906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage. Report
:. _ � 12�-!li
Basin PB-1 is a large basin containing the western portion of the site. This basin is 2.28
acres and consists of the remaining part of the maintenance shop, the west half of the
proposed road, and the proposed 63 space parking lot and bus shelter. The basin's
fully developed 10-year and 100-year runoff coefficients are 0.67 and 0.84. Drainage
from the basin is expected to be 6.43 cfs and 13.82 cfs for the minor and major storms.
Basin PB-1 is also subject to offsite flow from basin OS-2 that enters Basin PB-1 in the
south by the maintenance shop. This flow is immediately directed into the borrow ditch
of the proposed road. Flow from Basin PB-1 naturally flows eastward toward the
proposed road and will be collected in its borrow ditch. The swale will carry the flow to
the north edge of the site where it will enter a culvert at Design Point 2. The pipe will
-carrythe:flowreastward under the -road ,to:the:detention-pond. The pipwis designed:,
to carry 16.43 cfs and will be 2 ft in diameter with a 1.8% slope.
Basin PC-1 is 0.07 acres and is made up mostly of the proposed asphalt road and
borrow ditch. Its runoff coefficients are 0.82 for the minor storm and 1.00 for the major
storm. The 10-year and 100-year peak flows of the basin are 0.32 cfs and 0.57 cfs,
respectively. Drainage from this basin will flow north in the swale to Design Point 4
where it will be directed east in a swale to Wood Street.
�- _
The 0.18 acres of basin PC-2 contain the remainder of the asphalt road and a channel
directing flow to the detention pond. The basin's 10-year and 100-year runoff
coefficients are 0.72 and 0.90. Anticipated flow from the fully developed basin will be
0.70 cfs for the minor storm and 1.15 cfs for the major storm. Drainage will be carried
by a borrow ditch to the channel that will carry it to the detention pond.
i -�
Basin PDA contains 0.41 acres at the east side of the site. In the basin is a concrete
pan that will be demolished in future phases of development. The remainder of the
basin is gravelly soil. The basin has a Minor storm runoff coefficient of 0.61 and a peak
flow of 1.05 cfs. The major storm runoff coefficient is 0.76 and the peak flow is 2.24 cfs.
Drainage from this basin will join the drainage from Basin PC-1 in the proposed swale
headed towards Wood Street.

Merrick &Company
906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage Report
The 0.73 acres at the northeast corner of the site make up Basin PD-2. This basin
currently consists of just gravelly soil and will experience almost no changes during
development of the site. Its 10-year and 100-year runoff coefficients are 0.50 and 0.63,
respectively. The minor storm flow predicted from this basin is 1.55 cfs and the major
storm flow is 2.63 cfs. These flows will enter the detention pond through the eastern
portion of the proposed channel which is part of Basin PC-2.
E. EROSION CONTROL
1 General Concept ti
A majority of the site currently drains to the onsite detention pond. After future
development is completed, all drainage from the site will be directed to the detention
pond. This site is excluded from wind erosion control requirements because more than
95% of its unprotected surface is covered by gravel particles larger than 2 mm in
diameter. Rainfall erosion will be prevented by minimal disturbance along the shore of
the Mulligan Detention Pond. Hay bales will be placed along the shore of the detention
pond and the north property boundary . Overlot grading will be followed by temporary
seeding, utility installation, curb and gutter placement, and street paving. During
construction hay bales will protect swales. The.proposed development erosion plan will
provide protection in excess of the required effectiveness. Downstream impacts of
runoff will be consistent with historic patterns.
I Specific Details
The 906 Vine Drive site lies within Moderate Wind and Moderate to High Rain
Erodabililty Zones as shown by City of Fort Collins' maps. Soils on the site include a
gravelly surface underlain by clay and well -graded sand. This information is detailed
in the 1995 Geotechnical Engineering Report by Empire Laboratories, Inc. Erosion is
a potential problem during construction and after until exposed soils are revegetated.
Erosion control performance standards were calculated according to crlteria.presented
in the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference manual for Construction Sites.
Temporary seeding will be used for areas that are overlot graded and permanent
seeding will follow final grading. Straw bales will be placed in all erosion -prone swales
before permanent seeding takes place. Outfall velocities will be low enough to prevent
erosion.. Rip -rap or other protection will be provided to prevent scour and bank and
swale erosion.

F. CONCLUSIONS
•Il �. l.. '-• -Il-
The designs and calculations included in this report comply with the 1984 City of Fort
Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria. Hydrologic and hydraulic calculations were
based on accepted practices for the Rational Method as contained in the City of Fort
Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and in the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
Criteria Manual. Calculations of the runoff rates for this project are included in
Appendices 1 and 2 of this report.
I Summant of Drainage ConeW
The existing site currently drains to the northeast to an onsite existing detention pond.
Further development within the subbasin will require that the outfall pipes of both
ponds be enlarged. The proposed development drainage plan will continue that
pattern. Downstream impacts will be consistent with historic flow rates and volumes,
and will meet the requirements of the City of Fort Collins criteria.
A Drainage Plan has been prepared and is included in this report. Included in the
Appendices are calculations to support the channels, and culverts.

A majority of the site drains to the onsite Mulligan Detention Pond. Sediment control
barriers will protect the pond from siltation during construction. Rainfall induced erosion
into the pond will be prevented by trapping of any sediments in the proposed detention
facility. Overlot grading will be followed by temporary seeding, utility installation and
paving. Hay bales will protect swales. The proposed development erosion plan will
provide protection in excess of the required effectiveness and with downstream impacts
consistent with historic patterns. The erosion control plan meets the requirements of
the City of Fort Collins criteria.

906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage Report
A. INTRODUCTION
This report analyzes the drainage impacts of the proposed 906 Vine Drive
improvements. The design considerations for this project are to provide a drainage
system capable of handling runoff generated on the proposed site. In order to
accomplish this, the offsite and onsite drainage areas are studied as they are impacted
by the proposed project. This report was prepared following guidelines and criteria
presented in the "Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and Construction Standards",
1984 and the "Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual" (USDCM), 1992.
L Location
Tahe::projectis,-located in'-the7SW,quarter.of Section:.2 Township 7 North,-Range.69,
West, of the Sixth Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, State of
Colorado. (See Figure 1, page 3 - Vicinity Map) The project site is bounded on the south
by West Vine Drive and on the east by Wood Street. A tributary of the Arthur irrigation
ditch runs north along the western boundary of the property. It is then piped along the
north property line. The site is approximately 4.55 acres.
The 906 West Vine Drive site contains 4.55 gross acres. The site consists of an
existing City of Fort Collins' maintenance and storage yard facility. An asphalt driveway
adjacent to the maintenance shop provides access to West Vine Drive. Presently, this
driveway is the only access to the site. Two wood fram. e buildings are located within the
central portion of the site. An irrigation ditch borders the west side. Most of the site is
overlain by a gravel surface material. Existing vegetation primarily consists of native
grasses and weeds and scattered deciduous and coniferous trees. The soil on the site
is a natural sandy lean clay. The site has moderate wind and moderate to high rain
erodability, is relatively flat except for a drop off on the north side and exhibits drainage
in the north direction. The majority of the property presently drains into the existing
Mulligan Detention Pond at the northeast corner of the site. Although it was designed
for full retention, the Mulligan Pond has an outfall pipe that drains to the recently
constructed Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) Detention Pond to the northeast of the
site. The VMF Detention Pond has an outfall pipe which drains to the Poudre River.
NOTE. The Vehicle Maintenance Facility referred to here is different from the
Maintenance Shop to be remodeled in Phase 1. The VMF is located off the project site
to the north:
Merrick & Company Page 1
906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage Report
The proposed site improvements included in Phase 1 are remodeling the existing
maintenance shop and installing a 25 space parking lot adjacent to it. The asphalt
access driveway will be removed and landscaping will be installed. Also in the Phase
1 development, an asphalt road will be built running directly north from the new parking
lot to the north property line where it will be connected to the Vehicle Maintenance
Facility's parking lot. There is a wood frame building accompanied by a concrete pad
in the path of this proposed road that will therefore be demolished. In future phases,
a bus shelter, a 63 space police car parking lot, and storage facilities will all be
constructed. Also in future phases, two drives will be built off of the development's road
to the east where they will provide access to Wood Street. (See Site Plan)
The developed site will have 10-year and 100-year composite runoff coefficients of 0.63
and 0.79, respectively.

B. HISTORIC DRAINAGE
• r• •r i_,_ •' ' 1 ',
The site is found in the North Tributary Subbasin of the major historic Old Town Basin
in the area described as Sub -basin 10 in the Old Town Basin Drainage Master Plan.
The portion of the major drainage basin in which this project is located is presently
nearly fully developed. Major basin drainage is generally to the north and the east. The
Old Town Basin drains to the Poudre River. The slopes vary across the site from very
shallow to as steep as 17%,. Elevations range from 5005 It on the south to 4988 ft at
the north property line. The site and the drainage basin lie entirely under the
jurisdiction of the City. of Fort Collins.
No flows enter the site from the north. The existing drainage pattern of most of the site
is surface flow draining to the existing Mulligan Detention Pond. No drainage leaves the
site to the south (Refer to the Historic Drainage Basin Map). (See Appendix 1 - Historic
Runoff Calculation).
Offsite Basins
The proposed project will be affected by three small offsite basins. Offsite
basins OS-1 and OS-2 are located to the west of the southwest comer of the
project site, just west of the maintenance building. These basins presently
house single family residences. Both have a developed 10-year runoff
coefficient of 0.50, and a 100-year runoff coefficient of 0.63. Basin OS-3
includes the area of Vine Drive beginning at the existing onsite driveway and
running west 900 feet.
Basin OS-1 is 0.16 acres and has 10 and 100-year peak flows of 0.37 and 0.72
cfs. This runoff flows to the east onto the project site just south of the
maintenance building.
Basin OS-2 has an area of 0.96 acres. The 10 and 100-year peak flows of Basin
OS-2 are 173 and 3.90 cfs. The runoff of the basin enters the site from the west
side to the north of the maintenance building.
Basin OS-3's surface consists completely of asphalt and therefore has a
developed 10-year runoff coefficient of 0.95, and a 100-year runoff coefficient of
1.00. The 10-year and 100-year peak flows of the basin are 2.21 cfs and 3.74
cfs, respectively. Flow from this basin travels east on Vine Drive and enters the
site through the existing asphalt driveway.

906 Vine Street Preliminary -Drainage Report
The site can be divided into two historic basins and three offste historic basins. Onsite
historic basins are designated with an H, and the offsite historic basins are labeled with
OS, (See Figure 1, Appendix 1 - Historic Basin Map).
Historic Basin H-1 contains 2.86 acres and slopes to the north and east. The basin is
defined by natural high point located in its southwest comer. An irrigation ditch runs
along the west side. An asphalt.storage area. enclosed in a 7foot high chain link fence
is located in the west side of the basin along with a 7 foot high dirt pile. Basin H-1 also
-th-gs and concrete pon�surrounding=ahem:.:These:aretall.;.
to be removed in future phases of development. The basin has a 10-year and a 100-
year runoff coefficient of 0.54 and 0.68 respectively. The minor storm peak flow is 5.48
cis and the major storm flow is 12.51 cfs.
Historic Basin H-2 is 1.71 acres and contains the existing maintenance shop and
asphalt driveway. There are also two concrete pans in this basin. This basin has a. 10-
year runoff coefficient and peak flow of 0.64 and 3.43 cfs. The 100-year runoff
coefficient and peak flow are 0.80 and 8.49 cfs, respectively. Drainage from this basin
flows to the north to the Mulligan Detention Pond.
Currently existing on the property is the Mulligan Detention Pond. The pond's volume
is 1.94 acre-feet and its surface area is 0.80 acres. This pond has been designed for
full retention but has an 18 inch outfall pipe to the existing VMF Detention Pond with a.
historic release rate of 5.00 cfs. This pipe has no orifice plate on it. The VMF Detention
Pond has a 12" outfall pipe to the Poudre River. Runoff volume to the Mulligan Pond
was predicted assuming full development of Subbasin 10. The detention pond is large
enough to handle runoff from proposed development on the 906 Vine Drive site.
Further development within the subbasin will require that the outfall pipes of both
ponds be enlarged.
C. DESIGN CRITERIA
a. This report and the analysis and design of the storm drainage facilities for the
906 Vine Drive site are based upon regulations outlined in the City of Fort Collins
Page 5
Merrick & Company
906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage Report
"Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards Manual" May 1984
and Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's "Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Manual", 1989.
b. "Mulfiigan Property Detention Pond Drainage Analysis and Design" prepared by
Lidstone & Anderson, Inc, 1994, was reviewed to assess the condition of the
existing onsite detention pond.
C. Various data sheets and soils reports were used in preparation of this
preliminary drainage report.
Hydrologic Criteria
s. The design rainfalls were determined using the "Rainfall - Intensity - Frequency
for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado" (Graph included in Appendix 1) from the
City's Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual.
b_ . The Rational Method was used for calculation of storm runoff associated with
this development. Overland flow time of concentrations were calculated based
on the "Overland Time Of Flow Curves" (included in Appendix 1) from
UD&FCD's Drainage Criteria Manual. Travel times for channelized flow were
calculated using the "Estimate Of Average Flow Velocity" (included in Appendix
A) also from the UD&.FCD's Criteria Manual.
C. The City of Fort Collins Criteria specifies detention of the 100-year (major) storm
and release at the 2-year historic rate.
d. The Initial (Minor) storm was calculated using the 10-year recurrence interval. for
Light Industrial Land Use as required by the City of Fort Collins' Design Criteria.
The Major storm was calculated using the 100-year recurrence interval.
3. Hydraulic Criteria
a. The culvert pipe hydraulic capacities and swale capacities and design depths
were calculated using Manning's equation. Procedures referred to in UD&FCD's
Drainage criteria Manual were followed_.
D. DRAINAGE PLAN
General Concept
This drainage design is based on the 10-year recurrence interval storm for the initial
storm, and the 100-year recurrence interval storm for the major storm. Proposed site
Merrick & Company Page 6
906 Vine Street Preliminary Drainage Report
improvements will direct the offsite flows through the site by means of culverts and
graded channels. The developed onsite flows will be directed into the graded channels
where they will flow to the Mulligan Detention Pond. Disturbance and grading around
the irrigation ditch and the detention pond will be minimal.
2, fipPcifiaDetails
The site has been divided into seven primary onsite basins and three offsite basins.
(See included Preliminary Drainage Plan). Primary basins are designated with a P, and
the offsite basins are labeled with OS.
Basin PA-1 consists of the southeastern pari of the site 5y Vine Drive. Basin PA-,
contains 0.84 acres and contains part of the maintenance shop that is to be remodeled.
Also, the 25 space parking lot with curb and gutter and landscaping are proposed for
development in Basin PA-1. The proposed 10-year and 100-year runoff coefficients for
the basin are 0.64 and 0.80. The basin is anticipated to create a developed peak flow
for the minor storm of 2.21 cfs and 4.82 cfs for the major storm.
The parking Lot will slope in from the sides to a cross pan that will run northward with a
1 % grade. This cross pan will carry flow generated in Basin PA-1 as well as flow
entering the site from Offsite Basin. s OS-1 and OS-3. Flow from Basin OS-1 will be
directed eastward through a small swale between the maintenance shop and a berm
running east along Vine Drive. Drainage from Basin OS-3 will enter Basin PA-1 from
Vine Drive, be piped under the berm, and continue to flow north to join the flow in the
crosspan of the parking lot. The flow collected in the cross pan will be directed into the
curb and gutter along the parking lot entrance and then into a swale at Design Point 1
that will flow eastward to Wood Street. The existing swale to the west of Wood Street
will carry the flow to the detention pond.
Basin PA-2
Basin PA-2 contains 0.040 acres and has 10-year and 100-year runoff coefficients of
0.84 and 1.00, respectively. The 10-year developed flow for this basin is oil cfs and
the 100-year flow is 0.29 cfs at Design Point 5. The basin will be developed as a road
leading west from the new parking lot to the proposed road. The road will have a 2%
crown and flow will be directed from its center into a graded swale along the north side
of the basin. The drainage collected in the swale will flow eastward into the swale
carrying the flow of Basin PA-1 to Wood Street.
