Douglas County approves Castle Pines Village filing 14A final plat and subdivision improvements agreement
Summary
The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners approved a final plat creating 17 single-family lots in Castle Pines Village and a three-party subdivision improvements intergovernmental agreement for infrastructure work.
The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners on Dec. 10, 2024 approved a final plat for Castle Pines Village filing 14A, creating 17 single-family residential lots and a private road, and approved a corresponding subdivision improvements agreement intergovernmental agreement (SIA IGA).
The final plat covers about 7.95 acres in the Castle Pines Village planned development northwest of the intersection of Golden Bear Lane and Country Club Drive. The board also approved a three-party SIA IGA among Castle Pines Summit LLC, the Castle Pines Metropolitan District and Douglas County to complete water, sanitary, roadway and grading improvements associated with the plat.
Trevor Bedford, senior planner with Planning Services, presented the staff analysis, saying the final plat conforms to the preliminary plan the board approved May 14, 2024, and that engineering plans and the subdivision improvements agreement have been reviewed and accepted. Bedford noted referral comments were “standard in nature and have been addressed by the applicant” and that no public comments were received during the referral period.
The applicant, Dan Madison, civil engineer with Manhart Consulting, told the board the development “meets the density requirement” and that the 17 lots are substantially under the maximum density allowed by the plan development. Madison said the project is a continuation of a neighboring filing and that the developer had conducted outreach to adjacent residents; he confirmed the applicant accepts the six conditions of approval.
The board’s approval included six conditions set out in the staff report. Among them: a requirement that the board approve the SIA IGA prior to final plat recordation; an on-site burrowing owl study if earthmoving occurs between March 15 and Oct. 31; measures to watch for and report historic or paleontological resources if discovered; distribution of Colorado Parks and Wildlife literature to prospective homeowners regarding local wildlife; technical corrections to the final plat to the satisfaction of Douglas County prior to recordation; and a condition that all written commitments by the applicant that are part of the public record be satisfied.
The private roadway—proposed as Trinity Peak Point—will be owned by the Castle Pines Homeowners Association and maintained by the Castle Pines Metropolitan District under a separate agreement, staff said. Drainage and utility easements are generally proposed along the roadways; what had been proposed as a 20-foot tract for drainage between lots was revised to a 20-foot drainage easement to be dedicated to the Castle Pines Metro District.
During the meeting the board approved the SIA IGA and then the final plat. There were motions and seconds and recorded unanimous vocal approval on both items.
The applicant and staff said Al Peterson with Public Works engineering was available for technical questions; no public testimony was offered at the hearing.
