Black Forest Fire Protection District
12/23/2025 8:58:29 PM 		1 At this time, no final determination or approval has been made regarding the fire protection approach for this filing. Our review is focused on confirming compliance with the applicable El Paso County Land Development Code requirements for fire protection water supply (municipal hydrant system where available, or an NFPA 1142–compliant alternative such as cisterns where hydrants/fire flows are not available or not sufficient), along with the supporting layout and access considerations discussed in the current project documentation. Once our internal review is complete and we have aligned on the water supply strategy, we will provide formal EDARP comments/conditions (as applicable) and outline what will be required on the next submittal to support approval. 12/23/2025 8:58:29 PM

There is no documentation of water for fire suppression shown on the plans as shown in the fire protection report and previously discussed with Black Forest Fire. Provide a water source for fire suppression operations.

There are no plat notes to match the requirements mentioned in the Wildfire and Hazard Mitigation Plan submitted with the plans. Provide plat notes to match the fire protection report to include hardened structure requirements.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife
12/12/2025 3:27:43 PM 		1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the plans for the Flying Horse North Filing No. 7 in El Paso County. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is familiar with the site and has commented on the overall Flying Horse North project area in the past. CPW defers 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 		12/12/2025 3:27:43 PM

RBD Floodplain
12/1/2025 8:13:27 AM 		1 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”;

The parcel is located within the current effective Zone A floodplain with no BFEs(no supporting model available). Draft model backed BFEs for this area have been developed as part of Phase 1 for the ongoing El Paso County, CO, Risk MAP Project”. The data has been reviewed and approved through FEMA’s QA/QC process (May 11, 2022) and is currently in the MIP (Case No. 19-08-0037s). The Phase 1/Base Level Engineering outputs and Zone A ready deliverables are, under the following folder:

BFEs from the aforementioned study should be shown on the final plat to comply with RBC 313.18.5 		12/1/2025 8:13:27 AM
Academy SD 20 Building Fund
12/1/2025 7:27:54 AM 		1 Academy District 20 is in receipt of File #SF2532 for approval of the Flying Horse North Filing No. 7.

It appears that the majority, if not all, of Flying Horse Number 7 is located in District 38. For any or all lots located in District 20, the District is requesting fees in lieu of land dedication per the existing County Code.

The District is experiencing ongoing residential development. The District gained approximately 13,650 new residential units between 2018 and 2025 which included 5,650 Single Family, 1,225 Single Family Attached, and 6,800 Apartments as reported to the District by local developers. During that same timeframe, the District only experienced a total membership increase of 23 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.

2. 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. 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). Paid directly to the Enumerations Department.

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.
