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.

5/16/2023 7:03:45 AM 		Academy District 20 is in receipt of File# PUDSP222 for approval of Copper Chase at Sterling Ranch I.

Academy District 20 is requesting land dedication in lieu of fees per the existing El Paso County Code for all residential development within the Sterling Ranch Sketch Plan located within District boundaries as previously requested for all residential development within Sterling Ranch. The District is requesting that fees NOT BE collected as per previous responses regarding Sterling Ranch. The District is aware that Classic Homes is assuming the development of Sterling Ranch and that 2 school sites will be reserved within the Revised Sketch Plan. The District has been in discussions with Classic Homes regarding this filing; however, an agreement regarding the school sites between Classic Homes, SR Land, El Paso County, and District 20 has not been finalized for the District 20 Board of Education to consider. Any agreement that District 20 would enter into must first be approved by the Board of Education. The District intends to utilize the land credits for ALL of Sterling Ranch in the future to pay for the sites being proposed by Classic Homes.

If you need additional information or clarification, please contact me.

11/7/2022 11:57:20 AM 		Colorado Geological Survey’s previous comments dated 4/25/2022 have generally been addressed. Specifically, the statement “No basements below grade are proposed for this site” is included in General Note 11 of the PUD Development Plan (N.E.S., Inc., 7/21/2022). Provided Entech’s recommendations are adhered to, CGS has no objection to approval. We offer the following comment.

Page 11 of Entech’s revised report (Entech Engineering, Job No. 191088, March 7, 2022) states, “Where shallow groundwater is encountered, underslab drains or interceptor drains may be necessary.” As individual underdrains are typically tied to the storm sewer system or underdrain system that gravity discharges to a daylight outfall, CGS recommends that underdrain systems are designed early in the design stage and noted on the plans. No drawings were included with the current referral documents showing an underdrain system. An underdrain system should be allowed ONLY if it can gravity discharge to a daylight outfall or is connected to an existing underdrain system that gravity discharges to a daylight outfall.

11/7/2022 11:15:42 AM 		1. Again, For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door.
Provide a 100 scale copy or larger of the entire APPROVED development plan (d.p.) to this department so that addressing can be assigned. Once received, the development plan will be placed on a list to be addressed. Development plans that are not yet approved may be addressed, however additional plan review fees will accrue if changes are made to the D.P. after initial addressing.

11/3/2022 2:59:39 PM 		This subdivision is now served by the Falcon Area Water and Wastewater Authority. The Water Resources Report dated October 2022 cites a water demand of 52.13 AF/year for the development to be supplied by the Authority. All other documentation, including the WSIS, water commitment letter, and SEO letter, cites a lower water demand figure to be supplied by Sterling Ranch Metropolitan District No. 1. Please upload updated documents that reconcile the water demand across all documents and cites the correct water supplier. 11/3/2022 2:59:39 PM

Colorado Geological Survey
4/25/2022 9:58:50 AM 		Colorado Geological Survey review of Copper Chase Sterling Ranch I Preliminary Plan (Amy Crandall, acrandall@mines.edu):

The available referral documents include a Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Study, Copper Chase at Sterling Ranch (Entech Engineering, Job No. 191088, March 7, 2022), Preliminary Plan (N.E.S., Inc., March 25, 2022), Letter of Intent (N.E.S., Inc., April 2022), Grading and Erosion Control Plans (M&S Civil Consultants, Inc., December 31, 2021), and other documents.

As noted on page 8 of Entech’s Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Study, the hazards identified on this site include artificial fill, hydrocompaction, potentially expansive soils, and shallow groundwater areas. Additionally, Entech’s Engineering Geology/Geology Map (figure 7) separates the site into the following: shallow groundwater area (sw) and hydrocompaction (h). According to Entech (page 2), “No basements below grade are proposed for this site.” Entech makes appropriate preliminary recommendations for mitigating the site’s hazards. We offer the following comments and recommendations.

1. In the test borings drilled for Entech’s March 7, 2022 study (TB-3 and TB-4), groundwater was encountered at 4 and 19 below grade during drilling and at the surface following precipitation events and runoff. Entech states on page 11 that it is their “understanding that no basements” are proposed for all lots; however, they also state, “The suitability of the site for below-grade areas should be evaluated after addition investigation following site grading and storm sewer construction.” Due to the very shallow groundwater conditions at the Sterling Ranch development, BASEMENT LEVELS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

2. General Note 7 of the preliminary plan states, “In Areas of High Groundwater: Due to high groundwater in the area, all foundations shall incorporate an underground drainage system.” CGS also recommends adding a note to the plans stating that NO BASEMENTS are permitted in the Copper Chase Sterling Ranch I.

3. As noted on page 11 of Entech’s revised report, “Where shallow groundwater is encountered, underslab drains or interceptor drains may be necessary.” As individual underdrains are typically tied to the storm sewer system or underdrain system that gravity discharges to a daylight outfall, CGS recommends that underdrain systems are designed early in the design stage and noted on the plans. No drawings were included with the current referral documents showing an underdrain system. An underdrain system should be allowed ONLY if it can gravity discharge to a daylight outfall or is connected to an existing underdrain system that gravity discharges to a daylight outfall.

4. Note 28 of the Grading and Erosion Control Plans incorrectly references an RMG soils report. This note should be updated to reference Entech’s March 7, 2022 report for Copper Chase at Sterling Ranch.

In summary, CGS recommends:

• A note is added to the preliminary plans stating that no basements are permitted in the Copper Chase Sterling Ranch I.
• Underdrain systems are designed early in the design stage and noted on the plans.
• Note 28 of the GECP should be updated to reference Entech’s March 7, 2022 report.
• Entech’s recommendations are incorporated into the project planning and design. 		4/25/2022 9:58:50 AM

a. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door.
b. Provide a 100 scale copy or larger of the entire APPROVED development plan (d.p.) to this department so that addressing can be assigned. Once received, the development plan will be placed on a list to be addressed. Development plans that are not yet approved may be addressed, however additional plan review fees will accrue if changes are made to the D.P. after initial addressing.

Academy SD 20 Building Fund
4/5/2022 7:39:12 AM 		Academy District 20 is in receipt of File# PUDSP222.

Academy District 20 is requesting land dedication in lieu of fees per the existing El Paso County Code for all residential development within the Sterling Ranch Sketch Plan located within District boundaries as previously requested for all residential development within Sterling Ranch. The District is requesting that fees NOT BE collected as per previous responses regarding Sterling Ranch. The District is aware that Classic Homes is assuming the development of Sterling Ranch and that 2 school sites will be reserved within the Revised Sketch Plan. The District is waiting to receive information regarding an agreement between the county and Classic Homes which will clarify the Districts' request for land dedication for all of Sterling Ranch. The District intends to utilize the land credits for ALL of Sterling Ranch in the future to pay for the sites being proposed by Classic Homes.

If you need additional information or clarification, please contact me.
