RE: Bridgefield / Traffic Study
Dear Mr. Prouty:
Merrick and Company is pleased to provide you with this Traffic Impact Analysis for the
proposed Lagunitas Company residential development south of Prospect Street at the
intersection with Bryan Avenue.
Based on the City of Fort Collins Traffic Impact Analysis guidelines and with
discussions with Eric Bracke and Tom Vossberg in Transportation Services, the impact
analysis has been conducted and includes the following elements and attachments:
1. Project data: See attachment A regarding the discussion of the proposed
type of development, a project vicinity map, project description and a site plan that
shows the proposed land uses.
2. Base Traffic: See attachment B regarding daily and peak hour trip
generation, a study area map showing the existing street system and traffic control,
existing and projected traffic volumes and level of service. This analysis focuses on
the intersections of Prospect Street at Bryan Avenue and Shields Street including
peak hour traffic counts, level of service analysis both for existing and for existing plus
project and 2010 conditions.
3. Project Traffic Analysis: Attachment C analyzes the existing and future
transportation system including street system operations and traffic control devices.
If you have any questions or need any further services in regard to your project, do not
hesitate to contact rne.'

Dear Mr. Herzig and Board Members:
This is a request for two additional variances for residential streets for the Bridgefield
project which is located south of the intersection of West Prospect and Bryan Streets.
1 . A variance for two short Local Access Streets (Brynn Court and Marmot Way)
whereby egress loop will be permitted by means of connection to private driveway
lane provided a) a public easement shall be granted for such use, b) all maintenance
of private driveway lane shall be responsibility of Bridgefield HOA, and c) visual
differentiation in paving shall be provided at connection point between the Public
Street and the private drive. The justification for this is the low amount of traffic
which will occur and will require turn -around for this street. Fire department access
requirements are met because the private drives are radiused where they intersect
with public streets to permit fire equipment access and furthermore this Local Access
Street is less than 150 feet long.
2. A variance for a short Local Access Street (Daemian Drive) with only three houses
whereby turn -around will be by means of a small hammerhead configuration at the
end of street. The justification for this is the low amount of traffic which will occur
and will require turn -around for this street. Fire department access requirements are
met because this Local Access Street is less than 150 feet long.

Fax 303/482-9382
We request that these variances be granted by reason of conditions peculiar to the
site, namely the existing constraints caused by this in -fill site with a) a ditch and
existing development on the east side, b) a ditch, a lake and storm drainage / natural
area on the south side and c) a ditch and existing development on the west side.
Accordingly, there is no other way to lay out a project of this nature except in a
looped right-of-way configuration with houses accessed off loop in a fashion similar
to what we have shown. Furthermore, this plan is equal or better than a plan without
this variance would be because this permits this innovative plan of smaller single-
family houses however with character, quality, down -scaled right-of-way feel and
excellent public -private, landscape - streetscape frontage. This variance is required
by the pre-existing constraints of the project as described above. Granting this
variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare and in fact will
result in a project that is equal or better than it otherwise would be.
If you have any questions regarding the variance requests, please call.
Yours truly,

RE: Bridgefield
1. It is very important to me that we complete Bridgefield final approval
this month as we have delayed it twice and as my contractual obligations
with the Seller require this. Thank you for your assistance in this regard.
2. Following up my meeting with Mike Herzig, I have proceeded to modify
the site plan, the landscape plan and the utility plans as follows:
A. Add two parking spaces on Bridgefield Drive bringing the total
number of parking spaces on Bridgefield Drive to six. This represents a
good balance of the planning and engineering considerations: adequate
parking / self -enforcing parking / as much landscaping as possible.
B. 27' roadway (in addition to 7' parking - landscape offsets) in
front of lots I - 4 and in front of lots 34 - 36. This will give seven
additional feet of public roadway for residents to use when backing out of
their garages and will limit impact which these vehicles have on traffic
flow.
C. I am very agreeable to your suggestion that the three short
streets (Marmot Way, Brynn Court and Daemian Drive) be made public
streets rather than private streets. 1 think this will make for a better
project and more satisfied residents to have all residences fronting on
public streets.
D. Keep the private drive radiuses we have at Lots 40 - 63, Lots 45
- 51, and Lots 25 - 26 because these assist the fire truck in gaining
access to these streets should the need arise. I have touched base with
Mike Pretz and he feels that fire requirements are satisfactory for the
street layout we have proposed which is mostly identical from a fire
safety standpoint to the street layout which we used at preliminary.
APR-11-95 TUE 13:10

L. Outside corner radiuses have been changed to 20' at Lots 5, 111 17
and 63.
F. The inside corner radius opposite Lot 21 will be made as large as
site permits.
3. As per Steve Olt's request, Raccoon Circle will be designated in
multiple places to make this circle street more clear. Also, the 63 lots
now being requested at final is consistent with the 63 lots approved at
preliminary.
I think this is a great plan which creates a small relatively high density
neighborhood and community which will be very livable notwithstanding
its density and allows many lots to participate in open space as de facto
front yards (the periphery lots), almost all logs to have some mountain
view or view corridor and all lots to have immediate open space
proximity.
Thanks for your assistance In helping this project come to fruition.

MEMORANDUM
April 20, 1995
Steve Olt, City Planner
Mike Herzig, Development Engineering Manager
Bridgefield P.U.D.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the developer's additional
variance requests and other unique features for this proposed
development related to the proposed public streets. We believe the
approved features, when designed and shown on the plans, will be
okay for the City acceptance of certain streets as public streets
for the City to maintain. The following is a summary of the
requested variances and the conditions for their approval.
1. Request for three streets (Daemian Way, BrynnCourt and
Marmot Way) to deadend in non-standard methods.
The developer requested the use of a "hammer head" turn
around at the end of the deadend streets instead of a
standard cul-de-sac. Mike Pretz, the Fire Marshall, has
stated that the Poudre Fire Authority will not fight
fires in these deadend streets. Therefore, the standard
cul-de-sac is not needed for their purposes. For public
turn around purposes, we have agreed to allow the hammer
head only because of the unique design of this
development. This type of turn around was approved for
Ind_Lan Hills P.U.D. as an experiment. This is extending
that experiment. This approval in no way indicates we
will approve this type of design again. We need to see
results from these experimental approvals.
2. Several garage entrances were proposed to front on public
streets with setbacks 3 feet from the back of curb.
The proposed design was a problem for drivers backing a
vehicle out of the garages, not having visibility backing
into the public street. We agreed to a proposal to widen
the 20 foot wide drive area to 27 feet along the areas of
garage frontage and increasing the setback to 5 feet. I
cannot say this is a good design, but we will try it.
Our preference would have been to have the garages set
G�llege .kvenue • ['.O. Box 80 • Fort Collins, CO 8052121-0;K • ',03) 221-bh05
back 20 feet and leaving the street narrow at 20 feet.
3. Add parking spaces to Bridgefield Drive
We are requiring that five parking bays be added to
Bridgefield Drive to present a street that shows users
where parking is allowed. The developer's design was
just a 20 foot wide street with two parking bays over a
three block length. To allow a street this narrow,
additional bays must be provided in order to have a
street where drivers have a clear picture of where it is
acceptable to park and not park in the 20 foot wide drive
isle.
4. The developer has proposed that Racoon Circle be
designated a Oneway street.
It is our opinion that not enough traffic will use the
street to justify a Oneway street. With too little
traffic the Oneway will not be self enforcing. It will
be too easy for users to violate the Oneway control.
Also, it will be too inconvenient for some users to
follow the Oneway restriction. The decision to use a
Onewway or not should be left to the Transportation
Department to determine.
The Board may want to add conditions to support these items.

RE: Bridgefield P.U.D.
Gentlemen: -
Having received Administrative Change approval for lots 11 & 12 of the
referenced project, we are requesting Vacation of Easements on the west side
of these two lots.
The proposed dwelling for Lot 11 encroaches on the existing easement
which requires vacating 3'-0" of the West side of the lot. The proposed structure
for Lot 12 requires 2'-0" of easement be vacated on the West side of the lot.
Please see attached site drawings.
The purpose of this request is to maintain density requirements for this
Planned Unit Development.

RE: Vacation of Easements on Lots 11 and 12
Dear Mr. Bush,
Your request for vacation of a portion of the Drainage and Utility Easement on Lots 11 and 12 of
the Bridgefield PUD has been reviewed and has been denied at this time. The following
departments had problems/concerns with this proposed vacation: Public Service Company, Light
and Power Department, Water and Wastewater Department, and the Stormwater Department.
There comments are attached along with comment from TCI (cable company) who indicated there
were no problems with the proposal. No response was received from US West and therefore it is
assumed that they had no problems with the proposed vacation.
The easement request will not be processed further unless written response is received from those
departments indicating problems stating that all there concerns have been addressed and they have
no problem with the easement being vacated. It is your responsibility to work out these problems
with the various departments.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please call Sheri Wamhoff at 221-6750.

Dear Mike:
This is a request for variances for residential streets in the proposed Bridgefield project
located south of West Prospect Road and South Bryan Avenue.
The variances are as follows:
1. A variance of the width of a Local Street ROW from 54 feet to 43 feet,Table 1, Page
T-1. The parking would be reduced from 8 feet to 7 feet, the sidewalks would be 4 feet
wide, and the driving lanes would remain 10 feet wide. The 7 foot wide parking area
will be delineated by being concrete, with the two 10 foot wide driving lanes being
asphalt. There should not be problems in handling the traffic since the driving lanes
remain 10 feet wide. The standard cannot be met with the garages in the rear of the lot
which is desirable in order to not have the streetscape be all garage doors but rather
permit the attractive house frontages and public - private, landscape - right-of-way
areas as we have designed. We request that this variance be granted by reason of
conditions peculiar to the site, namely the existing constraints including a) a single
access from West Prospect Road at the north, b) an outlot (adjacent single family
residence) at the northeast corner which must be respected, and c) a ditch (Larimer
Canal #2) which bisects the property east - west creating an approximate eight -sided
parcel north of the ditch and an approximate triangular shape parcel at the south of the
ditch. Because of the existing constraints, there is no other way to lay out a project of
this nature except in a looped right-of-way configuration with houses accessed off loop
in a fashion similar to what we havq shown. Furthermore, this plan is equal or better
than a plan without this variance would be because this permits this innovative plan of
smaller single-family houses however with character, quality, down -scaled right-of-
way feel and excellent public - private, landscape - streetscape frontage.

Bridgefield PUD, Phase I and II - Final
Section 504 of the 1991 edition of the Uniform Building Code as
adopted by the City of Fort Collins requires that exterior walls of
one- and two-family dwellings located closer than 3 feet from a
property line be of one -hour fire -resistive construction. No
openings are allowed in such exterior walls. A parapet extending
30-inches above the roof surface is required unless the structure
complies with the exceptions to Section 1710. Projections, such as
cornices, eave overhangs or exterior balconies shall not extend
over the property line and must comply with UBC Sections 1711 and
504.

Building Inspection/221-6760
2. A variance of the width of Access Street ROW from 54 feet to 34 feet and the flow
line to flow line widish from 36 feet to 29 feet, Table 1, Page T-1. The A.D.T. for each
street where this section is proposed is 600. The street would have parking on one
side only, and no parking signs will be provided by the developer. The parking would
be reduced from 8 feet to 7 feet, the sidewalks would be 4 feet wide, and the driving
lanes would remain 10 feet wide. The 7 foot wide parking area will be delineated by
being concrete, with the two 10 foot wide driving lanes being asphalt. There should
not be problems in handling the traffic since the driving lanes remain 10 feet wide.
The standard cannot be met with the garages in the rear of the lot which is desirable in
order to not have the streetscape be all garage doors but rather permit the attractive
house frontages and public - private, landscape - right-of-way areas as we have
designed. We request that this variance be granted by reason of conditions peculiar to
the site, namely the existing constraints including a) a single access from West
Prospect Road at the north, b) an outlot (adjacent single family residence) at the
northeast corner which must be respected, and c) a ditch (Larimer Canal #2) which
bisects the property east - west creating an approximate eight -sided parcel north of the
ditch and an approximate triangular shape parcel at the south of the ditch. Because of
the existing constraints, there is no other way to lay out a project of this nature except
in a looped right-of-way configuration with houses accessed off loop in a fashion
similar to what we have shown. Furthermore, this plan is equal or better than a plan
without this variance would be because this permits this innovative plan of smaller
single-family houses however with character, quality, down -scaled right-of-way feel
and excellent public -private, landscape - streetscape frontage.
3. A variance of Access Streets whereby egress loops will be permitted by means of
connection to private driveway lane provided a) a public easement shall be granted for
such use, b) all maintenance of private driveway lane shall be responsibility of
Bridgefield HOA, and c) visual differentiation in paving shall be provided at connection
point between the Public Street and the private drive. The justification for this is the
low amount of traffic which will occur and will require turn -around for this street. This
variance is required by the preexisting constraints of the project as described above.
Granting this variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare and
in fact will result in a project that is equal or better than it otherwise would be.
If you have any questions regarding the variance requests, please call.

RE: Work Session / Bridgefield / Minutes
1 _ Jon Prouty outlined project goals including a) density of eight per acre, b)
affordable housing, c) aesthetic housing, d) environmentally sensitive housing, e)
maximize usable yard space, and f) minimize roads without compromising public
needs for safety, access and convenience.
2. Steve Olt summarized overview concerns as: a) pedestrian and vehicles within the
same twenty feet of perimeter street, and b) pedestrian walk on opposite side from
houses (in perimeter street).
3. Tom Vossburg indicated in general that City staff people are very interested in neo-
traditional concepts in community planning, however, any such new ideas, concepts,
projects must be well thought out and must work well or they might be detrimental and
diminish City enthusiasm for additional innovation.
4. Mike Herzig indicated that he would like to see how the project innovations and
variances granted in the Indian Hills Village project work before expanding them
further.
5. Rita Davis indicated the concerns that:
a) Why our houses face outward toward natural space instead of inward as
neo-traditional planning considerations would suggest? Jon responded that the
reasoning was aesthetics, environmental sensitivity and most importantly, maximizing
effective size and utility of front yard space.
b) Sidewalks should be adjacent to house to maximize ease of access from
vehicles to house, ADA compliance, and to avoid shared vehicle - pedestrian road.
c) Shared vehicle - pedestrian roadways are contrary to conventional wisdom
that this presents risk of injury to pedestrian. It would be valuable to find some
examples of where this has been done successfully_
6. Mike Herzig indicated that codes have traditionally discouraged people from being
in streets for safety reasons.
Lagunitao Company V 303 226 6125 ft10124/94 03128 PM p213
7_ Steve Olt raised the question of the absolute need for the perimeter street. He
raised the very innovative idea of keeping the fronts of houses facing out toward the
natural area and having all roadway access from the interior. This would require all
garage access, quest access and street parking to occur at the interior (garage end of
house), and furthermore would require a pathway from the rear of house around to the
front of house to gain access. In other words, access to the front of house would be by
pedestrians only. This concept presents some marketing and design challenges.
8. Tom Vossburg commented on the importance for some residents of garage for
storage purpose; and in such case, a need for additional on -site parking. Jon Prouty
indicated that most houses would have full basements providing plenty of storage and
in some cases, houses would have storage configured above garage.
9. Tom Vossburg indicated the desirability of studying similar patio home
neighborhoods in Fort Collins and evaluating adequacy of on -street parking, street
width, road adequacy, parking space width, etc. related to such projects. Steve Olt
indicated he would identify several to look at. Indian Hills West was suggested as one
example. Jon Prouty suggested that we could contact John Hinkelman from Boulder
Public Works Department as he was familiar with patio home - small street
communities in Boulder and was actively involved in drafting the new RAP street
standards for Boulder_ Study could be written up by developer and attached as an
addendum to the traffic study.
10_ Mike Herzig indicated specific concerns:
a) Main street into project should not dead end into private garage drive but
should continue all the way through to public perimeter street.
b) Documentation and analysis should be provided in terms of streets, design
speeds, curbs, etc.
c) Minimum street should have two ten foot travel lanes.
d) Prefers 8' parking width.
e) Self -enforcing nature of parking is very important - landscape offsets and
color concrete contrasting, asphalt roadway.
f) It is important that there be sufficient number of on -street parking spaces
based on City requirements and functionality of community.
11. Mike Pretz indicated that Fire does not like private drives in general as they
present the liability of firefighters and other hazards_ Furthermore, he suggested that
the perimeter access way could be reduced to 16' asphalt plus 4' gravel shoulder plus
7' parking, and tight curbs and access would be okay provided houses were sprinkled.
Lagunitan Company 4 303 226 5126 W&10/24194 03:29 PM D 313
12. Mike Herzig, in this regard, felt that this perimeter street specification might work
provided it was all one way.
13. Kerrie Ashbeck suggested that developer consider eliminating parking on the
main street where parking is adjacent to the sides of houses and make this more of a
landscape pedestrian way for the community. Put parking elsewhere in the project as
needed, primarily at or opposite house frontages.
14. Mike Herzig stated that streets terminating into garage driveways did not meet cul
de sac requirements.
15. Kerrie Ashbeck suggested eliminating some of the homes at the interior of project
and have a town square or open space concept onto which garages all would gain
access and I or front. This is an interesting concept but must be looked at from the
standpoint of market viability.
16_ Rita Davis suggested that landscaped offsets alternate first on the right side of the
street, then the left side of the street to create a meandering street to slow down traffic.
17_ Mike Herzig commented that a slight meander in the street could accurately
accomplish speed control and parking would still be at the front of houses where it
would have more utility.
18. Furthermore Mike Herzig indicated that the grade transition at the perimeter of
project going frorn the project into natural area should be carefully considered.

Re: Bridgefield PUD (Phases 1 and 2) Final submittal
Dear Jack,
The Bridgefield PUD drainage report was submitted to the Stormwater Utility on Monday
January 23 rd. Upon a preliminary check of submitted materials it became obvious that this
submittal falls below the acceptable standards for a final submittal. According to Section 2.2.2.1
of the City of Fort. Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria manual all final submittals shall include
the calculations for the design of storm sewers. As presented the materials submitted omits this
part and does not size any of the storm drainage conveyance system shown on the overall Utility
Plan as well as on the Drainage Plan.
The proposed Bridgefield development should be given special drainage considerations due to the
relatively small size of streets. This smaller street standard precludes draining the major storm
flows through surface flow. Thus an extensive storm sewerage network will be required for this
development. That presents some difficulty since the storm sewer lines, as well as water and
sanitary sewers are to be located within this same smaller Right Of Way width of the streets. As
currently shown several storm sewers are located under and behind sidewalks and thus would be
infringing on Electric Utility easements. Additionally many inlets are shown to be located on
private property with no public easements.
It is City of Fort Collins policy to reject incomplete/inadequate submittals within 48 hours from
submittal date. Since these issues were raised after this initial 48 hour period, this submittal will
be initially kept on the agenda of items to be discussed at Interdepartmental Review on February
6'fi 1995 . However, speaking from a Stormwater Utility standpoint only, it will be required that
a complete drainage report (including the missing information noted above and accompanied by
a complete design of all utility lines that would resolve potential utility conflicts) be submitted to
the Stormwater Utility no later than 3:00 p.m. Wednesday February 1 " 1995, for this item to be
recommended to tie considered for the March P&Z hearing. Otherwise, the Stormwater Utility

RE: Bridgefield PUD
All existing trees including those along the ditch need to be accurately located
on the Site Landscape Plan. The row of Green Ash along the west property line
are significant and should be retained. To successfully preserve these trees, 7
close coordination of the Landscape and Utility Plans will need to occur. If the
plans approved by the Planning and Zoning Board show the trees to be retained,
then it should be the expectations that adequate protection and engineering will- ,.
occur to insure they survive. If they can't be retained with this design,11that
should be decided now and mitigation planned for. Each major tree needs to have -
a undisturbed zone of 8-10 feet from the trunk in all directions.
The Forestry Division will not be able to provide maintenance or all the trees
on the right-of-way. This note needs to be added to the Landscape Plan.
/j
1 Street trees along Prospect and Bridgefield on the right-of-way will be
maintained) by the City Forestry Division. All other trees on this project
shall be maintained by the homeowners association.
