RE: Preliminary Drainage Memo for Living Oaks PDP
Dear Shane,
I am pleased to submit for your review and approval, this Preliminary Drainage Memo for the
Living Oaks development. I certify that this memo for the drainage design was prepared in
accordance with the criteria in the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Manual.
Location and Description of Property
The Living Oaks development is located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 12, Township 7
North, Range 69 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, in the City of Fort Collins, Larimer
County, Colorado. Please refer to the attached vicinity map.
The project site is located at the southwest corner of E. Oak Street and Mathews Street. The
property consists of 4,623 sf of land and will consist of a new building, one parking space for
electric vehicle charging and a drive aisle / hardscape area behind and tucked under the second
floor of the building. The site currently has two driveways, both will be removed and only one
will be replaced (so the net impervious area in the right of way will be reduced).
The site generally slopes in an easterly direction at approximately 0.5% to 1.0%. The land is
currently vacant.
According to FEMA Panel 08069C0979H there are no mapped FEMA Floodways on this
property.
The proposed development lies within the Old Town Master Drainage Plan. The outfall for this
site is the existing storm sewer system in Oak Street.
Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The runoff from this site has been routed to conform to the requirements of the City Stormwater
Department. Because the increase in impervious area for this site is not greater than 5,000 sf,
onsite detention is not required. Water quality treatment for 50% of the site is provided for in the
2
Udall Natural Area water treatment facility. City LID requirements are in place which will
account for the other 50% water quality treatment. The onsite water quality will be accomplished
through the use of a porous pavement system that includes 12” of storage in the voids below the
pavers.
Runoff reduction practices (LID techniques) are also required. No less than fifty percent of any
newly added impervious area must be treated using one or a combination of LID techniques.
The project adds 4,326 sf of new impervious area. Using the porous paver LID technique, 2,792
sf of new impervious area (65%) will be treated which exceeds the 50% requirement.
No less than twenty five percent of any newly added pavement areas must be treated using a
permeable pavement technology. The project adds 805 sf of new pavement area (which is not
under the second floor roof). This project will incorporate 857 sf of porous pavers which is more
than 100% of the newly added pavement which meets the required 25%.
Please refer to the attachments for LID calculations and information.
Directly Connected Impervious Area (DCIA) Discussion
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) recommends a Four Step Process for
receiving water protection that focuses on reducing runoff volumes, treating the water quality
capture volume (WQCV), stabilizing drainageways and implementing long-term source controls.
The Four Step Process applies to the management of smaller, frequently occurring events.
Step 1: Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
To reduce runoff peaks, volumes, and pollutant loads from urbanizing areas, implement Low
Impact Development (LID) strategies, including Minimizing Directly Connected Impervious
Areas (MDCIA).
Runoff from the drive aisle and south half of the roof shall drain directly into a porous pavement
system thereby slowing runoff and also promoting infiltration
Step 2: Implement BMPs that Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume with Slow Release
Once runoff has been minimized, the remaining runoff shall be treated through the porous
pavement system. The porous pavement system allows for settlement of sediments.
Step 3: Stabilize Drainageways
Natural Drainageways are subject to bed and bank erosion due to increases in frequency,
duration, rate and volume of runoff during and following development. Because water quality
treatment for 50% of the site is provided for in the Udall Natural Area water treatment facility,
bank stabilization is unnecessary with this project.
Step 4: Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs
Proactively controlling pollutants at their source by preventing pollution rather than removing
contaminants once they have entered the stormwater system or receiving waters is important
when protecting storm systems and receiving waters. This can be accomplished through site
3
specific needs such as construction site runoff control, post-construction runoff control and
pollution prevention / good housekeeping. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to
develop a procedural best management practice for the site.
Drainage Facility Design
The development has been divided into two drainage basins, A and B. Basin A consists of the
south half of the site and will be collected in the porous pavement system where it will then be
conveyed to the existing storm drain system in Oak Street. The remainder of the development,
Basin B, will connect roof drains to the drainage system from the pavers. Any overflow from
Basin B will sheet flow to Oak Street where it will then enter the same system.
Please refer to the attachments for the drainage plan.
Conclusions
All computations that have been completed within this report are in compliance with the City of
Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual.
The proposed drainage concepts presented in this report and on the construction plans adequately
provides for stormwater quantity and quality treatment of proposed impervious areas.
Conveyance elements have been designed to pass required flows and to minimize future
maintenance.
If, at the time of construction, groundwater is encountered, a Colorado Department of Health
Construction Dewatering Permit will be required.
I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this submittal. Please call if you have any
questions.
