What is a flood Plain?

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:20:28 +0000

What is a flood Plain?
Within the City of College Station are areas known as floodplains. These are regulatory boundaries established to preserve the flood carrying capacity of our creeks, channels and rivers.
Floodplains are established by engineering analysis and are reviewed, approved and mapped by the Federal Emergency Management agency (FEMA). These maps are available for review at the City’s Development Services Department, or by following the applicable link below to the FEMA web site.
Because the protection of floodplains are crucial in managing the dangers associated with flooding, regulations are in place that strictly limit allowable activities in flood prone areas. These are included in the Code of Ordinance Chapter 13, Flood Hazard Protection, which can be viewed via the link below.
Questions about floodplains, the City’s Flood Protection Ordinance, or ongoing construction may be referred to the Floodplain Administrator.

Writing in last Sunday’s New York Times, Ben Stein Simple Currency Forex Trading noted this and that the Fed does not have much power to influence the price of oil. He is right. And for that matter, we can’t do much about the external demand impacting the price of food—which, by the way, carries twice the weight of energy in the consumer basket of personal consumption expenditures. But the dynamics of production and demand among the new participants in the global economy nonetheless impact us i

Reserve Bank: property prices won’t crash November 21st, 2008 According to the big boss at the RBA, property prices in Australia may decline, but they won’t crash like they have in the USA and elsewhere: “Indeed, prices probably are falling - gently. But I think there are enough differences in the US versus Australia dynamic between the US. We certainly shouldn’t assume there is going to be a crash but some combination of a general decline in prices and gradual growth of income (was expe

How A Realty Agent Can Help You Purchase Townhouses

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:10:09 +0000

So, what is the distinction between a real estate agent and a “Realtor.” Basically, a Realtor is a real estate agent that has become a member of the National Association of Realtors and thus subscribed to the Code of Ethics required of the state. Most buyers are looking for a Realtor that is honest. That’s why testimonials are so important. When a buyer is dealing with what could probably be the biggest investment they will ever make, it is important to work with a real estate agent that can b

CPPI Increases in September by 2.5 percent

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:07:59 +0000

Moody’s recently reported that the CPPI, which measures repeat sales of the same properties over time, increased by 2.5 percent over August levels but is still down 7.9 percent from last year.
It may seem odd that a sales index like the CPPI would post a gain but you need to take into consideration that many of these sales are from contracts that were entered into during the summer before the current market collapse.
In addition office prices posted a one percent decline from the third quarter but apartment prices rose 2.3 percent.
On the year apartment prices are down 7.2 percent, industrial 10.1 percent, office 8.3 percent and retail 9.9 percent.
