Drainage Summary
401 South Mason Street
Fort Collins, CO
Low Impact Development (LID) Requirements
The developed site (Basin Al) of 2,830 sf will be entirely covered by the proposed
building footprint. Therefore, with no paving being provided, the site is not providing
pervious paved areas. In order to meet LID requirements, the rooftop of the building is
being proposed with approximately 970 sf of green roof resulting in a lower percent -
imperviousness and less overall runoff from the site compared to existing conditions.
Details of the green roof will be provided with subsequent submittals; however, for this
submittal calculations have been provided for the green roof assuming characteristics
of a rain garden with an underdrain system. Refer to Appendix B for rain garden
calculations.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the drainage system proposed within this drainage summary provides adequate
conveyance of the developed stormwater runoff from the proposed development to existing
discharge locations and drainage systems. It should also be noted that with this summary and
the corresponding design, every attempt has been made to minimize any negative impacts on
the downstream receiving waters. With the incorporation of the green roof, the site will
discharge a lower sediment load and less runoff than existing conditions.
In addition, the proposed design and ultimate construction shall comply with Chapter 10 of the
City of Fort Collins code in regards to Flood Prevention and Protection.
We understand that review by the City of Fort Collins is to assure general compliance with
standardized criteria contained in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM). This
letter was prepared in compliance with technical criteria set forth in both the Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual and the FCSCM.
If you should have any questions or comments as you review this drainage summary, please

Drainage Summary
401 South Mason Street
Fort Collins, CO
• Improvements being made within the floodway will be constructed at or slightly
below existing grades.
The following requirements shall be met regarding the design and construction of the
proposed mixed -use building:
• All flood proofing measures shall adhere to Section 10-38 of the City Code and
the requirements set forth within the City's "Floodproofing Guidelines". A Post -
Construction Flood Proofing Certificate will be required prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy.
• All development within the city regulatory floodplain must be preceded by an
approved floodplain use permit and applicable fees.
• All development within the city regulatory floodway must be preceded by an
approved no -rise certification followed by re -certification of no -rise in the as -
built condition.
The following table summarizes the floodproofing elevation requirements to be met
during construction:
Description
Elevation
(NAVD-88)
City Base Flood Elevation (BFE)*

Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE)
4998.43

Flood Proofing Elevation

HVAC Equipment Elevation (In Floodproofed Basement)
4985.78
*Information provided in the above table is based upon the
interpolated BFE located at the northwest corner of the proposed
building.
Detention Requirements
Per communication with City personnel, the site has historically paid fees for 100%
imperviousness. As the existing site currently has an approximate imperviousness of
approximately 88%, City personnel have indicated that the development may request a
variance to the detention requirement for the site. This variance request is being
requested with this PDP Submittal and the site currently does not provide onsite
detention.
Water Quality Requirements
The site is located within the Udall Natural Area which provides water quality for the
site; and therefore, additional water quality is not required. However, the development
is currently proposing to provide approximately 970 sf of green roof which will provide
additional water quality for the site.

Existing Conditions
Drainage Summary
401 South Mason Street
Fort Collins, CO
Hydrology
The site (Basin Al), which is located within the Old Town Basin, currently consists of an
existing one-story building, parking area, and a small landscape area with an existing
percent -imperviousness of approximately 88%. Storm runoff from the site currently
drains towards Magnolia and Mason Streets where runoff is intercepted by existing
storm sewer inlets and piping located within Mason Street. Refer to Appendix A for
additional information.
Floodplain
The site is located within the City -regulatory Old Town Basin 100-year floodway, flood
fringe, and moderate risk flood fringe. The Old Town Master Plan was approved July
15, 2003. The site is not located within a FEMA floodplain or floodway. Refer to
Appendix C for the Drainage Exhibit and FEMA FIRM panel.
Developed Conditions
Hydrology
The developed site of 2,830 sf will be entirely covered by the proposed building
footprint. The rooftop is currently being proposed to provide approximately 970 sf of
green roof which results in a proposed percent -imperviousness for the site (Basin Al) of
approximately 60%. Existing drainage patterns are being preserved with the proposed
development and water from the site will be directed from the rooftop to the existing
storm sewer system located with Mason Street. Refer to Appendix A for additional
information.
Floodplain
The site is located within the City -regulatory Old Town Basin 100-year floodway, flood
fringe, and moderate risk flood fringe. The following design elements are being
proposed with the development:
• The proposed non-residential building (having no residential component) will be
located outside of the floodway and is more specifically located approximately
6-feet south and 4.5-feet west of the floodway boundaries.
• The development team is currently proposing to flood proof the proposed
building in lieu of raising the finished floor 18-inches.above the Base Flood
Elevation (BFE). Refer to the Drainage Exhibit and architectural plans for
additional information regarding the building flood proof design.
• The building construction will include a basement with concrete caisson
foundations. Refer to the Drainage Exhibit for a typical cross section detail of
the footing design.

401 South Mason Street
Fort Collins, CO
United Civil Design Group, LLC. is pleased to submit this Preliminary Drainage Summary for the
401 South Mason Street site in Fort Collins, Colorado. In general, this summary serves to
document the stormwater impacts associated with the proposed 401 South Mason Street
project.
Site Location and Project Description
The development site (referred herein as "the site") is located at 401 South Mason Street in
