Review 1:
Drainage -
1. Provide a design point with flowrates at the ultimate discharge (Monument Creek and Baptist Road crossing). Discharge post development into the unincorporated El Paso County must remain at or below historic rate.

Traffic -
1. Access permit application must be submitted by the applicant to El Paso County Department of Public Works (DPW) on behalf of the Town of Monument for the proposed access at Forest Lakes Drive. Work-in-the-ROW permit will be required for improvements within the County Right-of-Way. Contact DPW at 719-520-6460.
2. Looking through the GIS, it appears Baptist Road changes to Forest Lakes Drive as it continues west of Hay Creek Road. Page 2 of the report incorrectly notes study intersection as "Baptist Road/Site Access Points". Verify and revise the street name throughout the report accordingly.
3. TIS noted on page 3 that Synthes Avenue (collector) will eventually connect to Forest Lakes across from a private drive west of Hay Creek Road (Collector).

Prelim / Final PD Site Plan -
1. Add a general note stating "There shall be no direct lot access to Forest Lakes Drive.
