Dear Mayor Hunt:
Washington, D.C. 20472
June 7, 2016
IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO.: 16-06-0502A
Community: City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas
Community No.: 480170
Map Panel Affected: 48113C0135K
Map Effective Date: July 7, 2014
218 -65 -NF
We reviewed a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill request dated November 9, 2015. Based on the
submitted information and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we determined
that the property described below is located within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area
subject to inundation by the base (1 -percent -annual -chance) flood, and within the regulatory floodway
for Grapevine Creek. We also determined that fill has been placed on the property since the designation
of the floodway. The property is correctly shown on the effective NFIP map in an SFHA designated
Zone AE, with Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) determined.
Property Description: A portion of a parcel of land, as described in the Special Warranty Deed
recorded as Document No. 201400045575, in the Office of the Clerk,
Dallas County, Texas
Street Address: 225 Southwestern Boulevard
Flooding Source: Grapevine Creek
We have determined that fill has been placed on the above -referenced property, portions of which lie
within the regulatory floodway adopted by your community. In accordance with Subparagraph
60.3(d)(3) of the NFIP regulations, no encroachment may take place within the regulatory floodway if
the encroachment would cause an increase in the BFEs. Therefore, the placement of fill on the property
may be in violation of the regulations. We have notified our Regional Office in Denton, Texas, of this
situation. Revisions to the BFEs and/or regulatory floodway must be coordinated by community
officials and submitted to our Regional Office for review and approval. Your community should contact
Mr. Mark Lujan of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region VI Office, by telephone at
(940) 383-7327 for guidance on the specific actions required to resolve this issue.

We will not continue processing this request until the issue is resolved with our Regional
Office. This determination is based on the flood data presently available.
Sincerely,
