Andy:
I have reviewed the grading permit application for the Habitat for Humanity building and have the following comments:
- The site will disturb over 1.0 acres. A permit from the CDPHE will be necessary. The applicant should provide
evidence of permitting.
The septic system location proposed is too close to the property line and does not meet the setback
requirements.
- The 3" water line for future use is proposed to be under the building. This would make maintenance and/or
replacement difficult. Additionally, if there is any problem with leaking or damage to the line, there is increased
potential for damage to the building. The Applicant should consider mitigating the amount of water line that
would be placed beneath the building and running the water line on the exterior and to the north of the
proposed building.
The detention pond proposed may not be contained within the easement provided. The Applicant should verify.
The detention pond is proposed as an infiltrative/evaporative pond with an emergency overflow weir. The pond
is proposed to be enlarged and deepened as part of this project and reuse the existing outlet structure. No
calculations or sizing was provided for the detention system so verification of the adequacy was not reviewed
by this office.
Feel free to call or email with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
