SUBJECT: East Ridge Development - Transportation Impact Study for
Land Use Change (File: 0245ME05)
A land use change has been proposed on Parcel B in the East Ridge
Development located in the southeast quadrant of the Timberline/Vine
intersection in Fort Collins. This development has a capacity
reservation at the Vine/Lemay intersection, as documented in Eric
Brake's letter dated March 1, 2007. The East Ridge Final Project
Development Plan has been accepted by 'the City of Fort Collins
(Cameron Glass letter dated March 5, 2007 (signed March 7, 2007)).
Per the Eric Bracke letter, if a change of land use 'is proposed, a
reevaluation of the capacity reservation will occur. This memorandum
provides the information necessary for that reevaluation. Eric Bracke
requested a memorandum showing new counts (within the last year at
the Vine/Lemay and Timberline/Vine intersections and the current
operation at these intersections. In addition, the Vine/Lemay
intersection should be reevaluated with regard, to the capacity
reservation.
Recent peak hour traffic counts were obtained at the Vine/Lemay
and Timberline/Vine intersections as shown in Figure 1. The
Vine/Lemay counts were obtained in February 2007. The Timberline/Vine
counts were obtained in August 2006. These counts are less than one
year old. Raw traffic data is provided in' Appendix A. Previous
traffic counts at these respective intersections were obtained in
February 2006 and January 2005. At the Vine/Lemay intersection there
has been an increase in traffic in the past year. At the
Timberline/Vine intersection there was a decrease in traffic between
the two counts. Table 1 shows the peak hour operation at these
intersections using the most recent traffic counts. Calculation forms
are provided in Appendix B. Both intersections operate acceptably.
The approved land use on Parcel B is retail. From the trip
generation table in the "East Ridge Transportation Impact Study,"
(TIS) February 2003, this parcel was shown to generate 410 daily trip
ends, 33 morning peak hour trip ends and 26 afternoon peak hour trip
