On March 12, the Monument Planning Commission discussed the Promontory Pointe water tank project, which includes a $7 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant for a new 1.5-million-gallon tank. The project requires rezoning 1.1 acres from the current Planned Unit Development (PUD) to final plat approval, and a major amendment to the Sanctuary Pointe PUD plan. The expanded site will include a concrete containment wall and screen wall. Landscaping and Americans with Disabilities Act plans were also discussed.
The project team, including NES Inc. and the Triview Metropolitan District, emphasized the need for additional water storage to meet growing demand. Public comment for this project was addressed regarding the new tank, which will be the same height as the old tank with only minor visibility changes, if any, for neighboring properties. The Planning Commission voted to approve this project for recommendation to the Town Council.
The meeting also highlighted community engagement efforts and the importance of public input in the planning process for Monument 2040, for which there is a web page and input availability for local residents.
This planning process is referenced on the Town of Monument website: “On January 6, 2025, the Monument Town Council launched the Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update, enlisting the planning and design firm, The Lakota Group, to lead the community through the planning process. The comprehensive plan will serve as a long-term blueprint, guiding the community’s growth over the next 10-15 years and addressing critical areas such as housing, economic development, stormwater management, parks, and a special focus on the downtown area.”
The community is invited to share thoughts with the town via the online website, and representatives will be present at events such as the weekly farmers market and the Fourth of July Parade. Residents also can visit the website, www.Monument2040.com.
