Dear Mr. Drake:
This is in response to y~ur letter, dated December 20, 1595, requesting that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determine whether the following
property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an area that would be
inundated by the 100-year (1-percent annual chance) flood.
Property Description: Lot 3, Block A, Replat of River Ridge, according
to the plat thereof recorded in Volume 95031,
Page 2123, Map Records, Dallas County, TX
Street Address: 1327 Bradford Drive
Community: Coppell
State: Texas
Community Number: 480170
Flooding Source: Denton Creek
On January 9, 1996, we received all information necessary to process your
request. After comparing this information with the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) map for the community referenced above, we determined that,
although portions of the property would be inundated by a 100-year flood, the
existing structure would not. Therefore, this letter amends the map for CoDDell,
Texas (NFIP Map Number 480170, Panel 0010E, dated April 15, 1994), to remove this
structure from the SFHA. Because portions of the property are in the SFHA, any
future construction or substantial improvement on this property remain subject
to Federal, State, or local regulations for floodplain management.
Please note that this property could be inundated by a flood greater than a 100-
year flood or by local flooding conditions not shown on the NFIP map. Flood
insurance (such as the Preferred Risk Policy) is obtainable, at reduced cost, for
properties located outside the SFHA. Also, although we have based our
determination on the flood info~mation presently available, flood condition~ may
change or new information may be generated that could supersede this
determination.
A copy of this Letter of Map Amendment is being sent to your community's official
NFIP map repository where, in accordance with regulations adopted by the
community when it made application to join the NFIP, it will be attached to the
community's official record copy of the NFIP map which is available for public
inspection.

If this structure is covered by a flood insurance policy, and if the mortgage
company or lending institution agrees to waive the flood insurance requirement,
the NFIP will refund the premium paid for the current policy year, providing that
no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy during the current policy
year. To receive the refund, a written waiver or certificate must be obtained
from the mortgage company or lending institution and presented to your insurance
agent, who will process the premium refund.
This response to your request is based on minimum criteria established by the
NFIP. State and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and
in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the
floodplain. If the State of Texas or the City of Coppell have adopted more
restrictive and comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take
precedence over the minimum Federal criteria.
If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance, please call
Vicky Carter at (817) 898-5333.
