Comment:
1. Not sure where the address of 6809 Space Village Ave come from; it is written on the site plan end tab but this address is not available. For consistency sake with the rest of the surrounding development I believe it would be best to assign a Space Village Ave address to the Kum & Go store. Please utilize 6807 Space Village Ave for the store and 6805 Space Village Ave for the gas canopy.
2. Is the only access to this site from behind the convenience store from Space Village Ave? I am not seeing any other curb cut for access from Peterson Blvd. Is the Kum & Go store going to utilize the existing curb cut for the stripe building to the south?
3. Please see notes from last submittal regarding Peterson Blvd & Peterson Road.
4. If the Kum & Go Store is to plat with the existing surrounding buildings, please indicate the addresses in use on site for those buildings for the plat. Please clarify what is to be included in the plat.
ELPASO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Please accept the following comments from El Paso County Public Health regarding the project referenced above:
1. There is a finding for sufficiency in terms of water quality for drinking water obtained from Cherokee Metropolitan District which is a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, regulated central water supply. The water system is assigned PWSID# CO-0121125 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
2. There is sufficient wastewater treatment capacity at the Cherokee Metropolitan District wastewater treatment facility to treat the projected wastewater flows from this proposed 1.77 acre commercial site. A letter from Cherokee Metropolitan District dated 08Sept2017 indicates there is sufficient water and wastewater capacity for this development project.
3. This development site has earthmoving activity in excess of one acre, but less than twenty-five acres, and requires a Construction Activity Permit from El Paso County Public Health. Go to http://www.elpasocountyhealth.org/service/air-quality for more information.
4. Radon resistant construction building techniques/practices are encouraged to be used in this area. The EPA has determined that Colorado, and the El Paso County area have potentially higher radon levels than other areas of the country.
5. El Paso County Public Health requires interior finish plans to be submitted for review and approval prior to commencement of construction.

COLORADO SPRINGS AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION
Airport staff recommends no objection with the following conditions:
1. Provide proof of previous avigation easement or Airport Activity Notice and Disclosure recordation for this property.
2. Based on elevation data, the Airport requests that the applicant file Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration” for any new vertical development at this site, including temporary construction equipment, and provide FAA documentation to the Airport before the commencement of construction activities.
3. More information about the airspace evaluation submittal process is available on the FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis website at: https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp
PETERSON AFB
1. The primary concern at this point is the condition of the existing 24" culvert under Peterson Blvd. I think someone should check that it is OK. Things I would check:
• Obstructions (e.g. cave-in, vegetation, dead bodies, live bodies, etc.)
• Sump conditions due to failure of the pipe bedding.
• Breaks in the pipe.
• Slope of pipe adequate to handle the design flows.
• Discharge end of pipe causing erosion (no flaired end or riprap to dissipate energy).
• Based on the drawing, it appears that this line goes to the triangle island northeast of the Platte off ramp, not positive though. We do not want any flow or discharge onto Peterson AFB property or easements
Comments received from any of the non-responding agencies following the issuance of this letter will be forwarded to the applicant/applicant’s representative and will be added to the end of this letter for record keeping purposes.
Due to the number of comments and necessary revisions to the plan(s) an additional detailed review will be necessary. Please address the comments as listed above. A detailed letter needs to accompany the revisions to allow for an expeditious re-review timeframe. The letter should include each comment listed above and, immediately thereafter, include a response from the applicant addressing the comment.
If any review agency has an issue that needs resolution or requires a revision, you will need to provide the necessary documents, drawings, etc., to the Planning and Community Development Department in the form of a resubmittal.
