1. It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements
and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and
proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the
time fees are calculated for each building permit.
2. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 1000 square feet a drainage
report, erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be
prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must
address the four -step process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating
procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities need to be prepared by the
drainage engineer. If there is less than 1,000 square feet of new impervious area on an
existing development, a drainage letter along with a grading plan should be sufficient to
document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. If there is less than 1,000 but
more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control
plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set.
3. When improvements are proposed to an existing developed site and there is an
increase in impervious area greater than 1000 square feet, onsite detention is required
with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water
quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 1000 but
more than 350 square feet of new impervious area, a site grading plan is required along
with the impervious area documentation.
4. If the site is required to meet present Land Use Code requirements, onsite water quality
treatment of the runoff is required. Water quality treatment methods are described in the
Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices (BMPs). A
method that could be used on an existing site is to direct the downspouts to a landscape
area. Another is if perimeter landscape buffers or parking lot medians are required,
they could be used to treat the runoff in bio-retention areas or rain gardens.

del i nes-reg u lations/stormwater-criteria)
5. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required when the impervious area is
increased or a site is required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code.
These require a higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new impervious
area and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. Information can be found on the
EPA web site at: http://water.epa.govlpolwaste/green/bbfs.cfm?

Re: LifePointe Church - Wireless Telecommunications Equipment
Description of project: This is a request to place wireless antennas on LifePointe Church
(parcel #9713408933). The antennas will be concealed behind screening that will match
the building fagade. This proposal also calls for building a shelter on the ground. The site
is located in the Low Density Residential (RL) zone district. This project will be subject to
Planning & Zoning Board (Type II) review.
Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referenced
above. The comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will assist you
in preparing the detailed components of the project application. Modifications and additions
to these comments may be made at the time of formal review of this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review process, you may contact
the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Jason Holland,

the building.
