Fill at Johnny Thompaon'8 Pro~rty
(Sandy Lake Near ~he ~mmtern City L~lt}
I have reviewed the correspondence related to the above referenced request for
fill permit, and a possible floodway map revision request made back in 1983 for
Mr. Thompson's 25 acre land located on the south side of Sandy Lake Road. Based
on Staff's review and findings, and limited information provided, Staff does not
recommend issuance of fill permit at this time. Please note the following
comments:
- It appears that FEMA had requested the City of Coppell to provide
two items in support of subject floodway change. Said items were a
formal letter of request, which has been furnished, and a resolution
or amendment to the floodplain ordinance reflecting this floodway
change. There is no indication that FEMA's second requirement was
ever met.
- In the past several years there has been a major change in FEMA's
maps and studies, as they related to the Elm Fork of Trinity River.
AB per our latest floodplain maps, it appears that this area of
Sandy Lake Road is in the 100-year floodplain and periodically, is
subject to flooding.
We need to have more technical data and documents before this permit is
recommended for approval and they, as minimum, are:
- A grading plan showing the existing and proposed contours, the
floodplain lines, etc., certified and sealed by an RPS, and a P.E.
in the State of Texas.
- Staff recommends the no loss in valley storage be allowed.
- Provide COE's wetland determination, and if applicable, the COE's
404 Permit must be obtained.
- The applicant must comply with the Floodplain Ordinance 987390, and
any state and federal requirements.
Please note that although the subject property appears to be out of floodway,
said property is still within floodplain limits. Therefore, I highly recommend
that sufficient document be submitted to the City and be forwarded to Mr. Ron
Morrison of Kimley Horn & Associates for evaluation. Mr. Morrison's floodplain
review fee, Per Ordinance #89438.1, is to be paid by the applicant with no cost
to the City.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
