Geologic constraint and geologic hazard definitions are very good.
Adding mitigation of geologic constraints in section 8.4.1(B) is appreciated.
Section 8.4.9 (Geology and Soils Standards and Report) edits are good.
CGS has no edits, but appreciates the opportunity to review this and any future iterations.

chapter 8
We do not have a septic restriction on 100year floodplain to do so would render some parcels un buildable in a zones which are highly inaccurate,

Also there are provisions in the RBC to allow buildings in the a and AE zones

chapter 8 comments
regarding "unsuitable building areas" and "OWTS"
We do not have a septic restriction on 100year floodplain to do so would render some parcels unbuildable in a zones which are highly inaccurate in some cases. Also there are provisions in the RBC to allow buildings in both A and AE zones which conflicts with EPC "unsuitable building area" section


Unsuitable Building Areas
Areas within lots or tracts which reflect one or more of the following characteristics shall be deemed unsuitable for building and shall be identified as no build areas on the plat:
Areas not suitable for location of water or sewage disposal systems as determined by State and County health regulations.
Areas where slopes are greater than 30%.
Areas of identified or designated geologic, soil, or natural hazards as identified in the geology and soils report or designated in the El Paso County hazard identification inventory; provided that the limitations cannot be overcome through the application of specialized engineering or mitigation.
Areas within the l00-year floodplain as reflected on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), within proposed boundaries as reflected in LOMR/CLOMR, or as determined by a flood study as approved by the Floodplain Administrator.
Areas within easements, without the permission or release from the beneficiary of the easement holder.

Two OWTS Sites Required for All Lots or Parcels
All lots shall be designed to ensure that each lot has a minimum of 2 sites appropriate for OWTS which do not fall in the restricted areas identified on the preliminary plan; soils and geology report delineated wetlandor floodplainmaps; or other reports required under this Code.
