He explained that the work on the <br /> Arroyo put the floor height of Mr. Riley's house above the 100-year <br /> floodplain, removing the house from the 100-year floodplain area, <br /> although the land around it, including his yard, still fall within <br /> the flood zone area. For this reason, the house was not required <br /> to get flood insurance. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes inquired what portion of the Valley Trails area is <br /> still within the 100-year floodplain area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift answered that about a quarter of the houses in <br /> 9-4-90 <br /> <br /> - 13 - <br /> <br /> <br />
