The Commission unanimously decided to re- move the section of trail between your properties from the trail network but to retain the easement legally. I realize that you did not have the opportunity to discuss this personally with the Commission except through your letter and will gladly place it on the agenda again if you wish. You may call the members of the Commission as well. Sincerely, Jane B. Lafleur, City Planner JAL/mcp 1 Encl CC. Mr. & Mrs. Benever-Watling PLANNING COMMISSION 12 NOVEMBER 1985 PAGE 7 Burlington, Vermont" dated 2/15/85 prepared by "Graphic/Construction Management Services, Inc.," with the following stipulations: 1. All stipulations from the October 9, 1984 approval shall remain in effect. 2. The 30 foot section of barrier shown at the drive near Williston Road shall be a low type such as concrete curbs set at edge or one foot or 2 feet beyond the designated drive width. The end shall be tapered and marked with a delineator to prevent snow plows from hitting it. 3. At this time, access road use is restricted to traffic traveling between the Brockway office and hangar and to the 12 airplane condo hangars in the Airport Industrial zone. The applicant shall be required to submit a revised parking plan to the Commission if and when the 30 foot access road becomes more heavily used. 4. The strip of white pines approved for western property line shall be replaced with a more salt tolerant tree as ap- roved E the City Planner. This change shall be shown on a revised site plan. Mr. Burgess seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Consider request 1�y Wilkins and Genever-Watling to eliminate proposed pedestrian trail located between their properties at 23 and 25 Pheasant Way. — Mrs. Maher noted that the 2 families want the land deeded back to them. She said she didn't object to it not being used in the trail system, but felt the City should retain the easement. Mr. Burgess moved that the Commission remove the stipulation requiring a pedestrian trail between lot 10 and 11 on Pheasant Way but that the City maintain its existing easement. Mr. Jacob seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Other Business A work session will be held Tuesday, 11/19 to discuss traffic. Craig Leiner traffic engineer with the MPO will make a presentation and will talk about a computer model that might be used to plug in development data to see its impact on traffic.

The committee feels the existence of the larger easement located along the eastern border of the development is sufficient for pedestrian trail purposes and provides the necessary link in the system. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J. Szymanski, City Planner Re: Ireland Development Sewer -Pedestrian Easement between lots #10 and #11 Date: November 8, 19,85 When I was first approached regarding the need for this easement, I only looked at the immediate area and saw the alternate which I agreed that it was a better route for hiking in a north -south direction because it was off the street. I did refer the interested parties to the Natural Resouces Committee for their comments. Easements and rights -of -way are very difficult to obtain after the land is developed. If it is decided to abandon this easement it should be with the stipulation that if some times in the future the City has a need for this easement that it has the right to reclaim it. There may be a need sometime in the future to construct a walkway at this location for quick access from one neighborhood to another or to a school or park. Memorandum November 12, 1985 agenda items November 8, 1985 Page 3 Parking and Circulation: A $3000 landscaping plan is shown as required. A cedar hedge is proposed to screen the Reilly property to the north. A stockade fence will screen the playground area. Lot coverage is only 31%. Traffic: This is located in overlay zone five. Twenty one trips are permitted during the peak hour. The applicant projects a maximum of 23 trips during any one hour based on a study of a similar facility at 1451 Williston Road. The ITE data for an elementary school is .15 trips per student or 5.25 trips for this use and 2.94 trips per employee or 11.8 trips during the peak hour. These levels are acceptable especially given the driveway location on Mills Avenue rather than Williston Road. Other: See Bill Szymanski's and Jim Goddettes comments. 7) TATE, 3060 WILLISTON ROAD Ira Tate has agreed to revise his site plan to move the first 148 feet of the access drive six feet to the west to better align with Shunpike Road. The strip of trees will remain beyond that point. If and when the proposed Airport Access road becomes heavily used, Mr. Tate agrees to move his spaces to a location at the rear of the building. Until that time, he would prefer to have it remain as it is. If we assume the District Commission's restrictions on limited access will hold, this agreement should be adequate. The District limited the access to the Brockway office traffic and to the 12 condo -airplane hangars in this Airport -Industrial alert area. Any increase in use requires DEC approval. The front building (former Auto Parts business) is the subject of a Zoning Board of Adjustment appeal and will be a future site plan application. 8) PEDESTRIAN TRAIL, PHEASANT WAY The enclosed letter discusses the request of two property owners to eliminate the pedestrian trail that was deeded to the City when their development was built. It is located between lots #10 and 11. They suggest a better route was provided when the Overlook at Spear project dedicated a trail along lots six through ten. This trail is also along a sewer easement. (see enclosed letter and Bill Szymanski's comments.

Lafleur, City Planner JBL/mcp Encls the Planning attend this members of September 29, 1985 So. Burlington Natural Resources Committee Mr. William V. Schuele 33 Clover Street So. Burlington, Vermont, 05401 Dear Bill, It has come to our attention that a pedestrian easement exists on the boundary of lots no. 10 and 11 in Meadowood at Spear. This was put in at the time that the subdivision was originally permitted. However, since that time the development of the Milot Project included a larger and more directly routed pedestrian easement along the eastern boundary of Meadowood. (see sketch) Because this new pedestrian trail on the Milot property is located with the sewer easement, what has been created is a cleared and definitive trail along the eastern boundary. There- fore, an additional pedestrian trail accessing Meadowood at Spear through these two lots now seems unnecessary. In addition the potential use of this easement would require extensive removal of mature trees as well as creating a potential infringement on, and maintenance liability for, the lawns on lots 10 and 11. Conversations with Bill Szymanski and Tom Hubbard have also indicated that the easement in question is no longer necessary. In summary, we request that this easement be deeded back to the actual lot owners, at their own legal expense. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. SinCJ�erely, Thomas E. Wilkins Ellen W.
