The following full statement of restrictions must be placed in the dedication instrument of any subdivision plat that contains land designated as part of a 100-year floodplain by FEMA:

Floodplain Restriction

No construction shall be allowed within a floodplain easement unless specifically approved by the City of Benbrook. Where construction is permitted, all finished floor elevations shall be a minimum of two (2) feet above the 100-year flood elevation.

Any existing creeks, lakes, reservoirs, or drainage channels traversing along or across portions of this addition, will remain as an open channel at all times and will be maintained by the individual owners of the lot or lots that are traversed by or adjacent to the drainage courses along or across said lots. The City of Benbrook will not be responsible for the maintenance and operation of said drainage ways or for the control of erosion. Each property owner shall keep the natural drainage channels traversing adjacent to his property clean and free of debris, silt, or any substance which would result in unsanitary conditions and the City shall have the right of ingress and egress for the purpose of inspection and supervision of maintenance work by the property owner to alleviate any undesirable conditions which may occur. The natural drainage channel, as in the case of all natural drainage channels, is subject to storm water overflow and natural bank erosion to an extent that cannot be definitely defined. The City of Benbrook shall not be liable for damages of any nature resulting from the occurrence of these natural phenomena, nor resulting from a failure of any structures within the natural drainage channels. The natural drainage channel crossing each lot is shown by the floodplain easement line as shown on the plat.
