This TIS is for the proposed Simpson USR project located at 43646 WCR 45, Ault, CO in Weld County, CO. See Figure 1: Vicinity Map. Kellar Engineering LLC (KE) has prepared the TN to document the results of the project's anticipated traffic conditions in accordance with Weld County's requirements and to identify projected impacts to the local and regional traffic system. 2.0 Existing Conditions and Roadway Network The project site is located south of the intersection of Weld County Road 90 (WCR 90) and Weld County Road 45 (WCR 45) in Weld County, CO. Access to the project site is proposed from a full -movement access to WCR 45. WCR 90 is an existing east -west roadway with a posted speed of 55 mph. WCR 90 is classified as a collector roadway on the Weld County Functional Classification Map. WCR 45 is an existing unpaved, low volume north -south roadway that is classified as a local street on the Weld County Functional Classification Map. 2.1 Existing Traffic Volumes Existing peak hour traffic volume counts were conducted using data collection cameras at the intersection of WCR 90 and WCR 45 on Tuesday, October 16, 2018. The traffic counts were conducted during the peak hours of adjacent street traffic in 15 -minute intervals from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. These turning movement counts are shown in Figure 3 with the count sheets provided in Appendix A.

Additionally, the proposed land use associated with the project is not anticipated to generate additional pedestrian or bicycle trips. Any additional pedestrian or bicycle traffic from this development, if any, would be negligible. 4.0 Proposed Project The proposed project consists of the Simpson USR application. See Section 4.1 and Table 1: Trip Generation. Vehicular access to the project site is proposed from a full -movement access to WCR 45. See Figure 2. 4.1 Trip Generation Site generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip generation. Rates and equations are applied to the proposed land use to estimate traffic generated by the development during a specific time interval. The acknowledged source for trip generation rates is the Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition does not provide detailed data related to the proposed use. Therefore, the trip generation is based upon the below information provided by the client. Vehicle roundtripslday: A. Passenger cars / pickups = 48 B. Tandem trucks = 2 C. Semi -trucks 16 There will be 6 full-time employees which generates approximately 6 rou ndtripslday or 12 tripslday. These full-time employees are primarily for the agricultural business. These employees will be used at times for the commercial uses. We estimate that 85% of the time these full-time employees will be utilized for the agricultural business. Part-time employees will be used seasonally for agricultural farming and harvesting. These employees are exclusively for the agricultural operations. These 14 part-time employees will generate approximately 14 Simpson USR Traffic impact Study Page 6 rou n dtri ps/day or 28 trips/day. S n a busy day, there may be as many as 4 other vehicles accessing this property for agricultural or commercial reasons. This generates approximately 4 roundtrips/day or 8 trips/day. Altogether, full-time employees + part-time employees + others = approximately 24 roundtri pslday or 48 tri pslday. The tandem truck leaves in the morning and returns in the evening generating 1 roundtrips/day or 2 trips/day. This tandem truck is primarily used for agricultural purposes estimated at 85% of the time. For commercial use this truck may not return to this site each day. The semi -trucks are primarily used for agricultural farming and harvesting purposes. Seasonally these trucks could generate 8 roundtripslday or 16 trips/day, The rest of the time these trucks may be rented to other companies for their transportation needs and not access this site. Otherwise they will be parked in designated areas. These trucks will be utilized for agricultural uses more than 85% of the time, this study will use these numbers as a conservative estimate. The agricultural farming and harvesting seasonal operations are primarily between May and October. This would be the largest amount of agricultural traffic use. The rest of the year traffic will be split between agricultural and commercial use. Below is information showing the 85% use for agriculture and remaining commercial use. Trips/day Agriculture Use Commercial Use Passenger cars / pickups 40.8 Tandem trucks 1.7 Semi -trucks (seasonal peak) 13.6 7.2 0.3 2.4 Using the above information, a conservative traffic estimate was generated assuming 35 AM total peak hour trips and 35 PM total peak hour trips. Therefore, the Simpson USR project is conservatively anticipated to generate approximately 70 daily trips, 35 total AM peak hour trips, and 35 total PM peak hour trips. See Table 1: Trip Generation.

The directional distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site generated traffic that approaches the site from a given direction and departs the site back to the original source. Figure 4 illustrates the trip distribution used for the project's analysis. 4.3 Traffic Assignment Traffic assignment was obtained by applying the trip distribution to the estimated trip generation of the development. Figures 5 shows the site generated traffic assignment. 4.4 Short Range Total Peak Hour Traffic Site generated peak hour traffic volumes were added to the background traffic volumes to represent the estimated traffic conditions for the short range 2020 horizon. These background (2020) and short range (2020) total traffic volumes are shown in Figures 6 and 7 respectively. The short range analysis year 2020 includes the proposed development for this project plus a 3% per year increase in background traffic. 5.0 Traffic Operation Analysis KE's analysis of traffic operations in the site vicinity was conducted to determine the capacity at the identified intersections. The acknowledged source for determining overall capacity is the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Simpson USR Traffic Impact Study Page 14 5.1 Analysis Methodology Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of level of service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative term describing operating conditions a driver will experience while traveling on a particular street or highway during a specific time interval. LOS ranges from an A (very little delay) to an F (long delays). A description of the level of service (LOS) for signalized and unsignalized intersections from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) are provided in Appendix B. 5.2 Intersection Operational Analysis Operational analysis was performed for the short range 2020 horizon. The calculations for this analysis are prodded in Appendix E. Using the short range total traffic volumes shown in Figure 7, the project's intersections are projected to operate acceptably. See Table 4 for the 2020 Short Range Total Peak Hour Operation. 5.3 Intersection Improvements The auxiliary lane analysis for the study intersections were conducted using CDOT State Highway Access Code (SHAG). Based upon the SHAC, a left -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a posted speed above 40 mph and a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 10 vph. Additionally, a right -turn deceleration lane is required at an intersection with a posted speed above 40 mph and a projected peak hour ingress turning volume greater than 25 vph; and a right -turn acceleration lane is required at an intersection with a projected peak egress turning volume greater than 50 vph. Additionally, based upon Section 3.5 of the SHAG, auxiliary lanes requirements are not required for the left -turn deceleration lane when the predicted opposing traffic is below 100 DHV. Based upon the projected traffic of the development and the State Highway Access Code (SHAG), auxiliary lanes are not required for the project.

All intersections are projected to operate acceptably upon development of the Simpson U S R project. See Appendix E for Synchro 9 outputs. The findings of the TIS are summarized below: • The proposed project is anticipated to conservatively generate approximately 70 daily weekday trips, 35 AM total peak hour trips, and 35 PM total peak hour trips. See Section 4.1. • The key intersections are projected to operate acceptably (LOS A) with the development of the project and background traffic in the 2020 Short Range Total future. The existing street improvements are sufficient to accommodate the proposed project's traffic. • Auxiliary turn lanes are not required for the project based upon the requirements in the CDOT State Highway Access Code (SHAG).

KELLAR ENGINEERING February 22, 2019 Hayley Balzano Weld County Public Works 1111 H Street P.O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632-0758 (970) 400-3738 RE: Simpson USR TIS Response to Comments Kellar Engineering (KE) comment responses in blue font. 1. Comment. The TIS did not provide data for future potential uses. Response. Thank you for your comments. The TIS actually did provide the trip generation data for the future potential uses on the property. The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) followed the procedures recommended by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for traffic impact studies. First, weekday peak hour traffic counts were conducted using Miovision data collection cameras (Recent Traffic). These traffic counts also included any existing traffic counts coming from the property (Recent Traffic). Next, background traffic was conservatively grown per the NFRMPO growth rates (Background Traffic). Next the trip generation for the future potential uses for the property were added (Site Generated Traffic). Finally, all of these peak hour traffic numbers were combined to give the most conservative future traffic generation estimate (Short Range Total Traffic). 2. Comment. The trips traveled currently warrant a left-hand deceleration lane at the access to the site and a left-hand deceleration lane on County Road 45 at County Road 90. Response. Per the CDOT State Highway Access Code (SHAC), the existing and proposed future traffic at the property do not warrant auxiliary lanes (turn lanes). See Figure 3, Figure 5, and Figure 7 in the TIS. As discussed over the phone, County Road 45 is an unpaved roadway. The traffic volumes do not warrant paving CR 45. In order to construct auxiliary lanes in CR 45, it would need to be paved. Additionally, the existing and future proposed traffic do not warrant auxiliary lanes (turn lanes) at the site access or at the CR 90/CR 45 intersection per CDOT SHAC. Per Section 3.5 of the SHAC, auxiliary lane requirements are not required for the left -turn deceleration lane when the predicted opposing traffic is below 100 vph (DHV). As shown in Figure 3, the opposing traffic volumes on CR 45 are less than 10 vph in the peak hour. This is far below the threshold to require turn lanes. See Section 5.3 in the TIS. 1 oft KELLAR ENGINEERING 3. Comment. The author of the TIS states because the speed of County Road 45 is 25 mph, the auxiliary lanes are not warranted. Public Works does not have any records indicating that the speed limit on County Road 45 is 25 mph, so we are requiring the auxiliary lanes. Response. Yes. Thank you. The 25 mph text has been removed from the TIS. This information was incorrect based upon information provided by the traffic counting sub- contractor who assumed the 25 mph posted speed based upon CR 45 being a gravel roadways As discussed over the phone, using a 55 mph posted speed, auxiliary lanes are not required on CR 45 per the SHAC due to the traffic volumes being lower than the threshold. See section 5.3 in the TM. Additionally, all studied intersections operate at Level of Service A (LOS A) for the Short Range Total analysis which is excellent level of service per the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). See Synchro outputs in the TIS and Table 4. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (97Q) 219-1602 or skellar@kellarengineering.com.

The property is parcel # 055126000013 per the Weld County Assessor's Office. The property is 80 acres in size zoned Agriculture. Historically this property has been used for agricultural purposes and a private residence. This USR is to allow Mr. and Mrs. Simpson to run their business on this property. We do not anticipate any changes to the property as it is used now, except for installing a fence to screen parking and outdoor storage. The proposed use of this property is to continue primarily as an agricultural use. This USR is to use this property for business related items such as: storage, maintenance, repair, product and equipment sales, fertilizer storage, general contractor, welding operations, research and development for non -hazardous products, oil and gas equipment (not to include oil, oil products or hazardous materials). The hours of operation for the agricultural use may be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Other operations are from 7:30am to Spin Monday thru Saturday.
