PROJECT DESCRPTION
Preliminary plat application #SD‐20‐17 of Blackrock Construction for the 6.91‐acre “Wheeler Parcel”
phase of a previously approved master plan for a 450‐acre Golf Course and 354‐unit residential
development. The planned unit development consists of establishing two lots and constructing 22
dwelling units in two‐family homes and 10 units in single family homes, 550 Park Road.
CONTEXT
The project is located along Dorset Street, across from an existing residential development on Nicklaus
Circle which consists of two‐family homes. It is served by an existing recreation path on Park Road and
Dorset Street and is in an area identified in the Comprehensive Plan as an area of very low intensity
development consisting principally of open space.
PERMIT HISTORY
This 6.91 acre parcel is part of the 8/24/2015 “Amended Agreement Among the City of South Burlington,
Highlands Development Company, LLC and JAM Golf, LLC” (“Amended Agreement”). The parcel itself
was the subject of a land exchange between the City and these parties. The Amended Agreement
incorporates the 9/28/2015 “Amended Consent Order and Decree” (“Consent Order”), which approves
at the Master Plan level up to 32 dwelling units for this “Wheeler Parcel” lot in buildings consisting of
between one and four dwelling unit each. The Amended Agreement determined that the preliminary &
final plat reviews for the Wheeler Parcel would take place under an amended set of Land Development
Regulations, established through a collaborative process between the City and property owner.
“6. New Land Development Regulations for Wheeler Parcel Project Area.
a. A portion of the City Parcel, specifically the +/‐6.91 acres currently in the Wheeler Nature Park
east of Dorset Street and north of Park Road, being the lands labelled ‘6.91 Acres CITY of SOUTH
BURLINGTON to JAM GOLF, LLC’ on the survey incorporated herein as Exhibit A also referred to
as the Wheeler Parcel Project Area, is not presently in a zoning district that allows the use
contemplated by this Amended Agreement. The City agrees to amend its Land Development
Regulations, including necessary maps, to allow the Wheeler Parcel Project Area to be developed
with a maximum of 32 dwelling units in structures consisting of 1‐4 dwelling units within the
intent of this Amended Agreement. The City and Developers agree to cooperate and to work
together to ensure that the amendments contain provision that allow development of residential
structure consisting of 1‐4 dwelling units similar in type and size to those presently existing in the
Project, that include site and building design standards similar to those applicable to the
Southeast Quadrant, Neighborhood Residential Subdistrict version of the Land Development
Regulations that took effect on May 7, 2012, and that include site design standards that require
compatibility with adjacent natural areas. Applications for preliminary and final plat and site
plan approval for the Wheeler Parcel Project Area that be reviewed under the amended Land
Development contemplated by this Paragraph 6 (the ‘Amendments’).”
The amended Land Development Regulations contemplated in the paragraph above were adopted by
the City Council and took effect January 11, 2016, and were subsequently amended effective January 25,
2016 to correct an error in the included maps. The parties agreed that the January 25, 2016 regulations
would satisfy condition #6 of the Amended Agreement above.

The Board reviewed the sketch plan application for the project on January 22, 2020.
COMMENTS
Development Review Planner Marla Keene and Planning and Zoning Director Paul Conner, hereafter
referred to as Staff, have reviewed the plans submitted by the applicant and have the following
comments.
A) DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS
The Applicant is proposing to subdivide one existing parcel into two lots in preparation for development
of 32 homes on one lot and construction of a public roadway on the other lot. Staff considers that the
non‐contiguous residential lots must be considered as individual lots, making this a three lot subdivision.
The plat should be updated to reflect this change.
SEQ‐NRN Required Proposed
Min. Lot Size 40,000 sf 5.8 ac
@ Max. Building Coverage 15 % 45 %
@ Max. Overall Coverage 30 % 35 %
Min. Front Setback* 20 ft. 20 ft.

Max. Stories 4 2
Max. Stories below roofline 3 2
Max. Stories facing street 2 2
*Along Dorset street, there is a minimum 50‐foot setback.
@ See discussion below
1. The master plan approval addressed the topic of overall coverage and building coverage, stating that
the maximum coverages were 30% and 15%, respectively. This must be provided on an overall basis,
however, and not on a project by project basis. Staff recommends the Board consider whether they
will require the applicant to demonstrate that coverages are met for the overall master plan, a map
of which is included in the packet, or whether they will accept that these coverages are met.
The SEQ‐NRN was established in 2016 as a specific response to the settlement agreement creating this
development area. It was intended to be similar to the adjoining SEQ‐NR district, but to “include site
design standards that require compatibility with adjacent natural areas.” The SEQ‐NRN district includes
only this parcel, therefore Staff considers that the intention of the drafters of those regulations was
strict compliance of this project with the standards of the SEQ‐NRN. Compared to the SEQ‐NR, The SEQ‐
NRN contains additional regulations pertaining to landscaping buffers, and to height. Figure 9‐2A
illustrates the areas of these additional regulations.
4
Landscape buffers are discussed below.
Pertaining to height, Staff considers this application presents three height‐related issues. In order from
most specific to most general, they are SEQ‐NRN height standards, adjustment of preconstruction grade,
and maximum building height.
Within the SEQ‐NRN district there are three zones in which buildings are limited to one story.
The applicant has proposed to locate eight dwelling units in these areas, consisting of four single
family units and four units in duplex homes. The applicant has provided elevations of potential
one story homes. Staff notes the provided elevations show homes with roof lines higher than a
traditional one story home, and some that are labeled as 1‐story have a second level of
windows. A Story is defined in the LDR as follows:
5
Story. That part of a building above ground level between a floor and the floor next above. If
there is no floor above it, then the space between the floor and the roof or ceiling next above
it. Story shall include basements and not cellars. An intermediate floor between the floor and
ceiling of any story shall be deemed a mezzanine and shall not be counted as a story unless the
total of all mezzanine areas exceeds five thousand square feet (5,000 SF) or one‐third of the
area of the floor immediately below it, whichever is less. A basement shall be considered as a
story where the finished surface of the floor above the basement is: (1) More than four (4) feet
above the average pre‐construction level of the adjoining ground, or (2) More than twelve (12)
feet above the pre‐construction ground level at any point.
2. Even barring the specific definition of story, Staff considers the intention was to have lower homes in
the 1‐story building areas, while allowing standard heights outside those area. Staff recommends
the Board require the applicant to provide heights for the proposed buildings to allow evaluation of
compliance with the spirit of the 1‐story zones.
3. Further, Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to clarify whether there is more than one
floor level in the provided elevations, particularly those that have a second level of windows.
Buildings with more than one floor level would be considered as having multiple stories and thus not
be permitted.
The applicant has requested a modification of pre‐construction grade for all of the units,
including those within and those outside the one story zones. Staff assumes this is because the
applicant wishes to construct the buildings to the maximum allowed height and raise their
footprints. The Board has the ability to grant this modification under LDR 3.12. They have
indicated on the plans what they are requesting the modification to, and indicated in their
narrative that this represents an increase of 2‐4 feet over existing grade. As noted above, there
is a restriction limiting buildings to one story in certain portions of this development area.
4. Staff recommends the Board consider the request only to the extent that it results in a height over
existing grade no higher than an average one‐story building in the one‐story portion of the
development, and no higher than 28‐ft in the remainder of the development. For context, the
maximum single story height allowed in the LDRs in residential districts where story height is
regulated is 14‐ft. Staff considers therefore an average one story structure height from existing
grade to the midpoint of the roof would be less than 20 feet.
There is a maximum height of 28‐ft in this zoning district. The applicant has only indicated the
proposed number of stories. Staff considers that 28‐ft would not be acceptable for a one story
structure. To have a one story structure be the same effective height as the unrestricted
structures would show disrespect for the collaboratively developed set of rules.
5. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide height, measured to the midpoint of
the roof as required in the LDR, as part of the next application. Staff recommends the Board require
the height of one story buildings to be no greater than 18‐20 feet above average preconstruction
grade.
B) SOUTHEAST QUADRANT DISTRICT
The following general requirements of 9.06 are applicable to all sub‐districts.
6
A. Height. See Article 3.07.
(1) Heights of structures within the SEQ‐NRN sub‐district shall adhere to the standards of the
SEQ‐NR sub‐district except where limited by the requirements in Section 9.08.(C)(8).
See discussion above under dimensional standards.
B. Open Space and Resource Protection.
(1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities
for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels, creating or enhancing
stream buffer areas, or creating or enhancing buffers for primary or secondary natural
communities.
The open space is proposed to be located along the center of the development and consists of a
community recreation path and community garden. Staff considers the City’s acceptance of this lot
as a development parcel provides direction that the Board should find this criterion met.
(2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the
Regulating Plan for the applicable sub‐district, allowing carefully planned development at the
average densities provided in this bylaw.
The master plan settlement agreement allowed for up to 32 units on this parcel. 32 units are
proposed. Staff considers this criterion met.
(3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management
shall be established by the applicant. Such plan shall describe the intended use and maintenance
of each area. Continuance of agricultural uses or enhancement of wildlife habitat values in such
plans for use and maintenance is encouraged. Existing natural resources on each site shall be
protected through the development plan, including (but not limited to) primary natural
communities, streams, wetlands, floodplains, conservation areas shown in the Comprehensive
Plan, and special natural and/or geologic features such as mature forests, headwaters areas, and
prominent ridges. In making this finding the Development Review Board shall use the provisions of
Article 12 of this bylaw related to wetlands and stream buffers.
One application requirement is that the applicant submit “A written plan to preserve and protect
significant existing vegetation during and after construction. Such plan will be of sufficient detail
that the City of South Burlington will be able to inspect the site during construction to ensure that
existing vegetation is protected as per the plan.” The applicant has requested the Board grant a
waiver to allow the applicant to submit this plan at the final plat stage of review. Preservation of
existing vegetation around the perimeter of the site is discussed under 9.08D(2)(a) below.
6. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide both a construction phase vegetation
protection plan and a written open space management plan, including a plan for management of the
area outside the designated building footprints, as part of the final plat application.
(4) Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after
construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions
on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review
Board may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for
Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
Provision of an erosion prevention and sediment control plan is a requirement of final plat
application. Staff recommends the Board consider this criterion at the final plat stage of review.
7
(5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream,
or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible
with the surrounding landscape. The use of split rail or other fencing made of natural materials is
encouraged. Chain link fencing shall be prohibited except:
(a) fencing for agricultural purposes, and
(b) fencing for recreational purposes, such as baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball
courts, dog parks, or similar activities. Any chain link fencing installed for these purposes shall
be plastic coated in either dark green or black.
In all cases, proposed fences shall comply with this section and section 13.17 (Fences) of these
Regulations
The applicant has proposed split rail fence along all but a portion of the southern perimeter of
the property. There is one wetland located adjacent to the property, to which the proposed
stormwater treatment system discharges. This wetland is beyond the proposed fence by more
than 250 ft.
7. The applicant has not indicated whether the split rail fence is proposed to be two‐rail or three‐rail.
Staff recommends the Board discuss whether the selection is important to the Board.
C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through
development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans
that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing agricultural
operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for
agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community‐supported agriculture.
Provisions that enhance overall neighborhood and natural resource values rather than preservation of
specific soil types are strongly encouraged.
Staff considers the City’s acceptance of this lot as a development parcel provides direction that the
Board should find this criterion met.
D. Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review
Board that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development, the
location of buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned public
facilities as depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths, streets, park
land, schools, and sewer and water facilities.
No official map facilities are within the subject property.
(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity shall be available to meet the
needs of the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirements, as evidenced by
a City water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater
Permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The applicant estimates a water demand of 14,140 gpd and a wastewater flow of 7,101 gpd.
8. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide preliminary water and wastewater
allocations at the time of final plat application.
8
(2) Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting
shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and
infrastructure to adjacent properties.
(3) Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the
applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council.
The Director of Public Works reviewed the provided plans on May 20, 2020 and offers the following
comments.
1. Sheet 1 – The path labeled “New 8’ wide community rec path” that goes right through the
middle of the parcel needs to be 10’ minimum if it is to be publicly owned.
2. Sheet 1 – At station 10+00 I have concerns about sight distance to the east for cars exiting
the project road onto Park Road. Please have the applicant confirm adequate sight distances
for cars exiting the property and braking distances for westbound Park Road traffic exist.
3. Sheet 5 – Roadway Section Detail – please revise to show the pavement depth of the base
course to 2.5” and the wearing course to 1.5”.
4. Sheet 5 – Add a note to the Crosswalk Marking and the Intersection Detail stating that all
pavement markings are to be VTrans Type 1, Durable and approved by Public Works prior to
installation.
9. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to address these comments at final plat. With
respect to comment 2, Staff considers the applicant will need to revise the provided landscaping to
address this comment while still meeting the landscape buffering standards of the SEQ‐NRN.
10. Staff notes the applicant has proposed a 12‐ft wide gravel access drive to the proposed pump station
at Station 9+50. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide a driveable grass type
product for this access, and include mowing of this area in the open space management plan. Staff
considers such a treatment would allow for more consistent maintenance of this area and provide a
better appearance.
(4) The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire
protection can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to,
minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where
possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants.
The building inspector reviewed the plans on May 21, 2020 and offers the following comment.
Fire hydrants require 36” clearance in all directions and 10’ clearance for parking spaces.
11. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to address this comment at final plat.
E. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management
strategies sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on of adjacent roads and sufficient to create
connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles
between neighborhoods. . In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the
findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City
staff or consultants.
9
(1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services
and infrastructure to adjacent properties.
(2) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and
maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance
that has been approved by the City Council.
(3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D)(4) related to connections between adjacent streets and
neighborhoods shall apply.
The applicant has provided a typical roadway cross section indicating 26 ft of pavement with curbs
and a 5 ft concrete sidewalk separated from the pavement by a 5‐ft greenbelt. The right of way is
proposed to be 50‐ft wide. Staff considers these criteria met.
9.08 The following additional standards apply in the SEQ‐NRN.
(A) Street, block and lot pattern
(1) Development blocks. Development block lengths should be between 300 and 500
linear feet. Where unavoidable, blocks longer than 500 feet should include mid‐block
public sidewalk or recreation path connections.
The proposed road will be 1,020 ft long. It is approximately bisected by a recreation
path.
(2) Interconnection of Streets Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(3) Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the
property line and connected to adjacent parcels per section 15.12(D)(4) of these
Regulations. Posting signs with a notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly
encouraged.
Adjoining parcels not separated by an existing right of way are within the SEQ‐NRP zoning
district. Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(4) Lot ratios. Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio
of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended.
The applicant is not proposing to construct the buildings on their own lots. Staff considers
the proposed building configuration consistent with the intent of this criterion.
B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards
(1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) are
intended to be low‐speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are safe for
pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set forth in
Tables 9‐1 and 9‐2, and Figures 9‐4 and 9‐5 below.
Table 9‐2 requires 26‐ft of pavement, to include parking on one side. Staff considers this criterion
met.
(2) Sidewalks.
10
(a) Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet in width with an additional minimum five‐
foot planting strip (greenspace) separating the sidewalk from the street.
(b) Sidewalks are required on one side of the street.
Staff considers sidewalk criteria met.
(3) Street Trees
(a) Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet
wide.
(b) Street tree types shall be large, deciduous shade trees with species satisfactory to the
City Arborist. Street trees to be planted must have a minimum caliper size of 2.5 to 3 inches
DBH, and shall be planted no greater than thirty feet (30’) on center.
The City Arborist reviewed the plans on 5/20/2020 and offers the following comments.
Pin Oak is a poor selection on this site. Soils in this area of South Burlington are neutral to
slightly alkaline. Pin Oak requires acidic soil or it will suffer iron deficiency. Possible substitutes
are Swamp White Oak, Burr Oak or shingle Oak
Red Maple also requires acidic soil to prevent manganese deficiency
Recommend substitute for Canada Red Cherry. This tree is highly susceptible to black knot
disease.
Trees planted along the community rec path and access road should be moved a minimum of
6ft(preferably 10ft) off the path to provide rooting area and increase clearance over the path
Not really a landscape issue, but all relocations of the tree nursery have been completed, the
labeling for rows to be relocated and rows to be retained is opposite of what it should be
12. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to address these comments at final plat.
(3) On‐street parking. Sufficient space for one lane of on‐street parking shall be provided on all
streets except for arterials outside of the SEQ‐VC and SEQ‐VR sub‐districts. This requirement may
be waived within the SEQ‐NRN sub‐district provided the DRB finds sufficient off‐street parking has
been provided to accommodate the parking needs of the uses adjacent to the street.
The applicant has provided for on‐street parking. Staff considers this criterion met.
(5) Intersection design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing
distances and to slow traffic.
At the pedestrian crossing located mid‐block within the development, the applicant has proposed
bump outs to reduce pedestrian crossing width. The pedestrian crossings at the entrances to the
neighborhood cross the full roadway width. Staff considers this criterion met to the extent feasible.
(6) Street and sidewalk lighting. Pedestrian‐scaled light fixtures (e.g., 12’ to 14’) shall be
provided sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall
illumination levels should be consistent with the lower‐intensity development patterns and
character of the SEQ, with lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot‐spots) and light
trespass minimized to the lowest level consistent with public safety.
11
The applicant has provided 12 ft street lights at pedestrian crossings. Staff considers this criterion
met.
C. Residential Design
13. The applicant has provided elevations for the proposed buildings. Staff recommends the Board ask
the applicant to clarify which buildings may be located in which locations.
(1) Building Orientation. Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary entries
for single family and multi‐family buildings must face the street. Secondary building entries may
open onto garages and/or parking areas. (Special design guidelines apply to arterial streets; see
Section 9.11). A minimum of thirty‐five percent (35%) of translucent windows and surfaces should
be oriented to the south. In the SEQ‐NRN sub‐district, residential buildings should orient their
rooflines to maximize solar gain potential, to the extent possible within the context of the overall
standards of the regulating plan.
The Board requested front and rear elevations for the buildings with fronts on the new street and on
Dorset Street, which the applicant has provided on sheets A3.1, A2 and D2.
14. Staff considers the facades facing Dorset Street do not have a street‐facing presence and
recommends the Board require the applicant to enhance those facades.
15. It does not appear that 35% of translucent windows are oriented to the South. Staff recommends
the Board ask the applicant to estimate what percent of the total translucence faces south on the
proposed buildings to allow the Board to consider whether adequate attention has been given to this
criterion.
(2) Building Façades. Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation
approach. Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but façades should be
varied from one building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches, stoops, and balconies that
create semi‐private space and are oriented to the street are encouraged. In the SEQ‐NRN sub‐
district, residential buildings with rear facades that orient towards a public recreation path should
employ rear porches, balconies, or other features to enhance their architectural detail.
16. Staff considers it does not appear that rear oriented facades have been provided and recommends
the Board require the applicant to enhance these facades.
(3) Front Building Setbacks. A close relationship between the building and the street is critical
to the ambiance of the street environment.
(a) Buildings should be set back a maximum of twenty‐five feet (25’) from the back of
sidewalk.
Buildings along the side of the street with a sidewalk are proposed to be set back 20 ft from the
front of the sidewalk. Buildings along the side of the street without a sidewalk are proposed to
be set back more than 30 ft from the edge of the road.
17. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to reduce the distance between the road and the
buildings on the non‐sidewalk side to 25‐ft maximum.
(b) Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8’) into the front setbacks.
It does not appear the applicant has proposed to project these features into the front setbacks.
12
(4) Placement of Garages and Parking. For garages with a vehicle entrance that faces a front
lot line, the facade of the garage that includes the vehicle entrance must be set back a minimum
of eight feet (8’) behind the building line of the single or two‐family dwelling.
(a) For the purposes of this subsection:
(i) The building width of a single or two‐family dwelling, not including the garage,
shall be no less than twelve feet (12’), except for a duplex with side‐by‐side primary
entries, in which case the building width of each dwelling unit in the duplex, not including
a garage, shall be no less than eight feet (8’)
(ii) The portion of the single or two‐family dwelling that is nearest the front lot line
may be a covered, usable porch, so long as the porch is no less than eight feet (8’) wide.
For the buildings for which a floor plan was provided, this criterion appears to be met.
18. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to confirm compliance with this criterion at the
time of zoning permit application for each individual building.
(b) The DRB may waive this provision for garages with vehicle entries facing a side lot
line, provided that (i) the garage is visually integrated into the single or two‐family dwelling;
and (ii) the façade of the garage that is oriented to the street is no more than eight feet (8’) in
front of the façade of the house that is oriented to the street.
(c) Rear alleys are encouraged for small lot single‐family houses, duplexes and
townhouses.
No side facing garages or rear alleys are proposed.
(d) Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.),
sizes, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. These should
be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than
compartmentalized into sections of near‐identical units.
(i) Mix of Housing Styles, SEQ‐NRN sub‐district. A minimum of at least three (3)
housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), sizes, and/or affordability is required
within neighborhoods and developments. These should be mixed within blocks, along the
street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of near‐
identical housing styles. Where housing styles are repeated, different colors and/or
materials shall be employed to enhance variety.
19. The applicant has provided a design guidelines document which reiterates this standard, but it is not
readily apparent how this standard is proposed to be met. Staff recommends the Board ask the
applicant to provide more information on how the home mixture is proposed to be distributed.
D. Landscape and Fence Buffer Standards, SEQ‐NRN sub‐district
(1) Applicability and submission requirements. This section provides standards for the
landscaping of development within the SEQ‐NRN sub‐district. A landscape plan shall be included
as part of any preliminary and/or final plat application.
(2) Existing Vegetation
(a) Existing vegetation that can effectively serve as landscape buffer to potentially
13
incompatible uses and/or are significant, heathy trees shall be retained to the maximum
extent possible, while accommodating the permitted level of development.
The applicant has provided an existing tree inventory plan. It appears there are only a few trees
of greater than 6 in caliper within the landscape buffer and setbacks.
20. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to design their grading plan to retain these trees
to the maximum extent practical as part of the final plat application, and to provide a tree protection
plan at that stage of review. Staff considers such a tree protection plan may be incorporated into the
erosion prevention and sediment control plans.
(3) Landscape Buffer Types
(a) Type 0 – Low Height Vegetation. A Type 0 landscaping typically includes grass or
meadow area with foundation screening at the buildings. This type of buffer is intended to
provide separation between new buildings and the existing land uses.
(b) Type I ‐ Dense Plantings. A Type I landscaped buffer must be composed primarily of
continuous dense screening vegetation / hedge that will be at least five (5) feet in width and
grow to at least six (6) feet in height.
(c) Type II – Informal Plantings. A Type II landscaped buffer must be composed of a split
rail fence (or equivalent approved by the DRB), major trees, a partial understory of small
trees, and a berm with a mixture of shrub type plantings. The minimum amount of planting
per 100 horizontal feet of buffer shall be a full ground cover, two trees of at least 3” caliper,
three ornamental or understory trees of at least 2” caliper, and any combination of shrubbery
that occupies at least 50% of the area at the time of planting, all of which shall be distributed
throughout the minimum buffer width described in Table 9‐2A. With approval of the City
Council, up to 10 feet of the green space between a recreation path and a property line may
be used to enable the installation of the split rail fence and a portion of a berm.
The applicant has proposed Type I and Type II plantings where allowed in Table 9‐2A below.
21. Staff recommends the Board require the open space management plan, referenced above, to
include specific language detailing the required upkeep of these landscape buffer areas.
(4) Use of Berms. Earthen Berms. An earthen berm may be required to increase the
effectiveness of a landscaped buffer. The landscaping plan shall show the contours of the
proposed berm and one or more cross‐sections detailing its construction. The required buffer
width may be reduced by the height of the berm, up to a number of feet that shall not exceed 25%
of the required width, as provided in Table 9‐2A.
(a) Berms shall not exceed six feet (6’) in height.
(b) No berm shall have a slope greater than 3:1, except where a retaining wall is
used in accordance with these Regulations.
No berms are proposed.
(5) Delineation Fences. Any development proposed adjacent to a City park shall include a
fence delineating the separation of property lines, as depicted on Figure 9‐2A. Such fence shall be
of a split‐rail or similar variety.
A split rail fence is provided as discussed above.
(6) Permissible impervious surfaces in landscaped buffers.
14
(a) Crossings. Landscaped buffers may be crossed by driveways, roads, sidewalks, trails,
and utility lines, including necessary risers and boxes, serving the development. The width of
these crossings should be minimized.
(b) Light Standards. The bases of standards for approved outdoor lighting may be placed in
a landscaped buffer.
(c) Miscellaneous. Landscaped buffers may include retaining walls, planters, minor
impervious surfaces that are part of runoff and erosion control works; and sculptures or
other works of art.
22. A portion of the southern landscaped buffer contains a three‐foot deep stormwater conveyance
swale. Staff recommends the Board discuss whether such a stormwater conveyance, which will need
periodic maintenance, is allowable within the landscaped buffer. If it is not, the applicant should be
required to relocate the conveyance swale to the inside of the landscaped buffer.
(7) Supplemental setback standards, SEQ‐NRN sub‐district. In addition to the standards set
forth in Table C‐2, Dimensional Standards and this section, the requirements of Table 9‐2A shall
apply.

(5) Setbacks apply to all principal structures.
23. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to explicitly show compliance with the minimum
setback requirements. Otherwise Staff considers the requirements in this table have been met.
(8) Supplemental Height Standards, SEQ‐NRN sub‐district. In addition to the standards set
forth in Table C‐2, Dimensional Standards, residential structures shall be limited to a maximum of
one (1) total story within the areas marked as “1‐Story Building Area” on Figure 9‐2A.
Heights are discussed above.
15
C) SUBDIVISION STANDARDS
The general standards applicable to this subdivision are as follows.
(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the
project in conformance with applicable State and City requirements, as evidenced by a City
water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater Permit
from the Department of Environmental Conservation.
This Criterion was found met at a master plan level. See discussion under 9.06D(1) above.
(2) Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during construction and after
construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous
conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the DRB
may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for
Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
This criterion was found at the master plan level to need further review under applications for
individual phases. See discussion under 9.06B(4) above.
(3) The project incorporates access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to
prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. In making this finding the DRB may rely
on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical
review by City staff or consultants.
This criterion was found at the master plan level to need further review under applications for
individual phases. See discussion under 9.06E above.
(4) The project's design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams, wildlife
habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on the site.
In making this finding the DRB shall utilize the provisions of Article 12 of these Regulations
related to wetlands and stream buffers, and may seek comment from the Natural Resources
Committee with respect to the project's impact on natural resources.
Staff considers this criterion will be met when an open space management plan as discussed
under 9.06B(3) above.
(5) The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in
the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in
which it is located.
Staff considers the residential design criteria of 9.08C ensure compliance with this criterion.
(6) Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for
creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas.
These criteria were found to be met at master plan level but additional review at preliminary
plat approval was also required. See 9.06B(1) above.
16
(7) The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to
insure that adequate fire protection can be provided, with the standards for approval
including, but not be limited to, minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular
access from two directions where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure,
and number and location of hydrants. All aspects of fire protection systems shall be designed
and installed in accordance with applicable codes in all areas served by municipal water.
This criterion was found at the master plan level to need further review under applications for
individual phases. See discussion under 9.06D(4) above.
(8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting
have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and
infrastructure to adjacent properties.
(9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific
agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City
Council.
These criteria were found at the master plan level to need further review under applications for
individual phases. See discussion under 9.06D(2) and (3) above.
(10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for
the affected district(s).
This criterion was found to be met at master plan level but additional review at preliminary plat
approval was also required. Staff considers this criterion met.
D) SITE PLAN STANDARDS
General Site Plan Review Standards
A. Relationship of Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan.
Due attention by the applicant should be given to the goals and objectives and the stated land
use policies for the City of South Burlington as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
The project is identified in the comprehensive plan as an area of very low intensity to lower
intensity land use. However, the above referenced settlement agreement resulted in this
property being approved for development of up to 32 units. Therefore Staff considers the Board
obligated to respect this agreement regardless of the land use policies of the comprehensive
plan assuming the land can carry the approved development density outside of protected areas.
B. Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site.
17
(1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from
structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement,
and adequate parking areas.
Staff considers this criterion met.
(2) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable.
This criterion does not apply to single family and duplex homes.
(3) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and
scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or anticipated
adjoining buildings.
Staff considers the height and mix of housing types requirements of the SEQ‐NRN to ensure
compliance with this criterion.
(4) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior
alterations or building expansion shall, to the extent feasible, be underground.
Utilities are proposed to be underground.
C. Relationship of Structures and Site to Adjoining Area.
(1) The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common
materials and architectural characteristics (e.g., rhythm, color, texture, form or detailing),
landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions
between buildings of different architectural styles.
(2) Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to
existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed
structures.
Staff considers the SEQ standards, if met, will result in these criteria being met.
Specific Site Plan Review Standards
(A) Access to Abutting Properties. The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of
access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto
an arterial or collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to
improve general access and circulation in the area.
Staff considers no such access is necessary for the subject property, as it is bounded on all sides not
facing a street by a public park.
(B) Utility Services. Electric, telephone and other wire‐served utility lines and service connections shall
be underground insofar as feasible and subject to state public utilities regulations. Any utility
installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to
neighboring properties and to the site.
Aboveground elements of wire‐served utility services (ie pull boxes, transformers) are not shown at
this stage of review. Staff considers these features are required to be screened and recommends
the Board review compliance with this requirement at final plat.
18
(C) Disposal of Wastes. All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance
with any recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with
opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s). Small receptacles
intended for use by households or the public (ie, non‐dumpster, non‐large drum) shall not be
required to be fenced or screened.
Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(D) Landscaping and Screening Requirements. See Article 13, Section 13.06 Landscaping, Screening,
and Street Trees.
Section 13.06 standards do not apply to single and two family homes on their own lots. However, since
the applicant is proposing shared lots, these standards do apply, including minimum landscape budget.
The minimum required landscape value for the Project, based on an estimated building construction
cost of $7.039 million is $77,890. Staff notes the required minimum landscape budget is based only on
building cost, not other project costs. The applicant has proposed $101,200 buffer and foundation
plantings, and $28,400 in street trees. The comments of the City Arborist are provided above.
24. Staff considers the required minimum landscaping budget is likely to continue to be provided, and
the street tree planting requirements are met, but recommends the Board require the applicant to
provide updated information in response to the City Arborist’s comments.
E. Modification of Standards. Where the limitations of a site may cause unusual hardship in
complying with any of the standards above and waiver therefrom will not endanger the public
health, safety or welfare, the Development Review Board may modify such standards as long as
the general objectives of Article 14 and the City's Comprehensive Plan are met. However, with the
exception of side yard setbacks in the Central District 1, in no case shall the DRB permit the
location of a new structure less than five (5) feet from any property boundary and in no case shall
be the DRB allow land development creating a total site coverage exceeding the allowable limit
for the applicable zoning district in the case of new development, or increasing the coverage on
sites where the pre‐existing condition exceeds the applicable limit.
Staff considers the requested waivers allowable under this criterion.
E) OTHER
Energy Standards
Staff notes that all new buildings are subject to the Stretch Energy Code pursuant to Section 3.15:
Residential and Commercial Building Energy Standards of the LDRs.
E9‐1‐1 Addressing
25. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide an addressing plan, compliant with the
state guidelines, at the next stage of review. Staff is available to help the applicant understand the
requirements. Staff further recommends the Board require the applicant to provide a proposed street
name to the planning commission prior to submission of a final plat application to the Board.
19
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board discuss the project with the applicant and conclude the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
Waiver List
Please refer to SH 2 and SH 3 of the plan set for the designated preconstruction

Unit Design Guidelines
Wheeler Parcel, South Burlington, VT
The following requirements and guidelines shall be employed for the Wheeler Parcel project,
located on the northern corner of Park Road and Dorset Street
Zoning Requirements:
Homes must comply with the requirements of Article 9, Section C, of the City of South
Burlington Land Development Regulations, effective January 25, 2016:
(1) Building Orientation: Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary
entries for single family and multi‐family buildings must face the street. Secondary
building entries may open onto garages and/or parking areas. (Special design guidelines
apply to arterial streets; see Section 9.11). A minimum of thirty‐five percent (35%) of
translucent windows and surfaces should be oriented to the south. In the SEQ‐NRN sub‐
district, residential buildings should orient their rooflines to maximize solar gain
potential, to the extent possible within the context of the overall standards of the
regulating plan.
(2) Building Façades: Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation
approach. Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but façades
should be varied from one building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches,
stoops, and balconies that create semi‐private space and are oriented to the street are
encouraged. In the SEQ‐NRN sub‐district, residential buildings with rear facades that
orient towards a public recreation path should employ rear porches, balconies, or other
features to enhance their architectural detail.
(3) Front Building Setbacks: A close relationship between the building and the street is
critical to the ambiance of the street environment.
a) Buildings should be set back a maximum of twenty‐five feet (25’) from the back of
sidewalk.
b) Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8’) into the front
setbacks.
(4) Placement of Garages and Parking: For garages with a vehicle entrance that faces a front
lot line, the facade of the garage that includes the vehicle entrance must be set back a
minimum of eight feet (8’) behind the building line of the single or two‐family dwelling.
a) For the purposes of this subsection:
i. The building width of a single or two‐family dwelling, not including the
garage, shall be no less than twelve feet (12’), except for a duplex with side‐
by‐side primary entries, in which case the building width of each dwelling
unit in the duplex, not including a garage, shall be no less than eight feet
(8’).
ii. The portion of the single or two‐family dwelling that is nearest the front lot
line may be a covered, usable porch, so long as the porch is no less than
eight feet (8’) wide.
b) The DRB may waive this provision for garages with vehicle entries facing a side lot
line, provided that (i) the garage is visually integrated into the single or two‐family
dwelling; and (ii) the façade of the garage that is oriented to the street is no more
than eight feet (8’) in front of the façade of the house that is oriented to the street.
c) Rear alleys are encouraged for small lot single‐family houses, duplexes and
townhouses.
d) Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.),
sizes, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments.
These should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods
rather than compartmentalized into sections of near‐identical units.
i. Mix of Housing Styles, SEQ‐NRN sub‐district. A minimum of at least three (3)
housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), sizes, and/or affordability
is required within neighborhoods and developments. These should be mixed
within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than
compartmentalized into sections of near‐identical housing styles. Where
housing styles are repeated, different colors and/or materials shall be
employed to enhance variety.
Architectural Guidelines:
In addition to the zoning requirements, building models shall comply with these
architectural guidelines:
(1) Architectural variables that distinguish building models from one another include size
(width and depth), roof lines, exterior wall configuration, windows (size, location, grill
pattern, trim), siding type, porches, trim details like shutter and lintels, and garage
orientation. At least three of the architectural variables must differ to determine a
given building model is different from another. The same building model may not be
constructed on more than two adjacent sites. For each building type, the minimum
number of different models shall be as follows:
Building Type: Min Number of Models Max Number of Models
Single Family: 5 10
Duplex: 5 11
(2) Variables determining the exterior color palate of a home are primary siding color,
roofing color, trim color, and colored accents such as doors, shutters, and trim. To
determine that a given building model has a different color palate than another, the
primary siding color and at least one other variable must differ. The same color palate
shall not be used by adjacent buildings.
(3) In order to assist the Zoning Administrator in determining compliance with architectural
guidelines 1 and 2, when applying for a building permit, the applicant shall provide:
i. A plan of the development with already permitted homes labeled
ii. A color elevation, or as‐built photo, of the front elevations of already
permitted homes.

Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to write. I reviewed our tentative schedule and to date, no application (other than the
sketch plan heard on Jan 22) has been received. So, to answer your question, next week’s DRB hearing will not include
this project. And because of public hearing warnings, I can also confirm that if we do receive an application, it will not
be heard until at least May.
I have copied Marla Keene, our Development Review Planner, on this so that she can read it as part of her review and
provide to the Board if and when an application is submitted.

Good morning, Paul.
I dropped you a line yesterday and thought it might be best to give you my two concerns about the proposal as
understood. I'm not sure if there is a good way for me to participate in the discussion once this proposal appears on
you agenda, thus this message.
Please understand, I'm not fighting to stop the project. I only want to make it fit into the existing landscape.
1. Building height: I see that there are two single story homes at the top entrance, two along the first curve, and two
more by the bottom road entrance. That's nice, given visibility and view corridors, etc. However, I believe all the
homes on the east side of the road on the top entrance that border Dorset should also be single story buildings, as well
as the two by the same top entrance on the west side. Vision and views will be greatly obstructed without this
reduction.
The existing homes across the street, built a while ago, are all single story for this reason. No one wants to see two
story homes that close to Dorset St., nor do I as I travel on Park Rd. to and from my home on Golf Course Rd.
3
2. Traffic Patterns: Is there a reason why this proposal does not show an entrance further down Dorset St.? Why use
Park Rd.? Here's my concern. The top entrance lintersecton is a wind blown sheet of black ice most of the winter, or
covered with wind blown snow. It is very slick because that stretch of Park Rd. is exposed to the blowing snow. To
imagine vehicles stopping and turning into the new road and out onto Park Rd. without skidding is hard to see. That's a
dangerous first 100 yards of Park Rd., just where there does not need to be intersection.
Further, the lower entrance is at the bottom of an "S" curve hill, much steeper than shown on the sketch
plan. Everyone gains speed each way and negotiates the curves carefully. Again, to have an intersection at that point
could be dangerous as well. This winter, as in all winters, cars have ended up off the road there because they were
going too fast down the hill, either way, and skidded into the shoulder of grass or into the woods.
That's it, Paul. I'll visit the website to see how I can participate and present these two issues.

Hi Marla,
I hope you are well and working safely from home.
Since my home is quite close to the Wheeler Parcel (corner of Park Rd and Dorset St), I've taken some time to more
thoroughly review the current proposal for the 32 unit housing development there.
I would love to talk with you about this more by phone if you could call
me at 802‐862‐1901. This is my cell phone number. I have been on
various committees that have been involved in making recommendations for
this site and the adjacent Wheeler Nature Park. I would like to
continue to be a resource to the City for best sustainable development practices.
This is a gently sloping site containing several specimen oak trees and
a number of trees over 4" caliper. The largest of these trees are
along the ledge near the center portion of the site. I believe that
this site can be developed fully without damaging many of these trees, and that doing this would leave South Burlington
and Wheeler Nature Park, as well as the neighborhood much better off than if they were to be entirely cut down and
graded over, as appears to be the case in the current plan.
I am particularly concerned that a requirement to build a paved rec path through the center of the site is further
requiring extensive
regrading. A wood chip walking path would be a much more nature
friendly option that would not require extensive regrading.
This developer has met criteria to put in a mix of unit types, which is good. Now, additional attention needs to be paid
to protecting and preserving the magnificent large trees as well as protecting the habitat for small wildlife and birds that
currently exists in the middle and
edges of this site. While construction will disrupt everything, it
would be wonderful to leave more of the existing vegetation intact, as has been done in communities practicing more
sustainable building practices.
This project is a great opportunity to be an example of how development and nature can better co‐exist.
