This was presented to the AAC on 4/24/2024 with no objections to the below.


This item will be presented to the Airport Advisory Commission on 4/27/2024 with the following comments:

Airport staff recommends no objection with the following conditions:

• Avigation Easement: An avigation easement is requested or provide proof of previous recording (book/page or reception number). Add avigation easement note to plat.

• Accident Potential Zone 2: The proposed residential development is outside the Accident Potential Zone 2 (APZ-2) subzone of the Commercial Airport Overlay District. Commercial and office use are permitted within APZ-2. Residential is prohibited in APZ-2.

• FAA Form 7460-1: Based on elevation data and distance to runway, the applicant will need to file Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration” for any new vertical development at this site, including temporary construction equipment, and provide FAA documentation to the Airport before the commencement of construction activities; FAA’s website.
(https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp).

• FAA Form 7460-1 Frequency Review: The applicant is to file an airspace evaluation case with the FAA for the purposes of a frequency review/analysis and provide confirmation of approval from FAA to Airport prior to the commencement of construction activities; FAA’s website (https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp).

The following are the instructions on obtaining an Avigation Easement:

1. Refer to your title work and/or the existing plat(s) to see if there is an existing avigation easement.

2. If nothing is existing, the City would prefer that you dedicate the avigation easement via your re/plat. Please ask your Planner or refer to Planning’s checklist for that dedication language.

3. If you are not re/platting, and to grant the City a new required avigation easement by separate instrument, please refer to Real Estate Services’ website at coloradosprings.gov/Departments/Real Estate Services, Required Easements, for a current Public Application Form and Instructions regarding the process. For questions, contact Barbara Reinardy, 719-385-5601, or Barbara.Reinardy@coloradosprings.gov.
To submit your paperwork (hand delivery or US Mail): 30 S. Nevada Ave., Ste. 502, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. Please allow 3-4 weeks for processing.

El Paso County Parks and Community Services: The 2022 El Paso County Parks Master Plan shows no impacts to existing or proposed parks, trails, or open space. The proposed Crews Gulch Primary Regional Trail will be located south of the temporary tower site with its alignment located on the north side and in relatively close proximation to Fontaine Boulevard. Should the parent parcel be developed in the future, EPC Parks will request a 25' wide trail easement on the north side of Fontaine Boulevard. 3/27/2024 11:46:50 AM

1. Because Applicant is not the owner of the property, Applicant must provide evidence that it has a) the legal right to enter the property to install and remove a CMRS facility and b) the legal authority to assign such rights of entry and removal to El Paso County. See 2nd Whereas clause of Removal Agreement. Please provide such evidence, such as in the form of a lease.
2. El Paso County only accepts performance bonds from bond or insurance companies authorized to do business in Colorado, not from the owner of the CMRS facility.
