Thank you for referring the proposal for our review. CDOT has the following comments:
The traffic study notes that the left turn lane is not required and could be waived. We recommend the frontage
road be studied for the current width to allow a left turn lane to be striped for turning and stacking of vehicles, We
would like the opportunity to review the design when the turn lane is provided.
2. The study notes an increase in daily trips over the 20% threshold for an access permit. CDOT will require a new
access permit, To obtain permission to modify the trips of a vehicular access, a state highway Access Permit is
required, Please have the applicant visit our website at

RE: 2012 Traffic Study
Dear Ms. Reckert:
From prior discussions in your offices earlier this summer, whereat we described Mountain
Phoenix intentions to bring modular 'relocatable' buildings to its Wheat Ridge campus, by way
of follow -up, at your specific request, a Traffic Study was commissioned to support this effort.
By having this Traffic Study conducted, we wanted to let you know that we have acknowledged
your request. Regrettably, summer vacations and scheduling conflicts, both with the traffic
professionals as well as with the Governing Council's new members, slowed this process. At a
special Governing Council meeting this last Thursday, August 2 " the Traffic Study's completion
was verified for distribution to the City of Wheat Ridge Planning Staff offices.
Should you wish further clarification or follow -up discussion, please do not hesitate to contact
us at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,

Re: MPCS - 2012 Update
Wheat Ridge, CO
(LSC #120290)
Dear Donna:
We are pleased to submit our report of the traffic impacts of the proposed Mountain Phoenix
Community School (MPCS) in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This report is an update of our May 12,
2011 study which assumed an enrollment of 275 students in grades pre -K to 8. This update
analyzes the impact of increasing the student capacity to 429 students.
This study first provides a summary of existing traffic conditions in the vicinity of the proposed
site. It then provides estimates of the amount and directional distribution of traffic that will be
generated by the proposed expansion as well as estimates of existing plus project - generated
traffic volumes on the surrounding road system. Estimates of Year 2032 background and total
traffic are also provided. Finally, the impacts of the project's generated traffic are evaluated and
recommendations are made regarding roadway improvements.
Site Location and Proposed Use
The project site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Miller Street with the
1 -70 South Frontage Road in the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, as shown in Figure 1. The
parking lots and access drives are depicted on the aerial in Figure 2. MPCS is a charter school
that currently serves 275 students in grades pre -K to 8. Grades 6 - 8 (70 students plus their
siblings) start school at 8:05 AM, while the rest of the students start at 8:30 AM. About 10%
of total enrollment will be in Before School Care which starts at 7:00 AM. All grades end at 3:30
PM, with about 20% involved in after school activities. Pre -K and Kindergarten are split in
morning and afternoon sessions. The proposed plan is to increase enrollment from 275 to 429
students.
Existing Roadway Characteristics
At the existing site, there are four access drives. There are entrance and exit drives on the I -70
South Frontage Road on the north side of the property. The other accesses serve a parking lot
Ms. Donna Newberg -Long Page 2 July 26, 2012
MPCS - 2012 Update
on the east side of the school along Miller Street. The north parking lot has a one -way drop -
off /pick -up lane. The entrance to the east parking lot is located approximately 95 feet south
of the I -70 South Frontage Road with the exit located approximately 140 feet south of the
entrance. The exit for the parking lot and one -way drop -off is a two -lane exit for making either
left- or right -turns. Figure 3, enclosed, illustrates the site location relative to the surrounding
roadway system. Figure 3 also illustrates the existing lane geometry and traffic control at the
intersection of the 1 -70 South Frontage Road with Miller Street, the I -70 South Frontage Road
with the parking lot on the north side of the school property, and Miller Street with the
entrance and exit on the east side of the school property. Both Miller Street and the I -70 South
Frontage Road are paved two -lane roads. Miller Street runs north and south while the I -70
South Frontage Road runs east and west. At the "T" intersection of the I -70 South Frontage
Road with Miller Street, all approaches contain one lane.
Existing and Future Background Traffic
Figure 3 also illustrates existing peak -hour intersection turning movement traffic volumes in
the vicinity of MPCS. These traffic counts were conducted in July, 2012 when school was in
summer recess by Counter Measures, Inc. Printouts of all count data are in Appendix A.
Based on discussions with City of Wheat Ridge staff during the previous traffic study, it was
anticipated that the traffic volumes in the vicinity of MPCS will grow by about two percent per
year. This annual growth corresponds to a 20 -year growth factor of about 1.49. This factor was
applied to the 2012 through movements on Miller Street and the I -70 South Frontage Road at
their intersections with the access points. This factor was applied to all the movements at the
intersection of the I -70 South Frontage Road with Miller Street. These volumes are shown on
Figure 4 as Year 2032 Background Traffic. The background traffic is the future traffic volume
on the area roadways without the expected traffic generated by MPCS and forms the basis for
evaluating the impacts that traffic generated by the proposed MPCS expansion will have on the
surrounding roadway system.
Estimated Traffic Generation
The expanded MPCS will have 384 students in Grades K - 8 and 45 students in pre -K. The
amount of traffic that will be generated has been estimated based upon trip generation rates
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the 8' Edition, 2008, of Trip
Generation The results of the analyses are shown in Table 1. As indicated, the expanded MPCS
is expected to generate 202 vehicle -trips entering and 166 trips exiting during the morning
peak period. During the afternoon peak period, the school is expected to generate 117 entering
vehicles and 133 exiting vehicles exiting from the school's access drives.
Estimated Traffic Distribution and Assignment
Based on the distribution of existing traffic, about five percent of the traffic will be oriented to
and from the west on the I -70 South Frontage Road, 70 percent will be oriented to and from
the east on the I -70 South Frontage Road, and the remaining 25 percent will be oriented to and
from the south on Miller Street. These traffic distribution estimates are shown on Figure 5.
Application of these percentages to the peak -hour trip generation estimates of Table 1 yields
Ms. Donna Newberg -Long Page 3 July 26, 2012
MPCS - 2012 Update
the intersection traffic assignments shown on Figure 6. Note that the pre -K and K students are
dropped off and picked up in the east parking area while the rest of the students will use the
north parking area and drop- off /pick -up lane. The staff will be split between the two parking
areas.
Finally, Figures 7 and 8 illustrate existing plus project - generated and 2032 total traffic
volumes, respectively, which are the combination of background (Figures 3 and 4) and project -
generated (Figure 6) traffic.
Capacity Analyses
In order to assess the impacts of the expanded MPCS, related capacity analyses have been
performed which compare the base traffic and future background traffic operating conditions
(Figures 3 and 4) with those reflecting the addition of project - generated traffic (Figures 7 and 8).
Additionally, capacity analyses have been performed for the existing traffic volumes at the
existing intersections and access points. The methodology used is that presented in the High-
way Capacity Manual published by the Transportation Research Board. The concept of Level
of Service (LOS) is used as a basis for computing combinations of roadway operation conditions.
By definition, six different Levels of Service are used (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with "A" being a
relatively free -flow condition and "E" representing the "capacity" of a given intersection or traffic
movement.
Table 2 summarizes the results of our LOS analyses. Appendix B contains output from the
Synchro software.
Because of the relatively low existing and future background traffic volumes, there are no
significant existing or anticipated problems with the Level of Service of any of the intersections.
The lowest Level of Service on any of the movements is anticipated to be LOS "B ", considered
"very good", with or without the addition of project - generated traffic during both peak -hours
through Year 2032.
Pick -UP /Drop -Off Vehicle St orage Capaci
One of the important things for a school to have for efficient operation is the capacity to
temporarily store all the vehicles who are dropping off and picking up students. The most
critical times for needed storage is during the peak -hours of the school operation. The morning
peak -hour for the school generally coincides with the peak -hour for traffic on the adjacent
streets while the afternoon peak -hour for the school generally occurs about one hour before the
evening peak -hour for adjacent street traffic.
After the proposed MPCS Wheat Ridge Campus is expanded, the total number of trips into and
out of the north parking lot during the morning peak will be about 132 and 111, respectively.
It can be assumed that the difference between the two (2 1) will be the number of vehicles that
are parking in marked stalls for an extended amount of time with the number exiting (111
being vehicles that are dropping off students. Assuming that the 111 vehicles arrive over a
period of 20 minutes, this yields an arrival rate of about 5.55 vehicles per minute (111 vehicles
over 20 minutes). Additionally, it is assumed that the average service time (time for dropping
Ms. Donna Newberg -Long Page 4 July 26, 2012
MPCS - 2012 Update
off a student) is about 10 seconds because the school serves four vehicles at a time in about
40 seconds, so a total of six vehicles per minute can be serviced during the morning period or
about 120 vehicles over the 20- minute arrival period. Minimal queuing is expected if the school
can maintain a 6 vehicle per minute service rate.
In the afternoon peak -hour for the school (about 3:00 to 4:00 PM), it is assumed that about 77
vehicles arrive at the north parking lot over 15 minutes yielding the arrival rate of 5.17 vehicles
per minute. The evening service time for picking up students is assumed to be about 15
seconds (or four vehicles per minute) or about 60 vehicles over the 15- minute arrival period.
This results in an estimated 17 more vehicles arriving in 15 minutes than the service rate can
accommodate. Room for about 17 queued vehicles should be provided in the north lot.
Interstate 70 Frontage Road Access
The Interstate 70 Frontage Road adjacent to the site is classified as Category F -R by the
Colorado Department of Transportation. Items 2 and 3 of Section 3.14 of the Colorado State
Highway Access Code state the following:
... one access shall be granted to each parcel... additional accesses will be granted if the
additional access would not knowingly cause a hardship to an adjacent property or inter-
fere with the location, planning, and operation of the general street system, and would
be in compliance with code design. Additional access will be granted if the size or trip
generation potential of the parcel of land requires additional access to maintain good
design.
One full movement intersection and one exit -only intersection with the I -70 Frontage Road
serve the site. As indicated on Table 2, traffic operations at the proposed access intersections
with I -70 and at the intersection of I -70 /Miller Street are expected to be "very good", according
to Highway Capacity Software classifications, at Level of Service "B" or better. The proposed
second access will also allow for inclusion of a one -way student drop - off /pick -up design that
can effectively process the concentrated traffic volumes associated with the beginning and end
of the school day. This design will help to alleviate congestion during peak- hours.
At the full movement access on the north side of the property, there will be a high of 125 west-
bound left -turns into the access during the morning peak -hour. Item 4a of section 3.13 of the
Colorado State Highway Access Code states the following:
A left turn lane with storage length plus taper length is required for any access with a
projected peak -hour left ingress turning volume greater than 25 vph.
However, projected Year 2032 traffic volumes indicate that these left -turns will be opposed by
47 and 61 eastbound through and right- turning vehicles during the AM and PM peak- hours,
respectively. According to Item 5 of Section 3.5 of the Colorado State Highway Access Code
"The auxiliary lanes required in the category design standards may be waived when the
20' year predicted roadway volumes conflicting with the turning vehicle are below the
Ms. Donna Newberg -Long Page 5 July 26, 2012
MPCS - 2012 Update
following minimum volume thresholds...." "...The left turn deceleration lane may be
dropped if the opposing traffic is predicted to be below 100 DHV..."
Given this criteria, the westbound left -turn at the full movement access on the north side is not
required and could be waived.
The highest number of right -turns at the full movement access on the north side is projected
to be seven vph during the morning peak. Referring to Section 3.13 of the Colorado State High-
way Access Code, which discusses criteria for frontage roads, Item 4b states the following:
A right turn lane with storage length plus taper length is required for any access with a
projected peak -hour right ingress turning volume greater than 50 vph
Under this criteria, there is no need for a right -turn deceleration lane at the full access on the
north side of the school property.
The highest number of right -turns leaving the Exit Only access on the north side of the school
property is 105 vph during the morning peak. Item 4c of section 3.13 of the Colorado State
Highway Access Code states the following:
A right -turn acceleration lane with taper is required for any access with a projected peak -
hour right- turning volume greater than 50 vph when the posted speed on the highway
is greater than 40 mph and the highway has only one lane for through traffic in the
direction of the right turn.
However, Section 3.5(5) states that
"The auxiliary lanes required in the category design standards may be waived when the
20 yearpredicted roadway volumes conflicting with the turning vehicle are below the
following minimum volume thresholds...." "...The right -turn acceleration lane may be
dropped if the adjacent traveled lane is predicted to be below 120 DHV... "
Since the adjacent travel lane will be below 120 vph during both peak periods, no acceleration
lane is required.
CDOT issued an access permit in December, 2001 for the new access to the Foothills Academy
parking lot along the I -70 Frontage Road. The permit allowed for 65 vehicles per hour. The
MPCS expansion will increase this to 132 vehicles per hour. Section 2.6(3) of the Colorado State
Highway Access Code allows minor modifications of an access as long as it "does not increase
the proposed vehicle volume to the site by 20 percent or more*. In this case, a 20 percent increase
would be 78 vehicles, so the MPCS expansion may need to apply for a new access permit from
CDOT.
Although Miller Street is a City street, this report uses the Colorado State Highway Access Code
to make recommendations for the need for any possible auxiliary lanes at its intersection with
the Enter Only access on the east side of the school property. Miller Street is assumed to be
classified as NR -C -- Non -Rural Arterial. Items 4a and 4b of Section 3.12 (which discusses the
Ms. Donna Newberg -Long Page 6 July 26, 2012
MPCS - 2012 Update
NR -C category) of the Colorado State Highway Access Code are identical to Items 4a and 4b
(both quoted above) of Section 3.13. The southbound right -turns and northbound left -turns at
the entrance that intersects with Miller Street on the east side of the school have a high peak -
hour volume of 50 and 20, respectively. Given these criteria, Miller Street does not require any
auxiliary lanes at its intersection with the Entrance Only access on the east side of the school.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based upon the foregoing analyses, the following conclusions and recommendations can be
made concerning the traffic impacts of the proposed expansion of the MPCS Wheat Ridge
Campus:
1. The MPCS expansion is proposed to increase enrollment from 275 to 429 students,
with 384 students in Grades K - 8 and 45 students in pre -K.
2. Approximately 202 vehicles will enter and 166 will exit during the morning peak -
hour. During the evening peak period, 117 vehicles will enter and 133 vehicles will
exit during the evening peak -hour.
3. Because of the relatively low existing and future background traffic volumes, there
are no significant existing or anticipated problems with the Level of Service of any of
the intersections. The lowest Level of Service on any of the movements is anticipated
to be LOS "B", considered "very good", with or without the addition of project -
generated traffic during both peak -hours through Year 2032.
4. The existing parking lot /drop -off area on the north side is expected to have little
issues with queuing off -site if the school can maintain a six vehicle per minute service
rate. It is expected to have 17 more vehicles arrive during the afternoon peak 15
minutes than the four vehicles per minute service rate can accommodate. Room for
about 17 queued vehicles should be provided in the north lot.
5. The parking lot on the north side of the play field will be used to accommodate
parking needs for evening events and overflow parking at times when the storage
length is exceeded on the north side lane.
6. The proposed MPCS expansion may require a new access permit to replace the CDOT
access permit issued in December, 2001. It is possible the requirement for a left -turn
lane on the frontage road at the site access can be waived due to relatively low
through traffic volumes.
7. The traffic impacts of proposed MPCS expansion can be accommodated by the
existing roadway system with the recommendations stated herein.

The applicant, Mountain Phoenix Community School (MPCS), is requesting a Special Use Permit to
allow a public charterschool on property zoned A- I and R-2A. Public and private schools are a
special use in both the A- I and R-2A ;-one districts. To legitimize the transfer of operation to the
applicant lessee, a new SUP is required. (Exhibit 1, applicant's request)

a farmhouse and barn, were constructed before 1920, These structures were converted to a school in
1987 when Foothills Academy opened, Two additional structures were constructed in 1993 and 2005.

permit was replaced with the special use permit. Because the 2001 CUP does not run with the land,
MPCS will need an SUP to operate a school on the property,
III. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant, Mountain Phoenix Community School (MPCS), is proposing a pre-Kindergarten
through 8th grade public charter school for die Jefferson County School District. Projected enrollment
for the 2011-2012 school year is 250 students. The projected number of faculty and staff is 38
individuals, • which 21 would be full-time staff,
MPCS currently has a smaller campus in Coal Creek Canyon, and the Wheat Ridge school is
considered the "town-site" for the two sister schools. Both are operated under the Waldorf model of
education which incorporates arts education and experiential learning. As a Jefferson County public
charter school, the service area for the Wheat Ridge campus would include students from across the
County.

2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of
physical or operational characteristics.
The request will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood. The existing property
is attractive and properly maintained and it is expected that with the change in user, this will
continue.
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing
zoning for the property.
There was a Conditional Use Permit for a private school approved for the property in 2001
pursuant to Case No. CUP-0 1 -0 1. One of the conditions of approval was that the number of
students on the camps be limited to 250. Since this number is not increasing there should be
minimal adverse impacts. The use of the property as a private school is logical and
appropriate given the physical improvements on the property.
4. The special use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe
parking, loading, service of internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether
on or off the site.

Specific Site Location: 4725 Miller Street
Existing Zoning: Agricultural -One (A-1) and Residential-Two A (R-2A)
Existing Comp. Plan: Public Asset surrounded by Neighborhood
The subject parcel is an L-shaped comer lot with access to Miller Street and 1-70 Service Road South.
The site is currently the campus of Mountain Phoenix Community School (MPCS), a public charter
school authorized by the Jefferson County Board of Education. The school charter was recently
renewed for a period of five years.
The campus at Miller Street consists of 4.23 acres and includes five structures of varying ages. Three
of the structures, including a farmhouse and barn, were constructed before 1920. These structures
were converted to a school in 1987 when Foothills Academy opened. Two additional structures were
constructed in 1993 and 2005. Total building coverage on the site is currently at 12.8%.
The classroom trailers will be constructed on a pier foundation and a platform deck will be constructed
around the buildings to unify thern and provide access. Each classroom will have a front and rear
entrance providing access to a central courtyard and to the pick-up/drop-off lanes on the frontage road.
The applicant has expressed a need to increase student enrollment in order to remain financially
viable. In addition, the Coal Creek Canyon campus will be closing and the Wheat Ridge campus will
absorb those students.
The temporary buildings will allow the applicant to quickly accommodate the new students for the
next several years. The applicant is also exploring bond financing options that will enable the future
construction of permanent structures. The applicant currently has a long- term lease with an option to
purchase the property at any time within the next 30 years.
Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
No, a neighborhood meeting will not be required.
Planning comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
In this case, the site plan review will entail a minimal submittal including only a site plan and traffic
report. No landscape, strectscape, or photometric plans will be requested, nor will any architectural
elevations or land survey be required.
Teniporar Buildings
'Y
The zoning code does not permit temporary buildings to exist for a period of longer than one year.
Because of the status of a public charter school, restriction of the zoning code does not apply, and the
temporary buildings will be permitted.
I
Process
This request will require only site plan review which is an administrative process used to review site
development tbr permitted uses. The first step began with the pre-application meeting on May 10.
The next step in the process is to submit an application. Upon submittal of a complete site plan
application, the submitted documents will be reviewed by the case manager. The staff planner will
send the application on referral, but in this case the referral will include a reduced distribution, going
only to the fire district and Wheat Ridge Public Works Department. This referral period is typically
15 days long and allows time for agencies to comment on the application.
After all comments have been received, the case manager will forward those to the applicant.
Modifications to the application may be requested as a result of these comments. Once all comments
have been addressed, the case manager will refer the Site Plan application to the Community
Development Director for final approval. A copy of the approved Site Plan will be kept on file at the
Community Development Departrnent.
Approval of the site application does not mean that a building pen has been issued. Once site plan
approval is attained, the applicant may submit a building permit application with the Building Division
for the foundation of the temporary buildings. All other building permits will be issued through the
state.

Re: Notice of Proposed Charter School Improvements---- 4725 Miller Street, Wheat Ridge, Colorado (the
"Miller Street Property")
Dear Mr. Johnstone and Bucknam:
The undersigned Carleen T. Clark represents Mountain Phoenix Community School ("MPCS*'), a
public charter school chartered through Jefferson County School District R- I . This letter is being sent at the
request, and on behalf of, MPCS. MPCS is a K-8tb g gade charter school that currently operates a successful
Waldorf inspired charter school program in Wheat Ridge, Colorado (more info at www.mountainplioenix.or).
MPCS located its campus at the Miller Street Property last fall, and worked with the City at that time.
Pursuant to C.R.S. § 22-32-124 (1.5)(a), MPCS hereby formally submits its site plan for the Miller
Street Property showing the planned expansion with temporary buildings on this site for your review.
Respectfully, we believe the current SUP limiting the number of students on this site is inapplicable under the
school location statute referenced above, and we would be happy to discuss this further.
Please forward any comments or questions to the undersigned,
cc: Ms. Donna Newberg-Long
We are pleased to share updated information regarding Mountain Phoenix Community School ("MPC
— a Jeffco Public K-8 Charter School uniquely developed with a Waldorf-inspired, standards-bas
his
curriculum. T nd last school year without benefit of any start-up funding support, MPCS extended
Charter to its 2 site into Wheat Ridge. There was need for extensive renovations in Wheat Ridge.
•
Mountain Phoenix's accomplishments are the "talk • the town" at recent Colorado League of
Charter Schools' annual convention which took place at Inverness Hotel complex March 2012.
3. Fund Rai§ing
Donations and fund raising events thus far this year tally $140,000. It's hoped next year MPCS
can take pressure off extensive fund raising and donations that occurred in this year's "start-up"
in terms of faculty and support staff recruitment, building upgrades, renovations, painting,
insulation, walls, etc.
JeffCo School District has several "approved" temporary buildings available for MPCS — Tim
Reed, JeffCo's Director Capital Programs Facility Planning. This effort is being investigated. A
Task Force comprised of volunteer-pa rent engineers, architects and contractors — both general
and subcontractor tradesmen. Moving and relocation is the expense — estimated at $150,000
for the 4 units by JeffCo facilities director. Each is 1,000sf — classroom-sized for 26-27 students.
As such, student enrollment numbers are subject to availability of space as per JeffCo School
District (State) guidelines and not necessarily occupancy/traffic limits recommended by Wheat
Ridge, although it's expected MPCS will be approximately at these requirements. We fully
intend to remain "good neighbors" with Wheat Ridge — share with them all that we are doing in
terms of utility hook-ups, storm drainage, parking, weed control, etc.
9. Any 2ther itgrns that you think Wheat Ridge PlannLers shoUld be awarg,2f, conEgrned Ab_out
MPCS is developing a final budget for the addition of the four (4) modular buildings as well as
the 'interim site development' — concept site plan/design — to accommodate these temporary
classrooms on campus this summer. This will enable MPCS to expand numbers of needed
enrollment to achieve the 'critical mass' necessary to bring about next year's budget reality.
As well, in order for MPCS to be considered for a Charter School Bond to purchase the School
Property as well as consider building a permanent building, it must show a financially viable
track record, which for all intents and purposes must demonstrate an enrollment of 375-400,
All repairs and maintenance that take place are done so with pro-active communication and
nf vtjfjr:aJI!ia_tD__rJk_k_#_z, A
order to remain in compliance under JeffCo insurance coverages. Likewise, it is fully intended to
keep the City of Wheat Ridge, through its Planning & Zoning municipal staff, apprised of
Mountain Phoenix campus improvements.
As was true with permits needed for last year's campus improvements, MPCS will follow the
permitting process overseen by the Colorado Division of Safety & Fire with coordination, as well,
through the Arvada Fire District,
