Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 RE: Site Traffic Impacts Resulting from a Change of Use 1012 N.E. Frontage Road Dear Eric: As requested by Jim Bath (JB Excavating), I have estimated site traffic generated by the proposed use and prior use at 1012 N.E. Frontage Road. It is my understanding that this is in response to your request for this information as part of the approval process. The site previously accommodated a boat and RV sales, service, and storage business. The proposed use is an excavating and underground utilities business. Given the unique uses (both existing and proposed), site traffic estimates -were developed using activity estimated by the proposed user and information obtained from another boat and RV site. This information is contained in the attached letters. Site traffic estimates are provided below. PRIOR USE (Boat and RV Sales, Service. & Storage) A letter from John's RV and Boat service in Fort Collins indicates some 30 — 35 vehicles per day are normally experienced during the off-season increasing to 40 — 50 vehicles per day during the summer. This equates to about 35 vehicles per day on average or some 70 trips per day. PROPOSED USE (Excavating & Underground Utilities) There will be 5 full-time employees on -site. These include 3 administrative people, one estimator, and one maintenance person. No on -site sales or service is expected; however, an average of two customers or visitors per day is normal. Two additional vehicles per day were added for mail/UPS deliveries. This results in some 30 trips per day assuming all employees leave for lunch. IMPACT OF LAND USE CHANGE As indicated above, the prior use generated an estimated 70 trips per day while the proposed use is expected to generate some 30 trips per day. Accordingly, a reduction of some 40 trips per day can be anticipated with the proposed use. In summary, the proposed use is expected to result in a reduction in site generated traffic. The reduction will likely be in the range of 50%when compared to the prior use. I trust this letter will sufficiently answer your question. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. Sincerely, .
