FMIC has provided comments previously for the Creekside development project(s) within the Lorson Ranch development and identified the relocation of the FMIC canal on the west side of the main stem of Jimmy Camp Creek and siphon pipe crossing this channel. Due to this relocation of the canal system back in the mid 2005/2006 time frame, the proposed Creekside at Lorson Ranch Filing No.2 located east of the East Fork of Jimmy Camp Creek will have no impact on the existing FMIC canal system. FMIC takes no exception to this proposed development project for Creekside at Lorson Ranch Filling No. 2. 9/6/2022 10:20:43 AM

Regarding a request for approval of a PUD development plan for Creekside at Lorson Ranch Filing No. 2, Enumerations has the following comments:

1. Per Regional Building Code, section RBC312.8 addresses must appear on plats. Submit a 100 scale copy of the plat to our office for addressing. Place an (xxxx) on all lots and tracts which will require an address, in the location the address will be needed. Once addressing is completed, the addresses will be returned so that they may be placed on the mylar prior to recording.
2. Prior to recording, Enumerations will review the mylar for addressing, title block, street names and floodplain statement. A fee of $10 per lot/tract addressed, payable to Pikes Peak Regional Building Department will be due at the time of mylar review.
3. Provide a copy of the final recorded plat to Enumerations. Approval of any plans submitted for this development will be pending receipt in our office of a copy of the final recorded plat.

We understand this planned unit development and preliminary plan referral consists of 38 single-family units on approximately 6.01 acres at Lorson Boulevard and Trappe Drive.

The site is outside the mapped floodplain of the Jimmy Camp Creek East Tributary. CGS agrees with RMG’s assessment that the site is not exposed to any geologic hazards that preclude the proposed development. On page 16 of RMG’s Soils and Geology Study (Rocky Mountain Group, February 21, 2022), geologic constraints include expansive soils, drainageways/floodplains, faults, and radon. RMG’s preliminary recommendations should be adhered to during initial project planning. We offer the following comments and recommendations.

1. RMG states (page 13), “The BFE’s (Base Flood Elevation) along the creek, west of the Creekside South, Filing No. 2 boundary, ranges between 5709.2 and 5704.7 feet.” RMG also states, “Provided that the final floodplain extents do not encroach within the boundaries of the proposed buildable lots and the bottom of foundations remain one foot above the BFE, it is our opinion that additional mitigation is not required at this time.” The proposed lots are outside the 100-year floodplain based on the PUD plan. However, CGS cannot determine if the basement foundations will be 1 foot above the BFE. Therefore, CGS recommends the project civil and geotechnical engineer verify this condition is met.

2. According to the construction drawings (CORE Engineering Group, March 2022), the site will include a groundwater underdrain that will be installed below the sanitary sewer drain that will outfall to the existing detention pond/water quality basin system. A statement indicating that an underdrain system will be installed for the site should also be included in the PUD development plan.

3. RMG states (page 11) that “It is anticipated basement foundations will have more than 4 to 6 feet of separation from the bottom of foundation floor slabs to groundwater.” RMG did not encounter groundwater in their borings during drilling; groundwater measurements following drilling operations were not provided in RMG’s report. Groundwater levels as shallow as 12 feet were measured in CGS’s previous reviews in the project vicinity (such as Creekside South at Lorson Ranch). Groundwater levels typically rise after development, and measurements of groundwater variations provide a basis for anticipating future groundwater levels.

Since below-grade levels are planned and the proximity to the Jimmy Camp Creek East Tributary floodplain, CGS recommends the groundwater levels are monitored/observed throughout the spring, summer, and fall to verify that proposed floor levels are at least 3 feet (preferably 5 feet) above the maximum anticipated groundwater levels and maintained year-round. We recommend this occurs during the planning stages of the development (PUD/preliminary plan) and not solely during site-specific investigations.

4. CGS agrees with RMG (page 18), “A subsurface perimeter drain is recommended around portions of the structures which will have habitable or storage space located below the finished ground surface.” RMG notes (page 17) that “depending on the conditions encountered during site-specific subsurface soil investigations and the conditions observed at the time of construction, additional subsurface drainage systems may be recommended.” We recommend that subsurface drainage systems (underslab drain) be determined during the preliminary plan stage and not during site-specific investigations.

5. RMG states on page 16, “it is our opinion that the existing geologic and engineering conditions can be satisfactorily mitigated through proper engineering, design and contraction practices.” This should be “...proper engineering, design, and construction practices...”.
