Department: Stormwater Engineering
Contact: Heather McDowell, 970-224-6065, hmcdowell(a�fcgov.com
1. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Fossil Creek Master Drainage Plan as
well the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. The drainage design for this existing site was originally done as
part of the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton CatholicChurch PUD.
RESPONSE: Several oltler tlrainage reports were reviewed as part of design. Proposed tlesign conforms to the
Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. The original drainage design was prepared prior to the adoption of the
Fossil Creek Master Drainage Plan. After conversations with Stormwater Engineering, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
site will be grandfathered with regard to site release rates, and will not conform to release rate criteria found in the
Fossil Creek M�ster Drainage P(an.
2. A drainage report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared bya Professional Engineer
registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage report must address the four-step process for selecting structural
BMPs.
RESPONSE: A cover sheet, standard notes and details, utility plan, site plan, and grading and erosion control plan
are provided A drainage report is also provided and d�scusses the four-step process
3. It is impo�tant to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and fees are based on new
impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas
is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit.
RESPONSE: Total new impervious area is provided and tliscussed in drainage report, as this affects the existing
tletention pond and rain garden Existing site impervious area is provided for reference.
4. The erosion control report requirements are in Section 1.3.3, Volume 3, Chapter 7 of theFort Collins Stormwater
Criteria Manual. If you need clarification concerning this section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse
Schlam at 224-6015 orjschlam@fcgov.com.
RES�'ONSE: Preliminary erosion control and water quality is discussetl in the provided drainage report. At this tir�e
expected disturbance is around 1 acre, so a separate SWMP will neetl to be prepared to meet Ft. Collins
requirements, and also is likely needetl to meet State requirements.
5. When improvements are proposed to an existing developed site and there is an increase in impervious area
Page 2 of 8
. •
greater than 1000 square feet, onsite detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate for water quantity. In
the Fossil Creek basin the 2-year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre.
RESFON�E impro�dernents a�e propose� �n rf,e �xisting developed site that do exceed � 00� square feet An
existing detention pond and outlet structure has already been constructed. Based on the review of previous
drainage designs, the outlet structure and pipe have restricted the release rate from the site to 12 cfs. The proposed
impervious improvements will drain to the existing detention pond; and the release from the site will not exceed 12
cfs.
6. Please note that the original detention pond design for this site was likely done using old rainfall data. Therefore,
the entire site and detention pond will need to be re-analyzed and brought into compliance utilizing current rainfall
data. Also, stormwater conveyance fromthe storm pipe at Seton Street and Lemay will need to be maintained
through this site with any site improvements or grading modifications made to the site. This drainage conveyance will
also need to be in an easement if it isn'talready.
RESPONSE: Page 5 of the 2003 Parish Cer,ter Drainage report has the following sentences, "The 1998 report
documented a 100-year dhischarge of 12.4 cfs from the detention pond for the proposed condition (which is
considered as the existing condition for the current analysis). For the existing condition analysis the only
modification to the previous modeling was the inclusion of the updated rainfall hyetograph....Table 4 provides the
1998 results, and the currer�t ex s`�-�� a��r� ;vr�.�csc��! condition res�.�".s " It appears the rainfal! data uvas �apdated in
the 20�J3 drainage report
7. Fifty percent of the site runoff is required to be treated using the standard water quality treatment as described in
the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual, Volume 3-Best Management Practices (BMPs).
(http://www.fcgov.comlutilities/business/builders-and-developers/development-forms-guitleli nes-
regulations/stormwater-criteria) Extended tletention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment;
however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.
I?�SFGNS� M«ch mc�e than 50°�� af'h� s�t� drains to the existing tletention pond which includes a WQCV and
autlet struciure
8. Low Impact Development (LID) requirements are required on all new or redeveloping property which includes
sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use
Cotle. These require a higher degree of water quality treatment with one of the two following options:
a. 50°/a of the newly addetl or modified impervious area must be treated by LID techniques and 25% of new paved
areas must be pervious.
b. 75% of all newly added or modified impervious area must be treated by LlDtechniques.
RESPONSE: A rain gar�en is proposed and has been sized based on UD�CD spreadsheets. Due to the nature
and configuration of the proposed improvements, it was not practical to treat the new impervious areas with an LID
feature. So, and area-swap has been proposed, and the proposed rain garden intercepts runoff from the parking lot
east of the church, which has more impervious area than the proposetl improvements
9. There will be a final site inspection of the stormwater facilities when the project is complete and the maintenance
is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization, Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for on-going
maintenance of all onsite drainage facilities will be included as part of the Development Agreement. More information
and links can be found at:
http:l/www.fcqov.comlutilities/wh at-we-do/stormwate rlstormwater-q ua lity/low-im pact-develop ment
RESPONSE Acknowledged, but there should no� be any change i� managemen;
10. Per Colorado Revised Statute §37-92-602 (8) effective August 5, 2015, criteria regarding detention drain time
will apply to this project. As part of the drainage design, the engineer will be required to show compliance with this
statute using a standard spreatlsheet (available on request) that will need to be includetl in the drainage report.
Upon completion of the project, the engineer will also be required to upload the approved spreadsheet onto the
Statewide Compliance Portal. This will apply to any volume based stormwater storage, including extended detention
basins.

11. The 2016 city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $8,217/acre for new impervious area over 350 square
feet and there is a$1,045/acre of site review fee. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to
be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found at:
http://www.fcgov.com/utilitieslbusinesslbuilders-and-developerslplant-investment-developme nt-fees or contact our
Utility Fee and Rate Specialists at (970) 416-4252 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow
required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the
design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area, cost of the measures, or a minimum amount in
accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Manual.

3. FIRE LANES
Before an accurate assessment of fire access requirements can be completed, more information as to the building
addition's height will be needed. In general, fire access is required to within 150' of all e�erior portions of any
building, or facility as measured by an approved route around the perimeter. For the purposes of this section, fire
access cannot be measured from an arterial road (S Lemay Ave), but may be measured from a collector (Southridge
Greens Blvd), as well as from any fire lanes internal to the site. If a fire lane has not been previously provided on this
property, one will be needed at this time, along with fire lane signage. Any private drive serving as a fire lane shall be
dedicated as an Emergency Access Easement (EAE) and be designed to standard fire lane specifications.
Rc�FONSE ���n�wlecged.
The existing site condition puts the building perimeter out of fire access by approximately 250'. The proposed
builtling adtlition will extend the out-of-access condition to approximately
475'. The design team will need to explore options that could help to mitigate perimeter access, In addition, aerial
apparatus access requirements are triggered for buildings in excess of 30' in height. Code language and fire lane
speciflcations provided below.
