'.)5.~9.~01.:1 Just talked to him again, and he wanted to explain that Sonny at Garrett had provided some information with the fill permit application, and because Garrett hasn't had time to do the LOMR within the time constraints and he talked to Jim Callaway who told him MDG had probably done more LOMR's here than anyone, so he talked to Greg Taggart who agreed to do his LOMR , but then found that the information MDG compiled differs from that turned in by Sonny at Garrett and actually indicates some fill was placed in the floodway. That fill in the floodway was supposed to be the subject of the phone call Paul was supposed to have had with the FEMA people who said that little bit wouldn't hurt anything!

I did my duty and actually called him back! He was wanting me to look in the file and see if I wrote down a name of someone that I talked to regarding the Floodway discrepancy and some Environmental study and that it was no big deal since it was such a small piece of property . Now that I have repeated what he told me I said ; I don't remember ever saying anything like that. (what a surprise) He didn't sound too coherent on the phone -so I am not sure if he is getting a conversation with someone else confused with one he had with me. Oh, this is in regards to his horse haven estates and the commercial tract up front that he has filled . He was supposed to have the FEMA LOMR-F submitted by Oct. 15th (if my memory is correct) -that is the 6 mo. rule . He has spoken to someone at FEMA who said it was OK to get it in late . I told him I would email you all so that you could look in the DP file to see if there was any such correspondence on my part with someone???? He wanted me to look and I clarified for him that I no longer work for CS and that I would pass on by email the info to you . Maybe you can have Deborah G. call him back, she has a good rep. with him . Hate to pass the buck -I sure do miss Burt!! (tongue in cheek!!!!) Let me know if I can help or if this message doesn't make sense . (Burt may have rubbed off) W. Paul Kaspar Civil Engineer -Engineering Division City of Bryan P.O .

Bo x 9960 1101 Te xas A venue Tel : 409 764 3500 Coll ege St at ion , TX 77842 We have reviewed your development pennit application to store fill outside the floodplain on the property opposite from the Golf Driving Range as shown on a drawing submitted by your engineer, Don Garrett. It is also our understanding that there is substantial fill located within the 100 year floodplain as delineated by FEMA on this same property. This fill has been placed without the benefit of a development pennit from the city and therefore must be removed . The City of College Station does not have a problem with your application in itself, however, the unauthorized fill within the floodplain must be moved to an area outside the 100 year floodplain prior to our issuance of a temporary fill pennit for this site. If Y<?U choose to seek an appeal to this decision you may make written notice of appeal to the Floodplain Administrator, Veronica Morgan, within 10 working days of receiving this letter. This appeal would be heard by the Municipal Court. The Municipal Court shall be finally binding upon all parties involved. If you have any questions, please contact me at 409-764-3570. Sincerely, W.

H. No. 6 south of Switch Station Road. To whom it may concern: Please be informed that the proposed fill (approximately 5890 cu. yds., in place) in the flood plain area adjacent to Wolf Pen Creek and as shown in FEMA map No. 48041C0144C, 7 /2/92 would not dramatically or adversely impact or affect the overall watershed area for this drainageway. Please note that the floodway for this watershed is approximately the existing fenceline of the subject tract and that Mr. Hermann has been informed of this. He has also been made aware that no fill must be proposed or will be allowed within this area or beyond this f enceline and that the flood way should be located as best possible and fill should begin beyond this point and be sloped at a maximum of 3: 1 slopes away from this line to reach the desired elevation (approx. 252.50 elev.). The proposed compacted fill should then be sloped at a 1-1 .5% slope away from this point and toward the north-northwest to match the approximate existing slope til it matches the existing ground elevation which should occur at approximately 350-400 feet back from this point. < We hope this letter serves to provide you with what is required of us in this matter and that it meets with your approval and provides the information you require. cc: Mr. Burton Ray Hermann 2401 East By-pass College Station, Texa s 77845 file Gf.\RRETT Ei'IGli'IEERli'IG HRMNFLPN.DOC • [B tt~~~mAnn REALTY •'s RE A LT 0 R' 409 /696 ~079 5 " ~ '(.<!) ~0'/3EGSSTATION , T EXAS Nf/4e7"7 R ~ • ,-~f0~.S 409 /776 8Q~ MEMBER OF NATIONAL ASSOC.
