Please answer the following questions by initialing the appropriate response. For each question initialed “No,” attach an explanation detailing how this will affect stormwater drainage for this lot and any adjacent lots. 1. Certification includes attached Stormwater-approved grading plan. (NOTE: City’s Building Department does not approve grading plans). 2. Certification includes the attached as-built survey dated (must be within 60 days of the date the certification is submitted) accurately and truthfully depicting elevations for: z Top of foundation/finished floor z Finished grade on each side of the structure z Quarter points along each lot line (not more than 50 feet apart) z Break points/high points z Swales z Berms z Retaining walls z Air conditioning pads z Window wells z Any other appurtenance(s) within an easement ϯ͘All elevations are within a 0.2 foot tolerance of the approved grading plan. ϰ͘The top of foundation is at least 6 inches above the highest grade surrounding the structure. ϱ͘There is a minimum grade of 5% away from the structure within the first 5 to 10 feet adjacent to the residence. ϲ͘All slopes meet or exceed the minimum requirement of 2% (1% is acceptable on single family lots when the swale is draining the runoff from only two adjoining properties) and are not steeper than ϯϯ% (ϯ:1). ϳ͘All 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. ϴ͘All 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 directed onto neighboring properties.

A smooth transition with no vertical offset (step) in grade is provided at the lot line to all adjacent properties. 10. The grading of this lot does not adversely affect neighboring properties or City infrastructure. 11. Landscaping has been completed prior to survey. If not, please indicate who will be responsible for completing landscaping: 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.. No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes 14. Based on this information, I certify that (check one): Ƒ 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). Ƒ 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.

While the corner elevations for Lot 3 Block 22, Mountain’s Edge are in substantial conformance with the elevations shown on the City approved Final Grading Plan for the subdivision, the proposed “garden level” condition shown the grading plan is not functional or necessary. As a ground level lot /foundation as opposed to a walkout, the grades are not dropped in the rear as in the area grading plan. The 3’ drop shown on the grading plan is generally not considered a functional garden level lot. B&J Surveying has only recently taken over this project for others and did not complete the plot plan or finished grade staking. We are aware that 3:1 slopes are not desired and for all homes in the subdivision, we will use 4:1 as a typical design preference. For the sake of a home already designed, we did not want to recommend lowering the grade as this was not proposed at plot plan stage and therefore the foundation may not have frost protection if grades are lowered. The elevations and slopes for this lot are in conformance with Fort Collins grading criteria and the drainage patterns of the City approved Final Grading Plan for Mountain's Edge. Therefore, it is my professional opinion to approve the certification for this lot. Sincerely, Hayley Young, PE B&J Surveying, Inc. E 35,000 SQFT CROWN VIEW DRIVE 58' R.O.W.
