LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION
This site for the location of an elementary school and
junior high school to be constructed by the Pouder School
District R-1 is located in the Southeast quarter of Section 34,
Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., in the City of
Fort Collins, Colorado. The site is located on the west side of
Seneca Street immediately south of a proposed future City Park,
approximately one-half mile west of South Shields Street and one -
quarter mile north of Harmony Road.
The site has been used historically as dry land pasture and
slopes gently from west to east at approximately 1:3%. There are
no improvements on -site at this time except for an excavated
storm drainage channel along the southern most boundary. This
channel was constructed as part of the improvements for Belair
P.U.D.
PROPOSED USE
As mentioned above, the Poudre School District R-1 is
planning to develope this site for an elementary school and a
junior high school.
The elementary school will be located at the north end of
the site with construction being planned to commence in March of
1987. Along with the school building will be the associated
parking lots and playground facilities.
The junior high school will be situated at the south end of
the site with construction being planned to commence in the year
1988. As well as parking facilities, the junior high school will
have a running track enclosing a football field, a soccer field
and several baseball fields.
Drainage improvements for the two projects will be phased
with the respective site improvements for the two projects.
HISTORIC CONDITIONS AND EXISTING REPORTS
The site is tributary to Basins 77, 79, 80 and 85 of the
"McClellands and Mail Creek Major Drainageway Plan" prepared by
Cornell Consulting Company and John S. Griffith, P.E. in
December, 1980. The site is also part of the "Preliminary
Drainage Report for the Villages at Harmony West P.U.D., 2nd
Filing" prepared by Parsons and Associates Consulting Engineers
in July 1983. The latter report addressed detention as it
pertains to the site in its developed state. The portion of the
site tributary to Basins 79, 80, and 85 of the "McClellands"
report will not detain any runoff on -site but will direct all
runoff to the regional detention facility located on the south
side of Wakerobin Lane west of the Pleasant Valley and Lake
Canal. Runoff will be transported to the detention pond via an
open channel along the north side of Seneca Street and the east
side of Regency Drive, which was partially constructed with
Belair P.U.D. The channel configuration was sized for undetained
on -site as well as undetained off -site developed runoff from
Basins 79, 80 and 85.
DEVELOPED CONDITIONS AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Basin 77 - As indicated with the above mentioned Parsons and
Associates Prleiminary Drainage Report, developed improvements
occuring within historic basin 77 would require that runoff be
detained and released at the rate of the historic 100-year
intensity storm. It was indicated in that report that this
runoff would then be discharge into the "upgraded Pleasant
Valley and Lake Canal."
The City of Fort Collins Storm Water Utility is currently
studying the possibility of constructing a regional detention
facility for historic basin 77 as well as baisns 78, 83 and 84
(as indicated in the aforementioned McClellands and Mail Creek
Plan) which would allow the release of storm runoff at the 100-
year historic rate. Until such time as the necessary
improvements are made to handle the additional runoff from the
100-year historic flows, the portion of basin 77 currently being
developed will detain storm runoff and release it at the rate of
the historic 2-year intensity storm which is the currently
accepted practice within the City of Fort Collins.
Onsite runoff from basin 77 (developed basins D-1 thru D-5)
will be detained along the west side of Seneca Street and
released at the historic 2-year rate into a catch basin at the
low point on Seneca Street. The catch basin and necessary
culvert crossing Seneca Street will be constructed with the
street improvements and is being designed by others. Provisions
will be made at the release structure for the detention pond to
allow for the higher 100-year historic release rate at a time
when suitable downstream improvements are made to handle the
additional flows.
At such time as downstream improvements are made, a new
oriface plate will be fitted to the release structure and the
developer may also at that time reclaim portions of the detention
pond for other uses.
Onsite improvements will also be made to incorporate the
handling of the 2-year historic flows from the offsite portion
of basin 77 flowing through the site. These flows will not be
detained onsite but will be routed through the detention pond.
The pond will be constructed such that during a 100-year
intensity storm, it will detain the onsite runoff and release it
at the 2-year historic rate while any additional runoff will
spill over onto Seneca Street and enter the catch bains as
indicated previously.
Basins 79, 80, and 85 - As mentioned previously in this
report and in the Parsons and Associates Preliminary Report,
developed runoff from basins 79, 80 and 85 will be directed to
the regional facility located south of Wakerobin Lane and west of
the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal.
Onsite runoff from these basins (developed basins D-6 thru
D-8) will be directed to a proposed crossing of Seneca Street
immediately north of the intersection of Regency Drive.
Onsite improvements will be made to accept runoff from Basin
79, as it enters basin D-6, at the 2-year historic rate and
routed through the site to the Seneca Street crossing.
OVERSIZING
As mentioned above, onsite improvements for both basins 77
and 79 will be sized to properly handle runoff for the historic
2-year intensity storms for the offsite portions of those
basins. The cost of oversizing these facilities for anything
will be considered as
over and above said 2-year historic flows
a basin improvement and it will be expected that the cost for
those improvements will be considered as oversizing and
reimbursement made to the developer under the City Oversizing
Policy.
CALCULATIONS
All calculations and proposed improvements are indicated on
the Preliminary Drainage and Grading Plan enclosed in the pocket
at the end of this report. All formulae used for calculations
are indicated in the Appendix. All improvements shall meet or
exceed the requirements as set forth in the "City of Fort
Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria and -•Construction
Standards" and any other applicable criteria in effect at the
time of construction.
