The single entrance should serve the Dorset Street undeveloped parcel if it is planned to be developed. 4. Size and location of water service should be shown. 5. If night lighting is planned a cut-off time should be agreed upon. 6. There should be some street lights included. 7. Will the entire area be fenced in? If not an entrance gate should be included. Respectfully submitted, William Jf S anski, City Manager MEMORANDUM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: RICHARD WARD, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR RE: PRE -HEARING COMI-IENTS, SITE PLAN REVIEW OF RAMADA IM, I.C.V. OFFICE BUILDING AND DESLAURIERS TENNIS CLUB DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1976 RAMADA INN ADDITION 1. Addition is in conformance with zoning regulationswith the exception of the landscaping. (Section 11.7011. Minimum planting cost required $9,900, proposed planting cost $6,000. Applicant requesting modifications to planting requirement under Section 11.701 which allows Planning Commission to do so. 2. In addition to new plantings proposed, I would recommend some plantings within the front yard. (Such as maples, locust at a caliper of 2" or larger.) 3. In accordance with Chapter IX - Transportation section of the City Master plan, a 15 foot right-of-way should be given to the City paralleling Williston Road to provide for future service or frontage roads. Recommend Attorney Spokes draft property agreements and they be completed prior to the issuance of a permit. �+. Soil conditions - Adams and Windsor loamy sands -0 to 5p slopes municipal sewer and water available. DESLAURIERS TEN17VIS & SWIM CLUB 1. recreational facility is conditional use, proposed tennis and swim club approved by Zoning Board of Adjustment. 2. Area is zoned B.P.D. District, minimum lot requirement 80,000 square feet, minimum frontage 200 feet at present entire 12 acre lot is involved with this use. If -a sub- division should occur in the future, it is recommended that this proposed use set off a lot in total conformance with the dimensional requirements. Entrance to facility is shown at 60 feet, if divided minimum frontage should I - 2 - be 200 feet. 3. Area is entirely wooded with maple, birch. Recommend that the County Forester or the City Tree Committee work with the developer regarding saving all trees possible. 4. Phase development is planned by Mr. DesLauriers - recommend that Planning Commission consider approval by phase, in order to evaluate the impact in the future. 5. Proper screening should be provided to residential properties of Woodside and Oakwood Drive if the existing tree cover is left as is. 6. Soil Conditions - Adams and Windsor loamy sands, 5 to 12% slo.pes, municipal facilities available. OFFICE COMPLEX I.C.V. 1. This proposal is in conformance with zoning regulations with exception of parkin. requirements. 20,000 scuare feet of office area requires 100 parking spaces; P1 are proposed. Planning Commission can waiver up to 50% under Section 13.40. In order to provide the 100 spaces, parking would be located in the front yard, other alternative would be to increase the lot size. 2. Subdivision application should be considered as soon as possible. At present 38 acres of land is involved. Future division would be two commercial lots along Williston Road and one large lot for residential along Kennedy Drive. 3. Existing curb cuts should be closed, bonding required for this. 4. Performance bonds as specified under Section 11.701 to be posted. Same applies to Ramada Inn addition and DesLauriers tennis club. 5. Hinesburg fine sandy loam, 0 to 3% slope plus Enosburg and Whately soils, 0 to 3%, municipal sewer and water available. TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN PAGE, PLANNING ASSISTANT RE: NEXT MEETINGS AGENDA ITEMS DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1976 1) Proposed Zoning Amendments With several projects at varying stages of the approval - building process, it should be made clear which, if any, will be subject to conditional use review. Also, the effect of these amendments on existing uses should be determined. I expect to have some input from Dick Spokes on these questions, prior to Tuesday's meeting. Also, a definition of convenience/ variety stores may be needed, which I will attempt to draft prior to the meeting, if needed. 2) Site Plan for Tennis/Swimming Facility (DesLauriers) on Dorset Street The Comprehensive Plan calls for widening of Dorset Street - a commitment on land for road widening may be desirable. The alignment of the entrance with San Remo Drive is desirable, though probably not justified by this project (assumed to be a warm weather operation only) alone; however, in anticipation of future subdivision of this land, I feel this alignment should be considered. jPedestrian access to the project from the adjoining resi,�ent al areas would be helpful, if it does not pose security problems for the facility. Storm drainage should be reviewed by the City Engineer..-> 3) Site Plan for Office Building (I.C.V.) on Williston Road The applicant is receptive land for road widening. The c gas station curb cut across th access to anticipated commerci the corner of Williston Road a potential for service access t building which could connect t that the overwhelming majority this area is through traffic, conflicting turning movements; will certainly have an impact. in back, storm drainage should to the idea of a commitment on urb cut shown aligns with the e street and would also provide al use of the abutting land at nd Kennedy Drive. There is a o the rear of the proposed o abutting properties. It appears of 'illiston Road traffic in and there are relatively few however, the impact of Digital Because of the very steep bank be reviewed, and measures - 2 - to prevent excessive erosion and siltation during construction should be considered. 4) Site Plan for Ramada Inn Addition The site benefits from fL_lly right turn access off of the Interstate, the only possible problem arising -from traffic leaving the'Ramada to get back to the Interstate. Making the westerly curb cut one way in, and the easterly one (which lines up with the Lamplough property, and has some potential for signalization) one way out, could improve access, in the long run. The intended use of the strip of land connecting to Mary Street should be determined. I personally feel that some of the required landscaping money would be well spent on improving the aesthetic appearance of the fence (Maginot line?). 5) Nowland Farm Subdivision This proposal relates primarily to the Transportation, Recreation, and Aesthetics sections of the Comprehensive Plan. Major considerations include bike lanes, widening, and scenic turn outs on Spear Street, a proposed east -west connector road in the vicinity of lot #7, and a pedestrian trail through the property being subdivided and along the Horticultural Farm boundaries. Utility easements, such as sewer, should be provided for all proposed lots, and tc serve the remaining back land. The land to be subdivided is bounded on the north by the Potter development (in the process of foreclosure) and a City Park, and on the south by Ireland's Meadowood at Spear Development. Some provision should be made for interconnection with these properties in terms of utilities and pedestrian and vehicular access. Some degree of curb cut consolidation should be required, in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan and to main- tain a consistent policy (recall the Unsworth subdivision on Spear Street). The dedication of land should be discussed because the ultimate development of this farm can be anticipated within the foreseeable future; also, the most remote part of the property being subdivided abuts a City Park, the use of which is heavily restricted by covenants. Because of the extreme irregularity of the property lines, the current zoning restrictions, and the present character of the neighborhood, the layout of the proposed lots appears to be quite reasonable; however, it would be preferable to have the large remaining parcels of the property planned and developed as units, with integrated circulation and utility systems. �---"r�{ rZz2�V�D � • l-�`' 1*r Z (�� — 140 cum.
