Subject: Fwd: RE: Mulberry/Lemay Express Carwash Comments
Hi Susan,
They are actually proposing an access easement for the sidewalk in order to reduce their set back since
set back is typically taken from the ROW line. No U.E. will be required for this project since we have tons
of ROW with the frontage road. Sheri told me this has been done in the City but I need CDOT to agree to
it.
Thanks for forwarding that to me.

Hey Randy,
Could you tell me if this email is correct? I thought they had to dedicate the row to the back of walk (as
always) and then dedicate the utility easement as well. They are saying that they only dedicate to the
flowline?
Thanks,
Susan

[8/22/06] Answer to questions: Water quality treatment is accomplished with an extended
detention pond. This type of facility is sized to detain the "water quality capture volume" which
is the first quarter to half inch of runoff and release it over a 40 hour period. The design
parameters for water quality treatment are in volume 3 of the Denver Urban Drainage design
criteria manual.

could be used instead of going directly to the river. This option would not require approval of
the Natural Resourse Board to cross their property since it is an existing system.
Number: 5 Created: 8/22/2006
[8/22/06] It doesn't appear that the property extends to the Poudre River so an easement
across the land between the property and the low flow of the river.
Number: 6 Created: 8/22/2006
[8/22/06] The car wash water needs to be contained within the facility including minimizing
spray that may carry outside the building. Dripping rinse water from cars leaving facility is
allowed as long as the water does not contain soap or other pollutants.

[8/22/06] Floodplain Comments: Floodplain Comments:
• This site is located in the Poudre River floodplain. Much of the western portion of the site
is in the 500-year floodplain. The 100-year floodplain encroaches onto the site along the
eastern and southern portion of the site. The Product Corridor encroaches onto the southern
portion of the site.
• Critical - No critical facilities are allowed in either the 100-year or 500-year floodplain.
We'll need confirmation that no hazardous materials will be stored on the carwash site.
• Product Corridor - it appears the structure is outside the Product Corridor, but some of the
driveway, parking and landscaping are in the PC. The parking is allowed at grade or below. A
pre -construction no -rise certification by a P.E. is required along with existing spot elevations. A
post -construction no -rise certification and survey is required.
• 500-year Floodplain - no critical facilities allowed in the 500-year floodplain (see above).
• 100-year Floodplain - a small portion of the site work is located in the flood fringe. An
approved Floodplain Use permit ($25) is required prior to the start of the site work. The "future
development area" will be subject to the floodplain regulations also. Depending on the type of
use, structures will either have to be elevated or flood -proofed. Contact the floodplain
administrator for details before designing the rest of the site.
• Floodplain Administrator contact is Marsha Hilmes-Robinson at 970-224-6036.

[8/22/06] Answer to questions: The building can be in the 500 year floodplain. The only
regulation that applies to the 500 year floodplain is that no critical facilities are allowed in it.
That is things like day care, gas stations, police or fire facilities, etc.
At the PDR it was noted that the building would actually be located in the 100 year floodplain
which does have some floodplain requirements.
The structure must be elevated or flood -proofed to 2 feet above the 100 year water surface
elevation. (WSEL)
An option discussed was that the actual wash bays would not have to be flood -proofed or
elevated if the structure was vented to allow flood flows to enter and leave the building. The
office portion would still need to be elevated or flood -proofed to 2 ft. above WSEL.
An example of that is Schrader's car wash at Willow and College where the overhead doors are
sensor activated in case of a flood to open and there are other vents in the building as well.
A Floodplain Use Permit is required before a building permit can be issued and an elevation or
flood -proofing certification is required prior to release of the Certification of Occupancy. ( CO )
The floodplain maps are on the City's web site at fcgov.com and a CAD version could also be
provided.

[8/23/06] WATER SUPPLY: Minimum spacing and flow requirements must be met. The
building must be within 300 feet of a fire hydrant capable of supplying 1,500 gpm at 20 psi
residual pressure. The hydrant must be located on the southeast corner of the Lemay/Mulberry
intersection; hydrants across either Lemay or Mulberry will not be considered usable hydrants
for this location.

[8/22/06] This site is in the Cache La Poudre River Basin. The city wide development fee
$3,070/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the
time the building permit is issued.

[8/22/06] A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they
must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.
Number: 3 Created: 8/22/2006
[8/22/06] Extended detention is required for water quality treatment. Water quantity detention is
not required since the site can discharge directly to the Poudre River. The outfall into the river
needs to be landscaped and designed to minimize the visual impacts. The Natural Resources
Department will also be concerned about the visual impacts of the outfall.
Number: 4 Created: 8/22/2006
[8/22/06] There is an existing inlet and channel on the west side of the site that appears to be in
the Lemay ROW. If it is actually on the site there will need to be a dedicated easement for it.
This flow will need to continue with this development. It is also an optional drainage outfall that

Administratively staff has the flexibility to allow for encroachments into buffer zones and will do
so with this project. The trade off required by the code for allowing an encroachment is that the
project will be required to meet the Buffer Zone Performance Standards. City staff will not
support an encroachment within the 50' Native Riparian Forest buffer of 50 feet. This buffer
distance is measured from the drip line of the forest outward.

[8/23/06] It is likely that additional right-of-way dedication will be necessary along the Mulberry
frontage road. A minimum of 125.5 feet of half ROW must be provided on Mulberry per the
Mulberry Access Control Plan. A copy of the Mulberry — Hwy 14 Access Control Plan was
provided to you at the conceptual meeting.
Number: 24 Created: 8/23/2006
[8/23/06] Concrete sidewalk must be constructed along the north side of the Mulberry frontage
road extending to the easterly end of the project site and should tie into the existing concrete
sidewalk at the corner of Mulberry and Lemay. The sidewalk along the southerly side of the
frontage road cul-de-sac bulb may be attached and no less than 6 feet in width.
Number: 25 Created: 8/23/2006
[8/23/06] Mulberry — Hwy 14 is under CDOT jurisdiction. A CDOT permit will be required for the
frontage road improvements and access driveway.
Number: 26 Created: 8/23/2006
[8/23/06] The frontage road must be fully constructed, curb to curb, with a standard turn
around at the far west end. This may require some additional ROW dedication for the cul-de-
sac bulb. The cul-de-sac turn around shall be symmetrical and the standard specifications and
dimensions were provided to you at the meeting (LCUASS Drawing 7-19). The extension of the
frontage road and location of the turn around will be determined by Poudre Fire Authority
access requirements. Since emergency access to the proposed building will most likely be
taken from the cul-de-sac, the distance from the cul-de-sac to the building will be critical. I
believe that any part of the building must be within 150 feet from the access (cul-de-sac),
please see PFA comments for accessibility requirements for verification. Driveway access to
the car wash may be taken directly off of the cul-de-sac bulb at 90 degrees with the centerline.
