The following comments were presented at the Airport Advisory Commission meeting held on September 22, 2022 with no objections:

• Avigation Easement: An avigation easement is requested or provide proof of previous recording (book/page or reception number) for development plan/plat.

• FAA Form 7460-1: If use of equipment (permanent or temporary) will exceed 200 feet above ground level in height at this site, the applicant is to file an airspace evaluation case with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and provide the results to the Airport before the commencement of construction activities.

The address for the new lot 1 is 8290 Mustang Place. Please add this new address to the final plat.

Standard Final Plat comments apply:

• Enumerations will review the mylar prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block.
• A $10.00 per lot and tract platting fee will be due at the time of the review of the mylar, (two addresses per lot and tract). If an address is not needed on a tract then no fee applies. Check should be made out to PIKES PEAK REGIONAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT or PPRBD. Paid directly to the Enumerations Department. An additional over the phone transaction fee of $3.50 will apply for any credit card payment.
• A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL. BeckyA@pprbd.org (Please email the Enumerations staff that reviewed your project).

8330 Mustang Place (38.9542, -104.6733) is not described with any geologic hazards or unusual geotechnical constraints in the Soil, Geology, and Wastewater Study (RMG Engineering, January 26, 2022). The conclusions and identification of geologic hazards in RMG’s report is based in part on two test pits dug to 8-feet. RMG describes the potential for expansive soil and bedrock although none were encountered in the test pits. RMG states p. “Based on the test pits performed by RMG for this investigation and our experience with similar materials in this area, the sand generally posses low swell potential. However, the Dawson formation is known to have moderate to high swell potential in some locations.” There are other subsurface geologic conditions that are known in this general area that can impose hazards or constraints to residential construction at this location. These include the potential for collapsible or loose soils, shallow groundwater, shallow hard bedrock, and perched groundwater on the shallow bedrock. There may also be erosion hazards to the sandy soils that also may be susceptible to scour erosion associated with the Physiographic Floodplain depicted in RMG’s Figure 6. This potential for scour erosion should be evaluated by the Civil Engineer for this lot (Lot 1 in Figure 6) to help determine the locations of residential or other types of structures.
CGS recommends that the County require the Soil, Geology, and Wastewater Study be expanded to include evaluation for these other geologic hazards and constraints known to exist in this area, specifically shallow groundwater and shallow bedrock. This type of investigation typically includes test borings of sufficient depth to determine groundwater and bedrock depths where both are likely to be shallow. Should groundwater be encountered or expected based on site conditions, the report should discuss the expected seasonal groundwater fluctuation expected at the site based on site-specific data.
RMG states p. 14 “The foundation systems for the proposed single-family residential structures and any retention/detention facilities should be designed and constructed based upon recommendations developed in a site-specific subsurface soil investigation.” Even with an expanded Soil and Geology study, it would be prudent for the County to require this recommendation by RMG be added as a note on the Plat. This Plat note should also state that the site-specific subsurface soil investigation required for each lot must also include drilled test holes deep enough to determine the feasibility of any basements or other anticipated habitable below-grade construction.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the plans for the 8330 Mustang Place Vacation and Replat in El Paso County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is in receipt of the above referenced permit application and is familiar with the site. Based both on the location and type of action that has been taken CPW anticipates that the impacts to the wildlife resource from this project would be negligible.

We appreciate being given the opportunity to comment. Please feel free to contact District Wildlife Manager, Aaron Berscheid, should you have any questions or require additional information at 719-439-9601 or via email at aaron.berscheid@state.co.us

Black Forest Land Use Committee
4/13/2022 7:07:18 AM
The Black Forest Land Use Committee has reviewed this proposal and recommends DENIAL. While we acknowledge that lots outside the forest to the south of the trees have been allowed to be 2.5-acres as a transition to urban densities, proposals like this set a precedent of dividing existing 5-acre lots in 5-acre developments into 2.5-acre lots. If this proposal is approved, what would stop someone in the forest from requesting the same? We advocate strongly for 5-acre density in the forest but are fearful that this is in danger with the new county master plan. The neighbors in this development purchased their lots with the understanding that 5-acre lots would give them space and lack of congestion. Approving this is different than a development planned for 2.5-acre lots from the start where each buyer knows what the plan is meant to be.

I believe this has already happened once before in this area and we were opposed to that as well.

We recommend DENIAL for the sake of the precedent it will set.
