bisecting the eastern half of the project site.
B. Description of Property
1. The Morningstar/Block 23 project site is comprised of ±2.62 acres.
2. A north-south public alley bisects the property into an eastern parcel and a
western parcel. The east half of the site is currently occupied by four abandoned
commercial buildings as well as various concrete and gravel parking areas. The
west half of the site is currently an undeveloped gravel lot. A portion of the
gravel lot is used to stockpile material by Burlington Northern Railroad during
maintenance activities for the railroad tracks.
1. The existing groundcover consists of weed-infested concrete and gravel parking
lots with limited landscaping in the northeast corner. The project site generally
drains from west to east across flat grades (e.g., <2.00%).
2. The west half, the alley, and portions of the east half of the existing runoff drains
radially inward towards an existing storm inlet located onsite. The outer ring of
the project site generally drains into the surrounding curb and gutter for Cherry
Street, Maple Street, and College Avenue. The entire site, both the existing storm
inlet and the surrounding streets, drain towards an existing Type-R inlet located
Figure 2: Aerial Photograph

within College Avenue in the northeast corner of the project. Ultimately, the
Type-R inlet drains, via the Fort Collins storm sewer system, into the Cache La
Poudre River ±1,160 feet to the north.
3. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey website:
(http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx),
the site consists primarily of Paoli fine sandy loam (Hydrologic Soil Group A).

bisecting the eastern half of the project site. Old Town Flats, towards the
southwest of the project, is the only significant off-site source of stormwater that
impacts the project. The -R
inlet in College Avenue located at the northeast corner of the project site, and it
ultimately drains towards the Cache La Poudre River ±1,160 feet to the north.
5. The proposed development will consist of long-term care facility, commercial
units, and a parking structure. The mixed-use building, consisting of long-term
facility and commercial units, will be located east of the alley. The parking
structure will be located west of the alley. Other proposed improvements
include: a new asphalt within the alley, landscaping planters, new sidewalks
within the surrounding streets, and storm sewer improvements in the alley,
Cherry Street, and Maple Street.
6. The proposed land use is mixed-use. This is a permitted use in the Downtown
District (D).

C. Floodplain
1. The subject property is not located in a FEMA or City regulatory floodplain. In
particular, the project site is not located within a FEMA designated 100-year
floodplain per Map Number 08069C0979H (Effective date: May 2, 2012).
II. Drainage Basins and Sub-Basins
A. Major Basin Description
Morningstar/Block 23 is located within the City of Fort Collins Old Town major
drainage basin. Specifically, the project site is situated in the north-central portion of
this major drainage basin. This basin is in north-central Fort Collins, and it has a
drainage area of approximately 2,120 acres, including approximately 400 acres of the
Colorado State University Campus. The Old Town major drainage basin generally
drains from west to east. It receives some runoff from the Canal Importation basin
directly west of Old Town. Most of the runoff form the Old Town major drainage
basin drains into the Poudre River.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The outfall for the project site is an existing Type-R inlet located in the northeast
corner of the site within College Avenue.
Figure 3: City Floodplains
Final Drainage Report April 29, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 5 of 20
2. The existing site can be defined with fourteen (14) Sub-Basins that encompasses
the entire project site.
3. The existing site runoff generally drains from west to east into an existing Type-R
inlet in College Avenue.
4. Old Town Flats, towards the southwest of the project, is the only significant off-
site source of stormwater that impacts the project. The outfall for Old Town Flats
bisects the eastern half of Morningstar/Block 23 storm sewer discharging
into a Type-R inlet in College Avenue located at the northeast corner of the
project site.
The developer will construct a new storm sewer to convey drainage from
Morningstar/Block 23 and Old Town Flats along the alley, Cherry Street, and
discharging into an existing single combination inlet at the intersection of Cherry
Street and College Avenue. The combination inlet in Cherry Street will need to
be reconstructed to accommodate the proposed pipe and site improvements.

5. The onsite imperviousness, with tabulated historic versus proposed impervious
areas, is documented within Appendix A.
III. Drainage Design Criteria
A. Optional Provisions
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with Morningstar/
Block 23.
B. Stormwater Management Strategy
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with Morningstar/Block 23
anization on
receiving waters. The following is a description of how the proposed development
has incorporated each step.
Step 1 Employ Runoff Reduction Practices. The first consideration taken in trying
to reduce the stormwater impacts of this development is the site selection itself. By
choosing an already developed site with public storm sewer currently in place, the
burden is significantly less than developing a vacant parcel absent of any
infrastructure.
Final Drainage Report April 29, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 6 of 20
The Morningstar/Block 23 aims to reduce runoff peaks, volumes and pollutant loads
from frequently occurring storm events (i.e., water quality (i.e., 80th percentile) and
2-year storm events) by implementing Low Impact Development (LID) strategies.
Wherever practical, runoff will be routed across landscaped areas, within rain
gardens, or through an infiltration gallery. These LID practices reduce the overall
amount of impervious area, while at the same time Minimizing Directly Connected
Impervious Areas (MDCIA). The combined LID/MDCIA techniques will be
implemented, where practical, throughout the development, thereby slowing runoff
and increasing opportunities for infiltration.
Step 2 Implement BMPs that Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV)
with Slow Release. The efforts taken in Step 1 will help to minimize excess runoff
from frequently occurring storm events; however, urban development of this
intensity will still have stormwater runoff leaving the site. The primary water quality
treatment will occur in the underground vaults located along the alley. The
underground vaults are located on private property per City of Fort Collins
regulations.
Step 3 Stabilize Drainageways. While this step may not seem applicable to
Morningstar/Block 23, the proposed project indirectly helps achieve stabilized
drainageways, nonetheless. Once again, site selection has a positive effect on stream
stabilization. By developing an infill site with existing stormwater infrastructure,
combined with LID and MDCIA strategies, the likelihood of bed and bank erosion is
reduced. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees,
as well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve
Citywide drainageway stability.
Step 4 Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs. This step
typically applies to industrial and commercial developments.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1. The subject property is not part of any Overall Development Plan (ODP)
development
2. The site plan is constrained on all sides by either a public street, a railroad, or
existing development. The northeast corner of the project site is the intersection
of College Avenue and Cherry Street. This intersection includes a level railway
junction between the Burlington Northern Railroad, Great Western Railroad, and
US Highway 287. The southeast corner of the project is the junction of US
Highway 287 and Colorado State Highway 14.
3. The existing inlets in College Avenue (a combination and a Type-R inlet) will
function as the ultimate outfall for the project site.

Morningstar/Block 23 Page 7 of 20
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as
depicted in Figure 3.4-1 of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic
computations associated with Morningstar/Block 23 development. Tabulated
data contained in Table 3.4-1 has been utilized for Rational Method runoff
calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing
coefficients contained in Tables 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 of the FCSCM.
3. The Rational Formula-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procedure
was utilized for detention storage calculations.
4. Two separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage
scenarios. a
2-year recurrence interval. The second
which has a 100-year recurrence interval.
E. Hydraulic Criteria
1. The drainage facilities proposed with Morningstar/Block 23 project are designed
in accordance with criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the Urban Drainage
Urban
Drainage Flood Control District recently changed their name to Mile High Flood
District (MHFD).
2. As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is not located within a
FEMA or City floodplain limits.
F. Floodplain Regulations Compliance
1. The project is located outside of a FEMA or City floodplain, and as such, it will
not be subject to any floodplain regulations.
2. Despite the project not being located within the floodplain, consideration has
been given to the floodplain elevations as they relate to the proposed buildings
and the finished floors have been elevated accordingly.
G. Modifications of Criteria
No formal modifications are requested at this time.
Final Drainage Report April 29, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 8 of 20
H. Conformance with Water Quality Treatment Criteria
City Code requires that 100% of runoff from a project site receive some sort of water
quality treatment. This project proposes to provide water quality treatment through
the use of an underground infiltration gallery (aka underground chambers) located
midway on the east side of the alley, a sand filter and detention vault within the
parking structure, and planter boxes constructed to provide the City of Fort Collins
biomedia soil section. The chambers, sand filter vault, and biomedia planter boxes
are considered a LID treatment method. Due to the physical constraints associated
with an infill project of this nature and the prohibition of providing water quality
facilities within the public right-of-way, there are some small, narrow areas around
the perimeter of the project that cannot be captured. The uncaptured areas tend to be
narrow strips of concrete flatwork that link the building entrances to the public
sidewalks and small planter beds between the building and public sidewalks or
property lines.
I. Conformance with Low Impact Development (LID)
The project site will conform with the requirement to treat a minimum of 75% of the
project site using a LID technique. Please see Appendix C for LID design
information, table, and exhibit(s). As shown in the LID table provided in the
appendix, 89.0% of the proposed site impervious area will receive LID treatment,
which exceeds the minimum required.
J. Sizing of LID Facilities
Infiltration Gallery & Planter Boxes
1. The infiltration gallery was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins E1 - E5. A 12-hour drain time was used in
this calculation.
2. The WQCV for the infiltration gallery was then reduced by the available volume
in the planter boxes. The WQCV was calculated to be 2,035 cubic feet for the east
side improvements. Per FCSM requirements for rain gardens, the planter boxes
will be capable of treating a WQCV of 690 cubic feet to a depth of 1 foot.
Therefore, the minimum required WQCV within the infiltration gallery is 1,345
cubic feet (2,035 ft3 690 ft3 = 1,345 ft3).
3. Once the WQCV was identified, the minimum number of vaults needed to
achieve the minimum WQCV was calculated. This volume includes the adjacent
aggregates
4. The total release rate for the underground vaults wrapped in geofabric, with the
potential to constrict flows and resulting in sedimentation, was calculated to be
Final Drainage Report April 29, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 9 of 20
0.42 cfs. This rate was determined by multiplying the vault bottom square
footage x 0.35 gpm.
5. After completing the volume calculated utilizing the WQ flow rate into the
chamber and the calculated release rate through the fabric, the number of
chambers was increased as needed to confirm the resulting WQCV is provided
within the empty volume of the underground chambers. This is intended to
ensure the chambers do not become overwhelmed in the water quality storm
gregates.
6. Finally, additional chambers, without fabric, were added to provide the required
detention volume for the east side of the project.

Table 1: Number of Chambers
Sand Filter Vault
1. The sand filter vault was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for the parking garage footprint (Basin W2) assuming
100% imperviousness. A 12-hour drain time was used in this calculation.
K. General Concept
1. The main objective of Morningstar/Block 23 drainage design is to maintain
existing drainage patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
2. The outfall for Old Town Flats passes through the project site. This outfall will
be re-routed, along with stormwater from Morningstar/Block 23, into a new
storm sewer within the alley and Cherry Street, and it will discharge into an
existing single combination inlet at the intersection of Cherry Street and College
historic outfall (the Type-R inlet in College Avenue) for Morningstar/Block 23
and Old Town Flats. The combination inlet at the intersection of Cherry Street
and College Avenue, and the existing storm sewer, will be replaced to
accommodate the increased flows.

L. Specific Details
1. The developer will construct two onsite detention facilities for the project. An
underground chamber system and planters will be used to provide the required
detention storage, water quality, and LID treatment for the east half of the site.
The planters will utilize the City of Fort Collins biomedia specifications for a rain
garden to provide LID and water quality treatment. An isolator row, an
underground chamber row wrapped in filter fabric, will provide additional
water quality and LID treatment. The remaining underground chambers will
provide the required detention volume.

3. A total combined release rate of 14.64 cfs was determined for the proposed
detention facilities on the east parcel. This release rate was determined based on
the methodology utilized for previous projects in Fort Collins with a high
historic impervious area (approved Final Drainage Reports for Scott Plaza and
Union on Elizabeth ). The methodology accounts for impervious area allowed

Morningstar/Block 23 Page 16 of 20
1.52 acres (66,085 ft2) of impervious area within
the east half of the development site that drains towards the intersection of
Cherry Street and College Avenue. A 100-year discharge from this impervious
area was calculated to 14.62 cfs. There is 0.04 acres (1,863 ft2) of pervious area
within the eastern half of the development site which also drains to the
intersection of Cherry Street and College Avenue. A 2-year discharge from the
pervious area of 0.02 cfs was calculated
area discharge and the 2-year pervious area discharge is 14.64 cfs for the east half
of the project site. The 14.64 cfs is considered as the allowable peak release rate
for the eastern half of the site.
4. A similar methodology, as described above, was used for the west half (parking
garage) side of the site. Because the west half of the site consists entirely of a
gravel lot, there was no 2-year historic pervious area to calculate. There is 0.35
acres (15,234 ft2) of impervious area within the west half of the development site
that drains towards the alley. A 100-year discharge from this
impervious area was calculated to 3.42 cfs. The 3.42 cfs is considered as the
allowable peak release rate for the western half of the site. Due to grading
constraints along existing streets, portions of the west side are released
undetained. Therefore, the release rate for the detention vault on the west side
was throttled back to 3.39 cfs.
5. The FAA method was used to size the on-site detention volume.
M. Sizing of LID Facilities
Infiltration Gallery & Planter Boxes
6. The infiltration gallery was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins E1 - E5. A 12-hour drain time was used in
this calculation.
7. The WQCV for the infiltration gallery was then reduced by the available volume
in the planter boxes. The WQCV was calculated to be 2,035 cubic feet for the east
side improvements. Per FCSM requirements for rain gardens, the planter boxes
will be capable of treating a WQCV of 690 cubic feet to a depth of 1 foot.
Therefore, the minimum required WQCV within the infiltration gallery is 1,345
cubic feet (2,035 ft3 690 ft3 = 1,345 ft3).
8. Once the WQCV was identified, the minimum number of vaults needed to
achieve the minimum WQCV was calculated. This volume includes the adjacent
aggregates
9. The total release rate for the underground vaults wrapped in geofabric, with the
potential to constrict flows and resulting in sedimentation, was calculated to be
Final Drainage Report April 29, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 17 of 20
0.42 cfs. This rate was determined by multiplying the vault bottom square
footage x 0.35 gpm.
10. After completing the volume calculated utilizing the WQ flow rate into the
chamber and the calculated release rate through the fabric, the number of
chambers was increased as needed to confirm the resulting WQCV is provided
within the empty volume of the underground chambers. This is intended to
ensure the chambers do not become overwhelmed in the water quality storm
11. Finally, additional chambers, without fabric, were added to provide the required
detention volume for the east side of the project.
Sand Filter Vault
12. The sand filter vault was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for the parking garage footprint (Basin W2) assuming
100% imperviousness. A 12-hour drain time was used in this calculation.
IV. Conclusions
A. Compliance with Standards
1. The design elements comply without variation and meet all LID requirements.
2. The drainage design proposed with Morningstar/Block 23 complies with the City
of Fort Collins Master Drainage Plan for the Old Town Basin.
3. There are no FEMA regulatory floodplains associated with Morningstar/Block 23
development.
4. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with
Morningstar/Block 23 project are compliant with all applicable State and Federal
regulations governing stormwater discharge.
B. Drainage Concept
1. The drainage design proposed with this project will effectively limit potential
damage associated with its stormwater runoff. Morningstar/Block 23 will detain
for existing pervious area converted to impervious areas at the 2-year existing
release rate.

Hydraulic Calculations
Area Inlet Performance Curve:
Inlet A7-1
Governing Equations:
At low flow depths, the inlet will act like a weir governed by the following equation:
* where P = 2(L + W)
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the flowline
At higher flow depths, the inlet will act like an orifice governed by the following equation:
* where A equals the open area of the inlet grate
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the centroid of the cross-sectional area (A)
The exact depth at which the inlet ceases to act like a weir, and begins to act like an orifice is unknown.
However, what is known, is that the stage-discharge curves of the weir equation and the orifice equation
will cross at a certain flow depth. The two curves can be found below:
If H > 1.792 (A/P), then the grate operates like an orifice; otherwise it operates like a weir.

Will receive 100-year overflow from Inlet A10-1.
Area Inlet Performance Curve:
Inlet A10-1
Governing Equations:
At low flow depths, the inlet will act like a weir governed by the following equation:
* where P = 2(L + W)
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the flowline
At higher flow depths, the inlet will act like an orifice governed by the following equation:
* where A equals the open area of the inlet grate
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the centroid of the cross-sectional area (A)
The exact depth at which the inlet ceases to act like a weir, and begins to act like an orifice is unknown.
However, what is known, is that the stage-discharge curves of the weir equation and the orifice equation
will cross at a certain flow depth. The two curves can be found below:
If H > 1.792 (A/P), then the grate operates like an orifice; otherwise it operates like a weir.

Final Drainage Report March 17, 2021
Morningstar/Block 23 Erosion Control Report
Erosion Control Report
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) has been
included with the final construction drawings. It should be noted, however, that any such
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan serves only as a general guide to the Contractor. Staging
and/or phasing of the BMPs depicted, and additional or different BMPs from those included
may be necessary during construction, or as required by the authorities having jurisdiction.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure erosion control measures are properly
maintained and followed. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is intended to be a living
document, constantly adapting to site conditions and needs. The Contractor shall update the
location of BMPs as they are installed, removed or modified in conjunction with construction
activities. It is imperative to appropriately reflect the current site conditions at all times.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall address both temporary measures to be
implemented during construction, as well as permanent erosion control protection. Best
Management Practices from the Volume 3, Chapter 7 Construction BMPs will be utilized.
Measures may include, but are not limited to, silt fencing and/or wattles along the disturbed
perimeter, gutter protection in the adjacent roadways and inlet protection at existing and
proposed storm inlets. Vehicle tracking control pads, spill containment and clean-up
procedures, designated concrete washout areas, dumpsters, and job site restrooms shall also be
provided by the Contractor.
Grading and Erosion Control Notes can be found on Sheet CS2 of the Utility Plans. The Final
Utility Plans will also contain a full-size Erosion Control Plan as well as a separate sheet
dedicated to Erosion Control Details. In addition to this report and the referenced plan sheets,
the Contractor shall be aware of, and adhere to, the applicable requirements outlined in any
existing Development Agreement(s) of record, as well as the Development Agreement, to be
recorded prior to issuance of the Development Construction Permit. Also, the Site Contractor
for this project may be required to secure a Stormwater Construction General Permit from the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality Control
Division Stormwater Program, before commencing any earth disturbing activities. Prior to
securing said permit, the Site Contractor shall develop a comprehensive Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) pursuant to CDPHE requirements and guidelines. The SWMP will
further describe and document the ongoing activities, inspections, and maintenance of
construction BMPs.
