Re: Filling Neil & Diane Cone Property - 4090 Williston Road
(Palmer Court)
Date: May 23, 1996
Filling plan received May 26, 1996 is acceptable. The area is
wooded. Trees in fill area shall be cut and removed. Only clean
fill shall be used. Being in a shaded area with a northerly
exposure, a growth would be difficult to establish so the slope
should be rip -raped with stone or broken concrete.
A silt barrier shall be maintained throughout the filling
period.

them by the Commission. He said that if a hearing can be set
soon, the Council can have both versions before them when
they vote. Ms. Ratkus said she thought it was unfair that
this petition wasn't brought to earlier meetings. Mr.
Burgess explained this may have been due to the fact that the
Chairman of the Commission has been out of town for a month
and apparently his mail has not reached the Commission. He
added that the Commission must, nevertheless, act as the
Statutes dictate. Mr. Burgess asked Mr. Weith to get an
opinion from the City Attorney as to the Commission's options
and obligations during the public hearing. Ms. Pugh said the
Commission should also know the full process so the public
can be informed what will happen next.
4. Sketch Plan application of Tony Lafayette for construction
of a 3-unit residential building on a 21,062 sq. ft. parcel,
125 White Street.
Mr. Lafayette said this is the 4th property down from Patchen
Rd. on the south side of White St. The present house is in
rough shape with a bad foundation. He wants to demolish the
house and garage and build 3 townhouse condos. The middle
unit will be set back to break up the roof line. There are
two 4-unit apartment houses on adjoining lots. A 3-car
covered garage is proposed with a crushed stone driveway.
There will parking for 5 cars in front. A condo association
would be formed. Mrs. Maher noted that a wider entrance
drive has been recommended. Mr. Lafayette said he has no
problem with making the drive 24 ft. wide with a more uniform
curve, as the City Manager recommends. Mr. Weith noted the
Fire Chief wants 18 ft. to the garage so he can set up his
trucks.
$4500 landscaping is required. The present plan proposes
$1700. There are some existing trees and lilac bushes that
could be credited. Members agreed to have the Planner
calculate a value for existing landscaping. Mr. Lafayette
noted the existing sidewalk will remain. Ms. Pugh suggested
Mr. Lafayette talk with neighbors and get their feelings.

Ms. Peacock moved the Planning Commission approve the Site
Plan application of Robert & Sheila Rochefort for operation
of a retail tire and service center in an existing 4800 sq.
ft. building as depicted on a plan titled "Lot #5, Muddy
Brook Industrial Park, South Burlington, Vermont" prepared bV
Richard McSheffrey and dated September, 1988 last revised
11/15/88 with the following stipulations:
1. This approval is based upon expressed representation of
the applicant that:
a) all old tires shall be stored in the fenced storage
area
b) there shall be no sale of gasoline
c) there shall be no storage of vehicles longer than 30
days — — — —
d) there shall be no sale of automobiles
e) there shall be no trailers used for storage
2. A $4—� 3-year landscape bond shall be posted prior to
permit. The dying pine tree along Palmer Court shall be
replaced 1?y a healthy 6-foot pine tree.
3. The parking lot shall be designed so that the portion of
the lot south of the building shall drain to the east.
4. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months or
this approval is null and void.
Mr. Craig seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
6. Consider going into executive session to discuss the
proper review for planned commercial developments
Mr. Poger protested the planned executive session as it did
not meet the criteria for executive sessions but was merely a
procedural discussion.
Mr. Weith noted the definition of pcd's includes commercial &
industrial uses with one owner and a number of businesses.
This means that projects such as those on Ethan Allen Drive
would have to be reviewed in this way because of the in-
dustrial uses. The intent of the language is to review
shopping centers, retail pcds, etc., through the subdivision
regulations.
Mrs. Maher then moved that the South Burlington Planning Com-
mission hold —public hearings for the purpose of amending its
subdivision regulations to authorize subdivision review of

$5,000 letter of credit which would be used toward improvements
to this intersection some time in the future (see enclosed
10/12/82 minutes). Therefore, GMP was required to pay some type
of impact fee in 1982. This fee was based on GMP's fair share
which was based on a traffic study conducted by Joe Oppenlander.
The analysis was based upon an estimate of trips generated by 107
employees. There are now approximately 170 employees at GMP.
Therefore, one could say that GMP should pay an additional fee
for the trips generated by the additional 67 employees. 1 would
assume the proposed parking lot expansion is needed to
accommodate the additional employees.
I have been talking with Dick Ward to see if GMP ever posted the
letter of Credit and whether it is still binding. We are still
looking into this.
If the Planning Commission were to ask me to derive a fair impact
fee based on GMP's increase in employment, I would say $794.
This is based on the 31 peak hour trips generated by the 63
additional employees since opening.
However, I am not comfortable assessing GMP an impact fee in this
situation. First, the City's impact fees are generally
calculated based upon square footage of development. Secondly,
there is no way to assess impacts fees for businesses increasing
employment unless they happen to come in for a parking lot
expansion. Third, this raises the question of whether the City
should reimburse businesses when there is a layoff of employees.
Fourth, the improvements for which GMP was required to post a
$5,000 letter of credit are different from the proposed
improvements to Green Mountain Drive/Shelburne Road intersection
which are included in the Shelburne Road Intersection Improvement
Fund. It is not clear if any other developments on Green
Mountain Drive or Bartlett Bay Road were required to pay their
fair share of the improvements for which GMP was assessed. i
will look into this.
3) LOT 5, MUDDY BROOK INDUSTRIAL PARK, PALMER COURT
Robert and Shiela Rochefort propose to operate a retail tire and
service center in an existing 4,800 square foot building. Phis
building was formerly used by SCI Communications which sold and
stored telephone equipment. The building has been vacant, for a
few months.
The tire and service center would use 1 , 600 -;gii art- feet for a

tire showroom and 3,200 square foot for the service area and
warehousing. The service area would be used to do basic auto
repair work such as front end work, alignments and the
installation of tires. No gas would be sold.
The property is bounded on the east, by Palmer Court, on the south
by Williston Road, on the west by Muddy brook and on the north by
lot 4-of the industrial park which is currently vacant.
Access/Circulation: Access would remain from the 46 foot wide
curb cut on Palmer Court. Circulation is adequate and is
provided on the east and south sides of the building.
Parking: The plan shows twenty 10' x 20' parking spaces. The
Zoning Ordinance requires 17 spaces for the proposed use.
The plan shows that the parking lot will be gravel. Based on my
conversations with the applicant, I believe the lot will be
paved. If so, the plan should be revised to correctly reflect
this.
Landscaping: The project can technically require $450 in new
landscaping since the applicant will be conducting approximately
$15,000 in construction related improvements to the building.
However, the property was landscaped as a condition of site plan
approval for the existing building (March, 1983). I would
recommend that the applicant be required to replace one of the
pines in front of the building which appears to be dying and seed
and mulch the lawn area surrounding the parking lot.
The plan does riot clearly show where the limits of the paved area
will be on the northern portion of the site. The plan should be
revised to show where pavement will be and where green space will
be in this portion of the lot.
Also, the plan does not correctly' reflect the existing
landscaping on the site. The plan shows five 12 foot high pines
along Palmer Court.. There are only four pines in this area and
only two of them are 12 feet high while the other two are
approximately 6 feet high. Additionally, there are rive 2 inch
caliper maples (or maybe Oak) along the south side of the
existing parking area. 'These are not shown on the plan. If
these maples will be disrupted by the proposed parking lot, they
should be relocated and the plan should be revised to indicate
1.his.

the limits of the paved area in the northern por.•t.ion of the
property is not shown, it is unclear exactly whatthe front yard
coverage is. Based on a worst -case estimate, it appears the
front ,yard coverage is approximately 37% (max.i.mum 30% allowed).
Traffic- 'Phis 99,150 square foot lot is Iocated jn zone 5 of the
Traffic Overlay District and, as a result., is allowed 112 trip
ends.- The applicant estimates that the proposed use wi.11.
generate 6 trips during the peak hour. Based on I.T.E. trip
generation rates, the proposed use would generate 39 trips. This
estimate, however, is based on service stations with pumps. The
I.T.E. manual does not contain average trip rates for service
stations without pumps. Since the proposed use would not include
pumping gas, the likely trip generation should be less than 39
during the peak hour. Regardless, the proposed use should easily
meet the 112 maximum peak hour trips allowed for the property.
Other: See Bill Szymanski's and Chief' Goddette's comments.
4) PUBLIC HEARING; TWO LOT SUBDIVISION, 1342 SHELBURNE ROAD
Dennis Blodgett proposes to subdivide a 7.3 acre parcel into two
parcels of 2.9 and 4.4 acres. The 2.9 acre parcel fronts
Shelburne Road and is Zoned C-1. The 4.4 acre parcel is located
behind the 2.9 acre parcel and will be accessed by the proposed
Holmes Road Extension. The 4.4 acre parcel is zoned R-4. The
plat shows a strip of land running through the southern portions
of both parcels which will be dedicated to the City for the
Holmes Road Extension.
On May 10, 1988, the Planning Commission approved Dennis
Blodgett's site plan application for construction of a 29,424
square foot building for office and retail uses. This building
is located on the 2.9 acre parcel. On 8/17/88, the Planning
Commission approved final plat application for an .1.8 unit planned
residential development. which is located on the 4.4 acre parcel.
Coverage: The approved commercial use on the proposed 2.9 acre
parcel meets building, front yard and total lot coverage
requirements. The approved planned residential development on
the proposed 4.4 acre parcel meets building and total lot.

his concern was for the future. If they have a layoff, would
they get a rebate on what they contributed. A poll of the
Commission revealed the following: Mr. Craig said any new
plan would be charged an impact fee based on the number of
trip ends they generated, regardless of how they might expand
in the future. He felt the $5,000 covers this parking lot
expansion and that it should be renewed with no additional
impact fee. Mr. Burgess said the $5000 is for a project the
State will do at some time. The impact fee would be for
other improvements on Shelburne Rd. not covered by the State
project. Ms. Pugh said she agreed with Mr. Craig. Mrs.
Maher felt the $5,000 should be renewed. Mr. Burgess agreed
as did Mr. Belter and Ms. Peacock.
Mr. Weith also noted that the Heindel & Noyes study is not
complete yet. The Commission agreed to let the City Engineer
deal with the study.
Ms. Peacock moved the Planning Commission approve the Site
Plan application of Green Mountain Power Corporation for con-
struction of a 61 space parking lot expansion as depicted on
a 3 page set of plansentitled "Green Mountain Power
Corporation Headquarters Parking Lot Expansion," prepared
Fitzpatrick -Llewellyn, Inc, and dated June 1988, last revised
10/20/88 with the following stipulations:
1. No construction may begin until the hydrologic impact
study conducted 12y Heindel & Noyes Inc, has been submitted to
and approved by the City Engineer.
2. Any new lighting shall be downcast luminere.
3. The applicant shall be required to continue its obligation
for an additional term not to exceed 5 years, ending 1 Novem-
ber 1992, as agreed to in the "Payment Guarantee" dated
11/3/82.
Ms. Pugh seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
3. Site plan application of Robert & Sheila Rochefont for
operation of a retail tire and service center in an existing
4800 sq. ft. building, lot 5, Muddy Brook Industrial Park,
Palmer Court
Mr. Rochefort said the building was previously occupied by
SCI Communications. They plan to use the building with just
a few changes. They will add overhead doors on the side
toward Muddy Brook Rd. Office space will be turned into a
salesroom. Mrs. Maher asked if there will be odds and ends
and parts of cars all over the lot. Mr. Rochefort said they

do not repair wrecked cars and there will be no sale or
storage of cars. They also will not sell gasoline. Junk
tires are taken to a site in Shelburne. The Zoning Board has
said they must build a fenced area to store the tires in till
they go to Shelburne. They also have a box -type trailer
where they store new tires. They don't plan to move it.
Mrs. Maher noted that means additional square footage. Mr.
Burgess aid there are a lot of places with a trailer as a
permanent facility which was not counted into the square
footage. He added these trailers are usually an eyesore. He
felt the Commission could prohibit them. Mr. Craig said he
would like to hear from the City Attorney on this. Members
agreed they wanted the lot paved. Mrs. Maher said they would
need a revised plan for that. The plan should also show ad-
equate landscaping and drainage. Mr. Burgess noted there is
an on -site sewage system and it should be noted the
leechfield is on a different lot. Mr. Rochefort said they
have an option on the property which expires tomorrow.
Members felt they could give the applicant an idea of what he
would have to do to get approval, and he could decide about
his option based on that. Ms. Peacock raised the question of
front yard coverage. Mr. Burgess said the front yard would
have to be defined and there would have to a paving plan
showing 70% green space. Mr. Weith noted 37% is covered in
the present plan. Members had no problem on this lot because
so much of the lot is unusable. Mrs. Maher said she would
like to see a true reflection of what trees are actually
there.
Mrs. Maher moved to continue the application. Mr. Belter
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

to discuss
the
comments and concerns
raised by the Planning
Commission
at
the
11/1/88 meeting. We
went over the plan and
he
has agreed
to revise the plan to show
limits of pavement, limits of gravel
area, tire storage area,
correct representation
of
landscaping,
and
a note indicating that
the building is served
by
an on -site sewage
disposal system.
We also met with Bill Szymanski regarding the paved parking lot.
Bill did not see a problem with drainage or a need i'or a
detention basin. His only comment was that the portion of the
paved lot south of the building should be graded so that it
drains to the east, toward Muddy Brook.
3) RANDY BERARD, AMENDMENT TO 8-101' SUBDIVISION, ETHAN ALLEN
DRIVE
Randy Berard proposes to amend the 8-lot industrial subdivision
on Ethan Allen Drive which was approved by the Planning
Commission on 9/20/83. The proposed amendment is to subdivide
lot 7 (3 acres) into two lots of approximately 2 acres and one
acre. The new 2 acre parcel would remain as lot 7 while the new
one acre lot would become lot 9. An existing dwelling and barn
is located on lot 7. The lots are bounded by Ethan Allen Drive
on the north and Commerce Avenue on the south.
Lot size/frontage: The lots are zoned Industrial -Commercial.
Lot frontage would be 262 feet for lot 7 and 120 feet for lot 9,
both of which meet minimum lot frontage requirements. Both lots
also meet minimum lot size requirements.
Access: Access to both .Lots could be provided from either Ethan
Allen Drive or Commerce Avenue.
Sewer Water: A water line currently runs along Ethan Allen
Drive. The location of this water line should be shown on the
plat. A sewer line is presently being put. in along Commerce
Avenue. Additionally, a sewer line will he put in Ethan Allen
Drive when this street is improved.
Other: See Bill Szymanski's and Chief' Goddette`s comments.

them by the Commission. He said that if a hearing can be set
soon, the Council can have both versions before them when
they vote. Ms. Ratkus said she thought it was unfair that
this petition wasn't brought to earlier meetings. Mr.
Burgess explained this may have been due to the fact that the
Chairman of the Commission has been out of town for a month
and apparently his mail has not reached the Commission. He
added that the Commission must, nevertheless, act as the
Statutes dictate. Mr. Burgess asked Mr. Weith to get an
opinion from the City Attorney as to the Commission's options
and obligations during the public hearing. Ms. Pugh said the
Commission should also know the full process so the public
can be informed what will happen next.

of a 3-unit residential building on a 21,062 sq.

construction
ft. parcel,
Mr. Lafayette said this is the 4th property down from Patchen
Rd. on the south side of White St. The present house is in
rough shape with a bad foundation. He wants to demolish the
house and garage and build 3 townhouse condos. The middle
unit will be set back to break up the roof line. There are
two 4-unit apartment houses on adjoining lots. A 3-car
covered garage is proposed with a crushed stone driveway.
There wil A�arking for 5 cars in front. A condo association
would be formed. Mrs. Maher noted that a wider entrance
drive has been recommended. Mr. Lafayette said he has no
problem with making the drive 24 ft. wide with a more uniform
curve, as the City Manager recommends. Mr. Weith noted the
Fire Chief wants 18 ft. to the garage so he can set up his
trucks.
$4500 landscaping is required. The present plan proposes
$1700. There are some existing trees and lilac bushes that
could be credited. Members agreed to have the Planner
calculate a value for existing landscaping. Mr. Lafayette
noted the existing sidewalk will remain. Ms. Pugh suggested
Mr. Lafayette talk with neighbors and get their feelings.
5. Continuation of Site Plan Application of Robert & Sheila
Rochefort for operation of a retail tire and service center
in an existing 4800 sq. ft. building, lot #5 Muddy Brook
Industrial Park, Palmer Court.
Mr. Rochefort said the drive will be paved. The City
Engineer said there should be no problem with this. There
will be a 5-foot green space adjacent to lot #4. The City
Engineer is also satisfied with drainage. Mr. Weith noted
the trailer will be prohibited, and an area for tire storage

11/15/88 with the following stipulations:
1. This approval is based upon expressed representation of

a all old tires shall be stored in the fenced storage
area
b) there shall be no sale of gasoline
c) there shall be no storage of vehicles longer than 30
days — — — —
d) there shall be no sale of automobiles
e) there shall be no trailers used for storage
2. A $4503-year landscape bond shall be posted prior to

replaced by a healthy 6-foot pine tree.
3. The parking lot shall be designed so that the portion of
the lot south of the building shall drain to the east.
4. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months or
this approval is null and void.
Mr. Craig seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
6. Consider going into executive session to discuss the
proper review for planned commercial developments
Mr. Poger protested the planned executive session as it did
not meet the criteria for executive sessions but was merely a
procedural discussion.
Mr. Weith noted the definition of pcd's includes commercial &
industrial uses with one owner and a number of businesses.
This means that projects such as those on Ethan Allen Drive
would have to be reviewed in this way because of the in-
dustrial uses. The intent of the language is to review
shopping centers, retail pcds, etc., through the subdivision
regulations.
Mrs. Maher then moved that the South Burlington Planning Com-
mission hold public hearings for the purpose of amending its
subdivision regulations to authorize subdivision review of

these plans are acceptable. Mr. Poger confirmed that Mr. Spitz enforces the
standards for minimally accepted plans.
The motion with the two amendments carried with a unanimous vote.
Regional Planning Commission Report
The Planning Commission departed from the printed agenda for a report
from South Burlington's representative to the Chittenden County Regional
Planning Commission, Mr. Barry Carris. Mr. Carris reported that the pro-
posed Velco power line would mostly affect communities surrounding South
Burlington, but that South Burlington should keep an eye on it.
The Regional Planning Commission is now going to identify the priority
capital improvement plans. Mr. Poger stated that he felt the city should
be able to set its own priorities.
Another item of concern to South Burlington is that the power plant
bridge in Essex will need to be rebuilt. During construction of the new
bridge, a temporary bridge would have to be built. In order to save money,
the Regional Planning Commission suggested that all efforts should be made
to expedite the circumvential highway bridge.

2) Muddy Brook
C
Application is for a 4800 square foot building for light manufacturing
and storage on lot 5 of Muddy Brook Industrial Park. This is the third of
the Muddy Brook lots to be developed.
This lot slopes steeply to the brook, and considerable fill has already
taken place to make the lot usable. The applicant recently received a 4 foot
front yard variance from the Zoning Board so as to allow him to build with no
further fill.
Parking and circulation seem adequate. However, the "top of bank" line
should be extended on the plan to verify that the south and east sides of the
parking lot are buildable.
A large portion of required tree plantings is shown on the Muddy Brook
side so as to stabilize the bank. In satisfaction of the landscaping re-
quirement, more plantings should be considered on the more visible south and
west sides of the property.
Apparently, a septic system will be shared with the adjacent lot to the
north since there is no available room on this lot. Complete information will
have to be provided before a building permit may be issued.
3) Westinghouse
Application is for a 12,300 square foot warehouse and office building on
lot 3 of the Bartlett property, just east of the Portland Glass building. There
will be joint access for this lot and the undeveloped lot 2.
The applicants have submitted a very professionally -prepared site plan, and
I have no comments or concerns.
4) Sewer Allocation Extensions
All three of these projects have already made substantial site improvements
and have made reasonable progress towards completion. I recommend the follow-
ing extensions.
