°ECLAMAT'.~N °LAN <br />GRADING: The final grading of the property is fairly simple to explain. The <br />• area currently is a mesa capped with about 20 to 30 feet of gravel. After removal <br />of the gravel, the top of the mesa will be Lowered an amount approximately equal <br />to the amount of gravel removed. The actual configuration of the land will not <br />change greatly from its present form, although the elevation will be somewhat <br />lower. <br />The western edge of the property merges with property under the ownership of <br />Broderick & Gibbons, a large paving and gravel company in Colorado Springs. It is <br />likely they will be extracting the gravel west of the boundary of this property, <br />but in the event such does not occur, provision has been made in this plan for <br />sloping the west side of the extraction area. <br />Sloping of this area will be created as part of the extraction process. The <br />final slopes along this boundary will be kept to a maximum grade of 3:1, but many <br />of the slopes will be considerably less (4:1 or 5:1). This will provide for a <br />• good blending between this and the adjacent area as well as control of erosion. <br />The eastern edge of the extraction area will continue to have a relatively <br />sharp break between the mesa and the Slopes leading down to the old Fountain Creek <br />floodplain. However, considerable flexibility exists with respect to rounding <br />this break and making it somewhat less sharp than is presently the case. Rounding <br />would be beneficial for future development, but the rounding need not be drastic <br />or too much developable land would be lost on the mesa top. <br />In general, the valleys will remain very much as they are today, with one <br />exception. In areas where the valley has been severely eroded the erosion areas <br />will be filled and repaired through the use of the catchment basins and general <br />grading and backfilling of these areas. <br />• page 3 of 10 Exhibit E <br />
