Black Forest Fire Protection District

BFFRPD (Black Forest Fire Rescue Protection District) has reviewed the proposed project. Of concern for BFFRPD operations is the fire department access and fire protection water supplies, considering there are no known cisterns and there is not a municipal water system. Per BFFRPD, Fire Protection Cisterns or natural water supplies shall be provided in; subdivisions of 5 or more lots, commercial/industrial developments where there is insufficient public and or private water supply to meet minimum fire flows required by NFPA 1141, 1142 and reference standards of those publications. The applicant states installation of a 5,000 gallon cistern for each lot which may cause undue hardship. We invite the applicant to discuss alterative options such as one 30,000 gallon cistern instead of six 5,000 gallon cisterns. All structures and street signs need to comply with PPRBD, EL Paso County standards, IBC and IFC 2015 standards. Our recommendation is the applicant demonstrate full compliance and conformance with El Paso County’s adopted Land Development Code (LDC), Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM), adopted International Fire Code (IFC), and all other adopted codes, provisions, or statutes that impact fire safety to include access/egress, water supply, hardening of structures, addressing, fire protection systems, etc. As of April 1st, 2026, the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code (CWRC) takes effects and although IFC 2015 is currently adopted, be advised BFFRPD is currently in the process of transitioning to the 2021 IFC and adopting the CWRC. It may be prudent for applicant to abide by 2021 IFC requirements to prevent shortcomings in building requirements if 2021 IFC is adopted prior to construction. |

1. The North/South access roadway on the East side of the development will need to be named. Please contact Emergency Services 911 to reserve a street name. Contact Justin Annan jannan@eptc911.org. 2. An address change will need to occur in conjunction with the plat for 4570 Old Ranch Road, it is the developer’s responsibility to notify the owners of this property that their address will change due to the new named access.

Comments for E911 as follows: The private access running North/South along the East side of this development should be a named roadway. Please be aware that if this road is intended as an improved access for the existing 4570 Old Ranch Rd, this will require an address change for them. This should be discussed with the owner in advance. Streetnaming information (criteria, existing/reserved names) can be found at: https://www.elpasoteller911.org/street-emergency-number-databases Thank you. Justin |

The Black Forest Land Use Committee regrets that we were unaware that this project had progressed to the final plat stage. We sincerely wish there was a way we could be notified of PC and BoCC hearings for specific proposals without having to check the website every week. The only issue we had with this development was the necessity of creating a new road on the east side of the parcel. We don't understand why Studebaker Lane on the west side couldn't be used. The new road no doubt took some land from adjoining land owners . |

Academy District 20 is in receipt of File #SF266 for approval of the Elk View Estates - Final Plat. 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 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. Don Smith Planning Consultant |
