The .traffic.study comments are under items 28b, 28d, and 28e. They are addressed below and are labeled accordingly. 28b. The trip generation used in the TIS reflects 75% of the signal design volumes for Rolland Moore Park. The largest sporting event possible at the Fossil Creek Community Park would be one at which all available parking spaces were used and they turned -over fully in one hour. This type of event is highly unlikely. However, if it were to occur, the peak hour trip generation at the Lemay Avenue access would be 427 inbound vehicles and 427 outbound vehicles, and at the Fossil Creek Parkway access would be 145 inbound vehicles and 145 outbound vehicles. This type of an event would not occur during the peak hours of the street. Therefore, unless a specified time of such an event could be determined, an operational analysis is unreasonable. 28d. The right-in/right-out access to Lemay Avenue is located 900 feet south of the primary (public) access to Lemay Avenue. The right-in/right-out access is not intended to be a public access. This access is near the crest (north of the crest) of a vertical curve on Lemay Avenue. The sight distance to the north is in excess of 1600 feet. This is more than adequate. As with all intersection .sight triangles, no obstructions (landscaping, etc.) should penetrate the sight line of a drivers eye height of 3.5 feet and an object height of 4.25 feet. 28e. The "Fossil Creek Park Transportation Impact Study," March 2001 was prepared and submitted to the City of Fort Collins (6 copies).
