The City of Fort Collins learned this week that some of the floodplain modeling in
the vicinity of your site may be incorrect. The irrigation check structure in Fossil
Creek is 1.6 ft. higher than previously thought. It is expected that this will raise
the flood elevation on this site, but it is not known by how much. We will not
require Discount Tire to change their building elevation. However, we want
Discount Tire to be aware of this issue and they may want to consider raising
their building to give themselves additional freeboard in order to protect the
building from flood damages.
This information was found when the City's Parks department was doing survey
work for the future trail. Stormwater will be working with the Parks department
over the next several months to revise the floodplain modeling and also see if
there is any mitigation that can take place as part of the trail design.
