Notice of any forest health issues may be required by the County through conditions of approval or notes placed on the face of the plat. This area is a light hazard wildfire urban interface area requiring the following: 9.14 m (30 ft) clearance. Class A roof. No portion of trees or other vegetation within 3.048 m (10 ft) of chimney outlets. Trees within defensible space shall be pruned to minimize ladder fuels. Fire Protection Notes How will water for fire protection be provided? Monument fire does not adopt Appendixes B and C of the International Fire Code requiring water. The Land Development Code does require water which may be provided for either with a cistern or with a central water supply. Please detail which will be provided with the necessary calculations. This site is in a WUI area per the CSFS map. This requires that mitigation and Class A roofing be in place. These notes must be added to the plat. The access to the structures cannot be determined from the plans provided. It is unclear what the slop of the access is and if the 150’ requirement will be met per 6.3.3 C 3. Risk Assessment Required. A wildland fire risk and hazard severity assessment shall be performed for all structures and groups of structures adjacent to wildland fuels. Note what areas are low and high risk When a subject lot, parcel, or tract falls within a wildland fire area, a wildland fire risk and hazard mitigation plan shall be prepared by a qualified professional. The water supply cannot be evaluated as no information has been provided on this topic. There are no exceptions listed in the LDC for not providing a water supply for fire protection.

Academy SD 20 Building Fundreview 1Apr 28, 2025
Academy District 20 is in receipt of File # VR254 for approval of the Hancock Subdivision VR -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 Letter of Intent incorrectly stated that this property was served by Lewis Palmer school district. The property is actually within the boundaries of Academy School District 20. The District is experiencing ongoing residential development. The District gained approximately 12,000 new residential units between 2018 and 2024 which included 5,278 Single Family, 1,156 Single Family Attached, and 5,576 Apartments as reported to the District by local developers. During that same timeframe, the District only experienced a total membership increase of 138 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
