This property is bordered on the south by the Schrader property (gas station) and on the a north by the Holter property (vacant parcel on the south and a a motel on the north of the Holter property). At this time, 'z the owner of the Holter property is not interested in developing the south portion of that parcel. He has expressed m no interest in dedicating right-of-way so that the east leg M M of Kensington Drive could line up with the west leg of Kensington Drive. The property line between the subject property and the Holter property is skewed to the southeast by 40 15' from perpendicular. This is also shown in Figure 1. As a result of this, the owner of College, Ltd proposed that the east leg of Kensington Drive be totally on the College Ltd property. Fort Collins staff requested an evaluation of whether the offset of Kensington Drive (east and west legs) and the skewed east leg will present operational problems. The South College Median Design, conducted by the City of Fort Collins, has been completed in this area. These design plans were used in the following evaluations. z Figure 2 shows the South College median design in this area w with the east leg of Kensington Drive drawn at the proposed ? location. The east leg of Kensington Drive is shown with a z 36 foot cross section which would allow one eastbound lane, '•'-! and two westbound lanes (a left -turn lane and a through/right- turn lane). U x o Figure 3 shows the turning tracks for a full size passenger car. Figure 4 shows the turning tracks for a WB-50 W ¢ combination truck. These are the extremes of the vehicles o a that would be expected to use this intersection. Left -turn z ingress and egress at Kensington Drive do not conflict with Q each other when considering the offset street locations. It is concluded that this intersection can be handled by a signal 3 without separate phases for each leg of Kensington Drive or LU separate phases for each left turn from College Avenue. x a cc ~ It is recommended that this design be considered for the east `= leg of Kensington Drive as a temporary condition and, if necessary, as a permanent condition.
