comments.
5. Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility offered the following
comments:
a. The site is located within the Spring Creek and Poudre River Basins;
therefore, only the portion in Spring Creek has a new development fee
of $2,175 per acre and that is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction.
b. The standard drainage and erosion control reports and plans are
required and they must be prepared by a professional engineer
registered in the State of Colorado.
c. Water quality measures need to be addressed and extended detention
is the recommended method. Other best management practices are
encouraged.
d. The site is in the Poudre River floodplain, which is being modified. Any
construction would have to meet the floodplain regulations until the
FEMA map is revised. The schedule presently is to submit to FEMA by
the end of 1998. FEMA then has up to 90 days to review and reply to
the map revision. No construction work is allowed in the "floodway"
and no building permits are allowed until FEMA approves the map
revision.
e. There is also the 500 cfs (+/-) that enters the west side of the site. The
City has an easement to pass this flow through the lakes and discharge
into Spring Creek at 40 cfs (+/-). This conveyance and detention system
needs to remain but can be modified.
f. The modeling needs to be set up on a SWMM model. The balancing of
pond volumes will require Extran modeling.
Please contact Glen, at 221-6065, if you have questions about these
comments.

Doug Martine, at 221-6700, to discuss any possible options.
Please contact Monica, at 221-6700, if you have questions about these
comments.
4. Roger Buffington of the WaterAVastewater Department offered the
following comments:

main in Timberline Road. Roger is not sure of the exact locations for
these utilities.
b. There is a repay for the 24" water main in Timberline Road that this

uses (but not commercial) from this restriction.

comments.
2. Sheri Wamhoff of the Engineering Department offered the following

purpose of determining what is needed in the TIS.
