Dear Wayne:
The Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II ('PCJV'), the owner of the Parks of
Coppell property, is currently neootiatino, a contract of sale on a portion
of its land. The potential p~rchaser ('Purchaser') has requested certain
assurances reqardin~ the City's interpretation of its recently adopted
Flood Plain Management Ordinance (the 'Ordinance') as ft relates to the
modifications of the Flond~¥ ~undary and Flood~y Map (the
Map') which were preliminarily approved by the Federal Emergency
Management Acgenc¥ ("~') by letter to the City from Michael ~aher, Jr.,
Inc., consultant to FEMA, on November 8, 1982, t .o~ether with attachments
thereto, (the 'Preliminary Approval Letter' ) copies of which have been
supplied to your office. A co~ of the cover transmittal letter of the
Preliminary Approval Letter is attached hereto.
~ we have explained to you, the Preliminary Approval Letter was issued by
FEHA on the entire Parks of Coppell project, both east and west of Denton
Tap Road. Ba~-d upon tJ~e Preliminary Approval Letter, the majority of the
flood frinqe land in the Parks of Coppell which lies east of Denton TaD
has been filled and reclaimed over the last 4 1/2 years in ec~pliance with
the Preliminary Approval Letter and, on September 24, 1987, ~ issued
its Letter of Map Amendn~nt removing the reclaimed areas from the flood
plain (cover letter enclosed), thus recoqnizir~, the cor~pletton of work
contemplated by the Preliminary A~roval letter. As to tho~e parts of
I~Co-V land which have not yet been reclaimed which lie west of Denton Tap,
the flood~¥ boundaries approved in the Preliminary Approval Letter and
accc~panyinq Flood~y ~lap are identical to the flond~y boundaries shown
on the later February, 1984 FE~A map and the current September, 1987
map.
