Academy District 20 is in receipt of File# PUDSP227 for approval of the FourSquare at Sterling Ranch East PUDSP.

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, 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.

Entech Engineering’s revised September 15, 2022 soil and geology report makes appropriate preliminary recommendations for mitigating the site’s hazards. The Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Classic Consulting, 3/8/2022) shows that the area of potentially unstable slopes will be regraded, and most of the site will be filled. Provided Entech’s recommendations are strictly adhered to, CGS has no objection to approval. We offer the following comments and recommendations.

1. Entech states (page 4), “The proposed housing will be constructed with crawlspaces; no basements are proposed.” CGS agrees with Entech (page 11), “A minimum separation of 3 feet between foundation components and groundwater levels are recommended.” CGS recommends adding a note to the plans stating that no basements are permitted in the Foursquare at Sterling Ranch East development, similar to other Sterling Ranch developments.

Please review the Section 4.2.6 and add a discussion to the LOI on how the projects meets the purpose of the PUD district; the PC has asked for explanation of how PUDs are meeting the purposes state in the Code. 4.2.6. PUD, Planned Unit Development District

(A)Purpose. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is a versatile zoning mechanism to encourage innovative and creative design and to facilitate a mix of uses including residential, business, commercial, and industrial, recreation, open space, and other selected secondary uses. This zoning district is established in accordance with C.R.S. §§ 24-67-101, et seq., to accomplish the following objectives:
• To further the public health, safety and general welfare within El Paso County;

• To permit adjustment to changing public and private needs and to foster the ability to provide development patterns which are more compatible with and effective in meeting such needs;

• To improve the design, character and quality of new development with flexibility by varying lot size, building heights, setback controls and other site development requirements;

• To encourage innovations in residential, commercial, and industrial development and renewal so that the growing demands of the population may be met by greater variety in type, design, and layout of buildings including mixed use and traditional neighborhood design and by the conservation and more efficient use of open space ancillary to said buildings;

• To encourage more efficient use of land services reflecting changes in the technologies and economies of land development;

• To provide housing of all types and designs to be located in proximity to employment and activity centers such as shopping, recreational, and community centers, healthcare facilities, and public transit;

• To achieve development economies to minimize impacts on existing infrastructure and to encourage the most efficient use of public infrastructure while limiting the costs of providing services and to reduce the burden on existing streets and utilities by more efficient development;

• To promote layout, design and construction of development that is sensitive to the natural land form and environmental conditions of the immediate and surrounding area, including scenic vistas, natural features and environmental resources;

• To ensure that provision is made for beneficial open space, to provide for active, usable open spaces, and to preserve open areas;

• To encourage integrated planning systems to achieve the objectives of and to otherwise implement the stated purpose and intent of this Code and the Master Plan;

• To create an integrated and fixed set of land use controls which allow multiple and mixed uses in 1 coordinated development; and

• To establish a basis for vested property rights for multi-year projects.

The available referral documents include a Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Study, Foursquare at Sterling Ranch East (Entech Engineering, Job No. 220572, April 14, 2022), Preliminary Plan (Classic Consulting, March 8, 2022), Letter of Intent (N.E.S., Inc., June 2022), Grading and Erosion Control Plans (Classic Consulting, March 8, 2022), and other documents.

As noted on page 12 of Entech’s Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Study (Entech Engineering, Inc., April 14, 2022), the hazards identified on this site include expansive soils, erosion, hydrocompaction, potentially unstable slopes, and potential shallow groundwater areas. Additionally, Entech’s Engineering Geology/Geology Map (figure 7) separates the site into the following: potentially unstable slope (pu) and hydrocompaction (h). Entech makes appropriate preliminary recommendations for mitigating the site’s hazards. We offer the following comments and recommendations.

1. General Note 10 of the preliminary plan references a Soil, Geology, and Geologic Hazard Study by Entech dated April 20, 2020. This statement should be updated to reference Entech’s current study.

2. In the test borings drilled for Entech’s April 14, 2022 study, groundwater was encountered at 7 and 13 feet below grade during drilling, and Entech observed standing water to the south of the site at the northwest corner of future Briargate Parkway and Sterling Ranch Road. Entech states (page 4), “The proposed housing will be constructed with crawlspaces; no basements are proposed.” Entech makes appropriate preliminary recommendations for mitigating the site’s hazards. Due to the very shallow groundwater conditions at the Sterling Ranch development, basement levels should not be allowed. CGS recommends adding a note to the plans stating that no basements are permitted in the Foursquare at Sterling Ranch East development.

3. Page 11 of Entech’s revised report states, “In areas where high subsurface moisture conditions are anticipated periodically, subsurface perimeter drains are recommended to help prevent the intrusion of water into areas below grade.” 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. Entech identified areas containing potentially unstable slopes but states on page 11, “These areas will likely be regraded during the site development.” Once final grading is complete, Entech should review the grades to verify these areas will be mitigated, otherwise, appropriate setbacks from unstable slopes should be designated and included in the project plans.

Academy District 20 is in receipt of File# PUDSP227.

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.
