El Dorado Preserve Lot 5 Setting:
This dynamic lot has varying features including spectacular 360-degree views, rock outcroppings, heavy trees and some
limited equestrian areas. It has mountainous topography and a panoramic building location with expansive views of
downtown, Pikes Peak and the Front Range. The lot is bordered on the south by 35-acre lots.
Development Envelope Guidelines:
Due to its prominent hilltop location, the development envelope and buildings should be situated to minimize any visual and
audio impacts to Lot 3, Lot 4, Lot 6 and to the Saylor homestead to the southwest. The development envelope should be
located on the hilltop in the center of the lot to accomplish these goals. A 100-foot development envelope set back from the
south property line has been established. Special care siting the driveway should be used to be compatible with the
driveway entries for Lot 6, Lot 7 and Lot 8, which will utilize a common cul-de-sac. Planned nature trails along the southern
property line and the lower portion of the lot should be considered in the site design. Thinning of vegetation to enhance
downtown views is allowed but not if it would diminish the above goals. Planting of additional vegetation to screen the Lot 6
and the Saylor homestead may be required.
