SITE LOCATION Figure 1
Figure 7 shows the long range (2010) peak hour traffic at the
key intersections. This project assumes full development of
Windtrail, and development of the Centre for Advanced Technology,
Parcel J as a townhome residential use. It is expected that there
will be a connection to Centre Avenue to the east of Windtrail.
The vehicles using this connection would likely be minimal (15-
30%). Based upon previous traffic studies for the Centre for
Advanced Technology, there will be excess capacity on Centre Avenue
to handle any vehicles that may use this route.
At this level of development, it is likely that a signal would;
be warranted at the Shields/Rolland Moore/Parcel J Access;
intersection: This intersection will likely meet a combination of
warrants. The City has been considering a signal at this location
due to the high seasonal activity at Rolland Moore Park. When this
connection to Shields occurs, it is recommended that the Shields/
Shire intersection either be closed or restricted to right -in/
right -out. I£ no median is placed on Shields Street, then closure
is recommended. It is further recommended that when Parcel J is
developed, a connection to Shire Court be made similar to that
indicated in Appendix D. This will allow convenient access to the
signal at Shields/Rolland Moore/Parcel J Access intersection from
Windtrail, Hill Pond, and Sundering Townhomes.
Table 4 shows the peak hour operation at the key intersections
using the Figure 7 traffic projections. Calculation forms are
provided in Appendix E. The Shields/Rolland Moore/Parcel J Access
intersection will operate acceptably. Minor street left turns at
the Shields/Hill Pond intersection will continue to experience
level of service E operation. However, the left turns from the
east side of Shields will have alternative routes to the Shields/
Rolland Moore/Parcel J Access signal or to Centre Avenue to the
east.
Conclusions
This study analyzed the impacts of the development of land to
the east of Hill Pond and Sundering Townhomes. The sight line
constraints at the Shields/Hill Pond intersection should be
corrected. With this additional development, operation at the key
intersections will be acceptable, except for minor street left
turns in the short and long range futures. A signal will likely
be warranted when the Parcel J Access to Shields Street is made.
When this occurs, Shire Street should either be closed or access
should be limited. It is recommended that Shire Court be connected
to the Parcel J street system.

N, ft
northbound vehicles on Shields Street, particularly those in the
right lane. To the north, there is a street tree with multiple
trunks. These multiple trunks cause a sight line constraint to see
the southbound traffic on Shields Street from a stopped vehicle on
Hill Pond Road. 'jSIh`do these are ,existing problems.; .they should be
corrected. , ;JM�ino�r ad,�.ustment of, the median treatment, and removal
of the°multiple trunk street tree will improve these sight lines.
Figure 4 shows the recent traffic counts along Shields Street
and at key intersections. All of these intersections have full -
movements and stop sign control. Since these counts were performed
in different years, they were adjusted and balanced to depict a
1993 peak hour condition. This is shown in Figure 5. These key
intersections operate as indicated in Table 1. Calculation forms
are provided in Appendix B. Minor street left turns experience
significant delays during the peak hours. This level of service
is primarily due to the high peak hour volumes on Shields Street.
This type of operation is common at stop sign controlled
intersections along arterial streets.
Table 2 shows the trip generation from the Windtrail on Spring
Creek PUD. The initial phase of development will be the Windtrail
Townhomes in Parcel B. This parcel will be included in the short
range analysis. Development of Parcels A, B, and C were included
in the long range analysis. The trip generation was estimated
using Trip Generation, 5th Edition, ITE as a reference.
The short range trip distribution was assumed to be similar
to that reflected in the latest traffic counts performed at the
Shields/Hill Pond and Shields/Shire intersections. This is 60
percent to/from the north along Shields Street and 40 percent
to/from the south along Shields Street. The long range trip
distribution assumed that the travel patterns would modify
somewhat, reflecting increased development in the southern portion
of Fort Collins. The long range distribution used 55% to/from the
north and 45% to/from the south.
Figure 6 shows the short range (1995) peak hour traffic at the
key intersections. This projection assumes that the background
traffic on Shields Street will increase at the rate of 1 percent
per year. This assignment assumes that access to Shields Street
will continue at the Hill Pond and Shire intersections. The
Shields/Rolland Moore intersection was not included in this
analysis, since the east leg will not likely be completed in the
short range future. aBased upon�thes�Fet�raffiic projections, signals
will not be warranted!IV .either analyzed iht,ersection'
Table 3 shows the operation at the key intersections using the
traffic shown in Figure 6. Calculation forms are provided in
Appendix C. The operation at the key intersections will not be
significantly different than the current operation. Minor street
left turns will continue to experience delays.

MEMORANDUM
To: John McCoy
Kay Force, Jim Sell Design
Fort Collins Staff
From: Matt Delich
Date: December 6, 1993
Subject: Windtrail on Spring Creek PUD traffic study
(File: 9390MEM1)
This memorandum documents the findings of various traffic
analyses related to the development of the Windtrail on Spring
Creek PUD. The location of Windtrail is east of Shields
Street and south of Spring Creek. Figure 1 shows the location
of the site in the City of Fort Collins. Figure 2 shows a
schematic of the site plan of Windtrail on Spring Creek PUD.
Windtrail on Spring Creek PUD presently contains approximately
31.15 acres. The "College Park Student Apartments and Hill
Pond Single Family Site Access Study," September 1991,
evaluated the traffic impacts with development of this
property as a single family detached development. That
proposal contained 110 dwelling units. The current proposal
is for 65 single family detached dwelling units and 37
townhome dwelling units. This memorandum acts as an addendum
to the site access study. This study addresses the impacts
of Parcel B (the Windtrail Townhomes), shown in Figure 2, in
the short range (1995) future, and full development of Parcels
A, B, and C in the long range future.
The analyses contained in this memorandum assume that the
Spring Creek Village, as approved by the Fort Collins P & Z
Board, will be implemented by 1995. In the short range
future, the access to Parcel B will continue to be via Hill
Pond Road and Shire Court. With development of Parcels A and
C, it is expected that street connections will be made to
Shields Street at the Rolland Moore Park intersection and to
the street system within the Centre for Advanced Technology.
A schematic of the future street system is shown in Figure 3.
Parcel J of the Centre for Advanced Technology Amended Master
Plan (provided in Appendix A) is assumed to be developed as
medium density townhomes. The density used in this analysis
was 6.0 dwelling units per acre (190 D.U.), which is
compatible with the other townhome areas adjacent to it.
At the Shields/Hill Pond intersection (east leg), there
are sight line constraints for vehicles entering Shields
Street. The median separating the inbound and outbound lanes
on Hill Pond Road creates a minor sight line constraint to the
south. The minor street vehicle must "inch" out to see

the planned unit development be negotiated between the
developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior
to the second monthly meeting (March 28, 1994) of the Planning
and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned
unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if
not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent
monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time.
The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it
shall first find that there exists with respect to said
planned unit development final plan certain specific unique
and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of
the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique
hardship upon the owner or developer of such property and
provided that such extension can be granted without
substantial detriment to the public good.
If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to
be included in the development agreement, the developer may
present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such
presentation is made at the next succeeding or second
succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table
any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have
had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the
Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects
to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this
condition until the date such decision is made).
If this condition is not met within the time established
herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final
approval of this planned unit development shall become null
and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for
this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date
that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the
vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of
time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2,
Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decisionlo
of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of
this conditional approval; however, in the event that the
dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding
provisions to be included in the development agreement, the
running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final
decision" shall be counted from the date of the Board's
decision resolving such dispute.

As mentioned, the Transportation is searching for funding for a
traffic signal at Hill Pond and Shields Street. This signal will
alleviate the delays in making a left turn to and from the site.
In addition, future plans call for the closure of the Shields
Street/Shire Court intersection after a local street connection is
made from Windtrail to the south into Tract J of the C.A.T. This
connection would ultimately align with the existing intersection of
Rolland Moore Park access and Shields Street. This future
connection is acknowledged by CSURF, owner of Tract J of C.A.T.
This intersection of Shields Street and Rolland Moore access would
be eligible for a traffic signal when warranted.
As can be seen, future development will be planned to provide
additional access points for Windtrail P.U.D. to the east and
south. Until this development occurs, access to Shields Street
will be gained via Hill Pond Road and Shire Court. In the short
term, until a traffic signal is installed, these arterial/local
street intersections will operate at level of service C/D with
delays for left turn exits onto Shields Street during the peak
times.
The traffic impacts associated with Windtrail P.U.D. have been
reviewed by the Transportation Department and found acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION:
In reviewing the request for Wind Trail Townhomes, Final P.U.D.,
Staff finds the following facts to be true:
1. Wind Trail Townhomes Final complies with the Overall
Development Plan.
2. Wind Trail Townhomes Final is in substantial conformance with
the Preliminary P.U.D.
3. The Final P.U.D. satisfies the All Development Criteria and
Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S.
4. The Final P.U.D. is found to be compatible with the
surrounding area.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of Windtrail Townhomes, Final
P.U.D., #66-93A, subject to the following condition:
1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit
development final plan upon the condition that the development
agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D., plans for

Privacy fences will be limited to patios with style, color, and
material matching the exterior material of the dwelling.
An eight foot wide, concrete, bicycle/pedestrian path will connect
the project to the Spring Creek Trail to the north.
6. Resource Protection:
There is a 1.83 acre wetland located just south of the P.U.D. This
area will remain undisturbed except for a small portion where Hill
Pond Road is anticipated to be extended east to serve the balance
of the property. The potential disturbance to the wetland has been
reviewed by the Army Corps of Engineers which has issued a
Nationwide Permit as authorized by Section 404 of federal Clean
Water Act. The wetland area will be protected during construction
by fencing. The protection of wetland area and the disturbance of
a small area have been reviewed by the City's Department of Natural
Resources and found acceptable.
7. Solar Orientation:

This exceeds the required minimum of
A traffic impact analysis was performed for the 35 acre tract in
conjunction with Hill Pond East Preliminary P.U.D. in 1992. This
traffic study assumed single family development for 112 single
family homes. This assumed build -out closely approximates the land
use of Windtrail P.U.D. and the 112 single family homes would
likely exceed the potential build -out of Windtrail.
As mentioned, both Hill Pond Road and Shire Court are local
streets. Hill Pond Road would be extended to serve the site.
Future plans for Hill Pond Road call for further extension to the
east to an ultimate intersection with future Centre Avenue, a
collector street connecting Prospect Road with the Centre for
Advanced Technology. The timing of construction of Centre Avenue
is unknown.

4. Neighborhood Compatibility:
A neighborhood meeting was held September 2, 1993. Two primary
issues surfaced at the Preliminary P.U.D. stage.
First, since the neighborhood meeting and the Preliminary P.U.D.
approval on November 15, 1993, the City's Department of Natural
Resources has decided not to pursue acquisition of any portion of
this area on the O.D.P. for open space purposes. The potential
acquisition was not a part of the Wind Trail Townhomes Final P.U.D.
but located further north along the Spring Creek corridor.
Second, there is a concern about traffic on the local streets and
the difficulty in exiting out onto Shields Street. Windtrail
Townhomes will gain access to Shields Street via Hill Pond Road and
Shire Court. These two local streets intersect with Shields
without the benefit of a traffic signal. Left turn exits onto
Shields during the peak hours are difficult. This condition is
found city-wide where minor local streets, controlled only by a
stop sign, intersect with arterial streets.
According to the traffic study, the level of service at these two
stop sign controlled intersections is expected to be C/D. The
expected delay for left turns onto Shields Street ranges from 18 to
34 seconds during peak hours. Signals along Shields positively
affect delays by introducing gaps in the northbound and southbound
through traffic. This range of delay occurs at numerous stop sign
controlled intersections in Fort Collins and is generally accepted.
With good signal progression on Shields Street, the operation of
left turns will be improved due to the gaps in traffic that are
created by platoon flow. Signals are not expected at Hill Pond
Road and Shire Court intersections.
Since Preliminary approval, Transportation Department has indicated
that a traffic signal is warranted at the Hill Pond/Shields
intersection. The timing of installation is dependent on securing
funding sources. It is anticipated that this signal will be
installed in 1995.
5. Design:
The townhomes are divided into duplexes, three-plexes, with one
stand-alone (unit 11). All but three units (35, 36, 37) gain
access from two cul-de-sacs. These two cul-de-sacs feature
landscape islands with parking bays to accommodate guest and
overflow parking.

1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: R-P; Vacant (Tract B Windtrail on Spring Creek O.D.P.)
S: R-P; Vacant (Tract J Centre for Advanced Technology O.D.P.)
E: R-P; Vacant (Tract A Windtrail on Spring Creek O.D.P.)
W: R-P; Multi -family (Sundering Townhomes)
This 6.23 acre tract is part of a larger 94 acre tract known as
Hill Pond on Spring Creek Master Plan approved by the City Council
in 1980. This original Master Plan was divided by Spring Creek.
After approvals for Hill Pond and Sundering Townhomes, south of
Spring Creek, a 35 acre tract remained. In August of 1992, a
Preliminary P.U.D., known as Hill Pond East, was approved on these
remaining 35 acres for single family residential. The subject 6.23
acres are a part of these 35 acres.
The Preliminary P.U.D. was approved on November 15, 1993.
2. Land Use:
A. Overall Development Plan
The 6.23 acres are included in the 35 acre Windtrail on Spring
Creek Overall Development Plan, approved on November 15, 1993. The
site is identified on the O.D.P. as Tract B and designated as
"Medium Density Residential (Townhomes)". The proposed P.U.D.,
therefore, is in conformance with this Overall Development Plan.
B. Residential uses Point Chart
As a P.U.D., the request for 37 townhomes on 6.23 acres,
representing a density of 5.9 dwelling units per acre, was reviewed
by the Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. The project
earns a score of 65% on the point chart. Points were earned for
being within 4,000 feet of an existing regional shopping center,
being within 3,500 feet of an existing community park, and being
within 3,000 feet of a major employment center. In addition, the
project earns credit for being contiguous to Hill Pond and
Sundering Townhomes to the west. In summary, the score of 65% on
the Residential Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. supports the
proposed density of 5.9 dwelling units per acre at this location.
