Periodically I go to FEMA's web site to check the status of the submittal to see ifFEMA has received
all necessary information for review. I've attached the latest inquiry (12/31/07 @ 9:00 am) which
continues to show that the information has not been received b FEMA to continue the review.
ICOPPELL, CITY OF Ilo7-06-2203P IlsUSPEND DUE TO FEE OR DATA:
07-06-2203P is the FEMA case number for the study.
In all fairness, I did speak to Mike Boyd (Mr. Hawkins engineer for the study) on 11/28/2007 and he
stated that he had resubmitted all information that FEMA required and it does take several weeks for
the information to route though FEMA to the correct person. However, that does not resolve the
floodplain issue until FEMA issues a CLOMR (which authorizes the work to take place - I already let
that work place when the last information was submitted) and the LOMR. The LOMR is the actual
document needed that will remove the property from the floodplain. A developer can not even apply
for a LOMR until he has performed all the work he said he was going to do under the CLOMR (which
we don't currently have). The LOMR includes additional information submitted back to FEMA that
everything was completed correctly and it also includes geotechnical information that all work is
correct. I also have the certify that all work was completed correctly.
Even if Mr. Hawkins had a CLOMR and completed all fill today and had all the geotechnical
information and I came in to work from my vacation today and signed it, it's doubtful that
he would receive the official LOMR in time to file this plat. That's the reason that I suggested that he
only final plat the lots out of the current floodplain. If he continues and desires to plat all lots at this
time, he must show the current floodplain. The current floodplain is the only legal and official
floodplain that exists at this time. I can not assume what some future action of a federal office (FEMA)
will be.
Hope this information was helpful.

I just received a written response from Mr. Hawkins to staffs DRC Comments (see attachments) where
Mr. Hawkins states that there is no longer a boundary dispute or a flood plain issue. Ken and I will
work out the appropriate response on the flood plain issue.. but what about the boundary dispute??
thanks

Attached is a letter I just received from the attorney representing the property owner abutting
Alexander Court to the west, apparently there is an on-going boundary dispute.
What involvement, if any, does the city have with this?
