Development Services Engineering has the following comments:

Drainage:
1.Address the need for drainage easements on the Glen at Widefield property to the south of pond DF-8. Please provide correspondence from the downstream owner (Glen at Widefield Metro District) that an easement will be granted as Pond DF-8’s emergency overflow is directed to the districts Tract.
2. Provide emergency overflow spillway design/analysis for Ponds DF-5 and DF-8. Provide analysis of the swale that will convey the emergency overflow to the east toward Marksheffel. Provide analysis (City DCM Ch6 section 12) of the emergency overflow path of Pond DF-5. Identify whether Spring Glen Drive is intended to convey this flow downstream and whether it has capacity to do so. Concern is the existing homes/lots along this overflow path.

Traffic/Transportation
1. Identify the developers fair share contribution for future signal at Mesa Ridge and Spring Glen Drive intersection. County requests that the City include a condition of approval for the developer to escrow for the benefit of El Paso County.
2. TIS identifies exclusive southbound turn lanes at Spring Glen Drive and Mesa Ridge Parkway. Provide recommendations for the length of the exclusive turn lane per ECM criteria.

Construction Documents
1. Work in the ROW permit will be required for work at Spring Glen Drive.
2. Identify the taper at the tie-in to the existing Spring Glen Drive. Per ECM table 2-29 a redirect taper of 20:1 is required.
3. Label the sidewalk width on Spring Glen Drive within the County ROW (5 ft. per County standard detail for residential collector roadways).
4. Coordinate with Lorson Ranch developer for intersection improvements to Marksheffel and Lorson Blvd as well as City of Colorado Springs as they have obtained ownership and maintenance responsibilities of Marksheffel Road.

Stormwater engineer comments are pending. ESQCP permit may be required as developments flow is entering the County’s storm system.
