6 <br />A B C D E F <br />Commenter Name <br />Comment <br />Date Public Comment Excerpt / Summary <br /> Specific DA / <br />Condition # <br />Comment Topic <br />Area Applicant Response <br />56 <br />57 <br />58 <br />59 <br />60 <br />61 <br />62 <br />63 <br />64 <br />65 <br />66 <br />Ed Marshall January 26, 2026 <br />As a homeowner at Suncadia, I believe the proposed extension should be denied unless and until the <br />developer demonstrates full compliance with the existing Development Agreement. <br />Unresolved obligations should not be carried forward through an extension. Doing so places the <br />burden on residents and the County. <br />I ask the County to require a documented compliance review identifying unmet obligations and <br />ensuring they are resolved prior to any extension decision. <br />Accountability is fundamental to responsible development <br />DA Recitals D thru I; DA <br />Section 4.2 Timing of <br />Construction and <br />Completion. <br />No Specific Conditions <br />Stated <br />Compliance / <br />Accountability <br />The Applicant acknowledges the request for a documented compliance review. The Development Agreement has been <br />administered through ongoing County oversight, and obligations have been addressed through applicable approvals. The <br />proposed extension does not excuse unfinished obligations. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />One of the biggest threats to the success and future of the MPR relates to water rights. We believe <br />in the future, absent a change in the permitted number of units, there is build significant potential for <br />the MPR to have insufficient water rights available to serve all residents <br />A-2 (land use), B-18 <br />(water supply), B-20 <br />(water rights) Water Rights Please refer to the separate letter regarding water rights: "2026-0130 Suncadia response letter water rights" <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />B-17, B-18, and B-19: Water Supply (previously discussed). These sections are of vital importance and <br />given the previous discussion should be carefully examined <br />B-17, B-18, B-19 (water <br />supply) Water Rights Please refer to the separate letter regarding water rights <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />B-43(a): During development of the last three plats, several of the developer’s construction vehicles <br />did not have the required operable fire extinguisher on board. The developer was notified and stated <br />an exception had been granted by the County Fire Marshal; however, the DA specifies three <br />individual entities must examine the request, not just the Fire Marshal B-43 (air quality) DA Conditions The applicant will ensure compliance during future plats and developments. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />B-44: During the development of every plat since 2019, we have consistently observed trucks <br />transporting dusty materials without covered loads. While the developer may require, via contract or <br />other means, these truck drivers to cover their loads, there appears to be no enforcement B-44 (covered loads) DA Conditions <br />The applicant includes this condition as part of contracting and works to enforce. This is an ongoing commitment that the <br />applicant works to meet. Based on the commenter providing previous comment to the county on this topic, the Applicant set <br />up a complaint email for owners to submit complaints regarding this topic (or others). No complaints have been received. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-12: Requires the County Public Works Director to review the MPR road system (and restrictive <br />gates) in conjunction with subdivision application. We believe a threshold or timeline should be <br />considered for removing the restrictive gate at Firehouse Road with an eye toward public safety. C-12 (transportation) DA Conditions <br />The Firehouse Road gate is not an official entrance to Suncadia as allowed under the DA and as such, is gated. As discussed <br />with the County, the gate can be opened for emergency egress should such emergency arise. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-16(e): As the development nears conclusion, it would be helpful for the developer to address the <br />damage caused by the construction vehicles inside the MPR per this section such that they can plan <br />to repair them (Suncadia Trail, Swiftwater Drive) C-16 (e) (transportation) DA Conditions <br />Arterial roads within the MPR have worn over time due to many factors. Suncadia Trail and Swiftwater Drive are owned and <br />maintained by the Suncadia Community Council and that entity has reserve funds to repair these roads at the appropriate <br />time. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-17: The 2025 Traffic Monitoring Reports contains several inconsistencies. Page 13 states “roadway <br />segments operate at LOS C or better in 2025” however the referenced chart clearly shows one road <br />segment operating at LOS “D”. To be fair, the same paragraph also states “These calculations include <br />some directions operating worse than LOS C”. More importantly, the entire report fails to address all <br />items in section (h) of C-17. Taken together, these issues suggest the Traffic Monitoring Report would <br />benefit from some refinement C-17 (transportation) DA Conditions The applicant completes yearly traffic monitoring and shares the data with the County. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-30: To measure the effect of the MPR on public services, has the developer filed the proper reports <br />within the last five years as required in this section? C-30 (public services) DA Conditions Yes, all required reports have been submitted. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-31: There does not appear to be a security force operating at the MPR. While a company provides <br />monitoring services, this does not appear to meet the DA’s requirement for “security.” C-31 (law enforcement) DA Conditions Suncadia has hired Allied Security to fulfill security patrol within the MPR. <br />Ira Astrachan / Community follow <br />up comments January 26, 2026 <br />C-48 / C-51: The requirement for a “solid waste management plan” includes establishing recycling <br />facilities. With the exception of cardboard, there is no recycling facility in the MPR. C-48, C-51 (utilities) DA Conditions <br />The applicant worked with Waste Management over the past 2 years to bring residential recycling to the MPR and that <br />recycling is now in place. Waste Management is unable to support commercial recycling.
