This memorandum is the preliminary traffic study
a submittal for the Cottonwood Farm Amended Master Plan and the
first phase of development. The first phase of development
will consist of 30 dwelling units on parcel F and 62 dwelling
a units on parcel G. These parcels will access Boardwalk, which
will be built to a collector level street from Oakridge Drive
to Lemay Avenue. At Lemay Avenue, Boardwalk lines up with
Keenland Drive in the Oak Ridge PUD. It is expected that
Boardwalk will have one travel lane in each direction, a
center median/left-turn lane, and bike lanes. There will be
no residential driveway accesses on Boardwalk. It is likely
that on-street parking will be prohibited.
New peak hour traffic counts have been obtained at
Harmony/Boardwalk, Lemay/Keenland, and Lemay/Southridge Greens
Boulevard. The long range analysis will analyze the arterial.
and collector street intersections and develop peak hour
traffic volumes on arterial and collector level streets . The
short range analysis will develop traffic volumes on streets
and intersections that relate specifically to that phase of
development.
Parcel R of the Cottonwood Farm Master Plan includes the
PACE store, Builders ' Square, and Steele' s Market. Detailed
tai "' traffic studies and amendments were prepared for development
1:16: ' 5 of Parcel R. A street connection is proposed from Boardwalk
to Mail Creek Lane . This street will pass east and south of
•
m z Werner Elementary School . I have conducted preliminary
c.a studies regarding this connection and found that the travel
J demand would be on the order of 1400 vehicles per day. This
® volume could be comfortably handled on a local street. It is
my understanding that this connecting street is proposed to
d be built to a local street standard. However, it will not
� , ►°` have residential driveways accessing it, except for one short
�" segment on one side of the street. In essence, it will
function as a collector street. Discussions are underway with
= < the developers/consultants for Huntington Hills so that the
1- proposed street systems are compatible.
cc
S Fort Collins Planning Department staff granted a late
submission of the traffic study due to the previous studies
o
performed on various portions of the Cottonwood Farm, and due
to the size of the first phase of 'development which can be
accommodated on the existing street system in this area. The
submission of the traffic study in a few weeks will still
allow ample time for review and comment by city staff.
