NOTICE OF DISCLAIMER

RE: Construction Permits within Green River Industrial Area
You are notified that the City of Renton has received some

elevation may be incorrect. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency has computed the hypothetical level of the 100 year
flood for purposes of flood insurance coverage and building
elevation. However , there is no presently reliable data with
which to calculate the actual elevation of the 100 year flood.
Therefore, the City of Renton disclaims any liability for all
damages which may be sustained by you for property damage , or
otherwise, based upon the City' s issuance of the above stated
permit. You are advised to seek your ov n consultant for counsel
concerning the advisability of commencing construction based
upon the above stated permit .
