GS Unique No. EP-26-0108_1 Marksheffel Crossing El Paso File No. SKP262 Location: Portions of the NE ¼ and SE ¼ of Section 5, T14S, R65W, 6th P.M. 38.8621°, -104.6831° and 38.8567°, -104.6853° With this referral, we received the Marksheffel Crossing Sketch Plan (N.E.S. Inc., June 15, 2026), Letter of Intent (N.E.S. Inc., June 2026), Geologic Hazard Evaluation and Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, Rowley Property, Marksheffel Road and Colorado Tech Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado (CTL|Thompson, Inc., Project No. CS20042-115, May 11, 2026), Master Development Drainage Plan for Marksheffel Crossing (Classic Consulting Engineers & Surveyors, LLC, submitted June 2026), and other supporting documents. We understand this referral consists of a Sketch Plan for approximately 57.28 acres of residential, retail/commercial, industrial, roadway, drainage, and open-space uses. The proposed development includes up to 86 dwelling units, approximately 9.37 acres of retail/commercial use, 30.18 acres of industrial use, and 6.50 acres of drainage and open space. The principal geologic constraints affecting the proposed development are the floodplain, periodic high-flow, and erosion conditions associated with East Fork Sand Creek Sub-Tributary 6 and localized shallow, seasonally variable groundwater. Groundwater was encountered in six of seven borings at depths of approximately 9 to 22 feet, with delayed measurements between approximately 8.5 and 18 feet. CTL|Thompson reports that the borings were completed during anticipated winter low-groundwater conditions and estimates seasonal fluctuations of approximately 3 to 5 feet. These groundwater conditions may influence future grading, foundation elevations, utilities, and below-grade construction. Undocumented fill and localized loose soils are additional geotechnical constraints. The current Sketch Plan reserves approximately 6.50 acres for drainage and open-space uses and shows a conceptual alignment for East Fork Sand Creek Sub-Tributary 6. The submitted geologic evaluation adequately characterizes the groundwater conditions for the Sketch Plan stage and identifies a reasonable path for addressing them during subsequent design. Together with the submitted drainage evaluation, the plan provides an adequate conceptual basis for determining that the identified geologic hazards and constraints do not preclude the proposed land-use pattern. CGS generally agrees with the geologic interpretation, identification of geologic hazards and constraints, and mitigation approach presented in the submitted information. Based on the information provided, CGS does not object to approval of the Marksheffel Crossing Sketch Plan. We offer the following comment: Drainage Corridor and Land-Use Compatibility. Future preliminary plan, final plat, or site development plan submittals affecting East Fork Sand Creek Sub-Tributary 6 or adjacent development should demonstrate that proposed building and infrastructure areas are compatible with the County-accepted channel, floodplain, and erosion-hazard limits.

1. A 10' wide public sidewalk along Marksheffel Rd. must be installed. 2. Engineering Development Review will require all non-Marksheffel Rd. public improvements to be built to full City Standards if this is chosen for pre-annexation per the IGA. Joel Dagnillo, P.E.

1- The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) will need to be updated and re-evaluated for future roadway improvements once the land uses and densities are known and figured out. 2- Traffic Engineering will require all public improvements to be built to full City Standards if this site is chosen for pre-annexation.

RBC313.18.5 Subdivision Proposals. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage; All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage; FEMA approved base flood elevation data and 100-year floodplain boundaries shall be provided and shown on plats for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments that contain at least fifty lots or five (5) acres, whichever is less; All buildable lots less than two and one half (2½) acres in size are required to be located entirely outside of the 100-year floodplain. Lands within the 100-year floodplain shall be established in a tract, and require that the owner maintain the tract. Buildable lots two and one half (2½) acres and larger, are required to have the 100-year floodplain contained in a drainage easement dedicated by plat in the name of the governing body with the restrictions of “No Build” and “No Storage of any Materials”; and If subdivision proposals are located within three hundred (300) feet of a Zone A floodplain, FEMA approved base flood elevations and boundaries are required to be determined and shown on the plat, or provide a Floodplain Certification Letter by a professional engineer or architect licensed by the state of Colorado, stating that “Based on field verified characteristics of the property, the property is reasonably safe from flooding and to the best of the engineer’s knowledge if the 100-year floodplain were studied it would not enter the property in question”. |
