"The fact that we now have homes coming on to our dirt road will significantly impact the amount of traffic that we experience," said neighbor Tyler Christian. Originally, primary access to the development would be via the widening of Vollmer Road from two to four lanes as well as the extension of Briargate Parkway, a four-lane, east-west artery generally connecting the Briargate area to Falcon to relieve stress on Woodmen Road, with no access onto Poco Road to maintain its rural integrity.īut because the revised plan features the new rural 2.5-acre lots, those homes are set to have their own access to Poco Road rather than enter through the rest of the subdivision, Barlow said. Courtesy of El Paso CountyĪccording to county project manager Kari Parsons, the preliminary sketch approval phase does not require developers to show sufficient water supply. The Jaynes Property sketch plan approved for recommendation by the Planning Commission now features 2.5-acre lots, up from 1-acre lots, as a more fluid density transition with surrounding rural lots. Water supply to the inner homes would be provided by the Falcon Area Water and Wastewater Authority, while the 2.5-acre lots would draw from individual wells, Barlow said. Internal density within the Jaynes property has been increased from 12 units to 15 units per acre to accommodate the transition, said Andrea Barlow of N.E.S. The new plan also features 0.7-acre lots instead of half-acre lots across from the 2.5-acre lots to the west. Instead of 1-acre lots proposed in February across from 5-acre lots on Poco Road to the north, the revised sketch now proposes 2.5-acre lots, or the addition of five homes along the road. "Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where expectations are very, very difficult to manage at this stage of the process." before I'm going to necessarily look at the neighboring property rights," said commission member Joshua Patterson. That request proved successful Thursday with Planning Commission members voting 8-1 for recommendation, citing their obligation to uphold property owner rights and what they believe was the developer’s "generous effort" to accommodate resident feedback. The plan then went to the Board of County Commissioners on March 23, when commissioners granted Classic Homes CEO Doug Stimple’s request for a two-week extension to revise the sketch and resubmit it to the Planning Commission in hopes of an approval recommendation.
