Chapter IV - Section 38
Maintenance Plan


A.   In areas where other than County maintenance is proposed for roads, common areas, recreational areas, or facilities, open space, bikeways, trails, paths, malls, parking areas, or public sanitation facilities, the petitioner shall submit for review and approval a maintenance plan for such facilities prior to issuance of a building permit. In cases in which a submittal conforming to the standards for final plats 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 a 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 Development Services 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.

      c.   Date of implementation of the provision of B.(3.)(a.), of this section. Appropriate recording of such documents and agreements as may be required shall be a condition of any plan approval.

      d.   Cost of capital construction for proposed facilities, cost of maintenance of such facilities per year, amount proposed to be assessed to meet such expenses.

      e.   Proposed administrative mechanism to assure that maintenance is carried out as planned.

      f.   Suitable collateral to ensure that in case of discontinuance of control and maintenance, El Paso County may assume such duties as may be appropriate without additional cost to the taxpayer. Collateral shall include lien, letter of credit, bond, or such method as approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

      g.   Evidence that all required approvals have been granted in accordance with County Regulations.
