Dear Bob,
I have reviewed the First Choice Bank proposal and offer the
following comments. I met with Tom Vosburg and Alex Ariniello
regarding this development on August 11, 1994. We reviewed a site
plan (which they provided) and the traffic impact this development and
related street additions could have upon the state highway. I made
some suggestions to Tom and Alex regarding the improvements to College
Avenue which include a right deceleration lane. We discussed the
additional investigations that the City should require in order to
properly plan and permit improvements at the Horsetooth Road
intersection. Tom provided me a portion of t'he Traffic'Analysis which
was completed by Leigh, Scott and Cleary. I am in basic agreement
with the presentation of conclusions for this development presented in
that study. Based upon the volume increase due to construction of the
bank, improvements proposed to the Horsetooth/College intersection are
not required by the State Highway Access Code, although improvements
are desirable. Any changes require the issuance of a State Highway
Access Permit which should.be issued by the State to the City. The
City or the developer may be the applicant. I had a phone message
from Kerrie Ashbeck of the City on August 16, 1994 regarding the
question of permit. I have not been able to contact her as I have
been away from the office. I am providing her a copy of this
correspondence in response to her question. Further review of the
improvements is required with City personnel. Please discuss details
of our August 11, 1994 review with Tom Vosburg of the City's
Transportation Division.
My comments are based upon the submittal as received August 2,
1994 and upon my August 11, 1994 meeting. I apologize for not meeting
the August 12th deadline and hope that the timing of my comments has
not posed a problem for the City planning process. The City may
provide this correspondence to Mr. Ariniello if you choose.
