Grading/Stormwater Plan Accepted
(Building Permit Released)
Accepted by: Dan Mogen
Date: 08/24/2022
The purpose of this letter is to describe the proposed site improvements and potential drainage
impacts at 512 Peterson Street (Exhibit A). The 0.22-acre project site is a developed single-family
residential lot with established landscaping located o�z the east side of Peterson Street between East
Mulberry Street and East Myrtle Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. The site is located within the Old
Town drainage basin. Current conditions at the site include a single-story house, detached garage,
concrete patio, concrete walkways, established trees, and a concrete and gravel driveway.
The lot is bound by existing single-family residential properties on the north and south lot lines,
Peterson Street right-of-way to the west, and a dirt alley way to the east. Per the NRCS Soil Survey
of Larinler County (Exhibit B), the site entirely consists of Fort Collins loam and is classified as
being within hydrologic soil group C. These soils are anticipated to have a slow infiltration rate
when thoroughly wet and a slow rate of water transmission.
Per the flood insurance rate map, the lot is located within Zone X. Zone X is defined as an area of
minimal flood hazard and does not have a base flood elevation associated with it. Also, the site is
outside of all City of Fort Collins mapped floodplains. (E�ibit C)
Historically, site stormwater for the front portion of the site has drained with gentle slopes from the
east to west into Peterson Street right-of-way (historic basin A). The rear portion of the lot, when
not infiltrated into established landscaping, has drained with gentle slopes towards the alley
(lustoric basin B). Based on field inspections, the alley appears to drain south towards Myrtle
Sh eet right-of-way. Historic and developed drainage basins are shown in Exhibit D.
No improvements are proposed in drainage basin A and the divide between the basins will not
change; therefore, historic and developed drainage basins are the same size and no runoff increases
are proposed in basin A. The proposed site iinproveinents in drainage basin B include a single-
story garage with gravel driveway access off the alley. A proposed concrete pathway shall be
extended from the existing garage to the new garage entrance on the west side. Both garage roof

drains are proposed to drain west, into 55-gallon rain barrels (two total).
Where possible, impervious areas and downspouts shall be routed into pervious areas with
landscaping to allow for project stormwater infiltration and increased water quality with site
runof£ Since the lot's total adjusted impervious area increase is below 5,000 square feet (s�, water
quantity detention requirements ai-e not required for this development.

Adjusted Site Imperviousness 878
The total site imperviousness is 44%, which is less than the 50% allowed within the Old Town
drainage basin master plan (ICON Engineering 2017).
The composite runoff coefficient and drainage basin runoff calculations for the historic and
developed site are included in the enclosed tables (Exhibit E). Using the Fort Collins Stormwater
Criteria Manual (2018), the proposed stoimwater runoff from the site wi11 increase with
development as indicated in the suinmary table below.
2-year 10-year 100-year
Basin A Historic & Developed Runoff 0.02 cfs 0.04 cfs 0.09 cfs
Basin B Historic Runoff 0.11 cfs 0.19 cfs 0.52 cfs
Basin B Developed Runoff 0.16 cfs 0.28 cfs 0.77 cfs
The drainage design proposed with this project will limit potential damage associated with its
proposed stormwater runof£ The site will detain pervious areas converted to impervious areas to
release close to the existing 2-year rate. The 2-year peak runoff rate for drainage basin B is
0.72 cfs/acre. This release rate was utilized in the FAA procedure detention storage coinputations
(Exhibit E). From these calculations, the site produces an excess runoff detention volume of
45 cubic feet (334 gallons) of required storage capacity over the existing site due to the proposed
increase m site �mperviousness.
CDS Engineering Corporation (2022) completed field investigations at the site, which included a
boring drilled to 12 ft below ground surface. Groundwater was not observed during investigations
and subsurface conditions were observed to consist of clay soils. Since use of dry wells for
stormwater management is only feasible where subsoil is suf�ciently permeable, infiltration is not
a viable option with this site.
Beginning in 2016, Coloradoans have been allowed a maximum of two rain barrels with a
combined siorage of ll 0 gallons or less. With the use of two rain barrels on the new garage
downspouts, the site will detain approximately one-third of the required runoff. Any potential rain
barrel overflow shall drain into proposed grass swales directed towards landscaping improvements
and lot lines, which naturally drain towards the alley.

Page 3 of 5 August 22, 2022
Based on visual inspections of the alley, it is my professional opinion proposed improvements
presented in this drainage memo will not negatively impact downstream private properties adjacent
to the alley before draining into East Myrtle Street right-of-way to the south.
Based on the enclosed design, it is iny professional opinion the additional runoff generated by
these site improvements will not cause adverse impacts to downstream private properties.
I hereby attest that this letter for the final drainage design for 512 Peterson Street was prepared
by me or under my direct supervision, in accordance with the provisions of the Fort Collins
Stormwater Criteria ManuaL I understand that the City of Fort Collins does not and will not
assume liability for drainage facilities designed by others.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this drainage memo. Please do not hesitate to reach out
to me if you have any questions or comments regarding the above iteins.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

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.

Aggregation Method: Dominant Condition

Aggregation is the process by which a set of component attribute values is
reduced to a single value that represents the map unit as a whole.
A map unit is typically composed of one or more "components". A component is
either some type of soil or some nonsoil entity, e.g., rock outcrop. For the
attribute being aggregated, the first step of the aggregation process is to derive
one attribute value for each of a map unit's components. From this set of
component attributes, the next step of the aggregation process derives a single
value that represents the map unit as a whole. Once a single value for each map
unit is derived, a thematic map for soil map units can be rendered. Aggregation
must be done because, on any soil map, map units are delineated but
components are not.
For each of a map unit's components, a corresponding percent composition is
recorded. A percent composition of 60 indicates that the corresponding
component typically makes up approximately 60% of the map unit. Percent
composition is a critical factor in some, but not all, aggregation methods.
The aggregation method "Dominant Condition" first groups like attribute values
for the components in a map unit. For each group, percent composition is set to
the sum of the percent composition of all components participating in that group.
These groups now represent "conditions" rather than components. The attribute
value associated with the group with the highest cumulative percent composition
is returned. If more than one group shares the highest cumulative percent
composition, the corresponding "tie-break" rule determines which value should
be returned. The "tie-break" rule indicates whether the lower or higher group
value should be returned in the case of a percent composition tie. The result
returned by this aggregation method represents the dominant condition
throughout the map unit only when no tie has occurred.
Component Percent Cutoff.� None Specified
Components whose percent composition is below the cutoff value will not be
considered. If no cutoff value is specified, all components in the database will be
considered. The data for some contrasting soils of minor extent may not be in the
database, and therefore are not considered.
Tie-break Rule: Higher
The tie-break rule indicates which value should be selected from a set of multiple
candidate values, or which value should be selected in the event of a percent
composition tie.

SCOPE
1�his report presents the results of our geotechnical exploration for the proposed detached
garage to be located at the project site. The building is anticipated to be of typical wood frame
construction. Slab-on-grade construction is anticipated for this structure.
This exploration was conducted to provide recommendations pertaining to the type and
depth of foundation system, allowable soil bearing pressures, groundwater conditions, and to
identify any complications that may be encountered during or after construction due to subsurface
conditions.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client for the project discussed.
If the building location or the scope of the project should change, CDS L='ngineering shall be
notified prior to construction to review the report and provide alternate recommendations if
deemed necessary. Additional borings may be required to provide the alternate recommendations.
Additional fees may apply.
SITE INVESTIGATION
The field investigation perfonned on February 14, 2022, consisted of drilling, logging, and
sampling one (1) test boring within the approximate building envelope at the site. The boring was
drilled to a depth of twelve (12) feet. The location of the 'l�est Hole is shown on Figure No. 1.
The boring location was established by a representative of CDS Engineering Corporation
based on locations provided by the client. A graphical log of the boring is shown on Figure No.
3. T'he descriptions of the soils and/or bedrock strata are based, primarily, on visual and tactual
methods which are subject to interpretation.
The test boring was advanced using a truck mounted, four (4) inch diameter, continuous
flight auger drill rig. Laboratory samples were obtained by driving a two and one-half (2'/2) inch
diameter California-type, split barrel sampler twelve (12) inches (or as shown) into undisturbed
soils with a 140-pound hammer falling thirty (30) inches. Ba�; samples of auger cuttings may have
also been collected.
Laboratory tests performed were - Swell-Consolidation, Natural Moisture and Natural Dry
Densities. All tests were c�nducted in accordance with AS"1�M standards. A Summary of the
2
Swell-Consolidation Test Resulis is shown on Pigure No. 4. A Summary of Test Results is shown
on Table No. 1.
ITE LOCATION AND DESCRIP"I'ION
The site is located in Fort Collins, south of East Mulberry Street, north of East Myrtle Street
and on the east side of Peterson Street, Larimer County, Colorado. The site is in a developed urban
subdivision with paved roads and utilities, and vegetation consists primarily of sod and trees. The
site is relatively t1at. An existing house and detached garage are located on this property.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Based on the boring drilled within the proposcd building footprint, the subsurface
conditions at the site consist of clay.
Groundwater levels were recorded after completion of the drilling operations. During our
tield exploration groundwater was not encountered in the test boring. The groundwater table
should be expected to fluctuate throughout the year depending on seasonal moisture variations.
Refer to the Log of Borings, Figure No. 3, for additional details specific to each boring.
Although evidence of underground facilities such as, but not limited to, septic tanks/fields,
cesspools, cisterns, foundations, utilities or mining operations were not observed during our
exploration, such features could be encountered during construction. If unexpected fill or
underground facilities are encountered, proper remediati�n should be taken. Alternate
recommendations, other than those provided in this report, may be required.
FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The type of foundation best suited for a particular building site is dependent not only on
the characteristics of the soil and rock but also depends on the type of structure, depth to
groundwater, the proposed depth of excavation, and owner preference. The recommendations that
follow are primarily based on the type of soil or bedrock encountered.
Based on the conditions observed in the field and laboratory tests, we recommend the
foundation be a continuous spread footing and isolated pad foundation.
3
Continuous Spread Footin� and Isolated Pad Foundation
The foundation should be a continuous spread footing and isolated pad foundation designed
for a maximum allawable bearing capacity of 1500 pounds per square foot (dead load plus full
live load) and a minimum dead load kept as high as practical to help counteract the swelling
should the subsoils become wetted. The foundation is to bear on the native, undisturbed clays,
and not on unapproved fill, topsoil, or frozen ground. The bottom of all foundation components
should be kept at least thirty (30) inches (or per local code) below finished grade for frost
protection. The open excavation should not be lefi open for an extended period of time or
exposed to adverse weather conditions. Excessive wetting or drying of the excavation shauld
be avoided during construction. Excavations that are inundated with water may soften and
require re-compaction, or removal, of the exposed subgrade soils. The completed open
excavation should be observcd by a representative of CDS Engineering Corporation in order
to verify the subsurface conditions from test-hole data.
LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Lateral earth pressures are forces exerted on earth retaining structures and foundation
components, by the soil. The pressure exerted is influenced by wetting of the backfill soils, type
and compaction of the backfill and the methods used to compact the backfill. For the soils, above
the free groundwater surface at this site, we recommend the foundation components be designed
using the following equivalent fluid pressures.
• Active Pressure = 35 pcf
• At Rest Pressure = 50 pcf
These values assume that the positive drainage will be maintained throughout the life of
the structure. It is our opinion that the on-site soils encountered could be used as backfill inaterial
against foundation walls. The soils shall be moisture conditioned and well pulverized so that all
fragments are smaller than six (6) inches. Refer to Appendix 1 for additional backfill information.
If there is opportunity for the backfill soils to becoine saturated, we shall be notified to revise the
minimum equivalent fluid density. Thesc values do not include a factor of safety or take into
account any surcharge loading.
4
SLAB CONSTRUCTION
Changes in the moisture contents may result in consolidation or swelling of the subsoil,
resulting in differential slab movement. The soils encountered and tested at this site exhibit no
swell potential as moisture contents are increased. According to the Guideline for Slab
Perfi�rmance Risk Evaluation and Residential Basement Floor System Recommendations,
developed by the Colorado Association of Geotechnical Cngineers, slab performance risk at this
site would be considered low. Slabs placed on the native, unaltered soils at this site may experience
slight heaving and cracking, but should not be excessive.
If slabs-on-grade are chosen and the owner is willing to accept the risks of potential damage
from slab movement, slabs should be constructed to be "free-floating" and isolated from all
structural members ofthe foundation, utility lines, and partition walls. There should be a minimum
two (2) inch void constructed below partition walls located over slabs-on-grade. The void should
be increased to four (4) inches for slabs placed on potentially expansive bedrock stratum.
Eliminate under-slab plumbing where feasible. Where such plumbing is unavoidable, it should be
pressure tested before and after slab construction to minimize leaks which would result in wetting
of the subsoil. Failure to allow the slab to float independently could result in functional, structural,
architectural, and utility line damage. All slabs should be scored into maximum 225 square foot
areas or maximum dimensions of tifteen (15) feet with a minimum depth of one (1) inch to localize
and control any cracking due to heaving. Any slabs less than thirty (30) square feet should be
scored at least once in each direction. The minimum slab thickness should be four (4) inches, with
four (4) inches of clean, washed gravel under the slab. Slabs should be reinforced with welded
wire fabric, or equivalent, to help control cracking and separation. Fiber mesh shall not be
considered an equivalent substitute for the welded wire fabric. Slab-on-grade areas should not be
tinished for at least two (2) years (preferably three (3) to five (5) years) from the time of substantial
completion, to allow for initial movement.
CONCLUSIONS
The soils encountered at this site exhibit no swell potential as moisture contents are
increased. Future owners should be cautioned of the risk oPdamage caused by the introduction of
5
excess water to the soils. All new and future owners should be directed to those items under "Post-
Construction Site Preparation and Maintenance" in Appendix 1, included in this report. Our
experience lias shown that damage to foundations usually results from saturation of the foundation
soils caused by improper drainage, excessive irrigation, poorly compacted backfills, and leaky
water and sewer lines. The elimination of the potential sources of excessive water will greatly
minimize the risks of moveinent at this site. Homeowners must assume responsibility for
maintaining positive drainage around the structure and incorporating appropriate landscaping that
will not interfere with the positive drainage. It is recommended that a copy or summary of this
report be provided to any new or future owners of this property. A copy of A Guide to .Swelling
Soils for Colorado Homebuyers and Homeowner.s, Colorcrdu Geologicul Survey Special
Publicution 43 should also be provided to any new or future owners of the property.
The findings and recommendations of this report have been obtained in accordance with
accepted professional engineering practices in the field of Geotechnical Engineering. However,
standard Geotechnical Engineering practices and related government regulations are subject to
change. The recommendations provided in this report are for the exclusive use of our client and
are not valid for use by others. If the construction takes place approximately three (3) years beyond
the date of this report, we should be contacted to review the information with regard to updated
governmcntal requirements or industry standards. Additional fees may apply. There is no other

APPENDIX 1
POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE PREPARA'I'ION AND MAINTENANCE
Backfill
When encountering potentially expansive or consolidating soils, measures should be taken to
prevent the soil from being wetted during and after construction. Generally, this can be
accomplished by ensuring only minimal settlement of the backfill placed around the foundation
walls. It should be understood that some backfill settlement is normal and should be anticipated.
Areas that do settle should be repaired immediately to prevent ponding around the foundation.
Water may need to be added to backfill material to allow proper compaction -- do not puddle or
saturate. Backfill should be mechanically compacted to at least 90% of Standard Proctor.
Compaction requirements could be veritied with tield tests by tlle F;ngineer. It is the contractor's
responsibility to contact the engineer for such tests.
Surface Draina�e
The final grade should have a positive slope away from the foundation walls on all sides. At
minimum, the slope shall meet the requirements of the governing Building Code. Where site
grading allows, we recommend a minimum of six inches (6") in the first five feet (5'). Downspouts
and sill cocks should discharge into splash blocks that extend beyond the limits of the backfill.
Splash blocks should slope away from the foundation walls. The use of long downspout extensions
in lieu of splash blocks is advisable. Surface drainage away from the foundation shall be
maintained throughout the lifetime of the structure.
Lawn Irri ag tion
Do not install sprinkler systems next to foundation walls, porches, or patio slabs. If sprinkler
systems are installed, the sprinkler heads should be placed so that the spray from the heads under
full pressure does not fall within five feet (5') of foundation walls, porches, or patio slabs. Lawn
irrigation must be carefully controlled.
If the future owners desire to plant next to foundation walls, porches, or patio slabs, and are willing
to assume the risk of structural damage, etc., then it is advisable to plant only flowers and shrubbery
(no lawn) of varieties that require very little moisture. These flowers and shrubs should be hand
watered only. Landscaping with a plastic covering around the foundation area is not
recommended.
Check with your local landscaper for fabrics which allow evaporation when inhibiting plant growth
when a plastic landscape covering is desired.
Experience shows that the majority of problems with foundations due to water conditions are
generally due to the owner's negligence of� maintaining proper drainage of water from the
foundation area. The future owners should be directed to pertinent information in this report.

APPENDIX 3
GENERAL SPECIFICA'TIONS FOR "THE PLf10EMENT OF COMP�ICTED PILL
MATERIAL PLACED BELOW A STRUCTURE
Moisture-Density Determination
Representative samples of the materials to be used for fill shall be furnished by the contractor at
least seventy two (72) hours prior to compaction testing. Samples with higher moisture contents
will require extra timc for test results due to the required drying for sample preparation. "I'ests to
determine the optimum moisture and density of the given material will be made using methods
conforming to the most recent procedures of ASTM D698 (standard Proctor) or other approved
methods, whichever may apply. Copies of the Proctor Curves will be furnished to the contractor.
These test results shall be the basis of control for the tield moisture/density tests.
Materials
The soils used for compacted fill shall be selected or approved by the Cngineer. The material shall
be free of vegetation, topsoil or ai�y other deleterious materials. The material should be relatively
impervious and non-swelling for the depth specified in the soils report with no material greater
than six (6) inches in diameter.
Site Preparation
All timber, logs, trees, brush and rubbish shall be removed from the area and disposed in a manner
approved by the local governing agency. All vegetation and a substantial amount of topsoil shall
be removed from the surface upon which the till is to be placed. Where applicable, the surface
shall then be scarified to a depth of at least six (6) inches, moistened or dried as necessary to allow
for uniform compaction by the equipment being used. The scarified surface shall be compacted
to not less than 95% of maximum dry density based on ASTM D698, or to such other density as
may be determined appropriate f'or the materials and conditions and acceptable to the Engineer.
Fill shall not be placed on f'rozen or muddy ground.
Moisture
The fll material, while being compacted should contain, as nearly as practical (typically +/- 2%),
the optimum amount of moisture as determined by the Standard Proctor Test ASTM D698, or
other approved method. The moisture shall be �miform throughout the fill material. The effort
required for optimum compaction will be minimized by keeping soils near optimum moisture
contents. Preezing temperatures and/or inclement weather conditions may impede moisture
control and compaction operations.
Placement of Fill
The Ueotechnical Engineer shall be retained to supervise thc placement af fill material. The fill
material shall be placed in uniform layers and be compacted to not less than 95% of maximum dry
density based on ASTM D698, or to such other density as may be detertnined appropriate for the
materials and conditions and acceptable to the Engineer. Prior to compacting, each layer shall
have a maximum loose layer height of twelve (12) inches (or as dictated by the compaction
equipment and/or soil conditions) with the surface relatively level. Test areas are recommended
to determine the optimum layer thickness. "Chinner lifts may be necessary in order to achieve tlie
required compaction. Compacted layer thickness shall not exceed six (6) inches. Each twelve
(12) inches of compacted fill shall be approved by the Engineer prior to placing succeeding lifts.
Pill shall be compacted with machinery appropriate for the type of earthen material being installed.
Granular materials shall be compacted with vibratory type machinery. Clay and silt material shall
be compacted with a sheepsfoot or other segmented pad type compaction equipment. "Wheel
rolling" is not considered an appropriate method to achieve the recotnmended compaction
specifications. "Whecl rolling" is not recommended for extensive areas or depths and cannot be
relied upon to give uniform results.
Moisture and Density Testing
It is the contractor's responsibility to contact the Cngineer with a minimum of 24-hours notice to
schedule compaction testing. The density and moisture content of each layer of compacted fill
will be determined by the Engineer, or qualified technician, in accordance with ASTM D6938
(nuclear method), or other approved method. If the tests show inadequate density, that layer, or
portion thereof; shall be reworked until the required conditions are obtained. Additional layers
shall not be placed until each underlying lift has been approved. The results of all density tests
will be furnished to both the owncr and the contractor by the Engineer.
