Woodmoor Water & sanitation District No 1 has two minor comments in Section 6.3.3.C.c.: 1. How is "dead-end main" defined in the context of this code? 2. Regarding easements: Both water authorities and fire authorities will need access - would it make sense to change "or" to "and" in Section 6.3.3.C.c.viii? |

NEPCO once again reiterates the following issue that was not specifically dealt with during the latest re-write of this Code section. 1. Section 6.3.3. uses the term “approval authority” 12 times in its revision, yet it does not define who the approval authority is. 2. Under the Land Development Code, Section 1.15 Definitions: Approval Authority -- The PCD Director, the BoCC, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, El Paso County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) Administrator, Building Official, or other person or agency, depending on the type of development permit or decision specified by State Statute or this Code, sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying or conditionally approving the development permit or other requested action. 3. Therefore, what person/position is specified by State Statute or this Code and sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying, or conditionally approving the 12 decisions in Section 6.3.3.? Although the El Paso County employees/staffers may assume that they know who the approval authority is for various actions, the members of the public for which the Code is written, certainly do not. Therefore, please address in this Code section, either generally or specifically, who the Approval Authority is under State Statute or Code, and/or how one tells who the Approval Authority is when there is no State Statute or Code that appears to delegate such authority. Thank you. |

Section 6.3.3. uses the term “approval authority” 12 times in its revision, yet it does not define who the approval authority is. 2. Under the Land Development Code, Section 1.15 Definitions: Approval Authority -- The PCD Director, the BoCC, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, El Paso County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) Administrator, Building Official, or other person or agency, depending on the type of development permit or decision specified by State Statute or this Code, sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying or conditionally approving the development permit or other requested action. 3. Therefore, what person/position is specified by State Statute or this Code and sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying, or conditionally approving the 12 decisions in Section 6.3.3.? Although the Town of Monument employees/staffers may assume that they know who the approval authority is for various actions, the members of the public for which the Code is written, certainly do not. Therefore, please address in this Code section, either generally or specifically, who the Approval Authority is under State Statute or Code, and/or how one tells who the Approval Authority is when there is no State Statute or Code that appears to delegate such authority.

I have reviewed the revised Chapter 6 of the El Paso County Land Development Code and discussed my previous comments with Nina Ruiz. At this time I do not have and objections with the revised land development code changes. I do have some comments and notes from our discussion. Definition- The definition of Fire Authority: The way it is revised does not change the way the code is used or interpreted. We did discuss that the Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is a commonly used term and definition. It is suggested that this term and definition be considered for future revisions. However, whether or not this was use as the definition would not change the intent of the land development code. 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation A(3) Relationship to Other Standards. This section seamed to put the codes at odds. However, after review this section seeks alternatives from the Fire Authority and recommendations if such alternatives meet the intent of Chapter 6 of the Land Development Code and the Fire Code. Per our conversation this section does not diminish the authority of the Fire District or Fire Chief under C.R.S. 32-1-1002. 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation A(4) Responsibility of Fire Authority. “It is the responsibility of the Fire Authority to provide recommendations as to whether a new development meets the applicable fire code standards for the respective area.” I agree with this section. The next section is also correct however, it may not be how we practice the implementation of the code. “If a new development does not meet the applicable standards, then the fire authority should provide comments regarding areas of non-compliance and recommendations for achieving compliance.” I believe that the developer should also be given the option of how to meet the intent of the code through alternative design. If unable or unwilling to do so then the Fire Authority would make recommendations on how to meet the intent of the code. There should be some agreement prior to approval by the Board of County Commissioners. This is simply a difference in how we use the code to ensure compliance. This meets the general intent of both codes however we may look at revising this in the future. 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation C Design Standard (1)Water Supply (b) Automatic Fire Protection This is the only section we discussed that requires a change. It should read: Automatic Fire Protection shall be in compliance with the adopted PPRBD Regional Building Code and/or applicable adopted Fire Code. I believe the above section for Automatic Fire protection is the only one that needs to be change. Otherwise I support the other changed to Chapter 6 of the Land Development Code. Thank you for letting me be a part of the review process.

Stratmoor HIlls Fire Department
8/8/2020 9:43:54 AM |
The Stratmoor Hills Fire Protection District Objects to the revisions to the Land Development Code Section 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation. The Stratmoor Hills Fire Protection District firmly believes that Section 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation does not apply to a Fire District with an adopted Fire Code approved by the El Paso County Commissioners. The Stratmoor Hills Fire District has adopted the 2009 Intentional Fire Code with local amendments, which has been approved by the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners. This adoption and approval makes the code a law equal to the Land development code. However the state statute CRS 32-1-1002 makes the authority, responsibility and enforcement of the code a state law once approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The International Fire Code is more stringent and detailed that the Section 6.3.3 Fire Protection and wildfire Mitigation. The Stratmoor Hills Fire Protection District Intends on continuing to use the International Fire Code as an enforceable law. This being said we do believe the that Section 6.3.3 Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation is an important section for Fire Protection Districts without an adopted Fire Code. Please keep us informed of any future meetings or hearings related to this matter. See attached.

Ellicott Fire Protection District
8/6/2020 8:59:35 PM |
The Ellicott Fire Protection District objects to the purposed changes to the Land development Code Section 6.3.3, Fire Protection and Wildfire Mitigation as submitted. The basis of the changes were to remove the term Fire Marshal and replace with Fire Authority. However, the changes went far beyond simply changing the titles. First of all we believe the section Fire Protection does not apply to a Fire Protection District with an adopted Fire Code approved by the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners. However, this code is extremely important to Fire Districts without an adopted Fire Code. Per State law Fire Districts can enforce local laws pertaining to Fire Protection. The Ellicott Fire Protection District currently does not have and adopted fire code. Even with this code in-place here have been developments approved that did not conform to this code. Example a large commercial dog rescue and kennel complex without fire protection water supply. A urban/suburban development change to a PUC with residential (6,000 SQ FT) lots with 3.5 FT side set backs. This is in an area surrounded by large lots with the smallest nearby being 5 acres. The purposed hundreds of lots are in a rural volunteer fire district locate 15 miles outside of Colorado Springs. This development extremely exceeds the capabilities of the Fire Department and should never have been approved. However, we are working with the developer to make it work. Another Residential development we required a single 30,000 gallon Cistern. we have heard the developer is proceeding with the project without a Cistern and no fire protection water supply. These are just examples of how this code has not worked very well for us so far. So we have decided to adopt the 2015 International Fire code and are currently going through the approval process. I have attached a red-line version of our purposed changes to the Land Development Code Section 6.3.3 and a second document with comments. Please see attachments. We believe there needs to be more discussion on this topic. However, we request to be informed of any public hearings related to these changes. Thank you.

6.3.3.C.c: Item (ii) seems to conflict with item (v). For clarification on dead-end mains, is it that a 6" dead-end pipe cannot exceed 300 ft, an 8" dead-end pipe cannot exceed 600 ft, and no pipe less than 10" in diameter can exceed 600 ft on a dead-end main? For reference: ii. Dead-End Mains. Dead-end mains shall not exceed 600 feet in length for main sizes less than 10 inches in diameter. v. Fire Hydrant Supply Lines. Fire hydrants shall be supplied by not less than a 6 inch diameter main installed on a looped system, or by not less than an 8 inch diameter main if the system is not looped or the fire hydrant is installed on a dead-end main exceeding 300 feet in length. |

Section 6.3.3. uses the term “approval authority” 12 times in its revision, yet it does not define who the approval authority is. Under the Land Development Code, Section 1.15 Definitions: Approval Authority -- The PCD Director, the BoCC, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, El Paso County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) Administrator, Building Official, or other person or agency, depending on the type of development permit or decision specified by State Statute or this Code, sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying or conditionally approving the development permit or other requested action. Therefore, what person/position is specified by State Statute or this Code and sanctioned to make a final decision approving, denying or conditionally approving the 12 decisions in Section 6.3.3.?
