Collins Brice Hammersland, P.E. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc August 24, 2021 Subject: City of Ft. Collins Rocky Mountain Archery Communication Tower Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) is submitting this Drainage Letter for the above referenced project. The purpose of this letter is to serve as an outline for changes to the existing development and associated drainage analysis. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed Rocky Mountain Archery Communication Tower Project (the “Project”) is located at 4518 Innovation Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado (the “Site”). The Project is anticipated to consist of the construction of communication tower, ground equipment platform, chain-link fence, permeable pavers, and waveguide bridge. The communication tower is located at the southeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the existing stormwater pond. The Site is within Flood Zone “X” and lies outside of the mapped 100-year floodplain as shown on FIRM Map Panels 08069C1000F dated December 19, 2006. Please see Appendix A for the FIRM Maps and NRCS Soil Map. Below outlines the supporting calculations and documentation for the Drainage Letter. ASSUMPTIONS In coordination with City of Ft. Collins guidelines, it was determined that a limited drainage study would be performed with this project. The main objective of this project is to minimize the increase in impervious area of the parcel and impact to the existing stormwater pond. Due to the scope of this project not including a major drainage analysis, the limited analysis provided is intended to demonstrate that negative impacts to the existing storm infrastructure are not anticipated with the construction of the tower and ground improvements. kimley-horn.com 4582 South Ulster Street, Suite 1500, Denver, CO 80237 303 228 2300 DRAINAGE ANALYSIS Impervious Area The existing development has a ±10,000 sf building, concrete parking lot, and stormwater pond. Please see Appendix B for the Original Drainage Analysis prepared by North Star Design in September 2009. The proposed development conditions of the North Star Design analysis were used as the existing conditions of the proposed analysis. The development met or exceeded all the regulations of the City of Ft. Collins Strom Drainage Design Criteria Manual at the time of approval. The proposed development includes the construction of a communication tower, ground equipment platform, chain-link fence, permeable pavers, and waveguide bridge. The increase in impervious area for the proposed development is limited to the tower, ground equipment platform foundation, chain link fence, permeable pavers, and waveguide bridge foundations. The proposed ground equipment platform will have a grated surface; therefore, will not be included in the impervious calculations. Please see Appendix C for the impervious calculations and the Proposed Development Exhibit depicting the proposed impervious area. The proposed development’s impervious area is shown on the Impervious Table in Appendix D. The “C” values depicted in the in the Impervious Table have been updated based on the latest City of Ft. Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. The Impervious Table shows the proposed improvements will create a very small increase in the percent impervious (less than 1%). It should be noted that the total new impervious area that will be added due to the proposed improvements will be approximately 347 square feet. Per Table 5.0.1 in the Cities Stormwater Criteria Manual this is less than the 350 square feet threshold where a Drainage submittal is required. The improvements do result in a small increase in the “C” values for the 2-yr and 5-yr for the site. The “C” value for the 100-yr does remain unchanged. The discrepancy between the originally approved design and the proposed design is due to the updated City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. Pond Volume The original development of the site completed a Storm Drainage Certification for the pond volume. Please see Appendix E for the Storm Drainage Certification. It is believed that there is a typo in the Storm Drainage Certification in that the provided volume is in cu-ft instead of ac-ft. The As-Built condition of the original development pond provides 909 cu-ft at the water quality elevation and 1,290 cu-ft at the 100-year High Water Elevation (HWEL), which is 213 cu-ft and 334 cu-ft more than the approved design, respectively. The elevations shown on the Proposed Development Exhibit have been taken from a survey prepared by Daley Land Surveying, Inc. dated 3/18/2019. The Daley Land Surveying survey is in the NAVD 88 vertical datum, while the original analysis is in the NGVD 29 vertical datum. The conversion from NAVD 88 to NGVD 29 is NAVD 88 – 2.9’ = NGVD 29. The depicted elevations in Appendix C have been converted to the NGVD 29 vertical datum. Temporary impacts to the pond during construction will have minor impacts to the detention pond side slopes along the west side of the detention pond. These will be restored to match existing grades once construction within the detention pond is completed to ensure the existing detention pond does not reduce the current pond volume. The proposed ground equipment platform is located at the edge of the existing stormwater pond. Appendix C calls out the ground elevation at the center of piers located within the 100-yr water surface elevation Page 3 kimley-horn.com 4582 South Ulster Street, Suite 1500, Denver, Colorado, 80237 303 228 2300 and piers adjacent to the 100-yr water surface elevation. The proposed 2 ft diameter concrete pier at the north east corner and the middle pier along the east side of the platform will encroach the volume provided in the pond. A Volume Encroachment Table has been added to Appendix C to show the volume encroachment of the existing pond. Due to the minimal impact to the pond, the proposed development condition continues to provide sufficient volume at both the Water Quality and 100-year HWEL levels. CONCLUSION The drainage analysis presented in this letter is intended to show that with the above listed assumptions, the proposed conditions are not significantly different from existing conditions and existing infrastructure is not anticipated to be negatively impacted by the proposed improvements.

Hydrologic Soil Group—Larimer County Area, Colorado Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey National Cooperative Soil Survey 7/17/2020 Page 2 of 4 Hydrologic Soil Group Map unit symbol Map unit name Rating Acres in AOI Percent of AOI 74 Nunn clay loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes C 0.7 100.0% Totals for Area of Interest 0.7 100.0% Description Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
