Page 2 April 10, 2001
this figure, it was determined that a separate left -turn lane is not needed at the
proposed New Belgium Brewery access between 2nd and 3`d Street. However, after
discussing this matter with Eric Bracke, he requested that a short eastbound left -
turn lane be provided. He indicated that the left -turn lane only had to be about
75 feet in length.
4. Did not understand what Figure 1 (Buckingham Street Access Layout) was for since
it did not match anything proposed and the City would not support it.
• This figure was provided to show how a left -turn lane would be situated along
Buckingham Street using the State of Colorado Access Code. This figure should
be disregarded.
• Since a short left -turn lane (75 feet) is being requested by the City of Fort Collins,
the proposed access can be placed halfway between 2nd and 3`d Street.
Transportation Planning
1. The TIS contains an adequate pedestrian, bicycle and mass transit analysis.
• No response is required.
2. The New Belgium Brewery will be responsible for constructing a sidewalk on the north
side of Buckingham Street and tie into the existing SW facilities on Buckingham.
• No response is required. The comment in the TIS was made to indicate that the
sidewalk to be constructed by the New Belgium Brewery will not be connected
into any existing sidewalks and that the City of Fort Collins will need to add some
additional sidewalks to connect up with the new sidewalks to be constructed by
New Belgium Brewery.
3. Does not support the offset access between 2" and 3`d Street because it creates
dangerous turning and sight issues, particularly for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• See comments number three above.
4. Indicated that Redwood is a two-lane collector, not a two-lane arterial in the City's
MSP.
• If the City of Fort Collins wants a revised traffic report, the text will be changed
to reflect this designation.
5. Wants to see cross-section of improvements proposed for Buckingham.
• Figure 7 depicts how Buckingham Street would appear with a left -turn lane. This
cross-section also shows a separate westbound left -turn lane as well. This is
being done to provide balance in both directions. An on -street bike lane is also
shown in both directions.

I have reviewed the City of Fort Collins comments dated February 21, 2001 and offer the
following responses:
Engineering
1. Community Center and Pre -Treatment Wastewater facility are not addressed in TIS.
• It is assumed that some of the employees from the existing brewery operation will
staff the pre-treatment wastewater facility and therefore will not generate any
additional vehicle -trips. The community center will be rented out for meetings
and may have a very small staff. Since the center will not have regular use, it was
excluded from the analysis. ".
• The ITE Trip Generation Manual does not include any information for a water
treatment facility or a community center/meeting room. If the City of Fort Collins
would like these two activities included in the traffic impact study, LSC will need
some guidance from the City as to the AM and PM peak -hour trip.generation rates
we should use.
2. Indicates that if the development includes anything other than warehousing and
manufacturing another traffic study would be required.
• No response is required.
3. 2' Street is not aligned in the ODP but is in the TIS. TIS was supposed to discuss the
turning movements at 2nd and 3rd Streets.
• The attached Figures 1 through 6 identify the site -generated, background, and
total AM and PM peak -hour traffic volumes for 2005 and 2020. As can be seen
in these figures, the proposed new access is approximately halfway between 2nd
and 3`d Street.
• The City of Fort Collins Traffic staff (Eric Bracke) indicated that, rather than use
CDOT's Access Code for determining the need for a left -turn lane, LSC should use
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 279 - Intersection
Channelization Design Guide. LSC used Figure 4-12 from the NCHRP report to
analyze the need for a left -turn lane at the proposed new access point. Based on
