Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
This is in response to your letter, dated April 25, 1996, requesting that the
F~deral E~ergency Management ~g~cy (FE~) dctermin~ ~:he~her the
property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an area that would be
inundated by the 100-year (1-percent annual chance) flood.

and Bounds Description
120 Hollywood Drive

480170
Denton Creek
On April 30, 1996, we received all information necessary to process your request.
After comparing this information with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
map for the community referenced above, we determined that, the property would
not be inundated by a 100-year flood. Therefore, this letter amends the map for
Coppell, Texas (NFIP Map Number 480170, Panel O010E, dated April 15, 1994 and
revised by letter, dated June 23, 1994), to remove this property from the SFHA.
Even though this property is not included in an SFHA, it could be inundated by
a flooding event of greater magnitude than the base flood. In fact, more than
25 percent of all losses in the NFIP occur to structures located outside the
SFHA in Zones B, C, or X. More than 25 percent of all policies purchased
under ~b~ HFIP protect struc~;ure~ !gc~ted ~n the~e z~n~. This clearly
illustrates that there is a risk of flooding in non-SFHAs. That risk is just
not as great as the flood risk to structures located in SFHAs. To offer flood
insurance protection to owners of such structures, the NFIP offers two types
of flood insurance. Property owners should discuss their individual flood
risk situation and insurance needs with their insurance agent of company
before making a final decision regarding flood insurance coverage. Also,
although we have based our determination on the flood information presently
available, flood conditions may change or new information may be generated
that could supersede this determination.
A copy of this Letter of Map Amendment is being sent to your community's
official NFIP map repository where, in accordance with regulations adopted by
the community when it made application to join the NFIP, it will be attached
to the community's official record copy of the NFIP map which is available for
public inspection.

If any structure on this property is covered by a flood insurance policy, and
if the mortgage company or lending institution agrees to waive the flood
insurance requirement, the NFIP will refund the premium paid for the current
policy year, providing that no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy
during the current policy year. To receive the refund, a written waiver or
certificate must be obtained from the mortgage company or lending institution
and presented to your insurance agent, who will process the premium refund.
This response to your request is based on minimum criteria established by the
NFIP. State and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions
and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in
the floodplain. If the State of Texas or the City of Coppell have adopted
more restrictive and comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these
criteria take precedence over the minimum Federal criteria.
If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance, please call
Vicky Carter at (817) 898-5333.
