1 | The distance between the egress points do not meet the adopted fire code and for most of the lots create one point of access. The dead ends exceed the fire code maximum. Since the El Paso County Planning Executive Director has determined they are responsible for water at the planning stage a separate water plan is required to be submitted directly to Ellicott Fire prior to building permit. Ellicott Fire Protection District will not support any deviation from the code minimum for water supply or access. The Fire Protection Report does not address the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code that will apply to all permitted structures in the development. Please provide the code required access, water and wild fire elements for this plan. | 9/4/2026 2:40:30 PM | |

The site does not contain steep slopes, is not undermined, and does not contain, nor is it exposed to, any geologic hazards that would preclude the existing and proposed residential use and density. Per Entech’s Report (Entech Engineering, December 7, 2021), the geologic conditions that will pose constraints on the site include areas of hydrocompactive soils and potentially seasonal shallow groundwater areas. In addition, erosion is a geologic condition associated with the site soils. Entech’s characterization of the geologic hazards and constraints associated with the site is valid. CGS offers the following comments and recommendations. Entech mapped areas of potentially seasonal shallow groundwater in Figure 6, and states on page 5, “Blowouts associated with the windblown sands are located in some areas across the site and that have been mapped as potentially seasonally shallow groundwater areas.” We agree with Entech: “Due to the lot sizes these areas can be avoided.” CGS recommends that the proposed lots (Lots 12, 25, 33, 44, and 45) impacted by potentially seasonally shallow groundwater be noted on the Preliminary Plan. CGS also agrees with Entech’s recommendations in their wastewater study (page 5): “Absorption field must be located a minimum of 100 feet from any well, including those on adjacent properties. Absorption fields must also be located a minimum of 50 feet from any drainages, floodplains, or ponded areas and 25 feet from dry gulches.” CGS recommends: 1. A note should be included in the preliminary plan referencing Entech’s December 7, 2021, report or most current, and listing the geologic hazards/conditions and mitigation measures as appropriate. The lots associated with potential seasonal shallow groundwater should be included. 2. Entech should be provided with the updated plans to review; pond construction/excavation recommendations should also be included in an addendum/updated report. 3. Entech’s recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Submitted 9/3/2026 by Amy Crandall, Engineering Geologist, Colorado Geological Survey (303-384-2632 or acrandall@mines.edu) |

The Applicant is 20165 Howle Street LLC but the 4336-BD Determination allocates the water to Rockwood Homes, LLC. Please provide deeds or other documentation showing that 20165 Howle Street LLC is the owner of the water rights in the Determination. Please also clarify the scope of the Preliminary Plan. The Letter of Intent and Water Supply Information Summary only refer to residential, but the commercial parcel is shown on the preliminary plan drawings. Thank you! |

1. Golden Eagle Drive seem to be a continuation of the same street from the neighboring subdivision Viewpoint Estates. Street name Chesley Drive is miss spelled on the vicinity map, shown as Chelsey Drive. Also on sheet 1.2, 1.5 ,1.6, 1.9. Note: Street names have been reserved for this project. 2. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door, and should be placed as close to the edge of the lot as possible, running parallel to the street it is being addressed from.
