There are no driveway access permits on file for the existing driveways. Please apply for an access permit to legalize one of the existing driveways (instructions uploaded as a separate comment). Direct access to Falcon Highway is limited to one access point. One access shall be closed before an access permit is approved. See additional notes on the site plan drawing.

1 El Paso County Parks Department comments:

Thank you for the opportunity to review the Special Use for a Contractor's Equipment Yard!

Upon reviewing the project and site location, El Paso County Parks staff has found that there are no immediate impacts to El Paso County parks, trails, open space, or other El Paso County Parks related items. It should be noted that the Falcon Highway proposed bicycle route will run along Falcon Highway at the South end of the property and the applicant should be aware of the ROW and ensure no items are within it.

El Paso County Parks staff will not have comments regarding this project.

Thank you!
