BUILDING DEPARTNIIE
1.1 Existing Site
The Stein building located at 531 East Cooper Avenue in Aspen, CO, is an existing two-story mixed-use
building constructed in 1888. This property is a 0.149 Acre Lot and is located within the Aspen Mountain
Drainage Basin,with commercial space on the main level and residential units on the second floor. This
historic structure is located southwest of the intersection of Hunter Avenue and Cooper Avenue,with the
alleyway to the south of the property and another commercial building to the West.
The sidewalk along the East side of the building is 8' wide with a strip of pavers between the sidewalk
and the curb and gutter following Hunter Avenue. The sidewalk following Cooper Avenue is 5' wide with
a similar paver buffer.Trees are interspersed within the paver buffer along both streets. The curb and
gutter slopes north along Hunter Ave to the intersection,then follows the flow line to the west along
Cooper Ave. An existing bidirectional curb ramp is located at the intersection, and an alley ramp is
located southeast of the property. All runoff from the street and the right of way flows into the curb and
gutter, and is collected by an inlet on Hunter Ave just south of the bidirectional curb. Any runoff that is
not collected by this inlet then continues to flow down the curb and gutter to another inlet on Cooper Ave
further to the west. The alley behind the building is asphalt and is relatively flat. There is an existing
landscaped area between the alleyway and the Stein building, including trees, shrubs,patios,walkways,
fences, and a concrete parking space. Many doors into the existing structure surround the south, east, and
north side of the structure.
The shallow utilities are all located in the alley to the south of the site, along with the sanitary sewer. A
transformer and communications pedestals are located between the Stein Building and the neighboring
structure. The water service runs to the north of the site and ties into the water main located in Cooper
Avenue.
A Geotechnical Report has been performed by H-P Kumar for this project and was produced on
September 24,2018. The borings logged on September 12,2018 were used for all calculations and
percolation test information included in this document. The borings were performed in the concrete
parking located on the south portion of the site. The subsoils encountered consist of about 4-5 feet of
sandy and gravely fill,overlying sand and gravel slightly silty with cobbles. The percolation test results
confirmed a rate of 5 minutes per inch,or 12 inches per hour.
1.2 Proposed Conditions
This project is classified as a `Major Project under 25%of the site' as per Table 1.1 of the URMP. The
proposed development is over 1000 square feet and disturbs an area of approximately 1600 square feet.,
just under 25%of the site. The intent of this report is to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of
the Urban Runoff Management Plan(URMP). The Low Impact Design(LID)Principles in the
introduction of the URMP were used as a guide throughout the design process.
The proposed project onsite consists of a remodel of the interior of the existing structure,an addition to
the structure between it and the alley, a new stairway access from the alleyway, a trash enclosure and a
4

ASPEN patio. The majority of the civil design and disturbance is occurring in the right of way for
BUILDING DEPAgrgerywayright of way improvements.
To the east of the project,the alley ramp, sidewalk, curb and gutter, and half of the street asphalt is being
regraded to better meet the City of Aspen Engineering Standards. The existing pavers are being removed
and a planting area is to be utilized within this area instead. The road is being adjusted to reduce the cross
slope, and the existing inlet and vault are being replaced. The curb ramps at the intersection have been
redesigned as well to match the to-be constructed curb ramps across the street that will be constructed in
the spring, including a bulbout into Cooper Avenue. To the north of the structure,a new,wider 8'
sidewalk is proposed, along with a planting buffer and new curb and gutter. The curb and gutter along
Cooper Avenue has been moved further into the street to allow for more pedestrian space, as discussed
previously with The City of Aspen Engineering Department. The proposed design in the right of way
does not affect the historical drainage patterns, and the planting buffers decrease the impervious area.
Because of this,no hydrological calculations were performed for offsite analysis.
Onsite,the runoff from the addition will be collected through a system of roof drains, gutters, and
downspouts and routed to a drywell located to the south of the structure. The patios and stairways are
sloped to inlets,where runoff will be conveyed to the drywell as well. The drainage infrastructure from
the existing roof will be maintained, as this is not being disturbed.
The utilities on the site require updates given the remodel. The existing transformer does not have a vault
underneath or an easement, so it is proposed to develop an easement, install a vault and relocate the
transformer so that all setbacks are met, and relocate the service to the building. The existing
communications pedestals will be utilized in the remodel;however,the service to the building will be
relocated. The gas line will be upgraded as necessary and relocated to the southeast portion of the
structure. The existing sanitary service will be utilized pending inspection by the contractor. If necessary,
the service can be replaced.A new larger water service is proposed to tap into the water line north of the
site. This 4-inch line will replace the existing 2-inch line to meet the capacity requirements for the
proposed fire sprinkler system.
1.3 Previous Drainage Studies
The City completed a Drainage Master Plan in November 2001 using the consultant WRC, and is part of
the basin that feeds into system 3.
Figure 7.1 of the URMP defines the mudflow zones for the City of Aspen. This property is not impacted
by mudflow.
1.4 Offsite Drainage & Constraints
There is no offsite drainage that impacts the property. The proposed development will not impact any
irrigation ditches or waterways.
2.0 Drainage Basins and Sub-basins
The disturbed area was analyzed as a single drainage basin,which was then subdivided into smaller sub-
basins. Basin and Sub-basin delineations are shown on Sheets C5 of the permit drawings. These sheets

ASPP -rvious areas,runoff coefficients,peak flows, and the required volume of runoff to be detained.
BUILDING DEPA u Basins were created to calculate the maximum flow entering each inlet of the proposed storm
systems. The sub-basin peak flows were then used to size pipes and inlet capacities.
2.1 Drainage Basins
Basin 1 is 1537.31 square feet and is 100%impervious. The majority of the basin is the roof of the
addition on the southernmost side of the residence. The downspouts can tie directly into the proposed
drywell,which has capacity for full detention of this basin for a 100-year storm. Small portions of patios
and stairwells are conveyed to the drywell as well.
2.2 Peak Discharge Calculations
The peak flows were calculated for each Major Basin for 10 and 100 year storm events. Rainfall intensity
was calculated using a Time of Concentration(Td)of 5 minutes. Actual Time of Concentration on the
site is significantly less than 5 minutes,but according to the City of Aspen URMP, equations used to
calculate rainfall intensity are only valid for a Time of Concentration of greater than 5 minutes so the
smallest valid Time of Concentration value was used. The 1 hour Rainfall depth(Pi), given in Table 2.2
as 0.73 inches for a 10-year event and 1.23 inches for a 100-year event. Equation 2.1 was referenced
when solving for the Rainfall Intensity(I).
I=88.8P1/(10+Td)1.052 (Equation 2.1)
Runoff Coefficients(C),a function of the Soil Group(in this case B)and the percentage of impervious area
within each sub basin were developed using Figure 3.2.The Runoff Coefficient(C)was then multiplied by
the Rainfall Intensity(I)and the acreage of each Major Basin(A)to determine the peak discharge for each
Major Basin.
Qp =CIA
Q, =Peak Discharge(cfs)
A =Area(Acres)
I =Rainfall intensity(inches per hour)
C =Runoff Coefficient
These peak flow values were used to calculate the size of the proposed detention and conveyance
structures, such as drywells, inlets and pipes. The tables below contain the peak flows for developed and
undeveloped conditions for 10-and 100-year storm events.

3.0 Low Impact Site Design
3.1 Principles
Principle 1: Consider storm water quality needs early in the design process.
The Grading and Drainage design was coordinated between the architect,landscape architect and civil
engineering teams throughout the design process. Multiple site visits ensured proper understanding of
existing conflicts and opportunities to improve existing onsite drainage patterns.
Principle 2: Use the entire site when planning for storm water quality treatment.
Storm water quality was considered in the design of every part of the site that is being affected by the
proposed construction. Gutters and downspouts will be added to collect runoff from the roof and routed
to either to a drywell or screened rock.
Principle 3: Avoid unnecessary impervious area.
7
RECEIVED
1/7/2019
ASPP the building is the majority of the property. Therefore,the potential for pervious space is
BUILDING DEPA till
nonexistent. However,planting areas were added to the right of way design, so there are improvements
offsite that allow for additional pervious space.
Principle 4: Reduce runoff rates and volumes to more closely match natural conditions.
All runoff from proposed surfaces on the property is collected and routed to a drywell. Because the
drywell is sized to fully detain a 100-year storm event,runoff rates from the property will be greatly
reduced.
Principle 5: Integrate storm water quality management and flood control.
The use of the drywells to collect runoff from all impervious surfaces simultaneously aids in storm water
quality and flood control on the site.
Principle 6: Develop storm water quality facilities that enhance the site,the community and the
environment.
The use of the two chambered drywell for water quality reduces the runoff of sediment and contaminants
from the site. This reduces the site's effect on the Roaring Fork River and the community. Significant
right of way work is proposed with this design, improving pedestrian sidewalks,bidirectional curb ramps,
and replacing an existing vault and inlet.None of the surfaces are for vehicular use, so no sand-oil
interceptor is necessary.
Principle 7: Use treatment train approach.
Given the layout of this project, it was difficult to apply the treatment train approach. The use of sumps
along the pipe networks captures sediment at each inlet instead of in the drywell.Also,the proposed
sidewalks slope into the planting area before overflowing into the curb and gutter and allowing for
treatment.
Principle 8: Design sustainable facilities that can be safely maintained.
Inlets and piping will be vacuumed or flushed periodically to maintain adequate flow. Proper grading
reduces dangerous slopes and proper drainage to reduce ice buildup. Sidewalks are snowmelted to ensure
that the sidewalks are properly maintained. The drywell is located in an easily accessible location.
Principle 9: Design and maintain facilities with public safety in mind.
All right of way updates were designed to ensure the public safety. The curb ramps, sidewalks, and
entryways are designed to minimize steep slopes.The sidewalk is snowmelted,reducing risk of ice and
dangerous conditions in the public right of way.

4.1 Storm Recurrence and Rainfall
The property is located outside of the commercial core but is served by a storm drains so this property
classifies as a"Sub-urban area served by public storm sewer". The total site is required to meet either
the Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) and release into the right of way, or have detention for a
100-year historical storm events.
The 1 hour Rainfall depth(Pi) is given in Table 2.2 as 0.73 inches for the 10-year event and 1.23 inches
for the 100-year event. The Intensity in inches per hour for different storm duration(I) is calculated using
the Equation 2.1 from the Aspen URMP.
4.2 Peak Runoff and Storage Volumes Methodology
Using the peak flows for each Major Basin established in section 2.2, storage requirements were
calculated for full detention as there was not a feasible option to tie into the existing storm system.
Drywell A was sized for full detention of a 100 year storm event. The table below shows storage volume
requirements for the proposed detention systems.

Drywells must be inspected and maintained quarterly to remove sediment and debris that has washed into
them. Minimum inspection and maintenance requirements include the following:
• Inspect drywells at least four times a year and after every storm exceeding 0.5 inches.
• Dispose of sediment, debris/trash, and any other waste material removed from a drywell at suitable
disposal sites and in compliance with local, State, and Federal waste regulations.
• Routinely evaluate the drain-down time of the drywell to ensure the maximum time of 24 hours is
not being exceeded.If drain-down times are exceeding the maximum,drain the drywell via pumping
and clean out the percolation area (the percolation barrel may be jetted to remove sediment
accumulated in perforations. If slow drainage persists,the system may need to be replaced.
