Dear Ms. Ripley:
We have reviewed the Timan P.U.D. Master Plan and Parcel "A" Plat, and we
have the following comments:
1. Projected traffic on S.H. 287 indicates the need for a 140-foct total right
of way, 70 feet each side of the highway centerline. Since the total right
of way width along this property is 50 feet west of the centerline, additional
width to meet the projected need should be protected by reservation or,
preferably, dedication, as permitted by City regulations.
2. The Master Plan shows a total of four proposed access points on S.H. 287
between the existing Trilby Road and Skyway Drive intersections. Trilby Rd.
and Skyway Dr. are located on one-half mile intervals. This spacing is
consistent with criteria in the State Highway Access Code. A traffic
engineering analysis is required for any proposed access which may warrant a
traffic signal and is not located on the one-half mile interval. We question
the need for any access between the two existing public intersections, unless
the need for additional access can be demonstrated by the traffic analysis.
In addition, an access control plan for S.H. 287, including this area of
Ft. Collins, is to be conducted for the City in the near future. It would be
desirable to defer any decisions on access to this property until that study is
complete.
3. The Master Plan for this development indicates that surface runoff flows toward
the highway drainage system. That system is for the protection of the state
highway right of way and is not intended to acco=,odate drainage from abutting
properties beyond that which has historically been accepted. Therefore, we ask
that on -site detention of surface runoff be provided so that the historical
runoff rate will not be exceeded due to this development.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this P.U.D. Please contact
Wally Jacobson at 350-2168 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
