Since the comments will not change the conclusions of the TIS, a memorandum addendum was prepared. This was agreed to by the Fort Collins staff. The street labeled as Sagebrush Drive has been changed to Joseph Allen Drive. The Site Plan (Figure 3) is the only place where this street name is referenced in the cited TIS. It is suggested that all parties who are in possession of the TIS, change the name on Figure 3. Bear Mountain Drive is forecasted to carry 265 and 390 vehicles in the respective peak hours. These volumes will occur immediately west of Timberline Road. The volumes will decrease to the west at every driveway that intersects with Bear Mountain Drive. These volumes can easily be accommodated on a street with a two-lane cross section. The extension of the 36 foot wide street stub has been approved by the City of Fort Collins. By inspection, the driveways that intersect Bear Mountain Drive will operate at level of service A/B. Detailed rigorous capacity analyses were deemed to be unnecessary for Bear Mountain Drive west of Timberline Road. Joseph Allen Drive is forecasted to carry 215 and 245 vehicles in the respective peak hours at/near the south property line of the Timberline Commercial Center. The volumes will decrease at every driveway to the north. These volumes can easily be accommodated on a two-lane cross section. It is my understanding that this street will have a 50 foot width. This width will provide two travel lanes, two bike lanes, and two parking lanes. This functional cross section can be for either a Commercial Local or a Minor Collector. By inspection, the driveways that intersect Joseph Allen Drive will operate at level of service A/B. Detailed rigorous capacity analyses were deemed to be unnecessary for Joseph Allen Drive at the driveways that access the Timberline Commercial Center. The off-street parking setbacks for all of the driveways that access both Bear Mountain Drive and Joseph Allen Drive are 50 feet. This is the appropriate setback considering the forecasted volumes on these streets and the expected driveway volumes. This memorandum serves as an addendum to the "Timberline Commercial Center Transportation Impact Study," October 2005. It addresses staff comments pertaining to street name changes, internal streets, and off-street parking setbacks.
