Note: Staff has received a copy of a resolution from the Town opposing the densities contemplated in the proposed service plan. If the rezonings are not approved by the BOCC, then the service plan would need to be rewritten. Staff advises that the Districts' be scheduled for hearing post BoCC approval of the rezonings, so that the need for the Special District is justified as described in the submitted service plan. 8/27/2024 12:23:54 PM

Please provide documentation from the existing Misty Acres District that the district supports the removal of commercial and multifamily land from the existing district or that the Overlap is supported by the District if no exclusion is to occur. The Misty Acres Service plan relies on that area to construct Misty Acres Blvd in phase 3, and contributions to debt incurred. If exclusion is to occur, when is that court date anticipated? Please address. 8/22/2024 9:26:52 AM

I note the following two issues, which are acknowledged in the draft Service Plan:

1. Because this application is running concurrently with the necessary Underlying Land Use Approvals, there is a risk that this application may be denied or approved with conditions preventing moving forward to election unless and until those Underlying Land Use Approvals are obtained and support the development description and assumptions based thereon contained in this application. See El Paso County Special District Policies Section III.I dated 11/1/22 adopted under Resolution No. 22-376.

2. As noted in the draft Service Plan, part of proposed District 3 overlaps the Misty Acres Metro District. Though not required, I recommend excluding the affected property excluded from the Misty Acres Metro District prior to hearing on this application and obtaining a written statement from the Misty Acres Metro District that they are unwilling or unable to provide service to this property.
