The BNS Services property is situated approximately 3 miles east of Parachute, Colorado, and is located at 2456, County Road 301. The nearest intersections to the site are: County Road 309 approximately 1 -mile to the west, and County Road 310 1/4 -mile to the east. Refer to Figure 1 for the vicinity map. EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND USES The site is currently vacant, and is zoned Rural. The owners are proposing construction of a contractor yard on the site. SITE ACCESS The site has an existing single driveway at the center of the property which accesses County Road 301. This road is posted as a designated truck route. Interstate 70, is approximately 3 -miles west of the site at Parachute CO, and is accessed via exit 75. The intersection of County Road 309 is approximately 1 -mile to the west of the site, and intersection of County Road 310 is 1/4 -mile to the east of the site.. SURROUNDING LAND USE The surrounding land use is zoned Rural and Planned Unit Development. CRITERIA This basic traffic analysis conforms to the submittal requirements set forth in Article IV, Section 4-502 (J) (3) of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 as Amended. CURRENT DAILY TRIP GENERATION The site is currently utilized for equipment and material storage. BNS Services currently has two (2) employees. Most employees report directly to the job site. There is no office at the site. The owners of the property have quantified the current daily trip generation of the site. The following is a summary of the owner's current daily trip generation: Vehicles Currently Accessing The Site Weekday Vehicle Trips Daily Trips AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total Heavy trucks 2 1 0 1 0 1 1 All Other Vehicles 4 1 1 2 1 1 2 Total Vehicles 6 2 1 3 1 2 3 CURRENT AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC The existing average daily traffic (ADT) on County Road 301 is 600 vehicles, according to the Garfield County Road System 2002 Transportation Study. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES Proposed construction activities are to include; construction of a proposed shop building, extension of utilities to the building site, grading of parking and equipment storage areas, and landscaping to screen the developed areas. The existing driveway is to remain unchanged. Construction staging is to be contained entirely within the property, at proposed parking and equipment storage areas adjacent to the building site. The existing driveway is adequate to accommodate the anticipated construction traffic. The expected duration of the construction is to be approximately 4 to 6 months. During construction, the anticipated frequency of heavy truck trips will be approximately 1 trip per hour. No construction within the County Road 301 Right -Of -Way is proposed. All construction is to be within the property limits. Therefore no lane closures or traffic interruptions of County Road 301 are anticipated. No County or State access permits should be needed. PROPOSED DAILY TRIP GENERATION DURING CONSTRUCTION Anticipated construction at the site is to include a shop building and additional areas for equipment and material storage. BNS Services anticipates having two (2) employees during construction. These employees will normally report directly to the job site. There will be no office at the site during construction. The owners of the property have quantified the daily trip generation of the site during construction. The following is a summary of the owner's anticipated daily trip generation during construction: Vehicles During Construction Weekday Vehicle Trips Daily Trips AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total Heavy trucks 8 4 0 4 0 4 4 All Other Vehicles 4 1 1 2 1 1 2 Total Vehicles 12 5 1 6 1 5 6 PROPOSED AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC DURING CONSTRUCTION During construction, the anticipated increase in average daily traffic of County Road 301 will be approximately 6 additional vehicles per day. The resulting average daily traffic (ADT) will be 606 vehicles, which equates to a temporary increase in ADT of 1.00 - percent. PROPOSED DAILY TRIP GENERATION AFTER CONSTRUCTION BNS Services anticipates having two (2) employees after construction. These employees will normally report directly to the job site. There will be no office at the site after construction. The owners of the property have quantified the daily trip generation of the site after construction. The following is a summary of the owner's anticipated daily trip generation after construction: Vehicles after Construction Weekday Vehicle Trips Daily Trips AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total Heavy trucks 2 1 0 1 0 1 1 All Other Vehicles 8 2 2 4 2 2 4 Total Vehicles 10 3 2 5 2 3 5 PROPOSED AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC AFTER CONSTRUCTION After construction, the anticipated increase in average daily traffic of County Road 301 will be approximately 4 additional vehicles per day. The resulting average daily traffic (ADT) will be 604 vehicles, which equates to a permanent increase in ADT of 0.67 -percent. CONCLUSION Based on the trip generation forecasts, the described operations at the site are not anticipated to have negative impacts on County Road 301 or the surrounding roadways. The noted increase in traffic during and after construction represents a negligible net increase of approximately 1 -percent above the average daily traffic.
