Commissioners press developer on water, sewer and roads for Lost Creek plan
Summary
Commissioners pressed Ivory Homes and staff for more details on culinary water rights, sewer siting and traffic mitigation tied to phasing; applicant said studies are underway and indicated improvements would be tied to thresholds rather than built out immediately.
During the Lost Creek Community Zone work session, multiple commissioners raised infrastructure concerns and requested more detailed technical evidence before advancing the code amendment. Commissioners asked whether the applicant had secured water rights and how sewer and wastewater treatment would be sited; the applicant said they have been investigating water sources and believe there are sufficient rights to pursue a change application and that sewer options would require engineering to find a downhill treatment site.
Traffic impacts on Browns Canyon Road and the 248 intersection were a recurring concern. The applicant said its traffic study shows full build-out would likely require widening and additional acceleration/deceleration lanes and that improvements would be phased rather than built all at once. Commissioners asked for thresholds that would trigger road improvements and urged tighter phasing plans tied to infrastructure delivery and public-safety access.
