Please use this Preliminary Plan criteria in LOI:
(e)Criteria for Approval. In approving a preliminary plan, the BoCC shall find that:
• The proposed subdivision is in general conformance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Master Plan;

• The subdivision is consistent with the purposes of this Code;

• The subdivision is in conformance with the subdivision design standards and any approved sketch plan;

• A sufficient water supply has been acquired in terms of quantity, quality, and dependability for the type of subdivision proposed, as determined in accordance with the standards set forth in the water supply standards [C.R.S. § 30-28-133(6)(a)] and the requirements of Chapter 8 of this Code (this finding may not be deferred to final plat if the applicant intends to seek administrative final plat approval);

• A public sewage disposal system has been established and, if other methods of sewage disposal are proposed, the system complies with state and local laws and regulations, [C.R.S. § 30-28-133(6) (b)] and the requirements of Chapter 8 of this Code;

• All areas of the proposed subdivision, which may involve soil or topographical conditions presenting hazards or requiring special precautions, have been identified and the proposed subdivision is compatible with such conditions. [C.R.S. § 30-28-133(6)(c)];

• Adequate drainage improvements complying with State law [C.R.S. § 30-28-133(3)(c)(VIII)] and the requirements of this Code and the ECM are provided by the design;

• The location and design of the public improvements proposed in connection with the subdivision are adequate to serve the needs and mitigate the effects of the development;

• Legal and physical access is or will be provided to all parcels by public rights-of-way or recorded easement, acceptable to the County in compliance with this Code and the ECM;

• The proposed subdivision has established an adequate level of compatibility by (1) incorporating natural physical features into the design and providing sufficient open spaces considering the type and intensity of the subdivision; (2) incorporating site planning techniques to foster the implementation of the County's plans, and encourage a land use pattern to support a balanced transportation system, including auto, bike and pedestrian traffic, public or mass transit if appropriate, and the cost effective delivery of other services consistent with adopted plans, policies and regulations of the County; (3) incorporating physical design features in the subdivision to provide a transition between the subdivision and adjacent land uses; (4) incorporating identified environmentally sensitive areas, including but not limited to, wetlands and wildlife corridors, into the design; and (5) incorporating public facilities or infrastructure, or provisions therefore, reasonably related to the proposed subdivision so the proposed subdivision will not negatively impact the levels of service of County services and facilities;

• Necessary services, including police and fire protection, recreation, utilities, open space and transportation system, are or will be available to serve the proposed subdivision;

• The subdivision provides evidence to show that the proposed methods for fire protection comply with Chapter 6 of this Code; and

Please use this PUD criteria in LOI:
(D)Approval Criteria For PUD Zoning. The Planning Commission and BoCC shall determine that the following criteria have been met to approve a PUD zoning district:
• The proposed PUD District zoning advances the stated purposes set forth in this Section;

• The application is in general conformity with the Master Plan;

• The proposed development is in compliance with the requirements of this Code and all applicable statutory provisions and will not otherwise be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the present or future inhabitants of El Paso County;

• The subject property is suitable for the intended uses and the use is compatible with both the existing and allowed land uses on the neighboring properties, will be in harmony and responsive with the character of the surrounding area and natural environment; and will not have a negative impact upon the existing and future development of the surrounding area;

• The proposed development provides adequate consideration for any potentially detrimental use to use relationships (e.g. commercial use adjacent to single family use) and provides an appropriate transition or buffering between uses of differing intensities both on-site and off-site which may include innovative treatments of use to use relationships;

• The allowed uses, bulk requirements and required landscaping and buffering are appropriate to and compatible with the type of development, the surrounding neighborhood or area and the community;

• Areas with unique or significant historical, cultural, recreational, aesthetic or natural features are preserved and incorporated into the design of the project;

• Open spaces and trails are integrated into the development plan to serve as amenities to residents and provide a reasonable walking and biking opportunities;

• The proposed development will not overburden the capacities of existing or planned roads, utilities and other public facilities (e.g., fire protection, police protection, emergency services, and water and sanitation), and the required public services and facilities will be provided to support the development when needed;

• The proposed development would be a benefit through the provision of interconnected open space, conservation of environmental features, aesthetic features and harmonious design, and energy efficient site design;

• The proposed land use does not permit the use of any area containing a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would unreasonably interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit unless acknowledged by the mineral rights owner;

• Any proposed exception or deviation from the requirements of the zoning resolution or the subdivision regulations is warranted by virtue of the design and amenities incorporated in the development plan and development guide; and

• The owner has authorized the application.

With this referral, we reviewed the Geologic Hazard Evaluation and Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation (CTL Thompson, Inc., March 12, 2024), Letter of Intent (HR Green Development, LLC, March 19, 2024), PUD Development Plan and Preliminary Plan (HR Green, March 21, 2024), Early Grading and Erosion Control Plan (HR Green, March 8, 2024), and other documents. CTL’s report provides a valid description of surface and subsurface conditions and soil and bedrock engineering properties. CTL states on page 8, “The most significant hazard identified at this site is shallow groundwater.” We offer the following comments and recommendations.

1. Based on the referral documents, the site is located within a designated FEMA floodplain (Map Numbers 08041C0556G and 08041C0552G, December 7, 2018) and plans are in process to establish new floodplain limits. The PUD Development Plan (Floodplain Notes, note 3) states, “Those lots either partially or entirely located within the current floodplain shall not be platted until the floodplain boundary revision process is completed effectively removing the floodplain limits from these lots,” and note 5, “No structures or solid fences are permitted within the designated floodplain area.” CGS concurs with the PUD Development Plan that no lots should be associated with the current floodplain. CGS recommends establishing a setback from the flood hazard boundary to reduce hazards associated with not just floodwater inundation but also erosion and scour. CGS looks forward to reviewing the preliminary plat application once the flood limits are approved/revised.

2. The letter of Intent states (p. 7), “Due to the known high groundwater conditions there will be no basement foundations proposed within the Phase 2 project limits.” Additionally, the PUD states, “No basements are proposed within the limits of this development plan.” CGS agrees that no below grade levels should be allowed within the Grandview Reserve Phase 3 Development.

3. The Letter of Intent (page 13) references a report prepared by Entech; this should be CTL Thompson, Inc.

4. CGS commends CTL for installing monitoring wells within the site. Measurements from October 2023 through January 2024 indicated groundwater depths between 0.4 and 14.1 feet. CGS recommends that groundwater elevations within these wells continue to be measured during Spring/Summer/Fall 2024 and following early grading operations.

5. CGS has concerns with the proximity of groundwater to crawlspace level foundation systems, which was a previous concern of CTL (Phase 2, CTL Thompson, Inc., Revised February 27, 2024). The separation distance between the lowest floor levels and maximum anticipated groundwater levels (determined by the monitoring program) should be at least three feet (preferably five feet) and maintained year-round. CGS recommends that CTL review monitoring holes vs. proposed grades of the lots when available to determine if crawlspace levels are feasible. CGS agrees with CTL, “Typical foundation drains are capable of dealing with minor surface water infiltration but are not designed as a dewatering system for groundwater.”

6. Three detention ponds are planned within Phase 3 that will be near the groundwater elevation based on Fig. 3 of CTL’s report. During the Phase 2 PUD development plan review (CGS comments 3/26/2024), CTL recommended a pond liner to maintain separation from groundwater, where the design bottom elevation of a detention pond is above the depth of peak groundwater measured in monitoring wells. CGS recommends that CTL review monitoring holes vs. proposed grades of the detention ponds when available and provide recommendations for a pond liner as applicable.

7. The geologic hazard note on the preliminary development plan should be incorporated into the preliminary and final plats going forward.
