A. General Concept
The Northgate Commons P.U.D. lies within the Moderate Rainfall Erodibility
Zone and the Moderate Wind Erodibility Zone per the City of Fort Collins zone
maps. Per the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual for
Construction Sites, at the time of final design of the site, the erosion control
performance standard will need to be calculated and appropriate measures taken to
control erosion from the site. -- --
�'; All construction activities must also comply with the State of Colorado permitting
process for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. A
Colorado Department of Health NPDES Permit will be required before any
construction grading can begin within.this development.
VIE. CONCLUSIONS
' A. Compliance with Standards
All computations within this report have been completed in compliance with the
City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria. The owners of the Northgate
Commons P.U.D. will need to maintain their on -site storm drainage facilities on
a regular basis.
B. Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage concepts adequately provide for the transmission of
developed on -site runoff to the two proposed detention ponds. The sizes, location
and release rates of each pond will allow the Northgate Commons P.U.D. to
develop in conformance with the Greenbriar-Evergreen Basin Master Planning
concepts, once approved by the City of Fort Collins. Each of the on -site ponds
' shall provide one foot of freeboard and an emergency overflow outlet in the event
the outlet becomes plugged.
C. Storm Water Quality
I The wetlands area proposed within the on -site detention pond is an excellent way
to allow storm water pollutants an opportunity to be filtered out of the storm water
as the pollutants are carried by the storm water across the site. Periodic
maintenance may be required to remove sediment deposits as they accumulate in
the main on -site detention pond.
6
Preliminary First Filing Development
The first phase of the Northgate Commons P.U.D. will include the construction
of both Ponds 1S and 1N. The storm .water runoff from the site will reach these
ponds by several methods, i.e. grass swales, pipe; curb cuts, cross pans etc. There
will be a partial storm drainage system built to drain the developed Phase 1 into
Pond 1S. A temporary swale along the north pavement limit of Phase 1 will divert
I1I the upstream runoff into Pond 1S as well.
— ----- --The storm drain system is-being-proposed-with-Phase-1—Inlets-will-be-located-in
l the parking areas and storm drain pipes will convey runoff to the detention area.
These inlets and storm drain will be sized at the time of final design.
A. General Concept
The State of Colorado requires Stormwater Management Plans as part of their
permit process. The Northgate Commons P.U.D. site development is anticipating
construction beginning in the Spring of 1998. Therefore for this study, we have
sought to find various Best Management Practices for the treatment of storm water
runoff at this preliminary design phase which could be implemented in the final
design process.
B. Specific Details
It is our understanding at this preliminary phase, that the concept of storm water
quality should address the treatment of the initial first flush runoff. By capturing
the initial first flush runoff, the pollutants can be filtered out of the storm water
runoff.
The Northgate Commons P.U.D. is being proposed with a wetlands area within the
on -site detention ponds. This wetlands area will serve many purposes. Because
the area is held flat, the runoff will be slowed down in these areas and this will
allow pollutants and other transported materials to be filtered out. In addition, the
wetlands native grass species also "treat" the polluted runoff water and allow for
a much cleaner discharge from the Northgate Commons P.U.D. Because water
quality is of such importance, we are not proposing to construct concrete trickle
pans in the bottom of any drainage areas.

most current SWMM model.
B. Specific Details
IOverall Site Development
Per the Greenbriar-Evergreen Basin Master Drainage Plan, the Northgate
Commons site must have on -site detention. The Master Plan showed one pond
- ----- within-the-Northgate-Commons-site-which-releases-13-8-cfs.- This -one -pond was_—
'� proposed to have a storage capacity of 15.5 ac-ft.
The Overall Drainage Plan for the Northgate Commons P.U.D. includes utilizing
proposed permanent pool ponds within the site for retention. Additional volume
above the permanent pools will be provided within these ponds which allow for the
permanent detention of the 100-year runoff for the drainage area which drains to
it. There will however, be an emergency overflow provided for this pond along
'I Willox Lane. Based on grading and wetland requirements, the original design
proposing one pond will need to be revised to incorporate two ponds. This has
been shown on the Overall Drainage Plan for the Northgate Commons P.U.D.
Pond 1N will be located in the north portion of this site. This pond will outlet
through weir wall structure into the lower Pond 1S. Once an approved copy of the
Master Plan is available, the release rate will be adjusted based on the proportional
tributary area and the original release from Regional Pond 6. This pond will has
been proposed with minimum volume as indicated on the Overall Drainage Plan.
Pond 1S will be located in the south portion of this site. This pond will outlet
'! through an orifice controlled pipe, and discharge into an existing off -site storm
drain. This pond, as well, will need to be revised once the Master.Plan is
completed. The volume required for this pond has been shown on the Overall
Drainage Plan for Northgate Commons P.U.D.
Both ponds will contain wetlands area which will help filter out pollutants from the
site. The limits of these wetlands were developed by the planner for this project,
based on an analysis by a private wetlands consultants.
The City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility has requested that a SWMM Model
Update be submitted once the Master Plan has been finalized for the Greenbriar-
Evergreen Basin. The SWMM Model is a conservative approach to ensure all
detention ponds within the City of Fort Collins have sufficient capacity.

On -site runoff within Northgate Commons P.U.D. was calculated using the
rational method.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
All calculations within this study have been prepared in accordance with the City
of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and are included in the appendix.
E. Variances from Criteria
No variances from the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria are being
sought for this project.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY
A. General Concept
As development occurs within the Northgate Commons P.U.D., the drainage
concepts shown on the Overall Drainage Plan in the back pocket of this report
should be followed. At final design, the Greenbriar-Evergreen Basin Master Plan
will be revisited and revised to reflect the split of Basin 6, effectively creating two
Cponds, with two releases, as opposed to one. There are two ponds shown within
the site to handle the stormwater runoff. Both of these ponds contain wetlands,
investigated by a private consultant, Theodore Boss. Also planned are several
permanent wet ponds which will be fed by a source as yet to be. determined. Water
in this pond will be utilized for irrigating the site and to create an aesthetic
drainage feature within the development. The permanent wet ponds will need to
be sized in excess of the required amount of permanent water storage to allow for
the periodic inflows of stormwater and the ultimate inflow of the 100 year storm.
On -site stormwater will be conveyed to the two on -site ponds through the use of
storm drain pipes, inlets, curb cuts and cross pans.
In the future, when the SWMM model is updated, Basin 6 will be revised to match
proposed developed conditions. This will include revising Basin 6 into two areas
to match proposed site layout, removing Pond 6 from the model, and replacing it
with detention pond rating curves for Ponds IN and 1S within the Northgate
Commons P.U.D. Pond 6 was previously master planned with a release rate of
13.8 cfs. Because of the changes in tributary area, the creation of two ponds, the
peak release rates for each pond will be proportional to the respective tributary
area. However, the peak combined release rate from the two ponds still must not
not exceed the Maximum Release Rate from Basin 6 per the Greenbriar-Evergreen
Basin Master Drainage Plan.

B. Sub -Basin Description
�j Historic drainage patterns on the subject site are in a easterly direction. Flows are
' proposed to drain into Detention Pond 6 and then be released at a .planned rate into
an existing curb inlet along Willox Lane. When the Northgate Commons P.U.D.
site is developed, off -site flows will be conveyed via curb & gutter and on -site
,I storm drains to the pond. There are two storm drains proposed, one with Phase
1 and one with Phase 2. With the development of Phase 1, a temporary swale will
be constructed along the north pavement line of the phase to drain undeveloped
—----- flows -into -the-detention-pond-area.—Per-the-Master_Drainage_P-lan,_Northgate
�i Commons P.U.D will receive off -site flows from runoff from properties north and
east of the site, on the opposite side of the Larimer and Weld Canal.
A. Regulations
The City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria is being used for the
subject site.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The most current report on the Greenbriar-Evergreen Basin Master Plan is being
utilized in this Overall Drainage Study. As can be seen from the Drainage Master
Plan report (See Appendix), 1 detention pond was planned for Basin 6, within
which the entire Northgate Commons P.U.D. resides. This pond, labeled as Pond
6 is to be located entirely within the Northgate Commons P.U.D. Due to
topographical relief, existing wetlands and to the desires of the developer, it will
be necessary to split Pond 6 so that it can effectively detain the entire developed
basin runoff. These ponds will be sized to accept runoff from the entire 27.33
acres of Northgate Commons P.U.D., as well as all planned off -site flows.
C. Hydrologic Criteria
The SWMM hydrologic model was previously used in the Greenbriar-Evergreen
Basin Master Plan. The Overall Drainage Design and Phase 1 Preliminary
Drainage Design for the Northgate Commons P.U.D. are based on the May 1996
version of the Master Drainage Plan. This SWMM model will need to be updated
based on further design of Northgate Commons P.U.D. and also based on the
finalization of the Master Plan itself. No copy of the SWMM model was available
at the time of the submittal.
OVERALL DRAINAGE STUDY AND
PHASE I PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE STUDY
FOR THE NORTHGATE COMMONS P.U.D.
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The Northgate Commons P.U.D. site is located north of Willox Lane and east of
North College Avenue in northern Fort Collins, Colorado. The site is shown on
the Vicinity Map in the Appendix. More particularly, the site is situated in the
southwest quarter of Section 36, Township 8 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth
P.M., City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado.
B. Description of Property
The entire Northgate Commons site resides on 27.33 acres of land, more or less,
most of which all of the area is currently undeveloped and being proposed for a
commercial and retail plaza. The majority of the property currently consists of
' native grassland, with some evidence of prior farming. Topography at the site is
generally sloping from west to east at approximately 0.45 %.
' The Larimer and Weld Canal borders the property along the north and east. This
canal will not be disturbed during Phase 1 design or construction.
' II. DRAINAGE BASINS
' A. MaJor Basin Description
The Northgate Commons P.U.D. lies entirely within the Greenbriar-Evergreen
Basin Master Plan (Basin 6) as shown in the Master Plan Report by Lidstone &
Anderson, Inc., dated May, 1996. Applicable portions of this study are included
in the Appendix. At the time of this project's submittal, this Master Drainage Plan
rwas in a draft stage, and had not been approved by the City of Fort Collins
Stormwater Utility. In effect, this report simply incorporated the recommendations
that the Master Drainage Plan had called for at the time of submittal. At the final
design stage it will be necessary to review the Greenbriar-Evergreen Basin Master
Plan and update the drainage facility design to reflect the most current version of
1 the master drainage plan.
