Project Description: The El Paso County Department of Public Works requests approval of the acquisition of a Permanent Easement (PE-123) and Temporary Easements (TE-123) (collectively “the Parcels”) from Spencer Family Partnership LLLP (Parcel 123) necessary for the construction of the Beacon Lite Road Project. These parcels are located in unincorporated El Paso County near Monument. The final settlement is $150,00.00.
The Project appraisal recommended a value of $106,000.00 for parcel 123 and offer to acquire the Parcel referenced above was presented on July 15th, 2024. An independent appraisal by the owner recommended a value of $171,800.00 Negotiations were made between the County and the owner’s representative to purchase the Parcel, and negotiations led to an administrative settlement of $44,000.00 for a combined total of $150,000.00. The purchase is reasonable, prudent, and in the public interest.
The Beacon Lite Road Project extends from the I25 west off-ramp to Indi Drive and Beacon Lite Road from the intersection of County Line Road to Wakonda Way. The Project generally includes paving, regrading, realigning, and associated drainage improvements. The drainage improvements include two detention ponds, curb and gutter, and a storm sewer system. Two retaining walls will be necessary to correct the vertical sight distance deficiencies.
Acquisition of this property will accommodate the proposed realignment of Beacon Lite Road to meet engineering standards. Funds for this project will come from the PPRTA Capital Funds Account 06.20.5060001 for El Paso County
