SITE LOCATION Figure 1
Currently, this area is served by Route 1 transit service. Route 1'i?
operates along Harmony Road and JFK Parkway. In the future, transit
service will be improved. There will be 10 minute transit service on
Harmony;Road. It is anticipated that the level of service will be in the
B category with implementation of the City's Transit Development Plan. A
future transit level of service worksheet is provided in Appendix E.
It is concluded that, with the 608 East Harmony Road Office
Development, the future level of service at the key intersections will be
acceptable. The level of service for bicycle and transit modes will be
acceptable. This development cannot be expected to make the improvements
necessary to meet the minimum pedestrian level of service criteria for the
factors that appear to be currently acceptable to the City.
a number of years. Therefore, it was assumed that this access would allow �}
all movements in the short range (2005) future. Table 2 shows the trip
generation for the 608 East Harmony Road Office Development. Trip.
Generation, 6th Edition, ITE was used as a reference in calculating the
trip generation. The trip distribution for this site is shown in Figure
5. Figure 6 shows the site generated traffic assignment of the 608 East
Harmony Road Office Development.
Figure 7 shows the short range (2005) background peak hour traffic
at the key intersections. Background traffic volume forecasts for the
short range (2005) future were obtained by reviewing traffic studies for
other developments in this area. It includes full development of Boardwalk
Place, as well as a normal increase in traffic. Table 3 shows the short
range (2005) background peak hour operation at the key intersections.
Calculation forms are provided in Appendix C. These intersections will 1
operate acceptably with existing control and geometry. J
Figure 8 shows the short range (2005) total peak hour traffic at the
key intersections. Table 4 shows the short range (2005) total peak hour
operation at the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in
Appendix D. These intersections will operate acceptably during the peak
hours. Figure 9 shows the short range (2005) geometry at the key
intersections based upon the State Highway Access Code. Auxiliary turn
lanes are not required at this access. The center median lane in Harmony
Road is 15 feet wide and functions as a continuous two-way left -turn lane
between the signalized intersections. This .should continue until the
raised median in Harmony Road is built. There is a shoulder lane on the
north side of Harmony Road that serves as a right -turn lane for various
driveways and streets between the signalized intersections. This should
continue to function this way until CDOT/City determine what the future
cross section of Harmony Road will be in this area. Since there are/will
be so few right -turning vehicles, bicycles on Harmony Road can/should
utilize this shoulder also.
Figure 10 shows the 608 East Harmony Road Office Development site and
an influence area of 1320 feet from the property. This is the area within
which the City requires pedestrian and bicycle level of service
evaluations. Given the motor vehicle trip generation, it is reasonable to
assume that there will be very little pedestrian or bicycle traffic related
to this development proposal. There are seven pedestrian destination areasr.d
within 1320 feet of the site: 1) the apartments to the north; 2) the
residential neighborhood between Boardwalk Drive and Lemay Avenue; 3)
Fairway Estates; 4) the Home Depot commercial area; 5) the commercial
center south of Harmony Road and east of Boardwalk Drive; 6) the church
south of Harmony Road and west of Boardwalk Drive; and 7) the church south
of Harmony Road and east of Hogan Drive. Appendix E contains the
Pedestrian LOS Worksheets for these destinations. There are a number of
destinations that do not meet the minimum level of service criteria for
various factors. This reflects the current conditions that seems to be
acceptable to the City for the occasional pedestrian in the area. Given
the size of this development proposal, it is not reasonable that it make
improvements that would meet all of the minimum level of service criteria.
This development will build sidewalks along its frontage on Harmony Road.
There are two bicycle priority destination areas within 1320 feet of
the site: 4) the Home Depot commercial area and 5) the commercial center
south of Harmony Road and east of Boardwalk Drive. Appendix E contains the
Bicycle LOS Worksheet for these destinations. The bicycle level of service-
will be acceptable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Russ McCahan, Stanford Commercial Real Estate
Tom Peterson, Stanford Commercial Real Estate
Steve Steinbicker, Architecture West
Tricia Kroetch, North Star Design
City of Fort Collins
FROM: Matt Delich
DATE: January 14, 2003
SUBJECT: 608 East Harmony Road Office Development transportation
analyses (File: 0275ME01)
This memorandum addresses the transportation impacts of the
proposed 608 East Harmony Road Office Development. The 608 East
Harmony Road Office Development is located on the north side of
Harmony Road between JFK Parkway/Hogan Drive and Boardwalk Drive. The
site location is shown in Figure 1. The site plan for the 608 East
Harmony Road Office Development is shown in Figure 2. As proposed,
the 608 East Harmony Road Office Development will consist.of 11,000
square feet of general office use. The scope of this study was
discussed with CDOT staff and City of Fort Collins staff.
Figure 3 shows recent peak hour counts at the Harmony/JFK/Hogan
and Harmony/Boardwalk intersections. The count data was obtained in
January 2002 by the City of Fort Collins. Raw traffic data is
provided in Appendix A. Peak hour counts were performed at the
Harmony/Stover intersection to confirm the validity of the January
2002 counts. These counts (January 2003) indicated that the traffic
on Harmony Road was either less than or the same as that counted in
January 2002. It was concluded that use of the traffic shown in
Figure 3 was appropriate. Since traffic counts were obtained on
different days, the traffic volumes between the intersections were
averaged and are shown in Figure 4. Table 1 shows the current
operation of the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided
in Appendix B. A description of level of service for signalized and
unsignalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a
table showing the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards
(Intersections) are also provided in Appendix B. The key intersections �.
operate acceptably overall during both the morning and afternoon peak
hours. Acceptable operation at signalized intersections during the
peak hours is defined as level of service E or better in a mixed -use
district. At unsignalized intersections, acceptable operation is �-
considered to be at level of service F for any approach leg for an
arterial/local intersection or a collector/local intersection. It was
observed that minor street left -turning vehicles are utilizing the
painted center median is Harmony Road to execute two-step left turns.
Therefore, the Harmony/Site Access intersection was analyzed this
way.
The 608 East Harmony Road Office Development is proposed to be
11,000 square feet of office use with access to Harmony Road. In the
future, it is expected that a median will be constructed on Harmony e!
Road that will restrict movements at this access to right-in/right-
out only. However, this median is not expected to be constructed for
