With this referral, CGS reviewed the revised Soil and Geology Study (RMG, December 15, 2023), Final Drainage Report (SMH Consultants, January 2024), Technical Memorandum (SMH Consultants, December 11, 2023), and other documents. RMG has designated drainage flow paths as No Build Zones (p. 10, FIG-3, and FIG-4). Based on SMH’s memo, we now understand that this project has been reduced from 6 lots to 3 lots. Additionally, drainage basins OS-2 and OS-3 (as referenced from our previous comments) are now identified as OS-6 and OS-7, respectively, and with the reduction in lots, only the offsite drainage basin OS-6 includes potential hyperconcentrated flood and debris flow hazards. CGS previously recommended, “These flows should be bulked with sediment, and the resultant onsite flow should have mitigation designed for it.” According to SMH’s memo, a bulking factor of 1.67 was used for OS-6, resulting in a bulked flow of 82.97 cfs. SMH states, “The existing drainage channel has the available capacity to handle the bulked flows from basin OS-6” and “There are no anticipated detrimental impacts to the proposed development from the higher bulked flows.” Therefore, CGS has no further concerns regarding the proposed subdivision.

It should be pointed out that wildfire will increase the likelihood of debris flows at this location and these calculations will require further analysis following a wildfire.

Please refer to this office’s comments dated 5/15/23. The recently uploaded correspondence from CSU does not meet the requirements of the Land Development Code. In addition, a favorable recommendation regarding water supply from the State Engineer’s Office has not been received. Please work with CSU to obtain a letter on letterhead that meets the requirements of the LDC, and then submit to SEO with a request to update their letter.

1. Enumeration agrees that the private drive should be a continuation of Kulsa Road, addressing will be assigned off of Kulsa Road.
2. Lot 1 will be 5295 Kulsa Rd, Lot 2 will be 5265 Kulsa Rd, Lot 3 will be 5260 Kulsa rd and Lot 4 will be 5290 Kulsa Rd. Please place these addresses on the final plat.

Final Plat comments apply:

1. Enumerations will review the mylar prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block.
2. A $10.00 per lot and tract platting fee will be due at the time of the review of the mylar, (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 September 28th, 2022, an additional over the phone transaction fee of 2.95% of the total transaction will apply for any credit card payment.
3. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL. BeckyA@pprbd.org (Please email the Enumerations staff that reviewed your project).
4. The mylar will be stamped by Enumerations for accuracy and returned to the applicant and the planner. Please make an appointment on our website, https://www.pprbd.org/Home/BookAppt for the mylar review.

The Colorado State Forest Service recommends that all forested acres be mitigated to reduce the risk of wildfire and that defensible space be created for each dwelling using the standards in the CSFS "Home Ignition Zone Guide" (formerly known as "Quick Guide FIRE 2012-1: Protecting Your Home From Wildfire") located on the Colorado State Forest Service website.

https://csfs.colostate.edu/media/sites/22/2021/04/2021_CSFS_HIZGuide_Web.pdf

In addition, we recommend that all wildfire mitigation be completed before or during dwelling construction.
