Final Plat Survey
Seven Lot Final Plat Layout with Proposed Building Envelopes
The final plat incorporates seven lots of 10+ acres each plus 33 acres of open space. Each lot will have building envelopes established to maintain suitable buffer between any structures built near neighbors and the open space. The Lot 7 building envelope is designed to keep all structures away of the area prone to retaining water. The water level within the retired gravel pit will be managed by regrading the surface to allow excess water to exit under Phantom Loop through four 32 inch culverts. See the drainage report for the engineering details and water flow calculations.
Minor Plat Filing 2
The Minor Plat Filing 2 was approved by the county's Community Development Manager on January 29th, 2025. Since both lots will not be sharing the newly constructed Phantom Loop, filing 2 will not be included in the proposed Home Owners Association. The HOA for filing 1 will be responsible for maintaining the road and the open space. Filing 2 incorporates an existing driveway directly off County Rd 21 serving Lot #2 plus a new driveway for serving the new house on lot #1.
Lot #1 has been purchased by a builder with intentions to build a custom home on the land. After receiving quotes for construction there was not enough margin to support the potential risks and unfortunately the buyer has placed the parcel back on the market. Lot #2 already has a house that is occupied by a family member and no changes are planned.
Remediation of Retired Gun Range
Several years ago a friend of the property owner was allowed to use the retired gravel pit in lot 7 to teach weapons safety and concealed carry permits. The site was used for around 4 years with a total range use of about a dozen times. After community concern over heavy metals contamination was mentioned, the developer undertook testing. The lab results showed lead contamination in excess of EPA limits in four of the 50 sampled areas.
Considerable remediation efforts and testing have been completed per the plan submitted and approved by CDPHE. The soils containing the spent bullets and residual lead have been removed and testing was completed. CDPHE provided a No Further Action letter on July 17th, 2025. All the waste soils were removed by an approved contractor following the plan submitted to CDPHE and sent to a hazardous waste landfill near Deer Trail Colorado.
