Project:
Plum & Shields Greek Housing
Project Development Plan/Final Plan
Fort Collins, Colorado .
Attn:
Mr. Wes Lamarque 1
City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility
700 Wood Street
Fort Collins, Colorado 80521
Dear Wes:
Project No. 970-001
This letter serves to address the stormwater impacts of the Plum & Shields Greek Housing project. The
existing building is situated towards the northern portion of the site. The site currently consists of rooftop,
concrete walks, asphalt parking areas, turf, trees, and other vegetation. It presently functions similar to a
'B' lot, with historic drainage being splittowards Plum Street to the north and towards Shields Street to the
east. The total impervious area of the existing site is approximately 12,326 square -feet. The existing
percent impervious for the entire site is 65.1%. The existing total runoff from the site is 3.7 cfs in the
100-yr event.
The proposed redevelopment will leave the existing building footprint unchanged, aside from the removal
of a small addition on the west side of the building, while expanding the parking area south of the building.
Portions of existing paving will be modified, and a paver area will be added at the northeast corner of the
new parking area. A second paver area will be added at the driveway entrance from Plum Street. While
very minor grading changes will occur, the,addition of the paver area at the Plum Street entrance will
modify the existing drainage basins so that some areas of the site that have historically flowed to Plum
Street will now be directed to Shields Street via the paver subdrain. The total impervious area of the
proposed redevelopment is roughly 12,861 square -feet. This. is a slight increase from the existing
condition. The proposed percent impervious for the entire site also increases slightly to 67.0%. However,
due to the addition of pavers, the removal of some concrete paving along the north side of the building and
the redirection of some flows to Shields Street, total runoff from the site will decrease to 3.4 cfs in the
100-yr event.
The site is located in the Old Town Drainage Basin. On -site detention is not, required so long as there is no
increase in runoff. Since the redevelopment does not propose an increase in runoff, detention storage is
not required. Calculations using the rational method to determine the existing and proposed runoff are
attached to this letter, as is a drainage exhibit. An exhibit depicting existing and proposed impervious
areas has also been provided. .
There are no regulatory floodplains associated with the project.

Although stormwater quantity detention.is not required, stormwater quality mitigation will be addressed by
both temporary and permanent Best Management Practices (BMPs). During construction, the Contractor
will follow the appropriate and applicable City of Fort Collins standards for erosion and sediment control.
Since the approximately 11,707 sf area of disturbance for the project is less than one acre, a
comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan will not be prepared for this project. Post construction
water quality and erosion control will be achieved by.a fully established and stabilized site. All areas
disturbed during construction will receive permanent hardscape,. landscape, or building structure.
There are no existing stormwater BMP's currently on -site. In order to bring the site into compliance with
the Low Impact Development Standards adopted by the city, water quality mitigation and permeable
pavers will be provided on -site. Water quality treatment will occur through a variety of methods. The first
method is the use of a raised bio-retention area (Infiltration Planter) along the south side of the existing
building that intercepts runoff from rooftop downspouts. This planter bed will have an engineered section
designed to remove particulates and contaminants from the runoff. While most minor events are expected
to infiltrate into the ground, a subdrain is provided to drain the Infiltration Garden should it become
overburdened. The underdrain will outfall directly into Shields. In addition to treating the roof runoff, a
paver area is being provided in 3 of the new parking stalls, which will allow minor rain events to infiltrate
into the soil rather than leaving the site. An additional paver area is also being provided at the entrance
from Plum Street. The final method that is being utilized'on the north side of the building is to discharge
roof drains into landscaped areas.
The City LID requirements specify that no less than 25% of all new paving shall be treated using
permeable paving technique. In the case of this project, 792 sf of permeable pavers will be provided,
which is 74% of the total 1,069. sf of new paving, which far exceeds the requirement. The City LID
requirements also specify,that no less than 50% of any new impervious areas must be treated using LID
techniques. The combination of treatment provided by the Permeable Pavers, Infiltration Planter, and
Landscaping Strips will treat 6,365.sf of impervious area on the site, which is 804% of the new
impervious areas proposed with the project, which again far exceeds the amount required by city code. Of
the total impervious area on the site, including all existing and, proposed areas, 48% will be treated as a
result of the improvements proposed with this project.
1.
To summarize, the proposed grading concept closely matches existing elevations and drainage patterns.
On -site detention is proven to be unnecessary. Stormwater quality has been provided, and exceeds the city
requirements for Low Impact Development paving and treatment. Therefore, it is my professional opinion
that the Plum & Shields Greek Housing satisfies all applicable stormwater criteria.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
YU�
