Quality) March 1983 the Town granted a preliminary approval of a 46 lot residential subdivision Said subdivision ldquoMadison Additionrdquo plat identified the Moonrise Meadow parcel (Tract 1) as a ldquoPUD Tractrdquo with a development density of 225 dwelling units The plan before the Council (Moonrise Meadows PUD) proposes 180 dwelling units 45 fewer units or a 20 voluntary density reduction Not even in the ldquo2017 West Yellowstone Growth Policy Updaterdquo is there discussion of reducing density In fact the ldquoPolicyrdquo encourages more housing not less Secondly this letter is intended to provide a comprehensive and complete response to your request for additional information The responses are provided in the exact order as they were listed in your April 1 2019 letter I believe you will find herein and in the attached Exhibits substantial additional information that responds to the outstanding issues and provides ample evidence and facts to support project findings leading to Council approval of the project LANDSCAPING ndash Town Code Section 1734060(I) Per your letter the Council identified two issues related to the project landscape plan
Issue 1 Response Although the plan shows open space easements separating the proposed condominium R-4 Moonrise Meadows development from adjacent R-1 R-2 and R-3 there is concern that a significant vegetation reduction in these areas may be necessary for future snow storage and storm water retention
Finding of Fact 1
To address this issue the proposed plat map has been amended aggregation Lots 1 amp 2 and relocation of Retention Pond 2 (See Exhibit B Attached ldquoAmended Plat of Lot 1 and 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition dated 4-23-19 This minor plan change will preserve the existing tree areas separating the Moonrise Meadows condominium project from the existing surrounding single family residential development The Retention Pond 2 relocation is in close proximity to the existing storm water collection system and in a landscape area where tree cover is less dense Relocation of the Retention Pond 2 adds a water feature in the planned 100 ft buffer initially propose limits the tree removal to a known area and will provide screening of views of the proposed buildings in to the site and mitigate potential significant noise impacts Issue 2 Response The proposed project provides significant buffers fact is the nearest single family residence would be 100 feet away from the nearest new building which is apparently an acceptable distance established in other areas in the Town A complete landscape plan specifying the preservation of native trees density and plant types of landscaping fencing private landscape furniture and other buffering along the eastern and southern property boundaries is provided herewith (See Exhibit B1 Attached Moonrise Meadow Landscape Plan prepared by Big Country Landscapes Inc dated 4-30-2019) The new landscape plan specifically calls out in ldquoTree Notesrdquo the compliance with Wildland and Urban Interface building code standards and efforts to preserve as many of the existing trees as is possible

outside of the construction limits INGRESSEGRESS ndash ldquoA minimum of two accesses are required for emergency servicerdquo Chapter 5 of the 2017 Growth Policy focuses on the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) issues related to fire hazard severity The ldquoPolicyrdquo acknowledges the potential fire danger within the Town where residential development is surrounded by dense lodge pole pine and landscape vegetation with little or no defensible space throughout the neighborhoods Goal 14 and the associated objectives in the ldquoPolicyrdquo provide the primary steps the Town intends to take to address the fire hazard issues related to the WUI areas including adoption of guidelines and regulations for fire protection and defensible space One can only speculate because said guidelines and regulations have not yet been developed or implemented that the Town intends to require a minimum of two accesses for fire and emergency service access for future residential developments However without the specific guidelines and regulations in place requiring a second ingressegress the Townrsquos review of the project impacts must simply focus on applicable current promulgated subdivision statues rules and regulations The Moonrise Meadows application includes a fire hazard analysis prepared by Coffman Engineers The analysis considers currently promulgated and applicable guidelines codes and regulations that apply to the development including ldquofire department accessrdquo During the public review the Town Planning Advisory Board members public and the Council expressed that only having one access to the subdivision is a safety concern Based on the stated public and Council concern and without any specific regulation requiring a second access in the Town code the applicant proposed two new options for access Option 1 includes two accesses one aligned with Grayling Avenue and one aligned with Cascade Avenue Both roads would be 28 feet wide one ndashway streets with two lanes This option allows two way vehicle circulation in case of an emergency vehicles in the subdivision can exist on one two lane 28 foot wide road and fire service vehicles can enter on another two lane 28 foot wide and separated roadway Regarding Planning Advisory Board Condition of Approval 10 as I understand the administrative record the PAB was aware as the Council should be that the WYSR standards adopted in 1982 do not explicitly require more than one access Fire Code Section D106 1 allows for exceptions to having two separate and approved fire apparatus access roads when all buildings including non-residential occupancies are equipped throughout with approved automatic sprinkler systems The proposed 180 unit project includes sprinklers in all buildings Additionally the project sponsor has chosen to implement key mitigation measures by design to address fire safety issues The plan includes fire resistant exterior building construction landscape improvements to provide a minimum of 30 foot defensible space around buildings fire fighting water supply (hydrants with water flow) rendering the fire hazard severity on the low end of the spectrum as defined by the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code Secondly there are no new specific ingressegress standards requiring a minimum of two accesses in the Town code Accordingly the project plan addresses the public and decision makers concerns for a second access in good faith and has provided Option 1 roadway configuration Not only is the project plan consistent with all of the policies contained in the Towns 2017 Growth Policy Plan and the Zoning and Subdivision regulations the Council must find based on evidence in the record

approval of the plan because the project will not have any significant adverse fire safety impacts on public health and safety that would result from the project build-out Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo
Access Recommendations and Conclusions- Morrison Maierle
The project sponsor agrees to construct the recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development - Option 1 - with modifications as noted on page 7 and 8 of the Exhibit C report Finding of Fact 1 The study of the ingressegress analysis prepared by MM concludes that Option 1 does in fact provide a minimum of two access points Source Exhibit C Page 8 ldquoWith the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other eventrdquo Finding of Fact 2 The Madison Addition record is replete with evidence to show that back in 1982 the developer and the Town entered in to a Development Agreement (DA) that agreement created some very site specific standards for roads in the subdivision which were built out and currently exist Page 2 of that DA 3 makes it clear that all streets shall be constructed and installed in accordance with any applicable subdivision statutes rules andor regulations Source (Development Agreement - made 9th day of December 1982 - recorded- Film 73 page1337) The Council noted in their discussion that the proposed Option 1 would require use of property outside the boundary of Tract 1 and shown on the preliminary plat ie Lots 1 and 2 of the Madison Addition The Council raised concerns about the proposed use of the lots as potentially restricted under the governing covenants The situation is not directly addressed within the verbiage of the CCampRrsquoS This document is comprehensive in its intent and scope with many places to address this issue if the need was felt to do so If it was a concern a reasonable person could conclude that it would have been included in this document The definition of a PUD is contained in Section 137 and Section 17 Planned Unit Development 171 spells out the Intent- ldquoto encourage better land userdquo by ldquorelaxing the strict mechanical regulations of these covenantsrdquo all to accommodate preferred unit development In fact it goes so far as to allow for increase in density where land area is used for things like swimming pools Exceptions made to Section 1 Definitions are spelt out in
5
172 including ldquodevelopment and location of streets and utilitiesrdquo and Item 2 specifically allows for Common Open Space to ldquocontain complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate for the benefit and enjoyment of occupants of the developmentrdquo Finding of Fact 3 The use of Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements reduces single family residential density by two dwellings adds Open Space reduces overall traffic in the subdivision and avoids development of two new driveway cuts at a roadway intersection Grayling Ave CCampRrsquoS throughout address health and safety issues including parking congestion hazardous driving conditions adequate access for firefighting including the layout and number of fire hydrants and fire walkways This document requires infrastructure to be built to standards required by the Town of West Yellowstone It is reasonable and certainly in the interest of the public health and safety to conclude that in a situation where the Town is requiring a second emergency access for health and safety in and out of the development the Moonrise Meadows PUD development Option 1 road access using Lots 1 and 2 is specifically preferred by the CCampRrsquos The Option 1 road meets the promulgated fire code requirements of the Town and satisfies the desire of public and the Town Council for two roadway access points Dedicating Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements and open space reduces density that the CCampRrsquoS would in fact encourage rather than prohibit Finally use of Lots 1 and 2 improves health and safety for the benefit and enjoyment of all occupants of the subdivision Finding of Fact 4 The aggregation of Lots 1 amp 2 into Tract 1 is allowed without governing approval under the adopted Subdivision Regulations In Section II Procedures item 19 Correcting or Amending Filed Final Plats (b) states (The relocation of common boundaries and the aggregation of lots within platted subdivisions where five or fewer of the original lots are affected within a platted subdivision filed with the county clerk and recorder are exempt from approval as subdivision An Amended Plat must be prepared following the requirements of the Montana Uniform Standards for Final Subdivision Plats (ARM 22-24b (30) S4100 except that in place of the governing bodyrsquos approval the landowner certifies that the approval of the governing body is not required pursuant to 76-3-207 (1) Finding of Fact 5 Section III Design and Improvement Standards of the Subdivision Regulations 7 Streets and Roads have been met by the project road design planned in Option 1 7 Streets and Roads (c1a) Streets shall intersect at right angles except when topography precludes and in no case shall the intersection be less than sixty (60) degrees (c 1b) two streets meeting a third street from opposite sides shall meet at the same point or their centerlines shall be offset at least one hundred twenty-five (125) feet (c1b) Intersection design shall provide acceptable visibility for traffic safety as dictated by the designed operating speeds on the individual roadways Note The existing roads in the Madison Addition have an operating design speed of 20 miles per hour per Table II of the Design Standards Additionally the Option 1 plan provides roadway meeting point standards in c1b and provides 2 stop signs for vehicles exiting the
6
subdivision making a 4 way stop with existing stop signs at Cascade and Grayling Avenue offsetting the 125 ft sight line standard thereby alleviating potential visibility impacts TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY ndash ldquosummary document showing levels of servicerdquo As noted above Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo Using inappropriate ITE Standards Land Use Code 210 Single Family Detached Housing ATS over estimated trip generation rates In summary the peer review study prepared by MM found that the ATS analysis used a trip generation (ITE) standard ldquoLand Use Code 210 ndash Single Family Detached Housing that may not have been appropriate In fact the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing standard is more reflective and more in-line with the land use description provided When applying the appropriate ITE standards the study shows (See Table 1 in Exhibit C) a twenty four (24) percent reduction in average daily vehicle trips a thirty four (34) percent reduction in estimated AM peak trips and a thirty six percent (36) reduction in estimated PM peak hour vehicle trips Additionally the trip generation estimates in the ATS and the MM reports assumes that all units will be fully occupied one hundred percent (100) at all times a most conservative ldquoworst caserdquo analysis It is projected that fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Moreover the analysis factors in summer traffic impacts with counts that included school traffic but school is not in session during summer peak hour traffic Finally the original Madison Addition development project roadway designs relied on 20 MPH roadway speeds Finding of Fact 1 The entire above factors aside based on the analyses included in Exhibit C both reviewing engineers ATS and MM confirmed that based on facts and evidence presented in their reports that the proposed development is estimated to have a minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle circulation and congestion There are no substandard traffic operations identified The MM report provides detailed Tables and graphic summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations Although each intersection study found the average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for Level C at ldquoworst caserdquo the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue Finding of Fact 2 Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic Based on the operations
7
queue study evidence in the record no additional mitigation is warranted for any of the recommended study area intersections TRAFFIC SAFETY ndash ldquopedestrian and bike safetyrdquo The existing streets pedestrian ways intersections fire turnarounds etc were specified in the Madison Addition plan in 1983 and the environmental assessment (EA) assumed densities for the R-4 site greater than are what is now proposed Moreover the initial EA projected project traffic impacts based on a 20 mph speed limit yet the current posted speed limit is 25 mph The (EA) assumed that all traffic within the subdivision would be generated back into the Town of West Yellowstone on Electric Street and Hayden Street Furthermore the EA estimated traffic counts of 5000+ at full buildout of the 865 units The subdivision was designed for a full build out of 865 units the project plan alone reduces the total build out to 820 and it was concluded that the proposed streets can provide these capacities with minimal conflict or congestion In addition to studying roadway levels of service and ingress and egress questions the engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) also evaluated vehicle safety pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows project (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo page 10-11 Finding of Fact 1 In summary upon review of reported vehicle crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to the north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue there were a total of four reported accidents during the timeframe January 1 2013 to December 31 2017 Based on the data contained in the report there is not a significant number of vehicle accidents identified that would warrant additional analysis andor mitigation Finding of Fact 2 It should be noted again that Town officials public and Council expressed concern regarding visibility and sight distance to the north and south at the project entry due to curves in Hayden Street and in winter during snow removal season The project proposal for a 4 way stops at the intersection at Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue was found to alleviate these concerns at the March 5 2019 Council hearing (Source Page 12 February 19 2019 ldquoStaff Report Moonrise Meadows Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Applicationrdquo) Finding of Fact 3 Mr Sabolsky in your letter to me dated April 22 2019 you noted on page 2 that indeed a trail extending from North Electric to the school property in fact exists This pedestrian and bike access is separated from the subdivision streets It is not clear how much the existing pathway is used by current residents in the subdivision at this time However it is noted in your letter that the existing separated pathway ldquois unlikely to actually serve the future subdivision residents It is not clear why the residents of the new development canrsquot simply walk across Hayden Street down Grayling Ave and access the pedestrian walkway at the end of the street If the streets are indeed unsafe for pedestrians as some members of the public have claimed in the record why would the Town as you

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not
10
included in the general water demand as they occur rarely during emergency situations Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water connections granted by the Town
STORM WATER ndash ldquoprovide an analysis for the 10-year and 100 year storm eventrdquo
Finding 1
The stormwater report has been updated to evaluate the 10-year and 100-year storm events The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit E ldquoDesign Report Stormwater Management Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated August 2018 - updated April 2019
The report includes an explanation of the surrounding off-site flow conditions Please see the enclosed updated stormwater design report
SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal

As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Quality) March 1983 the Town granted a preliminary approval of a 46 lot residential subdivision Said subdivision ldquoMadison Additionrdquo plat identified the Moonrise Meadow parcel (Tract 1) as a ldquoPUD Tractrdquo with a development density of 225 dwelling units The plan before the Council (Moonrise Meadows PUD) proposes 180 dwelling units 45 fewer units or a 20 voluntary density reduction Not even in the ldquo2017 West Yellowstone Growth Policy Updaterdquo is there discussion of reducing density In fact the ldquoPolicyrdquo encourages more housing not less Secondly this letter is intended to provide a comprehensive and complete response to your request for additional information The responses are provided in the exact order as they were listed in your April 1 2019 letter I believe you will find herein and in the attached Exhibits substantial additional information that responds to the outstanding issues and provides ample evidence and facts to support project findings leading to Council approval of the project LANDSCAPING ndash Town Code Section 1734060(I) Per your letter the Council identified two issues related to the project landscape plan
Issue 1 Response Although the plan shows open space easements separating the proposed condominium R-4 Moonrise Meadows development from adjacent R-1 R-2 and R-3 there is concern that a significant vegetation reduction in these areas may be necessary for future snow storage and storm water retention
Finding of Fact 1
To address this issue the proposed plat map has been amended aggregation Lots 1 amp 2 and relocation of Retention Pond 2 (See Exhibit B Attached ldquoAmended Plat of Lot 1 and 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition dated 4-23-19 This minor plan change will preserve the existing tree areas separating the Moonrise Meadows condominium project from the existing surrounding single family residential development The Retention Pond 2 relocation is in close proximity to the existing storm water collection system and in a landscape area where tree cover is less dense Relocation of the Retention Pond 2 adds a water feature in the planned 100 ft buffer initially propose limits the tree removal to a known area and will provide screening of views of the proposed buildings in to the site and mitigate potential significant noise impacts Issue 2 Response The proposed project provides significant buffers fact is the nearest single family residence would be 100 feet away from the nearest new building which is apparently an acceptable distance established in other areas in the Town A complete landscape plan specifying the preservation of native trees density and plant types of landscaping fencing private landscape furniture and other buffering along the eastern and southern property boundaries is provided herewith (See Exhibit B1 Attached Moonrise Meadow Landscape Plan prepared by Big Country Landscapes Inc dated 4-30-2019) The new landscape plan specifically calls out in ldquoTree Notesrdquo the compliance with Wildland and Urban Interface building code standards and efforts to preserve as many of the existing trees as is possible

outside of the construction limits INGRESSEGRESS ndash ldquoA minimum of two accesses are required for emergency servicerdquo Chapter 5 of the 2017 Growth Policy focuses on the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) issues related to fire hazard severity The ldquoPolicyrdquo acknowledges the potential fire danger within the Town where residential development is surrounded by dense lodge pole pine and landscape vegetation with little or no defensible space throughout the neighborhoods Goal 14 and the associated objectives in the ldquoPolicyrdquo provide the primary steps the Town intends to take to address the fire hazard issues related to the WUI areas including adoption of guidelines and regulations for fire protection and defensible space One can only speculate because said guidelines and regulations have not yet been developed or implemented that the Town intends to require a minimum of two accesses for fire and emergency service access for future residential developments However without the specific guidelines and regulations in place requiring a second ingressegress the Townrsquos review of the project impacts must simply focus on applicable current promulgated subdivision statues rules and regulations The Moonrise Meadows application includes a fire hazard analysis prepared by Coffman Engineers The analysis considers currently promulgated and applicable guidelines codes and regulations that apply to the development including ldquofire department accessrdquo During the public review the Town Planning Advisory Board members public and the Council expressed that only having one access to the subdivision is a safety concern Based on the stated public and Council concern and without any specific regulation requiring a second access in the Town code the applicant proposed two new options for access Option 1 includes two accesses one aligned with Grayling Avenue and one aligned with Cascade Avenue Both roads would be 28 feet wide one ndashway streets with two lanes This option allows two way vehicle circulation in case of an emergency vehicles in the subdivision can exist on one two lane 28 foot wide road and fire service vehicles can enter on another two lane 28 foot wide and separated roadway Regarding Planning Advisory Board Condition of Approval 10 as I understand the administrative record the PAB was aware as the Council should be that the WYSR standards adopted in 1982 do not explicitly require more than one access Fire Code Section D106 1 allows for exceptions to having two separate and approved fire apparatus access roads when all buildings including non-residential occupancies are equipped throughout with approved automatic sprinkler systems The proposed 180 unit project includes sprinklers in all buildings Additionally the project sponsor has chosen to implement key mitigation measures by design to address fire safety issues The plan includes fire resistant exterior building construction landscape improvements to provide a minimum of 30 foot defensible space around buildings fire fighting water supply (hydrants with water flow) rendering the fire hazard severity on the low end of the spectrum as defined by the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code Secondly there are no new specific ingressegress standards requiring a minimum of two accesses in the Town code Accordingly the project plan addresses the public and decision makers concerns for a second access in good faith and has provided Option 1 roadway configuration Not only is the project plan consistent with all of the policies contained in the Towns 2017 Growth Policy Plan and the Zoning and Subdivision regulations the Council must find based on evidence in the record

approval of the plan because the project will not have any significant adverse fire safety impacts on public health and safety that would result from the project build-out Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo
Access Recommendations and Conclusions- Morrison Maierle
The project sponsor agrees to construct the recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development - Option 1 - with modifications as noted on page 7 and 8 of the Exhibit C report Finding of Fact 1 The study of the ingressegress analysis prepared by MM concludes that Option 1 does in fact provide a minimum of two access points Source Exhibit C Page 8 ldquoWith the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other eventrdquo Finding of Fact 2 The Madison Addition record is replete with evidence to show that back in 1982 the developer and the Town entered in to a Development Agreement (DA) that agreement created some very site specific standards for roads in the subdivision which were built out and currently exist Page 2 of that DA 3 makes it clear that all streets shall be constructed and installed in accordance with any applicable subdivision statutes rules andor regulations Source (Development Agreement - made 9th day of December 1982 - recorded- Film 73 page1337) The Council noted in their discussion that the proposed Option 1 would require use of property outside the boundary of Tract 1 and shown on the preliminary plat ie Lots 1 and 2 of the Madison Addition The Council raised concerns about the proposed use of the lots as potentially restricted under the governing covenants The situation is not directly addressed within the verbiage of the CCampRrsquoS This document is comprehensive in its intent and scope with many places to address this issue if the need was felt to do so If it was a concern a reasonable person could conclude that it would have been included in this document The definition of a PUD is contained in Section 137 and Section 17 Planned Unit Development 171 spells out the Intent- ldquoto encourage better land userdquo by ldquorelaxing the strict mechanical regulations of these covenantsrdquo all to accommodate preferred unit development In fact it goes so far as to allow for increase in density where land area is used for things like swimming pools Exceptions made to Section 1 Definitions are spelt out in
5
172 including ldquodevelopment and location of streets and utilitiesrdquo and Item 2 specifically allows for Common Open Space to ldquocontain complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate for the benefit and enjoyment of occupants of the developmentrdquo Finding of Fact 3 The use of Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements reduces single family residential density by two dwellings adds Open Space reduces overall traffic in the subdivision and avoids development of two new driveway cuts at a roadway intersection Grayling Ave CCampRrsquoS throughout address health and safety issues including parking congestion hazardous driving conditions adequate access for firefighting including the layout and number of fire hydrants and fire walkways This document requires infrastructure to be built to standards required by the Town of West Yellowstone It is reasonable and certainly in the interest of the public health and safety to conclude that in a situation where the Town is requiring a second emergency access for health and safety in and out of the development the Moonrise Meadows PUD development Option 1 road access using Lots 1 and 2 is specifically preferred by the CCampRrsquos The Option 1 road meets the promulgated fire code requirements of the Town and satisfies the desire of public and the Town Council for two roadway access points Dedicating Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements and open space reduces density that the CCampRrsquoS would in fact encourage rather than prohibit Finally use of Lots 1 and 2 improves health and safety for the benefit and enjoyment of all occupants of the subdivision Finding of Fact 4 The aggregation of Lots 1 amp 2 into Tract 1 is allowed without governing approval under the adopted Subdivision Regulations In Section II Procedures item 19 Correcting or Amending Filed Final Plats (b) states (The relocation of common boundaries and the aggregation of lots within platted subdivisions where five or fewer of the original lots are affected within a platted subdivision filed with the county clerk and recorder are exempt from approval as subdivision An Amended Plat must be prepared following the requirements of the Montana Uniform Standards for Final Subdivision Plats (ARM 22-24b (30) S4100 except that in place of the governing bodyrsquos approval the landowner certifies that the approval of the governing body is not required pursuant to 76-3-207 (1) Finding of Fact 5 Section III Design and Improvement Standards of the Subdivision Regulations 7 Streets and Roads have been met by the project road design planned in Option 1 7 Streets and Roads (c1a) Streets shall intersect at right angles except when topography precludes and in no case shall the intersection be less than sixty (60) degrees (c 1b) two streets meeting a third street from opposite sides shall meet at the same point or their centerlines shall be offset at least one hundred twenty-five (125) feet (c1b) Intersection design shall provide acceptable visibility for traffic safety as dictated by the designed operating speeds on the individual roadways Note The existing roads in the Madison Addition have an operating design speed of 20 miles per hour per Table II of the Design Standards Additionally the Option 1 plan provides roadway meeting point standards in c1b and provides 2 stop signs for vehicles exiting the
6
subdivision making a 4 way stop with existing stop signs at Cascade and Grayling Avenue offsetting the 125 ft sight line standard thereby alleviating potential visibility impacts TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY ndash ldquosummary document showing levels of servicerdquo As noted above Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo Using inappropriate ITE Standards Land Use Code 210 Single Family Detached Housing ATS over estimated trip generation rates In summary the peer review study prepared by MM found that the ATS analysis used a trip generation (ITE) standard ldquoLand Use Code 210 ndash Single Family Detached Housing that may not have been appropriate In fact the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing standard is more reflective and more in-line with the land use description provided When applying the appropriate ITE standards the study shows (See Table 1 in Exhibit C) a twenty four (24) percent reduction in average daily vehicle trips a thirty four (34) percent reduction in estimated AM peak trips and a thirty six percent (36) reduction in estimated PM peak hour vehicle trips Additionally the trip generation estimates in the ATS and the MM reports assumes that all units will be fully occupied one hundred percent (100) at all times a most conservative ldquoworst caserdquo analysis It is projected that fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Moreover the analysis factors in summer traffic impacts with counts that included school traffic but school is not in session during summer peak hour traffic Finally the original Madison Addition development project roadway designs relied on 20 MPH roadway speeds Finding of Fact 1 The entire above factors aside based on the analyses included in Exhibit C both reviewing engineers ATS and MM confirmed that based on facts and evidence presented in their reports that the proposed development is estimated to have a minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle circulation and congestion There are no substandard traffic operations identified The MM report provides detailed Tables and graphic summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations Although each intersection study found the average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for Level C at ldquoworst caserdquo the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue Finding of Fact 2 Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic Based on the operations
7
queue study evidence in the record no additional mitigation is warranted for any of the recommended study area intersections TRAFFIC SAFETY ndash ldquopedestrian and bike safetyrdquo The existing streets pedestrian ways intersections fire turnarounds etc were specified in the Madison Addition plan in 1983 and the environmental assessment (EA) assumed densities for the R-4 site greater than are what is now proposed Moreover the initial EA projected project traffic impacts based on a 20 mph speed limit yet the current posted speed limit is 25 mph The (EA) assumed that all traffic within the subdivision would be generated back into the Town of West Yellowstone on Electric Street and Hayden Street Furthermore the EA estimated traffic counts of 5000+ at full buildout of the 865 units The subdivision was designed for a full build out of 865 units the project plan alone reduces the total build out to 820 and it was concluded that the proposed streets can provide these capacities with minimal conflict or congestion In addition to studying roadway levels of service and ingress and egress questions the engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) also evaluated vehicle safety pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows project (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo page 10-11 Finding of Fact 1 In summary upon review of reported vehicle crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to the north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue there were a total of four reported accidents during the timeframe January 1 2013 to December 31 2017 Based on the data contained in the report there is not a significant number of vehicle accidents identified that would warrant additional analysis andor mitigation Finding of Fact 2 It should be noted again that Town officials public and Council expressed concern regarding visibility and sight distance to the north and south at the project entry due to curves in Hayden Street and in winter during snow removal season The project proposal for a 4 way stops at the intersection at Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue was found to alleviate these concerns at the March 5 2019 Council hearing (Source Page 12 February 19 2019 ldquoStaff Report Moonrise Meadows Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Applicationrdquo) Finding of Fact 3 Mr Sabolsky in your letter to me dated April 22 2019 you noted on page 2 that indeed a trail extending from North Electric to the school property in fact exists This pedestrian and bike access is separated from the subdivision streets It is not clear how much the existing pathway is used by current residents in the subdivision at this time However it is noted in your letter that the existing separated pathway ldquois unlikely to actually serve the future subdivision residents It is not clear why the residents of the new development canrsquot simply walk across Hayden Street down Grayling Ave and access the pedestrian walkway at the end of the street If the streets are indeed unsafe for pedestrians as some members of the public have claimed in the record why would the Town as you
8
noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town

The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not
10
included in the general water demand as they occur rarely during emergency situations Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water connections granted by the Town

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

The traffic operations analyses included in the TIS are based on the original trip generation estimates that are greater than those shown in Table 1 above Therefore the analyses provide a more conservative estimate of traffic operations and were not revised as a part of this review The Town of West Yellowstone specifically requested summaries of intersection traffic operations (levels of service) for each lane group at the intersections evaluated as a part of the TIS Levels of service and average vehicle delays were included in the analyses provided in Appendix C ndash LOS Calculations of the TIS In order to satisfy the Town of West Yellowstonersquos request graphical summaries of existing and projected traffic volumes and operations are provided in the following figures that are attached to this review summary

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

outside of the construction limits INGRESSEGRESS ndash ldquoA minimum of two accesses are required for emergency servicerdquo Chapter 5 of the 2017 Growth Policy focuses on the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) issues related to fire hazard severity The ldquoPolicyrdquo acknowledges the potential fire danger within the Town where residential development is surrounded by dense lodge pole pine and landscape vegetation with little or no defensible space throughout the neighborhoods Goal 14 and the associated objectives in the ldquoPolicyrdquo provide the primary steps the Town intends to take to address the fire hazard issues related to the WUI areas including adoption of guidelines and regulations for fire protection and defensible space One can only speculate because said guidelines and regulations have not yet been developed or implemented that the Town intends to require a minimum of two accesses for fire and emergency service access for future residential developments However without the specific guidelines and regulations in place requiring a second ingressegress the Townrsquos review of the project impacts must simply focus on applicable current promulgated subdivision statues rules and regulations The Moonrise Meadows application includes a fire hazard analysis prepared by Coffman Engineers The analysis considers currently promulgated and applicable guidelines codes and regulations that apply to the development including ldquofire department accessrdquo During the public review the Town Planning Advisory Board members public and the Council expressed that only having one access to the subdivision is a safety concern Based on the stated public and Council concern and without any specific regulation requiring a second access in the Town code the applicant proposed two new options for access Option 1 includes two accesses one aligned with Grayling Avenue and one aligned with Cascade Avenue Both roads would be 28 feet wide one ndashway streets with two lanes This option allows two way vehicle circulation in case of an emergency vehicles in the subdivision can exist on one two lane 28 foot wide road and fire service vehicles can enter on another two lane 28 foot wide and separated roadway Regarding Planning Advisory Board Condition of Approval 10 as I understand the administrative record the PAB was aware as the Council should be that the WYSR standards adopted in 1982 do not explicitly require more than one access Fire Code Section D106 1 allows for exceptions to having two separate and approved fire apparatus access roads when all buildings including non-residential occupancies are equipped throughout with approved automatic sprinkler systems The proposed 180 unit project includes sprinklers in all buildings Additionally the project sponsor has chosen to implement key mitigation measures by design to address fire safety issues The plan includes fire resistant exterior building construction landscape improvements to provide a minimum of 30 foot defensible space around buildings fire fighting water supply (hydrants with water flow) rendering the fire hazard severity on the low end of the spectrum as defined by the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code Secondly there are no new specific ingressegress standards requiring a minimum of two accesses in the Town code Accordingly the project plan addresses the public and decision makers concerns for a second access in good faith and has provided Option 1 roadway configuration Not only is the project plan consistent with all of the policies contained in the Towns 2017 Growth Policy Plan and the Zoning and Subdivision regulations the Council must find based on evidence in the record

approval of the plan because the project will not have any significant adverse fire safety impacts on public health and safety that would result from the project build-out Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo
Access Recommendations and Conclusions- Morrison Maierle
The project sponsor agrees to construct the recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development - Option 1 - with modifications as noted on page 7 and 8 of the Exhibit C report Finding of Fact 1 The study of the ingressegress analysis prepared by MM concludes that Option 1 does in fact provide a minimum of two access points Source Exhibit C Page 8 ldquoWith the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other eventrdquo Finding of Fact 2 The Madison Addition record is replete with evidence to show that back in 1982 the developer and the Town entered in to a Development Agreement (DA) that agreement created some very site specific standards for roads in the subdivision which were built out and currently exist Page 2 of that DA 3 makes it clear that all streets shall be constructed and installed in accordance with any applicable subdivision statutes rules andor regulations Source (Development Agreement - made 9th day of December 1982 - recorded- Film 73 page1337) The Council noted in their discussion that the proposed Option 1 would require use of property outside the boundary of Tract 1 and shown on the preliminary plat ie Lots 1 and 2 of the Madison Addition The Council raised concerns about the proposed use of the lots as potentially restricted under the governing covenants The situation is not directly addressed within the verbiage of the CCampRrsquoS This document is comprehensive in its intent and scope with many places to address this issue if the need was felt to do so If it was a concern a reasonable person could conclude that it would have been included in this document The definition of a PUD is contained in Section 137 and Section 17 Planned Unit Development 171 spells out the Intent- ldquoto encourage better land userdquo by ldquorelaxing the strict mechanical regulations of these covenantsrdquo all to accommodate preferred unit development In fact it goes so far as to allow for increase in density where land area is used for things like swimming pools Exceptions made to Section 1 Definitions are spelt out in
5

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

approval of the plan because the project will not have any significant adverse fire safety impacts on public health and safety that would result from the project build-out Mr Yeakey in response to the Councils questions has retained a second traffic engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) to do complete a peer review of the initial traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo
Access Recommendations and Conclusions- Morrison Maierle
The project sponsor agrees to construct the recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development - Option 1 - with modifications as noted on page 7 and 8 of the Exhibit C report Finding of Fact 1 The study of the ingressegress analysis prepared by MM concludes that Option 1 does in fact provide a minimum of two access points Source Exhibit C Page 8 ldquoWith the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other eventrdquo Finding of Fact 2 The Madison Addition record is replete with evidence to show that back in 1982 the developer and the Town entered in to a Development Agreement (DA) that agreement created some very site specific standards for roads in the subdivision which were built out and currently exist Page 2 of that DA 3 makes it clear that all streets shall be constructed and installed in accordance with any applicable subdivision statutes rules andor regulations Source (Development Agreement - made 9th day of December 1982 - recorded- Film 73 page1337) The Council noted in their discussion that the proposed Option 1 would require use of property outside the boundary of Tract 1 and shown on the preliminary plat ie Lots 1 and 2 of the Madison Addition The Council raised concerns about the proposed use of the lots as potentially restricted under the governing covenants The situation is not directly addressed within the verbiage of the CCampRrsquoS This document is comprehensive in its intent and scope with many places to address this issue if the need was felt to do so If it was a concern a reasonable person could conclude that it would have been included in this document The definition of a PUD is contained in Section 137 and Section 17 Planned Unit Development 171 spells out the Intent- ldquoto encourage better land userdquo by ldquorelaxing the strict mechanical regulations of these covenantsrdquo all to accommodate preferred unit development In fact it goes so far as to allow for increase in density where land area is used for things like swimming pools Exceptions made to Section 1 Definitions are spelt out in

172 including ldquodevelopment and location of streets and utilitiesrdquo and Item 2 specifically allows for Common Open Space to ldquocontain complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate for the benefit and enjoyment of occupants of the developmentrdquo Finding of Fact 3 The use of Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements reduces single family residential density by two dwellings adds Open Space reduces overall traffic in the subdivision and avoids development of two new driveway cuts at a roadway intersection Grayling Ave CCampRrsquoS throughout address health and safety issues including parking congestion hazardous driving conditions adequate access for firefighting including the layout and number of fire hydrants and fire walkways This document requires infrastructure to be built to standards required by the Town of West Yellowstone It is reasonable and certainly in the interest of the public health and safety to conclude that in a situation where the Town is requiring a second emergency access for health and safety in and out of the development the Moonrise Meadows PUD development Option 1 road access using Lots 1 and 2 is specifically preferred by the CCampRrsquos The Option 1 road meets the promulgated fire code requirements of the Town and satisfies the desire of public and the Town Council for two roadway access points Dedicating Lots 1 and 2 for roadway improvements and open space reduces density that the CCampRrsquoS would in fact encourage rather than prohibit Finally use of Lots 1 and 2 improves health and safety for the benefit and enjoyment of all occupants of the subdivision Finding of Fact 4 The aggregation of Lots 1 amp 2 into Tract 1 is allowed without governing approval under the adopted Subdivision Regulations In Section II Procedures item 19 Correcting or Amending Filed Final Plats (b) states (The relocation of common boundaries and the aggregation of lots within platted subdivisions where five or fewer of the original lots are affected within a platted subdivision filed with the county clerk and recorder are exempt from approval as subdivision An Amended Plat must be prepared following the requirements of the Montana Uniform Standards for Final Subdivision Plats (ARM 22-24b (30) S4100 except that in place of the governing bodyrsquos approval the landowner certifies that the approval of the governing body is not required pursuant to 76-3-207 (1) Finding of Fact 5 Section III Design and Improvement Standards of the Subdivision Regulations 7 Streets and Roads have been met by the project road design planned in Option 1 7 Streets and Roads (c1a) Streets shall intersect at right angles except when topography precludes and in no case shall the intersection be less than sixty (60) degrees (c 1b) two streets meeting a third street from opposite sides shall meet at the same point or their centerlines shall be offset at least one hundred twenty-five (125) feet (c1b) Intersection design shall provide acceptable visibility for traffic safety as dictated by the designed operating speeds on the individual roadways Note The existing roads in the Madison Addition have an operating design speed of 20 miles per hour per Table II of the Design Standards Additionally the Option 1 plan provides roadway meeting point standards in c1b and provides 2 stop signs for vehicles exiting the

queue study evidence in the record no additional mitigation is warranted for any of the recommended study area intersections TRAFFIC SAFETY ndash ldquopedestrian and bike safetyrdquo The existing streets pedestrian ways intersections fire turnarounds etc were specified in the Madison Addition plan in 1983 and the environmental assessment (EA) assumed densities for the R-4 site greater than are what is now proposed Moreover the initial EA projected project traffic impacts based on a 20 mph speed limit yet the current posted speed limit is 25 mph The (EA) assumed that all traffic within the subdivision would be generated back into the Town of West Yellowstone on Electric Street and Hayden Street Furthermore the EA estimated traffic counts of 5000+ at full buildout of the 865 units The subdivision was designed for a full build out of 865 units the project plan alone reduces the total build out to 820 and it was concluded that the proposed streets can provide these capacities with minimal conflict or congestion In addition to studying roadway levels of service and ingress and egress questions the engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) also evaluated vehicle safety pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows project (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo page 10-11 Finding of Fact 1 In summary upon review of reported vehicle crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to the north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue there were a total of four reported accidents during the timeframe January 1 2013 to December 31 2017 Based on the data contained in the report there is not a significant number of vehicle accidents identified that would warrant additional analysis andor mitigation Finding of Fact 2 It should be noted again that Town officials public and Council expressed concern regarding visibility and sight distance to the north and south at the project entry due to curves in Hayden Street and in winter during snow removal season The project proposal for a 4 way stops at the intersection at Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue was found to alleviate these concerns at the March 5 2019 Council hearing (Source Page 12 February 19 2019 ldquoStaff Report Moonrise Meadows Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Applicationrdquo) Finding of Fact 3 Mr Sabolsky in your letter to me dated April 22 2019 you noted on page 2 that indeed a trail extending from North Electric to the school property in fact exists This pedestrian and bike access is separated from the subdivision streets It is not clear how much the existing pathway is used by current residents in the subdivision at this time However it is noted in your letter that the existing separated pathway ldquois unlikely to actually serve the future subdivision residents It is not clear why the residents of the new development canrsquot simply walk across Hayden Street down Grayling Ave and access the pedestrian walkway at the end of the street If the streets are indeed unsafe for pedestrians as some members of the public have claimed in the record why would the Town as you

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not
10
included in the general water demand as they occur rarely during emergency situations Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water connections granted by the Town

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle

Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town

Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

queue study evidence in the record no additional mitigation is warranted for any of the recommended study area intersections TRAFFIC SAFETY ndash ldquopedestrian and bike safetyrdquo The existing streets pedestrian ways intersections fire turnarounds etc were specified in the Madison Addition plan in 1983 and the environmental assessment (EA) assumed densities for the R-4 site greater than are what is now proposed Moreover the initial EA projected project traffic impacts based on a 20 mph speed limit yet the current posted speed limit is 25 mph The (EA) assumed that all traffic within the subdivision would be generated back into the Town of West Yellowstone on Electric Street and Hayden Street Furthermore the EA estimated traffic counts of 5000+ at full buildout of the 865 units The subdivision was designed for a full build out of 865 units the project plan alone reduces the total build out to 820 and it was concluded that the proposed streets can provide these capacities with minimal conflict or congestion In addition to studying roadway levels of service and ingress and egress questions the engineering firm Morrison Maierle (MM) also evaluated vehicle safety pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows project (See Exhibit C Attached ldquoMoonrise Meadows West Yellowstone Galiatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Reviewrdquo page 10-11 Finding of Fact 1 In summary upon review of reported vehicle crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to the north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue there were a total of four reported accidents during the timeframe January 1 2013 to December 31 2017 Based on the data contained in the report there is not a significant number of vehicle accidents identified that would warrant additional analysis andor mitigation Finding of Fact 2 It should be noted again that Town officials public and Council expressed concern regarding visibility and sight distance to the north and south at the project entry due to curves in Hayden Street and in winter during snow removal season The project proposal for a 4 way stops at the intersection at Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue was found to alleviate these concerns at the March 5 2019 Council hearing (Source Page 12 February 19 2019 ldquoStaff Report Moonrise Meadows Minor Subdivision Preliminary Plat Applicationrdquo) Finding of Fact 3 Mr Sabolsky in your letter to me dated April 22 2019 you noted on page 2 that indeed a trail extending from North Electric to the school property in fact exists This pedestrian and bike access is separated from the subdivision streets It is not clear how much the existing pathway is used by current residents in the subdivision at this time However it is noted in your letter that the existing separated pathway ldquois unlikely to actually serve the future subdivision residents It is not clear why the residents of the new development canrsquot simply walk across Hayden Street down Grayling Ave and access the pedestrian walkway at the end of the street If the streets are indeed unsafe for pedestrians as some members of the public have claimed in the record why would the Town as you

noted in your letter promote a street-side path Would the Town consider a mitigation of this issue to include improving access to the existing separated pathway at the cul-de-sacs of Cascade and Grayling Avenues and perhaps maintaining it in winter months with regular plowing The MM report page 11 recommends consistent with the Town staff recommendations that a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicycle facilities improvements is reasonable to ensure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future Finding of Fact 4 MM engineering in order to improve pedestrian andor bicycle access and safety recommends the Town encourage all residents to use the long-established pathway separated from the roadways in lieu of promoting a street-side pathway The engineers suggest that the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter Finding of Fact 5 The Findings of Fact Conclusions and Condition of Approval of the First Preliminary Plat of the Madison Addition state ldquo8 the subdivision will enhance public health and safety by alleviating residential crowding and lessoning congestion in the old Town site thereby creating a safer environment for families outside the commercial area of Townrdquo SEWER - ldquosewer discharge calculationsrdquo It is worth noting that the Town of West Yellowstone does not currently have capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow from the proposed Moonrise Meadows PUD It is unclear where the capacity for acceptance of additional wastewater flow for the Moonrise Meadow PUD has been allocated In December 1982 the Town and the property owners at the time entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo which provided a cost allocation agreement between the Town and the developer for increased municipal services roads sewer water storm water The agreement runs with the land and the agreement focus is on the Town approved ldquoMadison Addition ldquoZoning Planrdquo which shows the proposed zoning and subdivision layout for the whole of the property All of the municipal services roads sewer and water facilities needed to the serve the existing subdivision have been built and accepted by the Town and exist today The record shows in 1996 the Town Operations Manager Ken Davis reported to the ldquoDepartment of Environmental Qualityrdquo in Helena Montana that ldquoThe Town water designed and built in 1989 and the town waste water treatment facility upgraded in 1995 were built to provide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQ (See Attached Exhibit A February 6 1996 letter from Town of West Yellowstone to Department of Environmental Quality) It is noted by the applicants and Towns engineers that until such time as a temporary facility can be implemented or a long-term facility can be constructed and placed in operation acceptance of additional wastewater flow critically jeopardized the Towns ability to meet the current wastewater discharge

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

permit Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe

As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Finding of Fact 1
The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
The maximum monthly sanitary sewer discharge has been included in the calculations Peak and average hourly demand are included as well Conservatively an assumed infiltration rate is added to the sewer demand calculations though the depth to ground water makes this extremely unlikely The methods used for calculating peak flow for sanitary sewer (The Harmon Formula) and the peak water use (multiplying average daily demand times 3) cause some discrepancy in the two values Additionally water used for irrigation is unlikely to enter the waste water collection system Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new building permits and sewer connections allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new sewer connections granted by the Town
WATER- ldquowater demand calculationsrdquo
The Town has a moratorium on additional water demands The Town is currently working on a water model to determine system pressures and to determine if additional water is needed to meet current obligated demands
Finding of Fact 1
The water and sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit D ldquoDesign Report Water and Sanitary Sewer Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated July 2018- updated April 2019
Irrigation has been included in the demand calculations for the water system This value is conservative as the average number of persons per dwelling unit is expected to be less than 25 for the two-bedroom units Additionally the modern construction of the buildings will use more efficient low-flow fixtures than similar existing developments The fire flow demands for the hydrants and sprinkler systems are found in Appendix F - Fire Protection Plan Hydrant testing performed in 2017 shows that the existing system is capable of meeting fire flow demands These flow demands are not

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances

The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

included in the general water demand as they occur rarely during emergency situations Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water connections granted by the Town
STORM WATER ndash ldquoprovide an analysis for the 10-year and 100 year storm eventrdquo
Finding 1
The stormwater report has been updated to evaluate the 10-year and 100-year storm events The water and sanitary sewer design report has been updated
(See Attached Exhibit E ldquoDesign Report Stormwater Management Moonrise Meadows Subdivisionrdquo prepared by CampH Engineering dated August 2018 - updated April 2019
The report includes an explanation of the surrounding off-site flow conditions Please see the enclosed updated stormwater design report
SUMMARYAND CONCLUSIONS
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation the project sponsor Mr Yeakey and his development team have been working diligently to provide a comprehensive response to the request for additional information by your Town Council and specifically addressed in your April 1 and 22 2019 letters The above report also provides some additional historic perspective important for the Council consideration and future deliberations including the fact that the proposed project includes a voluntary 20 density reduction and that the Town and the previous land developer have entered in to a ldquoDevelopment Agreementrdquo allocating costs for road sewer and water improvements all of which exist today Moreover historic evidence has been provided to show that back in 1996 the Town reported to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Water Quality Bureau that in 1989 town water capacity and in 1995 town sewer capacity was built out to ldquoprovide adequate services to the Madison Addition at full build out and are a matter of record with the DEQrdquo
Apparently the Madison Addition development has paid its fair share of all costs for existing roads sewer and water capacity required to serve the existing subdivision and including the build out of the Moonrise Meadow PUD
The focus of the responses above and supported by evidence in the attached plans reports and studies address each of the Councilrsquos concerns specified in your letters In summary reexamining some of the previous studies and revisiting details of the plans will result in a better project For example a minor amendment to Plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 2 and Track 1 Madison Addition will reduce the tree loss located in the proposed buffer areas between existing single family homes and the proposed Moonrise Meadows condominium project These changes will provide significant additional protection to vegetation in buffers between the residential land uses well beyond the yard setbacks required by the
11
Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Townrsquos PDU rules and will allow for additional screening for the surrounding single family residential development and noise buffer along the eastern and southern property boundaries
The detailed ldquopeer reviewrdquo traffic analysis prepared by Morrison Maierle Engineers provides significant additional information pointing out that the initial traffic study findings grossly overestimated the potential vehicle trip generation for average weekday trips by 24 AM peak hour trips by 34 and PM peak hour trips by 36 respectively Based on evidence in the report the engineers found that the Option 1 access plan meets the currently promulgated Town guidelines and regulations and addresses the Town Councilrsquos fire safety road access concerns and desire to have two access points for ingress and egress Moreover the report found that the volume to capacity ratio facts indicate that there are no roadway capacity concerns that warrant mitigation by the Town Lastly the study confirmed that there are no significant vehicle traffic safety impacts and that existing pathways provide existing and new residences with safe alternative pedestrian and bicycle access separated from the subdivision roadways
Finally two updated reports for sewer water and storm water now address the project demands The updated stormwater report now includes the analysis for the 10 year and 100 year analysis pursuant to the standards specified in Circular DEQ-8 Because of the history of the site development and in good faith and consistent with the historic TownDeveloper Agreement it would seem fair for the Moonrise Meadow PUD to be granted first rights to any new water andor sewer connections and building permits allowed once the temporary or long-term facility improvements are made Accordingly on behalf of my clients I hereby request that the Town add a condition of approval stating specifically that the Moonrise Meadow PUD project be granted first rights for any new water and sewer connections granted by the Town
Accordingly I respectfully request that you include this letter and the attachments noted and provided herewith in the project administrative record and provide our team an opportunity to present these responses and findings of fact to the Town Council at the earliest possible convenience I look forward to continue working with you and your staff to bring this project forward to a successful approval as timely as is possible Please feel free to phone me andor any of the team members for additional clarifications regarding their respective work
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

The traffic operations analyses included in the TIS are based on the original trip generation estimates that are greater than those shown in Table 1 above Therefore the analyses provide a more conservative estimate of traffic operations and were not revised as a part of this review The Town of West Yellowstone specifically requested summaries of intersection traffic operations (levels of service) for each lane group at the intersections evaluated as a part of the TIS Levels of service and average vehicle delays were included in the analyses provided in Appendix C ndash LOS Calculations of the TIS In order to satisfy the Town of West Yellowstonersquos request graphical summaries of existing and projected traffic volumes and operations are provided in the following figures that are attached to this review summary

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic

Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

April 26 2019 Robert Yeakey Yeakey Family Trust 11760 Gee Norman Road Belgrade MT 59714 Re Moonrise Meadows | West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana Traffic Impact Study Review Dear Robert At your request Morrison-Maierle has completed a peer review of the traffic impact study prepared by Abelin Traffic Services (ATS) and provided additional analyses to address specific information requests from the Town Council of West Yellowstone outlined in an April 1 2019 letter to you from the Town Manager Daniel Sabolsky It is our understanding that at their March 5 2019 meeting the Town Council decided to postpone consideration of the proposed Moonrise Meadows preliminary plat and conditional permit application pending receipt of additional clarifying information Our peer review effort and additional analyses have been focused on addressing ingressegress related to the development the traffic impact study and traffic safety associated elements as delineated in the Town Managerrsquos letter
Proposed Development
The proposed development is to be located in West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana as noted previously on Tract 1 of the Madison Addition in the southwest quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East PMM The original development proposal evaluated as part of the traffic impact study (TIS) included a single access for the property to Hayden Street aligned with Grayling Avenue Since completion of the TIS two options have been developed for providing primary and secondary access to the development that will be discussed later Existing residential properties are located adjacent to the southern and eastern boundaries of the proposed development The northern and western boundaries border Custer Gallatin National Forest lands The development evaluated as part of the TIS included 144 apartment units 36 row houses and retaining one existing single-family residential home As currently proposed the single-family residential home would still remain but the remainder would be comprised of up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units The total estimated number of dwelling units remains the same from the TIS prepared by ATS

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

The traffic operations analyses included in the TIS are based on the original trip generation estimates that are greater than those shown in Table 1 above Therefore the analyses provide a more conservative estimate of traffic operations and were not revised as a part of this review The Town of West Yellowstone specifically requested summaries of intersection traffic operations (levels of service) for each lane group at the intersections evaluated as a part of the TIS Levels of service and average vehicle delays were included in the analyses provided in Appendix C ndash LOS Calculations of the TIS In order to satisfy the Town of West Yellowstonersquos request graphical summaries of existing and projected traffic volumes and operations are provided in the following figures that are attached to this review summary

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Traffic Impact Study Peer Review
Trip Generation
ATS Traffic Impact Study Analyses
Estimated vehicular trip generation for the Moonrise Meadows development was based on 144 apartment units and 36 row houses as part of the original ATS TIS analyses using the proposed number of dwelling units and Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment reportedly from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (September 2017) Data for ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Apartment was taken from the Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition based on our review of the analyses As provided in the ATS TIS the development was projected to generate weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicular trip volumes of 100 and 125 respectively plus 1298 weekday (24-hour period) trips at full build-out and occupancy The application of Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing may not have been appropriate as the original development plan was for six (6) six-plex units or row houses It may have been more appropriate to utilize ITE Land Use Code 220 ndash Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) from the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition in developing the estimated trip generation for the original development proposal
Revised Development Proposal Trip Generation
As noted previously the current development proposal is for constructing up to fifteen (15) three story twelve-plex condominiums for a total of 181 dwelling units counting the existing single-family detached home on the property that will remain as part of the development We then verified the estimated vehicular trip generation based on average rates for Land Use Code 210 ndash Single-Family Detached Housing and Land Use Code 221 - Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) found in ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition The trip generation estimates are summarized in Table 1 below ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) was selected as it is more reflective of and more in-line with the use description provided in the Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition for the proposed three story twelve-plex unit development Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition ldquoMid-Rise multifamily housing includes apartments townhouses and condominiums located within the same building with at least three other dwelling units and that have between three and 10 levels (floors)rdquo As shown in Table 1 on the following page utilization of ITE Land Use Code 221 yields a substantially lower estimated vehicular trip generation for the proposed development projecting a total of 990 average weekday trips and weekday AM and PM peak hour total trips of 66 and 80 vehicles respectively based on the current development proposal This represents a twenty-four percent (24) reduction in average weekday trips (990 lt 1298) a thirty-four percent (34) reduction in estimated AM peak hour trips (66 lt 100) and a thirty-six percent (36) reduction to estimated PM peak hour trips (80 lt 125) Additionally the vehicle trip generation estimates in the ATS TIS and those provided with the revised analysis assume that all units will be fully occupied (100) at all times ndash the most conservative analysis scenario As we have been made aware the proposed development is projecting that up to fifty percent (50) of the ownership of the condominium units would be part-time Thus it is not highly likely that the peak traffic estimates forecast from either study would be realized

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

The traffic operations analyses included in the TIS are based on the original trip generation estimates that are greater than those shown in Table 1 above Therefore the analyses provide a more conservative estimate of traffic operations and were not revised as a part of this review The Town of West Yellowstone specifically requested summaries of intersection traffic operations (levels of service) for each lane group at the intersections evaluated as a part of the TIS Levels of service and average vehicle delays were included in the analyses provided in Appendix C ndash LOS Calculations of the TIS In order to satisfy the Town of West Yellowstonersquos request graphical summaries of existing and projected traffic volumes and operations are provided in the following figures that are attached to this review summary

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Summer Peak Season Traffic Operations Analyses
Analyses Included with TIS
The TIS did note a peak season analysis was performed for the study area intersections by doubling the volume of traffic estimated for 2026 total traffic conditions for the weekday AM afternoon school PM and PM peak hours The analyses were not included with the ATS TIS The TIS did note the following
No LOS issues were identified for Hayden Street and its intersections with Gibbon Avenue and De Lacy Avenue
The intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street may experience LOS D on the Hayden Street southbound approach with double the volume of traffic for all movements on all approaches
Peaking Factor Analyses
Morrison-Maierle performed an evaluation of estimated traffic operations with summer traffic peaking during the summer months coinciding with the tourist season A peaking factor was derived by evaluating traffic volume counts obtained by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) on US Highway 20 between Hayden Street and Geyser Street during the months of June and July and comparing those volumes to MDT reported average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes MDT did not obtain volume counts in 2015 and counts were conducted during September in 2012 The peaking factor analyses are summarized in Table 2 below

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

US Highway 20 amp Hayden Street Summer Peaking Analyses
Analyses Considerations
Morrison-Maierle then performed capacity and level-of-service (LOS) analyses of summer peak traffic in comparison to those evaluated by ATS for existing conditions (2018 traffic volumes) and estimated 2026 total traffic volumes with the following considerations
US Highway 20 through traffic volumes (eastbound and westbound) were multiplied by the recommended 205 peaking factor
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Left and right turning traffic in the eastbound and westbound directions on US Highway 20 as well as traffic on the Hayden Street approaches are not estimated to be significantly affected by summer peaking traffic
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Counts conducted by ATS were done at a time when West Yellowstone schools were still in session which would not be the case during the summer Thereby the afternoon school PM peak traffic volumes may differ substantially from those observed the ATS TIS and have been excluded for the summer peaking analyses
Traffic volumes on the northbound and southbound Hayden Street approaches as well as left and right-turn volumes on US Highway 20 were each rounded up to a multiple of five
Queue lengths list in feet in Table 3 on the following page are based on an estimated 25 feet per vehicle
Analyses Findings
Morrison-Maierlersquos summer peaking analyses that are summarized in Table 3 on the following page found that the southbound Hayden Street approach may experience LOS D during the weekday PM peak hour based on estimated 2026 peak traffic volumes It should be noted that the estimated LOS D is marginally over the threshold between LOS C and D that occurs at
250 seconds for stop-controlled intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition | A
Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board
The HCM specifically notes ldquoIn evaluating the overall performance of TWSC [two-way stop-controlled] intersections it is important to consider measures of effectiveness such as volume-to-capacity ratios for individual movements average queue lengths and 95th percentile queue lengths in addition to considering delay By focusing on a single measure of effectiveness for the worst movement only such as delay for the minor-street left turn users may make less effective traffic control decisionsrdquo
The volume-to-capacity ratios (ratio of the volume of traffic on the approach versus the available capacity to handle traffic on that approach) do not indicate that there are any capacity concerns that would require mitigation Again the analyses are based on the projected traffic volumes for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums included as part of the original ATS TIS that are greater than the traffic volumes estimated under the current development proposal

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

The difference between the Morrison-Maierle analyses from those recently evaluated by ATS in their letter dated April 8 2019 is the result of only multiplying the US Highway 20 through traffic volumes by the peaking factor Again it is not estimated that the Hayden Street approaches nor the left and right turn volumes on US Highway 20 would experience the same peaking characteristics during the summer months Estimated site generated traffic from Moonrise
Meadows Condominiums certainly would not experience peaking during that timeframe
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 7 of 13 April 26 2019
Queuing Analyses
As shown in Table 3 on the previous page estimated vehicle queue lengths are included as part of the capacity and LOS analyses As specifically noted by the HCM evaluating vehicle queuing in conjunction with estimated average vehicle delays may provide a better representation of potential traffic impacts than simply looking at LOS alone Primary traffic impacts from the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums would be experienced on the southbound approach at the intersection of US Highway 20 and Hayden Street Weighing projected queue lengths on that approach would provide further insight into potential traffic impacts from the development
The estimated 2026 total traffic with summer peaking analyses shown in Table 3 identify a calculated maximum queue length of 50 feet There is currently at least 150 feet of queue storage available on the southbound Hayden Street approach at its intersection with US Highway 20 from the stop bar northward without blocking the upstream intersection of Hayden Street and Gibbon Avenue nor the crosswalk on the south side of that intersection Therefore the slightly longer than LOS C average vehicle delays are not projected to create upstream adverse traffic impacts Thereby mitigation measures are not deemed to be necessary for addressing estimated traffic operations with summer peak traffic at the US Highway 20 and Hayden Street intersection
Ingress Egress Considerations
CampH Engineering Access Options
Secondary access to the proposed development is a key concern as noted in review comments provided by the Town Manager in his April 1 2019 letter In particular the ability to evacuate residents if necessary while also maintaining access for emergency service providers is of paramount concern CampH Engineering and Surveying has prepared two alternatives as noted on the following page for providing primary and secondary access to the development that are attached for reference
Access Alternatives
Exhibit ndash Option 1
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way egress aligning with Cascade Avenue
A proposed 28 foot wide two-lane one-way ingress aligning with Grayling Avenue
Exhibit ndash Option 2
A proposed four-lane ingress egress aligning with Cascade Avenue having two lanes in each direction each with a paved surface width of 26 feet separated by a six foot wide median
An emergency access only roadway between Hayden Street and the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop aligned with Grayling Avenue ndash inclusive of breakaway emergency access gates at each end
Each option includes a provision for open space snow storage in the area between Hayden Street the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue
Each option above shows all-way stop control for the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 8 of 13 April 26 2019
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums
development is Option 1 with modifications as noted below
Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Additional Access Supporting Information amp Considerations
With the allowance for two-way traffic on each access road an alternative route would be available should one of the access roads become blocked due to an emergency or other event
A recommendation has been forwarded by the Planning Advisory Board to the Town Council to petition the US Forest Service to allow development of a street and associated public facilities from the west boundary of the property south to Iris Street
In consideration of installing all-way stop control at the Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue intersection the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notes that ldquoAll-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection reducing through and turning speeds and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be presentrdquo
Sight Distance
The minimum sight distance for approaches to Hayden Street would be evaluated based on MDTrsquos intersection sight distance (ISD) criteria for a stop-controlled intersection Stop-controlled intersections are analyzed based on Cases B and F for two-way stop control or single approach stop-control and Case E for all-way stop-controlled intersections as found in A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Case B evaluates left turn right turn and crossing maneuvers from the minor road approach which would be the proposed Cascade Avenue access Case F evaluates left turns from the major road (Hayden Street) Case E notes that the first vehicle stopped on each approach should be visible to the drivers of the first vehicles stopped on all other approaches The design minimum ISD values from AASHTO for design speeds of both 20 and 25 miles per hour are provided in Table 4 on the following page The currently posted speed limit on Hayden Street is 25 miles per hour however it should be noted that at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision the Town of West Yellowstone design standards utilized a design speed of 20 miles per hour for local roadways

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations

Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

As noted above the recommendation is to install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue Thereby this would address sight distance concerns noted in the ATS TIS at that intersection At the intersection of Hayden Street and Cascade Avenue the recommended AASHTO sight distance for a 25 mph design speed is available to the north and south of the intersection from the existing Cascade Avenue approach Both intersections would meet the 20 mph intersection sight distance standard based on the Town of West Yellowstone design criteria for local roadways in-place at the time of platting and development of the Madison Addition Subdivision Comments provided by the Town of West Yellowstone noted that snow storage adjacent to roadways may restrict sight distance at intersections along Hayden Street A field review conducted by Morrison-Maierle in April 2019 noted that the available pavement width on Hayden Street in the area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development (28 feet or greater as field measured) allows for vehicles to pull beyond snow storage areas to see oncoming traffic without encroaching on the adjacent through travel lane This was observed during the course of the field review A comparison of the driverrsquos view from the stop sign location at Cascade Avenue and Hayden Street is shown in the images below

Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 10 of 13 April 26 2019
Traffic Safety Considerations
Historical Crash Experience
A review of reported crashes occurring on Hayden Street from US Highway 20 to north of its intersection with Gallatin Avenue was made through MDTrsquos crash database from January 1 2013 through December 31 2017 There were a total of four reported crashes occurring during that timeframe within the analysis segment Descriptions of the crashes along with the MDT route designations (in parentheses) are provided below
US Highway 20 (C000012E) amp Hayden Street (C007909N)
2015 ndash August 1120 am Intersection related Left turn same direction crash with no apparent injuries
2016 ndash September 710 pm Non-junction related Sideswipe same direction in parking lane with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp Gibbon Avenue (C107903N)
2017 ndash December 400 am Non-junction related Parked vehicle crash on right side of roadway with no known injuries
Hayden Street (C007909N) amp De Lacy Avenue (C007915N)
2017 ndash January 320 pm Intersection related Right angle crash with no apparent injuries
From the data above there is not a significant number of crashes or an identifiable crash trend that would warrant additional analysis for mitigation The one right angle crash that did occur was on snow covered roadways at around the school dismissal time which may have been contributing circumstances
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Mobility
The ATS TIS did not evaluate pedestrian andor bicyclist mobility as a part of the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project As part of our review the following items were noted along with recommendations regarding pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
Currently pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities are nearly non-existent in the immediate area of the proposed Moonrise Meadows development
There is a walking path located to the east of the development at the end of the Cascade Avenue and Grayling Avenue cul-de-sacs that links to De Lacy Avenue to the south near the school site however pedestrians andor bicyclists may elect to primarily utilize existing roadways for access which has been stated by interested members of the public through the hearing processes for the development
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 11 of 13 April 26 2019
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future To allow for connectivity within the development consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID
Montana Department of Transportation Review
As identified in the February 19 2019 Staff Report for the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Preliminary Plat Application correspondence dated December 14 2018 from Mike Tierney (planner with the Montana Department of Transportation) stated that MDT concurs with the findings in the [ATS] TIS and that the subdivision does not appear to require mitigation to state highways Furthermore ldquoMr Tierney stated that if the Town requires the subdivider to make mitigations or improvements on MDT roads an encroachment permit would be required and MDT wound need to approve the planrdquo
Conclusion
Based on our review of the Abelin Traffic Services traffic impact study for the Moonrise Meadows Condominium project as well as the analyses included herein the proposed development is estimated to have minimal impact on the area transportation system with particular regard to vehicle pedestrian and bicyclist safety The facts analyses and evidence provided above supports our findings that are summarized as follows
Development Traffic Generation
The forecast traffic generation included in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS overestimated the average daily and weekday AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips based on the applied land use codes
Taking into consideration the revised development proposal with the three story twelve-plex units and applying the appropriate ITE Land Use Code 221 ndash Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) for the proposed use the current Moonrise Meadows development proposal is projected to generate substantially fewer vehicle trips than what was included in and evaluated as part of the original Abelin Traffic Services TIS
Traffic Operations Analyses
No substandard traffic operations were identified in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS for 2018 existing nor estimated 2026 total traffic conditions This peer review and additional analysis supports the initial findings presented in the Abelin Traffic Services TIS
The Town of West Yellowstone requested a summary document showing the level-of-service (LOS) for each turning movement at the study area intersections LOS is analyzed by lane group (lane with allowable movements) for two-way stop-controlled intersections using the latest Highway Capacity Software in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual Abelin Traffic Services provided a summary in their April 8 2019 response to this request Additionally Morrison-Maierle has provided graphical summaries of traffic operations for each study area intersection for 2018 existing and estimated 2026 total traffic operations
Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

Moonrise Meadows Condominiums Traffic Impact Study Review Page 12 of 13 April 26 2019
Analyses of traffic operations under summer peaking conditions were evaluated by both Abelin Traffic Services (factoring in school impacts when school is normally out of session in the summer months) and Morrison-Maierle Although each found that average vehicle delays may exceed the threshold for LOS C the additional delay was not found to impact through traffic flow on US Highway 20 or upstream on Hayden Street towards its intersection with Gibbon Avenue
Estimated vehicle queue lengths on the southbound approach at the intersection of Hayden Street and US Highway 20 are projected to be within the available queue storage between US Highway 20 and Gibbon Avenue without causing upstream intersection blockage under summer peak traffic conditions
Based on the traffic operations and queuing analyses no additional mitigation is recommended at any of the study area intersections
Access Recommendations
The recommended access configuration for the proposed Moonrise Meadows Condominiums development is Option 1 as prepared by CampH Engineering and Surveying with the modifications as noted below
o Install each access road with a minimum paved surface width of 28 feet and adequate clearance beyond the paved surface to meet snow storage requirements and allow for adequate sight distance at intersections
o Allow for two-way traffic on each access roadway
o Install all-way stop control at the intersection of Hayden Street and Grayling Avenue This would assist with addressing intersection sight distance concerns noted by Abelin Traffic Services in the TIS It is also estimated that the Grayling Avenue access would experience the higher traffic volumes based on forecast trip distribution and the proposed layout of the twelve-plex units within the development
Pedestrian amp Bicyclist Considerations
In order to improve pedestrian andor bicyclist access and encourage them to use the long-established pathway away from traffic in lieu of existing roadways it is recommended that the Town of West Yellowstone andor the Madison Addition Property Owners Association consider improving the existing pathway and providing for its maintenance including snow removal in the winter
The recommendation by Town of West Yellowstone staff for recording of a Waiver of Right to Protest the creation of a Special Improvement District (SID) for potential future pedestrian andor bicyclist facilities seems reasonable to insure equitable participation in those improvements by all benefitting parties should they be installed in the future
To allow for connectivity within the Moonrise Meadows Condominiums project consideration should be given to the incorporation of pedestrian andor bicycle elements within the development This would also alleviate coordination concerns with potential future improvements through an SID

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

July 2018 (Updated April 2019)
INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot minor subdivision located on Tract 1 and
Lot 1 Block 2 of the Madison Addition to the Town of West Yellowstone according to the official
plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder Gallatin County
Montana (Plat No J-120) and located in Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Gallatin County Montana The subject property is zoned R-4 This project will require connection
to existing Town of West Yellowstone water and sanitary sewer systems
WATER amp SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The water and sanitary sewer mains will connect to the existing 8rdquo mains located within Hayden
Street A street cut will be required in Hayden Street to make these connections The mains will
loop through the proposed Moonrise Meadows Loop outside of the paved road section to provide
service for the proposed buildings
WATER SYSTEM DEMAND
The water demand numbers used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Circular DEQ 1
Input Data
Fire-Flow Water requirements are included in the Appendix F of the preliminary plat application
The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

The proposed subdivision demands will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos master
water model to confirm adequate pressure and capacity exist within the system
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DEMAND
The wastewater generation rates used herein are according to the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality Circular DEQ 4 The peaking factor for the design area is determined by
figuring the equivalent population and inserting the population into the Harmon Formula Using
the DEQ standard of 25 persons per household the equivalent population is calculated The peak
flow rate is then calculated by multiplying the DEQrsquos design generation rate of 100 gallons per
capita per day by the population multiplying by the peaking factor and adding the infiltration rate
The proposed subdivision generation rates will be analyzed by the Town Engineer in the Townrsquos
master sanitary sewer model to confirm adequate capacity exists within the system

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Moonrise Meadows Subdivision is a 5-lot subdivision located on a 21029-acre tract
of land in the Southwest Quarter of Section 27 Township 13 South Range 5 East of PMM
Town of West Yellowstone Gallatin County Montana The subject property is bordered on the
north and west by vacant US Forest Service land and by the existing Maddison Addition
Subdivsion to the east and south The site generally slopes to the northwest at approximately 03
Since the adjacent upslope property is the existing Madison Addition Subdivision with its own
stormwater infrastructure it is not anticipated that a significant amount of off-site flow enters the
site Therefore this design analyzes The pre- and post-development runoff from the subject
property only
Site grading channelized flow and retention ponds will be used to manage stormwater runoff A
Drainage Area Map is included in Appendix A Calculations for each individual drainage area
(total area and weighted C factor) are included in Appendix B
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Retention ponds have been sized according to Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Circular 8 Retention ponds are sized to capture the entire volume of the 2-year 24-hour storm
event with I = 125 inches per the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8
Spreadsheet for the closest meteorological station (West Yellowstone Gateway) (See Appendix
C) This calculation is conservative as DEQ Circular 8 only requires the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff to be retained by stormwater facilities and we are not subtracting the
pre-development runoff from the volume to be retained In addition to retaining the entire 2-year
storm event the onsite facilities have been sized to retain the difference in pre- and
post-development runoff during a 10-year storm event Calculations used for sizing each pond
can be found in Appendix B Design pond capacities were calculated using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Retention Pond 1
Retention Pond 1 is located in the Common Open Space 1 Easement directly south of Moonrise
Meadows Loop It receives runoff from Drainage Area 1 with a total area of 1229 acres Runoff
from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

from Drainage Area 1 is conveyed via surface flow channelized flow parallel to Moonrise
Meadows Loop and culverts to Retention Pond 1 The required volume of the pond is 27605
cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event The proposed pond is designed to store 29204 cubic
feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2 feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond
volume can be found in Appendix B
Retention Pond 2
Retention Pond 2 is located on the northern portion of Common Open Space 2 Easement The
pond receives runoff from Drainage Area 2 with a total area of 962 acres The runoff is conveyed
via surface flow and channelized flow to proposed Retention Pond 2 near the south end of the
property The required volume for the pond is 20001 cubic feet based on the 2-year storm event
The proposed pond is designed to store 22476 cubic feet The pond has 31 side slopes and is 2
feet deep Supporting calculations for the required pond volume can be found in Appendix B A
12-foot all-seasonal gravel road will provide access to the proposed pond for maintenance
10-Year Storm Event
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires conveyance structures to
transmit post-development peak flow during a 10-year storm event The time of concentration for
the largest drainage area (Drainage Area 1) is calculated using the spreadsheet provided by the
DEQ (See Appendix C) The Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve based on the West Yellowstone
Gateway meteorological station is then used to find the design intensity for a 10-year storm event
A design intensity of 092 inches per hour is used for sizing conveyance facilities within the
proposed subdivision In addition to the adequately sized conveyance facilities the retention
ponds are also designed to retain the difference between pre- and post-development runoff during
a 10-year storm event which is not required by DEQ Circular 8 A design intensity of 187 inches
per hour was used based on the nearest rainfall station available from DEQ 8 Appendix A which
is Hebgen Dam (See Appendix C) Supporting calculations for conveyance of the 10-year rainfall
event along the proposed roadside ditch and through proposed PVC culverts are included in
Appendix B
100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land

100-Year Storm Event
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 8 requires that discharge from retention
facilities may not inundate buildings or drainfields during a 100-year storm event During a 100-
year storm event excess runoff from Retention Pond 1 will back up in the adjacent open space lot
and flow in to the proposed roadside ditches and overflow onto the southeast corner of Lot 4 From
there it will follow an existing historical flow path westerly to the US Forest Service land to the
west
Retention Pond 2 is designed to retain difference in the pre- and post-development runoff
volume In the event of a storm larger than the 10-year event excess runoff in Retention Pond 2
will be routed through an outlet structure at the southwest corner of the pond and into the existing
30rdquo RCP drain pipe running along the southern edge of the property This existing stormwater pipe
discharges on to the US Forest Service land to the west In the event of a 100-year storm excess
runoff in Retention Pond 2 would by pass this outlet structure and overtop the pond It would then
flow downhill to the west onto the existing US Forest Service land
