This site is in the Dry Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $5,000/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction.

The existing outfalls for the site are limited so onsite detention is required. The standard release rate is the 2 year historic rate. However, the outfalls may even limit it more. I would suggest a meeting with 5tormwater staff once the design engineer has reviewed the site constraints and has preliminary ideas of how to drain the site as well as the historic drainage patterns. A new outfall system to the Poudre River may be needed since there are properties in the County that are flooded frequently now. e. Water quality extended detention is required to treat runoff. f, This site is not in a floodplain or the Poudre River "product corridor". 1) MEETING DATE: August 7, 2000 ITEM: Expansion of New Belgium Brewery. APPLICANT: Angie Melewski BHA Design 4803 Innovation Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: The New Belgium owners actually own (or have an option on) all the property between the existing brewery building and Lemay. The applicant intends to submit an application for an ODP by early September. The expansion is proposed in 2 to 3 phases. This conceptual includes 2 future phases: (1) an addition to expand storage and distribution to the east of the existing building, and (2) an addition to expand the brew house to the north west between the existing building and Linden Street. The applicant is proposing an on site water treatment plant to reuse some of the water. A visitor center and possible bed & breakfast building are proposed in a new detached building near the south property line. The applicant is exploring the possibility of extending a rail spur from the railroad along drive to the site. Two alternatives were presented: option 1 had a new parking lot on the north side of the building, option 2 had an expanded parking lot on the south side of the building and a new service drive on the north. .
