SUBJECT: The Pond at Hearthfire traffic study
(File:.95103ME4)
This memorandum documents a comparison of the trip
generation for the Hearthfire PUD versus the Pond at
Hearthfire. The Pond at Hearthfire is a subdivision proposal
for a portion of the land within the former Hearthfire PUD.
The scope of this traffic study was discussed with the Fort
Collins Traffic Engineer. ,
The Hearthfire PUD was comprised of 142 single family
dwelling units and 147 apartment dwelling units. A traffic
study titled "Hoffman PUD Traffic Impact Analysis," June 19,
1995 and an addendum memorandum titled "Hearthfire PUD,
additional traffic studies," March 14, 1996, were prepared
which address the traffic related impacts of the Hearthfire
PUD. Table 1 shows the trip generation from the Hearthfire
PUD.
The Pond at Hearthfire is on a portion of the Hearthfire
PUD area. It is on a parcel that is known as the Jewett
Property. This portion is comprised of 94 single family
dwelling units with access to County Road 13. Table 2 shows
the trip generation for the Pond at Hearthfire.
A simple comparison of the trip generation indicates that
the Pond at Hearthfire will generate only 40 percent of the
traffic that was estimated the Hearthfire PUD. All of the key
intersections analyzed in the Hearthfire PUD traffic studies
were shown to operate acceptably. Therefore, with the lower
trip generation, the key intersections will also operate
acceptably.
