El Paso County Conservation Distreview 1Jul 12, 2026
The El Paso County Conservation District has reviewed this and we have the following comments: 1) Setback Variance EPCCD has no concerns with the setback variance request as this kind of request does not directly create any obvious conservation concerns. 2) Erosion controls/Revegetation plans We did not see any documents that went over an erosion control or revegetation/landscape plan during and post construction of the proposed building. Due to this building being closer than typical to the property line with their neighbor, we feel it's important to have a plan in place to address these issues. Additionally, this neighborhood also hosts one of the counties floor mitigation dams (West Cherry Creek Dam #6), which is immediately downstream of this property and the EPCCD has an easement on. Having an erosion and revegetation plan will also help protect this site from any unnecessary sediment infilling from water erosion. As such, EPCCD would like to see the following recommendations followed during and after construction. These could be added to the letter of intent, construction plans, or as a separate "Erosion control/Revegetation Plan" document: A) Disturbed areas not being built on should be mulched and revegetated within 45 days (or asap after if weather doesn't allow) of disturbance using plant/grass species native and/or naturalized to El Paso County. B) Disturbed areas be either: mulched after seeding with weed-free hay or straw mulch at approximately 5,000 lbs per acre; Or areas that are not suitable for revegetation such as driveway/parking areas (if not going to be paved), or safety areas around buildings should have a 1-2" thick layer of crushed rock, road base, gravel, or other ornamental rock based material to assist in preventing having exposed soil that would cause erosion issues for adjacent neighbors or the immediate watershed. C) Prior to and during construction, silt fencing needs to be in place around the downhill sides of the construction in order to prevent water erosion issues beyond the immediate construction site in the event of heavy precipitation events. D) For areas being replanted with natural grass, consider using the El Paso County Conservation District’s Native Shotgun Mix (available at EPCCD.org) for reseeding, which is well suited to soils present on this site and is comprised of 100% native and naturalized grass species. If these measures are added to the project's plan, then the El Paso County Conservation District will be content with the applicant's commitment to soil conservation, watershed protection, and protection of the surrounding community. For any questions, please feel free to contact the EPCCD at 719-600-4706 or Will Vogl - Board VP at Will@EPCCD.org
