process for selecting structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage
facilities need to be prepared by the drainage engineer and there is a final site inspection required when
the project is complete and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance
organization. The erosion control requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria Section 1.3.3. If
you need clarification concerning this section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse
Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com.

(http://www.udfcd.org/downloads/down_critmanual_volill.htm) Extended detention is the usual method
selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
4. The drainage outfall for the site is to the south through Linden Park PDP. The design engineer will need
to verify capacity in that system but it should have enough capacity for 2 yr. detained flows since it
presently is sized for existing100 yr. flows from offsite.
5. The Stormwater Utility anticipates that City Council will be approving new Low Impact Development (LID)
requirements in late January 2013. Please contact Basil Hamdan at 224-6035 or bhamdan@fcgov.com

an LID method and 25% of new parking lots must be pervious.
6. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious
area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for
existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued.

contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow
required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is

Re: 6111 S Timberline Rd - The Crowne on Timberline Multifamily
Description of project: This is a request to construct 300 multifamily units consisting of 25 townhomes and
275 stacked flats at 6111 S Timberline Road. The multifamily complex will be situated on the Medium Density
Mixed -Use Neighborhood District (M-M-N) portion of parcel# 8607400010. As the project contains 50+
multifamily units, it is subject to Planning & Zoning Board (Type 2) review.
Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referrenced 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, Seth Lorson, at 970-224-6189 or slorson@fcgov.com.
