    Joe Rovig asked about 1 month ago

    Hello Joe, 

    1. The current property owner has given permission for the developer to submit a development application for the Pagos awest Subdivision. When the subdivision is approved, a new plat will be recorded which will supersede the previously plated property. There are no agreements associated with any previous development plans for this property.

    2.  Yes, there are no regulations or concerns that apply to this development due to the distance of approximately 500 feet from the Heli-Pad. The Hospital has responded with no current concerns associated with the proposed project.

    3.  The project currently does not propose a request for any height variances. Staff has not identified any concerns with exceeding height at this Sketch application stage. Height and other site specific design criteria is reviewed following Final Subdivision application process at the Major Design Review application stage.

    4.  The developer has an option to purchase the property. No taxpayer dollars are involved for installation of infrastructure, other than the state grant received. Our Code requires developers to pay for the infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate the development needs. Some roads/sidewalks/trails will be accepted by the town for ownership and maintenance. Some roads will remain under an HOA. Water and sewer infrastructure is likely to be transferred to Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District. LPEA will own the electric transmission lines.

    5. The developer is paying or financing for infrastructure improvements. PAWSD, Town, LPEA have their own specific permitting and approval processes that include a review of the ability to serve the proposed development. Though many of these processes are underway, they are not required until the next preliminary Subdivision application stage.

    Elizabeth Neer asked about 1 month ago

    Hello Elizabeth, 

    The Subdivision is required to continue the Town to Lakes commuter trail from Pinion Causeway to North Pagos Blvd. as well as internal connectivity of sidewalks and trails.

    Steve Giesen asked almost 2 years ago

    Community benefits agreements are an option when there is considerable cost that the developer is not willing to pay for. This development has accepted financial responsibility for the highway improvements and has committed to an ownership option for affordable housing that is linked to income, both of these improvements are significant for this community.

    Hello, 

    The Town-to-Lakes trail will connect downtown to uptown with a multi-modal trail along the 160 corridor. There will not be a trail to or through the county subdivision (Alpha).

    Steve Fleming asked over 2 years ago

    Hi Steve, 

    There is not a Mountain Crossing Subdivision project page because there are not any proposed projects on any of those properties. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hello, 

    The 10-foot wide public trail is described in the narrative, but is not shown on the site plan and will remain a required public amenity should this development move forward.  Elements of the plan, like public and private trails, will be included in the PUD agreement that will be attached to the property if the current ownership changes. 

    Thank you.

    BobLecour asked almost 3 years ago

    Hello, 

    Increases on water and sewer facilities are planned for through the respective districts, PAWSD (Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation) and PSSGID (Pagosa Sanitation District) based on water modeling which is currently being reviewed. The developer is responsible to provide for the necessary upgrades to accommodate the new growth. This includes upgrades to delivery lines as well as "capital improvements" such as plant upgrades or storage capacity improvements. These fees may also be referred to as "tap fees". Similarly, existing roadway/highway impacts need to be reviewed by CDOT (Colorado Dept. of Transportation) and are subject to CDOT's design standards for required traffic improvements.
