The minimum levels of service for both of these area types are B for all factors, except for visual interest and amenities, which is C. Some of the service factors cannot be achieved. It is recommended that a temporary asphalt path be constructed connecting to destinations 1 and 2. Destination 4 will be connected with completion of the loop drive. The desired pedestrian level of service cannot be reasonably achieved for the mobile home park. The City staff will need to grant an exception with regard to this pedestrian destination. By definition, there is only one bicycle destination with 0.25 miles of the PCMOB. This is the Traut Core Knowledge School. However, there will be little affinity between the PCMOB and the school. wheT the recommended temporary asphalt path is built between Timberwood Drive and the PCMOB, bicyclists will be able to utilize this facility. It should be wide enough to accommodate pedestrians and bikes. The Bicycle LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix D. There is no existing transit service within one mile of this site. When transit service is introduced to the Harmony Road Corridor, patrons will be able to use the transit stop built with the existing portion of the PVHSHC.

It will be located east of future Snow Mesa Drive, approximately 500 feet south of Harmony Road. The site plan is shown in Figure 1. The Jz private loop drive is intended to be extended to Snow Mesa Drive. A 0 portion of Snow Mesa Drive will be built south of Harmony Road. A D scoping conversation was held with Eric Bracke, Fort Collins Traffic rl- N Engineer. This proposal was presented to the Fort Collins CNJ engineering and planning staff. There will be on -going discussions regarding the access to Harmony Road. Given all of the previous information provided regarding the PVHSHC, a technical memorandum was agreed upon. The proposed PCMOB will be 22,500 square feet. Using Trip Generation, 7th Edition, ITE, this building is expected to generate approximately 710 average daily trip ends, 56 morning peak hour trip ends, and 77 afternoon peak hour trip ends. Based upon current traffic counts and review of previous transportation studies for the PVHSHC, the trip distribution is expected to be 40% to/from the west, W 30% to/from the north, 15% to/from the east, and 15% to/from the south. a z Z Q Figure 2 shows recent balanced counts at key intersection in W the area.

A description of level of 0 a service and the Fort Collins intersection operation criteria are also Q provided in Appendix A. o. a w Discussions with City staff indicated that if a signal were not a warranted at the Harmony/Mobile Home Park/Snow Mesa intersection, the � H south leg would not be connected to Harmony Road, unless a design W di could be presented which assured limited access on the south leg. S2 Sear -Brown has designed an access that will restrict the south leg U. (Snow Mesa Drive) to right-in/right-out traffic movements.

Along with o the existing building in the PVHSHC, the following buildings were rn assumed to be built and occupied: the Primary Care Medical Office w Building, east of Snow Mesa Drive; and the Medical Office Building o II, just east of the existing building. The purpose of this analysis = is to determine whether signal warrants would be met at the a Harmony/Snow Mesa intersection. Typically,, traffic signals are not installed at any intersection unless one or more signal warrants are met according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). A warrant analysis involves obtaining traffic count information at a given intersection in accordance with procedures in the MUTCD. However, the south leg of the subject intersection does not exist. Therefore, the following analysis relies on traffic forecasts. Specifically, this analysis utilizes peak hour traffic, since that is the most predictable. This exercise involved conducting trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment for the future buildings proposed at the PVHSHC. Along with the peak hour traffic from these buildings, traffic that would use Timberwood Drive when connected to Snow Mesa Drive was also considered. This involved a reassignment of Z some of the traffic currently using the Harmony/Corbett intersection F to the Harmony/Snow Mesa intersection. Figure 1 shows the forecasted W W peak hour traffic at the Harmony/Snow Mesa intersection at a short z a range future year (approximately 2006). Appendix A contains the peak Z hour warrant analysis sheet for a street (Harmony Road) where the W Z posted speed is greater than 40 mph. From this exercise, it can be o concluded that the peak hour signal warrant would be met in the morning and afternoon peak hours. It is likely that this cc intersection would also meet the Four Hour Warrant criteria from CLMUTCD, since the proposed uses generate significant traffic during Z the course of the day, not just at the peak hours. At school Fes- dismissal time, it is likely that the minor street left turns will be o- increased also. LL Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or desire LL additional analyses.

LL Q ¢ SUBJECT: Poudre Valley Health System Harmony Campus (PVHSHC) - Healthy Living Center Transportation Impact Study (File: 0363ME11) Due to time constraints, a detailed transportation impact study (TIS) could not be prepared for the building known as the Healthy Living Center (HLC) on the PVHSHC. The previous TIS' for the Primary Care Medical Office Building (2/3/04) and the Medical Office Building II (3/30/04) provided intersection operation information with a limited turn access to Harmony Road (no signal). These memorandum, without their appendices, are provided in Appendix A of this memorandum. These TIS' also addressed alternative modes. The key intersections were shown to operate acceptably. In a memorandum dated April 22, 2004 (attached in Appendix A), the Harmony/Snow Mesa intersection was evaluated with signal control. With signal control at the Harmony/Snow Mesa intersection, the other key intersections will operate better than shown in the previous TIS', since some vehicle trips will be reassigned to other traffic movements which were shown to be operating at a higher level of service. The HLC will be located adjacent to the Medical Office Building II. It will be a specialized health club facility. This land use was shown as a proposed land use in the trip generation table in the "Poudre Valley Hospital South Campus Transportation Impact Study," July 1998. The trip generation table is shown in Appendix B. In that TIS, all of the key intersections were shown to operate acceptably. Given the time constraints, the consistency of development on the PVHSHC, and the acceptable operation of the key intersections, it is respectfully requested that further transportation analyses for the HLC be waived at this time.
