Vallee, Inc. Dear Mr. Belair and Ms. Keene: JON T. ANDERSON ADMITTED IN VT janderson@primmer.com TEL: 802-864-0880 FAX: 802-864-0328 This letter accompanies a site plan revised based on discussions with the South Burlington Development Review Board on June 5, 2018. The site plan has been revised as follows: 1. The proposed building has been redesigned to eliminate any possibility for retail use on the lower floor. The building is now proposed to be 4,500 square feet. 2. The overall site coverage on both lots has been reduced to a maximum of 70%. 3. Vallee has designed a handsome, one -of -a -kind store building. Elevations accompany this letter. 4. The building includes a porch covering parking located easterly of the retail area. No parking is located between the building and Shelburne Road. Vallee has carefully considered other solutions that will eliminate parking between the building and Shelburne Road. For example, Marla has suggested that the "ramp" up from the level of the Hannaford shopping center be located on the westerly side of the building and that parking be located on this ramp below the level of the retail floor space. Traffic from the Hannaford center would then pass between the store building and the pumps. This and other alternative solutions do not work for one or more of the following reasons: 3455445.1 MAINE I NEW HAMPSHIRE I VERMONT I WASHINGTON, D.C. www.primmer.com Raymond Belair, Administrative Officer Marla Keene, P.E., Development Review Planner July 12, 2018 Page 2 a. They increase the distance and activity between the store and the pump area, reducing safety. b. They locate parking on a slope below the main floor of the store, making the proposed convenience store less convenient. C. They make available parking less visible so that the store site appears to be less convenient. 5. We continue to believe that the ordinance does not require PUD's to provide innovation in design and layout, efficient use of land and viability of infill development. These are the stated purposes for allowing PUDs—not criteria for judging whether a PUD should be allowed. Nevertheless, we believe the proposal addresses these goals. 6. Skip Hoechner will be available to discuss affordable housing issues. We look forward to seeing you on July 17.
