The updated referral documents include the following: Soil and Geology Study (Entech Engineering, Inc., October 8, 2024). Entech identified areas where geologic conditions would impose some minor constraints, including “areas of artificial fill, hydrocompaction, potentially expansive soils, potential seasonally shallow groundwater areas, and potential for elevated radon levels” (page 1). Entech’s interpretation of the geologic conditions and mitigation measures is valid.

The final plat (LWA Land Surveying, Inc., October 15, 2024) references a geology report by Front Range Geotechnical dated October 5, 2006. CGS recommends that the plat be updated to include Entech’s October 8, 2024 report and the geologic conditions and mitigation measures identified in the report. No-build areas are present within Lots 10 and 11; no improvements should be planned within these areas.

Please provide Enumerations with the new overall projected layout for the entire area, for addressing purposes. Email me directly.
Contact me when you are ready for addressing for the plat. Once addresses are received they will need to be placed on the plat.

1. There are two WSIS forms in the file. Each seems to address the per lot demand in Section 9. Please upload only one form that contains the total demand for the subdivision in Section 9.
2. The Water Resource Report refers to an email string to address water quantity. The email string states that this office will rely on the portions of the 2006 Water Resource Report that address water quantity. There is no 2006 Water Resource Report in this file. Please upload.
3. The water quality information in the Water Resource Report does not appear to meet the requirements of the Land Development Code. Please see section 8.4.7 (B)(10).

The updated referral documents include the following: Soils & Geology – Additional Information, dated 6/21/2024, prepared by Patten Associates, Inc. Patten provides two documents they indicate address our comment (CGS, 4/1/2024): “Although Front Range Geotechnical’s report is outdated, the conclusions and identification of geologic hazards and constraints are still valid. However, the test holes only extended to depths ranging from 10 to 12 feet. If basements or significant cuts are planned, these depths are not sufficient to properly characterize the subsurface materials.”

Patten states:

1. Entech, the firm that has done much of the drilling for the residential wells in Silverado Ranch, states they typically drill test borings to 20-30 feet and sample at 5 foot intervals.
2. A letter from Kunau Drilling states that the Silverado wells “have shown not to encounter groundwater above 50’.”

CGS agrees that test borings should be drilled to depths of 20-30 feet. Although wells constructed within Silverado Ranch were not shown to include groundwater (per Kunau Drilling), variations and fluctuations in groundwater levels occur depending on the season and location within the site. As stated in our previous comments (4/1/2024), CGS continues to recommend that the county require an updated geology and soil report to evaluate the geologic constraints including test borings drilled to determine groundwater and bedrock depths where both are likely to be shallow.

2. Standard Final Plat comments:
a. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (mylar) prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block.
b. A $10.00 per lot and tract platting fee will be due at the time of the review of the pre-plat, (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. As of December 5th 2023, the fee for all credit/debit cards has changed from the flat 2.95% fee to the following: Over the phone Credit/Debit Card payments will be 2.3% and In-Person Debit Card payments will be 1.5% (in-person only).
c. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to approval in the Enumerations department on any COMMERCIAL plan submittal. Please email the Enumerations staff member that reviewed your project.

d. Pre-plat reviews can be reviewed via “pdf” or in-person. The pre-plat will be stamped by Enumerations for accuracy and returned to the applicant and the planner. All payments to be mailed to RBD via a check or credit card payment over the phone. Plats should not be recorded prior to Enumerations stamping the pre-plat and receiving payment of plat fees. If any pre-plat changes occur, even if changes do not apply to Enumerations, we still need to re-stamp the pre-plat. The Enumerations stamped pre-plat copy should match the recorded document minus a few signatures.

As page 3 of the Preliminary Geology report (Front Range Geotechnical, Inc., October 5, 2006) states, “The subject site is relatively free from serious geologic hazards except as noted. The most significant hazard to the proposed subdivision is the potential for erosion.” Additionally, on page 5, “It is likely that considerable settlement or hydrocompaction may take place in these soils if very heavily loaded structures are placed upon them.” Although Front Range Geotechnical’s report is outdated, the conclusions and identification of geologic hazards and constraints are still valid. However, the test holes only extended to depths ranging from 10 to 12 feet. If basements or significant cuts are planned, these depths are not sufficient to properly characterize the subsurface materials. CGS recommends that the county require an updated geology and soil evaluation to evaluate the geologic constraints including test borings drilled to a sufficient depth (generally at least 20 feet) to determine groundwater and bedrock depths where both are likely to be shallow. If shallow groundwater is encountered or expected based on the subsurface conditions, the report should discuss the expected seasonal groundwater fluctuation expected at the site based on site-specific data and the feasibility of basements or other anticipated habitable below-grade space.

CGS agrees with Front Range Geotechnical (p. 5) that “a site investigation by a qualified soils engineer prior to the construction of foundations” be performed. This recommendation should be noted in the plat.

We belive the use of this commitment letter was diseptive since the current commitment letter has stipulations on Fire Protection water Supply and Access. The Fire Protection Report is also diseptive and incorect. Per my pervious discussions with the planning department the only approved for protection report fo the Ellicott Fire Department is contained in the body of the commitment letter.
