The number of paper copies, as well as electronic submittal requirements for application submittal documents, shall be determined by the Director of the Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development.  The Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development's formal application form shall specify the number of paper copies and electronic submittal requirements for application submittal documents.  

     A. An application for approval of a preliminary plan;

     B. The name of the subdivision;

     C. The name and address of the owner(s) and subdivider(s) and name of the designer of the preliminary plan. The name and address of the owner(s) of subsurface mineral interests and the name and address of the lessee(s) of any such subsurface mineral interest, if any, shall be included;

     D. If the proposed subdivision is to include more than twenty (20) lots, proof of a developer’s license held by the subdivider;

     E. The legal description of the area to be subdivided and its acreage;

     F. A map of the proposed subdivision except in cases where due to certain characteristics of the proposal, the Board or the Planning Commission decrees that additional copies are necessary for adequate referral and review. Such maps shall show the following:

     1. A location and vicinity map, drawn at an appropriate scale, showing the following:

     a. Related existing and planned streets and highway systems,

     b. Zoning districts, taxing districts, and other special districts, if any,

     c. Significant vegetation patterns,

     2. A map or maps, drawn at an appropriate scale, showing:

     a. Perimeter outline of the plan, accesses, abutting subdivision outlines and names, and other relevant information within a one-half (1/2) mile distance of the perimeter of the proposed plat,

     b. Abutting property lines,

     3. A traverse map, drawn at an appropriate scale, of the monumented perimeter of the proposed subdivision. The traverse shall have an error of closure of not greater than one (1) part in ten thousand (10,000). A survey tie into the State grid or other permanent marker established by the County Surveyor is required if practical. Monuments shall conform to the requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes 136-1-1 et seq.,

     4. A map or maps showing the following at the scale of one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100'):

     a. Lot and street layout including:

         i. Dimensions of all lots to the nearest foot (which may be scaled values),

         ii. Lots and blocks numbered consecutively,

         iii. Location and identification of all existing and proposed public and private easements,

         iv. Existing and proposed street names,

         v. Sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, schools or other public uses,

         vi. Sites, if any, for multi-family dwellings, shopping centers, community facilities, industry, or other uses, exclusive of single-family dwellings,

         vii. Location of common open space not reserved or dedicated to public,

         viii. The area, to the nearest-half (1/2) acre and percent of the total area of the subdivision devoted to streets and to each other type of use,

     b. Existing buildings, other easements, telephone lines, gas lines, power lines and other features located on the subdivision and within two hundred (200) feet of its boundaries,

     c. A composite utilities easement plan showing location, size, and proposed use of all easements. (Subsequently, all utilities must be constructed within approved easements,)

     5. A map or maps showing the following at the scale of one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100').

     a. Lot and street layout as in subdivision (4)(a) of this subsection,

     b. Soil types and their boundaries based on the National Cooperative Soil Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, and a table of interpretations for the soil types shown on the soil map,

     c. Significant geologic features,

     d. General location in the subdivision area of trees over six (6) inches in diameter, measured at six (6) feet above the ground. In cases of heavily wooded areas, indicate the outline of wooded area and location of trees which are to remain. It is the intent of the requirement to determine the approximate location of trees for design evaluation rather than to require unnecessary surveying of the exact tree location,

     6. A map or maps showing the following at the scale of one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100'):

     a. Lot and street layout as in subdivision (4)(a) of this subsection,

     b. The existing contours at two (2) foot intervals for predominant ground slopes within the tract between level and five (5) percent grade and five (5) foot contours for predominant ground slopes within the tract over five (5) percent grade. Elevations shall be based on National Geodetic Survey sea level data. In cases of predominately level topography throughout a subdivision, one (1) foot interval contours are required,

     c. A generalized grading plan identifying areas of cut and fill and street gradients. Intended contours shall be shown as solid lines at the same interval as required for existing contours, which shall be shown as dashed lines,

     d. The approximate boundaries of areas subject to inundation or stormwater overflows of an intensity estimated to occur with a return frequency of once every one hundred (100) years,

     e. Water courses and proposed storm water drainage systems including culverts, water areas, streams, areas subject to occasional flooding, marshy areas and swamps. The drainage system shall be documented by an accompanying Preliminary Drainage Report developed in accordance with the General Engineering Specifications for Drainage as set forth in Section 16.76.010 of these regulations. (Note: Detail design of drainage structures not required for preliminary report;)

     G. Provide a digital file of the project in .DWG format;

     H. The Planning Commission shall determine from a review of the preliminary plan whether the soil slope, vegetation and drainage characteristics of the site are such as to require substantial cutting, clearing, grading and other earth moving operations in the construction of the subdivision or otherwise entail an erosion hazard, and if so, the Commission shall require the subdivider to provide soil erosion and sedimentation control plans and specifications. Such control plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered professional engineer, or the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, using the County conservation standards or the soil and water conservation plan.

     In the event that soil erosion and sediment control plans are required, the preliminary plan submission shall not be considered complete until such plans have been submitted to the Board, or its designated agent, who shall furnish the subdivider with a receipt and transmit the plans to the Planning Commission for review of the preliminary plan.
