Re: Elk Meadows Subdivision (Lot 5): Drainage Analysis
Martin/Martin, Inc. Project No.:13.0874
Mr. Kassmel:
Martin/Martin, Inc. has completed a review of the drainage basin tributary to the Elk Meadows Subdivision
in Vail, Colorado. The purpose of the analysis is two-fold:
1. To correctly size the proposed driveway culvert associated with the new single-family home to be
constructed on Lot 5; and
2. To verify the gulley’s capacity to convey the 100-year storm event south of the Lot without
adversely impacting either Lot 5 or the existing residence south of Lot 5.
Based on a site visit, coupled with a review of 1994 Town of Vail aerial topographical information, it appears
that Buffehr Creek Road is crowned with a defined ditch along the north side. Therefore, the area tributary
to the proposed driveway culvert is the southerly half of Buffehr Creek Road, the native grass slope between
Buffehr Creek Road and Lot 5, and a portion of the roof for the new home to be constructed on Lot 5. It was
determined that this basin is approximately 0.19 acres in area and estimated to be 41% impervious. The
basin delineation is included on Sheet C3.5.
The Rational Method was utilized to analyze the runoff from the basin. It was determined that the 100-year
flow rate toward the proposed culvert beneath the driveway connection to Lot 5 is an estimated 0.8 CFS. An
18-inch reinforced concrete pipe at 10.9% slope can convey approximately 35 CFS. Therefore, the culvert is
substantially over-sized but is the minimum size permitted per Town of Vail standards.
Per the previous drainage analysis completed for Lots 1 and 3 (dated June 17, 2014), the 100-year flow rate
through the gulley south of Lot 5 is estimated to be 173 CFS. One cross section through the gulley was
evaluated to identify the resulting capacity after filling the north half of the gulley to construct the home on
Lot 5. The narrowest corridor is at the southwest end of the retaining wall parallel to the southerly limit of
Lot 5.
As shown on the attached calculations, the resulting water surface elevation is estimated to be 8278.8
during the 100-year storm event. This is approximately one foot lower than the lowest surveyed existing
grade along the north side of the existing home south of the gulley, and 10 feet below the proposed finished
floor of the proposed home on Lot 5.
In summary, the proposed driveway culvert for the Elk Meadows Subdivision Lot 5 has been designed to
pass the 0.8 CFS, 100-year storm event below-grade. Additionally, the proposed fill within the existing

gulley is not anticipated to result in flooding of either the existing residence south of the gulley or Lot 5
during the 173 CFS, 100-year storm event.
Refer to the attachments for corresponding calculations.
Let me know if you have any questions.
