Szymanski City Manager WJS/b MFMnR A7MTTM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: GENEVIEVE MORGAN, DAVID and MICHAEL BRASSARD, and BRUCE BOUGHTON, Traffic Engineer DATE: MARCH 21, 1978 RE: SUBDIVISION APPLICATION, MORGAN PROPERTY, SOUTHERLY SIDE OF WILLISTON ROAD AGREED STATEMENT OF FACTS The undersigned wish by this Memorandum to place before the South Burlington Planning Commission an agreed upon Statement of Facts which have been arrived at to date through negotiations between themselves and through work sessions with Mr. Steve Page and Mr. Dick Ward. 1. David and Michael Brassard presently have purchase options on the property known asAl'sFrench Frys on the southerly side of Williston Road and on the property of J. R. Racine which adjoins the Al's French Frys property to the east. In addition, David and Michael Brassard have an option to buy all of the property owned by Genevieve Morgan situated southerly of the Al's French Frys property. These properties are shown more clearly on Subdivision application documents which have been presented to the South Burlington Planning Commission. 2. The Brassards and Genevieve Morgan propose a two lot subdivision with: (a) The property now occupied by Al's French Frys and as shown on the survey submitted with the Subdivision application as the first lot, and (b) The Midas lot and all of the remaining Morgan property as shown on the aforesaid s4)rvey comprising the second lot. i 3. Said subdivision will be served by a 60 foot right of way with a 22 foot paved travel way as shown on the aforesaid survey. Said right of way will be used by the Brassards, their heirs and assigns, and by Genevieve Morgan, her heirs and assigns. 4. The Brassard brothers agree that in the event they exercise their option on the Racine property and become owners thereof, that the Racine curb cuts now exiting on Williston Road will be closed and access will be limited to the aforementioned 60 foot right of way. 5. In the event, however, the Brassard brothers do not become the owners of the Racine property, they will nevertheless by contractual document satisfactory to the City of South Burlington permit its Planning Commission to impose ingress and egress to and from the Racine property by and through the 60 foot right of way previously mentioned. 6. Furthermore, Cenevieve Morgan agrees that at such time as the travel way shown within the 60 foot right of way is constructed and the Midas Muffler Shop as shown on the plans presented to the South Burlington Planning Commission is constructed, the easterly most curb cut serving Al's French Frys which now exists will be closed. 7. Cenevieve 2-;orga her agrees that at sue we as all of the remainder of her p y is fury developed f theanproperty not t of the Midas Piuffle elopmen�port�ionn hemiddle curb (' Rs7- CW cut as i now exosts serving Al's rench Frys will c ose. This agreement is o.�c not intended to impede and will not impede the Planning Co-mr.ission in the ierfor-:ance of its functions under site plan review to deal with the Al's :re_:ch rrys property in the event that that property is in issue before tl:Lm through site plan review or some future use. 3. C,Unevieve No urther agrees that at �ej, at the riddle curb cut now menu' Z's French Frys is close e provisions ncnt above aSrapn, than the most wes y curb ow se 1's French Frys will be converted for ri^ht-t Tri-in traffic only. 99. renc--vieve :,:-tr-ar the iirassards Zr_rec t`:at t1ne cc=ron boundary 1 ine bet4'eell the Al':- "c::icl: "r;'s property and the ; rorosed ':idas property will be strair`.(_.:e:i t' rt t%c irreg:;lsr lip of land s�iovn on plans pre,*iously sub itte..' i•.._1 1_ c.ii;.inatcd. 1G. .ne bratc_-rs further &-.ree that i_11-rova_l of the subdivision ;, lication pro -posed I or usi• by then -:s n ':Kr.s `.lu`iler :'hop will be linitee f •r use as a I•Sic:r_s ::u.`.fler Sion.

Houghton, Traffic Engineer, states that he has taken additional ,.1fore:4tic over and above the information fathered by 1•:r. Fichard Ward and s}iown on iir. Ward's rier.o of 'larch 1, 1978, and is on that I-asis able to confirm "r. 1;ard's find#hes that the Midas *.'uffler Shop is a low traffic generator Pith tripfi distributed throughout its hours of operation with some ninor peaking is the a.rs. and p.m. Yr. Houghton estimates the a.m. peak; hour trips to be 27 trips entering and 9 trips exiting, and estimates the p.m. peak hour trips to be 9 trips entering and 27 trips exiting. 12. Mr. Broughton further states that the intended use of the Morgan property as a location for a Fidas Muffler Shop is a use which generates far less traffic than any use now permitted under business retail for which the area is zoned. � f' r 13. Mr. Houghton further states that he was in communication with the Vermont Department of, Highways and the contractor (Lafayette -Sheldon, Inc.) from whom he determined that construction of the improvements to the Dorset Street -Williston Road intersection will begin on April 24, 1978 and will be completed by July 1, 1978. 14. Mr. Houghton further states that based upon his previous involve- ment in the design of the Williston Road -Dorset Street improvements, his current intersection capacity analysis using trips generated by the Midas Muffler Shop indicates a possible 0.5-1.0 percent increase in level of capacity for the Williston Road northwest approach and a possible 1.5-3.0 percent increase in level of capacity for the Williston Road southeast approach. This projected increase in level of capacity will be available after completion of the Williston Road -Dorset Street intersection improvements. 15. Mr. Houghton further states that an intersection capacity analysis of the Williston Road -Hinesburg Road-Patchen Road intersection using estimated trips to be generated by the Midas Muffler Shop during peak periods indicates a 1.5-3.0 percent increase in level of capacity for the Williston Road northwest approach and a 0.5-1.0 percent increase in level of capacity for the Williston Poad southeast approach. This projected increase in level of capacity will still allow the Williston Road approaches to operated within acceptable limits. 16. Mr. Boughton further states that the potential for creating a signalized intersection with Williston P.oad, the 60 foot Midas access roadway so-called, and a possible realignment of hrrite Street would improve traffic conditions on Williston Road by developing the Movement of vehicles in platoons. Platooning of vehicles creates larger time space gaps in the flow of traffic.

MARCOTTE PRINCIPAL JUDITH P. KOPLEWITZ GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Mr. Dick Ward South Burlington Zoning Board South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Mr. Ward, MRS. ELOISE CONRAD SECRETARY March 3, 1978 This letter is in reference to our discussion relative to the building of a Midas Muffler Shop on Williston Road, and its possible affect on Central School. It is my opinion that such an establishment would have no adverse affect on the learning atmosphere at Central School and, therefore, have no objection to such a building. I do appreciate the opportunity to have discussed this matter with you, and thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Leo M. LeCours Acting Principal cc/Mr. Fred 1luttle
