I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
The proposed site is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of South College
Avenue and West Magnolia Street. Refer to the previous page for the location shown on the
Vicinity Map.
More specifically this project is comprised of Lots 1 and 2 of Block 113 in Fort Collins,
located in the southeast 1/4 of Section 11, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th
Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado.
The site is bounded by South College Avenue (140’ right-of way) to the east, West Magnolia
Street (100’ right-of-way) to the south, a public alley (20’ right-of-way) to the west, and the
existing Clocktower Square Condos building to the north. This area is part of the high
density Downtown District for zoning and planning purposes.
The site is located within a City of Fort Collins regulatory 100-year floodway and flood fringe
area in the Old Town Basin. The area is not considered a floodway according to FEMA. The
flood maps are included in Appendix A.
B. Description of Property
The 7-Eleven College and Magnolia (Project) consists of an area of 0.436 acres. The site is
currently covered with a packed gravel parking lot with several trees on the site.
The site is located within a City of Fort Collins regulatory flood fringe area in the Old Town
Basin. The surrounding right-of-ways for College and Magnolia are considered to be within
the 100-year floodway. The area is not considered a floodway according to the FEMA Flood
Insurance Rate Map for the area. The flood maps are included in Appendix A.
The proposed development will consist of a convenience store and associated access roads
and parking. Accessible sidewalks will be connected to the existing sidewalks in the
surrounding right-of-way. Revisions to the public right-of-way will include expanding the
existing southern and eastern drive entrances and removing the second drive entrance along
West Magnolia Street.
No existing major irrigation facilities are located within the site nor impact the site directly.
The proposed land use will be a convenience store with associated parking lot.

C. Floodplain Submittal Requirements
Revisions to the Floodplain will be addressed via separate document according to the
requirements of the “City of Fort Collins Floodplain Review Checklist”. The design will
comply with the City of Fort Collins floodplain regulations.
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Desciption
The site is located within the Old Town Drainage Basin and is included in the Old Town
Master Drainage Plan. The development is located within the City of Fort Collins regulatory
flood fringe area. Design of the site has been prepared to set the building a minimum of
eighteen inches above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The surrounding right-of-ways for
College and Magnolia are within the 100-year floodway. The area is not considered a
floodway according to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for the area. The flood maps are
included in Appendix A.
The Old Town Drainage Basin is a high-density, urban drainage basin located in north-
central Fort Collins. The majority of the runoff from the Basin drains east to the Poudre
River. The basin is entirely urbanized. Future planning for the basin will utilize
improvements to the storm infrastructure to reduce the regular flooding that occurs in the
area.
No known irrigation facilities are located within 150’ of the property boundary.
B. Sub-Basin Description
Historically, the site flows from the northeast corner to the College and Magnolia intersection,
across the gravel parking lot. A small portion of the site along the west property line drains to
the alley right-of-way. Slopes on the site range from 0.6% to 3%. The College Avenue right-
of-way adjacent to the site drains to the north. The Magnolia Street right-of-way adjacent to
the site drains to the west. The alley drains to the south.
The proposed development will match the existing drainage patterns as closely as possible.
The overall site will drain to the south and east, with one small portion draining to the alley
along the west property line.

7-Eleven – College and Magnolia
Drainage Report
Page 4
The site is not impacted by any offsite flows during minor storm events. During small events,
the runoff will be contained within the surrounding curb and gutter in Magnolia and College.
The building to the north drains to College and to the alley without impacting the 7-Eleven
site.
During major storm events, the site is included in the flood fringe for the Old Town drainage
basin and may experience flooding on the site from the off-site basin. The building finished
floor has been set above the anticipated base flood elevation for the area to prevent flooding
of the building.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
Deviations from the criteria are not requested for development of the proposed site.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The site is included in the Old Town Master Drainage Plan and has been designed to
conform to the master plan. Since the area experiences regular flooding, the building
elevation has been raised above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for the property.
Adjacent drainage studies do not impact this site.
The site is constrained on three sides by City right-of-way. The drainage patterns within the
right-of way have not been impacted by the proposed development. The proposed on-site
sidewalks will tie into the existing sidewalks within the right-of-way. The proposed vehicular
access from College and Magnolia will tie back into the existing roadway without affecting the
existing slopes in the curb and gutter.
C. Hydrological Criteria
Hydrologic calculations have been prepared for the 100-year storm events.
All calculations have been prepared using the Rational Method Formula. Proposed Time of
Concentration and Rational Method calculations and references have been included in
Appendix B.

Detention and water quality have not been determined for the site. Water quality treatment
for the site and surrounding area is provided by the Udall Natural Area water treatment
facility.
The hydrology of the site has been designed according to the City of Fort Collins criteria.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
The capacity of the proposed on-site curb and gutter and concrete pan will be designed to
convey the major storm. Although Fort Collins design criteria requires designing curb and
gutter for the minor storm, the final design intends to demonstrate that the major storm can
be conveyed through the site via curb and gutter.
Revisions to the Floodplain will be addressed via separate document according to the
requirements of the “City of Fort Collins Floodplain Review Checklist”. The design will
comply with the City of Fort Collins floodplain regulations.
E. Floodplain Regulation Compliance
Revisions to the Floodplain will be addressed via separate document according to the
requirements of the “City of Fort Collins Floodplain Review Checklist”. The design will
comply with the City of Fort Collins floodplain regulations.
F. Modifications of Criteria
Modifications to criteria are not requested for this project.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
The proposed site will generally follow the existing patterns. Runoff will drain via overland
flow and roof drains to the proposed parking lot and drive isle. The access then drains from
a high point in the northwest corner, south to Magnolia Street, and east to College Avenue.
A small portion of the site will continue to drain to the alley on the west. The drainage
patterns for the surrounding right-of-way will not be modified with the development of the site.
The site is not impacted by any offsite flows during minor storm events. During small events,
the off-site runoff will be contained within the surrounding curb and gutter in Magnolia and
College. During major storm events, the site is included in the flood fringe for the Old Town

drainage basin. The building finished floor has been set above the anticipated base flood
elevation for the area to prevent flooding of the building.
All proposed design calculations for the proposed site improvements have been included in
Appendix B.
B. Specific Details
All runoff coefficients are based on the City Runoff Coefficients for Zoning Classifications.
The site is a commercial business, so the Coefficient is 0.95 for all three basins, per Table
RO-10.
Basin A - Design Point 1
Basin A consists 0.192 acres I located on the western half of the proposed site. A
portion of the building drains to the parking area and drive isle and is conveyed via
curb and gutter and a 2’ concrete pan to Design Point 1 located at the southern
property line. This basin drains to the West Magnolia Street right-of-way and is
conveyed off-site via the existing Magnolia curb and gutter.
Basin B - Design Point 2
Basin B consists of 0.029 acres along the west property line. The entire basin drains
west into the alley right-of-way and south to Design Point 2 at the southern property
line. The alley drains south to West Magnolia Street.
Basin C - Design Point 3
Basin C consists of 0.215 acres located in the eastern half of the site. Half of the
building drains via roof drains to the parking area and drive isle north of the building.
The drive isle then drains east via curb and gutter to Design Point 3 at the property
boundary. Runoff is conveyed off-site via the existing South College Avenue curb
and gutter.
Detention and water quality are not proposed for the site. Water quality for the area is
provided by the Udall Natural Area water treatment facility.
Maintenance access will be via the drive isle through the site. The slopes for the site are flat
and will not prevent access for maintenance vehicles.

Engineering Properties
This table gives the engineering classifications and the range of engineering
properties for the layers of each soil in the survey area.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.
Texture is given in the standard terms used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
These terms are defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and clay in the
fraction of the soil that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter. "Loam," for example,
is soil that is 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt, and less than 52 percent
sand. If the content of particles coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an
appropriate modifier is added, for example, "gravelly."
Classification of the soils is determined according to the Unified soil classification
system (ASTM, 2005) and the system adopted by the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO, 2004).
The Unified system classifies soils according to properties that affect their use as
construction material. Soils are classified according to particle-size distribution of
the fraction less than 3 inches in diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid
limit, and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils are identified as GW,
GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and SC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH,
and OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibiting engineering properties of
two groups can have a dual classification, for example, CL-ML.
The AASHTO system classifies soils according to those properties that affect
roadway construction and maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral soil
that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified in one of seven groups from A-1
through A-7 on the basis of particle-size distribution, liquid limit, and plasticity index.
Soils in group A-1 are coarse grained and low in content of fines (silt and clay). At
the other extreme, soils in group A-7 are fine grained. Highly organic soils are
classified in group A-8 on the basis of visual inspection.
If laboratory data are available, the A-1, A-2, and A-7 groups are further classified
as A-1-a, A-1-b, A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, or A-7-6. As an additional
refinement, the suitability of a soil as subgrade material can be indicated by a group
index number. Group index numbers range from 0 for the best subgrade material
to 20 or higher for the poorest.
Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter and 3 to 10 inches in diameter
are indicated as a percentage of the total soil on a dry-weight basis. The
percentages are estimates determined mainly by converting volume percentage in
the field to weight percentage.
Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated sieves is the percentage of the
soil fraction less than 3 inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The sieves,
numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA Standard Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00,
0.420, and 0.074 millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based on laboratory tests
of soils sampled in the survey area and in nearby areas and on estimates made in
the field.
Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits) indicate the plasticity
characteristics of a soil. The estimates are based on test data from the survey area
or from nearby areas and on field examination.

Physical Soil Properties
This table shows estimates of some physical characteristics and features that affect
soil behavior. These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey
area. The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and
similar soils.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.
Particle size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by
sedimentation, sieving, or micrometric methods. Particle sizes are expressed as
classes with specific effective diameter class limits. The broad classes are sand,
silt, and clay, ranging from the larger to the smaller.
Sand as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.05 millimeter to
2 millimeters in diameter. In this table, the estimated sand content of each soil layer
is given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.002 to 0.05
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated silt content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated clay content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
The content of sand, silt, and clay affects the physical behavior of a soil. Particle
size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations, for determination
of soil hydrologic qualities, and for soil classification.
The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and
the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture. They influence shrink-
swell potential, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), plasticity, the ease of soil
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also
affect tillage and earthmoving operations.
Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry) per unit volume. Volume is
measured when the soil is at field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content
at 1/3- or 1/10-bar (33kPa or 10kPa) moisture tension. Weight is determined after
the soil is dried at 105 degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist bulk density of
each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soil material that is
less than 2 millimeters in diameter. Bulk density data are used to compute linear
extensibility, shrink-swell potential, available water capacity, total pore space, and
other soil properties. The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore space
available for water and roots. Depending on soil texture, a bulk density of more than
1.4 can restrict water storage and root penetration. Moist bulk density is influenced
by texture, kind of clay, content of organic matter, and soil structure.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) refers to the ease with which pores in a
saturated soil transmit water. The estimates in the table are expressed in terms of
micrometers per second. They are based on soil characteristics observed in the
field, particularly structure, porosity, and texture. Saturated hydraulic conductivity
(Ksat) is considered in the design of soil drainage systems and septic tank
absorption fields.

Available water capacity refers to the quantity of water that the soil is capable of
storing for use by plants. The capacity for water storage is given in inches of water
per inch of soil for each soil layer. The capacity varies, depending on soil properties
that affect retention of water. The most important properties are the content of
organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, and soil structure. Available water capacity
is an important factor in the choice of plants or crops to be grown and in the design
and management of irrigation systems. Available water capacity is not an estimate
of the quantity of water actually available to plants at any given time.
Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture
content is decreased from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the volume
change between the water content of the clod at 1/3- or 1/10-bar tension (33kPa or
10kPa tension) and oven dryness. The volume change is reported in the table as
percent change for the whole soil. The amount and type of clay minerals in the soil
influence volume change.
Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils. The
shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility of less than 3 percent;
moderate if 3 to 6 percent; high if 6 to 9 percent; and very high if more than 9 percent.
If the linear extensibility is more than 3, shrinking and swelling can cause damage
to buildings, roads, and other structures and to plant roots. Special design
commonly is needed.
Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of
decomposition. In this table, the estimated content of organic matter is expressed
as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter. The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained by returning
crop residue to the soil.
Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity, water infiltration,
soil organism activity, and tilth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops
and soil organisms.
Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kf) and the T factor.
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)
and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average
annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The
estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter and
on soil structure and Ksat. Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors being
equal, the higher the value, the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion
by water.
Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The estimates are
modified by the presence of rock fragments.
Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction, or the material
less than 2 millimeters in size.
Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil erosion
by wind and/or water that can occur without affecting crop productivity over a
sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting
their susceptibility to wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned to group
1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and those assigned to group 8 are the
least susceptible. The groups are described in the "National Soil Survey
Handbook."

Wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to wind
erosion, or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind erosion.
There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the surface
layer, the size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments, organic matter, and
a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also influence wind
erosion.
