BACKGROUND
The property owner at 4950 Wedgewood Lane along Browning Branch has applied for a fill permit to remove the 100-year floodplain from approximately 0.19 acres of the current 1.38 acres of floodplain on this property.
A neighborhood meeting was held virtually through Microsoft Teams on May 17, 2021. Attendees included the property owner, three Nathan D. Maier Consultant Engineers Inc., and six city staff members, and no citizens from the area attended. There has been no objection to the fill permit.
The fill permit application meets all engineering requirements for filling in the floodplain as specified in Part II of the Dallas Development Code, Section 51A-5.105(h). The applicant has not requested a waiver of any criteria. Accordingly, the City Council should approve this application; or it may pass a resolution to authorize acquisition of the property under the laws of eminent domain and may then deny the application to preserve the status quo until acquisition.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
City Council will be briefed by memorandum regarding this matter on June 18, 2021. <https://dallascityhall.com/government/citymanager/Documents/FY%2020-21%20Memos/DWU%20Memo_FP%2020-09%20-%204950%20Wedgewood_061821.pdf>
