2. In the Old Town drainage basin a drainage report and
construction plans are required if there is an increase in
imperviousness greater than 5,000 square feet. They would
need to be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in
Colorado.
3. If there is 5,000 square feet or less of new imperviousness,
water quantity detention is not required nor is water quality
extended detention. When on -site detention is required the -
release rate would be the 2-year historic for water quantity and
extended detention would be required for water quality
treatment. Parking lot detention is allowed as long as it is not
deeper than one foot. If there is an increase in imperviousness
greater than 350 square feet, but less than 5,000 square feet, a
grading plan is all that is required. If it can be shown that the
total imperviousness, including one-half any adjacent streets or
alleys, is equal to or less that" the master plan imperviousness,
the report and detention requirements are waived, but a grading
plan is still required.
