Stitzel, Page, and Fletcher are thus intimately familiar with the City’s tax collection processes and procedures. In accordance with 32 V.S.A. §5258(a)(5), the legal fees and costs actually and reasonably incurred by the tax collector for legal assistance, up to 15% of the uncollected tax, can be included in the amounts owed by delinquent taxpayers to the City and, consequently, these fees and costs are not paid for by the City. The City Administration therefore recommends that the City Council authorize the Tax Department to contract with Stitzel, Page, and Fletcher as the City’s attorneys for tax sale collection. City Council Consent Agenda Item REQUEST FOR DESIGNATION OF ATTORNEY FOR TAX SALE COLLECTION (all fees reimbursed to the City once sale is final) In accordance with 32 VSA § 5258, the South Burlington City Council hereby authorizes the South Burlington Tax Department to contract with Stitzel, Page & Fletcher, P.C. as the City's attorneys for tax sale collection for the 2021-2022 and previous tax years. _____________________________ _______________ Helen Riehle, Chair Date MEMORANDUM TO: Jessie Baker, City Manager; South Burlington City Council FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning and Zoning SUBJECT: Authorization of Expenditure from Conservation Fund; 500 Cheesefactory Road DATE: October 3, 2022 City Council meeting The City has received a request for a contribution towards the permanent conservation of the majority of a ~40 acre parcel at 500 Cheesefactory Road, from Bob Heiser of the Vermont Land Trust in coordination the property owner, Sarah Dopp. The request is as follows, as described by Bob Heiser: “As you may know, Sarah Dopp has been talking with VLT for many years about the conservation of her land, and she is interested in moving forward with the generous donation of a conservation easement on her property. The conservation project has many great outcomes that I’ll outline below. While Sarah is generously donating the conservation easement, VLT will have costs associated with the conservation of the property and establishing a permanent conservation easement stewardship endowment to ensure VLT’s ability to monitor and uphold the conservation easement in perpetuity. This endowment and costs to VLT will total approximately $19,915. Sarah is also generously willing to donate $10,000 to VLT to cover a portion of these costs, and VLT is seeking funds to cover the remainder of these costs to make the project possible. We are interested in seeking $9,915 from the South Burlington Open Space / Conservation Fund to enable us to conserve this land. “Sarah is interested in donating a conservation easement on 40 acres of her property (see attached map). The land includes agricultural fields used by neighboring Bread & Butter Farm and contains agricultural soils of statewide significance. The land also includes impressive natural features, including headwater tributaries of Shelburne Pond, a large wetland cattail marsh – alder swamp complex, and Wet Clayplain Forest, an uncommon natural community in Vermont. The conservation easement will also include a provision for a public trail that could help connect the City of South Burlington’s Scott property to the western portion of the Bread & Butter Farm’s land to ensure connectivity if needed for any future connection of the Scott property to Shelburne Pond via this western route. “The land to be conserved is virtually surrounded by conserved and public land, flanked on the sides by conserved land owned by Bread & Butter Farm and bordered to the north by the City’s Scott property. Excluded from the conservation easement will be approximately two acres with two residences, and 0.4 acres subject to an easement benefiting a neighboring property for septic and other uses. “In total, this generous donation of a conservation easement will have significant conservation benefits for agricultural land, significant natural communities, streams, wetlands, and water quality, and potentially future public recreational trail access and connections. Finally, it will also contribute to protecting the special rural character of this corner of South Burlington.” The available balance of the Conservation Fund is ~$377,000 including the current fiscal year’s revenue. Possible Council Action: To authorize the City Manager to release up to $9,915 from the South Burlington Conservation Fund for the purposes of supporting conservation of the subject parcel as described herein.

The application materials are attached. The Housing Trust Fund Committee met on August 23, 2022, to draft questions for the applicants and then on September 22, 2022, to review the materials. At the September 6, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council provided guidance to use $1M of ARPA funds and $100,000 of Trust Fund dollars to fund three projects that added to the affordable housing stock in the City of South Burlington. As a result, the balance of the Housing Trust Fund is $50,000. At their meeting on September 22, 2022, the Housing Trust Fund Committee voted 2-0 to approve Summit’s request and provide the remaining $50,000 to the applicant for their project at O’Brien Farm. Suggested Motion: Accept the Housing Trust Fund’s recommendation to allocate $50,000 of Housing Trust Fund dollars to Summit Properties for the “Summit at O’Brien Farm Apartments.” 7 Aspen Drive, Suite 1 | South Burlington, VT 05403 | www.SummitPMG.com Summit at O’Brien Farm Housing Trust Fund Request September 15, 2022 Introduction On behalf of Summit Properties, through its development arm Green Mountain Development Group, Inc. and its affiliated non-profit Ascend Housing Allies, Inc. (collectively “Applicant” or “Summit”), this application is for the development of the Summit at O’Brien Farm Apartments (the “Apartments”), a 94- apartment family rental housing development to be located at lots 10 and 11 of the Hillside at O’Brien Farm community in South Burlington. The Apartments will represent one of the highest impact mixed- income housing communities ever constructed in the City in one phase. With 71 affordable apartments, 20 of which will provide services for the homeless and at-risk, in highly efficient, electric-heated and cooled buildings, the Apartments represent a transformational opportunity to meet all of City’s highest housing priorities. Applicant is requesting $150,000 of South Burlington Housing Trust Fund resources, which will be the final financing piece that will enable this development to move forward. The need for these funds arises out of a convergence of unprecedented demand for affordable housing, combined with one of the most volatile labor and materials markets in recent memory. Of the approximately $29,000,000 necessary to develop this community, Applicant has secured a total of $28,500,000 of financing through awards from the Vermont Housing Finance Agency, Vermont Housing & Conservation Board, and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development. Despite this historic level of affordable housing funding secured for this project, recent rising construction costs and interest rates have left a financing gap, and this project cannot move forward without this final $150,000 Housing Trust Fund award from the City of South Burlington. Project Overview The Apartments will provide high-quality, affordable residential rental housing with a unique mix of services and amenities. The Apartments will integrate a mix of market-rate apartments targeted at South Burlington’s middle-income residents, affordable apartments targeted at low-income families earning less than 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), very low-income families earning less than 30% of AMI, and apartments providing service-enriched housing for the homeless and at-risk of homelessness through a collaboration with the Committee on Temporary Shelter Serving Vermont (“COTS”). This 7 Aspen Drive, Suite 1 | South Burlington, VT 05403 | www.SummitPMG.com mixed-income approach was targeted to directly address the greatest housing needs of the City of South Burlington and Chittenden County as a whole. Summit will develop this project as the general partners in conjunction with National Equity Fund as the tax credit investor and limited partner. The total development cost will be approximately $29,000,000, as set forth in greater detail on the enclosed development pro forma. With total development expenses less than $310,000 per unit, this project represents an exceptionally efficient use of resources. On a statewide level, this is 15-20% more efficient than other current affordable new construction projects. In addition to utilizing significant permanent debt, a Housing Trust Fund award from the City will represent just over $2,000 per affordable unit, an efficiency created because the Apartments will leverage approximately: • $14,500,000 of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity (awarded by VHFA) • $4,850,000 in State ARPA funding (awarded by VHCB) • $1,000,000 CDBG Grant (awarded by ACCD) • $460,000 in Vermont State Tax Credit equity (awarded by VHFA) • $400,000 in Vermont Housing Investment Fund resources (awarded by VHFA) • $250,000 in energy efficiency incentives (through Efficiency Vermont) • $300,000 local ARPA (awarded by the City of South Burlington) • $500,000 deferred development fee (contributed by Applicant) The Apartments will consist of 94 units of general occupancy housing in two buildings. The Apartments will serve a mixed-income population with 16 studio apartments, 54 1-bedroom apartments and 24 2- bedroom apartments. Of the 94 units, 23 will be market rate and 71 will be affordable to low-income families and individuals earning less than 60% of AMI. Of the 71 affordable apartments, 20 will have project-based vouchers awarded by the Burlington Housing Authority and will support homeless and at- risk families, with service-enriched housing services provided by COTS. The Apartments anticipate beginning construction in the fall of 2022 and be completed by spring 2024. The Apartments will provide many amenities, including underground parking, a fitness center, outdoor community space including patio and deck, available storage lockers, laundry, and on-site management office. The Apartments include common areas and residential units that support people with disabilities, including physical accessibility and Universal Design features. Every unit in the project will be adaptable and visitable, as defined by the Vermont Housing Finance Agency’s Universal Design standards. Proposed Development Timeline Applicant proposes to develop the Project on the following timeline: September 2022: Award of Local ARPA Funds and Housing Trust Fund October 2022: Disbursement of Local ARPA and HTF Funds and Construction Start April 2024: Construction Completion July 2024: 100% Occupancy 7 Aspen Drive, Suite 1 | South Burlington, VT 05403 | www.SummitPMG.com Financial Request and Draft Grant Agreement Applicant requests a Housing Trust Fund Award in the amount of $150,000. Applicant requests that the HTF Grant Agreement mirror the terms of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that this Project and the City have already been awarded. The funds would be awarded to the Project’s non-profit affiliate, Ascend Housing, and then loaned to a to-be-formed limited partnership through a loan with a term of 15 years at 0% interest. This structure enables the grant to be combined with Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Applicant is currently working with the Agency of Commerce and Community Development on the terms of the CDBG award for this Project, and Applicant proposes that the award of these funds mirror the CDBG terms. Applicant requests the opportunity to work with the City and Applicant’s auditors to finalize grant terms that allow for a timely disbursement of resources in a manner compatible with the requirements of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit financing for the Apartments. Reporting and Financial Draw Down Schedule Applicant requests that the $150,000 HTF award be drawn down for the payment of acquisition and pre- development expenses and be disbursed at closing in October 2023. Given the overlap of this award with the CDBG, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and State ARPA awards, Applicant proposes that the City’s reporting terms mirror those of the State ARPA reporting requirements. These requirements are currently being worked out with VHCB, and applicant requests an opportunity to provide reporting documentation to the City that matches the reporting terms proposed by VHCB. Inclusionary Zoning Requirements This Project will provide 71 affordable apartments within the Hillside at O’Brien Farm community. As set forth in the Final Plat Findings of Fact and Decision #SD-21-25, the minimum inclusionary requirement for each of the buildings on Lots 10 and 11 is 7. In addition, the minimum Inclusionary Zoning requirement for the entire Hillside at O’Brien Farm phase is 49 units, which may be adjusted by no more than 5%. See Findings of Fact and Decision #SD-21-25 at Pages 5-6. With 71 affordable units, targeted at or below 60% of Area Median Income, 20 of which will be set aside for the Homeless and At-Risk, this Project will not only exceed the minimum Inclusionary Requirement for these two buildings, but will exceed the overall Inclusionary Requirement for the entire Hillside at O’Brien Farm PUD by 21 units and will target significantly lower-income families than required. 7 Aspen Drive, Suite 1 | South Burlington, VT 05403 | www.SummitPMG.com Energy Efficiency The Project will meet Efficiency Vermont’s High-Performance Track for multifamily development (see attached appendix). The Project will include 100% electric heating and cooling, utilizing energy efficient mini-split units with full-building Heat Recovery Ventilation. All appliances will be Energy-Star rated. The thermal shell will include air leakage below .1 cfm50/ft2. Applicant will perform air leakage testing to ensure these standards are met, in accordance with Efficiency Vermont’s High-Performance Track requirements. For comparison, Applicant’s last two mixed-income communities in Winooski achieved air leakage below .07, which approach Passive House air leakage standards. Applicant will use the same construction specifications on the Apartments and expects to achieve the same or better air leakage results. This commitment to energy-efficiency will result in buildings that are net-zero ready. Readiness and Track Record Summit Properties is one of the State’s most respected affordable housing developers and managers. Enclosed are the development team resumes for Summits key employees and owners, as well as an overview of Summit’s extensive affordable housing portfolio. In fact, VHFA recently chose Summit and this exemplary project as the site for a press announcement on the federal funding of a state-wide housing fund that was attended by members of Vermont’s Congressional delegation. With the exception of a small financing gap created by recent cost and interest rate increases, this Project has overcome every major financing and permitting hurdle and will be ready to proceed with construction this fall. Applicant has received Final Plat approval from the City of South Burlington and has applied for its zoning permit. Applicant has received all major permits and is on the precipice of breaking ground as soon as the final financing pieces are in place. Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Summit Properties recognizes the role that housing policy and practices have historically played in racial inequality and is committed to doing what we can to reverse that inequity. Summit has demonstrated a commitment to increasing diversity and opportunity within our communities and our workplace. At the organizational level, Summit has worked for over a year with a consultant focused on helping organizations center marginalized voices to achieve equity, justice, and an inclusive community. Our work has been transformative and is ongoing. This work has included both company-wide trainings and ongoing consultation to continue to improve our impact. In addition, all staff are required to take Fair Housing trainings, which focus on identifying and avoiding biases in apartment leasing and management. At the community level, Summit intentionally markets all properties and apartment openings to reach diverse populations. Summit uses imagery representing diverse tenants in all of our property advertising. Summit recently attracted and helped support a New American- and Women-owned commercial tenant in starting a restaurant business in Winooski, which is located in Summit’s most recently developed mixed-income community. At the same community, Summit engaged a minority- 7 Aspen Drive, Suite 1 | South Burlington, VT 05403 | www.SummitPMG.com owned muralist to lead a community mural project resulting in a BIPOC-focused permanent mural on a prominent exterior wall. For the lease-up of Summit at O’Brien Farm, Summit will work with partners at the Burlington Housing Authority (“BHA”), Vermont Housing Finance Agency (“VHFA”), Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (“VHCB”), Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (“CVOEO”), Committee on Temporary Shelter (“COTS”), Chittenden County Homeless Alliance (“CCHA”), US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants Vermont (fka the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program) and other local organizations representing populations that are least likely to apply. We currently rent to a higher percentage of BIPOC residents than are represented in the regional population as a whole and expect to do the same at Summit at O’Brien Farm. We also recognize that these steps alone are not enough and are always striving to increase our equity impact. We would like to work with the City of South Burlington to accomplish our mutual goals of redressing the history of housing inequality and will continue to grow the work we are doing to improve organizationally. ------------------------------ LIHTC TOTAL UNITS COST PER ELIGIBLE NUMBER OF UNITS 47 82.98% USES OF FUNDS Land Land 674,000 14,340 Purchase of Buildings(s)188,000 4,000 82,979 Transfer Tax 12,132 258 0 874,132 18,599 82,979 Development Architect and MEP 90,000 1,915 74,681 Structural Engineer 30,000 638 24,894 Soils Engineer 20,000 426 16,596 Civil Engineer -80,000 1,702 66,383 Legal 80,000 1,702 66,383 Administration 0 0 0 Accounting 4,000 85 3,319 Development Fee 1,650,000 35,106 1,369,149 Other Professionals (Soils / Borings )0 0 0 Other Professionals (Other Consultants)10,000 213 8,298 Other Professionals (Environmental)2,500 53 2,074 Other Professionals (Permitting)0 0 0 Other Development Costs (Appraisals)4,500 96 3,734 Other Development Costs (Supplies / Office)2,500 53 2,074 Other Development Costs (Title / Recording)3,750 80 3,112 Subtotal 1,977,250 42,069 1,640,697 General Title Insurance 25,000 532 20,745 Construction Insurance 48,000 1,021 39,830 Tax Credit Fees 37,500 798 0 Property Taxes 20,000 426 16,596 Bldg Permit & Impact Fees 150,000 3,191 124,468 Subtotal 280,500 5,968 201,638 Construction Building Construction (stipulated sum)10,700,000 227,660 8,787,447 SUMMIT PROPERTIES -

This credit is being requested as an addition to the credits authorized in April 2020 and January 2022. The credit is being sought following review and approval of an additional 9 dwelling units on the site. Eligibility: Road Impact Fee Ordinance Section 8 - Credits for “In-Kind” Contributions A. "In-Kind" contribution shall mean provision, by a person subject to payment of an impact fee, of land or equipment or construction of facilities that are included in the impact fee analyses and computations, and which are included in or consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. Upon recommendation of the Development Review Board or Administrative Officer, the City Council may approve a credit against any impact fee levied under this ordinance for the value of "In-Kind" contributions. The amount of credit for an "In-Kind" contribution shall be based on the actual cost to the person requesting the credit of providing or creating the facilities. The Development Review Board or Administrative Officer shall indicate the basis on which the amount of credit is determined. The amount of credit for an "In-Kind" contribution shall not exceed the total amount of the impact fee for that type of facility which would otherwise be levied on the proposed development. Details of request: The project received site plan approval #SP-22-031 to modify a previous approval for renovations to the Holiday Inn and construction of a Hampton Inn on the property. The amendment further modifies the modifies the mixed-use building on the site to convert it from a 74-dwelling unit building to an 83-dwelling unit building. The approved plans include construction of a new roadway segment that is shown on the City’s Official Map. The segment would begin at the Dorset Street / Williston Road intersection, head north, and then east to the property line. Per the Official Map, this roadway segment would eventually link to Patchen Road. The applicant has estimated the roadway construction cost for their segment at $440,643. The applicant is seeking permissible credit for Highway Impact Fees that would be owed for the increase in p.m. peak hour vehicle trips generated by the new development. Site plan approval #SP-22-031 estimates four (4) additional p.m. peak hour trips beyond those previously approved and credited. Highway Impact Fees are levied at a rate of $999 per p.m. peak hour trip generated, less credit for past taxes paid and future taxes to be paid via property tax. Pursuant to the Impact Fee Ordinance, the Administrative Officer recommended the issuance of the credit for these 4 trips in SP-22-031 As this figure is significantly less than the total estimated construction costs for the roadway, a full credit is warranted. Staff therefore recommends the Council approve the highway impact fee credit for the 4 additional pm peak hour trip ends. \\vhb\gbl\proj\SBurlington\57913.01 Larkin Holiday Inn\docs\Permits\Local Materials\Zoning Permit Phase 2A\NDMF 2A CC Impact Fees Cover Letter.docx September 21, 2022 Mr. Paul Connor, AICP Director of Planning and Zoning City of South Burlington 575 Dorset St. South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Request for Credit for Traffic Impact Fees Holiday Inn Redevelopment Project Phase 2A, 1068 Williston Road North Dorset Multi Family Building #SP-22-031 Dear Paul, On behalf of Champlain School Apartments Partnership, VHB is writing to request City Council approval of a fee credit equal to 4 additional trips for the Holiday Inn Redevelopment Project (“Project”) located at 1068 Williston Road. This would bring the total number of increased trips to 59. Findings of Facts and Decision #SP-22-031 Traffic Impact Fee Section (page 20) includes a recommendation by the Administrative Officer that the City Council issue a credit against traffic impact fees for the Project due to the fact that the Project proposes to construct approximately 250 linear feet of a planned City street in the T-4 District, which is a traffic fee eligible project. The construction cost is now estimated to be $440,643 which includes 15% contingency. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if any additional materials are required.

Option 1 involves accepting the base bid and some of the add/alts to make use of the City’s current additional funding of approximately $1,200,000 and the project earmark funding of $1,050,000. This brings the currently available funding for construction, construction inspection, and construction engineering to $2,250,000. Option 2 includes the same add/alts a Option 1 but includes an add/alt at additional cost to the City. Option 3 is to pursue enough additional funds that the City can construct the base bid plus all of the add/alts. All three options include $130,000 for construction inspection and construction engineering. Option 1: Select add/alts to get the base bid, add/alts, and construction inspection and engineering to within $2.25 million dollars Option 1 is the base bid plus all add/alts except 1, 3, and 5 (Kennedy Drive, San Remo Drive, and the Blue Mall). The total of this option is $2,198,895 and falls within the City’s currently available funding. Leaving out alternatives 1 and 3 will mean pedestrian improvements and vehicle detection at the San Remo Drive and Blue Mall intersections will not be made. Leaving out alternative 5 means that the upgrade to mast arm signal poles at Kennedy Drive, and signal detection and coordination equipment, will not be constructed however, the pedestrian improvements at this intersection are included int the base bid. The recommended upgrades at all other intersections, listed as add/alts 2,4, and 6 through 11, will be included. Option 2: Option 1, plus add/alt 1 Option 2 would add the Kennedy Drive intersection add/alt to Option 1 giving the City a substantial infrastructure upgrade at this intersection. The existing span wires would be removed and replaced with mast arm signal poles. Additionally, monitoring cameras and signal preemption would be added to the intersection. The cost of option 2 is $2,526,595. Considering the currently available funding of $2,250,000, Option 2 would require securing $276,595 in additional funding. September 23, 2022 Tom DiPietro Page 2 of 2 Reference: Dorset Street Signals Add/Alts Option 3 Full Project Funding Include additional funding for construction of the base bid ($1,731,555.00) plus all add/alts ($988,680.00) plus construction inspection and engineering ($130,000) for a total project construction cost of $2,850,235. This option includes all recommendations of the original design based on scoping of the corridor and would add all pedestrian, detection, and coordination components. Considering the currently available funding of $2,225,000, this option would require securing $600,235 in additional funding. Respectfully, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC.

Stantec has analyzed these bids and we are pleased to present the following findings and recommendations. 1. Two contractors (Engineers Construction, Inc. and J. Hutchins, Inc.) submitted base bids of $1,731,555.00 and $2,184,328.00 respectively. The FHWA guidance says that competition is adequate when the low bid does not exceed 105% of the Engineer’s estimate when there are two bidders or more. The apparent low base bid is 137% of the Engineer’s estimate. The apparent low bid is outside the FHWA guidance. Stantec feels that due to the current bidding environment, there is no advantage to rebidding this project. Average bid prices have been rising over the last few months and the chance of getting lower bid prices from rebidding the project is very low. This bid should be exempt from the adequate competition guidance. 2. The bid packages of both bidders were reviewed to determine if all the required forms were submitted. It was found that the bids that were received included the following required documents: Bid Proposal Form; Bid Bond, and VTrans pre-qualifications. 3. The required forms were examined to determine if they were properly completed. No errors were found in Engineers Construction, Inc. forms. The bid included the required signatures and acknowledged receipt of all addenda. 4. Engineers Construction, Inc. is the lowest qualified bidder. Their bid was analyzed to identify “unbalanced items". Bids can be unbalanced in two different ways: materially and mathematically. Mathematically unbalanced bids are individual price quotations that do not reasonably reflect actual costs. Materially unbalanced bids are ones that generate doubt that the award would result in the lowest ultimate cost. September 23, 2022 Tom DiPietro, Public Works Director Page 2 of 2 Reference: University Place Reconstruction Project Bid Analysis To check for unbalanced bids, it is standard practice to review items where the engineer’s bid price and contractors bid price differ by 1% of the total bid amount. Guidance also states to evaluate a total value of items that equal greater than 80% of the absolute value of the differences between the Engineer’s estimated costs and the Low Bid costs. For this bid, those items that differed by 0.70% of the bid price totaled greater 80% of the total variance, so checking additional items is not necessary. Please refer to the attached spreadsheet for Stantec's detailed analysis of "unbalanced items". In summary, the bid from Engineers Construction Inc. is not mathematically or materially unbalanced and offers no advantage to the contractor or disadvantage to the City of South Burlington. Based on our analysis of the bid submitted, we recommend that the City of South Burlington award the contract to Engineers Construction Inc. for the base bid amount of $1,731,555 and include any alternatives that can be supported financially. Please contact us if you have questions regarding our analysis and recommendation. We will be happy to meet with you at your convenience to discuss this further.

The low bid unit price is higher than the estimated unit price for this item. The engineer's estimated price is based on experience with similar projects. The second low bid unit price was $60.00. This price is considered acceptable. The low bid unit price is higher than the estimated unit price for this item. The engineer's estimated price is based on VTrans regression pricing. The second low bid unit price was $4,700.00. There is little chance of this item overrunning. This price is considered acceptable. The purpose of this analysis is to help determine whether or not it is in the Town's best interest to award this Contract to the lowest responsive bidder. If a bid is unbalanced (materially or mathematically) then it may not be in the Town's best interest to award the Contract to that bidder. To check for unbalanced bids, it is standard practice to review items where the engineer's estimated item costs and the contractor's bid item cost differ by ± 1% of the total bid amount. Guidance also says to evaluate a total value of items that equal greater than 80% of the absolute value of the differences between the Engineer's estimated costs and the Low Bid costs. For this bid analysis, a threshold of 1.0% of the total bid amount was used. Using 1.0% resulted in the total costs evaluated being higher than the 80% guideline. The analyzed items (highlighted in yellow) are listed below with the engineer's opinion regarding acceptance the bid price. Additional items are listed where there is greater than 25% difference between then engineer's and contractor's unit price. Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost Engineers Construction Inc The low bid unit price is much higher than the estimated unit price for this item. Lump sum items are often difficult to estimate. The estimated price was estimated at 8% of all other contract items. The second low bid unit price was $325,000.00.

DiPietro Jr., Director of Public Works Erica Quallen, Deputy Director of Capital Projects Cc: Jessie Baker, City Manager Date: October 3, 2022 Re: Resolution to Adopt School Zone Policy in Speed Limit Resolution and Establish a School Zone near the Chamberlin School on White Street Attached to this memo please find a proposed amendment to the City’s Resolution 2022-9, “A Resolution Establishing Speed Limits on Public Streets and Highways in the City of South Burlington”. Changes to the resolution are shown on page 3 of the attachment. The proposed amendment (R 2022-9A) involves the addition of a new Section F, which establishes school zones, and the changing of the current Section F to Section G. This is allowable by Vermont State Statute, 19 V.S.A. § 921, “Municipalities shall erect or cause to be erected on all public highways near a school warning signs conforming to the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as provided in 23 V.S.A. § 1025.” Proposed changes to the ordinance have been reviewed by the City’s internal legal counsel. School zones, once established, allow for a maximum speed limit less than that of the roadway and shall be applicable during the hours posted on the signage and/or when flashing beacons, if present, are flashing. The first school zone proposed in this ordinance is located on White Street in the vicinity of the Chamberlin Elementary School. This proposed school zone location comes as a recommendation from a memorandum developed by the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), as requested by the City’s Department of Public Works (DPW) after learning of speed, traffic, and pedestrian safety concerns along White Street during school pick-up 2 and drop-off hours. During their study, the CCRPC found that even though the posted speed limit is 25mph the 85th percentile speed measured was 34 mph in both the eastbound and westbound direction. Due to these speeding concerns, the recommendation was made to adopt an enforceable school zone with a reduced speed limit of 20 mph. Other recommendations were made including improved signage approaching the school, and restriping crosswalks. The memo from the CCRPC lays out all recommendations and is included as an attachment to this document. I recommend that council vote to approve the attached amendments to the “Resolution Establishing Speed Limits on Public Streets and Highways in the City of South Burlington” as shown in the attached draft. If council takes this action, the DPW will propose a project in the FY24 Capital Improvement Program to order and install the lights, signage, and hardware necessary to establish the school zone. Installation can take place sooner if council decides to provide the funding needed through another source. The equipment/hardware cost is approximately $13,000 and there will be a 2-3 month lead time. DPW staff will handle the labor associated with installation. Attachments: 1. R 2002-9A 2.

SOUTH BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL __________________________________ ________________________________ Helen Riehle, Chair Meaghan Emery, Vice-Chair __________________________________ ________________________________ Tim Barritt, Clerk Tom Chittenden __________________________________ Matt Cota 1 | P a g e TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM TO: Tom DiPetro, City of South Burlington FROM: Sai Kumar Sarepalli, P.E., CCRPC DATE: 09/12/2022 RE: Chamberlin School Zone Safety Analysis The City of South Burlington requested the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) staff to investigate and evaluate safety concerns of all road users along White Street near Chamberlin School. The school is located to the west of the White Street and Airport Parkway intersection. 1.Existing Conditions White Street is a paved road classified by the state as a Class II Town Highway and functionally classified as a Major Collector. The study area extends between the White Street and Airport Parkway intersection and Maplewood Drive encompassing the Chamberlin School premises (see Figure 1 below). The school parking lot access approach and White Street intersection is a Two-way STOP controlled T- intersection with a STOP sign on the school parking lot access approach. The White Street and Airport Pkwy intersection is a T-intersection with STOP control on all approaches. The posted speed limit along the street segment is 25 mph. The CCRPC staff installed an Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) near the school at the location shown in Figure 1 below to collect traffic volume and speed data. Data were collected between 06/27/2022 and 07/04/2022. Figure 1: Study Area and ATR Location 110 West Canal Street, Suite 202 Winooski, Vermont 05404-2109 802-846-4490 www.ccrpcvt.org 2 | P a g e Field Observations The CCRPC staff conducted a field reconnaissance survey on June 02, 2022, to observe traffic operation during students drop off and pick up times, and potential safety and sight distance issues. The following are some of the observations at the school. The student drop off/pick up areas are accessed through a driveway from White Street. The school parking lot access is approximately 350 ft from the all-way STOP at the White Street and Airport Pkwy intersection. Traffic from the school parking lot approach is controlled with a STOP sign at the White Street intersection. Crosswalks are located across the school’s driveway and White Street on the west side of the driveway. Pedestrian crossing signs supplemented with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are installed on either end of the crosswalk across White Street at the school driveway. There is a missing crosswalk across White Street on the west side of the Airport Pkwy intersection that could facilitate students that live southeast of the school on either Barber or Peterson Terrace for example. A crossing guard was present at the crosswalk in the morning and afternoon times controlling vehicle traffic for safety of pedestrians and students crossing White Street. School teachers were present in parking areas in front of the school building assisting smooth vehicle traffic flow during the drop off and pick up times. Vehicles exiting the school parking lot access have obstructed view to east due to overgrown vegetation. School signs (S1-1) were observed in both eastbound and westbound directions in the vicinity of the school. There are no End School Zone signs (S5-2) in the vicinity of the school. A worn-out SCHOOL pavement marking was observed on White Street at approximately 800 ft east and west of the school access. Traffic Volume and Speed Data Traffic volume and speed data (attached in the Appendix) were collected using an ATR on White Street from 06/27/2022 to 07/04/2022. Table 1 below shows a summary of speed data for White Street. Table 1: Speed Data on White Street near the School Speed Data Eastbound Westbound Average Speed 30 mph 30 mph 10 mph Pace Speed 25-34 mph 25-34 mph 85th Percentile Speed 34 mph 34 mph The 85th percentile traveling speed in both eastbound and westbound directions is higher than the posted speed of 25 mph in the study area. This indicates that a majority (85 percent) of motorists are driving at or below 34 mph in both eastbound and westbound directions. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) from the data collection period was observed as 5260 vehicles per day. 3 | P a g e Turning Movement Count The CCRPC staff conducted a turning movement count at the intersection of White Street and the School parking lot access during the school drop off time between 7:30 am and 8:30 am on 06/10/2022, and during pick up time between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm on 06/09/2022. Vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle data were collected. Tables 2 and 3 show the turning movement count during AM and PM time periods at the intersection of White Street and the School parking lot access, respectively. Table 2: Turning Movement Count in AM Table 3: Turning Movement Count in PM The turning movement count data during the drop-off and pick-up times indicate the peak time when traffic volume exiting the school parking lot driveway varies between 10 and 15 minutes (rows identified with blue color in Tables 2 and 3). During this time, a school crossing guard was deployed at the crosswalk directing pedestrians safely crossing the road while stopping the vehicular traffic. There were 2 students biking across White Street in the morning and 1 student in the afternoon at the school parking lot access intersection.

Chapter 7 of the MUTCD provides standards and guidelines for traffic control for school areas including guidelines on school traffic control plans, school route plans, school areas and school zones. Section 7B.09 of the MUTCD provides guidance and standards for installing school warning-signs to designate beginning and ending of a “School Zone”. The following are the standards for designating a school zone and signage: 1.If a school zone has been designated under State or local statute, a School (S1-1) sign shall be installed to identify the beginning point of the designated school zone. 2.A School Zone sign (S1-1) may be supplemented with a SCHOOL (S4-3P) plaque. 3.A School Zone sign (S1-1) may be supplemented with an ALL YEAR (S4-7P) plaque if the school operates on a 12-month schedule. 4.The downstream end of a designated school zone may be identified with an END SCHOOL ZONE (S5-2) sign. 5.If a school zone is located on a cross street in close proximity to the intersection, a School Zone (S1-1) sign with a supplemental arrow (W16-5P or W16-6P) plaque may be installed on each approach of the street or highway to warn road users making a turn onto the cross street that they will encounter a school zone soon after making the turn Section 7B.15 of the MUTCD provides guidance and installation standards for School Speed Limit signage and Section 7B.16 provides guidance for Reduced School Speed Limit. The following is the excerpt from the MUTCD for installing School Speed Limit signage: “A School Speed Limit assembly or a School Speed Limit (S5-1) sign shall be used to indicate the speed limit where a reduced school speed limit zone has been established based upon an engineering study or where a reduced school speed limit is specified for such areas by statute. The School Speed Limit assembly or School Speed Limit sign shall be placed at or as near as practical to the point where the reduced school speed limit zone begins.” School Zone Speed Limit Violation According to the Vermont Statutes, 23 V.S.A. § 1017,“Notwithstanding the maximum penalty established in subsection 2302(c) of this title and the waiver penalties established pursuant to 4 V.S.A. § 1102(d), the civil penalty for violating a State or municipal speed limit in a school zone designated with signs in accordance with 19 V.S.A. § 921 shall be twice the penalty for a non-school zone speed limit violation.” 5 | P a g e 3.Crash History There were 2 property damage only crashes reported in the vicinity of the school driveway in the last 6 years, from May 2016 to August 2022. The following table shows details of two crashes. Table 2: Property Damage Only Crashes History Source: Vermont Public Crash Data Query Tool No information is available on contributing factors for the two reported crashes. Based on available information and collision type, it can be assumed that crashes might have occurred due to driver negligence and behavior. 4.Findings and Recommendations Chamberlin School is situated in proximity of a public roadway, White Street, maintained by the City of South Burlington. As observed from the traffic volume and speed data collection, vehicular operating speeds are much higher than the posted speed limit in both directions. Based on the field observations, traffic speed and in accordance with the Vermont Statute, 19 V.S.A. § 921, it is recommended to designate the study area as a “School Zone” with a reduced speed limit of 20 mph. The reduced speed limit will be applicable and enforceable only during the students’ drop-off and pick- up hours. A designated school zone signage plan is provided with this study for implementation. There is a potential of improving traffic operation conditions at the White Street and school parking lot access intersection by restricting left-turning movement from the school access approach during the drop-off and pick-up times. The following are recommendations to enhance safety of all road users within the study area: 1.Install “School Speed Limit 20 mph” sign, S5-1, supplemented with yellow flashing lights on White Street at approximate locations shown in the layout. These sign locations identify the beginning of the designated school zone. 2.Install “End School Zone” signs, S5-2, on White Street at locations shown in the school zone signage plan. These signs are used to inform road users where the designated school zone ends. 3.Remove or clear low hanging tree branches and vegetation on the northeast corner property to improve clear view for vehicles and pedestrians exiting the school parking lot access. See Figure 2 below. 4.Remove the existing worn-out SCHOOL pavement marking on White Street and install a new SCHOOL pavement marking at approximate locations shown in the layout. See Figure 3 below. 5.Replace old worn-out speed signs in the study area with new MUTCD compliance signs. See Figure 4 below. 6.Continue deploying a crossing guard at the crosswalk for safety of students and parents using the crosswalk. 7.Should the duration or magnitude of vehicle traffic congestion increase or become unmanageable in the school parking lot, consider a pilot study deploying a uniform traffic Crash Date Collision Direction Weather Report Number Reporting Agency Time of Day Road Characteristics Surface Condition February 1, 2018 at 7:56 AM Left Turn and Thru, Angle Broadside -->v--Cloudy 18SB001295 So.

Inform parents through the school newsletters, parent-teacher meetings, school events and explain the traffic pattern within the school premises when exiting the school parking lot access. Depending on the feedback and success of pilot study a permanent explicit left turn restriction sign (R3-2), see Figure 5 below for a sample sign, can be installed at the parking lot exit. 8.According to the MUTCD guidance, “beginning point of a reduced school speed limit zone should be at least 200 ft in advance of the school grounds, a school crossing, or other school related activities”. 9.Install “School” signs, S1-1, supplemented with arrow plaques on Airport Parkway at approximate location shown in the layout. The purpose of this sign is to warn drivers making a turn onto the cross street that they are entering a designated school zone. 10.The signage locations are shown approximately in the layout plan. Actual signage locations should be verified in the field upon completion of a field survey.

Councilor Chittenden suggested, and others supported, an edit to the Ordinance to allow for a two-year waiver period from the service water heating requirements for multi-family and large commercial new buildings. The draft for your consideration attempts to incorporate those changes as well as a few other minor edits. The changes as they appear in the Ordinance are as follows: 1) Section II(d)(i)&(ii): A comment has been added to suggest that you consider extending the original proposed applicability date of January 1, 2023 to a date that is approximately three (3) months after passage in order to provide adequate time for the community to prepare for its implementation. 2) Section II(h): definition of multi-family has been amended to be as defined by the CBES unless and until the MFBES is implemented and applicable. Our review has identified that the CBES provides the best definition at this time, however, we understand that the MFBES will be implemented in about a year and it is expected that this code will likely provide the most applicable definition. 3) Section IV, Second Paragraph: New language was added to incorporate the 2-year waiver period suggested by Councilor Chittenden. Waiver period dates are currently left blank and will be filled in upon a determination of the question posed in #1, above. 4) Multi-Family and Large Commercial: With regards to the new language added to Section IV, we were able to find an adequate definition of “multi-family” in the CBES, however, we were unable to find a satisfactory definition of “large” commercial. We additionally noted that “industrial” new buildings were not included in the suggested 2-year waiver. Therefore, in the proposed draft language, we incorporated the definition of “multi-family” included in the CBES, added “industrial” new buildings to the 2-year waiver, and eliminated the requirement for “large” commercial. The result of the elimination of the word “large” is that all commercial and industrial new buildings, regardless of size, will be exempt from the Ordinance’s service water heating system requirements for a period of two years. Following your consideration of this draft, you may either accept the Ordinance and schedule a public hearing or continue to consider comments and deliberate and set a public hearing at a future date.

Severability If any portion of this Ordinance is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such finding shall not invalidate any other part of this Ordinance. VGS Technical Review: Updated Ordinance Relating to Renewable Heating and Service Hot Water Systems Will the revised ordinance draft clarify if building projects that have already obtained all necessary permits and are approved for construction prior to the effective date are allowed to proceed under existing ordinance and code? • VGS has reviewed approved and pending South Burlington projects and believes this is an important policy design consideration. Projects should be allowed to proceed as designed if they have achieved approval prior to the ordinance taking effect. This will serve to ensure these pending projects are not slowed, halted, or subject to extensive redesign at potentially great expense. Is two years the length to delay the Service Water Heating requirements for certain types of buildings, and does that timeline reflect the feasibility issues we and others have flagged? • Is delaying the effective date by two years (January 1, 2025) for Service Water Heating for certain building types the only proposal under consideration? This is a consequential part of the ordinance that warrants study. An analysis should be conducted to confirm any delayed timeline reflects the pace of technological change needed to serve challenging buildings’ water heating needs. What building types will be defined for the delayed Service Water Heating implementation date? • There appears to be interest in delaying the effective date of the Service Water Heating ordinance for certain building types, with discussion of applying this date to multi-family buildings and potentially large commercial buildings. Would this later implementation date apply to all buildings, or only certain types of buildings? If so, what buildings will be included in this category and what reason justifies their inclusion and not another class of buildings that may face similar, near-term or mid-term technical limitations? Assuming a delayed implementation for the Service Water Heating requirements is only for certain building types, has the Council considered the feasibility of a developer and/or VGS exclusively servicing the water needs of these developments? • If you look at the sources of load across VGS customer types (residential, commercial, and industrial), space heating consumes the most energy. Water heating constitutes a fraction of the total heating need. Load size directly correlates to the economics of a prospective customer receiving service from VGS. Even with a multi-year delay to the Service Water Requirements, the ordinance may have the effect of eliminating the only technically and financially viable water heating option for certain types of buildings in many parts of South Burlington. If a building’s ventilation system is not “primary heating” and meets Vermont CBES requirements, would fuels that do not meet the renewable definition be able to serve ventilation needs? • The definition of “Primary Heating System” should be separate from ventilation systems that operate under varying requirements. Commercial-based ventilation systems require varying energy needs based on the end use environment they are in, and residential ventilation systems become more technical and costly as multi-family buildings get bigger and tighter. Would ventilation systems fall under the ordinance? We believe ventilation systems should not be part of the primary load for the purpose of this ordinance. Instead, use CBES and ASHRAE for clear, established goals to set the criteria for Make Up Air Systems, Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems, and packaged Roof Top Units, which all provide supplemental heat via tempered ventilation air based on variable needs within the building. Has the Council considered the estimated costs and complexity for a property owner to develop a lifecycle analysis to submit for a potential exemption? • If a developer seeks an exemption from the ordinance, what will the City’s review process entail? What level of detail and factors will the lifecycle analysis require? We have flagged general affordability concerns. Conducting the required analysis to seek a waiver could be a costly barrier to development for certain buildings that have few other options. Has the Council heard from commercial and industrial stakeholders whose future buildings would be subject to the ordinance? • We were heartened to hear many perspectives provided during the September 19 public comment hearing. However, we noted that few commercial and industrial stakeholders (whether large or small) participated in the public hearing. Given the technical limitations and affordability concerns we’ve flagged, and others have echoed, does the Council feel it has adequate input on the space and service water heating needs of businesses considering occupying new buildings in South Burlington? Also, is the ordinance exclusively targeted to new construction or would it also apply to a fit-up of an existing space within a developed property? 180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov MEMORANDUM TO: Jessie Baker, City Manager; South Burlington City Council FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning and Zoning SUBJECT: Climate Action Plan Update DATE: October 3, 2022 City Council meeting Enclosed with your packet please find a slightly revised version of the Draft Climate Action Plan presented to the Council at your last meeting by the Climate Action Plan Task Force. This memo outlines these revisions, provides an additional steps for Council consideration, and provides a summary of the public outreach undertaken during the preparation of the Climate Action Plan. Plan Updates: The updates include a handful of cosmetic and minor edits, and one proposed change regarding the description of the Airport. They are: • Layout and graphic design. As discussed at the last meeting, the City’s consultant was in the process of preparing the layout and design of the Plan to be easier to read for all users. • Updated statement on buildings having weatherization upgrades on page 10. • Revised graphic on page 22, to add a scaled “x”-axis for years to match the graphic provided in the 9/19 presentation. • Staff has also communicated with CCRPC staff and recommends removal of the “Leaders” column from Appendix C (actions). The working draft had initially attempted to assign an entity within the City responsible for leading the work. The final draft, however, had mostly blank areas and the only categories completed with assigned to City Manager, City Council, or City Attorney (which would be City Manager). Staff considers that assignment of the work can be vetted and completed during the Implementation Plan phase of the work. With Council’s concurrence this would be removed in the final draft (It is a complex graphic to edit and so CCRPC staff asked to make the change in the final version only). • Replacement of text regarding Burlington International Airport. Task Force members, our consultant, and residents identified that the present text is not an entirely accurate / clear, description of the relationship between the South Burlington Climate Action Plan and the Burlington International Airport, nor the relationship between their sustainability work and the Burlington Climate Action Plan. Staff has conferred with staff from both Burlington Electric (where the City’s Sustainability Officer resides) and the Director of Aviation at the Airport. 2 The Airport is in the process of developing a Sustainability Master Plan with the firm VHB. That Plan will include an inventory and assessment of emissions from the various sources residing at the Airport, and an action plan for reducing emissions throughout their operations. With this understanding, staff recommends the following change be made to the Plan. Staff discussed this proposed approach with the Climate Action Plan Task Force at their meeting on 9/28 and they expressed concurrence Current text: The baseline inventory represents residential, commercial/industrial, and on-road transportation energy consumption along with the associated GHG emissions for the Year 2019 data to avoid capturing pandemic related data fluctuations. The heating of buildings accounts for about 34% of South Burlington’s greenhouse gas emissions, on-road transportation accounts for 65%, and 1% of emissions are caused by waste and agriculture. While the City of South Burlington does have an international airport within its borders, aviation emissions and ground transportation emissions associated with the airport are not considered in the inventory because the City does not have the authority over the airport. The aviation and military activities that occur at the airport are under the jurisdiction of the City of Burlington, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Air National Guard. These entities have their own climate action plans. The City of Burlington is working with a consultant to include airport related emissions in their plan.

These entities have their own climate action plans. The City of Burlington is working with a consultant to include airport related emissions in their plan. The inventory does not explicitly account for specialized on-site vehicles and motor equipment such as forklifts or ground vehicles in support of airport operations. Further, the inventory does not account for aviation emissions, nor are there targets or actions associated with this source. In a parallel effort, the Burlington International Airport (BTV), supported by its consultant Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., is completing a Sustainability Management Plan that will enable the Airport to better understand its existing performance in the areas of energy, water, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions. This Plan will continue to document and report on the sustainability strategies the Airport is currently undertaking (building off its Sustainability Brochure, completed as part of its most recent update to its Master Plan), and develop goals and performance targets. BTV is keenly interested in identifying strategies, particularly high impact, early actions, that it can implement to enable achievement of its sustainability goals and targets. In support of this assessment, BTV will be developing a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, with a focus on the Airport’s scope 1 emissions (direct, Airport-controlled) and scope 2 emissions 3 (indirect, purchased electricity). The Airport’s scope 3 emissions (indirect, controlled by others) will also be addressed to the extent data is readily available. The greenhouse gas emissions inventory will be prepared using the Airport Carbon and Emissions Reporting Tool (ACERT). This Plan acknowledges this parallel effort and supports actions to account for and reduce the Airport’s carbon footprint. Optional additional consideration: Understanding that the Airport is a significant entity in our region and that its carbon reduction work is consistent with the efforts of the City of South Burlington in developing its Climate Action Plan, the Council could take the additional step of adopting a resolution in support of the preparation and implementation of the Airport’s Sustainability Master Plan. If Council is so inclined it could direct the City Manager to prepare such a resolution for an upcoming meeting. Summary of Task Force Community Involvement efforts This past week, the Climate Action Plan Task Force’s meeting included a recap of the presentation from 9/29. Some members of the public attended and shared some additional thoughts on the Plan. Councilor Riehle, liaison to the Task Force, offered to share their feedback with the Council. The Task Force asked staff, as an accompaniment, to outline the community involvement steps associated with their work over the past 10 months. • The Task Force held 17 meetings, each with an in-person and remote option and warned alongside all committee meetings in the City, and with opportunities for the public to participate • Maintenance of a Climate Action Plan page on the City’s website • Regular updates via the City News newsletter • Solicitation of public comment period on the draft Plan, announced via the City News newsletter • A Climate Action Plan online poll (with ~173 responses received) • A special “Community Listening” session held at City Hall (and online) • In-person tabling at events through the summer, including SoBu Night Out by members of the Task Force and Energy Committee, with a printed brochure on the Plan • Consultation, by the CCRPC, with partner organizations on technical and policy matters • Regular updates to the City’s standing committees from each of the Task Force members (each who were appointed from a City standing committee) Prepared by:Chittenden County Regional Planning CommissionSouth Burlington's Climate Action Plan Task Forcefor:Draft: September 26, 2022 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSClimate Action Plan Task ForceCity of South Burlington StaffChittenden County Regional Planning CommissionICLEI AdvisorsEthan Goldman, ChairSriram SrinivasanDarrilyn PetersAndrew Chalnick, Vice ChairDonna LebanHelen RiehleMichael MittagBill WargoPaul Conner Energy CommitteeEconomic Development CommitteeAffordable Housing CommitteePlanning CommissionBicycle/Pedestrian CommitteeCity Council Liaison (non-voting)Planning CommissionNatural Resources & Conservation CommitteeDirector of Planning and Zoning (non-voting)Paul Conner Director of Planning and ZoningMelanie NeedleAnn JandaEmma Vaughn Senior PlannerSenior Energy Project PlannerCommunications ManagerTom HerrodEli Yewdall Senior Program OfficerSenior Program OfficerThank you to the hundreds of community members who provided input!

Any further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all.”SPRING WINTER ANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAIR TEMPERATURESAveragehave increased2°4°in summer in winter now arrives two weeks earlier starts one week later in Vermont has increased by almost 7 inchesDays with more than 1 inch of rain occur almost twice as often as they did 50 years ago.- Co-Chair Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) Working Group II*Source: Vermont Department of Health website PAGE | 1 92 bird species of Vermont, including the common loon and hermit thrush, are expected to disappear from the landscape within the next 25 years.Climate change exacerbates the threatsthat invasive plants, insects, and diseases already pose to the health of Vermont’s forests.Climate change will have a negative impact on fruit-bearing species like apple trees that require a sufficient over-wintering period for success in the next growing season. The maple syrup industry is also at risk due to variations in winter temperatures.InVermont:Flooding is the most likely natural disaster to occur in Vermont; however, extremes will become more common, such as drought. Additionally, more precipitation damages roads and property and increases runoff creating favorable conditions for cyanobacteria blooms which are harmful to human health.Impacts could affect the quality and safety of food and water, which could lead to increases in food and water-borne illnesses.Impacts could contribute to mental health challenges.Children, people over 65 years of age, people of low socioeconomic status, Indigenous people, or people with previous health issues are more vulnerable to the health effects of climate change.In 2017, Vermont had the highest rate of reported confirmed and probable Lyme disease cases in the U.S. 1,093 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Health Department in 2017, the highest annual count ever recorded in Vermont. In the early 1990s, the Health Department received a dozen or fewer confirmed reports of the illness each year. Increases in natural disasters in Vermont will likely increase the risk of injury, illness, and death.Sources: Vermont Climate Assessment, 2021 & Vermont Department of Health, Climate Change in Vermont11Vermont Health Department, 2017 Report, Vermont Tickborne Disease Program PAGE | 2 Acting Now Can Limit Warming to 1.5°CGlobal warming is likely to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052. This rate of warming is likely to increase risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security, and economic growth. Extreme heat, floods, and drought will likely result, as well.

Dependence on fossil fuels is responsible for almost all South Burlington’s emissions.Electricity in Vermont is now markedly cleaner than in the past due to the state’s creation of a Renewable Energy Standard (RES) in 2017. Green Mountain Power (GMP) is now 100% carbon free.Our Leadership MattersSouth Burlington has an opportunity to reduce its climate pollution from building heating and transportation by transitioning to carbon-free energy sources, like electricity, and by making it easier to walk or take transit through changes in development and transportation infrastructure. Additionally, nature-based solutions such as protecting and adding trees, maintaining and enhancing natural areas, and installing green infrastructure will increase carbon sequestration and reduce risks from extreme heat and precipitation. In 2021, South Burlington’s Climate Action Plan Task Force (CAPTF) was directed by the City Council to produce a Climate Action Plan for the City of South Burlington. The CAPTF identified high impact actions to significantly reduce South Burlington’s share of Vermont’s GHG emissions (in line with the Paris International Treaty on Climate Change and Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act). The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission was hired as the consultant to provide a GHG inventory and support the drafting of the plan. The CAPTF recognizes the tension between the natural areas/agricultural actions and the buildings/thermal and transportation/land use actions being considered in this plan. On one extreme, recommending no growth would limit direct emissions, but may cause an increase in transportation emissions from people traveling to South Burlington for work and services. One way that the plan attempts to resolve this tension is by recommending dense development in areas with easy access to walking/biking and services, with conservation of our remaining natural resource areas. Given that transportation emissions are the biggest contributor to climate change, consideration should be given to the actions in this plan which most directly reduce transportation emissions for South Burlington and the surrounding region.To meet our climate goals, we need to reduce emissions 60% by 2030 and 95% by 2050.Figure 4Figure 5 PAGE | 6South Burlington2019 and 2030 Target Emissions, Metric Tons Co22019203020192030BuildingsTransportation140,000120,000100,00080,00060,00040,00020,0000South Burlington 2019 GHG Emissions by SectorResidential Buildings (16%)Commercial Buildings (18%)Transportation (65%)Other (1%) The business-as-usual scenario represents no climate action taken and creates a projection of emission trends based on anticipated demographic and economic changes in South Burlington. The SBT scenario combines the business-as-usual forecast with the emission reduction goal of a 60% reduction in emissions from 2019 and various actions for meeting the reduction goal. The SBT scenario enabled the CAPTF to understand the degree of implementation of actions needed to electrify buildings and vehicles, weatherize buildings, and reduce vehicle miles traveled to reduce emissions. Table 1 lists the targets that need to be achieved to reduce emissions. The necessary actions for achieving these targets are listed in subsequent sections on each sector.It is evident that the actions and targets needed to achieve a reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 are ambitious. Therefore, it will take the commitment of City government, residents, and businesses to see themselves as part of the solution to make the necessary changes in travel behavior, heating, energy generation, and land use to reduce fossil fuel energy use and become more resilient to a changing climate. New, efficient heat pump technology, advancements in electric vehicles and small engines, and financial incentives/support make this transition more economical than ever. However, creativity and flexibility will be needed to ensure that those burdened by the cost of the energy transformation are not further exacerbated. Efforts should be made so that impacted communities are considered in the implementation phases of climate action planning that will come subsequent to this plan being finalized.2030 Buildings and Thermal TargetsWeatherize:2030 Transportation/Land Use Targets600 existing homes annually to reduce emissions 5%Electrify:8% of existing commercial/industrial square footage annually to reduce emissions by 17%360 existing housing units annually to reduce emissions by 9%New homes and businesses to be carbon free to reduce emissions by 4%Replace 75% of gas vehicles with all electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles to reduce emissions by 42%Reduce vehicle miles traveled by 2.5% annually to reduce emissions by 19%Plan for compact high-density (greater than 12.5 dwelling units per acre) new housing development to reduce emissions by 4%The baseline inventory represents residential, commercial/industrial, and on-road transportation energy consumption along with the associated GHG emissions for the Year 2019 data to avoid capturing pandemic related data fluctuations. The heating of buildings accounts for about 34% of South Burlington’s greenhouse gas emissions, on-road transportation accounts for 65%, and 1% of emissions are caused by waste and agriculture. While the City of South Burlington does have an international airport within its borders, aviation emissions and ground transportation emissions associated with the airport are not considered in the inventory because the City does not have the authority over the airport. The aviation and military activities that occur at the airport are under the jurisdiction of the City of Burlington, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Air National Guard. These entities have their own climate action plans. The City of Burlington is working with a consultant to include airport related emissions in their plan.This Climate Action Plan lays out a strategy to meet these climate goals. The strategy is presented in terms of targets, high impact actions, and supporting actions divided among various sectors: buildings/thermal, transportation/land use, city government operations, natural areas/adaptation/resilience, and small engines/waste/agriculture. The high impact actions chosen for meeting the climate goals are informed by modeling with ICLEI's ClearPath Tool. The inclusion of ClearPath modeling creates a data-driven decision-making approach in planning and implementing climate change actions for the City. ClearPath was used to model a baseline inventory of GHG emissions, a business-as-usual forecast, and science-based target (SBT) scenario. 2030 Targets and Actions PAGE | 7Table 1 Buildings and Thermal SectorAs policies are being implemented, consider how people with low incomes, disabilities, older Vermonters, and renters may struggle to afford weatherization and electrification and ensure that policies do not increase challenges.Renewable Energy SectorImpacted populations may not be able to participate in renewable energy due to cost or because they live in multi-family housing. Policies should be developed to ensure impacted populations have access to the benefits of renewable energy through community net-metering or other programs.According to the State of Vermont Climate Council’s Guiding Principles for a Just Transition, “Studies continue to show that low-income communities, Indigenous peoples, and Black and other communities of color are among those who are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.” Impacted populations also include older, and chronically ill Vermonters. People with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. For more information on building equity into climate change actions and a list of populations vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, see the State of Vermont Climate Council's Guiding Principles for a Just Transition.Equity RecommendationsTo ensure equity considerations and accommodations are made, the CAPTF recommends that the City commit to engage impacted populations in the community on the CAP actions (see impacted populations section for further information). This engagement would include participation from people vulnerable to climate change impacts, community organizations that connect to specific communities and representation from the CAPTF to assess impacts specific to suggested pathways for each sector. Throughout this climate action plan, qualitative equity ranking has been assigned to high priority and supporting actions in each sector. However, impacted populations were not consulted in developing these actions. Because it is critical to ensure that targeted policies, promotions, and investments do not end up harming people who can least afford or adapt to them, and to make sure people are not left out of the positive benefits, the CAPTF recommends that priority funding and policies consider those who are most susceptible to climate change impacts first. Other cities have used this type of engagement to further enhance initial recommendations in the subsequent implementation phases of the plan. This work needs to be adequately resourced to identify an inclusive implementation plan for each sector.Equity in Addressing Climate ChangeClimate change policies burden renters, people living in multi-unit housing, lower income and fixed income households, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and senior citizens. The risk of inequity arising due to unforeseen burdens, as well as the opportunity for positive benefits or co-benefits from a target policy are key components of equity considerations. As South Burlington climate action plan policies are considered and implemented, it is important to ask the questions below to empower more inclusive decision-making:Things to consider from the State of Vermont Climate Council's Guiding Principles for a Just Transition:All recommendations directly identify and support relevant impacted and frontline communities. Future climate goals must be broad for the well-being of all Vermonters and include targeted strategies for different groups that take into account their specific histories, sociocultural and economic realities. Investments, policies, administration, and oversight tackle the needs of impacted people first, providing the greatest benefits of transitions to these communities. Where plans and policies create burdens, these burdens are shifted away from impacted communities.Who is helped?Who is missing?Who is harmed?Transportation/Land Use SectorAs policies are being implemented, consider how people with low incomes, disabilities, older Vermonters, and renters may struggle to afford electric vehicles, bikes, or charging equipment and ensure programs and support are equitably available for reducing transportation emissions. Ensure equitable access to housing throughout the City in a manner that encourages walking/biking and transit use.Natural Areas SectorConsiderations of the historical context and current conditions associated with systemic racism and environmental injustices, and how these relate to the natural environment, should be made as policies are implemented. This includes ensuring fair access to natural areas for all to enjoy.PAGE | 8 Renewable energyCarbon free heating and electrificationEV transitionCompact development and driving less Government operationsNatural areas, adaptation and resilienceWaste, agriculture, small enginesHigh Impact Actions Supporting ActionsA climate action plan is a framework for measuring and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related climatic impacts.

Transportation and buildings are always the highest emitting sectors and therefore will need aggressive changes for reducing emissions. In the following pages, each sector includes analysis of South Burlington’s greenhouse gas emissions in that sector, a 2030 science-based target (SBT) to lower those emissions, and either high impact or supporting actions to achieve this change.High impact actions are the most effective at reducing emissions at the scale and pace necessary to meet the City’s fair share of emissions reductions in accordance with the Paris International Treaty on Climate Change and Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act. High impact actions are either policy or investment oriented and produce a measurable reduction in GHG emissions. Supporting actions are educational, promotional, and are not always quantifiable. Supporting actions tend to also be critically important for minimizing risks from increased precipitation, heat waves, and other climate change consequences. Below is a high-level overview of the high impact and supporting actions included in this plan. For more detailed information about the actions, see the sections on specific sectors on the following pages.PAGE | 9EQUITY Buildings and Thermal 34% of Emissions*The thermal heating of buildings accounts for about 34% of South Burlington’s greenhouse gas emissions.High-Impact Actions2030 TargetsWeatherize:600 existing homes annually to reduce emissions by 5%Electrify:8% of existing commercial/industrial square footage annually to reduce emissions by 17%360 existing housing units annually to reduce emissions by 9%New homes and businesses to be carbon free to reduce emissions by 4%Since 2019VISION: South Burlington will weatherize and electrify existing buildings, and new construction will be net zero and fossil fuel free by 2030.Become a 2030 District, a public-private partnership, to encourage commercial buildings to benchmark energy use and set reduction targets.Develop an energy efficiency ordinance for high energy use buildings similar to Burlington's Minimum Housing Code Weatherization Ordinance.Develop a preferential tax rate for highly efficient buildings that are not using fossil fuel.Advocate for a state-wide Clean Heat Standard for heating fuels.Prohibit fossil fueled thermal in new buildings.Propose charter change to regulate fossil fueled thermal in existing buildings. Adopt net zero energy building code for new construction.Adopt building code and hire code inspector to ensure energy code compliance.High-Impact Actions****See Appendix C for additional actions that can help reduce emissions.200 heat pumps per year have been installed in South Burlington buildings.183 homes in total have received weatherization upgrades from VGS, Efficiency VT, Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, or BTV Noise Mitigation Plan.Go to vtenergydashboard.com/statistics for current totals and more historical information.Figure 6 PAGE | 10*As of base year 2019 sources such as heat pumps. Policies should also focus on efficiency measures (weatherizaƟon), such as insu-laƟon, windows, and air sealing to reduce energy use and make electrificaƟon more affordable. Some level of weatherizaƟon will occur in the City via the FAA sound insulaƟon program. However, prioriƟzing electrificaƟon, reg-ulaƟng fossil-fuel-based energy use, and decreasing embodied carbon in new con-strucƟon and exisƟng buildings will have the highest impact on building emissions. There is a natural sequencing of acƟons presented in this Plan. IncenƟves, such as the 2030 District program and a prefer-enƟal tax rate, precede requirements, but the ordering is subject to change (for In 2019, 34% of the South Burlington’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were generated from buildings, the majority from natural gas. Building emissions are primarily generated for space heaƟng, water heaƟng, and cooking. Electricity from Green Mountain Power is now 100% carbon free. This means that lighƟng and electric appliances are not contribuƟng to South Burlington’s GHG emissions and reducƟons can be met via the electrificaƟon of thermal processes. VGS also plans to increase renewable natural gas by 20% by 2030. To reach South Burlington’s emissions reducƟons goals in buildings by 2030, all newly constructed buildings will need heaƟng from fossil fuel-free energy example, funding availability, staff ca-pacity, and poliƟcal will). The City will need to establish programs, policies, and building codes to achieve outcomes that successfully reach its emissions reducƟon targets for buildings. Requirements are needed because some acƟviƟes—such as conƟnued use of nat-ural gas—will likely prevent the City from reaching its GHG reducƟon goals. The modeling shows several paths to reaching goals, and not reaching targets in one sector necessitate higher targets in other sectors. The City may also need to help building owners overcome barriers associated with certain requirements, such as the retrofiƫng of exisƟng buildings for elec-trificaƟon efforts. Increased demand for more efficient new buildings and build-ing retrofit projects will require special-ized job training to support the transi-Ɵon to low-carbon, resilient buildings. High impact building acƟons are out-lined below. The full set of buildings and thermal acƟons is included in Ap-pendix C. As policies are being developed, con-sider how people with low incomes, disabiliƟes, and older Vermonters may struggle to afford weatherizaƟon and electrificaƟon and ensure that policies do not increase challenges.

This is 2% of all registered vehicles.Reduce Vehicle Miles TraveledElectric Vehicle AdoptionFigure 7 PAGE | 12*As of base year 2019 the appropriate number of electric vehi‐cle charging staƟons installed at the Ɵme of construcƟon. The City can make an addiƟonal impact by developing incenƟves for commercial buildings to install EV charging. Research shows that most EV charging happens at home or at work. To achieve the City’s GHG reducƟon goals, a reducƟon of vehicle miles trav‐eled (VMT) of 2.5% annually is also nec‐essary. This can only be achieved through strong policy and investment programs developed by the City. This includes some method of increasing teleworking by at least 50%, building homes in a com‐pact dense paƩern to encourage smaller homes with lower heaƟng and cooling In 2019, 65% of the South Burlington’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were generated from transportaƟon. To meet the City’s GHG reducƟon goal, 75% of private and public vehicles regis‐tered in the City will need to be all elec‐tric (EVs) or plug‐in hybrids by 2030. Modeling indicates that at least half of vehicles should be all electric and the remainder should be plug‐in hybrid EVs. AddiƟonally, transportaƟon emissions will be reduced somewhat due to im‐provements in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards. To achieve this goal, the first priority is to ensure that buildings have 200‐amp ser‐vice to support EV charging at home. AddiƟonally, new buildings should have needs, increasing biking and walking for local trips, and invesƟng in public trans‐portaƟon to improve routes and fre‐quencies. However, changes to land use policies, transit services, and bike/pedestrian infrastructure and programs all have a long lead Ɵme. Meanwhile, a strong push for vehicle electrificaƟon will have the greatest impact. The City will need to provide programs and resources, such as educaƟonal cam‐paigns and financial incenƟves to busi‐nesses to support EV adopƟon. Accessi‐ble EV charging infrastructure is needed to enable widespread EV adopƟon and should be a priority. High impact transportaƟon acƟons are outlined below.

As policies are being developed, con‐sider how people with low incomes, disabiliƟes, and older Vermonters may struggle with necessary transportaƟon and ensure that policies do not in‐crease challenges. Impacted popula‐Ɵons may not be able to afford electric vehicles, bikes, or charging hardware and need access to programs and sup‐port for reducing transportaƟon emis‐sions.

All renewable energy acƟons are outlined below. Impacted populaƟons may not be able to parƟcipate in the benefits of renewable energy due to cost or because they live in mulƟ-family housing. Policies should be developed to ensure impacted popula-Ɵons have access to the benefits of renew-able energy through community net-metering or other programs. Although it will not lower greenhouse gas emissions, the City has renewable energy targets set by the State to help Vermont increase its renewable energy. To meet its targets, renewable energy generaƟon needs to increase by 3 to 5 Ɵmes the amount of current generaƟon sited in the City. However, as of the draŌing of this climate acƟon plan, Green Mountain Power is currently limiƟng new large scale net me-tering projects in South Burlington due to electricity grid capacity constraints.

Between 2001 and 2019, the City lost 206 acres of forest land to seƩlement. It is important for the City to prioriƟze retenƟon of forests because any loss of these major carbon sinks will add quan-Ɵfiable carbon to the atmosphere. Se-questraƟon can be further enhanced by reducing lawn turf and increasing naƟve trees and complementary naƟve planƟngs. NaƟve plants encourage na-Ɵve animal and insect species to con-Ɵnue to thrive, which increases the health of trees and all living systems. It will be essenƟal to conduct detailed assessments of exisƟng systems in or-der to set meaningful and measurable goals for maintaining and increasing The City’s climate change goals cannot be accomplished through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reducƟon alone. The State of Vermont’s Climate AcƟon Plan contemplates a carbon “budget” and so should South Burlington’s plan. Carbon sequestraƟon captures and stores carbon dioxide from the atmos-phere. Carbon sequestraƟon levels must be maintained through the reten-Ɵon and expansion of nature-based systems, especially forests and wet-lands due to their carbon sequestra-Ɵon. (See the State of Vermont Climate AcƟon Plan, 2021 Carbon Budget, to see which land sectors provide seques-traƟon of carbon and those that emit carbon.) As of 2019, 17.6% of South Burlington’s land cover was forest land carbon sequestraƟon. Carbon sequestraƟon is only one im-portant benefit of conserving natural ecosystems. Natural ecosystems im-prove air and water quality, reduce impacts from the urban heat-island effect, improve stormwater manage-ment, enhance flood hazard manage-ment, enhance food security, and pro-vide criƟcal areas for bio-diversity in the face of a changing climate. Resilience to the impacts of climate change including extreme heat and increased precipitaƟon and flooding also requires implementaƟon of green and green-blue infrastructure and so-phisƟcated stormwater pracƟces. Compared to other strategies, protec-Ɵve environmental pracƟces have relaƟvely low capital cost to imple-ment and also increase the health, well-being, and prosperity of all living beings in communiƟes.

The proposed acƟons below suggest benchmarking current energy uses and energy sources and then developing poli-cies and procedures that can be imple-mented to reach the City’s greenhouse gas reducƟons goals through green prac-Ɵces, renewable energy, and electrifica-Ɵon soluƟons. The City has already made much progress in this direcƟon. In 2019, the City hired a part Ɵme Energy Manager who oversees energy projects and created an Energy Project Reserve Fund to pay for internal projects. The fund’s income comes from the solar array on the former landfill in South Burlington and projects pay the fund back via energy savings. Energy usage has been monitored for The City as an enƟty should lead by ex-ample in their efforts to decarbonize their operaƟons. As seen in the pie charts on the previous page, the public works department con-tributes most of the emissions in the gov-ernment operaƟons sector. Second to the public works department is the police department. Both of these departments include vehicles that use gasoline and diesel. These fuel types contribute to a majority of the emissions. Therefore it is important for the City to plan for and budget for replacement of these vehi-cles with zero emission opƟons as the technology becomes available. AddiƟon-ally, one third of the natural gas used by Public Works is used in the processing high quality solid waste. Any known al-ternaƟve to this process would increase many years, and since 2019, all energy usage has been recorded on a monthly basis in terms of usage and cost. In an effort to decarbonize its opera-Ɵons, the City began converƟng all City owned lights to LED, a project that is virtually complete in 2022. This included street and traffic lights as well as lighƟng for buildings. Many energy audits of the various build-ings have been conducted leading to a variety of energy reducƟon projects and this process conƟnues. The electrificaƟon of the City vehicle fleet started years ago with a single hy-brid car. Four hybrid police vehicles are planned for 2022 and the South Burling-ton School District will have four electric school buses delivered this year. The City also purchased small baƩery powered landscaping equipment such as weed whackers and chain saws. In 2021 a new City Hall and Library was completed to LEED standard. This new building uƟlizes a geothermal heat pump and solar panels on the roof. In addiƟon, the upgrading of the Bart-leƩ Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant, now being designed, will have energy conservaƟon as a major design criteria.

The City can support further decarboniza‐Ɵon through curtailing or banning the use of fossil fueled small engines for lawns and gardens.

Therefore, South Burlington’s emission reduction goal is to reduce total emissions 60% by 2030. The 60% reduction from 2019 emissions by 2030 will also advance the GWSA requirement to reduce emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and will put South Burlington on track to reduce emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. The chart below shows the emissions levels needed to meet those requirements. Although not shown in Figure 11 explicitly, the City and its residents and businesses do have a long history of taking steps to weatherize buildings, drive cleaner vehicles, drive less, use transit, use energy efficient appliances, and install renewable energy generation. In order to achieve this level of emission reduction, the City, residents, and businesses must accelerate the pace of action and take bold steps to reduce energy consumption and electrify the heating and transportation sectors. The SBTs in this plan are presented as 2030, or interim, targets. See Appendix A for more information.South Burlington's Historical GHG Emissions and Future RequirementsUsing ICLEI's ClearPath tool, a baseline inventory of GHG emissions, a business-as-usual forecast, and science-based target (SBT) scenario was developed for South Burlington.The baseline inventory represents residential, commercial/industrial, and transportation energy consumption along with the associated GHG emissions for the Year 2019 data to avoid capturing pandemic related data fluctuations.The business-as-usual scenario represents no climate action taken and creates a projection of emission trends based on anticipated demographic and economic changes in South Burlington.SBT scenario combines the business-as-usual forecast with the emission reduction goal of 60% reduction in emissions from 2019 and various reductions actions for meeting the reduction goal.Baseline inventory Business-as-usual scenario Science-based target (SBT) scenario4ICELI’s Science Based Targets for U.S. Communities 4Figure 11 PAGE | 22 2019 Greenhouse Gas InventoryThe data and analysis in this section are intended to provide the City with a sense of the pace of change needed to meet the SBT target. The targets can be translated into concrete actions found in the sector specific sections. The sector specific targets form the entire reduction potential towards reducing 60% of emissions by 2030. Meaning if less of one target is achieved, other targets would need to make up the difference in emissions to meet the SBT target.The 2019 GHG emissions inventory provides an accounting of the primary contributors of GHG emissions within the City. The inventory is an estimate of emissions from energy consumption from thermal heating and electricity use in residential and commercial/industrial buildings, as well as from on-road vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Most of the emissions from buildings comes from natural gas for heating. Emissions from electricity is less, due to Green Mountain Power having only a small portion of their generation portfolio from fossil fuels in 2019.The business-as-usual scenario begins with the 2019 GHG inventory and creates a projection of emission trends based on population and employment growth for the year 2030. Population is assumed to increase 1.3% annually and employment 1% annually. These increases are based on past trends since 2010. The business-as-usual scenario is helpful for understanding change in emissions if climate action is not taken by the City. The business-as-usual scenario incorporates external policies, which are already in effect or will take effect between the Year 2019 and Year 2030. Green Mountain Power’s achievement of 100% carbon free electricity and decreases in carbon emissions from on-road travel because of improvements in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards have been included. VGS’s plan to add 20% renewable natural gas to their portfolio by 2030 is an existing policy that was not modeled in the business-as-usual scenario but could play a role in reducing GHG emissions from natural gas fuel usage. On-road transportation emissions are derived from VMT for gas and diesel vehicles. Vehicle class types include motorcycles, passenger vehicles, light and heavy-duty trucks. On-road VMT emissions are attributed to the miles driven within South Burlington irrespective to where vehicles are coming from and where they are going. Meaning emissions from through traffic is part of South Burlington’s inventory. Although South Burlington policies may not be able to reduce through traffic, policies to increase EV charging stations in the City may convert some of those miles to zero emissions, especially for people shopping and working in the City.VMT data, which accounts for origin and destination, is not available regularly whereas data on miles driven within the City irrespective to origin and destination is available. Therefore, relying on data that includes pass through traffic may not reflect the audience for this plan, but it does make tracking progress on reducing VMT feasible.Business As Usual ScenarioGiven demographic changes and external policies, the City’s emissions will slightly increase and continue to do so if no action is taken to reduce GHG emissions. Therefore, electrifying the buildings/thermal and transportation sectors is critical to meeting South Burlington’s emission reduction target.See the climate action by sector section of this plan to understand how the city plans to reduce GHG emissions.PAGE | 23Figure 12 South Burlington 2019 GHG Emissions (MT Co2e)Emissions Science-Based Target ScenarioThe SBT scenario combines the business-as-usual forecast with the emission reduction goal of 60% reduction in emissions by 2030 from a 2019 start year for commercial energy, residential energy, and transportation energy. The SBT scenario applies a suite of actions to the business-as-usual scenario, which demonstrate the degree of implementation needed for these actions to achieve a 60% reduction in total emissions. The suite of actions is detailed in the Climate Action by Sector sections.The SBT scenario demonstrates the magnitude of change needed to reduce emissions from residential energy, commercial energy, and transportation energy. The 2030 targets will result in the following decreased from 2019 levels.Residential emissions decreasing by 51%Transportation emissions decreasing by 61%Commercial emission decreasing by 68%Figure 13 Figure 14 PAGE | 24 Community ProfileThe actions contained in the SBT scenario are all actions that mitigate or directly reduce the City’s contribution of emissions in the land use/transportation and buildings/thermal sectors. Other sectors like natural areas, are important to climate action planning and have been included in the process through the use of the Land Emissions and Removals Navigator (LEARN tool). However, only forest and trees were analyzed to understand their role in mitigating climate change. Actions for the natural areas sector are also considered important for climate adaptation and resilience to help the city withstand impacts of climate change. Although the natural area sector is not modeled in the SBT scenario, modeling was conducted with the LEARN tool to understand the role forest and trees play in carbon removal and emissions on an annual basis. Additionally, data on forest conversion and forest loss is provided to understand emission impacts from development and other forest disturbances. GHG quantification of non-forested land cover (wetland, grassland, cropland) is not quantifiable due to complexities of soil carbon dynamics and methodology limitations.Given that the total emissions from buildings/thermal and transportation/land use, is 195,712 (MT CO2e), the net carbon removed by trees could be applied to the total emissions to reduce emissions by the amount of 8,769 t CO2e. Therefore, maintaining forests and trees is an effective method for removing carbon from the atmosphere and helps the city to meet the 60% reduction in total emissions.Forest and trees play a key role in removing carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and plays a critical role in regulating climate. Key findings from analyzing how local changes in land use and tree canopy have contributed to South Burlington’s GHG profile are as follows :Over the period 2001 to 2019, emissions from forests being converted to development/settlement, grassland/other non-forested land, and individual trees being removed were 1,000 t CO2e per year. The amount of emissions are based on the average carbon stock present in the forest stock prior to tree harvesting.Over the period 2001 to 2019, forest and trees removed net -8,769 t CO2e per year.Approximately 18% of South Burlington’s total land base of 10,597 acres is forest. Many areas outside of forests are also covered by trees, including an average of 17% percent tree canopy on lands outside of forest areas.When implementing actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become more resilient to climate change impacts, it is important to understand the City of South Burlington in terms of demographics, commuting patterns, and housing composition. Identifying characteristics of South Burlington will help the City focus on the actions that are tailored to South Burlington. Additionally, information on who lives in South Burlington, where they work, and how they heat/cool their homes adds context to ensure that climate actions are designed with residents and business in mind for long-term impact and success.The next page provides an overview of the demographics of the City and also highlights the communities that could be burdened by climate change and may not be able to access or afford carbon reducing technologies such as electric vehicles and heat pumps.5 ICLEI’S LEARN Tool and Resources 5 PAGE | 25 20,830 9,372 2.17 41.6 $87,377 $354,097 122 99 36DemographicsAT RISK POPULATIONPOVERTY AND LANGUAGEPOPULATION AND BUSINESS1,858 3,851 7825%471 027,017 1,469 19,603Households With Disability Population 65+Households Without VehicleHouseholds Below the Poverty Level Households Below the Poverty Level Pop. 65+ Speak Spanish & no EnglishDaytime Population Total Businesses Total EmployeesPOPULATIONHOUSEHOLDSAVG.

Moreover, these communities may not have the income to invest thousands of dollars for electrification and weatherization. So, it is critical to keep these communities at the forefront in climate action planning and to understand the impacted communities in South Burlington.According the 2020 American Community Survey:Various programs are offered by the State of Vermont, Green Mountain Power, VGS, Efficiency Vermont, and the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity to assist income eligible households with the cost of weatherization, heat pump installation, or electric vehicle/charging equipment purchasing. It is difficult to estimate the number of households that could be eligible for these programs because each program is designed with different income eligibility and household size criteria. The programs also change annually. As shown in the data, there is a significant population in South Burlington that could be eligible for these programs and the City should work with utilities and other energy partners to promote income sensitive programs to impacted communities. The data seen here will help to inform subsequent implementation phases to climate action planning to identify the best approach to making climate action more equitable.Population EstimateWhite AloneBlack or African …American IndianAsianNative HawaiianAnother Race Al…Two or More Ra…05k10k15k Race16,761 519 91 1,046 0 54 888White alone Black or African American alone American Indian and Alaska Native Alone Asian Alone Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone Some other race alone Two or more racesSource: 2020 ACS, 5-year EstimateSource: 2020 ACS, 5-year Estimate3,683 or 19% of people are over 656% of households or 544 households are below the poverty level752 households do not have a carApproximately half of the households earn less than the median household income, which is $87,37712% of the population identifies as a race that is Black/African American, American Indian, Asian, or another race Figure 15Figure 16 PAGE | 27 Housing CompositionThe composition of housing in South Burlington is important because actions to weatherize, electrify, and install electric vehicle charging will be different for each type of housing tenure and for single-unit homes vs. multi-unit homes.Understanding that South Burlington is a City of both renters and homeowners and single-unit homes and multi-unit homes is critical for the successful implementation of the high impact actions in the buildings/thermal and transportation sectors.For example, renters may not have the ability to make weatherization improvements to their homes because they are not the owner, and the cost/benefit may not be great enough to encourage the property owner to make changes. Additionally, energy improvements to multi-unit properties are more challenging and could potentially involve homeowner associations and other third parties. As such any action implemented should seek to form a collaborative partnership between the City, utilities, property owners, and others.Although homeowners could renovate their homes to use a cleaner fuel source or install EV charging more so than renters, they may not have the capital to do so. Therefore, it is key for buildings/thermal and transportation actions to include financial incentives for homeowners, as well as property owners of rental units.8,764 5,256 3,508AllOwnerRenter02.5k5k7.5k 4,045 5,383Single Unit Multi Unit02k4kHousing Stock as of Year 2020Estimated Number of Householdsof households are owner occupiedof households are renter occupiedof homes are multi-unit homes (includes condos, attached dwelling units) are single unit homesIn South Burlington:60%40%42%58%Source: CCRPC Housing DatabaseSource: ACS 2015-2019 South Burlington, 2019Figure 17Figure 18 PAGE | 28 Commuting PatternsAs indicated in previous section, transportation makes up 65% of greenhouse gas emissions in South Burlington. These emissions come from residents traveling in gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles to get to work, school, and services. These emissions also come from commuters coming into South Burlington to get to their jobs. Employers can incentivize their employees to make their commutes more energy efficient by:In total about 20,000 people work in South Burlington. About 87% or 17,639 of these employees live outside of South Burlington but travel to South Burlington from elsewhere. The remaining 13% or 2,613 employees live and work in South Burlington.Enhancements to transit services offered by Green Mountain Transit coupled with key locations of park and rides are also another approach to getting people to change their daily commutes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The commuting patterns of South Burlington employees present an opportunity to work with businesses to reduce emissions from transportation.Employers and their employees can reduce emissions by either: Driving an electric vehicle Working remotely Taking transit Carpooling Walking / biking partnering with CATMA to educate employees about ways to reduce their daily commuting miles.Additionally, prioritizing higher density in areas served by transit could entice workers to give up their long commutes and make South Burlington the place where they live and work.Installing electric vehicle charging equipment, and Source: LEHD, on the map PAGE | 29 Fuel Source for HeatingThe City of South Burlington is served by VGS. VGS provides a majority of owner-occupied and renter occupied homes with natural gas. A small portion of owner-occupied homes are using wood for a heating source compared to no renter-occupied homes using wood at all. Both owner-occupied and renter-occupied homes are using electricity for a heat source. However, information on the type of technology used with electricity for heating is not available. Homes could be using legacy electric resistance heat or homes could be using cold climate heat pumps powered by electricity. South Burlington saw an uptick in cold climate heat pumps installed in the last three years, which indicates that a portion of the homes heating with electricity are using cold climate heat pumps. A small portion of both renter-occupied homes and owner-occupied homes are relying on delivered fuels or fuel oil to heat their homes. Either these homes have not yet switched over to natural gas or natural gas is not available in their neighborhood.Source: Efficiency Vermont RPC Report 2021 Source: American Community Survey 5-year estimate (2016-2020), margin of error is associated with these dataSource: American Community Survey 5-year estimate (2016-2020), margin of error is associated with these dataFigure 19 Figure 20Figure 21 PAGE | 30Owner-Occupied Home Heating FuelHeat Pump Water Heater Installations Renter-Occupied Home Heating FuelNumber of Heat Pumps Annual MonitoringEffective and transparent monitoring is vital to understanding and communicating the progress of the actions set out in this plan. Annual monitoring should be consistent with the data and analysis in this plan. The 2030 targets included in the sector-based sections should be used as the basis for annual tracking of implementation to demonstrate progress in achieving the targets. Information for measuring progress can be qualitative or quantitative depending on the sector. For example, quantitative data is more readily available for the buildings/thermal, transportation/land use, and city government operations sectors than is available for the natural areas, agriculture, and waste. Although quantitative data may not be available it is still important to track progress made in these sectors with descriptive information if available. Monitoring should also focus on ways to track whether equity considerations are being included in ongoing implementation.Implementations of Actions and Next StepsOnce the Climate Action Plan is complete, the transportation sector and city government operations sector will be studied, and a more detailed implementation plan will be developed for each. The City plans to work with a transportation consultant and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission on the transportation sector implementation plan. The City was also awarded a State of Vermont municipal planning grant to develop an implementation plan for the City government operations sector. Additionally in August 2022, the CAPTF proposed to the City Council adoption of a carbon free heating and hot water ordinance to reduce GHG emissions in new buildings. It is anticipated that the equity recommendations and considerations identified in this plan will be a center point of the sector-based implementation plans. Plans for the remaining sectors will be developed as funds become available. The CAPTF recognizes that implementation costs are monumental and therefore asks the City to embed the 2030 targets and considerations into all decision making, especially as part of the City’s budget.PAGE | 31 Appendix A ClearPath Modeling SBTs and Emission Goals 2030 Emission Reduction Goal Base Year 2019 (MT Co2e) 2030 BAU (MT Co2e) 2030 SBTs and GWSA (MT Co2e) 60.20% 195,712 196,253 77,894 Growth Rates Employment Population Grid Emissions VMT 1% annually 1.3% annually 0 1.3% annually Base Year BAU SBT 2030 Modeled Emissions Fuel/Sector Year 2019 (MT Co2e) 2030 (MT Co2e) Science Based Target (MT C02e) Sector Commercial/Industrial Natural Gas 32,319 32,676 11,548 Commercial Energy Commercial/Industrial Electric 3,378 0 Residential Electric 1,048 0 15,573 Residential Energy Residential Natural Gas 30,630 35,306 On-Road Transportation 128,337 128,271 49,832 Transportation Total 195,712 196,253 76,953 PAGE | 32 Appendix A Forest Tree Disturbances/Forest to Settlement COe2/yr 1,000 1,000 1,000 Landuse CO2 e/yr Removal from Undisturbed Forest/Trees in Settled Areas -8,769 -8,769 -8,769 Natural Areas Net Total 187,943 188,484 69,184 Degree of Implementation (Start Year 2023 ,End Year 2030) Measures SBT Scenario Emission Reductions (MT C02e) Percent Reduction in Sector Emissions Residential Electrification/Number of Housing Units Retrofitted (annual) 360 housing units 10,140 9% Home Weatherization (annual) 600 homes 5,565 5% 2030 District (Commercial Benchmarking, Electrification (annual)) 8% commercial sq. ft annually 20,108 17% Electric Vehicle Adoption, by 2030 37.5% EV, 37.5% HEV 50,377 42% VMT Reduction Annually 2.5% 22,491 19% Compact Development New Units (2,7770 units in high density ( > 12.5 du per acre) 5,341 4% Fossil Fuel Free Heating Ordinance for new buildings 143 new homes per year, 53,000 square feet 5,048 4% PAGE | 33 Appendix B Glossary of Climate Change Terms Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Adaptation Adjustment or preparation of natural or human systems to a new or changing environment which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. Biofuels Gas or liquid fuel made from plant material. Includes wood, wood waste, wood liquors, peat, railroad ties, wood sludge, spent sulfite liquors, agricultural waste, straw, tires, fish oils, tall oil, sludge waste, waste alcohol, municipal solid waste, landfill gases, other waste, and ethanol blended into motor gasoline. Carbon Dioxide A naturally occurring gas, and also a by-product of burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as land-use changes and other industrial processes. It is the principal human caused greenhouse gas that affects the Earth's radiative balance. It is the reference gas against which other greenhouse gases are measured and therefore has a Global Warming Potential of 1. Carbon Sequestration Terrestrial, or biologic, carbon sequestration is the process by which trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen, and store the carbon. Geologic sequestration is one step in the process of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and involves injecting carbon dioxide deep underground where it stays permanently. Carbon Capture and Sequestration Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from new and existing coal- and gas-fired power plants, industrial processes, and other stationary sources of carbon dioxide. It is a three-step process that includes capture of carbon dioxide from power plants or industrial sources; transport of the captured and compressed carbon dioxide (usually in pipelines); and underground injection and geologic sequestration, or permanent storage, of that carbon dioxide in rock formations that contain tiny openings or pores that trap and hold the carbon dioxide. Climate Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the "average weather," or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands of years. The classical period is 3 decades, as defined PAGE | 34 Appendix B by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system. Climate Change Climate change refers to any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. In other words, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, among others, that occur over several decades or longer. Deforestation Those practices or processes that result in the conversion of forested lands for non-forest uses. Deforestation contributes to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations for two reasons: 1) the burning or decomposition of the wood releases carbon dioxide; and 2) trees that once removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis are no longer present. Ecosystem Any natural unit or entity including living and non-living parts that interact to produce a stable system through cyclic exchange of materials. Emissions The release of a substance (usually a gas when referring to the subject of climate change) into the atmosphere. Emissions Factor A unique value for scaling emissions to activity data in terms of a standard rate of emissions per unit of activity (e.g., grams of carbon dioxide emitted per barrel of fossil fuel consumed, or per pound of product produced). Energy Efficiency Using less energy to provide the same service. ENERGY STAR A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. Learn more about ENERGY STAR. Fossil Fuel A general term for organic materials formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. PAGE | 35 Appendix B Fuel Switching In general, this is substituting one type of fuel for another. In the climate-change discussion it is implicit that the substituted fuel produces lower carbon emissions per unit energy produced than the original fuel, e.g., natural gas for coal. Global Average Temperature An estimate of Earths mean surface air temperature averaged over the entire planet. Global Warming The recent and ongoing global average increase in temperature near the Earth’s surface. Global Warming Potential A measure of the total energy that a gas absorbs over a particular period of time (usually 100 years), compared to carbon dioxide. Greenhouse Effect Trapping and build-up of heat in the atmosphere (troposphere) near the Earth’s surface. Some of the heat flowing back toward space from the Earth's surface is absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, and several other gases in the atmosphere and then reradiated back toward the Earth’s surface. If the atmospheric concentrations of these greenhouse gases rise, the average temperature of the lower atmosphere will gradually increase. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Any gas that absorbs infrared radiation in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride. Habitat Fragmentation A process during which larger areas of habitat are broken into a number of smaller patches of smaller total area, isolated from each other by a matrix of habitats unlike the original habitat. Heat Island An urban area characterized by temperatures higher than those of the surrounding non-urban area. As urban areas develop, buildings, roads, and other infrastructure replace open land and vegetation. These surfaces absorb more solar energy, which can create higher temperatures in urban areas. PAGE | 36 Appendix B Heat Waves A prolonged period of excessive heat, often combined with excessive humidity. Intergovernmental Panel on climate Change (IPCC) The IPCC was established jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988. The purpose of the IPCC is to assess information in the scientific and technical literature related to all significant components of the issue of climate change. The IPCC draws upon hundreds of the world's expert scientists as authors and thousands as expert reviewers. Leading experts on climate change and environmental, social, and economic sciences from some 60 nations have helped the IPCC to prepare periodic assessments of the scientific underpinnings for understanding global climate change and its consequences. With its capacity for reporting on climate change, its consequences, and the viability of adaptation and mitigation measures, the IPCC is also looked to as the official advisory body to the world's governments on the state of the science of the climate change issue. For example, the IPCC organized the development of internationally accepted methods for conducting national greenhouse gas emission inventories. Landfill Land waste disposal site in which waste is generally spread in thin layers, compacted, and covered with a fresh layer of soil each day. Natural Gas Underground deposits of gases consisting of 50 to 90 percent methane (CH4) and small amounts of heavier gaseous hydrocarbon compounds such as propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10). Recycling Collecting and reprocessing a resource so it can be used again. An example is collecting aluminum cans, melting them down, and using the aluminum to make new cans or other aluminum products. Reforestation Planting of forests on lands that have previously contained forests but that have been converted to some other use. Renewable Energy Energy resources that are naturally replenishing such as biomass, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, ocean thermal, wave action, and tidal action. PAGE | 37 Appendix B Resilience A capability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant multi-hazard threats with minimum damage to social well- being, the economy, and the environment. Sink Any process, activity or mechanism which removes a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas or aerosol from the atmosphere. Soil Carbon A major component of the terrestrial biosphere pool in the carbon cycle. The amount of carbon in the soil is a function of the historical vegetative cover and productivity, which in turn is dependent in part upon climatic variables. Vulnerability The degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate variation to which a system is exposed; its sensitivity; and its adaptive capacity. Wastewater Water that has been used and contains dissolved or suspended waste materials. Weather Atmospheric condition at any given time or place. It is measured in terms of such things as wind, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, and precipitation. In most places, weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the "average weather", or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system. A simple way of remembering the difference is that climate is what you expect (e.g. cold winters) and 'weather' is what you get (e.g. a blizzard). PAGE | 38 Appendix CAppendix C contains all the actions identified by the CAPTF. The actions are categorized by sector and by either high impact action or supporting actions. Each action is also associated with a pathway, a science-based target, a monitoring metric, ID #, action type, and responsible leader. A pathway is a high-level means of achieving GHG emissions or adaptation goals. A science-based target is the target required for South Burlington to meet its share of emission reductions in accordance with South Burlington's goals. The monitoring metric is a data point to measure progress towards meeting the science-based target. Actions are categorized into policies (including resolutions, law and regulations), promotions (e.g., advertising and marketing) and investment (including municipal spending and incentives). Actions are the "operational" tasks the city will undertake to support the pathways and achieve the science-based targets. Leaders are committees or staff responsible for implementing the action, these may need to be verified with the City Manager.

Parks & Recreation, Parks & Recreation CommitteeSupportingPAGE | 48 MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council FROM: City Attorney’s Office DATE: October 3, 2022 RE: Wheeler Park Conservation Easement In 2021, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Vermont Land Trust (“VLT”) regarding the conservation of Wheeler Nature Park (“Park”). The shared goal of both the City and VLT as outlined in the MOU was to conserve the undeveloped core of the Park property as a community resource with the multiple purposes of protecting the property’s natural features, biological diversity, water quality, productive forestland and fields, and opportunities for outdoor recreation, education, and other community uses. The MOU contemplates the conservation of approximately 107 acres of Park land (“Conservation Area”) and excludes from conservation the approximately 10 acre area of the Park including the Calkins/Wheeler house, community gardens, tree nursery, parking areas, and dog park (“Homestead Area”). Incorporated into the MOU was a map of the Wheeler Nature Park parcel and a standard VLT Grant of Development Rights, Conservation Restrictions, and Public Access Agreement (“Conservation Easement”). Since this time, the City has been working with VLT on the actual Conservation Easement and VLT has been researching the property title in the land records and analyzing the specific boundaries of the area to be conserved. As part of that process, VLT has recommended an alteration to the boundary line of the Homestead Area from what was identified on the rough map attached to the MOU. VLT suggests that the boundary between the Homestead Area and the Conserved Area be amended to follow a known survey line having to do with prime soils mitigation. The result of this change would be to increase the Homestead Area from approximately 10 acres to approximately 11.5 acres. The revised map reflecting this change and the known survey map are attached to this memorandum for your reference. VLT has also asked the City to confirm its intent to include the approximately 21.27 acres of adjacent land in the Conservation Area. This is the area of land the City voted to exchange for 7.25 acres back in 2011 and is the “panhandle” or “leg” land displayed on the attached map. VLT asks this because they have identified the following concerns: 1) the number of reserved rights on this portion of land that have been discovered though their title work; 2) the number of abutters, some of whom have apparent existing encroachments and the potential for future encroachments; and 3) the resulting possible implications for their stewardship of the conservation easement. To incorporate that “leg” land into the Conservation Area and limit VLT’s conservation easement stewardship exposure there, VLT requests that the City clearly mark the boundary line prior to the closing of the Conservation Easement. Following the Council’s guidance on the two topics above (increase Homestead Area to 11.5 acres and marking the “leg” boundary line), the City will finalize the Conservation Easement with VLT and bring that finalized document back to you for your consideration of a resolution authorizing execution of Conservation Easement and scheduling of a closing. Recommended Action: 1) Consider the increase of the Homestead Area from 10 acres to approximately 11.5 acres; 2) Consider whether City the intends to conserve the “leg” portion of the Park; 3) If the City does intend to conserve the “leg” portion, consider authorizing the City to clearly mark the boundary line of that portion as requested by VLT; and 4) Make a motion addressing the Council’s decisions on 1-3, above.
