CONSULTING ENGINEERS p r(l" Pd Repell �FMIA J - gate April 11, 2005 Qs Mr. Basil Hamden City of Fort Collins Stormwater Department Utilities P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: TST, Inc. Building Expansion Project No. 0000.0000.00 Dear Mr. Hamden: TST, Inc. Consulting Engineers is processing a proposed building expansion of our office on Whalers Way, in the Boardwalk Business Park. In support of that application we have prepared an exhibit and some calculations to demonstrate the revised runoff regime that the proposed expansion will generate. This letter is provided to summarize the proposed improvements and explain the revised runoff. TST currently occupies Building D of the Boardwalk Business Park and has recently acquired Building E, adjacent to the northwest. Both buildings are two story and are currently connected by an uncovered walkway. The proposed plan is to connect the two buildings with a new enclosure creating one large office space in place of the two existing ones. The improvements will also extend the first floor of the buildings further north towards the existing recreational pond and create an uncovered concrete patio area. Very little will change regarding the sidewalk and existing landscape areas in front of the buildings, although we anticipate replacing much of the existing landscaping and sidewalk because it will not likely survive the building reconstruction. However, those replacements are proposed to be generally in -kind and will preserve the existing drainage pattern. Accompanying this letter is an exhibit that shows the proposed site plan in comparison to the existing layout. A table summarizes the impervious area for the existing and proposed site plans. The proposed improvements will result in approximately 2,914 square feet of additional impervious surface. That increase equates to an increase of 0.8 cfs runoff during the 100-YR event storm and 0.3 cfs in the 10-YR. Those runoff calculations also accompany this letter. The basic drainage patterns have not changed. The new roof lines will continue to convey runoff in the same pattern as they do now in combination with the ground level sidewalks and landscape areas. The majority of the runoff from the site discharges to an existing private pond called the Harmony Reservoir to the north and east of the buildings. Runoff is currently detained by this facility and the increased runoff resulting from the proposed improvements will be accepted by the Harmony Reservoir Recreation Association. Current City of Fort Collins criteria requires stormwater quality be addressed. In this case, all of the runoff from the proposed improvements that drain to the pond must sheet flow across at least 55 feet of grass area. Most of the runoff will be to the back of the building (north side) and must sheet flow across over 100 feet grass area before entering the pond. The filtering effect of traveling across this much grassed area should be at least as effective as any type of extended detention and would not require alteration of the existing drainage patterns. No additional consideration to treatment of storm runoff is recommended. A silt fence barrier at the edge of the pond will prevent eroded sediment from leaving the site during construction. After construction has been completed there will be no bare soils to erode. The area will either be building, concrete, or sod. Thank you for your attention to this application. We have addressed the comments from your previous review which were dated March 4. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything else. Sincerely, TST, Inc. Consulting 32135V'c o `- David B.
