Applicant has updated Page 13 of Water Resources Plan to identify 224 lots instead of 227 lots; therefore, Requirement 2 of County Attorney's Office water review has been satisfied. Balance of water review uploaded on 4/3/21 remains accurate as submitted. Thank you. 4/7/2021 5:28:07 PM

Please remove the highlights from the LOI. The application has recently received a wastewater finding and the CAO has stated she will provide a finding shortly. This item may be scheduled for hearing. May 6th PC and May 25th BOCC are anticipated dates. Staff has incorporated the CGS comments into the staff report which will be carried forward to the final plat noted. 4/1/2021 10:00:44 AM

CGS previously reviewed this site (38.98, -104.6321), on November 18, 2020. We agree with RMG’s interpretations and conclusions in their response letter (December 31, 2020) regarding the mapped seasonal wet and potentially seasonally wet areas and the site drainages. CGS has no objections to the approval of the preliminary plan amendment as proposed. All RMG’s recommendations should be strictly adhered to especially regarding perimeter drains. Drain systems will be essential to intercept seasonal shallow groundwater and perched groundwater conditions expected at this location.

Finsbury Court – There seems to be some confusion about this one. The suffix keeps changing between Court and Drive on submitted documents.
This has been reserved as Finsbury Ct, and should be documented as such on the final document.

Kingsbury Drive – The most recent submittal indicates “Kingbury Dr” not “Kingsbury Dr” on some drawings. This was approved as Kingsbury Dr, and should be documented as such on the final document.

The County Attorney's Office will provide a review of water sufficiency after the following issues are addressed:

The letter dated 1/11/21 by Paint Brush Hills Metro District does not provide a firm commitment to serve (it states it has ability and capacity to serve) and does not indicate the specific water demand of 91.05/acre-feet/year/subdivision. Also, the letter states "Filing 14 will add 224 SFEs, requiring 8,064 af". 8,064 does not appear to be an accurate calculation. Finally, the letter states the developer is Eagle Development Company which conflicts with other documentation provided by the applicant indicating the developer is Aeroplaza, Fountain LLC.

If the developer is now Eagle Development - other documentation by the applicant will need to be revised accordingly.

As stated on page 6 of RMG’s Soil and geology report, they rely on a previous report by Entech Engineering, Inc. (Soil, Geology and Geologic Hazard Study, Paint Brush Hills, Phase 2, El Paso County, Colorado, March 5, 2004). RMG includes Entechs mapping of areas with potential for shallow groundwater but not recommendations Entech provides for areas mapped with shallow groundwater or discussion and mitigation of the geologic hazards Entech has identified.
CGS concurs in general with the geologic interpretation provided in these combined reports along with recommended mitigation by Entech for the geologic hazards and engineering constraints identified at this location. Identified geologic hazards include shallow bedrock, erosion, expansive soils, issues related to seasonally shallow groundwater, frost heave related to shallow groundwater, artificial fill, potential groundwater seepage, shallow bedrock, perched groundwater (flowing on top of bedrock and within sandstone lenses).
Areas of seasonal shallow groundwater and the potential for shallow groundwater have been mapped and Entech has recommended that basements not be allowed in these areas and/or site grading raise the areas impacted. In addition, RMG states that an existing drainage has been infilled without records indicating if drain recommendations were followed. As infilled drainages can become conduits for groundwater CGS recommends that the lots in the area of the infilled drainage (map unit valley infill “Vi”) also exclude basements or below grade areas.
The following is a list of lots potentially impacted by shallow groundwater as determined from RMG’s Figure 14 that includes both Entech’s mapping and RMG’s valley infill area. CGS recommends basement feasibility for at least the following lots be determined by analysis of site grading and a seasonal groundwater monitoring program. Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 26, 54, 55, 56, 91, 92, 93, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 108, 109, 110, 118, 119, 121, 122, 123, 124, 126, 127, 128, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 165, 166, 167, 168, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 206, 207, 208, 215, 216, 224.
Both RMG and Entech evaluated groundwater conditions in seasons where groundwater levels are typically at their lowest (September and January respectively). The shallow, unconfined aquifer beneath the site will typically have higher water levels in the spring and summer months and in years of above average rain and snow. The lot-specific soil investigations recommended by RMG do not typically perform groundwater monitoring as is required by the Engineering Criteria Manual in areas with potential for shallow groundwater. Impacts from shallow groundwater on feasibility of basement or below grade development is indeterminate without groundwater monitoring over seasonal variations.
CGS recommends:
• If basement or below grade areas are desired for the impacted lots, groundwater monitoring that follows the guidance El Paso Counties Engineering Criteria manual be conducted in the seasonally wet (map unit “sw”), potentially seasonally wet (map unit “psw”), or valley infill (map unit “Vi”) through at least the high groundwater seasons (spring and summer) and discussions about impacts from seasonal groundwater be added to an updated soils and geology study. Site grading plans indicate up to 6 feet of fill in some areas potentially impacted by shallow groundwater which will help determine feasibility of basements along with groundwater monitoring;
• The soils and geology study be updated prior to final development plan and plat to include discussions of all the identified geologic hazards and results of seasonal groundwater monitoring should basement or below grade areas be desired in the identified lots potentially impacted by shallow groundwater;
• Additional subsurface investigation is conducted for the updated study to further characterize the potential for groundwater seepage and perched groundwater including locations of sandstone lenses that can be conduits for groundwater; and,
• A note is added to the Preliminary Plan stating that no basement construction is allowed without groundwater monitoring for lots impacted or potentially impacted by shallow groundwater (map units “sw”, “psw”, and “Vi”).
