site on the south and east.

PROPOSAL: The application covered by this Letter of Intent is for a Preliminary Plan consisting

of 234 acres.

THE PLAN: The Retreat @ TimberRidge is a planned residential community focused on the Sand

Creek Greenway which bisects the property. Open space and trails are the centerpiece of the

property. The Retreat @ TimberRidge also forms the transition between urban density

development to the south and east, to rural residential development to the north and west,

and within the project.

Access to the site will be from two locations on Vollmer Road: at Poco Lane and at Arroya Lane.

Arroya Lane is a Public Street for the western portion after which it is on private property

owned by the applicant. Arroya Lane will be dedicated as a Public Street within the Retreat@

TimberRidge property. East of TimberRidge Arroya will continue to be a private road

until/unless additional dedication is made by the Sterling Ranch or others.

Access to the site is planned from Arroya Lane in two locations. Connections to the Sterling

Ranch on the east and south are provided as good subdivision design dictates. The primary and

initial subdivision access will be from Arroya Lane and from Poco Lane extended into the

property.

Residential land use is proposed in varying densities as approved on the PUD Development

Plan. The land north of Arroya Lane, and immediately south of Arroya Lane and west of Sand

Creek will have a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. These lots will all be on individual well and

septic systems (IDS).

South of Arroya Lane and east of Sand Creek, all lots less than 2.5 acres in size will be served by

central water and wastewater systems provided by the proposed TimberRidge Metropolitan

District via an IGA with the Sterling Ranch Metropolitan District. Lots immediately south of and

adjacent to Arroya Lane have a lot size 2.5 acres. These lots create a transition within the

property from rural residential to urban densities farther south. South of these transitional lots

urban density lots are proposed with lot size decreasing from south to north.

Trails are a major component of this plan. A County Regional Trail is planned along the west

side of Sand Creek. An east/west County Regional Trail will be located on the south side of

Arroya Lane. These County trails will be constructed and maintained by El Paso County Parks

after dedication of an easement to the County.

Open space within the PUD Plan includes the Sand Creek Greenway. All open space and park

areas will be owned and maintained by the proposed Timber Ridge Metropolitan District. The

proposed major trails will be placed in easements and will be maintained by El Paso County.

PUD ZONE DISTRICT: The property has been zoned PUD. A PUD Development Plan was

approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 27, 2018.

BUFFERS and TRANSITIONS: The PUD Development Plan provides the buffers and transitions

described below. The relationship to adjacent properties and the transition from nearby rural

residential to urban land use has been addressed by land use density transitions within the

preliminary plan area. Lots that border Vollmer Road and located west of Sand Creek will have

a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. This land use, along with Vollmer Road, creates a transition to

larger lots west of Vollmer Road. Lots backing to Vollmer Road that are not predominantly

vegetated with Ponderosa Pines will have a minimum setback from Vollmer Road of 100 feet.

Lots immediately south of Arroya Lane also have a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres.

Although the land along east and south boundaries abut land currently zoned RR-5, this land is

planned for urban development as evidenced by existing water infrastructure and an approved

Sterling Ranch Sketch Plan. In addition, the owner of Sterling Ranch supports this proposal as

stated in a letter to that effect. The letter also accepts the location of proposed streets in The

Retreat @TimberRidge that stub to Sterling Ranch.

Conformance with the El Paso County Policy Plan

The Retreat @ TimberRidge conforms to the El Paso County Policy Plan as evidenced by the

approval of the PUD Development Plan and zoning..

Conformance with the Black Forest Preservation Plan

The Retreat @ TimberRidge Preliminary Plan conforms to the Black Forest Preservation Plan as

evidenced by findings approving eh PUD zoning and development plan.

Conformance with the TimberRidge PUD Development Plan

The Preliminary Plan is in conformance with the approved TimberRidge PUD

Development Plan.

One deviation has been approved: A deviation to permit access to Arroya Lane for the 10 lots north of Arroya Lane onto Nature Refuge Road at a distance less than 660 feet from the proposed access roads on the south side of Arroya Lane.

DEVIATIONS The following deviations are requested as a part of the Preliminary Plan application. Justification for the deviations is included within the Deviation Request Forms included within the submittal package.

Deviation to permit Nature Refuge Drive to be a gravel road- As Nature Refuge Drive is connecting to a gravel road (Arroya) and has less than 200 trips per day we request that it be allowed to be a gravel road built to county standards. This will remain a gravel road and not be paved. The ten lots in the cul-de-sac for Timber Ridge Estates will not be expanded and will remain 10 lots, once Arroya Lane is paved Nature Refuge Drive will remain gravel.

Deviation to permit delay of 50 foot paved apron on Nature Refuge Way until Arroya Lane is paved. As Nature Refuge Drive is to be a gravel road and will be connecting to Arroya Lane which is currently gravel, we request that it remain gravel until Arroya Lane is paved at which time the HOA for TimberRidge Estates will construct a 50’ paved apron into Nature Refuge Way.

Deviation to permit a cul-de-sac length of greater than ¼ mile for the 10 lots on Nature Refuge Way. As Nature Refuge Way only has 10 lots and the land to the east is not under the ownership control, we request permission to provide a cul-de-sac of 1270 lf that is located 1935 lf from the point where it connects to Arroya Lane to the point where Arroya Lane joins Vollmer Road. This total length is 0.6 miles. This will be temporary until the connection to Arroyo Lane is made to the east and to the south.

Deviation to permit an emergency access as a second access for lots east of Sand Creek Based on the configuration of the property east of Sand Creek and that the adjacent Sterling Ranch property further to the east is not yet developed, there is no ability to provide a secondary access point across Sand Creek except up to Arroya. A temporary emergency only access up to Arroya is being proposed at this time.
