Dear Mr. Burris:
This is in response to your July 9, 1998 letter requesting that the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determine whether the following property
is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an area that would be inundated
by the 100-year (one-percent annual chance) flood.
Property Description That part of Lot 86 of Mading Sunny Shore
Addition No. 6 as recorded in Volume 4 of Plats,
page 107, lying southwesterly of a line running
southeasterly from a point on the westerly line of
said tract, North 27 degrees 49' East 65.01 feet
from its southwest corner to a point on its easterly
line North 49 degrees 33' East 34.13 feet from its
southeast corner.
Street Address 3011 East Mason Lake Drive East
Community Mason County
State Washington
On September 9, 1998, we received all information necessary to process your
request. After comparing this information with the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) map for Mason County, we determined that although portions of
the property would be inundated by the 100-year flood, the existing structure on
this property would not. Therefore, this letter amends the map for Mason County,
Washington (NFIP Map Number 530115, Panel 0150 C, dated May 17, 1988) to
remove this structure from the SFHA. The structure is now in Zone C, an area of
minimal flooding outside the 500-year floodplain. Because portions of the property
are in the SFHA, any future construction or substantial improvement on this
property remains subject to Federal, State, and local regulations for floodplain
management.

You should note that this property could be inundated by a flood greater than the
100-year flood or by local flooding conditions not shown on the NFIP map. Also,
although we have based our determination on the information presently available,
flood conditions may change or new information may be generated that would
supersede this determination.
Please be advised that the NFIP offers a policy designed for one-to-four-family
homes in areas, which are not, designated a Special Flood Hazard Area, but where
flood exposure still presents a significant risk. This policy is a comprehensive
policy that is available to property owners in B, C and X Zones only. For more
information about this policy, contact your insurance agent.
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 your
community when it made application to join the NFIP, it should be attached to the
community's official record copy of the NFIP map which is available for public
inspection.
If this structure is covered by a flood insurance policy, and if the mortgage
company or lending institution agrees to waive the flood insurance requirement,
then 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. This written waiver or certificate
must then be sent to the 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 Washington or Mason County has adopted more restrictive and
V:mpr-. .nln J f` e fIi iu Oai mai -uJ e e-. t criter i a, these Cri+orin take n••r eceden`e Over
the minimum Federal criteria.
If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance, please call me at
206/487-4682.
Sincerely,
P/a L. Steele, Director
Mitigation Division
