HomeMy WebLinkAboutMULBERRY CONNECTION - PDP190015 - CORRESPONDENCE - STREET RELATED DOCUMENT (5)Charlie, I wanted to reach out to see if you could help me with something. We are under contract on a development site in Fort Collins, Colorado and it borders 1-25, as well as a frontage road. Would you be able to send along the appropriate contact at CDOT who manages this area, as we have some setback and future improvement questions for them. Your help would be much appreciated.

The access control plan will need to be followed and implemented with any project. Plans will be routed to CDOT for review and approval and the applicant may need to obtain access permits from CDOT. The criteria for when you need to obtain an access permit for the Frontage Road / Redman Drive intersection is your new development increases the daily traffic using the side street connection by greater than 20%. There isn't a ton of development on that roadway so pretty much anything you develop will increase the traffic on the side street at the intersection by at least 20%. A new permit will be required. The existing head in parking is also subject to CDOT review. It is possible CDOT may require this to be removed. I am confused as to this comment. I do not see any of the parking spots inside the CDOT right-of-way I believe. If all your parking is on your property than it is Ft. Collins that decides on the head in question as the local municipality with land use authority. 2.The Frontage Road is under the jurisdiction on the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), so we'll need to coordinate with them for access permits, and review of any needed auxiliary turn lanes. Correct. Just as a FYI I think it'll be minimum 6 months from when you begin your engineering work before you are approved for construction given a standard length of time for your consultant engineer to design the plans. The asphalt paving season for developers ends Oct. 1st, which means that your auxiliary lanes won't be installed until 2020 at the earliest so please plan accordingly. 3.The estimated daily vehicular trips from the proposed development meets the threshold of requiring some sort of traffic impact study (TIS). Please have your traffic engineer contact me to scope the study (it will be coordinated with CDOT so the study meets their requirements). The City may have more specific scoping requirements. I'm attaching a CDOT Traffic Study primer to this e-mail to go over what we're looking for. 4. There most likely will be other permits you need. Looking at your site plan, I cannot tell if the landscaping intends to extend into the CDOT ROW as well. It can provided that the landscaping meets the requirements of our CDOT policy (attached). The permit for this is a free Utility/Special Use Permit. Speaking of utilities be advised that the CDOT Access Permit does not cover utility installations. You / the 3rd party utility firm will need to pull utility permits. 1.The city also asked that we discuss proper setback's from 1-25 with CDOT, I would appreciate any feedback on this matter. I have sent this request to the CDOT Engineering residency who is working on a potential Vine Drive bridge project. I do not know if their set -in -stone ROW lines extend back to this intersection. Please continue to follow up with me. Do you have some time on Monday or Tuesday for a quick call to discuss our project and review the above items. I look forward to hearing back.

They write: The FEIS plans do show reconstruction of the frontage road on the west side between SH 14 and Vine Dr. However, the ultimate 20% plans developed in 2015 show walls on mainline 1-25 to avoid this impact. See attached for sheets from both plansets. Looks like the frontage road will be reconstructed in its same location. No new ROW would be needed.

We are in the pre -development process for a project located at 3801-4099 Redman Drive in Ft. Collins. Attached is the site plan for your reference, as you will see, the site is adjacent to the frontage road and 1-25. We had a conceptual review meeting with the city on March 15`h, and the coordination with CDOT came up a few times during the meeting, then also referenced in a few of the city meeting notes that were circulated, which are outlined below.
