which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The fee is
to be paid at the time of issuance of building permits and is
only charged if there is an increase in imperviousness
greater than 350 square feet.
b. The site is on Stormwater Inventory Map #8Q. A copy of the
map can be obtained from the Utility Service Center at 700
Wood Street.
C. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000
square feet then the standard drainage and erosion control
report and construction plans are required and they must be
prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State of
Colorado. A grading plan is required when there is between
350 and 1,000 square feet of new imperviousness, but no
drainage study. There arc no requirements for less than 350
square feet of new imperviousness.
d. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000
square feet, in the McClelland's/Mail Creek Drainage Basin
on -site detention is required, with a 0.2 cfs/acre release rate
for the 10-year storm and a 0.5 cfs/acre release rate for the
100-year storm.
e. When State Farm Insurance was in the building they came
to the City Stormwater Utility with a groundwater problem
and said that the interior floor slab was sinking. They were
talking about installing a cross pan on Fairway Lane to
direct water to the south instead of continuing to drain to
the east onto the Fairway Estates borrow ditch system. The
existing detention pond is considered an on-line pond singe
properties to the north drain through the pond, so there can
be a lot of run-off passing through the site. This may also
add to the groundwater issues. That was the choice of the
design engineer for State Farm'Insurance..There was also a
downspout at the southeast corner of the building that was
discharging into the landscaping that was going to be
modified to mitigate groundwater issues.
Please contact Glen, at (970)224-6065, if you have questions about
these comments.
