Pikes Peak Regional Building Departmentreview 2Mar 2, 2026
1. Enumerations worked with 911 and determined that the access easement to the south of this development will not need to be named. 2. Previously provided addressing still applies; however, Lot 2 should be 18851, please update the plat prior to our mylar review. Final Plat comments still apply – Plat fee will be $60.00 for 6 lots. 1. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (mylar) prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block. 2. 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. 3. Pre-plat reviews can be reviewed via “pdf” or 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. If you would like an in-person review, please make an appointment on our website, https://www.pprbd.org/Home/BookAppt 4. 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.

County Attorney - Waterreview 1Oct 9, 2025
The estimated demand set forth in the WSIS exceeds the legal supply decreed in the Augmentation Plan of 1.0 AF/year/lot. Please revise your estimated demand so that you have enough water to supply all 6 lots or provide an additional water supply to meet the current estimated demand. Please also address the estimated demand in detail in the Water Resource Report. Because the Augmentation Plan covers 231 acres, of which this application is only a part, please provide information on any other subdivisions that are pending or have been approved which also rely on this Augmentation Plan. Finally, please provide proof of ownership of the water rights by Searle Development, Inc., since the Augmentation Plan is in the name of Searle Ranch, Inc.

1. Addressing has been provided to the applicant; however, the addressing will need to change. We agree with E-9-1-1 regarding the need to name the ingress/egress access easement to lot 6 and for the future unplatted area to the south parcel (61090-00-006) 2. Once the street name has been approved by El Paso/Teller County E-9-1-1 we can re-address these lots, to include a second address for the corner lot (Lot 1) and Lot 6. Standard Final Plat comments apply: 3. Enumerations will review the pre-plat (mylar) prior to plat for address placement, street names, and title block. 4.

The parcel is located within the current effective Zone A floodplain with no BFEs(no supporting model available). Draft model backed BFEs for this area have been developed as part of Phase 1 for the ongoing El Paso County, CO, Risk MAP Project”. The data has been reviewed and approved through FEMA’s QA/QC process (May 11, 2022) and is currently in the MIP (Case No. 19-08-0037s). The Phase 1/Base Level Engineering outputs and Zone A ready deliverables are, under the following folder: K:/FY2019/19-08-0037S/Discovery - BLE - El Paso and Teller Counties, CO - FY18 - 04/Discovery Data Capture - Discovery Data Capture - El Paso and Teller Counties, CO - 01/El Paso_Discovery_1 BFEs from the aforementioned study should be shown on the final plat to comply with RBC 313.18.5
