Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT Final Plat for Sunnyside Subdivision Phase 2 MEETING DATE: May 3, 2004 BACKGROUND: This is a request for final plat approval of Sunnyside Subdivision Phase 2 that plats 38 townhouse lots and 17 single family lots for a total of 55 lots on approximately 9.063 acres. This phase of Sunnyside Subdivision lies south of Sunnyside Drive, and west of Boise Avenue. Phase 1 of Sunnyside subdivision was platted in September of 2003 with those seven lots fronting along Boise Avenue. Phase 2 lies to the west of Phase 1 and includes a new internal roadway with an access off of Sunnyside Drive which is an extension of Ashley Drive. This subdivision is being platted in two phases rather than the three phases initially anticipated primarily because of market conditions. The property was annexed into the city and the subdivision given preliminary plat approval by the Kalispell City Council on October 7, 2002 subject to 15 conditions. The following is a list of the conditions of preliminary plat approval for this subdivision and a discussion of how they have been met or otherwise addressed. One of the conditions of approval for the subdivision was a traffic impact study assessing the impacts to the roadways in the area and recommended improvements. The traffic study recommended an intersection sign be installed approximately 300 feet from Ashley Creek for west bound traffic. A bond has been posted for this sign as well as the street signs and is part of the subdivision improvements agreement. Additionally, the study recommended that a clear vision triangle be maintained at the southeast corner of Ashley Drive and Sunnyside Drive. However, there are several pre-existing utility boxes and telephone pedestals that were in existence prior to the platting of the subdivision which cannot be easily relocated. In accordance with the conditions of approval, approximately two-thirds of the required infrastructure has been completed and a subdivision improvements agreement has been submitted with a letter of credit in the amount of 125 percent of the cost of the remaining improvements or in the amount of $150,420.00. The remaining improvements are anticipated to be fully completed by July 31, 2004. A proportionate share of the required cash in lieu of parkland dedication was submitted with the final plat application in the amount of $7,025.70.

The project is located in southwest Kalispell, Montana in the vicinity of Sunnyside Drive and Denver Avenue. Figure 1 illustrates the proposed project location. As part of the review process, the Tri-City Planning Office has requested that a Traffic Impact Study be completed in accordance with local requirements and nationally accepted standards. This Traffic Impact Study assesses anticipated trafficimpacts. associated with the proposed development and recommends appropriate mitigation measures for the adjacent transportation nemrork. gI STING CONDITIONS Valley View and Su wx side Drives provide primary local road access to the subdivision via either Foys Lake Road or 5'h Avenue West. Sunnyside Drive is approximately 22 feet wide in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision. The posted speed limit in this area is 25 mph. Denver Avenue is located immediately east of the proposed development and serves an existing residential subdivision known as Lone Pine View Estates. The proposed development is currently undeveloped agricultural land and is zoned as R-4 Figure 2 depicts the local streets and site circulation. The City of Kalispell Public Works Department provided existing 24-hour tube counts. These counts were located and recorded as follows: Additional traffic counts were not recorded for purposes of this evaluation. The peak hour volumes noted in the above table were utilized to estimate turn movements at Sunnyside Drive and Denver Avenue. Ashley Drive, north of Sunnyside Drive exists as a loop and serYices few properties, Therefore, traffic volumes are assumed to be negligible at this intersection. Existing AM and PM pea]- hour traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 3.

Analysis was limited to the intersection of Sunnyside, Drive and Deaver Avenue, which, is stop -controlled at the northbound Denver Avenue approach. Level -of semce (LOS) at unsignalized intersections is quantified in terms of delay. Results range from LOS A to LOS F, where LOS A represents the least delay and most favorable conditions and LOS F represents significtnt delay and very poor conditions. Under niost local conditions design should attempt to provide LOS C, or better. The existing condition analysis reveals that this intersection is operating under very favorable traffic conditions. The following table summarizes these results, while a full output report is provided in the Appendix. Sunnuside Drive and Denver Avenue t -47 1 �l E z it ea ; . If 77 -� PROPOSED DEVELO!'MENT 'The proposed development will consist of a 62-lot subdivision to include 24 single-family home lots and 38 townhouse lots. The single-famtily lots are approximately 0.14 acre each while the townhouse lots are approximately 0.085 to 0.095 acre each. The total subdivision encompasses 10.029 acres. Subdivision plans include extending Ashley Drive approximately 1200 feet south of Sunnyside Drive to provide direct service to the subdivision lots. Additionally, street connections are proposed between Ashley Drive and Denver Avenue at Santa Fe and Bismark Streets within the subdivision. All proposed roads are two lanes. A field review of intersection sight distance was performed at Sunnyside Drive and Ashley Drive, as this location will be the primary access point for the subdivision. In order for a vehicle to safely maneuver from a stopped position at this location adequate sight distance must be provided in both east and west directions along Sunnyside Drive. Estimated sight distance along Sunnyside Drive, from the Ashley Drive approaches, is 525 to 540 feet to the west and 250 to 280 feet to the east, A Policy oo, Geometric Design. of Hig,�}ways and Streets, Fourth Edition, AASHTO, 2001 identifies sight distance parameters necessary for safe vehicle maneuvers. The controlling, or greatest, intersection sight distance is for left fuming vehicles. In this particular case, a sight distance value of 275.6 feet is calculated for, a 25 mph design speed. Right turn and crossing maneuvers require 240 feet of intersection sight distance at 25 mph. These Calculations indicate that available sight distance is sufficient.

In accordance with these procedures, trip generation computations are presented in the following tables for AM peak hour, PM peak hour and daily conditions, respectively' Site generated trips were distributed 65% to Ashley Drive and 35% to Denver Avenue. At Sunnvside Drive, these trips were distributed 35% to the west and 65% to the east. Figure 4 depicts resultant site generated traffic volumes for the AM and PM peak hour conditions. Site generated traffic volumes were combined with the existing traffic volumes to forecast total traffic conditions upon completion of the proposed subdivision. These volumes are indicated on Figurr 5.

GONG USIONS A NV RECOMIKENUATIONS Based upon this evaluation, it is concluded that the proposed Surinyside Subdivision. will not adversely affect the adjacent street network, or operation of adjacent intersections. As is evident by the capacity analysis, impacts at the intersection of Sunnyside Drive and Ashley Drive are negligible. Additionally, Sunnyside Drive should easily accommodate traffic volumes forecast for the development. The proposed intersection of Sunnyside Drive and Ashley Drive will meett sight distance requirements for a design speed of 25 mph. However, it is noted that sight distance to the east of this location just meets required conditions (field recorded 250 to 280 feet vs. calculated 275,E feet), To further improve safety it is suggested that an intersection warning sign (W2-1) be placed in the westbound direction on Sunnyside Drive approximately 300 feet in advance of Ash1Lv Drive. Further, within the sight triangle as noted by Figure 6, a clear view free of obstructions should be Provided. This can be accomplished by limiting landscaping, fences or structures within the intersection vicinity to a maximum height of 3 feet The Kalispell Area Transportation Plan, October 1993 discusses infrastructure improvements related to the proposed Kalispell Bypass, The southern section of the Bypass is planned along the railroad corridor from US 93 to US 2.

The project is located in southwest Kalispell, Montana in the vicinity of Sunnyside Drive and Denver Avenue. Figure 1 illustrates the proposed project location. As part of the review process, the Tri-City Planning Office has requested that a Traffic Impact Study be completed in accordance with local requirements and nationally accepted standards. This Traffic Impact Study assesses anticipated traffic .impacts associated with the proposed development and recommends appropriate mitigation measures for the adjacent transportation nemrork. EXIS?7NG CONI�D7T4NS Valley Vimv and Sunnyside Drives provide primary local road access to the subdivision via either Foys Lake Road or 51h Avenue West. Sunnyside Drive is approximately 22 feet wide in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision. 77he posted speed limit in this area is 25 mph. Denver Avenue is located immediately east of the proposed development and serves an existing residential subdivision known as Lone Pine View Estates. The proposed development is currently undeveloped agricultural land and is zoned w R-4. Figure 2 depicts the local streets and site circulation. The City of Kalispell Public Works Depurttrient provided existing 24-hour tube counts. These counts were located and recorded as follows: Additional traffic counts were not recorded for purposes of this evaluation. The peak hour volumes noted in the above table were utilized to estimate turn movements at Sunnyside Drive and Denver Avenue. Ashley Drive, north of Sunnyside chive exists as a loop and services few properties. Therefore, txaf.'iic volumes are assumed to be negligible at this intersection.

Drive and Denver Avenue, which is stop -controlled at the northbound Denver Avenue approach. Level -of service (LOS) at unsignalized intersections is quantified in terms of delay. Results range from LOS A to LOS F, where LOS A represents the least delay and most favorable conditions and LOS F represents significant delay and very poor conditions_ Under niost local conditions design should attarmpt to provide LOS C, or better. The existing condition analysis reveals that this intersection is operating under very favorable traffic conditions. The following gable summarizes these results, while a full output report is provided in. the Appendix. PR0)) 0- S—FD kEs VETL4PM�7VT The proposed dcveloprnent will consist of a 62-lot subdivision to include 24 single -fancily home lots and 38 townhouse lots. The single-family lots are approximately 0.14 acre each while the townhouse lots are approximately 0.085 to 0.095 acre each. The total subdivision encompasses 10.029 ams. Subdivision plans include extending Ashley Drive approximately 1200 feet south of Sunnyside Drive to provldc direct service to the subdivision lots. Additionally, street connections axe proposed between Ashley Drive and Denver Avenue at Santa Fe and Bismark Streets within the subdivision. All proposed roads are two lanes. A field review of intersection sight distance was performed at Sunnyside Drive and ,Ashley Drive, as this location will be the primary access point for the subdivision. In order for a vehicle to safely maneuver from a stopped position at this location adequate sight distance must be provided in both east and west directions along Sunnyside Drive. Estimated sight distance along Sunnyside Drive, from the Ashley Drive approaches, is 525 to 540 teet to the west and 250 to 280 feet to the east. A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets.Iou*th Edition, AASHTO, 2001. identifies sight distance parameters necessary for safe vehicle maneuvers. The controlling, or greatest, intersection sight distance is for left turning vehicles. Jn this particular case, a sight distance value of 275.6 frett is calculated for a 25 mph design speed. Right thin and crossing maneuvers require 240 .feet of intersection sight distance at 25 mph. 'These calculations indicate that available sight distance is sufficient.

In accordance with these procedures, trip generation computations are presented in the following tables for AM peak hour, PM peak hour and daily conditions, respectively, Site generated trips were distributed 65% to Ashley Drive and 35% to Denver Avenue_ At Sunnyside Drive, these trips were distributed 35% to the west and 65% to the east. Figure 4 depicts resultant site generated traffic volutntg for the AM and PM peak hour conditions.

As is evident by the capacity analysis, impacts at the intersection of Sumnyside Drive and Ashley Drive are negligible. Additionally, Sunnyside Drive should easily accommodate traffic volumes forecast for the development. The proposed intersection of Sunnyside Drive and Ashley Drive will meet sight distance requirements for a design speed of 25 mph. However, it is noted that sight distance to the east of this location just meets required conditions (field recorded 250 to 280 feet vs. calculated 275,E feet). To further improve safety it is suggested that an intersection warning sign (W2-1) be placed in the Westbound direction on Sunnyside Drive approximately 300 feet in advance of Ashlev Drive. Further, within the sight triangle as noted by Figure 6, a clear view free of obstructions should be provided. This can be accomplished by limiting laiidscaping, fences or structures within the intersection vicinity to a maximum height of 3 feet. The Kalispell_Area TransUortation Plan, October 1993 discusses infrastructure improvements related to the proposed Kalispell F3ypw,,.,;. The southern section of the Bypass is planned along the railroad corridor from US 93 to US 2. within this section a signalized intersection is planned NBC 9 of 10 PAGE 12 + at Foys Fake Road. Additionally, improvements to Sunnyside Drive from `Iallevzjew Drive to 5'' Avenue West are programmed. This work would likely involve widening, intersection enhancements and improved roadway geometries. These improvemcrits are expected tc improve traffic operations and increase travel demand in the immediate vicinity. , • aunn�aioe Vnv� --------------------------- Intemectl„n Sight Triangle FIGURE 6 Page. 10 of 10 WeSLelll bl'vl[el'S C.
