RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of the Vine Drive realignment Option C as shown in Resolution 99- 129,Attachment 1.

Resolution 99-130 Amending the City's Structure Plan Map and the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan-Framework Plan Map,and Proposed Transportation Plan,and Related Text to Reflect the Changes Made to the City's Master Street Plan Regarding East Vine Drive. At Council's request, staff has prepared four options that amend the City's Master Street Plan by realigning East Vine Drive as an arterial street in the spirit of the "Modified Vine" alignment. The four alignment options considered are shown in Attachment I (see Resolution 99-129). Staff recommends adoption of the Option C -Pifion South alignment. Contingent on adoption of one of the Vine Drive realignment options, staff recommends that the classification of the old alignment of Vine Drive from College Avenue to Redwood Street be changed on the Master Street Plan to Minor Arterial. DATE: October 19, 1999 2 ITEM NUMBER: 32 If the Master Street Plan is amended,changes to other documents are also required. Staff asks that Council fiirther support amendments to the City Structure Plan Map and Mountain Vista Subarea Plan-Framework Plan Map, and Proposed Transportation Plan and related text as required due to changes in the City Master Street Plan. These changes are shown in Resolution 99-130, Exhibits A, B, C and D. BACKGROUND: Over the past two years, staff has conducted an extensive study to examine potential locations for Colorado Highway 14. The Highway 14 Relocation-Northeast Fort Collins Truck Route Project was coordinated with the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan,a plan City Council adopted earlier this year. The joint planning efforts ensured that land use and transportation were considered essential elements of both proposed plans as they were developed. The modified Vine alignment was integrated into the final recommendations of the subarea,but as a result of deferring a decision on March 16, 1999,any reference to the realignment was taken out of the Plan. Future land use and the overall transportation system developed for the northeast quadrant of the City will support this realignment of East Vine Drive. The Modified Vine Alternative Route was recommended for Council's consideration by the Technical Advisory Committee, the Citizen Advisory Committee, the Transportation Board, the Planning and Zoning Board, City staff, and the consulting team. However, City Council declined to approve East Vine Drive as a future site for Colorado Highway 14,but has expressed an interest in altering the alignment of East Vine Drive. At the August 3rd City Council meeting, staff was asked to bring back an amendment to the City's Master Street Plan modifying the current alignment of East Vine Drive to approximate the alignment used during the Highway 14 Relocation - Northeast Fort Collins Truck Route Project. Staff informed Council that further study would be necessary to establish the future alignment of East Vine Drive as an arterial street rather than the relocation of Colorado Highway 14. Staff agreed to provide an update to the planning process within thirty days and a recommendation at the October 19th regular Council meeting. Staff recommends Option C-Piiion South as the preferred realignment of Vine Drive as an arterial roadway. This rationale for this recommendation is: • Relatively straight alignment; more gridlike and direct • Good intersection alignment with Lemay Avenue; 90 degree intersection is safest • Generally follows property lines • Allows for developable parcels on either side; doesn't render parcels undevelopable Staff tookpublic comment regarding the potential arterial alignments at a September 13, 1999 public meeting. Staff recommendations were presented to the Transportation Board at its September 15, 1999 meeting. The Transportation Board unanimously (8-0) recommended approval of the staff recommendations. Staff recommendations were presented to the Planning and Zoning Board at its September 16, 1999 meeting. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously(4-0)agreed that none DATE: October 19, 1999 3 ITEM NUMBER: 32 of the proposed alignments were preferable to Vine Drive in its current alignment as shown in the Master Street Plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Current Alignment The cost of the improvements required to build Vine Drive as an arterial street as currently designated in the Master Street Plan is projected to be$42.7 million. Of that amount,the City can reasonably expect to receive $19.8 million from the Street Oversizing Fund and $5.1 million in Local Street Portion contributions by development($24.9 million total). The remainder, or$17.8 million, would be the responsibility of the City. Option A - East Vine Drive - (Coniferl The cost of the improvements required to build an arterial street as Option A on the East Vine Drive -Conifer alignment is projected to be$45.4 million. Of that amount,the City can reasonably expect to receive $19.8 million from the Street Oversizing Fund and $5.1 million in Local Street Portion contributions by development($24.9 million total). The remainder,or$20.5 million,would be the responsibility of the City. Option B - East Vine Drive - (Pinon North) The cost of the improvements required to build an arterial street as Option B on the East Vine Drive- Pinon North alignment is projected to be $45 million. Of that amount, the City can reasonably expect to receive $19.8 million from the Street Oversizing Fund and $5.1 million in Local Street Portion contributions by development on the north side of the street ($24.9 million total). The remainder, or $20.1 million,would be the responsibility of the City. Option C - East Vine Drive - (Pinon South) The cost of the improvements required to build an arterial street as Option C on the East Vine Drive- Pinon South alignment is projected to be $44.8 million. Of that amount, the City can reasonably expect to receive $19.8 million from the Street Oversizing Fund and $5.1 million in Local Street Portion contributions by development on the north side of the street ($24.9 million total). The remainder, or $19.9 million, would be the responsibility of the City. Option D - East Vine Drive - (Pinon Central) The cost of the improvements required to build an arterial street as Option D on the East Vine Drive - Pinon Central alignment is projected to be $45 million.
