1. Each application should be individual. Please select only PUDSP as the application type.
2. The mineral right certification states the rights were severed, but no notice was included. Please attach.
3. The acreage is inconsistent from document to document so several items will be opened up to allow you to revise throughout.
4. Several items have been opened up to allow the PCD File No. PUDSP199 to be added to each document.

Additional redlines and comments will be uploaded upon completion of the PCD engineering division review.

The Rolling Hills Ranch site (38.9881, -104.582) does not contain any geologic hazards or unusual geotechnical constraints that would preclude the proposed residential use and density. The available referral documents include a Soil, Geology and Geologic Hazard Evaluation, Meridian Ranch - Rolling Hills Ranch, Filings 1 through 4 (Entech Engineering, Inc., September 20, 2019) and a Subsurface Soil Investigation, Meridian Ranch - Rolling Hills Ranch (Entech Engineering, Inc., July 15, 2019). Entech's reports contain valid descriptions of surface and subsurface conditions, and the Subsurface Soil Investigation makes appropriate preliminary recommendations regarding site development.

Shallow groundwater and basement feasibility: Entech observed groundwater in approximately 13 borings at depths which, after planned grading cuts (based on Table 2 in both of Entech's reports), preclude full depth basement construction unless mitigation is implemented. Mitigation may consist of an underdrain system (if discharge via a gravity outfall is feasible), garden-level basement construction, etc. Subsurface water was observed at five feet or less below the ground surface (after proposed cuts) in the areas surrounding Entech's borings TB-21, TB-24, and TB-33. In the area corresponding to the southern portion of proposed Tract G behind proposed Lots 436-448, cuts are proposed which appear to result in water at or above the ground surface.

It is outside the scope of CGS review to conduct a detailed evaluation of proposed grading and observed water levels to determine whether the minimum required separation distance of three feet between lowermost floor levels and shallowest anticipated water levels can be maintained. Entech or the project engineer should evaluate this, based on planned basement floor elevations and observed water levels. Individual foundation perimeter drains are needed if below-grade space is determined to be feasible, but are intended to handle small amounts of intermittent, perched water, and are not to be used to mitigate a persistent shallow groundwater condition.

Entech should verify the accuracy of the shallow groundwater areas identified on Figure 6, Engineering Geology Map, of their Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Evaluation (September 20, 2019). Shallow groundwater was observed in borings not included in Entech's mapped "psw" and "sw" areas.

General Note 15 on Sheet 1 of the PUD Development Plan / Preliminary Plan (N.E.S. Inc., October 19, 2019), Geologic Hazards Note, lists "artificial fill, loose soils and expansive soils" as geologic conditions impacting areas of the proposed subdivision. Shallow groundwater should be added to this list.

CGS agrees with Entech that additional investigation, characterization, and analysis should be conducted after completion of overlot grading for use in determining basement feasibility and design of foundations, subsurface drainage, pavements, etc.
