Re: Floodplain Development Permit for Grapevine Springs Park
Dear Mr. Beene:
Included with this letter, please find a completed copy of a Floodplain Development Permit.
As I stated during our phone conversation, the typical process is to provide a blank permit, have
the applicant fill it out and submit it back to the City for review. If it is acceptable at that time,
then Floodplain Administrator will sign it. In this case, all parties are working together for the
common goal of completing the work on the Grapevine Springs Park so that a grand opening
can be accomplished by August 28th. Therefore, I am providing you with a completed
Floodplain Development Permit. I request that you sign the permit, date it and return the
original back to the City offices. Once I have received it and signed it, a copy will be made and
forwarded back to you for your files. One thing that you should note is that when a variance
is received prior to receiving the conditional letter of map amendment, standard language is
placed on the Floodplain Development Permit which states that the Applicant (Dallas County)
will make any changes requested by FEMA prior to the acceptance of the work by the City.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.,
City Engineer
