Keith,
As follow up to our discussion this morning, I’d like to schedule a time to meet in order
to discuss our response to the review comments from Brad P.
We probably need a few more days to assemble some details but should be ready to
meet as soon as Monday unless you’d like to touch base earlier.
How about early afternoon on Monday?
Chris

Ken and Mike – Please see the attached second review for the Sandy Lake Road /
Freeport Parkway CLOMR. I drafted comments assuming the CLOMR will not be
submitted to FEMA and that you do not wish to waive the requirement to show
compliance with the ESA. If those assumptions are incorrect, I will revise the comment
letter and send it to TNP. If you’re OK with the comments as written, I will send the
attached to TNP. Just let me know.
I’d like to draw your attention to three main issues with the study:
The proposed improvements result in increases in floodplain elevation in
existing and ultimate conditions, and fairly significant increases in erosive
velocity. This will require a redesign to address.
The Freeport Parkway bridge provides less than 1’ of freeboard in ultimate
conditions. This will also require a redesign.
There is an existing residence downstream of the Sandy Lake Road bridge that
this study places in the floodplain. I believe the address is 102 Winding Hollow
Lane. It does not appear the effective FIRM panel shows the residence is
located within the floodplain, so a LOMR based on this study may impose a
mandatory flood insurance requirement for the homeowner. I recommend TNP
3
verify survey information for this area to determine if the residence is actually in
the floodplain, and revise the mapping if necessary. It probably wouldn’t hurt
to start this discussion with the homeowner, if you haven’t already. Depending
on TNPs findings, there may be a need for a LOMR-F following this projects
LOMR.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and if you’d like me to make any revisions
to this letter before sending on to TNP.
Thanks,

Subject: Sandy Lake Road / Freeport Parkway CLOMR
Ken – Going through the TNP response to my comments on the Sandy Lake Road /
Freeport Parkway CLOMR, I have a few questions.
The response indicates the CLOMR will not be forwarded to FEMA for review. Is
that correct?
When do you anticipate a LOMR will be prepared?
TNP states the proposed project is anticipated to be compliant with the
Endangered Species Act and asks that the requirement to obtain USFWS
concurrence be waived. However, TNP provides no evidence to support their
statement. Even if the project is not submitted as a CLOMR compliance needs
to be demonstrated. The City, when signing a LOMR, acknowledges that
compliance with the ESA has been achieved independently from FEMA’s
process. I recommend the City require TNP obtain USFWS concurrence and the
requirement not be waived. Do you agree?
Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
