Home My WebLink AboutGARDENS ON SPRING CREEK - MAJOR AMENDMENT - MJA150006 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - DRAINAGE REPORTSeptember 9, 2015 Basil Hamdan, P.E., CFM Stormwater Quality Engineer Fort Collins Utilities, Stormwater 700 Wood Street Fort Collins, CO 80521 RE: City of Fort Collins Gardens on Spring Creek – Drainage & Erosion Control Memo JVA Job No. 2257c Dear Mr. Hamdan: This letter has been prepared to summarize the drainage concept, solutions and changes in impervious area associated with the site improvements for the Gardens on Spring Creek project located at the Community Horticulture Center, 2145 Centre Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado. This letter represents an addendum to the Center for Advanced Technologies 22 nd Filing (“Community Horticulture Center”) Final Project Development Drainage and Erosion Control Report, dated January 31, 2003, prepared by EDAW, Inc. (EDAW). Overview The existing 18.3 acre site consists of the Community Horticulture Center (CHC) and outdoor classrooms, visitor parking lot, Children’s Garden, Garden of Eatin’, Experiential Garden, and the Rock Garden, all constructed as part of the first phase of the Master Plan for the development of the City-owned property. In general, as part of the final buildout of the project (phase 2) on the remaining 5+ acres of undeveloped land, proposed improvements include the addition of the Great Lawn and bandstand/stage, the Prairie Garden, Foothills Garden, Undaunted Garden, extensive trail system expansion, and enlargement of the stormwater detention pond/Wetlands Demonstration Site to the east. The project site is located in the FEMA 100-year regulatory floodway and City of Fort Collins Spring Creek Drainage Basin (SWMM Subbasin 130), and no stormwater detention is required (refer to the project Floodplain Memo prepared by JVA, Inc. dated September 8, 2015 for compliance with Chapter 10 of City Municipal Code: Flood Prevention and Protection). The referenced Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report for the project accounts for the anticipated phase 2 buildout of the gardens and corresponding increase in runoff into Spring Creek. This letter will serve to supplement the original report and demonstrate that the final development of the Gardens on Spring Creek complies with the approved stormwater drainage plan designed by EDAW. Existing Drainage Design As discussed in the approved drainage report, the predeveloped site historically drained overland directly into Spring Creek. The original storm design by EBAW mimics the historic drainage pattern; runoff from the site flows via curb & gutter (in the existing parking lot), grass swales, culverts, and through a perforated underdrain system within the water quality porous landscape detention areas, ultimately discharging into Spring Creek. The southern portion of the site is interrupted by the Sherwood Ditch Lateral, and the original suspended CMP storm culverts were replaced with RCP culverts underneath the ditch to convey runoff into Spring Creek as part of the phase 1 project. Other than the area immediately adjacent to the Sherwood Lateral, no runoff will enter the ditch except in the 100-year event. CoFC Gardens on Spring Creek Drainage Memo September 9, 2015 2 of 2 Proposed Drainage Design The drainage characteristics of the phase 2 buildout of the Gardens on Spring Creek comply with the original stormwater design intent as described in the approved drainage report and no major variations are proposed. Runoff will continue to be conveyed to Spring Creek via a combination of overland flow, vegetated swales, and perforated piping. The existing constructed wetlands basin (previously referred to as the Wetlands Demonstration Site) will be expanded to approximately 15,000 square feet of area and 0.491 acre-feet of volume. This enlarged basin will encompass and replace the existing southeastern porous landscape detention (PLD) area (identified as water quality basin A1a in the original Report) while retaining the existing concrete sill structure and downstream PLD area to the north, eventually outfalling into Spring Creek. The wetlands basin will provide 11,843 cubic feet of storage volume above the permanent water surface created by the concrete sill at an elevation of approximately 4990.94 feet (NAVD88 datum), an increase of 8,149 cubic feet over the existing condition. The small PLD area to the north referred to in the original plans as basin A1b will also remain. See the attached grading plans, sheets C1.0-C1.2. EBAW’s Report anticipated the Gardens full buildout by assuming an overall runoff coefficient value of 0.35 and an approximated 10% imperviousness. Based on as-built drawings of the Horticulture Center, the existing/post-phase 1 overall site imperviousness was calculated to be 12.5%, with a coefficient of 0.40. The Gardens final proposed layout was calculated to be 17.8% and 0.44 respectively, resulting in a minor increase over the existing and an insignificant deviation from the original assumptions. The associated increase in runoff is more than offset by the increased volume in the constructed wetlands basin. See attached calculations. Erosion and Sediment Control During construction, temporary erosion and sediment control practices will be used to limit soil erosion and sediment discharge off the site. An erosion and sediment control plan with stormwater management plan and details will be provided in the utility plans for construction. Refer to the Erosion Control Report prepared by JVA dated September 9, 2015. Please feel free to contact myself or Karen Brigman to discuss any questions you may have.
