El Paso County Conservation Distreview 1Jul 12, 2026
The El Paso County Conservation District has reviewed this application and we have the following comments: 1) Nearby Floodwater Control Dam concerns In this filing, Parcel Number 6100000457 is shown as split into what the documents call Parcel 1 & 2. Parcel 1 is where this filing is and Parcel 2 is the eastern 35 acres of the property as shown through the assessor's page. Parcel 2 houses a flood water control dam that is controlled by El Paso County with a shared easement with EPCCD (named Franktown Parker FPE - #5). This is one of the dams that EPCCD inspects in partnership with EPC through our MOU. This filing on the Parcel 1 side (western side of the property) has 2 things that we would like to have 2 things done prior to giving our final recommendations because of concerns with this dam and its possible implications if not correctly looked into: 1) We would like a detailed topographical map added to this that shows the elevations marked at every 5' in elevation. This map needs to have the entire property mapped out (Parcel 1 & 2), to include the exact heights of the dam and its spillway. The reason for this is because looking at this property using USGS topo maps, it shows that their lot #4 in this filing may possibly be partly or completely within the submersion zone of this dam and its spillway. Having an up-to-date topomap would help show if this is for sure the case, which may deem lot #4 or parts of others as possibly undevelopable. This is a requirement because there are no current FEMA flood maps that shows this tributary of E. Cherry Creek that would otherwise show this data. 2) This filing shows a runoff detention pond being added, which then drains directly into this dam's primary fill area. This is something we would need engineers from EPC Public Works Dept to review and see if: A) this is something that is even allowed for these dams by the county, and B) if doing this changes the inflow during significant rainfall events that this area gets (2+ inch rainfall events), which may impact things such as expected capabilities of the dam and what stresses it can handle being an earthen dam. Once these are done, the EPCCD will be able to give its final comments on erosion controls and other natural resource related issues. For any questions, please feel free to contact the EPCCD at 719-600-4706 or Will Vogl - Board VP at Will@EPCCD.org

It would be helpful if Applicant could either upload a Water Supply Information Summary/or update the Letter of Intent that would state something to the effect of "This filing contains 25 of the 50 lots and 2 of the 3 irrigated acres reviewed with the PP. The estimated water demand has not changed" or actually list the water demand in the WSIS for each separate filing. This way, we can subtract from the total as we go along to ensure we are within the original approval amounts.

1. The intent letter mentions 15 lots, I only see 14. Please clarify if there are 15 or 14 lots. 2. See attached image for addressing plan. Add the addresses to the final plat prior to our review of the mylar. Plat fees will be $140.00 for the 14 addresses. 3. General Final Plat comments apply. a. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (mylar) prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block. b. A $10.00 per lot and tract platting fee will be due at the time of the review of the pre-plat, (two addresses per lot and tract). If an address is not needed on a tract then no fee applies. Check should be made out to PIKES PEAK REGIONAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT or PPRBD. As of December 5th 2023, the fee for all credit/debit cards has changed from the flat 2.95% fee to the following: Over the phone Credit/Debit Card payments will be 2.3% and In-Person Debit Card payments will be 1.5% (in-person only). Paid directly to the Enumerations Department. c. Pre-plat reviews need to be in-person. The pre-plat will be stamped by Enumerations for accuracy and returned to the applicant and the planner. All payments to be mailed to RBD via a check or credit card payment over the phone. Plats should not be recorded prior to Enumerations stamping the pre-plat and receiving payment of plat fees. If any pre-plat changes occur, even if changes do not apply to Enumerations, we still need to re-stamp the pre-plat. The Enumerations stamped pre-plat copy should match the recorded document minus a few signatures. Please schedule an in-person review, please make an appointment on our website, https://www.pprbd.org/Home/BookAppt d. A copy of the final recorded plat is required prior to plan submittal for RESIDENTIAL Please email the Enumerations staff member that reviewed your project.

Colorado Geological Surveyreview 1Jul 8, 2026
CGS Unique No. EP-26-0021_2 Iron Ridge Filing No. 1 – Final Plat El Paso File No. SF2613 Location: S½ Section 13, T11S, R66W, 6th P.M. 39.0917°, -104.7266° With this referral, we received the Final Plat (Gould Land Surveying, May 2026), Construction Documents and GEC Plans (All Terrain Engineering, May 22, 2026), Letter of Intent (Vertex Consulting Services, April 14, 2026), Stormwater Management Plan (All Terrain Engineering, June 2026), Water Resources Report (Monson, Cummins, Shohet & Farr, March 30, 2026), Wastewater Study (Entech Engineering, September 12, 2025), and other supporting documents. CGS previously reviewed the Iron Ridge Preliminary Plan (SP253). No revised soils and geology study was submitted with this Final Plat referral. Therefore, the geologic characterization and hazard identification presented in Entech Engineering's September 2025 Soils and Geology Study remain the controlling geologic evaluation for this project. CGS continues to concur with Entech's characterization of the site geology, identified geologic hazards, and recommended mitigation measures. We understand this referral consists of Iron Ridge Filing No. 1, a Final Plat creating fifteen rural residential lots on approximately 43.5 acres with public road improvements, individual wells, onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), and associated drainage improvements. The site does not contain any unusual geologic hazards or geotechnical constraints that would preclude the proposed subdivision, provided the recommendations contained in the geologic report are incorporated into the final design and construction. The site is underlain by the Dawson Formation and associated colluvial and alluvial deposits. Identified geologic hazards and constraints include expansive soils, localized potentially unstable slopes, downslope creep, shallow bedrock, erosion, and areas of seasonal or potentially seasonal shallow groundwater, primarily associated with mapped drainage corridors. We offer the following comments and recommendations: 1. Groundwater. The Final Plat submittal does not include a revised geologic investigation or the groundwater monitoring program recommended during CGS's Preliminary Plan review. The available geologic information indicates that the regional Dawson aquifer is generally deep beneath the site; however, the geologic investigation documented redoximorphic features, mapped seasonal and potentially seasonal shallow groundwater areas, and identified localized conditions favorable for perched groundwater associated with shallow Dawson Formation bedrock and mapped drainage corridors. Although groundwater was not encountered during exploratory drilling, the absence of groundwater during drilling should not be interpreted as evidence that seasonal groundwater will not affect future below-grade construction. These conditions cannot be adequately characterized by a single investigation conducted over a limited period of time. CGS continues to recommend that groundwater monitoring/observation be conducted to determine the feasibility of basement construction and to verify that proposed foundation components are maintained at least 3 feet above the maximum anticipated seasonal groundwater level throughout the year. To adequately characterize seasonal fluctuations, monitoring should include observations through spring, summer, fall, and winter and should not be initiated only during site-specific building investigations. Unless sufficient monitoring demonstrates adequate separation from seasonal high groundwater, CGS recommends that basements not be permitted. 2. Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems. The Wastewater Study appropriately recognizes that seasonal shallow groundwater may affect OWTS placement and recommends lot-specific evaluation. Final OWTS design should maintain adequate separation from seasonal groundwater and avoid mapped drainage corridors and areas of seasonal shallow groundwater. 3. Site-Specific Investigations. Prior to the building permit application, site-specific soils and foundation investigations should be conducted for each proposed structure. These investigations should verify foundation recommendations, evaluate localized groundwater conditions where encountered, and incorporate appropriate foundation drainage measures where necessary. 4. Geologic Hazard Statement. A geologic hazard statement, consistent with the El Paso County Land Development Code, should be included on the final plat referencing the geologic report and the identified geologic hazards and constraints applicable to the site.
