GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
SITE DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The project site is situated in the southeast quarter of Section 12, Township 6 North, Range 69
West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, in the State of
Colorado. The property consists of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 of the Heart of the Rockies Second
Subdivision, dated June 9, 1999. Heartside Hill is located within Lot 2, at the northwest corner
of the intersection of S. Lemay Ave. and E. Trilby Rd. Lot 1 contains the existing Heart of the
Rockies Christian Church. It is bounded by private residential lots to the north and west, E.
Trilby Rd. to the south, and S Lemay Ave to the east.
The existing church facilities are anticipated to remain. The site area is currently undeveloped
and is approximately 8.84 acres. The development would consist of up to 64 CARE Housing for
rent apartment units ([1] 8-unit with an attached clubhouse, [4] 8-unit and [2] 12-unit
buildings), 9 Habitat for Humanity (H4H) single-family detached lots, 2 L’arche group homes,
and a planned shared community center to be designed and constructed at a future date. The
project is anticipated to be completed in a single phase.
The project site generally slopes from the southwest to the northeast at approximately 4%
toward an existing pond at the northeast of the property. Storm runoff is currently conveyed
from a grate inlet in the pond to a ditch along the east side of the property and into the existing
storm drain sewer. The existing project site is approximately 0.0% impervious. No wetlands are
located within the area of proposed development.
The project site is not located within the FEMA floodway or floodplain and is within the non-
printed FEMA FIRM panel 08069C1200F, effective 12/19/2006. The site is also not located
within the City of Fort Collins floodplain.
The proposed development includes eight multi-family buildings with a clubhouse along with
eleven low income housing lots. The required parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, and open
space are also included in the development. A rain garden is proposed to provide the
stormwater quality enhancement requirement as a low impact development technique.
The site was previously analyzed within the “Drainage Investigation for Heart of the Rockies
Christian Church,” prepared by Messner Engineering, Inc., dated June 29, 1999.

SITE SOILS
The Heatside Hill project site consists primarily of Renohill clay loam and a small portion of
Longmont clay and are both classified as Type D hydrologic group. According to USDA/Natural
Resource Conservation Group, Type D soils a have very slow infiltration rate when thoroughly
wet. These soils 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 also have a very slow rate of water
transmission.
Per the “Preliminary Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration Report, Proposed Residential
Development Lots 1 and 2, Heart of the Rockies Second Subdivision”, prepared by Soilogic, Inc.
dated August 13, 2021:
“The subsurface materials encountered in the completed site borings were quite variable across
the site, but generally consisted of a thin mantle of vegetation and topsoil underlain by
brown/beige/rust lean clay with varying amounts of sand. A portion of the near-surface lean
clay encountered at the location of boring B-2 extending to a depth of about 3 to 4 feet below
ground surface was somewhat mottled in color, appeared to contain bedrock fragments and
was identified as possible existing fill material which may have been placed to develop present
site grade. In general, the lean clay varied from medium stiff to very stiff in terms of consistency,
exhibited variable swell potential (ranging from none to very high) at current moisture and
density conditions and extended to depths between 2½ to 18 feet below present site grade,
where it was underlain by brown/olive/beige/gray/rust interbedded claystone/siltstone/
sandstone bedrock of varying composition. The bedrock varied from weathered to very hard in
terms of hardness, also exhibited variable swell potential (ranging from low to high) at in-situ
moisture and density conditions and extended to the bottom of each boring at depths ranging
from approximately 15 to 30 feet below present site grades. In general, we judge the bedrock
unit underlying the site to possess moderate to high swell potential overall.”
Groundwater was also observed during the subsurface soil exploration:
“Groundwater was measured in borings B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-6 at depths between about 13 and
27 feet below ground surface, but was not encountered in any of the remaining site borings to
the depths explored when checked immediately after completion of drilling. When checked
seven (7) days after drilling, groundwater was measured in all borings with the exception of
boring B-3 at depths between about 5 and 15 feet below ground surface. The ground surface in
the area of boring B-3 had been disturbed, such that subsequent groundwater level
measurements could not be completed.”

STORM DRAINAGE CRITERIA
This preliminary drainage report was prepared to meet or exceed the City of Fort Collins
Stormwater Criteria Manual. The Criteria Manual and amendments to the Urban Drainage
Flood Control District’s (UDFCD) Drainage Criteria Manual (USDCM) Volumes 1, 2 and 3 were
referenced as guidelines for this design.
HYDROLOGIC CRITERIA
The rational method was performed to calculate the peak runoff rates for each basin. Percent
imperviousness and runoff coefficients were calculated for each basin using the surface
characteristics of each basin. The time of concentration was calculated using City of Fort Collins
initial time of concentration and the intensity was calculated using the corresponding storm
rainfall depth and the City of Fort Collins’ Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curve. The City of Fort
Collins area has a 2-yr, 1-hr rainfall depth of 0.82 inches and a 100-yr, 1-hr rainfall depth of 2.86
inches. These depths do account for the 1999 adjusted rainfall depths.
HYDRAULIC CRITERIA
The final Heartside Hill storm drainage system will been designed to convey the minor and
major storm events through the combination of private drives, storm sewer pipes and swales.
Runoff flows determined with the rational method will be attenuated through the site. Inlet
capacities will be calculated using UDFCD’s spreadsheet UD-Inlet_v4.05.xlsm.
The Autodesk Hydraflow Express program will be used to compute the open channel hydraulics
and check the capacities of the drainage swales throughout the site. Flow velocities within
these swales will be reviewed and where flows are found to be supercritical, the swales will be
lined with turf reinforcement mat.
All swale and pipe outlets will be protected with riprap or suitable erosion protection methods.
Storm sewer pipe outlets will be protected using the requirements set by the USDCM for the
protection downstream of culverts.
All supporting calculations are located in the Appendix.
Page 4
DRAINAGE BASINS
The Heartside Hill developed drainage basins are delineated by areas draining through the site.
The drainage basins are placed to limit the runoff flowing from the site into Brittany Street. The
site is broken into 10 main drainage systems:
Drainage Basin D1:
Drainage Basin D1 has an approximate area of 4.13 acres and is approximately 48.5%
impervious. This basin consists of a portion of the existing church property and building, the
future community center, the H4H single-family lots, the CARE Bldg 1 and clubhouse, and park
and open space. Runoff is conveyed via swales to a curb cut and is conveyed through Rain
Garden D1 to detention Pond D.
Drainage Basin D2:
Drainage Basin D2 has an approximate area of 4.26 acres and is approximately 41.2%
impervious. This basin consists of seven of the low income housing lots, private drives, parking
areas, and detention Pond D. Runoff is conveyed to Pond D via swales, culverts and curb &
gutter.
Drainage Basin OS1:
Drainage Basin OS1 pertains to the drainage from the existing improvements in Lot 1. This basin
has an approximate area of 2.03 acres and is approximately 65.0% impervious. This basin
consists of half of the existing church building, private drives, parking areas, and open space.
Runoff is conveyed via roadways to a swale and to Rain Garden OS1 and ultimately to detention
Pond D.
Page 5
DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
DRAINAGE CONVEYANCE DESIGN
Storm infrastructure to convey runoff will include swales, inlets, and storm sewer pipes.
Stormwater detention and water quality enhancement are achieved through the use of
detention Pond D and Rain Garden D1.
DETENTION/WATER QUALITY POND DESIGN
An extended detention basin, Detention Pond D, will be utilized as the detention and water
quality facility for Heartside Hill. For the preliminary drainage study, the FAA method was used
to determine the detention volume needed. UDFCD is referenced for the standard water
quality capture volume (WQCV) with a 40-hr drain time. Below is a brief summary of the
proposed design for the pond:
Pond D:
Extended detention basin for both Lots 1 and 2 with standard water quality treatment. A 100-yr
orifice plate maximizes volume in the pond and restricts release rate into the existing
stormwater system. The existing 100-yr release rate into the existing stormwater system is 13.2
cfs according to the Drainage Investigation for Heart of the Rockies Christian Church, prepared
by Messner Engineering, Inc (Revised June 29, 1999). The 100-yr water surface elevation is
4911.17 feet, with a maximum depth in the pond of 3.42 feet. During an event that exceeds the
100-yr storm, or the pond outlet should be obstructed, overtopping will occur along on the east
side of the pond into Lemay Ave.
Page 6
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
The City of Fort Collins updated the Low Impact Development ordinance in 2016 (Ordinance No.
007, 2016) to require:
· Treat at least 75% of any newly developed or redeveloped impervious area using one or
a combination of LID techniques, or
· Treat at least 50% of any newly developed or redeveloped impervious area using one or
a combination of LID techniques when 25% of private driveable surfaces are permeable.
To satisfy the required implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, Heartside
Hill utilizes two (2) a bioretention ponds, Rain Garden D1 and Rain Garden OS1. Due to site
constraints and the inability to treat the required amount of newly developed impervious area,
the Rain Garden D1 is designed to treat a portion of the newly developed impervious area able
to be directed to the bioretention pond, and Rain Garden OS1 is designed to treat the existing
church impervious area. The rain gardens are is designed to treat the total drainage area being
directed to the rain garden. The result is that the rain garden treats 113.3% of the impervious
area required to be treated. The water quality capture volume provided within the LID features
Rain Garden D1 is 2,422 cu-ft, and within Rain Garden OS1 is 1,500 cu-ft. Standard water quality
capture volume is 0.08 ac-ft, treating the remaining area that is directed to Pond D.
Below is a description of the 4-step process for selecting structural BMPs:
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).
Captured runoff from strategic areas are routed through bioretention pond/rain gardens. Rain
gardens will slow runoff, promote infiltration, and filter runoff prior to being released into the
adjacent storm drain system.
Step 2: Implement BMPs that Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume with Slow Release
Page 7
The bioretention pond/rain gardens are designed to provide water quality capture volume per
Urban Drainage’s recommendations and calculations. The captured runoff is designed for a 12-
hr drain time.
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 the site will
drain to an existing storm system, bank stabilization is unnecessary with this project.
Step 4: Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs
The proposed project will improve upon site specific source controls compared to historic
conditions by providing localized trash enclosures within the development for disposal of solid
waste; a rain garden for water treatment prior to flows entering storm systems; and additional
water quality measures to protect and prolong the design life of BMPS delineated in Step 1.
All calculations are attached for reference.
Page 8
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION
Erosion and sedimentation will be controlled on-site by use of sediment control logs, inlet
protection, and gravel construction entrances. The measures are designed to limit the overall
sediment yield increase due to construction as required by the City of Fort Collins. During
overlot and final grading the soil will be roughened and furrowed perpendicular to the
prevailing winds.
During the performance of the work required by these specifications or any operations
appurtenant thereto, whether on right-of-way provided by the City or elsewhere, the
contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, materials, and means required. The Contractor
shall carry out proper efficient measures wherever and as necessary to reduce dust nuisance,
and to prevent dust nuisance that has originated from his operations from damaging crops,
orchards, cultivated fields, and dwellings, or causing nuisance to persons. The Contractor will be
held liable for any damage resulting from dust originating from his operations under these
specifications on right-of-way or elsewhere.
It is unlawful to track or cause to be tracked mud or other debris onto public streets or rights-
of-way. Wherever construction vehicles access routes or intersect paved public roads,
previsions must be made to minimize the transport of sediment by runoff or vehicles tracking
onto the paved surface. Stabilized construction entrances are required with base material
consisting of 6” coarse aggregate. The contractor will be responsible for clearing mud tracked
onto public streets on a daily basis.
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control practices must be maintained and
repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Maintenance
is the responsibility of the contractor.
All disturbed areas must be seeded and mulched within 30 days of project start. Vegetation
shall not be considered established until a ground cover is achieved which is demonstrated to
be mature enough to control soil erosion to the satisfaction of the City Inspector and to survive
severe weather condition.

CONCLUSIONS
This Preliminary Drainage Report for Heartside Hill has been prepared to comply with the
stormwater criteria set by the City of Fort Collins. The proposed drainage system will be
designed to convey the developed peak 100-yr storm water runoff through the site to the
proposed detention pond, and ultimately to the existing storm system. Drainage conveyance
systems will be designed to convey drainage to the proposed roadways and collect onsite
drainage and treat it in accordance with LID requirements before discharging it into the
proposed detention pond. This preliminary drainage report anticipates the implementation of
best management practices for erosion control, temporary and permanent, and on-site
construction facilities.
It can therefore be concluded that development of Heartside Hill will comply with the storm
water jurisdictional criteria and the approved City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual
and will not adversely affect the adjacent properties, streets, storm drain system and/or
detention/water quality facilities.

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.
