1. 8455 Poco Road from 52280-00-025-the El Paso County Assessors shows that there is a single family home on the land, 52280-00-024 from 9650 Vollmer Road-Assessors shows this as vacant land.
I am not finding notes regarding the existing homes and if they will remain. Please clarity.
2. The project was titled Retreat at Prairie Ridge but being referred as PrairieRidge Fil. No. 1 in the intent letter. There is currently a platted subdivision with the name Prairie Ridge Fil No. 1, in the county. I just want to be curtain that this project plat will be called Retreat at Prairie Ridge and not PrairieRidge.
3. Can Foxglove Field Dr, Lupine Prairie Way and Golden Prairie Place be one street name?

4. Standard Development Plan comments;
a. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door.
b. Provide a 100 scale copy or larger of the entire APPROVED development plan (d.p.) to this department so that addressing can be assigned. Once received, the development plan will be placed on a list to be addressed. Development plans that are not yet approved may be addressed, however additional plan review fees will accrue if changes are made to the D.P. after initial addressing.
c. An email from El Paso-teller County 9-1-1 Authority , reserving the street names is required to be emailed to the Enumerations department. Amy Vanderbeek Amy@pprbd.org; Brent Johnson Brent@pprbd.org; or Rebekah Allen beckya@pprbd.org
d. The area south of Briargate Pkwy would be provided gas service from Colorado Springs Utilities. If underground service is needed prior to plat, submit a Utilities Addressing Plan (UAP), to Colorado Springs Utilities via the related link at https://www.csu.org/Pages/GISMapping.aspx For more information contact: Jade Swan jswan@csu.org

The Fire Protection Report is an excellent example of what the engineers and planners are capable of doing. It appears that the BFFR boilerplate position statement of "Applicants shall demonstrate full compliance and conformance with El Paso County’s adopted Land Development Code (LDC), Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM), adopted International Fire Code (IFC), and all other adopted codes, provisions, or statutes that impact fire safety to include access/egress, water supply, hardening of structures, addressing, fire protection systems, etc. The applicant shall submit a comprehensive fire protection report from a qualified fire protection engineer that is licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE) by the Colorado State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers to demonstrate conformance to all requirements. Furthermore, the District does not support any waivers or variances that negatively impact any fire safety provisions including access/egress, water supply, hardening of structures, addressing, fire protections systems, etc." was reviewed and that the applicant has put forth a good faith effort to meet the criteria of the county. Alas the County, being the authority gets to decide actual conformance.

Good job N.E.S.
