Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the plans for the Retreat at Prairie Ridge Filing No 2 in El Paso County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is familiar with the site, and has commented on the overall Retreat at Prairie Ridge project area in the past. 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 |

The available referral documents include a Soil and Geology Study, Retreat at Prairieridge Filing No. 2 (Entech Engineering, Job No. 241932, February 28, 2025), Final Plat (Classic Consulting, January 15, 2025), Letter of Intent (N.E.S., Inc., March 2025), Construction Documents (Classic Consulting, March 5, 2025), and other documents. 1. CGS appreciates Entech's installation of monitoring wells within the site. Groundwater depths between 4 to 12 feet below grade during drilling operations and at depths of 7.3 to 28.9 feet from February 2024 to February 2025. Based on Entech’s cut/fill column in Exhibit 1, about 2 to 29 feet of cut is planned within Filing 2. Other areas within Filing No. 2 (without a piezometer) may contain shallow groundwater following grading operations. CGS agrees with Entech on page 10, “The major constraint to be addressed will be groundwater conditions across the site.” 2. We agree with Entech (page 10 of their report) that “Buildings should maintain a minimum separation of 3 feet between the lowest foundation grade and the maximum anticipated groundwater level.” If the minimum separation cannot be achieved and mitigation measures are not possible (such as raising site grades well above maximum groundwater elevations based on a minimum yearlong monitoring program), then NO basements or other below-grade spaces (crawlspaces, walkouts, etc.) should be permitted within Prairie Ridge Filing No. 2. The piezometers should continue to be monitored during and following grading. 3. Note 19 of the final plat should be updated to reference Entech’s soil and geology study specific to Filing No. 2. 4. Note 19 also states, “In areas of shallow groundwater: Due to shallow groundwater in the area, all foundations shall incorporate an underground drainage system.” Plans regarding an underground drainage system have not been provided. Page 10 of Entech’s report also states, “where the proposed cut depths are at or exceeding current groundwater levels dewatering in addition to stabilization may be required.” Also, “Shallow groundwater areas can be mitigated with the installation of drains”. It has been our experience that these systems have issues due to individual connections and lack of a gravity discharge to a daylight outfall. An underdrain system should be allowed ONLY if it can gravity discharge to a daylight outfall. Individual foundation perimeter drains are intended to handle small amounts of intermittent, perched water, and CANNOT be used to mitigate persistent shallow groundwater conditions.

Academy District 20 is in receipt of File #SF259 for approval of the Retreat at Prairie Ridge Filing No 2. 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 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. Don Smith Planning Consultant |
