Basin Master Plans which includes the floodplains. Therefore the proposed floodplain
modifications need to be modeled in enough detail to show that the ODP site uses in their
proposed locations still allow the safe passage of the Boxelder flows through the site
without a negative affect (no -rise) on other properties. The modeling of the floodplain is
part of the required drainage study.
3. Project note #8. The existing contours should be based off of the City's vertical datum,
not the USGS vertical datum. Please see the August 12, 1998 memo from Wally
Muscott, City Surveyor, concerning the City's vertical datum and the benchmarks and
corresponding elevations. The City's datum is based on NGVD 1929 without the 1984
adjustment. It is critical for any information used for floodplain purposes to be on the
City's vertical datum. Please review and revise the existing topography and the note to
be based on the City's datum.
4. Please list the benchmark number and elevation that was used for surveying.
5. Many of the Project Notes are not accurate concerning the floodplain:
• #4 states that there are no "No floodplains or Floodways on the site". This is
incorrect. The site is in the Boxelder Creek Floodplain. See comment #1 above.
• #25 is misleading and inaccurate. Again, the site is in the Boxelder Creek
Floodplain. See comment #1 above. Please have this comment read: " The
property is entirely within a floodplain. The no -rise requirement is to be met as
part of the PDP. A hydraulic analysis by a professional engineer will be required
for all changes (fill, construction of buildings, culverts, channels, etc.) to the
existing site."
1. Please add the following notes to the plan. These notes are all based on previous
comments.
2. Any residential structures (this includes the proposed hotels) in the floodplain must have
the lowest floor including basement or crawl space elevated 18" above the 100-year flood
level.
• Any non-residential structures in the floodplain must either have the lowest floor
including basement or crawl space elevated 18" above the 100-year flood level or be
floodproofed 18" above the 100-year flood level.
• Critical facilities (including the proposed gas station) are not allowed to be built in the
100-year floodplain. To remove this site from the floodplain, the pumps, valves,
manholes to tanks, etc. would have to be elevated 18" above the flood level, similar to a
structure. Please see Chapter 10 of City Code for the definition of critical facilities.
A floodplain use permit and $25 permit fee will be required for each structure that is built in
the floodplain. To obtain a CO, an elevation certificate or floodproofmg certificate will be
required to be submitted and approved.

2. Replace Note 30 on the plan with two separate notes distinguishing between
residential and non-residential uses.
• Any residential structures (this includes the proposed hotels) in the floodplain
must have the lowest floor including basement or crawl space elevated 18" above
the 100-year flood level.
• Any non-residential structures in the floodplain must either have the lowest floor
including basement or crawl space elevated 18" above the 100-year flood level or
be floodproofed 18" above the 100-year flood level.
3. The hydraulic modeling has not been reviewed in detail. A full review will take place
at time of PDP when more detailed site information is available. Site layout and
sizing of the drainage channel may change based on further analysis.
4. The no -rise criteria applies at all property boundaries, not just Prospect Road. Please
make sure this is clearly stated in the report.
5. The Boxelder floodway will be made public soon. If a berm is proposed to protect the
existing structure you will have to prove no -rise to the floodway elevation.
6. The Boxelder/Cooper Slough Recommended Selected Plan is complete. At this time
there are no improvements in the plan which will remove this property from the
Boxelder floodplain. We encourage the owner to participate in the public review of
this master plan. There is a scheduled open house on April 3, 5-7 p.m. at the Holiday

The response to the comment concerning the floodplain is not appropriate. Michael B.
Smith, Utilities General Manager, has adopted the revised Boxelder Creek Master Plan.
The new floodplain map is based on the rainfall standard adopted by City Council in
1999. There is no intention by City staff to change the floodplain mapping since it is
based on the currently adopted rainfall standard. Based on City Code Section 10-20b, this
development must comply with all of the floodplain regulations. Please acknowledge
this floodplain and that the development will comply with the adopted floodplain
regulations.
2. Under the LUC section 2.3.2 (H), (6) & (7) which are part of the "ODP Review

Please describe in the report the outfall for this site from the property to the location where the outfall can be described

1. This property is located/threcently mapped Boxelder Creek floodplain. Please see the attached Floodplain
Review Checklist for inforis required on the plat, drainage and grading plans, and in the drainage report.
2. Because a floodway isd, the floodplain is considered "no -rise". This means that you can not cause a rise
in the flood level off of your property without obtaining easements from affected property owners.
3. In order to show q rise, you will need to convey the flows through your site and mitigate for any fill, buildings, etc.
that are built in the fodplain. It may be possible to install a culvert at Prospect Road, construct a channel or channels
through the site and then construct another culvert on the south side of the project at the frontage road. Other options
may also be possible.
4. Any changes that are made to the floodplain (fill, construction of buildings, culverts, channels, etc.) will need to be
modeled by a registered professional engineer to document no -rise. Please see the attached floodplain modeling
guidelines for the requirements. A $300 fee is required if hydraulic modeling is necessary.
5. Any residential structures (this includes the proposed hotels) in the floodplain must have the lowest floor including
basement or crawl space elevated 18" above the 100-year flood level.
6. Any non-residential structures in the floodplain must either have the lowest floor including basement or crawl space
elevated 18" above the 100-year flood level or be floodproofed 18" above the 100-year flood level. Please refer to the
gold handout that was previously given to the applicant regarding floodproofing requirements.
7. Critical facilities (including the proposed gas station) are not allowed to be built in the 100-year floodplain. To remove
this site from the floodplain, the pumps, valves, manholes to tanks, etc. would have to be elevated 18" above the flood
level, similar to a structure. Please see Chapter 10 of City Code for the definition of critical facilities.

A drainage study is required as part of the submittal requirements. The previously submitted
"Conceptual Storm Drainage Report" addresses in general terms the onsite drainage plan,
except that it needs to be revised to match the latest ODP layout. It also does not address the
offsite flows onto the site nor how these flows are routed through the site and back into the
existing flow path. There is approximately 3900 cfs in the 100-year event that passes
through. If channelization is proposed the downstream and maybe the upstream landowners
may need to be involved to make a channel possible. Also the report does not address the
outfall system for the proposed detention/water quality pond. The runoff path needs to be
analyzed four the site to a "natural drainageway" and all needed improvements and
easements should be identified.

Section 4.3.3(A). The TIS is a Master TIS and the project will be required to submit new
transportation studies during the PDP applications.
b. The Prospect Road/northbound Interstate 25 ramp currently has unacceptable operation and
the Adequate Public Facilities (APF) requirements will come into play in the future when a
PDP is submitted.

the southeast frontage road to the east.
