County Attorney - Waterreview 4Apr 13, 2026
In both the Water Supply Information Summary (WSIS) and Water Resources Report (WRR) house-hold use is listed at .26 af/y which totals 7.28 af/y with a use of “other” listed at .543 af/y which totals 15.204 af/y. 7.28 af/y +15.204=22.484 af/y although the requested demand in both WSIS & WRR is listed at 24.09 af/y. Please account for the extra 1.606 af/y or update and upload new WSIS/WRR. Page 3 of the WRR mentions that the “other” demand of .543 af/y per lot water will be utilized for irrigation, stock water, recreation (including pool and/or hot tob), landscape ponds, commercial, fire protection. Please break down the specific uses using the guidelines in LDC (B)(7)(d)&(e). After the above has been addressed, and a new letter from the Colorado Division of Water Resources has been received showing sufficient water, we will begin review.

1. Existing Brown Rd coming in from the north should be a logical continuation into this subdivision. Please update plans to show Brown Road. 2. When submitting the development plan to Enumerations for addressing, please be sure to send us a copy that does not have topography or elevation lines. We need a clean, clear copy to add addresses. See standard development plan comments below: 1. For assignment of addressing for lots and tracts, place addressing marker (xxx) where they are intended to be utilized. Addressing marker for lots should be front door, and should be placed as close to the edge of the lot as possible, running parallel to the street it is being addressed from. 2. Provide a 100 scale copy or larger of the entire APPROVED development plan (d.p.) to this department so that addressing can be assigned. Once received, the development plan will be placed on a list to be addressed. Development plans that are not yet approved may be addressed, however additional plan review fees will accrue if changes are made to the D.P. after initial addressing.
