It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas is required. In the Old Town drainage basin, a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. These must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. If there is less than 5000 square feet of new impervious area, a drainage letter should be sufficient to document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. However, a grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. 2. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices (BMPs). Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however, the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. In this case, Disconnection of Impervious Area (DCIA) is a BMP that would meet those requirements. 3. There are no storm sewers in the area; therefore, the drainage outfall for the site is the curb and gutter of the street. 4. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. 5. The Stormwater development fees (PIF) are $6,313.00/acre ($0:1449/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft. and $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) for development review. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at http://www.fcgov.com/utilitiestbusinesstbuilders-and-developers/plant-investment-developm ent-fees or by contacting Jean Pakech at 221- 6375.
