Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Rick, For the record, and on behalf our client, Jeffrey B. Timan, we wish to describe the impact upon his property, of the draft South College Access Control Plan, dated November 14th, 1988. 1. Potential signalised intersection at Skyway, Page 2. The study identifies the need for signals at this intersection. We agree with the study. 2. Potential signalised intersection, 600 feet north of the centerline of Trilbv Road. The study identifies the need for signals at this intersection. We agree with the need for signals in the general location. However, we wish to point out that to achieve optimum land use efficiency (i.e. a shopping center is master planned along the College frontage from Trilby to this signalised intersection) the signals need to be located about 750 feet north of the centerline of Trilby Road. We believe that efficient signal timing will still be achieved at this location. We therefore ask that the draft study be amended to incorporate this. 3. Right -in / Right -out / Left -in Access Points at specified locations, Page The study does not include in this category the intersection immediately south of Skyway Drive. Please refer below to item #4. 4. Right -in / Right -out Access Points at specified locations, Page 4. The study includes in this category the intersection 1000 feet south of the centerline of Skyway Drive. land planning • architecture 2900 S.Colkcge Avenue Fort Cullins.Colorado.80525 (303) 223-2808 0 C7 Mr. Rick Einsdorf Page Two We do not agree with this categorization. We request that this intersection be a Right -in, Right -out, Left -in Access Point, and also, that it be relocated further north, approx. 700 feet south of Skyway Drive. This is so that the Timan Property can be efficiently planned from a land - use and traffic access point of view, and the 'wetlands'/open space area, shown on the Timan Master Plan, be undisturbed by the development of this street off College Avenue. We therefore ask that the draft study be amended to incorporate this. 5. Right -in / Right -out Access Point, approximately 500 feet north of Trilb intersection. The draft study does not itemise this intersection as one of its specified locations, Pages 3 & 4. We do not agree with this omission. The Timan P.U.D. Master Plan Traffic Study states in the executive summary that "this access will operate acceptably as a right -in, right -out access point". We therefore ask that the draft study be amended to incorporate this intersection. We are concerned that Page 2, Access Points, "identifies the location of all future access points", and that Page 4, Design Standards, states that "a change in access location or access type from those identified in the Access Control plan will require an amendment to the intergovernmental agreement authorizing this plan". We therefore request that the changes described in this letter be made to the draft Access Plan prior to its final ratification by the Fort Collins City Council. We also request that copies of this letter be made available to the members of the Planning & Zoning Board for this evenings meeting.
