Dear Mr. Frank:
We havIr e reviewed the Hewlett-Packard Extansion (Building 6) and the 8/88
'ewlett-Packard Facility Eroansion Site Access Study" by 6!att Delich, P.E.
The expansion of the H-P facility will generate sufficient additional
traffic at the existing main access and the existing limited -use east
access to S.H. 68 to require conformance of these access approaches to the
State Highway Access Code. In this case, conformance involves bringing
the existing turn lanes at each access up to the design standards of the
Code. This will mean that the existing median left -turn deceleration
lanes need to be lengthened to serve the projected increase in traffic.
Also, the right -turn acceleration and deceleration lanes would need to be
lengthened. Due to the distance between the County Road 9 and the east
H-P access, and the required length of these lanes according to the Code,
a continuous right -turn lane would be necessary to improve roadway
consistency, safety, and to maintain edge continuity.
This facility expansion will also impact the intersection of C.R. 9
and S.H. 68. Conformance of this public intersection to the Code is the
responsibility of the appropriate local authority. Turn lane improvements,
such as an eastbound double left -turn lane on S.H. 68 for the long-range
traffic, should be considered by the City and/or County to maintain an
acceptable level of service. In addition, funds for traffic signals at C.R. 9
and the two H-P access approaches to S.H. 68 should be given consideration so
that signals can be installed when they are warranted by actual traffic volumes.
The improvements to the accesses on S.H. 68 will require an Access Permit.
Application for this permit is made to the City of Ft. Collins.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. Please contact
Wally Jacobson at 350-2168 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mike:
Enclosed are the original signed Access Permits and Variance

Harmony Road and Minor Road. You already have the revised
drawings showing the planned improvements.
Please process these permits so that Hewlett Packard can proceed
with construction of the improvements. You can contact either
Lloyd McLaughlin or myself with any questions or comments.
