the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
4. 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.
Please contact Basil Hamdan at 224-6035 or bhamdan@fcgov.com for more information. There is also more
information on the EPA web site at: hftp://water.epa.gov/polwaste/green/bbfs.cfm?

1. The applicant should make note of Article 3.2.1(C) that requires developments to submit plans that "...(4)
protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat". Note that a significant tree is defined as a tree having
DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. As several of the trees within this site may have a
DBH of greater than six inches, a review of the trees shall be conducted with Tim Buchanan, City Forester
(221 6361) to determine the status of the existing trees and any mitigation requirements that could result from
the proposed development.
2. An Ecological Characterization Study is required by Section 3.4.1 (D)(1) as the site is within 500 feet of a
known natural habitat (Poudre River). However, as there are several intervening parcels between the river
and this property, and the standard buffer would not extend to this project's parcel, the ECS is waived for
this site. However, please consider the use of native plants and grasses to compliment the natural feature,
in accordance with Article 3.2.1 (E)(2)(3) of the Land Use Code.

1. Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this area include a 16-inch water main in Jefferson, an 8-inch
water main in Linden and 6-inch sewers in Linden and the east 100+ feet of Jefferson.
2. There is an existing 1'X-inch irrigation service to the site extending from the main in Jefferson.
3. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply. Information on these requirements
can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/standards

1. What type of parking will occur in this lot? Is there a nearby land use that will utilize the lot? Is this daily
(employee) or hourly (business patrons) parking? More information is needed to determine the amount of
traffic to anticipate at the accesses.
2. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING notes that isn't consistent with the adopted Jefferson Street Plan, and in fact
that the property is owned by the Railroad.- Is this proposal from the railroad?

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. 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 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 report requirements are in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Section 1.3.3, Volume 3,
Chapter 7 of the Fort Collins Amendments. If you need clarification concerning this section, please contact
the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com.
3. The runoff from this site flows to two different basins, as shown in the attached Exhibit B. It will be required
that the design of the parking area stay consistent with the approximate drainage areas shown. The area of
the site shown in brown (the approximate northeast half of the site) can be released at the northeastern
corner of the site with no extended water quality detention or volume detention but must meet LID standards
as described below. Since the ultimate outfall for the remainder of the site shown in green (the approximate
southwestern half of the site) has not been constructed yet, this area of the site will need to provide onsite
extended water quality detention as well as volume detention and can release into the existing storm sewer
at the southern corner of the site (intersection of Jefferson and Linden). Onsite detention is required for the
runoff volume difference between the 100 year developed inflow rate and the 2 year historic release rate.
This portion of the site will also need to meet LID standards as described below. Standard water quality
treatment is described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices
(BMPs).
