SID Coordinator Enclosure have any district on my letter CITY OF FORT COLLINS STORM WATER UTILITY February 4, 1985 Mr. Michael Jones Parsons & Associates 432 Link Lane Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado Re: Fairbrooke Subdivision, 1st Filing Dear Mike: I would like to address two items concerning the storm drainage within the 1st Filing of Fairbrooke Subdivision. First, Jack Cochran of Wheeler Realty has requested a payback by the City for oversizing the culverts beneath Hamshire Road at the southern boundary of the project. This request was initiated about one year ago and has yet to be resolved. I have a letter from Ken Rabbers to Marc Engemoen dated January 30, 1984 that includes flow calculations and cost estimates for the culvert oversizing. Some of this information is needed to evaluate the City's share of costs, but some is extraneous. The policy is that the Stormwater Utility will pay for the incremental cost increase necessary to upgrade drainage improvements to meet basin -wide needs that are not necessary for the development in which they are built. In this particular case, that means the City, will only pay the cost for oversizing the culverts to handle the 66 cfs proposed to come from a temporary spillway on the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal. Further, if existing (historic at time of development of Fairbrooke) conditions would also cause the P.V. and Lake Canal to overflow, then that overflow rate would be deducted from the proposed 66 cfs rate. The tributary flow from Brown Farm must be considered historic, and hence is the entire responsibility of the developer. In addition, since this thalweg drains a relatively large basin, all flows that would have historically passed Hampshire are also the developer's responsibility. Before payment: can be made by the City to the developer, the historic flows must be determined, documentation of actual costs presented, and a detailed estimate of the costs if the culverts had been smaller (to only handle on -site and historic flows) must be submitted.

Michael Jones February 4, 1985 Page Two The second item I want to mention concerns the discussion we had in my office last week regarding elimination of a storm sewer line along Hampshire Road. At that meeting I approved the substitution of a grasslined Swale with a 6" subdrain for the proposed 15" R.C.P. storm drain. I regret to tell you that the 15" storm drain must be installed as originally planned. I was mistaken to approve the change without researching the situation in more detail. While going through the Fairbrooke Subdivision file, I discovered several comments Phil Waite had made while reviewing the utility plans. One note dated April 22, 1984 specifically requested that the swale be replaced with a storm drain and inlet. I also talked with Matt Baker, the Construction Inspector, watching the project and Bob Smith. Matt said the pipe was already strung out ready to be laid, and Bob was concerned with trash accumulating in the swale on the rip -rap - a maintenance problem. We discussed the problem with the existing sidewalk lying above the proposed storm drain and decided it would be best to relocate the line to the west so that the sidewalk would not have to be replaced. From the utility plans (Sheet 7/8) iit appears it is possible to move the line west and still only require one manhole in the line, so the cost will be the same as the originally approved plan. After you have redrawn the storm sewer on the original mylar plan sheet (7/8), please bring it in so that the revision can be approved. I apologize again for this mistake.

Dear Tom: On behalf of Wheeler Realty, the developers of the Fairbrooke S.I.D., I have investigated the potential for a payback by the City of Fort Collins to Wheeler Realty. This payback is occasioned by the over -sizing of the storm drainage culverts which pass under Hampshire Road near the project's southern boundary. The 38" x 60" concrete culverts which have been installed were designed to carry a 10-year flow of 137.1 cfs. This flow -is the combination of 71.1 cfs which the level oper would be required to accommodate, plus 66 cfs which would spill over from the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal. I have calculated that two 48-inch reinforced concrete pipes (hydraulically equivalent to two 38" x 60") would be the minimum size necessary to carry this flow. I have also calculated that two 36-inch pipes would be the minimum necessary to carry the above -mentioned 71.1 cfs. The difference in costs for these two improvements is reflected in the payback summary. (Exhibit "B", attached) If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.

The Master Plan, Volume II - Preliminary Design Report identifies several spillways that should be constructed to control overflow of the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal. One such spillway is proposed to be constructed upstream from Fairbrooke PUD and will generate an estimated 66 cfs flow during a major storm. This runoff is routed through a natural thelweg that separates Fairbrooke from several of the Brown Farm filings, under Hampshire Road and into the proposed regional pond at the southwest corner of Taft Hill Road and Prospect Road. The culverts under Hampshire Road were increased in size to handle this additional 66 cfs flow proposed in the Preliminary Design Report. The developer is now requesting repayment for this additional cost. Attached you will find a cover letter from Michael Jones of Parsons & Associates, the developer's engineer; an exhibit "B" form; calculation sheets and two (2) change orders authorizing the oversizing of the culverts, and a letter from the contractor documenting costs. I have reviewed the material, contacted other contractors, and called the pipe supplier to check the figures submitted and find them to be reasonable. I recommend approval of this repayment of $23,200, to come from the Canal Importation Basin Fund, which has a current balance of $537,826. The $23,200 will be transferred within the fund from the contingency line item to Fairbrooke Developer Repayments.

This inspection was performed in order to determine if the storm drainage requirements of the Fairbrooke 1st Development Agreement was being adhered to. Section 2-A of the Development Agreement allows for the release of 35 building permits and 17 certificates of occupancy prior to the completion of all storm drainage facilities. As of today's date, 26 building permits and 17 C.O.'s have been released by our department. Since several of the 9 buildings under construction appear to be near completion, we will extend the C.O. requirement to 26 certificates of occupancy when you have submitted to the City an acceptable schedule stating when and who will perform the remaining work. You also may obtain 9 additional building permits as per the agreement. This is to inform you what remaining work needs to be constructed by the Developer prior to approval and acceptance of the storm drainage facilities by the City.

At this time, the following conditions of the channel/vegetation were observed. I have also included maintenance recommendations which, in my opinion, would help obtain channel conditions that would be acceptable to the City for final acceptance. 1. Vegetation density is generally better than I had expected to observe after only one year's growing season. With a little maintenance now, I would not, anticipate having any problems achieving the required density for City acceptance. Generally, two years minimum would be considered quite successful for dry land seeding. 2. Three areas on the North side of the channel need to reseeded. These are areas where excavation material was stockpiled by the builder. (I brought this to your attention when I found the builder piling dirt in the channel.) 3. The vegetation height dictates that it be mowed. This will help prevent weeds from seeding and will also provide mulch for moisture retention for additional seed germination. I would anticipate mowing to be required three to five times this summer, depending on the amount of moisture we receive. I would also suggest that you set up a schedule for this work with your contractor in order to avoid confrontations with the Weed Abatement Officer. 4. Several of the homes on Hollingbourne adjacent to the channel have apparently "dumped" their landscaping debris (rocks, concrete, etc.) over their fences into the channel. This needs to be removed. STORMWATER UTILITY T 300 LaPorte Ave. • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221-6589 5. The entire channel requires that weed control be performed. I would suggest that this be delayed until the spring of '89 for two reasons. First, weed spraying is more efficient in the wet, early spring when the weeds are, growing vigorously. Secondly, it appears that seed germination is still taking place and the spraying might jeopardize this germination. I would suggest that you consult Fort Collins Hydroseed prior to performing any of the above. I would expect them to be better informed of proper maintenance techniques than I am. Please tap that resource since they did the original seeding. I would anticipate with the proper maintenance now, that you should be able to obtain an acceptable stand of grass from what is now in place. (Except the three damaged areas.) I would be happy to check the channel for final City acceptance anytime you feel you have obtained the required density as per Ci ty speci fi c:ati ons .

CITY OF FORT COLLINS MEMORANDUM DATE: December 21, 1984 TO: Mauri Rupel, SID Coordinator FROM: Matt Baker, Construction Inspector. RE: Fairbrooke SID ` I am concerned about the drainage improvements in Fairbrooke S.I.D., specifically the lack of a drainage swale from the curb chase on Hampshire Road just south of Cedarwood. This is a low point on Hampshire with no way for water to drain away from the roadway. I believe that water ponding in this area all winter will lead to pavement damage and premature pavement failure. This is my most serious concern about this project. However, I am also expecting erosion problems due to lack of any rip -rap placed on this project. Earthmoving operations were continued well into the summer and we did not get the weed growth that was hoped would control wind erosion and blowing dust problems. If we experience blowing dust problems this January and February, I am doubtful that we will get cooperation from the developer in time to control the problem. I have not been successful at reaching Mr. Cochran at any time except when I have taken drastic action. Is there some way we could get a commitment to have a contractor "on call" or available over the winter for this emergency work? ��✓"� J�� e Tom"+ � � `"x ;o i" M �� ' d vJ�" W?"_ 4 Wty .t"`�4 w`"�..' _ 7r, ,+.i.,..i,..�.nr.r..e,.,i.. w�� e .,'�w�'`r.As.�•sSYae`�i1?astdilsiia'�ki.�._�h.'�.is�i�ir#ue '�"a ' .

From what I understood you felt the developer of the site should not have to pay the Basin Fee and at the same time be required to temporarily detain runoff from the site. It was decided at our meeting that because the recommended Canal Importation improvements are not yet constructed downstream of the project detention would be necessary unless the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal Irrigation Company would accept the increased discharge. Based on that decision you proposed to partially construct the storm drainage channel portion of the recommended improvements to the PV&L Canal in the form of a shallow swale and to use this swale as a temporary detention pond which would outfall into the PV&L Canal. In consideration for the construction of the swale you requested the Basin Fee be waived. 0 After talking with Marc Engemoen and Bob Smith we came th the conclusion that the construction of the swale would not reduce the City's cost for the completion of the channel enough to justify waiving the entire Basin Fee. However the additional easement requirement for the future improvements to the PV&L Canal will qualify for credit against the Basin Fee. Please call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter in more detail. Sincerely, Philip G. Waite Civil Engineer II,.
