Dear Mr. Klaus:

CITY MANAGER
This is in response to our telephone conversation of April 2, 1990 and your
letter dated March 12, 1990 requesting the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) determine impact of development activity in the "Creek View sub-division"
along Grapevine Creek within the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas.
Thank you for informing our office of this situation. The concern of our Agency
is the possible negative impact that the reported construction activity within
an identified floodplain area may have upon the carrying capacity of Grapevine
Creek, and if approval and guidelines for development were based upon provisions
of Coppell's Floodplain Management Ordinance.
As a participating community in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the
City has chosen to adopt and agreed to enforce floodplain management regulations
that meet the minimum criteria of the NFIP (44 CFR Chapter 1, Part 60.3(d)). It
is their resRon~ty t~nforce the local pr?~9~m~am. Communities that fail to
~c~ their ordinance can be placed o_9~robation or suspended from the ~
by FEMA. --
In order to ensure that the NFIP participating communities are adequately
administering and enforcing the local floodplain management program. FEMA
periodically meets with those communities to evaluate the adequacy of the local
program in relation to the minimum criteria of the NFIP.
A copy of our correspondence has been forwarded to the community's Floodplain
Administrator for review and appropriate action. Enclosed is NFIP information
requested during our phone conversation.
If you have any questions regarding this information or if I can be of any
further assistance, please let me know by writing or calling (817) 898-9178.
Sincerely,
Enclosure /

Dear Mr. Pagano,
It is my understanding that the "as
built" final
documentation on the Creek View sub-division in Coppell,
Texas, must be approved by your department. Since there has
been unauthorized activity such as placing fill concrete and
dirt directly in Grapevine Creek, I request that all
development plans be checked and corrective action taken,
that will assure the flood plane of the Grapevine Creek has
not been altered creating adverse conditions on existing
property owners.
My request is directed to your department on the
recommendation of the Coppell City engineering staff. I have
registered several complaints to Coppell staff in the last
two years because I have lost four to six feet of my
property which is located directly north of the Creek View
sub-division and adjoining Grapevine Creek.
My address is:
515 Meadowcreek Road
Coppell, TX. 7501~
Telephone 214-595-0454 (Home)
214-869-074~ (Work)
Please give me a call if you need more information. I
sincerely appreciate any help you can provide my neighbors
and me in regards to this problem.
Sincerely, /
CC: Mayor Mark Wolfe
