MEMORANDUM
TO. Stan Whitaker, G.T. Land Colorado
Eldon Ward, Cityscape
Tess Jones, CDOT
Sherri Wamhoff, Fort Collins Engineering Department
Eric Bracke, Fort Collins Traffic Engineer
Mitch Hass, Fort Collins Planning Department
FROM: Matt Delich _W�MD
DATE: November 11, 1996
SUBJECT: Interstate Land, Lot 8 - Turn Lanes
(File: 9536MEM4)
At the request of Eldon Ward and Tess Jones, I have
analyzed whether Interstate Land, Lot 8 (John's Harley
Davidson) will cause a >20% increase in the turning volumes
at the Prospect Road/Frontage Road intersection. Using the
1995 peak hour counts (factored to reflect 1996 conditions,
per my March 12, 1996 memorandum), only the westbound right -
turn lane volumes will increase >20% due to Lot 8 generated
traffic. Therefore, CDOT has the authority to require that
this auxiliary lane be built due to a change of use, per the
State Highway Access Code (SHAC).
As indicated in my previous traffic studies, this right -
turn lane, as well as the eastbound left -turn lane, are
required per the SHAC just based upon current traffic. The
developer has agreed to build these auxiliary lanes. The
construction of these lanes is assured through the development
agreement for Interstate Land, First Filing. However, it is
my understanding that this construction will be delayed until
later in 1997 to allow design coordination with and possible
participation by the adjacent property owners. This schedule
has been agreed to by the City of Fort Collins. Since this
is the case and since no hazards were observed during traffic
counting, it is requested that the right -turn lane
construction be delayed to coincide with construction of the
left -turn lane. This delay will have benefits to the City and
CDOT, since traffic will be disrupted during only one
construction program. It will have benefits to the developer,
since the construction mobilization will occur only one time.
