The city wide development fee is $3,070.00/acre which it is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is issued and is charged only when there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. 2. Normally a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. However in the Old Town drainage basin these are required only if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 5000 square feet. 3. Usually onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity and extended detention is required for water quality treatment. If there is 5000 square feet or less of new imperviousness, water quantity detention is not required. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet, but less than 5000 square feet, a grading plan is all that is required. 4. Water quality treatment is not required on this site since it drains to the Udall Natural Area where there is a water quality treatment facility.
