The County Attorney’s Office will begin review when an approved determination/replacement plan has been uploaded as well as a letter from the Colorado Division of Water Resources with a water sufficiency finding. Please make sure the WSIS lists the correct subdivision name. Please also double-check your estimated demand for irrigation. 3 acres is 130,680 square feet. At 0.0566 acre-foot/1,000 square feet, which is the presumptive use value in the LDC, 7.4 annual acre-feet would be required to meet this demand. 12/17/2024 11:47:51 AM

Colorado Geological Survey
11/4/2024 5:09:17 PM
As requested by the county (email, October 4, 2024), the Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) has reviewed the submittal (County File # VR2426, located at 39.0994°, -104.6324°). We received various documents for resubmittal, including Draft Plat Drawings (Apex Land Surveying and Mapping LLC, August 23, 2024) and a Soil and Geology Study (RMG, Job No. 196369, September 13, 2024). We offer the following comments and recommendations.

CGS generally agrees with RMG’s interpretation of geology, identification of hazards and constraints related to the geology, and their recommendations for mitigation. Groundwater was encountered at depths that may impact basement construction if planned. RMG has estimated that groundwater may fluctuate 4 to 6 feet (without any irrigation influence), but baseline levels for groundwater have not yet been determined. They state on p.16, “If basements are proposed on the lots, it would be advisable to initiate groundwater monitoring sufficiently in advance of construction to allow for completion of a monitoring program and resubmittal to the county.” CGS agrees and recommends that the county either require a note on the plans that basements are not allowed at this location or that a 12-month groundwater monitoring program is performed.

Review 1: EPC DPW Stormwater has no comments.

Note: There is currently no disturbance proposed, therefore an ESQCP is not required. If the area of disturbance exceeds 1 acre at any time, all work must be stopped and an ESQCP must be obtained in order to resume construction.

Comments for E911 as follows:

For the purposes of efficient emergency response, routing, and enumeration the private access for this development will require a proper name.

In addition to the three lots requested in this submittal, there are several other existing lots that use this road for access. These existing lots will need to be readdressed to the newly named access road, please reach out to these owners to discuss these changes.

Streetnaming information (criteria, existing/reserved roads) can be found at https://elpasoteller911.org/191/Street-Name-Database.

Please submit desired names to jannan@eptc911.org for approval.
As a private road, please use one of the following suffixes – Grove, Heights, Point, or View.

Thank you.

1. The vicinity map shown on page one shows this plat as bordering Hodgen Rd. on the north and plat note 7 on page 1 mentions access to Hodgen Rd. Hodgen Rd. is almost 2 miles away to the south of this proposed plat. The map and the plat note need to be updated to show the correct location and access information.
2. Based on the number of proposed lots being created by this plat, as well as the distance from Black Squirrel Rd. to some of the newly created lots as well as existing lots currently addressed from Black Squirrel Rd., and the possibility of existing large lots being platted as multiple smaller lots in the future, it is the opinion of Enumerations that the access driveway should be a named private road. This will assist in eliminating confusion for emergency response as well as the general public when trying to navigate to these parcels. Submit a list of proposed street names to Justin Annan (jannan@eptc911.org) and Glenn West (gwest@eptc911.org) for approval. The eptc911.org website has a list of current and reserved street names to assist in deciding on a unique street name. Acceptable private street suffixes are Point, Grove, View, or Heights.
3. The naming of this access drive as a private street will necessitate address changes to parcels currently addressed as 18250, 18330, 18410, 18430, and 18440 Black Squirrel Rd. The developer should work with the existing property owners to explain the benefits of and the process of the address change in order to gain the support of the property owners. There is a $50 fee for each address change performed by Enumerations, and instructions for requesting an address change can be found on the PPRBD website. The existing property owners should not be responsible for the address change fees.
4. Once a private street name is approved, it needs to be shown on the plat, and a copy needs to be submitted to Enumerations for address assignment.
5. Enumerations will review the mylar prior to recording for addressing, title block, and street names. An Enumerations fee of $30 will be due at the time of mylar review. Copies of the address change requests should accompany the mylar when submitted for review/approval by Enumerations.

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.

This proposal is outside the Black Forest Land Use Committee area of interest and is in the Tri-Lakes area.

The proposal is in conformance with the RR-5 density that is desirable in the Black Forest and will help conserve natural trees and wildlife so we are totally in favor of it.

The final Major Transportation Corridors Plan was adopted on July 18, 2024. The letter of intent was submitted on Aug 1. The applicant should verify statements and update any references to the MTCP. https://www.2045mtcp.com/

I see no documents to review for the Road Impact Fee. This development is subject to the RIF. If eligible improvements are proposed, then the applicant should submit a credit agreement prior to construction.
