January 11, 2000
Consider approval of a variance with stipulations for an Interim Permit, upon
concurrence of City Engineer, to Floodplain Management Ordinance No. 94-639,
Article 4, Section B, Item 1 l(a), which states that the Floodplain Administrator must
"assure that conditional approvals are received from Federal Emergency Management
Agency before a Floodplain Development Permit is issued" for the proposed Coppell
High School parking lot.
This request is for reclamation of property between the existing Coppell High School parking lot and
Cottonwood Creek. The proposed improvements include fill and some sloping along the southern
bank of Cottonwood Creek. A detention area will also be created on the east end of the proposed
parking lot near the intersection of Cowboy Drive and Parkway Blvd. The reclaimed land will be
utilized for additional parking, and the construction of a tennis facility. The flood study meets City
requirements and has been processed to FEMA for approval.
Therefore, staff offers no objections to the variance request with the following stipulations:
1. Any changes requested by FEMA during the Flood Study be complied with prior to acceptance
by the City.
2. No Building Permits will be issued on any structures within the development until the Flood
Study has been approved by FEMA.
Compliance with the above stipulations will be monitored. Therefore, staff recommends approval of
this request and will be available to answer questions at the Council meeting.
