All comments have been addressed. The only correction for the TIS that is needed is that CDOT would not be taking an escrow for NBR at the NB off-ramp. Rather, we will require the construction of the NBR lane at buildout by the Monument Ridge East developer. The reimbursement would probably be an option from the future developments, such as the Travel Center in the SW corner of the interchange. You will need to coordinate with the County on this topic. 11/7/2024 12:44:06 PM

1. Enumerations is concerned with there being 2 extensions of Monument Hill Road. Please clarify when the exiting extension running north will be removed, blocked, etc..
2. The street name that is shown as E Palmer Divide Road, should be shown as County Line Road. Once the public/private streets are determined, Enumerations will need a new list of street name approvals from E-9-1-1.
3. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door, and should be placed as close to the edge of the lot as possible, running parallel to the street it is being addressed from.
4. 20255 Monument Hill Road is an existing home on 71022-01-001. A wrecking permit will be required to remove this home with RBD, prior to any plan being approved in the Enumerations department.

Comments for E911 as follows:

It appears that there are private and public roads intended throughout this development, please indicate on the plans which are public and which are private.

This plan intends to redirect Monument Hill Rd to intersect with Misty Acres Blvd then terminate within this development.
There should be clear documentation regarding the removal/discontinuation of the old extension of Monument Hill Rd leading to County Line Rd. Is this road intended to be left in place, barricaded, destroyed?
If left in place, more discussion may be necessary to determine impact on routing and emergency services.

Private Roads?
Lupine Field Grv – Available
Birds Nest Vw – Available
Snowy Ridge Pt – Available
White Snow Grv – Available

Stormy Hill – Available – Needs suffix, if private Grove, Heights, Point, or View.

Milky Way Vw – Not acceptable – Milky is an existing streetname, Way is a suffix and cannot be part of streetname.


Public Roads? If private please use (Grove, Heights, Point, or View).
Cannella Way – Available
Snowy Top Dr – Available
Rafter Pl - Available


Misty Acres Blvd – Logical extension of existing road
Old Antlers Way – Logical extension of existing road
Monument Hill Rd – Realignment and extension of existing road

1. Street names that need to be amended; White Snow, Snowy Ridge, Lupine Field, & Rafter need a suffixes. Maga Drive-not accepted. I do not believe that a new extension of Monument Hill Road should be a part of this development. This street currently running north and south and now this is piece is running east west. Monument Hill Road does not end in this development but continues north & south. Clarification should be verified with E-9-1-1 Authority.
2. 20255 Monument Hill Road is an existing home on 71022-01-001. A wrecking permit will be required to remove this home with Regional Building Department, prior to any plans being submitted in this area.
3. Standard development plan comments:
a. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door, and should be placed as close to the edge of the lot as possible, running parallel to the street it is being addressed from.
b. Rear Loaded homes will have unique address assignment and placement. A plat note will be required showing address placement.
c. Provide a 100 scale copy or larger of the entire APPROVED development plan (d.p.) to this department so that addressing can be assigned. Once received, the development plan will be placed on a list to be addressed. Development plans that are not yet approved may be addressed, however additional plan review fees will accrue if changes are made to the D.P. after initial addressing.

In the June 5, 2024, letter from the Colorado Division of Water Resources, they request clarification and do not provide a finding. The County Attorney’s Office will review for sufficiency after a finding of water sufficiency has been made by the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

Please note, the newly uploaded Water Resources Report still lists a demand of 105.23 on page 4 which is inconsistent with the Commitment Letter and Water Supply Information Summary. Additionally, please make sure the amount of lots/units is consistent between the Water Supply Information Summary, Commitment Letter and Water Resources Report. Thank you.

I am writing to you on behalf of the Misty Acres Metropolitan District.

Misty Acres Metropolitan District’s Board of Directors has reviewed the proposed service plan and scope of projected development of 342 residential units, including duplexes, tri-plexes, and four-plexes. In the Board’s opinion, the proposed development does not fit within the scope of Misty Acre’s Metropolitan District’s service plan or original development plan of significantly fewer single-family style dwellings.

Therefore, the Misty Acres Metropolitan District is unwilling and unable to undertake the financing or to provide the required services and facilities that the Developer requires for its proposed project.

Please contact District Board President Andrew Bussa at Andrew.Bussa@gmail.com should you require any additional information.

Happy Friday,
Andrew

Comments for E911 as follows:

Several of the roads depicted in these plans have multiple distinct segments that do not have logical continuation. As one example, Larsen Rd has three segments that do not connect, two of which have another road running between them. Each distinct road segment will need to have a unique name associated with it.

Cannella - Available

Larsen Rd – Not available, existing road
Painter Dr – Not available, existing road
Alexanderia Dr – Not available, existing road
Plowman Dr – Not available, existing road

Misty Acres Blvd – Logical continuation of existing road.
Old Antlers Way – Logical continuation of existing road.

Monument Hill Rd – This road currently takes another route to meet with County Line Rd to the North. Is the intent to redirect the existing road? The road cannot just split into two directions and retain the name both ways.

Streetnaming information (criteria and existing/reserved names) can be found at http://elpasoteller911.org/191/Street-Name-Database
