Re: Fence in floodplain

Mr. GrosoH
Thank you for your efforts in trying to resolve this issue. However, this emai1leads me to the opinion
that you will not be providing a detailed flood study showing the effects of your encroachment into the
floodplain. If that is the case, you should remove all encroachments from the floodplain. It's my
understanding that there is a fence and some type of play equipment (swing set?) in the floodplain.
Please make plans to remove the encroachments within the next 30 days. That end date is March 11,
2008. If the encroachments are not removed by that date, you will be in violation of Ordinance 2001-
952, the city's Floodplain Management Ordinance. Any person convicted of a violation of this
Ordinance could be fined $500 per day for each day that the violation continues.
If you should have any additional questions, please contact me at your convenience.

Ken,
I talked with Burt Weathersbee as well that shared with me your e-mail response.
Like Jim O'Brien estimated, Burt as well estimated a cost of approx $8,000 to do a
full blown flood study with hydraulic modeling.
If this is what you need, obviously, it will not make sense for me to invest so much
for such a insignificant matter.
Please confirm.
Regards.

Ken,
I spoke today with Jim 0' Brien that received the e-mail from you describing the study you
requested for the fence. What I understand he understood is that basically what is required
from you would be an hydraulic study that, even without going to FEMA, will cost me
(Jim's estimate) anything between $6,000 and $10,000.
As we talked about when we met few weeks back, I am sure you understand something
like this constitutes a disproportioned expense as compared to the $2,800 iron fence.
I would like to see, if possible, what Burt Weathersby (from the other engineering
company - Carter & Burgess) says, but I am afraid, if that is the study requested, things are
unlikely to get better for me.
Let me know ifthere is something I am missing, or I, unfortunately, got it right.
Thanks again and Regards.
