RE Coppell -FEMA ProtestThis is interesting.
I'm very concerned that the City requested FEMA Change/delete areas on their Map before "improvements" had been made and known would work .
When is the City going to complete the Coppell Road Construction ?
Guessing this includes the completion of the Channel (widening of Cottonwood Creek) ?
It is obvious that widening the creek so far has not helped at all.
Water still rises as it always has . Actually MORE so with less rain than ever before. I know for a fact. I have lived on that street for 40 years.
My dad bought on Loch Lane in 1962.
Of course - a 50ft wide channel now feeds into the initial 3ft creek. This may be part of that problem.
You guys really haven't helped me much. Not to mention the Ugly sight of it.
The Rock is Ugly to look at and also Hinders me (the citizen/homeowner) to be able to help you (the city) in maintenance of it.
Before I was able to use a Mower . I could trim trees and clean trash from it. Now access is too difficult to bother.
When is the City going to cut the trees and clean the trash from it? That would help water flow - at least for now until you are able to "improve" further.

Ms. Petitt,
The attached email was sent to FEMA on September 22, 2008 as part of a protest for the proposed floodplain maps. We submitted this prior to the construction of the channel behind your
house. When we complete the Coppell Road construction we will also submit for a letter of map revision. We were simply trying to eliminate the Zone A when the new maps come out. The
new maps have not come out yet, so I don't know if FEMA has accepted this protest or not.
The data included has a map showing your finished floor information, and a calculated Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The map is also signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer.
This should contain the information you are looking for. It indicates that your home is more than 2.5 feet above the calculated BFE. This should be enough to remove your structure
from the floodplain.
Feel free to call me with any questions.

Keith-
Attached is the electronic copy of our response to FEMA regarding the DFIRM. I will be sending this response letter as well as the supporting electronic data to FEMA via certified mail
and will also send the City a hard copy of the letter and the digital data.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks
