The address for lot 1 will remain 7030 Snow Mass Drive and the new address for lot 2 will be 7070 Snow Mass Drive. Please add the address numbers to the final plat as close to the named street as possible.

Standard Final Plat comments apply:

1. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (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 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). The fee will be $10.00 for the one new address.
3. 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. If you would like an in-person review, please make an appointment on our website, https://www.pprbd.org/Home/BookAppt
4. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL. Please email the Enumerations staff member that reviewed your project. Amy@pprbd.org; Brent@pprbd.org; or BeckyA@pprbd.org

With this referral, we received a request to provide Review Comments (Email dated 5/6/2024); Letter of Intent (M.V.E., Inc., 4/19/2024); Final Drainage Report (M.V.E, Inc., 12/28/2023); Final Plat (Polaris Surveying, Inc., 12/27/2023); and Soils and Geology Report (Rocky Mountain Group (RMG), 4/9/2024).

As noted on page 13 of the Soils and Geology Report (Rocky Mountain Group (RMG), 4/9/2024), “Geologic hazards found to be present at this site include faults and seismicity. Geologic conditions found to be present at this site include potentially compressible and expansive soils, artificial fill, seasonally fluctuating groundwater, and radon.” Plat note 11 (Final Plat (Polaris Surveying, Inc., 12/27/2023)) appropriately presents the geologic conditions depicted in RMG’s report.

The conclusions and identification of geologic hazards and constraints in RMG’s report are based on four test borings excavated 15 feet below the existing ground surface within the proposed lots (A Better Soil Solution, February 6, 2024). However, this report was not provided with the referral documents. According to RMG, groundwater was not encountered in the test borings during drilling and groundwater depths did not appear to have been checked following drilling. It’s important to note that this depth (15 feet) may not be sufficient to fully characterize the subsurface materials, especially if basements or significant cuts are planned. Generally, borings extend to at least 20 feet to determine groundwater and bedrock depths, where both are likely to be shallow. We concur with RMG (page 11), “If water (surface, perched groundwater, or true groundwater) is encountered at the time of the open excavation observation, by others, within 4 to 6 feet of proposed basement slab elevation, an underslab drain should be considered in conjunction with the perimeter drain.” An underdrain system should be allowed ONLY if it can gravity discharge to a daylight outfall. Individual foundation perimeter drains are intended to handle small amounts of intermittent, perched water and CANNOT be used to mitigate persistent shallow groundwater conditions.

The Final Plat states, “Individual soils investigations and foundation design for all new building sites and septic systems are required once building locations have been determined.” CGS recommends this investigation(s) be performed prior to building permit approval. If shallow groundwater is encountered or expected based on the subsurface conditions, the report should discuss the expected seasonal groundwater fluctuation at the site based on site-specific data and the feasibility of basements or other anticipated habitable below-grade space.

This application appears to be a duplication. BFFRPD has reviewed this application. The applicant appears to have done their due diligence to provide the county with requested information. There is an inaccurate statement that isn't likely to impact the applicant but of note the report states "The fire district regulates the requirement for water supplies for firefighting purposes. The district is current not requiring fire sprinkling or fire cisterns for subdivision of this size (less than five lots)." This is inaccurate as El Paso County is the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) that establishes regulations and requirements. El Paso County shall make the final determination regarding conformance and acceptance of the proposal. 5/9/2024 6:28:29 AM
