17.126.080 Maintenance Plan.

     In cases in which maintenance of roads, common areas, open space, or facilities normally maintained by public entities are proposed to be maintained by homeowners associations, or other non-governmental bodies, the applicant shall submit a maintenance plan conforming to the requirements of this Subsection.  A maintenance statement addressing ownership and maintenance shall be submitted with the rezoning request.  The maintenance plan shall be submitted concurrently with the Final Development Plan and recorded prior to or in conjunction with the Final Development Plan.  Failure to maintain areas that are not maintained by public entities in a reasonable order and condition in accordance with the approved Planned Unit Development may result in Pueblo County, at its own discretion, correcting the deficiencies as provided in C.R.S. 24-67-105(6) c. and d.
     A.   Where non-County maintenance is proposed for roads, common areas, recreational areas, facilities, open space, bikeways, trails, paths, malls, parking areas, or other public sanitation facilities, the applicant shall submit for review and approval a maintenance plan for such facilities prior to the issuance of a building permit.  In cases in which a submittal conforming to the standards for final plats contained in Title 17 of the Pueblo County Code is required, the maintenance plan shall be submitted at final plat stage.  In cases in which only a plot plan is required the maintenance plan shall be submitted at the plot plan stage.
     1.  For proposals, which contemplate use of common sewerage or water system by two or more dwelling units or uses, a maintenance plan may be required if, in the opinion of the Planning Director, such a plan is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
     B.  The maintenance plan shall include:
     1.    Identification of present and proposed ownership for the facilities or areas included within the maintenance plan.  In the case of condominiums, townhouses, or other multiple dwelling units, the method of conveying title and the estate to be granted shall be noted;
     2.   A Title opinion dated no less than thirty (30) days prior to the submittal date;
     3.   A service plan to include:

     e.  Proposed administration mechanism to assure that maintenance is carried out as planned.  Suitable collateral to ensure that in case of discontinuance of control and maintenance, Pueblo County may, but shall not be required to, assume such duties as may be appropriate without additional cost to the taxpayer.  Collateral shall be limited to a letter of credit, or such other method of ensuring and guaranteeing such maintenance as may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners;
     f.  Evidence that all required approvals have been granted in accordance with Pueblo County land use regulations.
