RE: 305 Circle Drive – Grading and Drainage Certification
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Shane:
The owners of the residence at 305 Circle Drive reconstructed the home on their property over the past year.
During the drainage certification for this project, the City of Fort Collins expressed concerns over the increased
impervious area from the previously approved design. The patio and walkw ay areas within the rear yard are
significantly different than the approved plans. This letter provides documentation of the drainage impacts of
the as constructed conditions at 305 Circle Drive.
Northern Engineering provided a grading plan and drainage analysis for the proposed design on March 28,
2017. During construction, the rear patio was reconfigured, and additional walkways were provided within
the rear yard. Northern Engineering surveyed the rear yard on August 29, and we re-analyzed the site
drainage conditions. Figure 1 shows the impervious areas between the pre-and post-development conditions.
According to Figure 1, there was an increase of 1,191 ft2. The post-development conditions exceed the City’s
allowable increase of 1,000 ft2.
The total increase of impervious area from pre-development conditions results in an increase of 0.07 cfs to
the 2-Year Storm and 0.27 cfs to the 100-Year Storm. The increased impervious area of 1,191 ft2 will result
in a rise of 0.01 ft within Circle Drive in front of the residence; however, the City will allow an increase
impervious area of 1,000 ft2. Therefore, the runoff was recalculated assuming an increase of 191 ft2 to
determine the impact on Circle Drive from the impervious area that exceeds the City’s req uirements. The
additional 191 ft2 of impervious area results in an increase of 0.01 cfs to the 2-Year Storm, 0.04 cfs to the
100-Year Storm, and no rise within Circle Drive. The additional impervious area will have no impact to the
flowrates within Circle Drive.
The total increase in the flowrate from the impervious area is split between the larger building footprint and
the increased pathways in the rear yard. Sixty percent of this increase occurs from the building addition as
discussed within Northern Engineering’s March 27, 2017 drainage analysis. The remaining 40% increase is
a result of the reconfigured rear patio, additional walkways, and the concrete valley pan along the south
property. Runoff from the building’s roof drains will flow in two dire ctions:
• collected by a storm sewer along the north property line that discharges into the curb and gutter for
Circle Drive,
• or discharge directly into a valley pan constructed along the south property line and discharging into
the curb and gutter for Circle Drive via a sidewalk culvert.
The runoff from the remaining 40% will first flow towards the North-South Alley as part of the runoff from the
rear yards. Due to a high point within the north-south alley along the western edge of the property, the rear
yard was divided into two drainage basins: SW Corner and NW Corner. Figures 2 through 4 provide the
hydrologic calculations for both the SW Corner and NW Corner Basins. The below table provides a summary

GREELEY: 820 8 th Street, 80631 | 970.395.9880 | W EB: www.northernengineering.com
of the increased runoff from the rear yard improveme nts and the increase throughout the entire site from the
additional impervious area.

Drainage from the SW Corner Basin will sheet flow across the rear yard into the North-South Alley. The
crown within the North-South Alley will redirect the flow towards the East-West Alley along the south property
line. Drainage will then flow back towards 305 Circle Drive and into the valley pan constructed along the
south property line. The valley pan will discharge into the Circle Drive curb and gutter via a sidewalk culvert.
The calculated 2-Year and 100-Year Storm Events are 0.10 cfs and 0.48 cfs respectively. A survey of the
alleys determined the critical location, with respect to neighboring properties, will occur at the intersection
between the North-South and East-West Alley. According to Figure 5, the 100-Year Storm Event will remain
within the alley cross-section and not impact any of the neighboring properties.
Drainage from the NW Corner Basin will sheet flow across the rear yard into the North -South Alley. The
drainage will collect within North-South Alley and flow north towards Lake Stre et. The flowrate for the 100-
Year Storm Event will decrease from 0.52 cfs to 0.40 cfs. Therefore, the improvements within the NW
Corner Basin will not impact any of the neighboring properties.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
