Dave,
I did a site generated trip assignment with NO adjustment (40% in the TIS) and a short range peak hour forecast.
The"new" volumes do not change the geometric requirements at the key intersections that were reported in the
TIS. I did not rerun the operations analyses. Obviously the delays for the minor street movements at the
Shields/Birch intersection will be increased. In the TIS of record, the minor street leg was shown to operate at
LOS D (LOS C with the critical gap adjustment) in the afternoon peak hour. In my judgment, the LOS will fall into
the same LOS categories with the higher volumes. In this type of land use area (per City Plan), at stop sign
controlled intersections LOS F is acceptable. This is considered to be normal at stop sign controlled intersections
along arterial streets.
I trust this explanation will satisfy the concern raised. Feel free to forward this email to Ruth and tell her she can
call me if she wants to.
Thanks. Matt

Hi guys:
The attached is a response from Matt Delich to Ruth's question
concerning the 40% reduction in trip generation for the Hellenic Plaza
project. I asked him to look at whether there were any public
improvements that were avoided by using the reduction. I thought I
would forward this to you, and you can forward to the rest of the P & Z
Board if you think it is appropriate.
See you Thursday,
Dave

SUBJECT: Hellenic Plaza Traffic Impact Study
(File: 06117ME02)
The land uses within Hellenic Plaza, proposed to be located in the
northwest quadrant of the Shields/Birch intersection, are being changed, which
will cause a major amendment to the approved site plan. The "Hellenic Plaza
Transportation Impact Study" (HPTIS), February 2007, was prepared for and
accepted by Fort Collins. This is a trip generation memorandum comparing the
former proposal and the current proposal.
The HPTIS included residential (39 apartment units), specialty retail
(3,710 square feet), coffee shop (2,350 square feet), and general office
,(1,760
square feet). A 40 percent reduction for bike/walk trips was allowed for the
residential, retail, and coffee shop land uses due to the proximity of Hellenic
Plaza to the CSU campus. The calculated trip generation in the HPTIS was: 1165
daily trip ends, 107 morning peak hour trip ends, and 48 afternoon peak hour trip
ends.
The current proposal for Hellenic Plaza includes residential (46 apartment
units), specialty retail (805 square feet), and coffee shop (874 square feet).
The new trip generation was calculated using Trip Generation, 8t° Edition, ITE.
The calculated trip generation, after applying the same 40 percent bike/walk
reduction, is: 558 daily trip ends, 75 morning peak hour trip ends, and 39
afternoon peak hour trip ends.
The total daily and peak hour trip generation is less than that analyzed in
the HPTIS. Therefore, all of the analyses in approved HPTIS used traffic
forecasts that are conservatively high. It is respectfully requested that no
further traffic analyses be required for the current proposal for Hellenic Plaza.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or require additional
information. Thank you.
