PROJECT PLANNER: Linda Ripley
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a master plan request for approximately 53
acres consisting of retail, business service and office uses located on the west
side of South College Avenue between Skyway Drive and Trilby Road, zoned
B-P Planned Business with a PUD condition.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The intent of the Timan master plan is to give an
indication of potential land uses and to establish access and future traffic
circulation patterns within the development. The plan proposes approximately
645,000 square feet of development consisting of retail, office and warehouse
land uses. The proposed access and circulation pattern is in conformance with
the recently completed South College Access Control Plan. Significant natural
resources in the master planned area include two wetland areas and several
mature cottonwood trees. It is the intent of the master plan to preserve the
trees and utilize the wetland areas for storm water detention and open space.

COMMENTS
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: C-Commercial (County); Restaurant; Hickory House
FA -Farming (County); Single Family; Skyview Acres Subdivision
S: C-Commercial County); Retail; High Country Pools
FA -Farming (County); Undeveloped
E: C-Commercial (County); Retail; Kelmar Strip Subdivision
W: FA -Farming (County); Foothills Gateway Rehabilitation Center
and Single Family; Skyview Acres Subdivision
The master planned area was annexed June 7, 1988.
2. Land Use:
Timan Master Plan is proposed to be a mixed use development providing
primarily retail/business service and office uses. The land use mix represented
on this plan is the applicant's best estimate of development potential. As
changes occur in the market place and as development of the project continues,
changes to the land use program may be requested.
The LAND USE POLICIES PLAN describes a regional/community shopping cen-
ter as a "cluster of retail and service establishments designed to serve consumer
demands from the community as a whole or larger." The retail /commercial
land uses proposed for Timan Master Plan would fall under this definition.
Under the locational criteria described in the plan, regional/community
shopping centers should locate in areas easily accessible to residential areas,
near transportation facilities that can offer the required access without
exceeding the capacity of the existing transportation network, where they can
be served by public transportation and in areas served by existing water and
sewer facilities. The master plan site addresses these locational policies.
The property was annexed with a condition that any development on the
property must be done as a planned unit development under the criteria of the
Land Development Guidance System.
3. Neighborhood Compatibility:
A neighborhood meeting was held March 24, 1988. The neighborhood's major
concerns centered around annexation and the City's planning process, the land
uses proposed, the site's natural resources and site specific design issues. A
summary of items discussed at the meeting is attached.

P & Z Meeting — December 19, 1988
Page 3
4. Design:
It is the owner's intent that the Timan P.U.D. Master Plan shall be designed
with a cohesive architectural and landscape theme, and not become a "strip"
development of individually incompatible buildings and landscapes. The
architectural forms, material and scale of buildings, and landscape design and
plant materials will be carefully planned to provide as much compatibility
throughout the 50 acre development as is consistent with the various land uses
proposed on the plan.
The planned road alignment and open space respond to the natural topography
of the land. The semi -circular drive, centrally located on the site encloses a
natural amphitheater with an existing wetland area planned to be preserved in
the center. The planning objectives indicate that the applicant intends to take
advantage of these site characteristics throughout the development process.
Mature cottonwood trees along the Louden Ditch will be preserved, although
the ditch itself may be realigned to create developable parcels of land. The
master plan indicates a landscape buffer along the western edge of the
property intended to buffer the residential and institutional land uses existing
to the west.
5. Transportation:
The master planned area will have access to three signalized intersections along
College Avenue. A traffic signal exists at College and Trilby Road, while the
State Highway Department plans to install one at Skyway Drive in the near
future. The South College Access Control Plan calls for an additional signal to
be located approximately 650 feet north of Trilby Road as indicated on the
Timan master plan. In addition there is a "right in/right out" access planned
approximately 700 feet south of Skyway Drive. Internal circulation is provided
by a centrally located, semi -circular street connecting to College Avenue at
both ends, with connector streets linking it to both Trilby Road and Skyway
Drive. The proposed access and circulation pattern is in conformance with the
recently completed South College Access Control Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
The land uses proposed are supported by the LAND USE POLICIES PLAN and
the proposed access and traffic circulation meets the city's objectives in regard
to South College Avenue, therefore, staff recommends approval of Timan P.U.D.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 Timan PUD Master Plan is a proposed development located
at the intersection of College Avenue and Trilby Road. This
traffic impact study involved the steps of trip generation,
trip distribution, trip assignment, capacity analysis,
traffic signal warrant analysis, signal progression analysis,
and accident analysis.
This study assessed the impacts of Timan PUD Master Plan
on the short range (1990) and long range (2010) street system
in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of
this analysis, the following is concluded:
' - The development of the Timan PUD Master Plan i
feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full
development as proposed, approximately 1?,500 trip ends will
' be generated at this site daily.
- Existing operation at the College/Trilby and College./
Skyway intersections are not acceptable with existing stop
' sign control. With the warranted signal at the College/
Trilby intersection, this intersection will operate
acceptably.
- By 1990, given development of Phase I of the Timan
PUD Master Plan and an increase in background traffic, the
signalized intersection of College and Trilby will operate
' acceptably, With stop sign control, the College/Skyway
intersection will operate unacceptably. It is recommended
that Skyt�,iay Drive be widened to provide for an eastbound
left -turn lane.
- By 2010, the College/Trilby intersection will operate
' acceptably during the peak hours with College Avenue as a six
lane street and a four lane cross section on Trilby Road.
Due to an expected high right -turn volume on westbound Trilby
Road, an exclusive right -turn lane improves the operation
significantly. Ulith full development, signals will likely be
warranted at the College/'Skyway intersection and the Col l eqe/
Access D intersection. Both of the signalized intersections
' will operate acceptably. The stop sign controlled Access A
and B will operate acceptably except for left -turn exits.
With separate right- and left -turn exit lanes, any delays
' which might occur will be confined to the loft -turn lane.
Exits from this area do have alternative means of egress.
The stop sign controlled Access F will operate acceptably.
- Signals at the College/Skyt�iay and College/Access D
intersections can fit into a progression band on College
Avenue. The Access D intersection could be placed 550-650
' feet north of Trilby Road for better signal progression along
College Avenue.
II
The proposed stop sign controlled limited turn
driveway access (Access C) to College Avenue will operate
acceptably. The following recommendations are made with
regard to this right-in/right-out access:
- The Access C to College Avenue does not significantly
affect the operation at other adjacent intersections.
Therefore, Access C cannot be justified from an
operations point of v i era.
- If Access. D is moved to the south, as was suggested
under the signal progression discussion, then the
space bett�.leen Trilby and Access D will not be long
enough to accommodate another access.
- Since the South College Access Plan will address this
and other access along College Avenue, final
determination should be determined as part of that
process.
- The recommended long range geometrics are shown in
Figure 14.
- With the recommended control geometric=_., the accident
rate should be at an acceptable level for typical urban
conditions.
I. INTRODUCTION
This site access study addresses the capacity,
geometric, and control requirements at and near a proposed
commercial development known hereinafter as the Timan PUD
' Master Plan. It is located at the intersection of College
Avenue and Trilby Road in Fort Collins, Colorado.
During the course of the analysis., numerous contacts
were made with the project planning consultant (')A-ught*Frye)
and the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering Department. This
study generally conforms to the format set forth in the
Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. The study involved the
fol 1 ow i ng steps:
' _ Collect physical, traffic and development data.
Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip
assignment.
' - Determine peak hour traffic volumes and daily traffic
volumes.
- Conduct capacity and operational level of service
analyses on key intersections and roaduiay sections.
Analyze signal warrants and signal progression.
-
Analyze potential changes in accidents and safety
considerations.
- Perform ivji th/vti thout analyses to evaluate the need
for selected accesses to this property.
I I . EXISTING CONDITIONS
' The location of the Timan PUD Master Plan is shot. -,in in
Figure 1. It is important that a thorough understanding of
the existing conditions be presented.
ILand Use
Land uses in the area are primarily either agricultural,
residential or commercial. Commercial development exists to
the east (across College Avenue) and north (across Skxvlay
Drive). Residential land use exists to the north, south, and
' vies.t . Some agricultural (grazing) land is west of the s i to .
The grazing use is sporatic and, as such, this land is
predominantly vacant. Land in the area is rolling t,iith the
' high point of a. ridge just west of this site. The center of
Fort Collins lies to the north of the Timan PUD Master Plan.

collector in the North Front Range Corridor Study. It i
currently a two lane road with a rural eshoulders) cross
section. The College/Trilby intersection has stop sign
control with College Avenue receiving the right-of-way. It
is expected that this intersection will be signalized this
summer. On the west approach to the College/Trilby
intersection, all movements are handled in a single lane. On
the east approach to the College/Trilby intersection, there
' is a right -turn lane and a left-turn/through lane. East of
the intersection, Trilby Road is posted at 30 mph and west of
the intersection, it is posted at 35 mph. Due to the grade
differences, sight distance should be checked at all proposed
accesses to Trilby Road. The nearest signal to this
intersection is at the College/Harmony intersection, two
miles to the north. There are no signals along Trilby Road.
' College Avenue (U.S. 287) borders the Timan PUD Master
Plan on the east. It is a north -south street designated as a
major arterial on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. In
this area, College Avenue has a four lane urban cross section
with a center turn lane. There are wide shoulder lanes on
' College Avenue, These shoulder lanes are striped as
acceleration and deceleration lanes at the College/Trilby
intersection. The existing speed limit is 55 mph. When the
signal is installed at the College/Trilby intersection, it is
' expected that the approach speeds on College Avenue will be
decreased to 45 mph. On the east side of College Avenue
(across from this site), there are many commercial uses with
almost each one having its own access to College Avenue.
This virtually uncontrolled access presents safety and
operational problems along College Avenue.
Skyway Drive is on the north side of the Timan PUD
Master Plan. It is a local street with a two lane rural
cross. section. There is a single lane approach to College
' Avenue from the west. From the east, a driveway access lines
up with Skyway Drive. Skyway increases in grade to the west
from College Avenue. The College -Skyway intersection is stop
sign controlled with College Avenue receiving the right-of-
tilay. Skyway Drive provides access to an established
residential subdivision to the west and north of the proposed
Timan PUD Master Plan.
Existing Traffic
' Daily traffic flow is shown in Figure 3. These are
machine counted volumes conducted by the Colorado Department
of Highways in 1983. Peak hour turning movements obtained in
' March 1988 are shown in Figure 4. Raw traffic count data is
provided in Appendix A. Figures 5 and 6 show the peak hour
turning movements. in 1984 and 1985, respectively. While
' individual movements vary, the sum of the intersection
approach volumes have not changed substantially over the past

fetal years. Based upon this stabilization of traffic over the
past few year., the background traffic for the short ra.nge
future was factored by one percent per year.
Existing Operation
The only two intersections which could be evaluated are
College/Trilby and Col 1 eqe/Skyt,iay. These intersections were
evaluated as stop sign controlled intersections with existing
geometric=_• using the volumes shown in Figure 4. The peak
hour operation is shown in Table 1. The calculation forms
are provided in Appendix B. Appendix C describes level of
service for signalized and unsignalized intersections from
the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. Since a signal will soon
be installed at the College/Trilby intersection, it was also
evaluated with signal control. This is also shown in Table
1. At the College/Skyway intersection and the College/Trilby
intersection with stop sign control, delays to specific
movements are due to the high volumes on College Avenue
rather than turning movements to or from the minor streets.
There is little, short of signalization, that can be done to
improve the operation. Movements which experience delays,
such as left -turn exits from the minor street, can be
isolated into exclusive lanes. This will confine the delays
to only those vehicles desiring to make a particular
movement. To accomplish this, widening would be necessary on
the minor street approaches. With signalization, the
College/Trilby intersection will operate acceptably.
III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The Timan PUD Master Plan is a proposed mired use
commercial development located at the intersection of College
Avenue and Trilby Road in Fort Collins. Figure 7 shows a
schematic of the site plan of the Timan PUD Plaster Plan
indicating the uses shown in Table 2, Trip Generation. The
Phase 1 (short range) analysis used 1990 traffic, projected
to increase at one percent per year for College Avenue. No
1995 analysis vlas performed since this development is
proposed as a master plan. Other than the Phase 1 parcel,
the proposed uses are somewhat speculative. The long range
analysis (2010) included full site development with the
traffic volumes indicated in the North Front Range Corridor
Study. When more definitive uses are proposed for other
parcels, a brief update of the traffic study should be
prepared which evaluates those uses and how they relate to
the master plan.

Trip Generation
Trip generation
is important in considering
the impact
of a. development such
as this upon the existing
and proposed
'
street system. A compilation
t,ias prepared by the Institute
of trip generation
of Transportation
information
Engineers in
1976, updated in 15'83,
and was used to project
trips that
would be generated by
the proposed uses at this
site. Table
2 shows the expected
trip generation on a daily
and peak hour
'
basis.
' No adjustments were made for transit or ridesharing.
Therefore, the trip generation can be considered
conservatively high.
Trip Distribution
' Two directional distributions of the generated trips
viere determined for the Tima.n PUD Master Plan. Distributions
from the commercial uses used population as the attraction
variable in the gravity model. Future year (1990 and 2010)
data was obtained from information supplied by the Fort
Collins Planning Department. For the Phase 1 (1990)
analysis, the distribution is shown in Figure S; and for the
' long range (2010) analysis, the distribution is shoran in
Figure 9.
' Several land use generators such as shopping centers,
drive-in (fast food) restaurants, service stations,
convenience markets, and other support services (banks, etc.)
capture trips from the normal traffic passing -by the site.
For many of these trips, the stop at the site is a secondary
part of a 1 i nked trip such as from work to shopping center to
home. In all of these cases, the driveway volumes at the
' site are higher than the actual amount of traffic added to
the adjacent street system, since some of the site generated
traffic was already counted in the adjacent street traffic.
' A pass -by factor of 25%* was applied to the newly generated
trips.
' The procedure used to account for both pass -by traffic
and primary destination traffic is as follows:
* This pass -by factor was obtained by averaging pass -by
' factors from the following sources:
1. Transportation Engineering Design Standards, City of
Lakevlood. June 1955.
' 2. Development and Application of Trip Generation Rates,
FHWA/USDOT, January 1955.
3. "A Methodology for Consideration of Pass -by Trips in
' Traffic Impact Analyses for Shopping Centers," Smith, S.,

Estimate the trip generation rate as is currently done and
determine the total number• of trips forecast to occur,
based on the size of the development.
- Estimate the percentage of pass -by trips, and split the
total number of trips into two components, one for pass -by
trips and one for new trips.
- Estimate the trip distributions for the tvio individual
components. The distribution of pass -by trips must
reflect the predominant commuting directions on adjacent
and nearby roadvia.y fac i 1 i t i es. Most peak period pass -by
trips are an intermediate link in a work trip.
- Conduct two separate trip assignments, one for pass -by
trips and one for• new trips. The distribution for pass -by
trips will require that trips be subtracted from some
intersection approaches and added back in to others.
Typically, this will involve reducing through -roadway
volumes and increasing certain turning movements.
- Combine the assigned trips to yield the total link
loadings, and proceed with capacity analysis as normally
done.
Traffic Projections
Traffic projections for the short range time period were
obtained by factoring the existing traffic by 101 percent per
year to obtain the expected traffic in 1990 given an average
rate of land development in the immediate area. This traffic
is identified as background traffic which passes by the site
on both College and Trilby. Figure 10 shows the expected
1990 daily traffic considering the site generated traffic and
the background traffic.
For 20+ year projections (year 2010), the usual source
for projections is the Traffic Flow Map as provided by the
City. Hot&iever, the 1 ast Tr•aff i c Fl ow Map pr•ov i des
projections for only the year• 2000. Therefore, an estimation
was made of traffic in this area by the year• 2010 using the
latest Traffic Flow Map and the knowledge of what has been
occurring and what is expected to occur in this area of Fort
Collins. Information developed for the North Front Range
Corridor Study was also u t i l i zed in these projections. These
daily projections are shown in Figure 1 1 .
Trip Assignment
Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed
trips ar•e expected to be loaded on the street system. The
assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution
process. Figure 12 shows the short range morning peak hour•
assignment and the afternoon peak hour• assignment of the
Timan PUD Master• Plan generated traffic plus background
traffic. Figure 13 shows the long range peak hour assignment

2010 PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC FIGURE 13
of the Timan PUD Master Plan generated traffic plus
background traffic. These assignments assume access
driveways at locations proposed by either the developer or
site planner.
Signal Warrants
1 As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed
at any location unless warrants are met according to the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Hoviever, it is
possible to determine whether traffic_ signal warrants are
likely to be met based upon estimated ALIT and utilizing the
chart and/or peak hour 4tilarrants shown in Appendix D. Using
the peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 12, it is not
' likely that traffic signal warrants will be met at the
Col 1 ege.rSky1r.1a.>, intersection . Traffic should be monitored to
determine when or if traffic signal warrants are met. The
warrant analysis assumes full turns at the Col 1 ege/Skyl.,jay
intersection. t�,Iithout a signal at this intersection, left
turns from Skyway are at unacceptable operational levels of
' service due to the high volumes on College Avenue.
Using the peak hour volumes shown in Figure 13, it i
1 i kel y that traffic signal warrants wi 1 1 be met at the
' Col 1 ege/Skyt,,ia.y and College/Access D intersections. Traffic
should be monitored to determine when traffic signal warrants
will be met. This will likely occur when the majority of the
proposed retail uses are developed.
Signal Progression
Signal progression was evaluated prior to intersection
operational analysis in order to determine whether a signal
at the Col 1 ege/Skyt,aay and College/Access D intersections
should even be considered. The State Highway Access Code
states that this. analysis is necessary for all future or
proposed signals along a. state hight,,lay. In this area, U.S.
287 is a Category 3 highway. The analysis requires that
progression be possible along U.S. 2S7 !ti�ith a desirable
bandwidth of 40 percent (minimum 30 percent). A speed of 45
mph or the posted speed where less than 45 mph should be
used. The analysis should include signals one mile north and
south of the evaluated signal location. The analyses
1 included in this report shop,•! progression diagrams from
Trilby to Harmony (two miles). They do not include signals
south of Trilby since the nearest anticipated signal is one
mile to the south at County Road 32. The City of Fort
' Collins is anticipating to develop an access plan for College
Avenue from Swallow Road to Trilby Road. This area would be
included in that access plan. However, the timing of that
' work is after the submittal date for this project.
Therefore, access to this site was evaluated as part of this
site access plan. It is anticipated that the recommendations
regarding access to this site t,,lill be similar to those from
the South College Avenue Access Plan when it is completed.
The technique used in the signal progression analysis
' vitas a computer program called Signal Progression Analysis
(SPAN) prepared by the University of Florida Transportation
Research Center. Its main functions include:
- Interactive entry of arterial system data.
- Display a time location diagram which provides
' graphical representation of the quality of arterial
progression.
- Printing of a time -space diagram to show the quality
of progression.
- Optimization of signal offsets for arterial pro-
gression.
The program inputs are:
- Intersection location
- Cycle length
Phasing
Offsets
- Speed
Any or all of these inputs can be changed iteratively in
achieving the optimal progression.
College Avenue data for anticipated signals to the south
of Harmony Road vias obtained through review of previous
traffic reports in the area. Proiected traffic was used to
determine phasing at Harmony, Trilby, and site intersections.
Estimated traffic was used at other intersections to
determine phasing. In lieu of actual phasing and offset
1 data, this is the most reasonable means of determining the
signal phasing. The evaluation was made w.)i th and w,vi thout a
signal at Access D. The signal progress -ion on College Avenue
vlas analyzed based upon the following criteria:
' - Cycle length of 120-130 seconds. (as determined by
1956 progression analyses for the City of Fort
' Collins). -
Speed of 45 mph. (CDH policy of using 45 mph as a
maximum in areas where signals are anticipated)
' - Mainline (College Avenue) G/C Ratio
Harmony G/C 0.46 Off Peak, G/C = 0.55 AM/PM Peak
Fossil Creek Parkway G/C = 0.75 Off Peak, G/C =
' 0.70 AM/PM Peak -
Skyway G/C = 0.75 Off Peak, G/C: = 0.75 AM/PM Peak
Access D G/C 1.00 (no signal), G/C 0.75 Off
Peak, G/C 0.70 API/PM Peak
' Trilby G/C = 0.60 Off Peak, G/C = 0.55 AM/PM Peak
- Green time on the cross street is greater than the
pedestrian crossing time of the mainline at 4 feet
'
per second.
- Achieve the largest bandwidth possible along College.
'
In accordance with the State Highway Access Code, the
expected posted speed of 45 mph was used. An off peak cycle
length of 120 seconds and a AM/PM cycle length of 130 seconds
were used in these analyses..
Based upon traffic count data., a balanced (equal)
'
bandwidth is required for the off peak signal progression.
Page 1 of Appendix E shows the off peak progression analysis
with no signal at Access D. The through bandwidth is. 39
seconds in each direction or 32 percent. This is over the
'
minimum allowable bandwidth for a Category 3 Highway in the
State Highway Access Code. Page 2 in Appendix, E shows the
off peak progression analysis with a signal at Access D. The
through bandwidth is 36 seconds in each direction or 30
'
percent. It is concluded that there is no significant
deterioration of the through bandwidths on College Avenue
when a signal is introduced at Access. D.
In the morning peak hour, traffic count data indicates
that the northbound bandwidth should be wider than the
southbound bandwidth using an approximate 60X/40% ratio.
'
Previous progression studies have indicated that a 130 second
cycle length should be considered. Page 3 in Appendix. E
shows. the AM peak progression analysis with no signal at
Access D. The through bandwidths are 48 seconds (37 percent)
northbound and 35 seconds (27 percent) southbound. These
average over the minimum al 1 oiraabl a bandwidth for a Category 3
'
Highway. Page 4 in Appendix E shoes AM progression analysis
with a signal at Access D. The through bandwidth in each
direction is slightly less than if there were no signal at
Access D. It is concluded that there is no significant
deterioration of the through bandwidths on College Avenue
when a signal is introduced at Access D.
In the afternoon peak hour, traffic count data indicates
that the southbound bandtytidth should be wider than the
northbound bandwidth using an approximate 55X/45*A ratio.
'
Previous progression studies have indicated that a 130 second
cycle length should be considered. Page 5 in Appendix E
shows the PM peak progression analysis with no signal at
Access D. The through bandwidths are 45 seconds (35 percent)
'
southbound and 39 seconds (30 percent) northbound. These
average over the minimum allowable bandwidth for a Category 3
Highway. Page 6 in Appendix E shows PM progression analysis
with a signal at Access D. The through bandwidth in each
direction is slightly less than if there were no signal at
Access D. It is concluded that there is no significant
'
deterioration of the through bandwidths on College Avenue
when a signal is introduced at Access D.
P
The above progression analyses are presented to show
that signals can fit on College Avenue. Design progression
' analysis must be conducted on a regular basis reflecting
change in land use, speed, and other variables.
' The location of a signal approximately 500-600 feet from
a major signalized intersection (Access D is 850 feet from
Trilby), s_.ometimes referred to as a "slave light," is a
concept which has been recommended in the "Access Control
Demonstration Project" prepared for the Colorado Department
of Highviays, District 6. It is a method of providing access
' to corner properties located at the inter -sections of major
arterial streets. It has been implemented in the City of
Lakewood. The Lakewood Traffic Engineering Department was
contacted to gain some insight with regard to their
experience with this concept. The following comments vier•e
made:
' - The access point proposed for s i gnat i zat i on must have
much lower traffic volumes when compared to the major street.
A "rule of thumb" ratio of greent ime is 1/3 versus_. 2/3.
- The left -turn lane storage requirements on the major
street at the arterial/arterial intersection take precedence
over the location of a signal at the access.
' - The access signal should have as fe1w phases as
possible. A two or three phase signal seems to t�,lork best. A
full eight phase signal is. unacceptable.
- At the intersection of two arterials, it i
acceptable to introduce signals at the accesses on Ivio legs,
but not on all four legs.
The "slave light" concept has been implemented in
' Lakewood on two adjacent legs at the Vladswor th/Jet,,le 1 1
intersection. Wadsworth Boulevard is a six lane arterial
which is also State Highway 121. Jewell Avenue is a four
' lane arterial. The Lakewood Traffic Engineering Department
stated that these signals have been performing satisfactori-
ly, serving the adjacent land uses and not negatively
impacting either Wadstyaor th Boulevard or Jewell Avenue.
' The t4a.dsworth"'Jewel 1 location tA!oul d be similar to the
College/Trilby intersection in Fort Collins. College Avenue
' is a major arterial with projected traffic volumes similar to
that projected for Wadsviorth Boulevard. Based upon the
preceedi ng progression analyses, the operational and
geometric analyses provided later in this report, and the
' a.cceptabi l i ty of this concept in the State of Colorado, it is
recommended that the "slave light" concept be considered at
this. location. Final determination is subject to more
' refined "design level" studies_..

While it is concluded that a signal at Access D causes
no significant deterioration of the through bandwidths on
College Avenue, moving Access D a. few hundred feet closer to
Trilby would cause no deterioration of through bandwidths.
It is recommened that in future site designs, Access D should
be moved to 550-650 feet north of Trilby Road.
Operations Analysis
Capacity analyses were performed on key intersections
adjacent to the Timan PUD Master Plan. The operations
analyses were conducted and discussed below as indicated on
the site plan for the short range (15190) analysis. This
includes. stop sign control at the Col 1 ege/Skyviay intersec-
tion. The long range (2010) analysis discusses access as
proposed on the master plan as submitted by the planning
consultant. It is at the long range level of traffic that
geometric and operational requirements will be at the
maximum. The philosophy used here is that, if the traffic
operations work for the long range condition, it can work for
the short range condition. Also, the evaluation of the
proposed right-in/right-out on College is provided in a
separate section of this report.
Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 12 and the
existing geometrics, the affected intersections operate in
the short range condition as indicated in Table 3. Calcula-
tion forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix F.
The College/Trilby intersection will operate at level of
service A during the peak hours with the existing geometrics.
While the analysis indicates that the geometrics are
adequate, it is likely that left -turn lanes will be provided
on Trilby Road when the signals are installed during the
summer of 1?88. Phase 1 of the Timan PUD Master Plan has
little effect on the operation of this intersection. The
Col1ege!Skyviay intersection will not warrant signatization at
this level of development. With stop sign control, it will
operate similar to the current operation during the peak
hours. Left -turn exits will experience delays. It is
recommended that Skyway Drive be widened to provide for an
eastbound loft -turn lane. This will confine the delays to
only those vehicles desiring to turn left.
Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 13 and
recommended geometrics, the intersections operate in the long
range condition as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms
for these analyses are provided in Appendix G. As stated
earlier, signals would likely be warranted at the College/
Skyway and College/Access D intersections. As signalized
intersections, the College/Trilby, College/Access D, and
College/Skyway intersections operate acceptably with improved
geometrics and signal phase improvements. The recommended/
required long range geometrics are shown schematically in

Figure 14. Right -turn deceleration lanes to this site are
not shown on Figure 14 based upon the State Highway Access
Code, Section 4.7.1.e which states, "Where there are three or
more through lanes in the direction of travel, the Department
will normally drop the requirement for right -turn accelera-
tion and deceleration lanes. However, each case shall be
reviewed independently and a decision made based upon site
specific conditions. Generally, the lanes will be required
only for high volume access or when a specific geometric
safety problem exists." Since this portion of the site is
being submitted as a. master plan and since the South College
Access. Plan will address these specific concerns, it is
recommended that the need for right -turn deceleration be
delayed to a later time when the South College Access Plan is
completed.
At the two accesses !A and B? to Trilby Road, the peak
hour operation is generally acceptable except for left -turn
exits. There is tittle that can be done to improve this
operation since signals will not likely be warranted. It is
recommended that right- and left -turn exit lanes be provided
so that any delays are confined to only those vehicles
desiring to turn left. These loft -turn exits do have
alternative exits via other accesses to the Tim -An PUD Master
Plan. Peak hour operation at Access F will be acceptable.
Access G is intended to be an employee parking area.
Operation at this access will be acceptable.
The right-in/right-out Access C will be evaluated in a.
"with/t.-jithout" analysis in Chapter IV. The analyses provided
above show the access as proposed by the developer of the
property.
Accident Analysis
Historic review of accidents was deemed not appropriate
at this time, since this is a developing area and traffic
patterns are likely to change substantially as development
increases. The recommended control devices and geometrics
should minimize vehicular conflicts and maximize vehicle
separation. Therefore, the accident rate should be at its
minimum for a typical urban condition.
IV. ACCESS ANALYSIS
If a development plan proposes private driveway accesses
' to arterial streets, the City of Fort Col 1 i ns requires a
"with and without" analysis. The purpose of this analysis is
to show the change of operation to nearby intersections and
streets both with the proposed access and without the
' proposed access. The Timan PUD Master Plan site plan
proposes a right-in/right out driveway access to College

Avenue at Access_. C. The earlier analyses in Chapter III show
the expected traffic volumes and operation with this right-
in/right-out access. The long range peak hour traffic
volumes are shown in Figure 13 and the long range peak hour
operation at intersections is shown in Table 4.
Figure 15 shows the long range peak hour traffic volumes
without the right-in/right-out access. Elimination of this
access has the most impact on the adjacent intersections.,
Access B, Access D, and the College/Trilby intersection.
Table 5 shows the long range peak hour operation at the
key intersections without the right-in/right-out Access C.
Calculation forms for these analyses_ are provided in Appendix
H. It can be seen that the operation at both the College/
Access D and College/Trilby intersections does not change
significa.ntly from that reflected in Table 4. However, the
operation of the left -turn exits at Access. B does
deteriorate. This is due to the expected increase in the
number of left turns which likely will use Access B if Access_
C is. eliminated. There will be alternative access via the
right -turn exit at Access D.
Based upon the analyses reflected in this report, the
following conclusions are drawn with regard to the right-
in/right-out Access C:
- The Access C to College Avenue does not significantly
affect the operation at other adjacent intersections.
Therefore, Access C cannot be justified from an operations
point of view.
- If Access D is moved to the south, as was suggested
under the signal progression discussion, then the space
between Trilby and Access D will not be long enough to
accommodate another access.
- Since the South College Access Plan will address this
and other access along College Avenue, final determination
should be made as part of that process.
IV. CONCLUSIOPTS
This study assessed the impacts of the Timan PUD Master
Plan on the short range (1990) and long range (2010) street
system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a
result of this analysis, the following is concluded:
- The development of the Timan PUD plaster Plan is
feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full
development as proposed, approximately 17,500 trip ends will
be generated at this site daily.

- Existing operation at the College/Trilby and College/
:skyway intersections are not acceptable with existing stop
sign control. With the warranted signal at the Coll ege/
Trilby intersection, this intersection will operate
acceptably.
- By 1990, given development of Phase I of the Timan
PUD Master Plan and an increase in background traffic, the
signalized intersection of College and Trilby will operate
acceptably. With stop sign control, the College/Skyt.%tay
intersection will operate unacceptably. It is recommended
that Skyway Drive be widened to provide for an eastbound
left -turn lane.
- By 2010, the College/Trilby intersection will operate
acceptably during the peak hours with College Avenue as a six
lane street and a four lane cross section on Trilby Road.
Due to an expected high right -turn volume on taestbound Trilby
Road, an exclusive right -turn lane improves the operation
significantly. With full development, signals will likely be
warranted at the College/ Skyway intersection and the College/
Access D intersection. Both of the signalized intersections
' will operate acceptably. The stop sign controlled Access A
and B will operate acceptably except for left -turn exits.
With separate right- and left -turn exit lanes, any delays
which might occur will be confined to the loft -turn lane.
Exits from this area do have alternative means of egress_..
The stop sign controlled Access F will operate acceptably.
- Signals at the College/Skyway and College/Access D
intersections can fit into a progression band on College
Avenue. The Access D intersection could be placed 550-650
feet north of Trilby Road for better signal progression along
College Avenue.
- The proposed stop sign controlled limited turn
driveway access (Access C) to College Avenue will operate
acceptably. The following recommendations are made with
regard to this right-in/right-out access:
- The Access C to College Avenue does not significantly
affect the operation at other adjacent intersections.
Therefore, Access C cannot be justified from an
operations point of view.
- If Access_. D is moved to the south, as was suggested
under the signal progression discussion, then the
space between Trilby and Access. D will not be long
enough to accommodate another access_..

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
ITEM: Timan Master Plan, Annexation and Zoning Request
DATE: March 24, 1988
LOCATION: Foothills Gateway Rehabilitation Center
APPLICANT: Timan Land Company
CONSULTANT: Vaught*Frye Architects
QUESTIONS, CONCERNS COMMENTS:
1. How tall can the buildings be?
Specific building heights are not defined at the master plan level. Another
neighborhood meeting will be held prior to the submission of a specific
development plan, so that you will have an opportunity to comment on site
plan and building design. In general the City has a height limitation of 40
feet. When developers propose buildings taller than 40 feet, the following
special review criteria are used to evaluate the building: community scale,
views, light and shadow, privacy and neighborhood scale.
2. Does the Master Plan assume the surrounding area will be annexed?
No. The Master Plan has no direct effect on annexation of the surrounding
area. The surrounding area is within the Urban Growth Area as defined by
the City and the County. It is anticipated that ultimately all the land
within the Urban Growth Area boundary will be within the City limits.
3. How close will the project be to Solar Drive?
The Master Plan indicates a landscape buffer between proposed commercial
development and Skyway Acres Subdivision. The exact width of the buffer
will be determined when preliminary site plans are submitted for review.
You will have another opportunity to comment at that time.
Page 2
•
•
4. Do you plan to save the trees?
Mature cottonwood trees along the Louden Ditch will be preserved.
5. Why plan for more office and retail space when there are so many vacan-
cies?
It is anticipated that the market place will change and that there will be a
demand for quality office and retail space in this location within the next
ten years. Development of the Master Plan will most likely occur in phases
responding to market demand.
6. It's difficult to comment on a Master Plan without more detail.
A master plan is the first step in the review process. It sets expectations
for land use and for traffic circulation. When preliminary site plans are
proposed you will have another opportunity to comment.
7. Will the frontage road continue through this development?
No. Major vehicle circulation will be a horse -shoe shaped public street
connecting to College Avenue at two intersections, with a link to Trilby
Road.
8. Will there be access onto Skyway? There is already too much traffic on
Skyway and the same problem exists on Trilby.
Minor access is proposed off of Skyway Drive. The applicant is required to
do a traffic analysis as part of the development review process. Comments
regarding acceptable levels of traffic on Skyway Drive and Trilby Road will
be addressed after the traffic analysis is reviewed.
9. What are the advantages to being annexed?
One difference between developing in the City versus the County is that in
the City, this development would be reviewed against the criteria of the
LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM rather than zoning regula-
tions. The City system gives the developer more flexibility in developing
their property as long as the project conforms to certain criteria designed to
protect the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the people of
Fort Collins. On the other hand, development standards are generally higher.
City electrical rates are significantly lower than REA.
10. Will the development be provided with City services?
The City will provide electrical service. Water and sewer service will
continue to be provided by Fort Collins -Loveland Water District and South
Fort Collins Wastewater District.
11. Will the developer submit design guidelines for development at the Master
Plan level?
Design guidelines for development are generally not a requirement for
master plans submitted with first phase preliminary plans.
Page 3
•
12. We are concerned about truck traffic on Skyway.
See No. 8.
13. Will the project be phased?
Development of Parcel A is expected to occur this year. Remaining parcels
will develop in response to market demand.
14. The Louden Ditch lateral is very important. Home owners use it for
irrigation water.
Concerns about the Louden Ditch, water shares and usage will be addressed
during the development review process.
15. How many water shares go with the property?
Two water shares go with the property. The developer may use irrigation
water from the Ditch.
16. Has the land been sold? Will the farmer be gone?
The land has been sold. The land will be leased to the farmer until phased
development occurs.
17. Will there be a fence between development and adjacent properties?
This issue will be addressed when specific development plans are reviewed.
18. We have a concern about auto dealerships and hours of operation.
This issue will be addressed when specific development plans are reviewed.
19. Will land uses be limited? Could another "Kangaroo Storage" go in on
this property?
The Master Plan lists storage facilities as a specific use which may be
proposed in the future. The City would evaluate the proposal against the
criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM.
20. What is the plan for the corner at College and Trilby?
The Master Plan indicates a "Retail Center" at this corner.
21. Will the proposed access points on College Avenue have matching access
points on the east side of College?
The City is in the process of preparing a South College Access Plan which
will address this issue. It is anticipated that the plan will be complete in 3
or 4 months.
22. How would site development be phased? Would all the roads go in with
the first phase?
Page 4 • •
Parcel A is designated as Phase One. This project shows two access points
off of Skyway Drive. (See No. 13)
23. Large showroom type uses would require significant grading. Are these
uses really appropriate for this site?
This issue will be evaluated when a specific development plan is proposed.
24. What rights/power does the neighborhood have?
The City requires informal meetings between neighborhoods, developers and
City staff on development projects perceived as having significant neigh-
borhood impact. Within the participation framework, citizens delineate
neighborhood values, goals and objectives and they participate in the
approval and modification of project plans.
25. What will be done to protect the natural resources of the site?
The two natural low lying areas created by the rolling terrain are retained
as passive open space areas conducive to wildlife and useable as storm
water detention areas.
26. We don't want our property annexed. What can we do to prevent it?
The annexation of this parcel of land does not directly effect the annexa-
tion of your property. The City of Fort Collins will consider annexation of
any property which satisfies the eligibility requirements of the Statutes of
the State of Colorado and the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort
Collins Urban Growth Area. For the purposes of most annexation requests,
the City shall consider eligible properties which meet the following general
criteria.
a. Not less than one sixth of the perimeter of the area proposed to be
annexed is contiguous to the City of Fort Collins municipal boundary.
b. The area to be annexed is within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.
This site meets both criteria. Annexation will enable the City to plan for
utility extensions and street improvements and it will give the City some
control over the quality of development on this site.
If you are opposed to the annexation, you have the opportunity to voice
your concerns before the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council at
public hearings. The first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances
is scheduled for City Council May 3, 1988. The Planning and Zoning Board
will make its recommendation on the annexation and zoning request May
23, 1988 and City Council will hold a public hearing and second reading
of the annexation and zoning ordinances June 7, 1988. These dates may
change. You can find out about new meeting dates by checking the public
notice section of the Coloradoan or by calling the Planning Department.
27. Is a regional mall a possibility for this location?
As far as we know, there are no plans for a regional mall at this location.
Page 5 • 9
28. Is there a demand for development of this type?
There are several different specific land uses listed on the Master Plan as
potential future development. The demand for each particular use varies
and is constantly changing. The developer's proposed land uses respond to
what they perceive the market demand to be today as well as anticipation
of what it will be five or ten years from now.
29. What assurances do we have that there will be tenants to fill the
space?
Only that in the free enterprise system it does not make economic sense to
build tenant space when there is no demand for it.
30. Will the Fort Collins Loveland Water District change their rates as a
result of this project? Will development affect our water pressure?
The Fort Collins Loveland Water District indicates that rates and water
pressure will not be affected by this development.
31. Will power lines be underground?
Yes.
32. How can we stop this annexation.
See No. 26.
33. Why would the City allow this type of development in this location, when
they are trying to encourage development downtown?
The City is doing a number of things to encourage development in the
Downtown, but it is not the City's policy to discourage development in
other parts of the community.
34. We are concerned about construction operations dragging out over a
long period of time.
The development will be phased over a period of several years. Individual
construction projects within the development must be complete prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
35. What will the zoning be?
The requested zoning is BP -Planned Business, with a planned unit develop-
ment condition. This zoning designation is for areas planned as a unit to
provide business services while still protecting surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
36. Drainage problems exist on Skyway Drive. Existing culverts don't drain.
This concern will be addressed during the development review process.
37. Who is the property owner?
Page 6 •
f
Timan Land Company, 2200 E. River Road, Suite 123, Tucson, AZ 85718
38. What will happen to the wildlife that exists on the property now?
See No. 25.
39. Will this development be using irrigation water from the ditch?
See No. 15.
40. We would like to see the project completed within a reasonable period
of time, including landscaping.
See No. 34.
41. Make the project nice looking, quiet and keep the traffic moving.
The City's development review process is sensitive to these issues.
42. Is the development east of College in the City?
No.
43. What will this project do for our neighborhood. Why should we support it?
This project will develop the land to City standards of streets, utility
services and planned land uses. The project is subject to the City Master
Plan and Planned Unit Development review procedures. Support for this
project will mean the chance for a better quality planned project as your
neighbor, rather than something that might be done under the County's
review procedures. As an example, flea market strip development could be
repeated under County review procedures. It is not the this developer's
intent to do this.
44. Will our property values go up or down?
This is a judgement call, and is not part of the City's review process.
45. What is the existing County zoning on the property?
C-Commercial and FA -Farming.
46. Who will be responsible for plowing the streets in the winter?
The City is responsible for plowing City streets. Downtown areas, arterials
and collector streets are given first priority. Local streets are generally not
plowed.
47. Will you sell off individual parcels to other developers?
Individual parcels may be sold off, as serviced lots with streets and
utilities in place. All development will be controlled by the City's Master
Plan and Planned Unit Development review procedures.
Page 7 i
48. If sales don't go well, will Timan Land Company develop the property?
Yes, that is a possibility.
49. If this Master plan doesn't generate interest in the development community
will you revise it?
In order to amend the Master Plan the developer will have to go through
the same development review process and have the change approved by the
Planning and Zoning Board.
50. The quality of the development will be better if it develops in the
City rather than in the County because of more restrictive development
requirements.
51. Does the city have landscape design guidelines for buffering different
types of land uses?
The Land Development Guidance System requires that all planned unit
developments meet certain landscape design objectives. Those landscape
objectives include street trees, visual screening of parking and loading
areas, buffers between different land uses, building foundation plantings
and general aesthetics.
52. Is the City involved in the development of this property?
No.
53. Would the property develop in the County if the City didn't annex the
property?
The property is destined for development, whether in the City or County.
A better quality project may result under City guidelines for development.
54. Will any of this development drain to the west?
No.
55. Will the project have a start and completion date?
See No. 13.
56. When Trilby Road is widened and additional right of way is required,
which side will the additional right of way be taken from?
Trilby Road is designated an arterial street in the City of Fort Collins.
City arterial standards indicate a 70 foot pavement width within a 100
foot right of way. The right of way is typically acquired in equal portions
from both sides. However, this is not always the case. The situation along
Trilby Road will be evaluated when it is widened. Which side the right of
way comes from has not been decided.
