RE: CDOT State Highway 82 Frontage Road Access Permit Request
RF Land Co, LLC — Carbondale, Colorado
Sopris Engineering, Job #30201
Dear Mr. Killian,
The following attached Access Permit Application is for a proposed change of use located 400 feet East of Highway
82 marker post 17. The proposed re -development is to convert a single-family home with accessory dwelling unit, to
an office with 12 employees and two one -bedroom apartments.
Sopris Engineering anticipates low traffic increase due to the re -development. The peak hour traffic was calculated
using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The existing peak hour
traffic for the residential home and ADU was found to be 3 PHV and the proposed re -development would increase
that peak hour traffic to 8 PHV.
Proposed AM Peak Hour Trips:
ITE Code 710 (General Office Building):
A.M. Peak Hour: 0.48 vehicle trips per Employee =>
(.48) (12 Employees) = 5.76 PHV (6)
ITE Code 220 (Apartment):
A.M. Peak Hour: 0.77 vehicle trips per Apartment=>
(0.51) (2 One Bedroom Apartments) = 1.02 PHV (2)
Proposed PM Peak Hour Trips:
ITE Code 710 (General Office Building):
P.M. Peak Hour: 0.48 vehicle trips per Employee =>
(.46) (12 Employees) = 5.52 PHV (6)
ITE Code 220 (Apaiiinent):
P.M. Peak Hour: 0.62 vehicle trips per Apartment =>
(0.62) (2 One Bedroom Apartments) = 1.24 PHV (2)
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please let us know.
