in the final landscaping to cover the soil. Re -seeded areas should be mulched
with straw or hay to protect exposed soil until vegetation is established.
'
Controlled Runoff Across Exposed Areas: Where practical, construction may
include constructing temporary swales to intercept and direct storm water
around exposed areas. Swales can be constructed to control surface water,
which collects on exposed areas and prevent gross erosion in the form of
gullies. Riprap, straw bale dikes, or other temporary erosion control devices
'
may be installed to control storm water velocities across exposed areas.
Sediment Control: Temporary and/or permanent sediment control devices
'
may be installed at the major drainage structures and flow concentration
points shown on the Drainage Exhibit. Such structures shall be used to
intercept and trap sediment once it is produced and prevent it from being
M
conveyed offsite onto downstream property.
C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
'
The following summarizes the overall erosion control plan for this project.
The details will be shown on the construction drawings.
1. Inlet protection will be used on the detention pond outlet box.
2. Other erosion control measures will be used as necessary to help minimize
erosion for this project such as vehicle tracking control and silt fence.

pond is 0.27 cfs (0.39 cfs historical release minus 0.12 cfs of undetained
runoff). The top of berm is at elevation 5087 with the 100-year water surface
f elevation at elevation 5086.69. The outlet structure will be designed with an
orifice plate to limit the flows to the release rate. The outlet pipe will be sized
for the entire developed 100-year flow. The outlet level spreader design is
shown in the Appendix.
The difference between the 100-year developed and historic runoff for
I Subbasin B is 0.01 cfs. This difference assumes that the driveway from the
proposed right-of-way to West Elizabeth Street will be paved in the future.
Because of the negligible difference in 100-year runoff, no detention is being
proposed for Subbasin B.
f A water quality plate is being proposed for this development, and the required
water quality volume is included as part of the total required detention pond
volume.
VII. Erosion and Sediment Control
This section describes methods recommended to control wind erosion, soil
erosion, and sediment from storm runoff during and after the construction of
drainage structures, and site grading. This development of erosion control
criteria establishes the methods and guidelines used to perform the erosion
analysis and develop the erosion control plan.
A. Discussion
' The clearing and stripping of land for site grading, overlot grading, or for the
construction of drainage structures, and swales, may cause high -localized
' erosion rates with subsequent deposition and damage to offsite properties.
Uncontrolled, such erosion could destroy the aesthetic and practical values of
individual sites, and cause damage to downstream property.
In general, erosion and sediment control measures may consist of minimizing
soil exposure, controlled runoff across exposed areas, and sediment control at
' drainage structures. Each of these measures is described below and shall be
utilized by the developer and/or the contractor during any construction activity
occurring at this site.
B. General Erosion and Sediment Control Measures
o Minimizing Soil Exposure: Where practical, the construction area and
duration of soil exposure should be kept to a minimum. All other areas should
have a good cover of vegetation or mulch. Grading should be completed as
soon as possible after it is begun. A temporary cover crop, a permanent
vegetative cover crop, or other landscaping should be established in disturbed
areas. Re -vegetation may consist of native grasses, lawn grasses, or various
winter wheat. Decorative rock, flower gardens, or shrubs may also be utilized
Subbasin C
Subbasin C is undetained runoff around the perimeter of Subbasin A. The
100-year developed runoff will be subtracted from the release rate.
B. Specific Details
The Final Grading and Drainage Report for Jefferson Commons PUD states
that the 100-year peak discharge for Gutter 130 is 9 cfs and the total area for
Basin 60 is 1.501 acres. The northern portion of this site is part of Basin 60.
Therefore, based on the paved and rooftop areas for all area in Basin 60, we
estimated the historic release from this site as 0.39 cfs. The calculations are
shown in the Appendix. 0.39 cfs minus undetained runoff was used as the
release rate for the detention pond. The spreader design that distributes this
flow is also shown in the Appendix.
There is no storm pipe proposed for this site except for the outlet and pipe
from the building to the pond. There is an existing storm pipe underneath the
existing gravel driveway access to West Elizabeth Street. Because West
Elizabeth Street will be widened in the near future, we are not proposing to
pave from the proposed right-of-way to the northern existing edge -of -asphalt
of West Elizabeth Street. Therefore, this existing storm pipe will not be
replaced as part of this project
V. Request for Variance
This report is a formal request for a variance from the standards noted in the
City of Fort Collins' Strom Drainage Design Criteria and Construction
Standards concerning the required detention pond freeboard. Specifically, the
request is for a variance from the minimum 1.0-foot freeboard requirement.
This request is made because the detention pond was sized as large as possible
t and the developed 100-year runoff to the pond is minimal (less than 2 cfs).
The calculated freeboard is 0.31 feet
VI. Conclusions
A. Compliance with Standards
All storm drainage calculations followed the guidelines provided by the City
of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria except for detention freeboard
requirements.
B. Drainage Concept
The drainage system has been designed to convey the runoff to the designated
detention pond in a manner as safe as possible. The detention pond will be
designed to hold approximately 888 cubic feet plus an additional 201 cubic
feet for water quality for a total of 1,089 cubic feet. The release rate of the
' areas in Jefferson Commons are labeled as utility, public access, and drainage
easements on the final plat. The grass swale and landscaped area along the
' western and southern Jefferson Commons property boundaries are labeled as a
drainage and utility easements.
The capacity of the detention pond will include the contribution of the 100-
year runoff produced by the northern Subbasins (Al and A2). The release rate
for the ponds will be the 0.39 cfs minus 100-year developed undetained
runoff. The 0.39 cfs release is described below under "Specific Details."
The runoff generated by the site will be conveyed by swales, pans, and the
' parking lot to the pond.
IV. Drainage Facility Design
' A. General Concept
There is one proposed detention pond in the development that runoff will be
conveyed to. The runoff will be released at a predetermined rate to the north.
There are two additional proposed subbasins that will not be detained.
In the existing condition, the site consists of Subbasin A and B. Subbasin A is
the northern subbasin that historically directs runoff northeasterly towards
Jefferson Commons. Subbasin B is the southern subbasin that directs runoff
southeasterly to West Elizabeth Street. There is a small ditch located near the
southern property boundary that may also collect flows from Subbasin B.
With the development of Jefferson Commons, the outfall for this ditch appears
to be West Elizabeth Street and a 15-inch storm pipe located in the southwest
comer of Jefferson Commons.
The four proposed subbasins will include the following:
' Subbasins Al and A2
Subbasins Al and A2 consists rooftop, pavement, and landscape. The runoff
from these two subbasins are directed to a detention pond located near the
northern property boundary. The detained runoff will be released at a
predetermined rate, as explained below under "Specific Details."
Subbasin B
Subbasin B consists rooftop, pavement, and landscape. Runoff is directed
southeasterly to West Elizabeth Street. Subbasin B is not detained, however,
the area has been reduced so that the difference in developed and historic 100-
year runoff is only 0.01 cfs.
IB. Sub -Basin Description
' As mentioned above, the drainage for the site is split (approximately at the
location of the residence) and flows are directed northeasterly to Jefferson
Commons PUD or southeasterly to West Elizabeth Street. There appears to
' be no offsite runoff onto the site itself except for the flows from West
Elizabeth Street and portions of the lots north of West Elizabeth Street. The
., offsite flows do no effect the proposed detention pond.
■ In the developed condition, there will be one onsite detention pond that
detains runoff from the northern portion of the site. The onsite subbasin
' contributing runoff to the pond consists of ground covered by rooftop,
pavement, and landscape. The onsite runoff will be conveyed through the site
to the detention pond and to a concrete outlet structure that releases detained
runoff through an orifice plate and a level spreader. The level spreader will
evenly distribute the runoff northerly to Jefferson Commons PUD as sheet
flow.
III. Drainage Design Criteria
A. Regulations
The design criteria for this study are directly from the City of Fort Collins
Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards Manual.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
' The developed site will convey runoff to the detention pond and West
Elizabeth Street in a safe and effective manner.
C. Hydrological Criteria
In accordance with the Fort Collins policy, a minor and major storm for the
Fort Collins area is identified as the 2-year and 100-year storms, respectively.
A major storm for the Fort Collins area has a recurrence interval of 100 years
and a total rainfall depth of 3.67 inches for a 2-hour design storm, with a peak
intensity of 9.95 in/hr.
These storms have been used as a basis for planning and system design. The
peak flow rates for design points have been calculated based on the rational
method as described in the Storm Drainage Design Criteria with storm
duration set equal to the time of concentration for each subbasin.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
The runoff produced by the site will be conveyed to the proposed detention
pond within the development. The pond will outfall to northerly towards
Jefferson Commons. As mentioned above, the parking lots and driveway

I. General Location and Description
A. Location
The 2300 West Elizabeth site is located in the South Half of the Northeast
Quarter of Section 16, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., the
County of Larimer, State of Colorado. The site is bounded on the north by
Jefferson Commons PUD, on the east and west by private residences, and on
the south by West Elizabeth Street.
B. Description of Property
The site consists of approximately 0.34 acres and contains an existing
residence, garage, and shed and a gravel driveway. Historically, the drainage
for the site is split (approximately at the location of the residence) and flows
are directed northeasterly to Jefferson Commons PUD at about 2% slope and
southeasterly to West Elizabeth Street at about 1.4% slope. As part of this
project, the garage and shed will be removed and an additional building with
paved parking will be added.
H. Drainage Basins and Sub -Basins
A. Major Basins Description
The north portion of the site has been included in the Final Grading and
Drainage Report for Jefferson Commons PUD by Ayres & Associates, Inc.
According to this Report, the site was located in the West Plum Street Basin
(1995). The site is currently located in the Canal Importation Basin.
According to the Final Plat for Jefferson Commons PUD, the parking lots and
driveway areas are labeled as utility, public access, and drainage easements.
The landscaped area along the western and southern Jefferson Commons PUD
property boundaries are labeled as a drainage and utility easements.
There is an existing ditch that runs west -east along the north side of West
Elizabeth, or along the southern property boundary of this site. It is our
understanding this irrigation ditch is no longer utilized by upstream interests
and will not be maintained as part of this project. There is also a 15-inch
storm located east of the residence adjacent to this site. According to the
Final Grading and Drainage Report for Jefferson Commons PUD, this 15-
inch storm was designed to direct a portion of stormwater runoff from West
Elizabeth Street and portions of the lots north of West Elizabeth Street (refer
to the references in the Appendix) to the central detention pond in Jefferson
Commons. Based on the flow stated in the report, we calculated that this
storm sewer does not have additional capacity for runoff. We have therefore
minimized the additional runoff to this storm pipe (only 0.01 cfs increase for
the 100-year storm).
