B. Description of Property
1. Carriage House Apartments is comprised of ±1.45 acres.
2. The site is currently occupied by three single-family residences and associated
improvements.
Figure 2 – Aerial Photograph
3. The existing groundcover consists of grasses and numerous mature trees. The existing
on-site runoff generally drains west-to-east across flat grades (e.g., <2.00%) into
Springfield Drive and South Shields Street.
4. A soils report (Project No. 12-1-5-517 | Date: December 12, 2012) was completed
by Kumar and Associates, Inc. The report contains the results of a complete
geotechnical subsurface exploration as well as pertinent geotechnical
recommendations. According to the summary of findings presented in the
aforementioned report,
"The borings encountered 4 to 6 inches of topsoil overlying nil to 5 feet of man-
placed fill. The fill was composed of fine to coarse-grained sandy lean clay with
occasional small gravels. The natural soil underlying the fill material consisted of
fine-grained sandy lean clay with occasional zones of lean clay. In the deeper
foundation borings, fine to coarse-grained clayey sand was encountered below the
clayey soil and continued to the overburden soil/bedrock interface. The natural
overburden clay soils were slightly moist to moist, and generally very stiff to hard.
The natural clayey sands were slightly moist to wet below ground water, and
medium dense to dense."
Project Site

The boring logs show that USCS soil group CL is predominant on-site. These soils are
inorganic clays of low to medium plasticity, gravelly clays, sandy clays, silty clays and
lean clays.
5. There are no major drainageways within or adjacent to the project site.
6. The proposed Carriage House Apartments development will consist of a student
residential complex with five multi-unit buildings. Other proposed improvements
include: a new asphalt and permeable Modular Block Paver (MBP) parking area and
landscaping.
7. The proposed land use is residential, multi-family dwellings. This is a permitted use in
the Neighborhood Community - Buffer District (NCB).
C. Floodplain
1. The subject property is not located in a FEMA regulatory or City of Fort Collins
designated floodplain. In particular, the project site is not located within a FEMA
designated 100-year floodplain per Map Number 08069C0978G (Effective date: May
2, 2012).

Final Drainage Report 4
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. Carriage House Apartments is located within the City of Fort Collins Old Town major
drainage basin. Specifically, the project site is situated in the southwest corner of this
major drainage basin. This basin is located in north-central Fort Collins and has a
drainage area of approximately 2,120 acres, including approximately 400 acres of the
Colorado State University campus. The Old Town major drainage basin generally
drains from west to east. It receives some runoff from the Canal Importation Basin
directly west of Old Town. Most of the runoff from the Old Town major drainage basin
drains into the Poudre River.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The outfall for the project site is an existing curb inlet located at the southwest corner
of South Shields Street and Springfield Drive.
2. The existing subject site can be defined by three (3) sub-basins (i.e., EX1 through
EX3). Refer to the Existing Conditions Drainage & Erosion Control Exhibit.
x Sub-basin EX1 delineates the proposed project site. Approximately twelve feet
of Right-Of-Way (ROW) will be dedicated along South Shields Street with this
project. This area is included in sub-basin EX1, which was used to
approximate the 2- and 100-year existing runoff.
x Sub-basins EX2 and EX3 delineate the existing Springfield Drive and South
Shields Street right-of-way areas contiguous with the project site, respectively.
The existing site runoff generally drains from west-to-east into Springfield Drive and
South Shields Street.
3. The project site does not receive notable runoff from contiguous off-site properties.

III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with Carriage House
Apartments.
B. The overall stormwater management strategy employed with Carriage House Apartments
utilizes the “Four Step Process” to minimize adverse impacts of urbanization on receiving
waters. The following is a description of how the proposed development has incorporated
each step.
Step 1 – Employ Runoff Reduction Practices. The first consideration taken in trying to
reduce the stormwater impacts of this development is the site selection itself. By choosing
an already developed site with public storm sewer currently in place, the burden is
significantly less than developing a vacant parcel absent of any infrastructure.
Carriage House Apartments aims to reduce runoff peaks, volumes and pollutant loads from
frequently occurring storm events (i.e., water quality (i.e., 80th percentile) and 2-year
storm events) by implementing Low Impact Development (LID) strategies. Wherever
practical, runoff will be routed across landscaped areas or through grass-lined swales and
Modular Block Pavers (MBPs). This LID practice reduces the overall amount of impervious
area, while at the same time Minimizing Directly Connected Impervious Areas (MDCIA).
The combined LID/MDCIA techniques will be implemented, where practical, throughout
the development, thereby slowing runoff and increasing opportunities for infiltration.
Step 2 – Implement BMPs That Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) with
Slow Release. The efforts taken in Step 1 will help to minimize excess runoff from
frequently occurring storm events; however, urban development of this intensity will still
have stormwater runoff leaving the site. The primary water quality treatment will occur in
the Modular Block Paver (MBP) section in sub-basin A.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways. As stated in Section I.B.5, above, there are no major
drainageways in or near the subject site. While this step may not seem applicable to
Carriage House Apartments, the proposed project indirectly helps achieve stabilized
drainageways nonetheless. Once again, site selection has a positive effect on stream
stabilization. By redeveloping an existing project with existing stormwater infrastructure,
combined with LID and MDCIA strategies, the likelihood of bed and bank erosion is
reduced. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees, as well
as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve Citywide
drainageway stability.
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs. This step typically
applies to industrial and commercial developments.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1. The subject property is not part of any Overall Development Plan (ODP) drainage
study or similar “development/project” drainage master plan.
2. The site plan is constrained on two sides by public streets, as well as by existing and
fully developed sites along the remaining two sides. As previously mentioned, the
drainage outfall for sub-basin A is an existing curb inlet at the southwest corner of
Springfield Drive and South Shields Street. Total runoff, from the project site during
Carriage House Apartments
Final Drainage Report 6
the 2- and 100-year storm events, will decrease. During the 2-year storm event, runoff
decreased negligibly from ±0.91 cfs to ±0.90 cfs; and during the 100-year storm
event runoff decreased from ±4.01 cfs to ±2.01 cfs.
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as depicted in
Figure RA-16 of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic computations
associated with the Carriage House Apartments development. Tabulated data
contained in Table RA-7 has been utilized for Rational Method runoff calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing
coefficients contained in Tables RO-11 and RO-12 of the FCSCM.
3. The Rational Formula-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procedure has
utilized for detention storage calculations.
4. Two separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage scenarios.
The first event analyzed is the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a 2-year
recurrence interval. The second event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a
100-year recurrence interval.
E. Hydraulic Criteria
1. The drainage facilities proposed with the Carriage House Apartments project
are designed in accordance with criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District’s (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Manual.
2. As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is not located in a
FEMA regulatory or a City of Fort Collins designated floodplain.
F. Floodplain Regulations Compliance
1. As previously mentioned, this project is not subject to any floodplain
regulations.
G. Modifications of Criteria
1. No modifications are requested at this time.

Final Drainage Report 7
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. The main objective of the Carriage House Apartments drainage design is to maintain
existing drainage patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
2. No notable off-site runoff passes directly through the project site.
3. A list of tables and figures used within this report can be found in the Table of
Contents at the front of the document. The tables and figures are located within the
sections to which the content best applies.
4. The project site has been divided into three (3) drainage sub-basins, designated as
sub-basins A, B, and C. The drainage patterns anticipated for each basin are further
described below.
Sub-Basin A
Sub-basin A encompasses ±85 percent of the total site area. This sub-basin is
comprised of roof area, landscaping and the on-site parking area. This parking area
will be a mix of asphalt and Modular Block Pavers (MBPs). Detention will be provided
within in the MBPs (WSEL100-year=5030.17). This basin will release at an adjusted 2-
year rate of 0.57 cfs through an orifice plate. The orifice plate will be located on the
west wall of the most downstream area inlet.
Sub-Basin B
Sub-basin B is a relatively small basin (0.02 acre) that is comprised of asphalt (i.e.,
project site drive entrance) and landscaping. The excess developed runoff will drain
into Springfield Drive. The 100-year developed runoff (Q100=0.18 cfs), for sub-basin
B, was subtracted from the total 2-year existing release rate (Q100=2.01cfs).
Sub-Basin C
Sub-basin C encompasses the northeast corner of the project site. It is comprised of
roof area and landscaping. The excess developed runoff will drain into Springfield
Drive and South Shields Street. The 100-year developed runoff (Q100=1.27 cfs), for
sub-basin C, was subtracted from the total 2-year existing release rate
(Q100=2.01cfs).
A full-size copy of the Drainage Exhibit (sheet DR1) can be found in the Map Pocket
at the end of this report.
B. Specific Details
1. A hybrid approach was utilized to compute the maximum allowable release
rate associated with the FAA detention sizing calculations. The 100-year peak
runoff rate was calculated for the pre-development impervious areas. This
essentially “grandfathers” the existing impervious areas by allowing the
respective 100-year peak discharge to be added to the maximum allowable
release rate. The release rate for the remaining undeveloped land (pre-
development pervious areas) was established by calculating the 2-year peak
runoff rate for these areas. The total of these two discharges (i.e., 1.45cfs and
Carriage House Apartments
Final Drainage Report 8
0.56cfs) establishes the overall maximum allowable release rate, 2.01 cfs,
from the project site. The allowable release rate of 0.57 cfs utilized in the FAA
procedure detention storage computations (Refer to Appendix B for these
calculations) and was established by subtracting the undetained release of
1.44 cfs, from the overall maximum allowable release rate. This hybrid
approach ensures that all increased impervious areas, not just those greater
than 5,000 sq-ft, are over-detained down to the 2-year undeveloped (existing
or pre-development) rate for the 100-year developed condition.
2. The FAA method was used to size the on-site pond for quantity detention.
Calculations for this area, based on the characteristics of sub-basin A and
adjusted release rate, indicate a detention volume of 8114 cu. ft. This
includes 711 cu. ft. of Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV). During water
quality events the water quality capture volume will release over 12-hours.
There is no-infiltration section because in-situ soils are USCS Type CL.
3. The storage volume available within the reservoir area (i.e., No. 57 and No. 2
open-graded aggregate) of the MBP section is ±8114 cu. ft. The MBP section
is designed with an increased No.2, open-graded aggregate, material depth in
order to provide storage for storm events in excess of the water quality (80th
percentile) storm event.
4. Several Nyloplast 12" Standard Grates are located along the north perimeter of
sub-basin A between the Springfield Drive right-of-way and the front of
Building 1 through Building 4. These area inlets are designed to intercept local
flows. To the maximum extent feasible, roof drains will direct flows south and
into the on-site detention pond. These areas will be mostly comprised of
landscaping and sidewalks. The inlet grates are connected to the outfall
system and located upstream from the orifice plate; therefore, some localized
ponding will occur at the two easternmost inlets during more severe storm
events. These two areas will pond because the grate elevations (i.e., 5029.31
and 5029.16) are lower than the proposed 100-year water surface elevation
(i.e., 5030.17).
5. The emergency spillway will be located on the southern side of the parking area. The
spillway will be built into the curb, and will be defined by a 3” notch in the curb that
will be 20’ long. The spillway has been sized to pass the entire 100-yr flow from
Basin A. In the event that an emergency overflow occurs, the drainage will flow to the
south, into the existing drainage facilities that were constructed with the Bennett
Bungalows. The drainage will pass through the pond to the existing outlet structure,
and then into the Bennet Road Right-of-Way. The weir crest elevation is set at
5030.84, which is approximately 8” above the 100-yr WSEL. The elevation is more
than 1’ below the lowest finished floor elevation.

EROSION CONTROL REPORT
Preliminary Erosion Control Report
EROSION CONTROL REPORT
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) will be
included with the final construction drawings. It should be noted, however, that any such Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan serves only as a general guide to the Contractor. Staging and/or
phasing of the BMPs depicted, and additional or different BMPs from those included may be
necessary during construction, or as required by the authorities having jurisdiction.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure erosion control measures are properly
maintained and followed. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is intended to be a living
document, constantly adapting to site conditions and needs. The Contractor shall update the
location of BMPs as they are installed, removed or modified in conjunction with construction
activities. It is imperative to appropriately reflect the current site conditions at all times.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall address both temporary measures to be implemented
during construction, as well as permanent erosion control protection. Best Management Practices
from the Volume 3, Chapter 7 – Construction BMPs will be utilized. Measures may include, but
are not limited to, silt fencing along the disturbed perimeter, gutter protection in the adjacent
roadways and inlet protection at existing and proposed storm inlets. Vehicle tracking control pads,
spill containment and clean-up procedures, designated concrete washout areas, dumpsters, and
job site restrooms shall also be provided by the Contractor.
Grading and Erosion Control Notes can be found on Sheet CS2 of the Utility Plans. The Utility
Plans also contain a full-size Erosion Control Plan as well as a separate sheet dedicated to Erosion
Control Details. In addition to this report and the referenced plan sheets, the Contractor shall be
aware of, and adhere to, the applicable requirements outlined in any existing Development
Agreement(s) of record, as well as the Development Agreement, to be recorded prior to issuance of
the Development Construction Permit. Also, the Site Contractor for this project will be required to
secure a Stormwater Construction General Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality Control Division – Stormwater Program, before
commencing any earth disturbing activities. Prior to securing said permit, the Site Contractor shall
develop a comprehensive StormWater Management Plan (SWMP) pursuant to CDPHE
requirements and guidelines. The SWMP will further describe and document the ongoing
activities, inspections, and maintenance of construction BMPs.
