The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) understands that the applicant seeks to amend a portion of the Sterling Ranch Sketch Plan SKP183/SKP07-001 located (38.9621°, -104.6683°) east of Sand Creek Channel. CGS has no objection to the planned amendment. We reviewed this project on December 19, 2007, and September 5, 2018. Referral documents include a Geologic Hazard/Land Use Study, and PSSI – Addendum by Entech Engineering, Inc., April 5, 2022. Our previous comments remain relevant and are repeated here:

“The identified geologic hazards within the site include at least: expansive soils, potentially unstable and unstable slopes, seasonal shallow groundwater, artificial fill, hydrocompaction, and loose soils. Prior to approval of a preliminary or final plat the geotechnical engineer should evaluate and comment on preliminary site grading and development plans. Entech indicates that site grading can mitigate some of the geologic hazards. Evaluation of the grading plan, after it is developed, should discuss if it mitigates unstable slopes, shallow groundwater or any other identified geologic hazard. The geotechnical engineer should also indicate where basement construction is not feasible due to shallow groundwater, where no-build lines will need to be drawn due to unstable slopes and discuss implementation of any other mitigation measures required for the geologic hazards and constraints identified at the site.”

Academy District 20 is in receipt of File# SKP224.

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.
