1 | Since the site is located under an area where the Academy’s cadets regularly fly and train in non-powered gliders, USAFA would like to understand the number and locations of planned airstream trailers on this property. Highly reflective surfaces, including a concentration of polished airstream trailers, can create specular reflections that cause temporary flash blindness (after-image) for pilots. If multiple airstream trailers will be sited near one another, we request that the planning department consider asking the applicant to complete a glint/glare study as proactive risk mitigation. We can provide details on the glider flight paths for the applicant to use in the industry-standard modeling software. While glint/glare studies are typically completed for solar panel projects, we note that traditional solar panels are designed to absorb light and only reflect about 2% to 10%, while polished aluminum on airstream trailers has a significantly higher specular reflectance, meaning the glare potential can be much more intense and highly concentrated. Please ensure USAFA is included on the full site development plan review, as this plan will be required after the special use approval. | 10/9/2026 2:55:53 PM | |

1 | The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) has received the 16965 Lindbergh Road Recreation Camp and Event Center (AL2622) project review request. Since our aircrafts will fly near this area, the USAFA requests that the county considers asking the applicant to file an avigation easement with the El Paso County Clerks and Recorders Office as well as place a noise notice on the final plat and development plan. The avigation easement and noise notice instructions have been attached to this comment. Once the avigation easement has been filed, please send the recorded document, with the reception number, to our Community Planner Sabrina Untal at sabrina.untal.ctr@us.af.mil and 10ces.cenp.usafadevreviewgrp@us.af.mil. | 10/9/2026 2:52:34 PM |

V1_Planning comment - The primary focus of the Special Use document review was to analyze the request using the following Land Development Code criteria: (5.3.2.C) In approving a special use, the following criteria may be considered: • The special use is generally consistent with the applicable Master Plan; • The special use will be in harmony with the character of the neighborhood, and will generally be compatible with the existing and allowable land uses in the surrounding area; • The impact of the special use does not overburden or exceed the capacity of public facilities and services, or, in the alternative, the special use application demonstrates that it will provide adequate public facilities in a timely and efficient manner; • The special use will not create unmitigated traffic congestion or traffic hazards in the surrounding area, and has adequate, legal access; • The special use will comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding air, water, light, or noise pollution; • The special use will not otherwise be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the present or future residents of El Paso County; and/or • The special use conforms or will conform to all other applicable County rules, regulations or ordinances. |

EPC DPW Stormwater has no comments on the special use application. Per your submitted site map it looks like you will (1) disturb over 1 acre during construction and (2) have added over 1 acre of developed/impervious area to the property since 2008. A stormwater permit (ESQCP) will be required for construction, see below for the engineering documents that will be required with the subsequent Site Development Plan project. Also, since there is over 1 acre of development, the developed areas will require water quality treatment (i.e. stormwater pond, rain garden, etc.) or exclusion from treatment. No action is required for this application, just informing you of the anticipated requirements for the Site Development Plan project. ESQCP Documents (for future Site Development Plan project): ESQCP Form, FAE Form, GEC Plan + Checklist, SWMP + Checklist, PCM Applicability Form Feel free to reach out with any questions.
