Prouty Lagunitas Company 3307 South College Avenue, Suite 200 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 re: Trip Generation for Indian Hills PUD Dear Jon: Per the requirements of the City of fort Collins Traffic Engineering Department, Krager and Associates has reviewed your PUD submittal for the proposed Indian Hills residential neighborhood. Our analysis is based on the proposal to construct 48 single-family homes on the south side of Stuart Street between Busch Court and Stover Street. Access would be provided by ollr, access point to Stuart Street. According to standard trip factors from the Institute of Transortation Engineers, this PUD can be expected to generate approximately 458 daily trips. The anticipated peak hour trip generation and distribution are shown in an attached graphic. To accommodate the new access to Stuart Street, it is desirable to re -stripe Stuart Street to include a left turn lane fov inbound traffic. In the PM peak hour, twelve vehicles air• expected to turn left from westbound Stuart Street into Indian Hills. This amount of traffic will require only a minimum left turn lane. By eliminating on -street parking on Stuart Street for approximately 440 feet, a 50-foot left turn lane can be provided. The on -street bike lanes are not impacted with this design. 1 have provided a sketch of the striping plan for the City's review. With the restriping of Stuart Street, the surrounding street system can safely accommodate the proposed development of Indian Hills PUD. If you, or City Staff, have any further questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, .......

Jon Prouty Lagunitas Company 3307 South College Avenue, Suite 200 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 Re: street Standards Variance File:2.43471j1 Dear Jon: I have carefully reviewed your street standards variance request to use seven -foot parking stalls within Indian Hills, and I am in support of this request for the following reasons: 1) The majority of cars on the road today are less than six feet in width. This type of vehicle can easily park in a seven foot parking area. 2) The use'of rolled curbs rather than vertical curbs will allow vehicles to park closer to the curb without.risk of tire damage. 3) The use of different paving material for the parking areas will assure the parking area is alwas easy to identify. This is a great advantage over paint stripes which -often wear away in parking areas before they can be repainted. 4) Numerous local jurisdictions allow seven -foot parking areas, including: Lakewood, Westminster, Boulder, and Arvada. The Institute of Transportation Engineers also identifies a seven - foot cross section for parking areas. Thus, this design is consistent with both local and national standards. It is my professional opinion that the street cross section you propose will be adequate to serve the traffic needs within Indian Hills.

Prouty Lagunitas Company 3307 South College Avenue, Suite 200 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 re: Street Variance Request file: 2.4347var2 Dear Jon: Per your request, I have reviewed your application for a variance to the City of Fort Collins residential street standards regarding the use of a public hammerhead turn -around at the southeast Local Access Street and the connection of a private driveway lane to the Northwest Local Access Street. Both the hammerhead turnaround and the private drive will serve six dwelling units each. Each of these streets can be expected to serve less than 60 vehicles per day. Due to the low volume of traffic projected for these street sections, the proposed designs are acceptable. The hammerhead turn -around is based on the Fort Collins Standard Street Dimensions for alleys. The use of alley standards is consistent with the low projected volume of traffic for this street section. The connection of the private driveway to Northwest Local Access Street is also consistent with the projected low volume of traffic. It is my understanding that the Home Owners Association will be responsible for maintenance of the private driveway and the design of the connection will provide a clear visual differentiation between the private driveway and the public street. I do not .believe that these variances will cause any..public health, safety, or welfare problems if approved. Sincerely, i
