Previous EPC Engineering Review comments do not appear to have been addressed. Development of the proposed annexation areas will result in impacts to County roads and drainage infrastructure. Drainage: 1. As previously indicated in the Amara annexation (PCD File ANX2126), please include requirements for a Drainage Basin Planning Study (DBPS) for Upper Williams Creek. The DBPS will involve multiple proposed developments, jurisdictions, and agencies as owners and stakeholders. A cross-jurisdictional drainage fee structure may be preferable if development within the drainage basin will be occurring in the City of Colorado Springs, El Paso County, and Fountain. County Staff wishes to discuss an IGA or other agreement that addresses cross-jurisdictional drainage improvements and fees. 2. Development of the annexation areas will need to address any offsite drainage impacts in unincorporated areas and necessary improvements and/or fair share contributions towards necessary improvements. 3. The Hydrologic Assessment mentions green infrastructure/low impact development. This type of design should be utilized in the project design to manage stormwater volumes in addition to peak flows. If peak volumes are not controlled to historic rates and there is no DBPS for the affected basin(s), the development may be required to mitigate impacts to downstream channels. Traffic/Transportation 1. The County-maintained roads that will be impacted by development of the subject property annexation will need to be addressed in traffic impact studies with each respective development area. 2. The condition and adequacy of County roads serving the annexation areas will need to be addressed and improvements and/or fair share contributions may be required as part of the County access permitting process. 3. As future annexations/development occur north of this development, the City of Colorado Springs should annex Curtis Road from this development's boundary to State Highway 94. 4. See previous Transportation Memorandum comments on pages 2, 5, Figure 4 and Figure 5. Review by: Bret Dilts, PE bretdilts@elpasoco.com 719-520-6864 |
