Fort Collins, CO 80526 Dear Tom; During the meeting last Monday, July 27th, 1987, many items were dis- cussed with Dan Bartran, Bill Brenner, Ted Shepard, you and myself, and I have written some of the resolved and unresolved items for everyone to review. If you, or anyone, have any questions concerning the items listed below, please feel free to contact Ted Shepard or myself so we may clear up any misunderstandings. 1) The purpose of attempting to achieve a site design with norr standard streets for the First Tee P.U.D. is twofold; to create a separate neighborhood identity, and to fit single family lots in an area originally Master Planned for multi- family units. 2) The City is willing to look at this project with some special considerations to the street design, and how it will fit into the proposed "conceptual" site design. 3) The City will NOT accept a site design with private streets. 4) The City feels the "neighborhood identity" site design fea- tures are valid points, but this can be achieved by many means, which may or may not include narrow streets with side- walk on one side. The Planning Staff is available to work with you any time and help create the type of neighborhood you are working towards. 5) The non-standard street design is an issue which we must work out with a flexible and cooperative approach by both parties. I feel we are working in that direction after our last meet- ing and hope this will continue. The current City Street x1 Y f`c• i 1 .'i.6iJfdd.,t� OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT 300 LaPorte Ave. • P.O.

PLANNING Collindale First Tee Page 2 Standards are based on safety, function, and maintenance factors, and the City Staff is willing to look at variations of these standards provided these three areas are suffi- ciently dealt with. Then and only then is the City willing to grant. a variance to the standards. The main points of discussion concerning the conceptual site design we looked at on Monday are: * The streets would have a conventional center crown, or conti- nuous cross in one direction. * The center east -west street would be standard 36 foot wide street if possible. * The streets less then 36 feet wide would have "self regulat- ing" parking on one side, and "adequate" off -site parking to mitigate the parking on one side only. * The pedestrian circulation from the "green belt" to the pool would be looked at, along with the dead-enI street in the northwest corner of the project. Hopefully this project will make steady progress towards a workable solution and produce an attractive single family community with unique features that are acceptable to both the people living there and the City Departments responsible for providing acceptable levels of service. The Planning Staff is always available to sit down and discuss the issues as they arise. Please do not hesitate to call Ted Shepard or myself anytime. Sin rely, im Newell Civil Engineer cc: Dan Bartran, c/o Bartran Homes Ted Shepard, City Planner Bill Brenner, c/o Robb and Brenner W V J W C W H H Q MEMORANDUM To: Bi 1 1 Ba.rt_ra.n, Ba.rtra.n Homes Bill Brenner, Robb, Brenner, t'ti Erelig Rick Ensdorff, , Fart Col 1 i ns Traffic Engineer cD co M From: Matt Ce1 i h cD z Fr w w Z z w J U • Z _O Q F- 0 d z a Q U LL w CC F-- Date: August 24, 198 _subject: Col l inda.le First Tee The Col1inda.le First Tee is a. proposed single family detached re_.i dent. i a.l development located north W Hor _.e tooth Road between Lockwood Drive and Carlton Avenue. Two points of local access { Futl i_ street) will ill be prom i ded, one to Lockwood and one to Carlton. The development is proposed to have 45 dwe l l i ng units. Using ITE Trip Generation rates, th i = development is. estimated to produce the following: Average weekday trip ends - 450 Morning peak: hour trips - In - i Out - 25 Afternoon peak hour trip=. - In - 2 Out - 1 The primary directional distribution for these residential trips would likely be toward both Carlton in and Lockwood to H r=.etooth and then west to Lema.y Avenue and the College Avenue corridor. A smaller proportion would utilize Hor _.e tooth to travel to the east. No direct access is intended to Hor=•etooth Road. I have reviewed ether traffic studies in this area. Col l i nda.l e Development Memo, December 30, 1985 and Cruel 1 i nda.l e PUD 'Site Access Study, December 1986), and conclude that the density and number of units proposed is less than that considered in these studies. In my ,judgment, the trips generated by this development can be accommodated on the existing street system in the area. as analyzed in the Col 1 i nda.l e PLUG '87 Site Acce_._. stud.,, Attached to this memorandum is the Executive Summary of that study which summarizes the conclusions. pertaining to traffic impacts of this development. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY C:ol 1 i ncia.l e PUD ' 87 is a proposed development located at the intersection of Lockwood Drive and Horsetooth Road. This traffic impact study involved the steps of trip generation, trip distribution, trip assignment, capacity analysis, traffic s.i gnal warrant analysis, signal progression analysis, and accident: analysis. This. study assessed the impacts of Collindale PUD '87 on the short range (1988) and long range (2007) street system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: - The development of the Collindale PUD '87 is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development as. proposed, approximately 3400 trip ends will be generated at this site daily. - By 1988, given the development of the Collindale PUD '67 and an increase in background traffic, the stop sign controlled intersections will operate acceptably when considering the g,?.ps_. in traffic created by platoon f1ov, on Horse tooth Road. No net!,, traffic signals. are warranted in the short range future. - By 211,07, a signal may be warranted at the Horsetooth/ Lockwood intersection. With a signal at this. location, acceptable operation is achievable. t.Jith stop sign control, the Horsetooth/Carlton intersection will operate acceptably except for the left -turn exits_. from Carlton. Operation of these left -turn exits are improved by considering platoon flow that can be achieved through good signal progression on Horsetooth Road. Int.ers_.ections along Lockwood Drive and Carlton Avenue wi 1 l operate acceptably considering fu l 1 development of all properties included in this_. study. The proposed riciht-in access to C:ollinciala PUD '87 must be designed with a deceleration lane of at least 180 feet including taper, given the expected 35 mph posted speed on Horsetooth Road. The right -in access takes westbound vehicles. off Horsetooth Road, improving the operation of the Hors_.etooth/Lockviood intersection. These vehicles are reintroduced to the Horsetooth/Lockwood intersection as right turns from Lockwood, tfah i ch are easy to make with both stop si qn or si final control. - Introduction of additional traffic and access points along Lockvood Drive has the potential of reducing the observed speeding which is occurring on Lockwood. This speeding is probably being done by residents of the area and should be self reaulated. Police should continue routine enforcement in this area. - Introduction of an additional street intersecting with Horsetooth Road between Lockwood Drive and Carlton Avenue is of questionable need. It does have the potential of reducinq some of the short cuts currently being taken via Preston Trai 1 . It t:,,oul d require purchase of right-of-way and construction by the City of Fort Collins. It detracts from the arterial integrity of Horsetooth Road by introducing another intersection along it. - Traffic should be monitored at the Horsetooth/ Lockwood intersection to determine when/if sionals will be warranted at this location. If a signal Is warranted, it can fit into progression schemes along Horsetooth Road. - l,Jith the recommended control and geometric=, the accident rate should be at an acceptable level for typical urban conditions.

P.O. Box 251 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Site Engineering: James H. Stewart and Associates 214 North Howes Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 A variance is requested from Criteria 1.02.10 d of the Design Criteria and Standards for Streets dated July 1986. In our loop street (46 foot R.O.W., 28 foot pavement), two lots out of a total of 19 face each other across the street. The project reduces overall density from approximately 10 per acre approved by the Master Plan to about 5 per acre, in a small lot, single family detached mode. In order to maintain our density at about 5 per acre and be efficient with our street layout, the loop street worked the best. The problem created by the condition occurs if cars are parked on both sides of the street and one fire engine needs to pass a second fire engine at that point. Robb, Brenner t 3relig, Inc. September 1, 1987 Page 2 We request a variance for the following reasons: 1. Only two lots are not in conformance with the criteria. 2. The loop street provides access in an emergency situation from two points (versus one point in a cul-de-sac). 3. The small number of lots in the loop streets. 4. The avail -ability of piggy -back parking for two cars on every lot. 5. Furnishing 6 additional off street parking spaces for this area in the green area adjacent. 6. We will locate drive way cuts so that cars will not be able to park opposite each other on both sides of the street. This Request for Variance is made on behalf of the Owner by the following: Robb, Brenner and Bre ig, Inc. Archite is/Planners By: AU_k%\ James H.

The variance is to Section 1.02.10 d of the Design Criteria and Standards for Streets and dated July 1986. Faraday Circle is planned as a 28.00 foot wide pavement in a 46.00 foot wide right of way. It will meet all of the requirements except sub —section "d" which says the 28.00 foot pavement cannot be used where single family homes face each other. Parking will only be allowed on one side of the street, however some off street parking spaces will be constructed for overflow parking. The narrower street is necessary to allow three rows of lots in the rather narrow subdivision. No public health, safety or welfare problems are created. Half of the lots facing Faraday Circle do not have homes across the street. 1km If you have any questions regarding this request, please call. James H. Stewart and Associates, Inc. 214 N.
