First National Bank Plaza Trarfic Impact Report
Conclusions
Based on this analyses of traffic for the proposed First National Bank Plaza at Drake
Crossing, the following conclusions have been reached:
1 _ The development will generate approximately 68 trips (38 entering and 30
exiting) during the AM peak period, and 170 trips (82 entering and 88 exiting)
durinb the PM peak.
2. The planned bank will only have an impact on left turning traffic from
southbound Hampshire to eastbound Drake.
3. The addition of the bank will have no significant impact on traffic volumes in
2002, with the exception of the intersection of Hampshire and Drake.
4. A traffic signal is warranted based on the current peak -hour volumes at the
intersection of Drake and Hampshire (without the proposed bank).
S. Adding a traffic signal at the intersection of Drake and Hampshire will
significantly reduce the delay incurred by vehicles turning left onto Drake from
southbound Hampshire.
6. Adding the traffic signal at Drake and Hampshire will reduce the number of
vehicles using the south access point, thus reducing the delay at the south access
point. '

Impact Mitigation
r/ Foremost, it is important to note that the worst -case scenario was used for traffic
X�J generation by the proposed bank. It is likely that only about 30 to 50 percent of the
traffic generated will be in the form of new trips. A significant portion will likely be
either pass -by trips, or trips that are already occurring within Drake Crossing. Thus, the
impacts identified in this study, while minor, are very likely exaggerated.
} ��
\��ry / The proposed First National Bank.Plaza development will only impact the intersection of
Hampshire and Drake. Queues and delay for traffic southbound on Hampshire are
significant under existing traffic volumes.
The 1988 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, published by the
U.S. Department of Transportation, recommends a peak hour warrant analyses when
traffic conditions are such that for one hour of the day, minor street traffic "suffers undue
traffic delay" in entering or crossing the major street. The Peak Hour Volume Warrant
graph is shown in Figure 2.
Using the volumes of the existing traffic conditions during the PM peak period provided
in Table 6, the major street volume (Drake) is 1182 vph, and the minor street high
volume approach (southbound Hampshire) volume is 138 vph. Using these volumes and
Figure 2, a traffic signal is presently warranted at the intersection of Drake and
Hampshire Roads. This situation exists without the proposed bank. It is recommended
that the City install a traffic signal at that intersection as part of the ongoing construction /
effort in that area \j

,rAdding the proposed bank increases the LOS for southbound traffic on Hampshire to
LOS E, and with the bank in 2002, the LOS becomes F. Without the bank, the LOS for
southbound-traffic would only increase to LOS E.
South Access and Drake
The south access to Drake from Drake Crossing provides sufficient room for both a left
and a right -turn lane. Drake Road is a four -lane highway with a two -way -left -turn -lane.
During the AM peak period, the intersection operates at LOS A with the exception of
traffic turning left from Drake Crossing onto Drake which operates at LOS D as shown in
Table 7. Adding the proposed bank does not change the operation of this intersection
during the AM peak period, nor will the operation change in 2002.
During the PM peak period; the left turn from Drake Crossing onto Drake presently
operates at LOS F. Adding the proposed bank will slightly increase the delay, but the
problem of operating at LOS F still exists. All of the other movements operate at LOS A
or B.
Taft Hill and East Access
The east access to Drake Crossing from Taft Hill provides sufficient room for both a left
and a right -tam lane. Taft Hill road is a four lane highway with a two-way-left-tum-lane.
During the AM peak, the intersection operates at LOS A with the exception of the left
turn out of Drake Crossing onto Southbound Taft Hill, which operates at LOS D as
shown in Table 8. Adding the proposed bank does not change the LOS of any movement
within the intersection.
During the PM peak period, the left turn onto southbound Taft Hill operates at LOS E.

generated without adding the bank to provide the ability to differentiate the differences
between the two scenarios.
Intersection Analyses
This section describes the traffic impacts at each of the six intersections. The analyses is
based on a worst case scenario of 100% of the trips being new, and no internal trips
within the Drake Crossing shopping center.
Drake and Taft Hill
Drake and Taft Hill Roads are both four lanes with left and right turn bays. It is a
signalized intersection. Volumes, delays, and LOS values are shown in Table 3. The
intersection presently operates at LOS D during both the AM and PM peak periods. The
intersection will remain at LOS D after the bank is added, and in the year 2002.
The approaches where the LOS falls to 8 in 2002 can be improved by modifying the
signal timing at the intersection. For the analyses, fixed times were used -based on traffic
proportions, but not optimized. Optimizing the signal will improve the operation to allow
all of the approaches to operate at LOS D in 2002.
Taft Hill and Valley Forge
Taft Hill Road at Valley Forge is a four -lane road with left turn bays. Valley Forge road
has space available for two lanes at the intersection. This intersection is presently
signalized. Volumes, delays, and LOS values are shown in Table 4. It presently operates
at LOS B during both the AM and PM peak periods. As shown in Table 2, this
intersection will receive very little new traffic from the proposed bank. The intersection
will remain at LOS B after the bank is added and in the year 2002.
Hampshire and West Access
The west access point to Drake Crossing is stop -sign controlled, and has sufficient room
for two lanes. Hampshire Road is a two-lane road with sufficient space to allow vehicles
to pass left -turning vehicles on the right. There is no vehicle control for Hampshire Road
at this point. Volumes, delays, and LOS are shown in Table 5. All movements at this
intersection presently operate at LOS A. Traffic generated by the proposed bank will
decrease the LOS for vehicles exiting from the bank to LOS B; however, the LOS for the
other movements do not change, and will remain at LOS A.
Hampshire and Drake
South bound Hampshire Road at Drake provides sufficient room for two lanes of exiting
traffic, and Drake Road at that point is four lanes with a two-way-left-tum-lane.
Presently, the only movement not operating at LOS C or better is southbound traffic on
Hampshire turning -left onto eastbound Drake as is shown in Table 6.

In developing the trip generation rates, the worst case scenario was used. The following
are the assumptions that were made with respect to trip generation:
• Although one study used by ITE acknowledges that 30 percent of drive -through
bank trips are considered "pass -by" trips in which the vehicle was already on the
road, and therefore would only need to be considered at the entry and exit point
for this study, it was assumed that every trip generated a new vehicle. The ITE
figure was obtained from only one study, and the other studies shown for
commercial -type developments range from 20 to 80 percent pass -by values.
• The proposed bank will be built in an existing commercial -shopping development,
and will likely draw a number of trips that are internal to that development. No
guidance is given to estimate. the number of trips that will occur within the
development, and therefore it is assumed that all trips will be new trips, exclusive
to the proposed bank.
• All turning movement percentages are assumed to remain constant.
Traffic Impacts
Introduction
Immediate Impacts
The immediate traffic impacts were based on the.Highway Capacity Manual Signalized
and Unsignalized Method of Analyses. The analyses for each intersection are contained
in the Appendix. and summarized in Tables 3-8.
Short Term Impacts
The short term impacts were identified based on projected volumes in 2002. A constant
growth rate of 1.5 percent per year was requested by the City and used to generated
volumes. In cases where there was a LOS degradation, the shirt -term impacts were

function in the same manner as Hampshire Road. Valley Forge Road serves as an
access point to the Drake Crossing shopping center.
Traffic Conditions
Traffic volume data were collected by the City of Fort Collins at the intersections of Taft
Hill and Valley Forge Roads and Taft Hill and Drake Roads in January,1996. The.1.996
traffic counts were factored by 1.5 % as requested by the City. Traffic counts were
requested by the City at the west access point on Hampshire, the East access point on Taft
Hill, and the south access point on Drake. These counts were performed in January, 1997
and copies are included in Appendix A of this report.
The LOS for each movement are shown in Tables 3-8 later in this report. With the
exception of the left turn from the east access onto Taft Hill Road, where the existing
LOS is E, all six intersections are presently operating at LOS D or better.
Traffic Generation and Distribution / A -
The proposed First National Bank Plaza will consist o�drive-through bays and one
ATM machine.
Trip generation rates, used to estimate the number of peak -hour vehicle -trips from the
proposed development, were taken from Trip Generation, 5ed., published by the Institute
of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in 19910. The traffic projections are presented in
Table 1.
Table 1. Number of Trips Generated.
Time Number of Trip Ends I Number Entering (%) I Number Exiting (%)
PM Peak 1 170 1 82 (48%) 1 88 (52%)
As shown in Table 1, it is estimated that a total of 68 vehicle -trips will be generated by
the bank during the AM peak period, and 170 during the PM peak period.
There are four entrances that vehicles can utilize to enter and exit the bank facility. These
are the west access point on Hampshire Road, the east access point on Taft Hill Road, the
south access point on Drake Road, and the intersection of Taft Hill Road and Valley
Forge Road. The distribution of the trips during the two peals periods was performed by
using ratios of the squares of the distances of each entrance from the bank. Those
distances, and the number of trips produced at each entrance are shown in Table 2.
The site is surrounded by residential areas, indicating that directional distribution of bank
customers will be evenly spread to all four directions (N,S,E,W). Therefore, it is most
probable that drivers will access the proposed bank using the easiest or shortest method.
Additionally, the ease of access from the residential areas adjacent to the site support the
use of the west access point off of Hampshire Road for most access to the bank. _

First National Bank Plaza Traffic Impact Report
Introduction
This traffic impact report summarizes the effects of traffic expected to be generated by
the proposed First National Bank Plaza at the Drake Crossing shopping center, located at
the intersection of Drake and Taft Hill Roads in Fort Collins, Colorado. The bank is
located at the west edge of the shopping center at the intersection of Hampshire and
Drake Roads. The site and surrounding roads are shown in Figure 1. The circled
intersections denote those intersections that are a part of this traffic impact analyses.
The proposed First National Bank Plaza will consist of three drive -through banking lanes
and a drive -through ATM machine. Current plans call for the bank to share entrances to
the Drake Crossing shopping center with the primary entrance to the west onto
Hampshire Road.
Report Contents
This report summarizes the results of a traffic impact study of the proposed project as
requested by the City of Fort Collins. It incluides a several analyses as described below:
• A review of the present intersection level of service (LOS) at the six intersections
highlighted in Figure 1.
• A determination of the average peak -hour traffic generated by the bank for the
AM and PM peak -hours.
• An evaluation of the immediate traffic impacts of the proposed bank for the AM
and PM peak -hours.
• An evaluation of traffic in the vicinity of the proposed bank with traffic estimates
for the year 2002 (five years after the bank opens).
Area Roadways
Major existing roadways in the vicinity of the site are illustrated in Figure 1 and
described below:
• Drake Road is one of the major east/west corridors in Fort Collins, and provides
access to Fort Collins from the residential areas west of the site. Drake Road is
currently undergoing construction in this area. There are two travel lanes in each
direction.
• Taft Hill Road provides norWsouth travel east of the site. There are two travel
lanes in each direction.
• Hampshire Road is a north/south collector road that is immediately west of the
site. Hampshire Road provides access to the residential areas surrounding the site,
and provides one lane in each direction. The width of the road, however, allows
room for two lanes at the west access point and at the Drake Road intersection.
• Valley Forge Road is an east/west collector that is north of the Drake Crossing
development. Valley Forge Road provides access to the residential areas
surrounding the site. The width of Valley Forge Road affords it the.opportunity to
