Coal Mine Ave., Suite 419 Littleton, Colorado 80123 Voice 303-232-8088 Fax 303-232-5255 February 9, 2011 Mr. Glen Schlueter City of Fort Collins Stormwater Engineering 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522 RE: Mountain View Eye Specialists - Lot 2 Rigden Farms Fifteenth Filing Dear Mr. Schlueter, As a part of the Project Development Plan submittal of the above referenced project, Perception Design Group has examined the existing approved drainage report for the site as compared to the proposed development. The site was originally studied by CLC Associates in a report entitled "Preliminary Drainage Study for Rigden Farm Tract A" and dated December 8, 2009. In this report assumptions were made as to the drainage basin demarcation, impervious coverage, and runoff outfall location. Included in the appendix is the original CLC drainage map, selected pages of the Study, as well as a drainage map created for the Mountain View site. Grading along the basin lines is unchanged from that presented on the CLC map. The original basin lines are overlain on the Mountain View drainage map. Minimal grading changes are proposed in the vicinity of the basin lines therefore drainage basins remain as shown on the CLC map. In the text of the CLC report assumptions are made for the future imperviousness of basins A and B. Basin A will have no change in impervious coverage from that presented in the CLC report. Basin B assumes an impervious coverage of 90%. Actual impervious calculations for the Mountain View project indicate an impervious value of 75.7% for Basin B. Impervious calculations are based upon the lot area within basin A as well as the ROW out to the median as shown on the drainage map. Therefore, impervious coverage is in conformance with that presented in the CLC Study. On the CLC map, runoff from Basin A is directed to the northeast corner of Lot 3 indicated as design point 2. A concrete trickle pan is in place along the north side of lot 3 to intercept runoff and convey it to design point 2. This trickle channel is extended across the north side of lot 2 to convey storm water from the Mountain View project to design point 2. Additionally a trickle channel is added along the east side of lot 2 to bring parking lot runoff around the building and prevent runoff from entering lot 3 where a future building or improvements may be constructed. Runoff in Basin B is not altered from the CLC plan with the exception of adding a curb to the south side of the access drive. Storm water will flow along the curb and discharge into the ditch as originally intended in the CLC study. As the ultimate outfall location for site runoff is unchanged from the CLC Study, outfall location is in compliance with the CLC study. The CLC Study indicates water quality for Rigden Farms 151h Filing is provided in Water Quality Pond #2 as presented in the "Rigden Farm, Filing One Drainage Report (Master) Mountain View Eye Specialists — Response to Conceptual Comments Page 8 of 8 Snow Load Live Load: 30 PSF / Ground Snow Load 30 PSF.
