CONCLUSIONS ' This study assessed the impacts of the Water's Edge Development on the short range (2009) and long range (2025) street system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: The development of the Water's Edge Development is feasible from a ' traffic engineering standpoint. At full development, the Water's Edge Development will generate approximately 3270 daily trip ends, 255 morning peak hour trip ends, and 335 afternoon peak hour trip ends. - Current operation at the key intersections is acceptable with existing controls and geometry. - Peak hour signal warrants are likely to be met at the Turnberry/Country Club intersection. However, it is not likely that any other signal warrant would be met at the Turnberry/Country Club intersection. Therefore, a traffic signal is not recommended at Turnberry/Country Club intersection in the short range and long range futures. In the short range (2009) future, given development of the Water's Edge Development and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections are shown to operate acceptably. At the Turnberry/Richards Lake intersection, westbound approach will experience delays that are commensurate with level of service E. At the Turnberry/Country Club intersection, the eastbound and westbound approaches will experience delays that are commensurate with level of service F. This is considered to be normal during the peak hours at stop sign controlled intersections along arterial streets. A roundabout could be considered at these intersections. The short range geometry is shown in Figure 10. In the long range (2025) future, given development of the Water's Edge Development and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections are shown to operate acceptably. At the Turnberry/Richards Lake intersection, westbound approach will experience delays that are commensurate with level of service E. At the Turnberry/Country Club intersection, the eastbound and westbound approaches will experience delays that are commensurate with level of service F. This is considered to be normal during the peak hours at stop sign controlled intersections along arterial streets. A roundabout could be considered at these intersections. The long range geometry is shown in Figure 11. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, if unacceptable operation occurs during the peak hours, the City may implement a `no left turn during peak hours' action for the northbound and southbound traffic on Lemay Avenue. This will result in acceptable operation at this intersection. 30 area (existing Richards Lake) to the south of the site. This site is in an area type termed "other." Acceptable pedestrian level of service cannot be achieved for all pedestrian destinations. The Pedestrian LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix I. The minimum level of service for "other" is C for all categories, except for the directness measure for destination 2. The only way to achieve acceptable directness level of service is to cross through private property. This is not a practical route. Therefore, a modification of standard is requested. Bicycle Level of Service Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, there are no bicycle destinations within 1320 feet of the Water's Edge development. This site will achieve bicycle level of service B connectivity which exceeds the base city-wide minimum. Transit Level of Service This area of Fort Collins will not be served by transit service according to the Fort Collins Transit Plan. Therefore, a transit level of service could not be conducted. 29 TABLE 8 Short Range (2009) LemayNine Peak Hour Operation With No NB/SB Left Turns Intersection Movement Level of Service AM PM LemayNwith background traffic No NB and SB left -turns (signal) EB LT C D EB T/RT C C EB APPROACH C Cine WB LT C D WB T/RT D C WB APPROACH D C NB T/RT B D SB T/RT B B OVERALL C C LemayNine with total traffic No NB and SB (signal) EB LT C D EB T/RT C C EB APPROACH C C WB LT C D WB T/RT D C WB APPROACH D C NB T/RT B D SB T/RT B B OVERALL C C 28 TABLE 7 Short Range (2009) LemayNine Peak Hour Operation With Current Geometry Intersection Movement Level of Service AM PM Lemay/Vine with background traffic (signal) EB LT C F EB T/RT C D EB APPROACH C D WB LT C F WB T/RT D C WB APPROACH D D NB LT/T/RT B D SB LT/T/RT C C OVERALL C D Lemay/Vine with total traffic (signal) EB LT C F EB T/RT C D EB APPROACH C E WB LT C F WB T/RT E D WB APPROACH D E NB LT/ T/RT B E SB LT/T/RT C C OVERALL C D 27 40/105 —14 150/340 —� 70/90 L0 c)�e � o rn Lo145/150 co °) ---a— 280/210 115/75 0 0 Lo Lo Lo N 00 (V O LO d C7 It AM/PM A& N Vine Drive SHORT RANGE (2009) BACKGROUND PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Figure 12 >%a) E �Q cLo 145/150 o N Lo °' �— 280/210 )°' l^ f 1 115/75 40/105 150/340 70/90 o Lo to Cl co N o t U') C7 tt AM/PM SHORT RANGE (2009) TOTAL PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC A& N Vine Drive Figure 13 26 • Douglas Road Morningstar Way Brightwater Drive Richards Lake Road Country Club Road —' I 1 F- LONG RANGE (2025) GEOMETRY 25 Figure 11 Douglas Road Morningstar Way Brightwater Drive Richards Lake Road Country Club Road —� SHORT RANGE (2009) GEOMETRY 24 Lind (DU c ham- o w A& N Figure 10 Geometry Figure 10 shows a schematic of the short range (2009) geometry. In the City of Fort Collins, left -turn lanes are required on arterial streets. It is assumed that as developments are built left -turn lanes into the access will also be built. Figure 11 shows a schematic of the long range (2025) geometry at key intersections. Lemay/Vine Intersection The City requested that the Water's Edge impact on the Lemay/Vine intersection be assessed. The short range (2009) background traffic at the Lemay/Vine intersection is shown in Figure 12. This was taken from the short range (2009) total traffic from the Boma Farm TIS. The Water's Edge site generated was added to determine the short range (2009) total traffic and is shown in Figure 13. To be conservative all the. Water's Edge site generated traffic utilizing Country Club Road was added to the Lemay/Vine intersection. Currently, the Lemay/Vine intersection has one approach lane on Lemay Avenue and eastbound and westbound left -turn lanes on Vine. The Lemay/Vine intersection was analyzed both with and without the Water's Edge site generated traffic. As shown in Table 7, the Lemay/Vine intersection will operate below the City standards during the afternoon peak hour with and without the Water's Edge site traffic. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix H. The increase in delay related to site traffic isgreater than 2 percent. Therefore, the impact of the site generated traffic is significant per the City of Fort Collins criteria. Northbound and southbound left -turn lanes would require additional right-of-way and redesign of the railroad crossing. Since, the City of Fort Collins Master Street shows the Lemay/Vine intersection shifted to the north with a future grade separated railroad crossing, purchasing right-of-way and upgrading the crossing would not be reasonable. Restriction of northbound and southbound left -turns during the peak hours has been entertained by the City in other traffic impact studies. Analysis of the Lemay/Vine intersection with the left -turn restrictions is shown in Table 8. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix H. The Lemay/Vine intersection will operate acceptably in both the morning and afternoon peak hours with northbound and southbound left -turn restrictions. Pedestrian Level of Service Appendix I shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Water's Edge Development. There will be four pedestrian destinations within 1320 feet of the Water's Edge Development. These are: 1) the residential area (Hearthfire) to the west of the site, 2) the residential area (Serramonte) to the north of the site, 3) the residential area (Lind) to the east of the site, and 4) the residential 23 Roundabout Analysis A resolution of the Fort Collins City Council requires a roundabout analysis at arterial/arterial and arterial/collector intersections. A roundabout analysis was requested at the Turnberry/Richards Lake and Turnberry/Country Club intersections and is addressed in this section of the TIS. Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 show the volume/capacity (v/c) ratios with roundabout control at the subject intersection for the respective short range (2009) and long range (2025) futures. The Turnberry/Richards Lake and Turnberry/Country Club intersections were analyzed as a single -lane roundabout in the short range (2009) and long range (2025) using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual. This technique does not calculate level of service or delay to the traffic entering the roundabout. Instead, it provides a v/c ratio for each entering leg. The capacity is expressed as an upper and lower bound. The calculation forms are provided in the respective appendices. Convention would indicate that level of service A is associated with a v/c ratio <-0.60. Correspondingly, the following associations are also reasonable: level of service B - v/c=0.61-0.70; level of service C - v/c=0.71-0.80; level of service D - v/c=0.81-0.90; level of service E - v/c=0.91-1.00; and level of service F - v/c>1.00. The capacity of a roundabout can be increased by providing right -turn bypass lanes when the right -turning volume is sufficiently high to warrant this treatment. The capacity can also be improved by increasing the number of lanes on the approaches and on the circulating roadway. However, increasing the number of lanes does not cause a doubling of the capacity. It is assumed that the level of service for an approach leg (LOS D in a low density mixed use residential area) at a signalized intersection is also acceptable for the approach leg for a roundabout. The roundabout analyses indicate that a single -lane roundabout would provide acceptable operation in the short range (2009) and long range (2025) future for both the Turnberry/Richards Lake and Turnberry/Country Club intersections. Since the entering vehicles on all legs of a roundabout are typically not stopped, the vehicle emissions at a roundabout are less than that at a stop sign controlled or a signal controlled intersection. This is especially true during the non -peak hours. Accidents at ' roundabout intersection are less severe than those at conventional intersections. If roundabouts are built at these intersections, additional right-of-way may be required at all four quadrants of the ' intersections depending upon the ultimate design. A detailed cost estimate is beyond the scope of a transportation impact study. This is more appropriately provided by the roundabout design engineer. It is premature to provide a design and cost estimate unless the City of Fort Collins desires roundabout control at these intersections. It is likely that the annual maintenance costs of a roundabout will be less than that of a signalized intersection. 22 TABLE 6 Long Range (2025) Total Peak Hour Operation Intersection Movement Level of Service AM PM Tumberry/Douglas (stop sign) EB LT A A WB LT A A NB LT B g NB T/RT A B NB APPROACH B B SB LT B g SB T/RT B g SB APPROACH B B Turnberry/Morningstar-Lind (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT B B WB LT/T/RT C C NB LT q A SB LT A A Tumberry/Brightwater (stop sign) EB LT/T B C EB RT B g EB APPROACH B B WB LT/T/RT C C NB LT A q SB LT A A Tumberry/Richards Lake (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT B B WB LT/T/RT D E NB LT A A SB LT A A Tumberry/Richards Lake (roundabout) Rafio;�`„�p� no_nanweru�a} K EB 0.06/0.08 0.04/0.05 WB 0.101012 1 n.1n/n.12 NB 0.19/0.23 0.52/0.62 SB 0.49/0.59 0.32/0.39 Tumbeny/Country Club (stop sign) EB LT/T C F EB RT B g EB APPROACH C F WB LT/T/RT D F NB LT A A SB LT q q Tumberry/Country Club (roundabout) v/c"RahocWWI nw�anow�„nat EB 0.36/0.44 0.50/0.61 WB 0.05/0.06 0.07/0.09 NB 0.17/0.20 0.73/0.89 SB 0.59/0.71 0.48/0.58 21 TABLE 5 Short Range (2009) Total Peak Hour Operation Intersection Movement Level of Service AM PM Turnbery/Douglas (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT A A WB LT/T/RT A A NB LT/T/RT A B SB LT/T/RT A A Tumberry/Morningstar-Lind (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT B B WB LT/T/RT B C NB LT A A SB LT A A Turnberry/Brightwater (stop sign) EB LT/T B C EB RT B q EB APPROACH B B WB LT/T/RT C C NB LT A A SB LT A A Tumberry/Richards Lake (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT B B WB LT/T/RT D E NB LT A q SB LT A A Turnberry/Richards Lake (roundabout) VIC , W6 {upper iiouedllcwer fww�d} ,,` 0.05/0.06 EB WB f0.47/O.56 0.11/0.14 NB 0.53/0.64 SB 0.31/0.37 Turnberry/Country Club (stop sign) EB LT/T C F EB RT B B EB APPROACH C F WB LT/T/RT D f NB LT A A SB LT A A Turnberry/Country Club (roundabout) V/G1is1t10 (ups 6oundllawer 6ou�Mj . `, 0.44/0.54 EB 0.28/0.34 WB 0.06/0.07 0.0710.09 NB 0.16/0.19 0.66/0.80 SB 0.59/0.71 0.44/0.53 20 r] TABLE 4 Long Range (2025) Background Peak Hour Operation Intersection Movement Level of Service AM PM Tumberry/Douglas (stop sign) EB LT A A WB LT A A NB, LT B B NB T/RT A A NB APPROACH A q SB LT B B SB T/RT B B SB APPROACH B B Turnberry/Lind (stop sign) WB LT/RT B B SB LT A A Tumbeny/Brightwater (stop sign) EB LT/T B B EB RT B q EB APPROACH B B WB LT/T/RT B C NB LT A A SB LT A W- Turnberry/Richards Lake (stop sign) EB LT/T/RT B B WB LT/T/RT C D NB LT A A SB LT A A Turnberry/Richards Lake (roundabout) v/c�Ratlo.tuaPerbow_ 1dl+owerbo�u� e.

The other traffic studies in this area are the Maple Hill, Lind Property, and Boma Farm Property. Trip Assignment Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed trips are expected to be loaded on the street system. The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution process. Figure 7 shows the site generated peak hour traffic assignment of the Water's Edge Development site. Figures 8 and 9 show the short range (2009) and long range (2025) total (site plus background) peak hour traffic at the key intersections with the development of the Water's Edge Development. Signal Warrants As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed at. any location unless warrants are met according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). There are eight signal warrants in the MUTCD. The peak hour warrant is the one that is the easiest to predict in a transportation impact study, since these are analysis periods that are typically included in a transportation impact study. While a peak hour signal warrant would not be used to warrant a signal at this location, it would give a reasonable indication whether other signal warrants would be met. The peak hour warrant sheets are provided in Appendix C for the Turnberry/Country Club and Turnberry/Richards Lake intersections. Using the short range (2009) total tdetermined that peak hour signal warrants Turnberry/Country Club intersection in However, it is not likely that any other ' at the Turnberry/Country Club intersecti signal is not recommended at Turnberry/C( the short range future. peak hour traffic, it was will likely be met at the the afternoon _peak hour. .signal 7arran.t would b.0 .- o----- ..v �.a uiue 1. on.

However, it is not likely that any other signal warrant would be met at the Turnberry/Country Club intersection. Therefore, a traffic signal is not recommended at Turnberry/Country Club intersection in the long range future. Using the long range (2025) total peak hour traffic, it was determined that peak hour signal warrants will not likely be met at the Turnberry/Richards. Lake intersection. Therefore, a traffic signal is not recommended at the Turnberry/Richards Lake intersection in the long range future. 13 Douglas Road 10/10 A& --- 20/30 A , /— 45/30 ' V 10/10 —� } 35115 —.- o n n 35/15 v v o 0 N N 0 M cu N N LO O 5/5 L' + /-40/25 L wo E N LO Ln N r- Brightwater Drive Richards Lake Road Country Club Road N N n o a 515 NOM. 70/45 5/5 NOM. -+ o v� o 35/10 �' 0D N N N O N N Ln c v 10/10 �-- NOM. �---100/70 515 4' 1 NOM.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The Water's Edge Development is located in the northwest quadrant of the Turnberry/Brightwater intersection in Fort Collins. Figure 3 shows a site plan of the Water's Edge Development. The short range analysis (year 2009) includes development of the Water's Edge Development and an appropriate increase in background traffic due to normal growth and other potential developments in the area. The long range analysis year is 2025. Trip Generation Trip generation is important in considering the impact of a development such as this upon the existing and proposed street system. A compilation of trip generation information contained in Trip Generation, 7`�' Edition, ITE, was used to estimate trips that would be generated by the proposed/expected uses at this site. Table 2 shows the expected trip generation on a daily and peak hour basis. TABLE 2 Daily and Peak Hour Trip Generation Code se U= Size MH PM Peak HourAVDE .:, c.. .. ;' •. - ...:. _ _ . ;: ?.

Figure 4 shows the trip distribution used in the following ' analyses. The trip distribution analysis was discussed and agreed to in the scoping meeting. ' Background Traffic Projections ' Figures 5 and 6 show the respective short range (2009) and long range (2025) background traffic projections. Background traffic projections for the short range future horizon were obtained by t Pedestrian Facilities Pedestrian facilities in this area are sporadic. Sidewalks exist along Brightwater Drive and the north side of Richards Lake Road. There is sidewalk along the eastside Turnberry between Richards Lake and Brightwater. When the area roads are built to arterial standards, sidewalks will be included in the respective cross sections. Sidewalks will be incorporated within and adjacent to this development. Bicycle Facilities Bicycle lanes exist within the cross section of Turnberry Road, Richards Lake Road and Brightwater Drive. The Fort Collins Bike Map shows that all of the key streets as "streets with bike lanes."

INTRODUCTION ' This full transportation impact study (TIS) addresses the capacity, geometric, and control requirements at and near the proposed Water's Edge Development. The proposed Water's Edge Development is ' located in the northwest quadrant of the Turnberry/Brightwater intersection in Fort Collins, Colorado. ' During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project engineering consultant (Stantec Consulting Inc.), the project planner (Vignette Studios), the project owner/developer (Skyland Meadows Development, Ltd.), and the City of Fort Collins staff. This study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins ' transportation impact study guidelines as contained in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards" (LCUASS). A Base Assumptions Form and related information are provided in Appendix A. The study involved the following steps: ' _ Collect physical, traffic, and development data; Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment; - Determine peak hour traffic volumes; - Conduct capacity and operational level of service analyses on key intersections; - Analyze signal warrants; - Conduct level of service evaluation of pedestrian, bicycle, and ' transit modes of transportation. 1 LIST OF FIGURES Figure Page 1.
