Dear Gene Kapolia
In reference to the Boat and RV shop that JB Excavating, Inc. is interested in purchasing. It is my understanding
that you are requesting a letter slating the traffic flow from a similar business. We are a Boat and RV business
located on Ilwy 14. During our summer months we experience vehicle traffic between 40 and 50 automobiles per
day. These include customers, parts deliveries, numerous vendors, couriers, and salesmen. During our winter
season we experience around 30 to 35 automobiles per day.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at the above number.
Sincerely,
C'f t -,— —-

RE: Site Traffic Impacts Resulting from a Change of Use
1012 N.E. Frontage Road
Dear Eric:
As requested by Jim Bath (JB Excavating), I have estimated site traffic generated by the
proposed use and prior use at 1012 N.E. Frontage Road. It is my understanding that
this is in response to your request for this information as part of the approval process.
The site previously accommodated a boat and RV sales, service, and storage business.
The proposed use is an excavating and underground utilities business.
Given the unique uses (both existing and proposed), site traffic estimates were
developed using activity estimated by the proposed user and information obtained from
another boat and RV site. This information is contained in the attached letters. Site
traffic estimates are provided below.
PRIOR USE (Boat and RV Sales Service & Storage)
A letter from John's RV and Boat service in Fort Collins indicates some 30 — 35 vehicles
per day are normally experienced during the off-season increasing to 40 — 50 vehicles
per day during the summer. This equates to about 35 vehicles per day on average or
some 70 trips joer day.
PROPOSED USE (Excavating & Underground Utilities)
There will be 5 full-time employees on -site. These include 3 administrative people, one
estimator, and one maintenance person. No on -site sales or service is expected;
however, an average of two customers or visitors per day is normal. Two additional
vehicles per day were added for mail/UPS deliveries. This results in some 30 trips per
day assuming all employees leave for lunch.
IMPACT OF LAND USE CHANGE
As indicated above, the prior use generated an estimated 70 trips per day while the
proposed use is expected to generate some 30 trips per day. Accordingly, a reduction of
some 40 trips per day can be anticipated with the proposed use.
In summary, the proposed use is expected to result in a reduction in site generated
traffic. The reduction will likely be in the range of 50% when compared to the prior use.
I trust this letter will sufficiently answer your question. If you have any questions, feel
free to call me.
Sincerely,
Eu ne G. Coppol , P.E.

Jim Bath of JB Excavating has asked me to comment regarding the existing access located on the 12� East Frontage
Road- north of Vine. Mr. Bath is proposing to relocate his business to this site. Based upon information provided by
Gene Coppola, traffic engineer for Mr. Bath, CDOT does not feel that we have the warrant necessary to require any
changes to the existing access.
The existing access is deemed to be "grandfathered" until such time as increase of traffic using the access is proposed.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Susan,
I will make a comment stating that they need to state that the existing
imperviousness is grandfathered. I do not want to make them provide
detention at this point this the additional imperviousness is minimal
and we accepted it in the first round of review.

I looked at the original plat and it was signed off April 23, 1984. The 18 year prescriptive easement Basil
mentioned would take effect April 23, 2002. So does this mean he has to deal with his offsite drainage
problem that his plans currently show?
Thank you!
