MEMORANDUM
To: Bill Albrecht, Albrecht Homes
Frank Vaught, Vaught*Frye Architects
Rick Ensdorff, Fort Collins Transportation Division
Fort Collins Planning Department
From: Matt Delich °4"

Date: March 7, 1994
Subject: The Courtyards at Miramont PUD traffic study,
(File: 9423MEM1)
The Courtyards at Miramont PUD is a proposed continuing
development within the Oak/Cottonwood Farm area in Fort
Collins. This memorandum compares the general trip generation.
used in previous studies with the site specific uses proposed
at this time.
The Oak/Cottonwood Farm area is south of Harmony Road,
west of Lemay Avenue, and north of Fossil Creek. Its western
edge is the existing development located east of College
Avenue (Fairway Estates and Fossil Creek Meadows). The Oak/
Cottonwood Farm Amended Overall Development Plan shows the
area divided into lettered parcels (A through V). This plan
is shown in Appendix A.
The "Oak/Cottonwood Farm Site Access Study," May 1992
addresses the traffic impacts of the Oak/Cottonwood Farm
Overall Development Plan. This site access study addressed
the existing uses, primarily in Parcel R, and development of
the remainder of the site.
The Courtyards at Miramont PUD includes portions of
Parcels Q and P from the Overall Development Plan. Parcel Q
includes the Miramont Tennis and Fitness Center as described
in its Site Access Study, dated September 1993, and the Oak
Hill Apartments. While not included in Parcel Q, the
Evangelical Covenant Church has proposed an expansion and high
school on their property to the west of Parcel Q. The church
expansion and high school were not included in the Oak/
Cottonwood Farm Site Access Study, but will be included in the
trip generation comparison in this memorandum.
Parcels Q and P daily trip generation from the site
access study was 5740 average weekday vehicle trip ends. The
Courtyards at Miramont PUD, Phases I, II, III, and IV will
generate 420 average weekday vehicle trip ends. Phases V and
VI of the Courtyards at Miramont PUD will generate 270 average
weekday vehicle trip ends. The Oak Hill Apartments will
generate 1320 average weekday vehicle trip ends (see February
_i
L-
7, 1994, Miramont Phase 3/Oak. Hill Apartments traffic study
memorandum). The Miramont Tennis and Fitness Center will
generate 775 average weekday vehicle trip ends. The church
expansion and school will generate 1040 average weekday
vehicle trip ends. The sum of the trip generation for the
Courtyards, the Oak Hill Apartments, the fitness center, and
the church/school is 382-5 average weekday vehicle trip ends.
The site access study over estimated the daily trip generation
for the subject parcels by 1915 (33%). It is concluded that
the proposed developments are consistent with, but slightly
less than that used in the Oak/Cottonwood Farm Site Access
Study.
Appendix B shows a site plan of the Courtyards at
Miramont PUD. Phases I through IV will gain access to the
public street system via Boardwalk Drive. The operation at
the access/Boardwalk intersection will be acceptable with stop
sign control. Phases V and VI of the Courtyards at Miramont
will access the public street system via Rule Drive to Lemay
Avenue. In the short range future (next 2-5 years), operation
at the Lemay/Rule intersection will be acceptable. As traffic
increases along Lemay Avenue in the future, the delays to
minor street left turns and throughs will become longer.
There is little that van be done to improve this, and is
generally accepted at stop sign controlled intersections along
arterial streets. As signals are introduced at various
intersections when warranted (Lemay/Oakri.dge, Lemay/Boardwalk/
Keenland, etc.) and good progression is achieved on Lemay
Avenue, gaps in the main street traffic will be introduced.
This will improve the operation of minor street left turns
and throughs at the Lemay/Rule intersection.
