Note:
- County is implementing a new process where private roads connecting to County Public roads need to do a County Access Permit, similar to CDOT's access permit. With the private roads for this project, the permit will be required. Attached is a copy of the access permit application and the Terms and Conditions Forms. A CA project will be set up where these documents can be uploaded once they have been filled out. If you have any questions concerning this, please let me know.

Comments on Soils and Geology Report as it was locked for editing. :
- Include PCD File No. PUDSP226 at the end of the Ref section.
- Include the full soils report from the first submittal as well as the memo from this submittal in a single document.

1 1. Contact Enumerations when you are ready to have addresses assigned. The project will be placed on a list to have the addresses assigned.
2. Once the addresses are received they will needed to be added to the plat.
3. Standard Final Plat comments:
a. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (mylar) prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block.
b. A $10.00 per lot and tract platting fee will be due at the time of the review of the pre-plat, (two addresses per lot and tract). If an address is not needed on a tract then no fee applies. Check should be made out to PIKES PEAK REGIONAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT or PPRBD. Paid directly to the Enumerations Department. As of December 5th 2023, the fee for all credit/debit cards has changed from the flat 2.95% fee to the following: Over the phone Credit/Debit Card payments will be 2.3% and In-Person Debit Card payments will be 1.5% (in-person only).
c. Pre-plat reviews can be reviewed via “pdf” or in-person. The pre-plat will be stamped by Enumerations for accuracy and returned to the applicant and the planner. All payments to be mailed to RBD via a check or credit card payment over the phone. Plats should not be recorded prior to Enumerations stamping the pre-plat and receiving payment of plat fees. If any pre-plat changes occur, even if changes do not apply to Enumerations, we still need to re-stamp the pre-plat. The Enumerations stamped pre-plat copy should match the recorded document minus a few signatures. If you would like an in-person review, please make an appointment on our website, https://www.pprbd.org/Home/BookAppt
d. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to approval in the Enumerations department on any COMMERCIAL plan submittal. Please email the Enumerations staff member that reviewed your project.

1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the plans for the Villages at Sterling Ranch Plat in El Paso County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is familiar with the site, and has commented on the overall Sterling Ranch 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

1 Academy District 20 is in receipt of File #SF2439 for approval of the Villages at Sterling Ranch Plat.

Academy District 20 is requesting land dedication in lieu of fees for all residential units within the Sterling Ranch development per the approved agreement between the District, El Paso County, SR Land, LLC and Classic SRJ Land, LLC.

The District is experiencing ongoing residential development. The District gained approximately 12,000 new residential units between 2018 and 2024 which included 5,278 Single Family, 1,156 Single Family Attached, and 5,576 Apartments as reported to the District by local developers. During that same timeframe, the District only experienced a total membership increase of 138 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.
