Hearthfire PUD—Response to staff comments
(File: 9643MEM6)
N
This memorandum responds to two comments related to the traffic
6 study for the Hearthfire PUD. The responses relate to comment .a
t° and comment ll.c)

Comment ll.a) refers to an additional access point to CR13 via
an extension of Buntwing Court. It is my understanding that Buntwing
z Court is a cul-de-sac and there is no intention to connect it to
00 CR13. A right-of-way is provided at the end of Buntwing Court to
D_ extend it if that were the desire of the City. If that connection
occurred, it is estimated that 100-200 daily trips might utilize this
connection to travel south on CR13 or use it as an alternative access
to Douglas Road. However, it is not the developer's desire to make
this connection.
Comment ll.c) refers to the sight distance issue at the
Gregory/Abbotsford intersection. The issue is in regard to sight
lines to the west along Gregory Road for a vehicle that is stopped
on Abbotsford. In previous discussions and memoranda, I pointed out
that there was a sight line constraint due to foliage blocking the
line of sight to the right (west). A site visit was made on May 21,
1999 to this intersection. The sight line constraint does not exist
at the present time with a driver location 10 feet from Gregory Road.
However, the further back from Gregory Road, the more the foliage
0 begins to block the sight line. If the property owner allows this
a:foliage to grow into the sight triangle, it is important that the
w
governmental entity (Larimer County) take steps to ensure proper
i sight lines. This situation should be carried out regardless of the
Z Hearthfire development. Sight lines are adequate to the left (east)
W of the Gregory/Abbotsford intersection.
