I have just spoken to Mr. Hawkins engineer and the latest update on the status of the study is:
1) Necessary forms have been completed;
2) A notice will be published in the Citizen's Advocate this Friday concerning floodway modifications;
and
3) The effective model has been requested from FEMA by Mr. Hawkins engineer.
The first two items were easy. The third item will take some time. It will take FEMA about two weeks
to get the correct effective model to Mr. Hawkins engineer. It will then take the engineer about two
weeks to review the model and make any needed changes and resubmit the study to FEMA. FEMA's
review time is anybody's guess.
My recommendation for tonight will be for Council to approve the variance contingent on verification
from FEMA by the City Engineer that all necessary information has been received to complete their
review. Once we have that confirmation, we would allow fill to be placed in the floodplain while
FEMA completes their review.
This is the same approach that would be offered to any person developing property in Coppell in a
floodplain.
