you, we identified a number of concerns that must be resolved before FEMA will revise the preliminary FIS and FIRM for the City of Coppell to include the information in this technical report. Please note these concerns must be addressed within 30 days of the date of this letter. In addition, as indicated in Mr. Doyle's letter, the notice of proposed modified Base (100 -year) Flood Elevation (BFE) determinations failed to run on March 15, 1989, as we had requested. Therefore, it was necessary to schedule two new dates of publication in the Coppell Gazette as required by Section 67.4 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations. This section requires that the proposed BFEs be published twice during the ten -day period immediately following the notification of the community's Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, on March 29, 1Q89, zant a letter informing you of yet another set of publication dates on which we requested the Coppell Gazette publish. That notice of proposed modified BFEs was at last published on April 5, 1989, and April 12, 1989. Therefore, the period for comments or appeals began on April 12, 1989, and ended on July 11, 1989. However, we will delay the finalization of the preliminary FIS and FIRM and the establishment \of an effective date, until we have evaluated any data received within the next 30 days. If we have received no data by the end of this 30 -day period, the preliminary FIS and FIRM will be finalized and the effective date will be established at that time. 4 Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the Chief, Natural and Technological Hazards Division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Denton, Texas,. at (817) 898 -9127 or Matthew B. Miller of our Headquarters staff in Washington, D.C., at (202) 646 -3461. Sincerely, t . Matticks Risk Studies Division Federal Insurance Administration cc: /Mr. Russell R. Doyle, P.E.
