RE: Flood Plain Information for Parcel Number 12320-42-90030 along the Union River.
Dear Mr. Blake:
I am writing in response to your request for a floodplain determination for your property
of interest referenced above. In making my determination, I relied on the Mason County
GIS images for the area and the Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM), Community-Panel
Number 530115 0135 C, effective May 17, 1988. I have included photocopies of the
relevant portion of the referenced documents so you can see how I made my
determination. My review of this site is limited to in office review with the FIRM map
and the GIS images; no field visit was conducted to verify the site.
The map and images at the same scale overlap very closely. From the comparison, the
property is on the west side of the Union River and accessed by the driveway and bridge
over the river. The residence near the north end is 50 feet away from the top of bank and
the pole building/garage at its south end is 115 feet from the top of bank. There is a
slight rise in the area of the residence that shows as a 45-foot contour, higher than the 40-
foot contour near the top of bank. At the 1:1,000 scale,the residential structure is just
outside of the mapped floodplain boundary,the pole building/garage is well outside the
floodplain boundary, and both structures are mapped as the C-zone(FEMA considers as
minimal flooding area).
If you have further questions please don't hesitate to call me at the number above. I can
be reached at extension 365.
Sincerely,
ZIA11tanBorden

planimetric features outside special flood hazard areas.
Coastal base flood elevations apply only landward of the shoreline
shown on this map.
