Dear Stephen,
The staff has reviewed
for the expansion of the
the following comments:
the application for administrative site plan approval
Hewlett-Packard Fort Collins Building 6, and offers
1. Attached is a letter from the State of Colorado Division of Highways. In
that letter they indicate certain needed street improvements.. I would
recommend that you contact Wally Jacobson of the Division of Highways
for more specific information. I would recommend that we meet with
Rick Ensdorff, City Traffic Engineer before you meet with the State to
discuss these requirements.
2. The City's Traffic Planning Department also has some concerns regard-
ing street and access to the site, including future signalization of County
Road 9 and Harmony Road. We would like to meet with you to discuss
these issues.
3. The proposed parking dimensions appear to conflict with the City parking
guidelines in terms of stall length and aisle width.
4.
The applicant needs to assure the City's Water Utilities Department that the
proposed addition will not increase their developed area to an excess of
62.5 acres, as per the original services agreement between HP and the City.

Dear Mr. Frank:
Larimer Co., S.H. 66
Hewlett-Packard Expansion
E. of C.R. 9 and
N. of S.H. 68
DOH File 45100
We have reviewed the Hewlett-Packard Expansion (Building 6) and the 8/88
"Hewlett-Packard Facility Expansion Site Access Study" by Matt Delich, P.E.
Tne expansion of the H-P facility will generate -sufficient additional
traffic at the existing main access and the existing limited -use east
access to S.H. 68 to require conformance of these access approaches to the
State Highway Access Code. In this case, conformance involves.bringing
the exist' L-lanes at eacli access up to the design fit" n� lords._ -of, the
Code. This will mean that the/existing median left -turn deceleration
lanes =d_tQ_be-.., n thened to serve _e_ projected increase in traffic.
Also, he right -turn acceleration and deceleration lanes would need to be
leng_ thened. Due to the distance between the County Road 9 and the east
H-P access, and the required length of these lanes according to the Code,
3J a continuous right -turn lane would be necessary to improve roadway
consistency, safety, and to maintain edge continuity.
This facility expansion will also impact the intersection of C.R. 9
.and S.H. 68. Conformance of this public intersection to the Code is the
responsibility of the appropriate local authority. Turn lane improvements,
double left -turn lane on S.H. 68.for e th
,_joxlg=,mange
tra�ld be considered by the City and/or,_CQunt_to mazntn an
accce bevel of service. In addition, funds for traffic signals at C.R. 9
.end the two u-B--arc--sapproaches to S H. 68 should be given consideration so
that signals can be installed when they are warranted by actual traffic volumes.
� The improvements to the accesses on S.H. 68 will require an Access Permit.
�2 1 Application for this permit is e to the City of o ins.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. Please contact
_Wally Jacobson at 350-2168 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
