Box 580 • Fort Collins, O 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020 Stormwater Utility Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6700, gschlueter@fcgov.com 1. This site is in the Old Town drainage basin where the new development fee is $4,150.00/acre which 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. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. In the Old Town drainage basin these are required if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 5000 square feet. 3. 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 nor is water quality extended detention. 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. If it can be shown that the total imperviousness, including one-half any adjacent streets or alleys, is equal to or less that the masterplan imperviousness of 55%, the report and detention requirements are waived, but a grading plan is still required. 4. There is a storm sewer in Myrtle if a lower outfall is needed for drainage. This would be helpful if onsite detention is required since the pond could be deeper and not use up as much land area. 5. The Floodplain Comments: -The front portion of this lot is in the Old Town 100-year floodplain. The existing garage is out of the floodplain, however, the new structure appears to be larger than the garage and extends further south onto the lot and possibly into the floodplain. The first step would be to verify if the structure is in the floodplain by plotting the floodplain limits on the site plan. - If the structure encroaches into the floodplain then the following floodplain regulations will apply based on the assumption that this is a residential use. - The lowest floor of the structure and all HVAC must be elevated 18 inches above the 100-year water surface elevation. - No new basements are allowed in residential structures. - No critical facilities are allowed in the 100-year floodplain. - A Floodplain Use permit ($25) is required for any work (including the proposed stoop on the existing structure) in the floodplain. - A completed and approved Elevation Certificate is required for structures in the floodplain prior to the release of the CO. Floodplain Administrator contact: Marsha Hilmes-Robinson, 224-6036 Water Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. Existing mains: 4-inch water and 18-inch sewer in Myrtle; 8-inch sewer in alley to north. 2. Since the building will not be classified as a dwelling unit, water and sewer service may be extended from the house. Location of existing sewer service should be check to determine if there will be a conflict with the proposed building footprint. Additional paperwork will be required prior to building 281 North College Avenue e P.O.
