Re: June 27, 1995 agenda items
Date: June 5, 1995
TERRY SHEPARD - 131 PATCHEN ROAD
1. Services (water, sewer) will be privately owned and maintained. These services

2. Site plan dated 4/19/95 prepared by Vermont Land Surveyors is acceptable.
HOWARD BARBER PROPERTY - BARRETT STREET
1. The existing lot has a drainageway through it. It is proposed to pipe (1811) this

(easterly lot) is willing to allow the proposed 18 inch pipe cross a portion of their lot
and outlet beyond their northerly lot line in the existing channel.
2. The channel from the new pipe to an existing pipe at the turnaround on Iby
Street should be rechanneled and cleaned. This is on City land.
3. A minimum 30 foot side yard setback from lot No 44 easterly line should be
maintained to allow for clearance from a deep sewer along this lot line and away from
extensive filling.

6. Application of Howard Barber for approval to relocate and pipe
a watercourse which crosses an existing undeveloped lot for the
purpose of development, 42 Barrett St:
Mr. Jacob noted that in 1967, when Dumont Construction bought the
Barrett St. development, the road went right into the
development. The city didn't want the road meeting Iby St. This
created a problem with a lot that has no frontage, and Mr. Barber
now wants to solve this problem.
Mr. Jacobs said that after consulting with the City Engineer, it
was determined that if the watercourse were straightened out,
land could be deeded to the duplex lot to provide adequate
frontage. The water would be brought to a basin and piped onto
city property. A house could then be put on the lot. At the
present time, water stands on the lot and cannot flow properly.
Mr. Weith added that there would also be a boundary line adjust-
ment done administratively.
Mr. Jacob noted that another neighbor's swing set is off his
property, and this can also be fixed with the proposed
adjustment.
Ms. Snyder of the Natural Resources Committee read a memo from
the Committee in which they said this is an area underlain by
poor draining soil. The Commission feels the water course
should not be disturbed.
Mr. Teeson said that since the problem was created by the city,
he felt the city should allow the owner to use his land. Mr.

current facility generates 87 vte's and the proposed addition will
add three (3) vte's for a total of 90 vte's.
The applicant should be aware that the road impact fee for this
project is approximately $50.00.
Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement, based on
building costs, is $1650 which is being met. Plantings will
include Crabapple, Rhododendron, Roses, Yew and Spurge.
Lighting: Exterior lighting consists of four (4) 25 foot poles
with two (2) metal halide laMPB each, one (1) 20 foot pole with a
mercury vapor lamp and one (1) metal halide lamp on the building.
The applicant should try to tip the flood lights straight down so
as to reduce the amount of glare being cast onto Williston Road.
Sewer: No additional sewer allocation needed.
6) NAPJ%ft,�, -� SAW= 1 1
This project consists of relocating and piping a watercourse which
crosses an existing undeveloped lot for the purpose of development.
This request is being made pursuant to Section 3.60 of the zoning
regulations.
This property located at 42 Barrett Street lies within the R4
District. It is bounded on the north by single family residences,
on the west by a single family residence and City owned land, on
the east by a two (2) family residence and on the south by Barrett
Street.
The proposed relocation involves installing catch basins and
drainage pipe to carry water around the perimeter of the lot to
make the central portion available for development. The Planning
Commission may permit the relocation of a watercourse provided the
relocation will not significantly affect adversely the attributes
listed in Section 3.503(a) - (e) of the zoning regulations. The
applicant has submitted a report addressing these attributes (see
enclosed).
Section 3.60 of the zoning regulations requires that the Natural
Resources Committee (NRC) review and provide comment on any
application to relocate a watercourse. The NRC reviewed the plans

on 6/13/95 and will hold a site visit prior to the meeting. Their
comments on this application will be provided at the meeting by an
NRC member.
Legal documents: The legal documents for the drainage easement
should be approved by the City Attorney and recorded in the land
records prior to construction of the watercourse improvements and
prior to a zoning permit for development, whichever comes first.
7) BLUEPRINTS, ETC. - PHASE OFFICE BUILDING- SITE PLAN
This project consists of amending a previously approved site plan
for the construction of a two (2) story 10,000 square foot office
building on a 1.3 acre lot. The amendment consists of phasing the
project into two (2) phases, each consisting of 5,000 square feet.
Site plan approval for this building was granted on August 25,
1987, January 14, 1992, May 25, 1993 and on January 10, 1995
(minutes enclosed) but this building has never been built. The
applicant obtained a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment
on January 9, 1995 in order to build the building with 54 square
feet located within 93 feet of the centerline of Potash Brook.
This property located at 20 Farrell Street lies within the C2 and
CO zones and is bounded on the north by the Vermont Lung
Association, on the east by East Woods, on the south by a
warehouse/distribution building and on the west by Farrell Street.
Access/circulation: Access will be provided by one (1) 22 foot
wide curb cut on Farrell Street.
Circulation is adequate.
Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 9% (maximum allowed is
30%). overall coverage for Phase I is 29.9% and for Phase II it is
39% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front yard coverage is 19% (maximum
allowed is 30%).
The building meets the setback requirements except that it will
project seven (7) feet into C.O. zone and will result in 54 square
feet of the building being within the C.O. zone. The owner
obtained a variance from the ZBA for this encroachment.

TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Natural Resources Committee
DATE: 27 June 1995
RE: Development of 42 Barrett Street Property
The drainage way on the Barrett Street lot is well delineated by
wetland type plants. There is an obvious swath of cattails and a
healthy stand of sensitive fern. There is standing water in the
area near the street drain. The soils underlying fill are poorly
drained, probably clay. Neighbors state that they have problems
with water in the basements. On the foundation of at least one
house there was evidence of salts leaching from cinder block.
It is the feeling of the committee that the drainage pattern
should not be disturbed. Section 3.104 states that "all land
along a ... drainage -way which is within 50 feet horizontal
distance of the centerline of the ... drainage -way" are within the
boundaries of the Co district. This area is providing drainage
from up slope toward Route 116. We feel that by filling and
attempting to re-route surface and ground water will not "improve
the quality of ... soil ... and water and the natural processes by
which they are related ... and aesthetically - pleasing community".
The suggestion of relocating the drainage -way to the east side of
the lot would involve taking out several trees including at least
one butternut tree.

RE: 3-50 NON -CONFORMING USE AND ACTIVITIES A THRU E
DearJoe:
As indicated in my letter of May 9, we proposed to pipe the water from the east side of
the lot to the west and then place an 18 inch drain pipe to the rear of the lot and into the
existing city property. We also propose to clean out an existing channel that is overgrown to
allow water to flow and be stored adequately.
B - This should not hinder in any way or cause any erosion. As it stands now there is
an open ditch which can cause a mosquito problem and can fill up with trash; this will clean
up the situation and allow water to flow as it should flow.
C - In no way will it interfere with the enjoyment or adequate use of adjacent
properties. In fact, this will enhance the enjoyment and be safer.
D - This area is not a wet land. It has been used for drainage by the city. It has been
filled somewhat by the city and the piping of the water will add to safety, functional value and
it will clean up an eye -sore.
E - To the best of my knowledge, there is no wildlife or fisheries habitat in this
drainage ditch.
Sincerely,
