Re: Review of Shadowwoods Estates Floodplain Reclamation by Nathan D. Maier
Consulting Engineers for Compliance with ~he City Floodplain Ordinance
Dear Mr. Doyle:
We have completed the review of the subject study for compliance with the
city floodplain ordinance. The subject study identified an existing
condition floodplain that was significantly higher than the floodplain
currently being used as a baseline by the city. This is because of better
field survey data which identified a high ground not previously modeled.
Our review of the material presented indicates that the modeling effort is
correct. However there are two minor items that must be included before
the study complies with the city floodplain ordinance. They are as
follows:
1. According to Article 5c-6 the lowest floor elevation for each lot
must be shown on the site grading plan. This was not completed.
2. According to Article 5c-5 the boundary of the floodplain and
floodway must be shown on the plat. Only the floodway was shown on
the plat, the floodplain needs to be shown as well.
We suggest that this submittal be forwarded to FEMA for information
purposes only, since it does not require a map change and does not increase
the existing FIS floodplain.

We also request that a copy of the study be provided on a DSDD Floppy Disk
so that we can update the current city floodplain study through the area.
If we can provide further information please call me.
