CO 80525 RE: Detention Pond in Cunningham Corner Five Oaks Village P.U.D. Dear Eldon: The administrative change request for modifying the detention pond in Five Oaks Village at Cunningham Corner for Desyn Homes has been Approved with conditions. These conditions are as follows: 1. The City's Stormwater Utility is willing to take ownership and maintenance of the pond if the vegetation is a dryland grass mixture. The plan does not indicate what this grass mix will be. Please provide a mixture on the plan. 2. City ownership is also contingent upon removing the berm between the subject pond and the Sundisk pond. 3. The trees and shrubs presently shown on the berm should be relocated to a more advantageous location. 4. The concrete pans shown on the original plan will need to be built and maybe modified if the berm is removed. 5. Any modifications to the grading of the pond or the swale/concrete pan location must be revised on the approved utility, grading and drainage plans. Please note that the City Stormwater Utility typically requires plant material to reach a certain maturity prior to taking over ownership and maintenance of a detention pond. For further information, please contact Glen Schlueter or Rodney Albers at 221- 6589. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 PLANNING OBJECTIVES FIVE OAKS at CUNNINGHAM The townhomes of Five Oaks Village are P.U.D. located at South Shields Street site is Parcel A of the Master Plan and sity of 8.1 DU/AC. VILLAGE CORNER the third phase of Cunningham Corner and Cunningham Drive. The 9.65 acre contains 78 units for a gross den - The Site Plan of Five Oaks Village consists of five residential clusters containing 14 to 16 units each. Vehicular access is generally provided from internal private drives allowing for a major landscape buffers between building clusters and between townhomes and the single family neighborhood to the north. Unique to Five Oaks Village is the introduction of a series of small wet and dry ponds and footpath system which effectively links townhome clusters and larger landscape areas to a picnic and recreation amenity within Tract H retention area. The existing retention area will be reshaped with the construction of this project to incorporate more open area within Five Oaks Village and thereby form a uniform site plan. The drainage swale serving the retention area is proposed to meander in a more natural configuration to allow an even distribution of landscaping along the existing neighborhood property line. The townhomes consist of three unit types: two bedroom flat, two bedroom two story unit, and three bedroom two story unit. Each townhome will con- tain a one or two car attached garage and an enclosed patio. The architec- tural treatment will be similar to the first two phases of Cunningham Corner which used hardboard siding, high pitched roofs, and brick feature walls. The proposal is in compliance with the Fort Collins adopted policies on growth management. Specific policies includinge Land use, Site Planning, and Urban Design Criteria shall be developed to promote pleasant, func- tional and understandable interrelationships through and between land uses. Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities. Higher density residential uses should locate: Within close proximity to Community or Neighborhood park facilities Where water and sewer facilities can be adequately provided Within easy access to major employment centers With access to public transportation In areas with provisions for alternative modes of transportation. Construction of the first building cluster is scheduled to begin Fall of 1985. TO: Tom Gathman, City of Fort Collins t'i /N FROM: Brian Miller, E.I.T., Taranto, Stanton & Tagge Consulting Fingineers DATE: November 14, 1985 SUBJFX_T: Meeting on the Detention Pond, Cunningham Corner (11/13/85). Participants: Suzanne Bassinger, Brian Miller, Taranto, Stanton & Tagge, and Tom Gathman, City of Fort Collins The following was addressed during the meeting: 1. The detention pond volume calculated by HYDRA was less than the volume (4.6 ac-ft) calculated by SMI with a run Tom developed. Ton used the areas and slopes presented in the HYDRA output. HYDRA determined a 2.2 ac-ft pond, greater in volume than the 0.8 ac-ft pond recommended in the Master Plan, Table 6 Foothills Basin (Basin 6) Drainage Master Plan. 2. HYDRA calculations determined that 42% of the rainfall reached the pond. Tan felt the loss of 58% of the volume of rainfall was too high and that HYDRA must not be. accounting for all the volume. Conservation of mass calculations provided that only 3.1% of the rainfall was not accounted for in HYDRA on this run of the program. 3. The previously existing retention pond had come close to over -topping in the past with less than 100-year storms. Tan also mentioned that people he had questioned, said that the pond had no water in it to start with and the antecedent moisture condition may have been dry. Suzanne indicated that people in the area had said that the pond normally had a swampy bottom and frequently had standing water in it. Also, a retention pond is sized on intercepting 100% of the runoff volume whereas a detention pond is sized on routed volumes and would inherently be a lesser volume. 4. Percent impervious values from several Master Plans were considerably higher than the values used in the HYDRA nun. The p.=ent impervious values for HYDRA were calculated as recommended in the manual.

The initial infiltration rate used in HYDRA was for average moisture conditions. One hundred year floods for the HYDRA run assumed average antecedent moisture conditions. The assumption of saturated antecedent moisture conditions prior to the 100-year storm would produce a lesser frequency flood, possibly a 125-year flood. 6. Tom rioted the HYDRA program was very sensitive to some parameters, and mentioned the possibilit�r that some of the input values could be interpreted differently. HYDRA input parameters were measured where possible. In areas where site plans were not available, shorter overland flaw distances and gutter lengths to the known street locations were used to be conservative. The meeting concluded that further standardization of models is needed and that TST and the City will work closely on standardization.

Dear Suzanne, I would like to thank both Brian and you for spending time with me discussing the I4YDRA program last week. As you know, we ended the discussion still somewhat differing in opinion as to the reasonableness of the results of the program. I would like to reiterate the conclusions and actions that were agreed upon. 1. Roger Peterson, as the professional engineer responsible for the work, will write the City a letter clearly stating that he fully stands behind the results of the Revised Final Drainage Report for Five Oaks Village P.U.D. dated September 9, 1985. 2. The HYDRA program is not acceptable for future drainage reports for the City until the program is calibrated, preferrably with actual stream gage data representative of conditions in Fort Collins. It was mentioned that the Denver Urban Drainage and Flood Control District has stream gage information. As I stated several times during our meeting, the City is not opposed to the use of new models, infact we want to remain at the forefront of methodology. However, any new model must prove itself before it can be accepted without question. Because the detention volume storage requirements produced by the HYDRA model significantly differ from those determined by SWMM, CUHP and the Rational Method, the burden of proof must rest with you. I an anxious to see some comparisons between the stream gage data and the HYDRA model, and for that matter, between the actual data and SWMM and CUHP as well.

Gentlemen: This correspondence is to bring to your attention a change in the total basin fees expected to be paid for the Cunningham Corner P.U.D. because of a revision to the size of the site's detention pond as recommended by Taranto, Stanton and Tagge, your engineering consultant. The detention pond for the 39 acre site was originally designed to have a capacity of 5.81 acre feet per the April, 1979 TS&T drainage report. A pond of this size reduced the amount of the basin fees to be paid by 60%, since the City's policy is to recognize a developer's efforts to reduce his site's total runoff rate by crediting against his basin fees. The September, 1985 Five Oaks Village P.U.D. drainage report by TS&T recommended that the pond be downsized to 2.6 acre feet, using a different computer model than was used previously. Since basin fees are determined to a very large degree upon the amount of detention to be provided - - and this amount is apparently going to be reduced significantly - - the fees for the remaining phases of this site will be approximately $55,000 greater because of the reduced detention capacity. Knowing this, you may wish to have your consulting engineer evaluate the costs of the various alternatives to insure that the final design is truly the most economical for you. Please feel free to contact us if you should have questions. Tincerely, Michael H.

To vacate the right-of- way of a street means that the City would give up its right to use the property for a street. According to state law, the street when vacated, reverts to the adjacent property owners. In this case the ground would be divided along the center line of the street and the east one-half would then be yours and the west one-half would revert to the Fishers. Also, in this case, the City would retain an easement for an existing water line in the street, and another easement for a pedrestrian-bike path that will link Gunnison Drive and Richmond Drive. I understand' that you have decided that you are not interested in retaining the vacated property that would be yours as a result of this vacation and that you are willing to deed this property to the Fishers provided that all paper work is handled by Mr. Sibbald, per his September 23, 1985 letter to Joe Frank of my office. If you agree to the contents of this paragraph would you please sign below and return it to me as soon as possible in the attached stamped envelope. I have included and additional copy of this letter for your files. I intend to take the vacation of Windmill Drive to City Council for their consideration on February 18, 1986. If you have any additional questions regarding this matter, I am available at 221-6750.

Basically what was agreed was; 1). Mr. Sibbald would be responsible for all paper work involved in transfering the property from the Schroeders to the Fishers. 2). All existing improvements will be removed by Mr. Sibbald and the ground graded according to the approved plans on file in the City Engineer's Office. Mr. Sibbald would also install the curb, gutter and sidewalk adjacent to Gunnison Drive. 3). The Fishers are to present to Mr. Sibbald estimates to relocate and enlarge their fence to enclose the newly acquired area. He agreed to participate in 50% of those costs up to approximately $300. 4). Mr. Sibbald would then hydroseed the area. 5). Mr. Sibbald would also install the bikepath and the adjacent landscaping and perpetually maintain the bikepath and the adjacent landscaping between the fences. Joe Frank is to meet with the City Arborist to determine suitable landscaping for the area to be maintained by Cunningham Corners. We will let you know what the results are. I need from you now an updated map (8.5"xll") and legal description showing the waterline easement, the bikepath easement, and the utility easement adjacent to Gunnison Drive.

Collins, CO 80522 Re: Stormwater Utility Dear Mr. Mercer: In response to your letter of January 6 and our subsequent phone discussion, you should know that we find the City's reason for increasing Cunningham Corner's storm drainage fees by $55,000 suspect. As we are informed by our consulting engineer, your department is questioning the reliability of the computer model TST presently is using to calculate detention and release flows. If that be the case, it should be between your department and TST to clarify or come to an understanding, relative to the computer model. Further, according to TST, the Drainage Study used to evaluate Cunningham Corner's downstream flow allows us to release 17 c.f.s. The 1983 drainage report still. maintained the 17 c.f.s. release rate. The most recent drainage report still has Cunningham Corner releasing 17 c.f.s The point being that the release rate has not changed and if in fact "the City's policy is to recognize a developer's efforts to reduce our site's total runoff rate", why are our fee's increased? Finally, we question the timing of the City's revelation. It seems to us that information relative to City fee cost should be injected much earlier in the lengthy City planning process. Especially increases in fee costs that may effect the developer's evaluation of his project. We look forward to your response. Very truly yours, Z i l"' " Thomas R.

As we have briefly discussed, Five Oaks at Cunningham Corner is entitled to a reduction in their basin fees per section 93-11 of the City Code. The Development Agreement included an estimated cost of eligible improvements of $7,961.ZS for which we have already been billed $S,737.50. It seems prudent to withhold a percentage of the estimated cost as a contingency to insure we do not inadvertently provide more credit than is actually due, and then be unable to recover that amount. Based on the somewhat course nature of the estimates, I think it best if that contingency is set at 20%. Therefore, please provide this development with $6,369.00 of basin fee credit. We will provide at most one other adjustment to that amount (if the costs are, substantiated) before the improvements are completed, inspected and accepted, and the final reimbursement or credit is made. 56Z •ay 16� Guw^.�1�.a.•.-. bv.Q� tz4If*I low y-Q� W w.dw.k U Tr S ` pq 5`10. 3sbs S S- qw-4, D 04k--t A-OOL oWZ-- P/zz & w June 17, 1986 Mr. Thomas Sibbald ,1 3565 Windmill Drive N-4 Fort Collins, CO 80526 i Dear Mr. Sibbaldr The following isin response to your petition for the reduction in the storm drainage fees for the Cunningham Corners PUT. As we discussed, I was designated by the Public Works Administrator to hear this petition on her behalf. This correspondence will address my determination on the petition. Background As identified in the City code, the storm drainage basin fees for new development are based on that site's area, runoff coefficient, basin fee base rate, and the detention reduction factor. The detention reduction factor is based on the area of the site, the runoff coefficients, and the detention storage provided by that site. When the drainage basin fees were established, the detention reduction factor was used to provide a credit for the amount of storage a development is providing before its storm runoff is discharged into the drainage system. In 1979, the Cunningham Corner PUD master plan proposed a detention pond some 5.81 acre feet in capacity. The design of this pond was performed by the rational method with a release rate of 9 cfs. Approximately ---- building permits .for the Cunningham Corner PUDShave been issued based on this detention volume, and its -------- basin fee calculation Please resubmit three prints indicating the revisions. It is not necessary to pay any additional fees. If you have any questions, please call the Planning Department at 221-6750. Sincerely: Ted Shepard Senior Planner xc: Rodney Albers, Stormwater Systems Supervisor and +uL rjan4iri� 1ayn (�Crru*f In 1980, the Foothi is Basin Drainage Master plan was adopted with the same C' w 5 v oc�1h pond �g a capacity of 3.61 acre feet as t'e1Y p data-in-wate�ican the plannPri unit dekce ^^Q ^i �Jhe release rate fcem-44i-s of detention—aEility was 16 cfs. These computations were performed by the Storm Water Management r�iiodel, or SWMM computer model. This model is more sophisticated than the rational method, because of its rating capabilities detailed input parameters. In 1985, the final development plans for the Five Oaks PUD was submitted and approved. The Hydra runoff model was utilized to calculate the detention volumes, and it was found a detention pond of 2.6 acre feet in 1-7 size was adequate to serve the site with a release rate of-15"cfs. Again, this computer model is similar to the SWMM as it is more sophisticated than the rational method. The final design drawings for the development show a total capacity of the pond with the pond's freeboard included as being 3.9 ac. ft. In November of 1985, staff informed you the revised drainage fees for the entire site, 39 acres, would be increased over the originally calculated drainage fees because the detention storage was being reduced from 5.81 acre feet to 2.15 acre feet. A total difference for the entire 39 acres of some $55,000 in drainage fees. No building permits have been issued based on this new fee computation. Even though the detention storage has been reduced by the detailed analysis and the increased release rates, the surface area has basically remained the same. The detention pond layout has been incorporated into the site's open space. Conclusion Given all the information I have gathered, it is my recommendation the drainage basin 1`ees for the Cunningham Corner PUD be based on a detention volume of 4 acre feet. This would represent a 54% increase in the detention volume that would be used for the computations to calculate the all detention's reduction factor. This would also show the $55,000 amount be reduced by ---- percent. If this is acceptable, the total drainage basin T, fees increase for the Cunningham Corners PUd would be reduced from the previously mentioned $55,000 to �QCNV4C �e, W65 6 G^ Again, given: rt. —Mc , +),0- VIA �Ee 13 1FIti�cj 17C,-� 1tk. ) ;c) mtr2 4ay) jm6+PW Cu�c,(Jy kUS c hanF 1.

Part of that Development Agreement called for irprovements to be made to "Phase H of the Cunnirx;ham Corner Master Plan". In September 1985, Metcalf, Ltd. entered into another Development Agreement for Five Oaks Village covering Phase H of the Cunningham Corner Master Plan or "Tract D of chestnut Village", as it was then legally known. This new development reconfigured and platted this parcel of land and contained it within this new development for Five Oaks Village, Tracts A, B & C. The City's Storm Drainage Department states that the completion of the storm drainage improvements is a function of the building construction.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Attn: Mr. Bob Smith and Mr. Tom Gathman Suzanne Bassinger and I appreciated the time you took to meet with us last Wednesday (April 10, 1985) to discuss the present and future storm drainage concerns of Cunningham Corner and some adjacent properties. Belay is a summarization of our discussions and decisions. 1. Tract "H" must became a Detention Facility before the future Tracts "A" "C" "D" and "G" are constructed. The construction of a Detention Facility will necessitate an outfall channel and downstream improvements. The swale/channel improvements through Sun Disk Village and Foothills Park will be "temporary" except that the culvert under Colony Drive will be constructed to final size per the Foothills Basin Master Plan. If agreements can not be reached with downstream entities the development of Tract "A" can utilize a retention facility until agreements can be reached. 2. The release rate from the detention pond will be limited to the 2 year historic rate for each phase as it develops with a final release rate of 17 cfs. 3. Shields Street to the centerline and adjacent is a part of Cunningham Corner and this runoff must pass through the Detention Facility. 4. The construction costs for improvements associated with the development are borne by the developer. 5. Construction costs for improvements on site that are required for Foothills Drainage Basin may qualify for credit against the drainage basin fees due when building permits are issued. 6. The construction costs for improvements in the Sun Disk and Foothills Park P.U.D.'s borne by the Cunningham Corner developer will be a direct cash pay back, upon completion, from the City of Fort Collins. These reimbursable costs include preliminary (sane costs incurred to date) engineering, final design engineering, construction, and construction loan interest.

If you could contact me at my office, phone #223-3027, any weekday, we can ar— range a time to discuss your wishes. Sincerely, Thomas R.

J I I SCALE 1'- 20' o a I MITA 07 KI STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES FOR THE CUNNINGHAM CORNER MASTER PLAN The amendment to the Master Plan of Cunningham Corner, like the currently approved plan, is comprised of a variety of housing types with a central shared recreation amenity, complimented by a convenience commercial site and an office park employing approximately 350 persons. This plan is in compliance with the following criteria of the Fort Collins Land Use Policies Plan: Close proximity to employment, recreation and shopping facilities. Greater than three units to the acre. Does provide for a mix of housing densities. As a higher density residential use, is located near a regional shopping center and neighborhood park facilities and has access to public transportation. The purpose of amending the Master Plan is to omit the connection of Windmill Drive to Woodwest subdivision, thereby addressing two major con- cerns. First, the residents of Woodwest have raised strong objections to the street connection. Second, Tract A planned for townhomes, and Tract H, an open space and detention area, could then be integrated into a unified site plan and not function as two parcels separated by a drive. The elimi- nation of the proposed connector street will not adversely affect traffic flow or compromise emergency services to Woodwest subdivision. Location and densities of residential parcels will remain similar to the current Master Plan. The proposed housing types are combined with the existing neighborhoods to form a logical progression of densities from single family to townhomes to medium density condominiums adjacent to the office and commercial center at the intersection of Shields and Horsetooth. The Master Plan will accommodate 230 units and 87,000 square feet of office and commercial building. Chestnut Village is under construction and is therefore not included within the proposed Master Plan. The various uses are connected by landscaped buffers providing pedestrian access without crossing streets or parking lots. Units are oriented towards landscaped areas to optimize privacy to balconies and patios. Emphasis on streetscapes along the arterial streets and drives within this development will be reinforced by creative site design and landscape treat- ment.
