Subject: Addendum to the Poudre Valley Plaza Site Access
Study (File: 9538MEM1)

This memorandum serves as an addendum to the Poudre
>
Valley Plaza Site Access Study and a response to "traffic
a
related" comments provided by Fort Collins staff.

The land uses in the site access study are slightly
m
different than the uses shown on the site plan as submitted
M
by Jim Sell Design. This occasionally happens when changes
M
occur to the site plan after the site access study was
completed. Table 1 shows the trip generation from the site
access.study. Table 2 shows the trip generation from the land
uses on the submitted site plan. The changes occur in
buildings B, C, and G. The changes cause increases in the
generated trips as follows:
Daily - 966 trip ends
Morning peak hour - 83 trip ends
Afternoon peak hour - 70 trip ends
The increased trip generation causes changes in the site
generated traffic assignment at the key intersections. The
traffic increases do not cause a significant change in the
operation of the key intersections. Delay will change
Z
Q
slightly, but the level of service categories remain the same
UJ
as that indicated in the site access study.
z
The primary comment pertaining to the site access study
W
is from the Transportation Department: "Right -turn lanes are
needed from Horsetooth Road (eastbound lane) into Century
Drive and from Shields Street (northbound lane) into Arbor
=
o
Drive." The need for these turn lanes (as well as other turn
c-2
a
lanes) was analyzed using criteria in the "Intersection
W
Channelization Design Guide," NCHRPR 279, TRB, 1985, Pg. 63-
o
a
65. Using these criteria, the above through and right -turn
Z
volumes do not warrant full width deceleration lane. A taper
-�
cc
and increased radius will allow right -turning vehicles to
enter the taper slowing to 15 mph to make the turn. If City
3
requires the aforementioned lanes, then they should be as
W
LL
follows: the requested right -turn lane on Horsetooth Road
=
�
a
°`
approaching Century Drive should be a continuous lane between
PP g Y
�--
the right-in/right-out access and Century Drive; and the
Q
requested right -turn lane on Shields Street approaching Arbor
Drive should be 310 feet, including taper.
