4. The top of foundation is at least 6 inches above the highest grade surrounding the
structure.
5. There is a minimum grade of 5% away from the structure within the first 5 to 10 feet
adjacent to the residence.

family lots when the swale is draining the runoff from only two adjoining properties)
and are not steeper than 33% (3:1).
7. All flow lines of stormwater drainage swales are a minimum of 6 inches below the
elevation of ground adjacent to the structure and will direct drainage as shown on the
Stormwater-approved grading plan.
8. All downspout locations and discharge directions are shown on the as-built survey.
Runoff is directed into an appropriate drainage system or lot line swale, and it is not

12. Final site cleanup has been completed.
13. I personally visited the site as part of the certification process, and in my professional
opinion, the as-built survey is an accurate representation of the site conditions.
14. Based on this information, I certify that (check one):
□ The elevations and drainage patterns of the lot/site are in substantial conformance with the City
approved drainage and grading plan for the property (information attached).
□ The elevations and drainage patterns of the lot/site as measured are in general conformance with the
City approved drainage plan with exceptions (information attached). In my professional judgment the
elevations and grading of the lot/site as constructed are functionally adequate and equivalent to the
specifically approved drainage plan, and will affect stormwater drainage on and off the lot/site in a
manner consistent with the approved drainage plan.

RE: 415 East Laurel Street Certification of Lot Grading Supplemental Memo
To Whom it May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to provide an explanation of discrepancies on the certification of lot grading
for 415 East Laurel Street, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Item #3 was marked as “no,” because not all elevations are within 0.2 ft of the approved grading plan. The
concrete valley pan was not installed east of the garage. Instead, the homeowner was able to grade a 1%
swale between the garage and the fence line.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments regarding this memo.
Best regards,
