Cherokee Metropolitan District does have a Denver Basin Supply line running through the general area of development but this line's water capacity has already been reached and cannot supply the development. 11/25/2024 2:59:25 PM

The available referral documents include the PUD Development Plan (HR Green Development, LLC, October 11, 2024), Letter of Intent (HR Green Development, LLC, October 3, 2024), Wastewater Study (Entech Engineering, Inc., September 11, 2024), Soils and Geology Study (Entech Engineering, Inc., October 2, 2024), and other documents. Provided Entech’s recommendations are strictly adhered to, CGS has no concerns with Filing No. 5. We offer the following comments:

1. The PUD development plan should include all geologic hazards/constraints, including erosion and potential seasonally shallow groundwater areas.

2. Based on the wastewater study (Fig. 8), the OWTS and possible house locations are outside of the potentially seasonally shallow groundwater area (psw).

3. Groundwater was not encountered in Entech’s borings within Filing No. 5. CGS recommends that proposed floor levels are at least three feet (preferably 5 feet) above maximum anticipated groundwater levels and maintained year-round.

Black Forest Land Use Committee

The Black Forest Land Use Committee commends the applicant for this filing which is in compliance with the original preliminary plan in most areas. This filing is also in conformance with filings 1 and 2 and will provide a more consistent development overall. We believe that returning to the minimum 2.5-acre lots or larger will result in a much more desirable community and will conform with the rural, residential flavor of the Black Forest. Rather than a small town with street lights, curbs and gutters, sidewalks and many more lawns and landscaping, the 2.5-acre and larger lots will more likely retain the country feel with less landscaping and more water-absorbing surface to contain rain and snow. The more likely dark sky atmosphere will also conform more with surrounding properties. We believe the applicant is wise in proposing this filing. 11/4/2024 11:30:00 AM

1. Due to the reconfiguration, re-addressing fees will apply to each filing. The entire area Flying Horse North was addressed with the first filing.
2. Lot 21 will only receive 2 addresses, one on each street. Addressing marker should be moved to the middle of the lot on Rough Trail.
3. Contact me when you are ready to have addresses re-assigned to the area. Please show irrigations, mail kiosk, etc. locations when submitting for addresses.
4. Please provide a new overall site plan of the area with these changes.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the plans for the Flying Horse North PUD/SP Amendment (minor/Filing 5) in El Paso County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is familiar with the site, and has commented on the overall Flying Horse project area in the past, and CPW would defer to those previous comments. Based on the location and proposed actions, CPW anticipates that this project's impacts on the wildlife resource would be negligible if our previous comments are taken into consideration.

We appreciate being allowed to comment. Please feel free to contact District Wildlife Manager, Aaron Berscheid, should you have any questions or require additional information at 719-439-9601 or via email at aaron.berscheid@state.co.us

Academy District 20 is in receipt of File #PUDSP245 for approval of the Flying Horse North PUD/SP Amendment (Minor/Filing 5).

The District is requesting fees in lieu of land dedication per the existing County Code for all residential units within this development.

The District is experiencing ongoing residential development. The District gained approximately 11,000 new residential units between 2018 and 2023 which included 4,595 Single Family, 1,040 Single Family Attached, and 5,612 Apartments as reported to the District by local developers. During that same timeframe, the District only experienced a total membership increase of 171 students. This information is updated annually in October.

A drop in the birth rate plus the significant increase in the cost of housing has slowed student growth in the District.

The District is able to serve each student who is a resident of District 20.

If you need additional information, please contact me.
