This site is in the McClelland/Mail Creek drainage basin where there new development fee is $3,717 per acre, subject to the runoff coefficient and amount of impervious surface. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer registered in Colorado. Onsite detention is required including water quality provided by extended detention. The site is on Stormwater inventory map 9Q. A copy can be obtained from the Utilities office at 700 Wood Street. Onsite detention is required with a two-year historic release rate for water quantity and extended detention is required for water quality treatment. The site is limited to a C- Factor of .75. In the McClelland's/Mail Creek drainage basin onsite detention is required with a 0.2 cfs/ac release rate for the 10 year storm and a 0.5 cfs/ac release rate for the 100 year storm. Extended detention is required to treat the runoff which was not a requirement when this development was approved. The existing low area to the south of the building site could be used to treat the runoff by adding a water quality outlet in front of the outlet pipe. This area is not part of the water quantity volume of the detention system. This site developed before the present rainfall requirements so the drainage study will need to evaluate the existing drainage system and detention pond with the present rainfall. If the pond freeboard can accommodate the additional volume; a variance to the freeboard requirement may be requested. Some additional volume by be available in the area discussed above. Easements will be needed for the detention pond and the outfall system. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter, 221-6700. 7.

The two-story building would be 7,500 square feet in size. Twenty-five parking spaces are proposed. According to the original P.U.D., Lot Two contains .53 acre and is approved for 7,500 square feet of gross leasable floor area COMMENTS: The site is zoned H-C, Harmony Corridor. Offices are a permitted use subject to review by the Hearing Officer (Type One Review). One of the handicap parking stalls must be van -accessible and be 16 feet in width. Be sure to provide bicycle parking near the front entrance. A code change is being forwarded to City Council that will require the trash enclosure to be large enough to accommodate containers for recyclable materials. The size is flexible based on the needs of the office user. The build -to line along Boardwalk is between 15 and 25 feet behind the property line. Please be aware of the standard regarding Orientation to a Connecting Walkway in Section 3.5.3(B)(1). This standard requires that at least one main entrance face and open directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage. A connecting walkway means (1) any street sidewalk, or (2) any walkway that directly connects a main entrance of a building to the street sidewalk without requiring pedestrians to walk across parking lots or driveways, around buildings or around parking lot outlines which are not aligned to a logical route. 4. Please be aware that the number of parking stalls is now regulated by the allowable maximum number of spaces versus a required minimum. For general office, three spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area is the maximum. This allowable maximum increases to 4.5/1,000 for medical office space. There is an "exception to the standard" provision if more parking is needed over the allowable maximum. This exception is to accommodate the unique needs of individual tenants, such as call centers, or where there may be shift work. COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 221 N. College Ave. P.O.
