Dear Bill:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of yesterday morning,
I can report to you that Vermont Federal Savings is holding $5,000
in loan proceeds in an escrow account for Ireland Industries, Inc.,
which will be disbursed only upon completion of the roads in the
East Terrace Development, South Burlington, Vermont.
I have instructed our Appraisal Department and those people
in our Organization involved in disbursing funds that this money
is only to be disbursed upon receipt of a letter from your office
indicating that the roads are in a finished and satisfactory
condition and are acceptable to the City of South Burlington.
If I can be of any further assistance to you in this or any
other matter, please feel free to a upon me at any time.
Y rs very truly,

RE: Ireland Agreements
Dear Dick:
I have reviewed the proposedsewer extension agreement
and escrow agreement in connection with Ireland Industries,
Inc. I find no fault with the sewer extension agreement,
but have indicated some very minor suggestions on the
enclosed copy. It is important that the correct corporate
name of Ireland Industries, Inc. be included in the agree-
ment, and that the signature line be set up in the fashion I
have indicated.
The escrow agreement is in the customary form used by
the City. It, however, refers to another agreement which
supposedly is executed simultaneously with this escrow agree-
ment. This second agreement, I believe, should be similar
to the one the City executed with Blais and Calcagni. I
have not seen a proposed agreement in connection with the
Ireland Development. My only other suggestion is that
paragraph 1 on the first page should be more explicit, and I
would suggest something along the following lines:
"Developers hereby covenant and agree that it
will within one year from the date hereof install
gravel sub -base and roads, curbs, drainage facilities,
water lines and 2 1/2 inches of bituminous paving
for the streets set forth on a plan entitled
dated and approved by the City of
South Burlington Planning Commission on
in accordance with said plan and said approval by
the South Burlington Planning Commission and the
minimum specifications and standards for subdivisions
in the City of South Burlington in effect as of the
date hereof, and will further, within said period,
EWING & SPOKES
Richard R. Ward -2- November 22, 1976
make all such improvements as are set forth on said
plan and in said subdivision approval on the property
lying adjacent to lots 1 through 7 and lot 39
and lot 41 as shown on said plan."
Please call me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

RE: P.ilLSTRiAN TRAIL LAYOUT IN SOUTHBURiI:�TON
CO:.PREIH NSIVE PLAN
r y NOVEMBER 25, 1975
An informal meeting of representatives from the Pedestrian
Trails subcommittee was held to help clarify the exact layout
and function of the pedes tr:Lan trails shown in the Comprehensive
Plan on or near the proposed Ireland Subdivision.
The conclusion of this group was that in general two tyjes
of pedestrian trails are called for by the Plan: 1) paved (i.e,;
sidewalks and/or bikeways, or streets )for walking, jogging , bik:�nZ,
etc. and 2) non -paved, in a more or less natural state, for
walking, skiing, snowshoeing, etc s along drainaCeways, property
boundar:*es, and/or connecting City open space land.
With raspect to the proposed subdivision, it was Felt that
the needs outlined in l)above were more than adequately met.
W ; -, respec v to 2� it was felt that a pedestrian easement aloe
.he north property line, which would link up the City's open
s.-Jace land with the Nowland property, would be an important
link in the system proposed in the Comprehensive Plan.
The Natural Resource Committee should be asked for its
position on this matter, if the Planning Commission wishes to
per -sue it further.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Lidral and voted unanimously for approval.
Meadowood at Spear Subdivision - continuation of, public hearing
Planning Commission members received copies of a memorandum from the
City Manager containing his requirements; a checklist from Mr. Page for
review of the final subdivision plan; and a letter from the Soil Con-
servation Service containing their recommendations. These papers are to
be part of the Minutes of this meeting.
In reviewing his memo, Mr. Page noted that Items 1) and 2) were taken care
of.
Item 3) regarding sidewalks was discussed, with Mr. Trudell indicating on
the plan the streets having sidewalks on both sides and the area which is to
® have a sidewalk on only one side, and a sidewalk going down into the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Page felt it was advisable to have sidewalks on both sides of Lakewood
Drive.
Item 4) the letter from the Soil Conservation Service was reviewed by Mr.
Trudell who said he had invited the SCS people to walk, over the site with
him and had sent them a complete set of plans. Regarding the comment about
additional drainage possibly being required, Mr. Trudell said there is
actually a ditch across there now which provides drainage for that area.
Lot 22 in the second comment will be one of the last lots to be developed
and the drainage system will be in initially, and at the time they are ready
to build on this lot they will have an indication as to whether or not the
drainage system has worked.
Mrs. Krapcho asked Mr. Trudell if he had taken the plan through Act 250 yet
and he explained he goes through the town first to clear everything up. The
plans have been submitted for technical review, but only last week.
Item 5) regarding park land -- Mr. Page said he felt there should be a legal
covenant covering ownership and maintenance for a park.
Mr. Diggle said there is a provision for the Home Owners' Association to main-
tain the park. Mr. Ireland explained the Home Owners' Association would take
over after the sale of ten houses; he would maintain it through the sale of
the first ten.
Mrs. Krapcho said the Commission hasn't had a conventional subdivision where
land was proposed for permanent park or recreational purposes, but she thought
under Planned Development some kind of agreement is generally worked out for
recreational use. Mr. Ward added that the Commission must get to review the
covenants.
FEBRUA RY 10 9Z6
#,*14 Or apprornl of the plan showing this lard as park land would
itself but he thought Dick Spokes should review the lekality
ForoAnenceR of the Home Owners' Association covenants.
O xrspcho auggested asking the City Attorney for some guidance on this
x: tat, whether it is sufficient just to have a review of the covenants or
$6ethor a special contract should be negotiated.
Mr. Ireland said the Commission was just talking about a mechanical thing,
a.al Mrs. Krapcho said he would review the covenants anyway and there would
be ample time for his decision.
Item 6) was mostly contained in the City Manager's memorandum.
Item 7) the request of the Natural Resources Committee for a pedestrian trail.
Kr. Page explained the reason for this request was to improve the circulation
pattern to and from the greenbelt area.
Mr. Ireland was definitely against it unless someone wants to police it. He
described the problems he has had with trail bikes and snowmobiles, also the
money the University has had to spend recently to protect its property from
this kind of damage. He said crosscountry skiing was fine but he could not
see opening the area to trail bikes and snowmobiles. He could not police it
and he didn't know who could.
Mr. Diggle said the short-term solution for circulation has some merit but
In considering the long terra, with other properties joining on, it is more of
a problem and motorized vehicles are the big problem now.
Mr. Levesque said the purpose of the trail system is to provide exercise and
a few hundred more feet isn't going to hurt; he said he knew from experience
that it is impossible to control snowmobiles, mentioning the problems the high
school has had trying to protect ski trails.
Mr. Schuele emphasized the only time the Natural Resources Committee has any
chance to get pedestrian trails is when land is being developed, and as to the
suggestion that UVM might allow access along its property, he said that has to
be set aside as possible but not very probable. He felt the trails to be as
important to the potential buyer as to the rest of the City since they would
probably use them more than other people. He also objected to the fact that
the developer had not contacted his committee regarding the trail.
Mr. Levesque asked Yr. Schuele if the committee had anything on file regarding
a request to the University for land to make a natural tie-up to the trail
system.
Mr. Schuele said they did not. Mrs. Krapcho said she would like to see that
pursued, to allow public access.
Mr. Diggle said the deveoper recognized that there is a trail system.
Pointing to a lot on the map, Mr. Ireland asked Mr. Schuele if he would buy
that lot with everybody going through there on trail bikes.
MX- Schuele replied that only one entrance to the 13 acre park seemed rather
shortsighted to him.
Mrs. Krapcho said the Planning Commission is not in a position to require any
additional points of access, but she would move that the Planning m
Comission_
ask the developer to set aside a_p_edestrian easement between lots 23 and 24
as roposed by the Natural Resources Committee.

transplanted and will do this before beginning construction.
xr. Levesque commented that this is not a low budget kind of development.
Kr. Ireland said they had received many requests from people who were interested
in safety; people are interested in security because of the crime situation.
He said he had visited a development in Rhode Island and one in Connecticut
that have security control and he was really excited; there is going to be
more demand for this.
Mr. Diggle said they would like to get some feedback from the Planning Com-
mission about the controlled access and they may come back at some point
regarding this. More and more developers are concerned about controlling
who comes and goes. The savings in insurance almost break even with what
the home owners have to pay for 24 hour protection.
Mrs. Krapcho felt protection would be difficult with the backyards and the
open areas, and she hoped such measures would not become necessary here.
Mr. Levesque stated this area is in the New York - Montreal drug corridor
and cited the increase in crime within the last five years.
Mr. Schuele said he would be more interested in the safety of the entire City
and not one little area having its own fortress.
Item 3) Mr. Page recommended the amount of the performance bond be set by
the City Manager.
Item 4) Mr. Diggle said they would like to be able to get building permits
without waiting for the mechanics to be done.
Mr. Page then reviewed the memorandum from the City Manager.
Water Mr. Ireland said he had no intention of running a water main
an extra 300 feet. They are right on the border now. They are going to the
12" main vs. the 8" main but they are just not going 300 feet extra past their
street. He said he was not aware of this request.
Mr. Levesque said he felt it was unreasonable.
Mr. Ireland said they were saving a lot of money to the City by going up
there, they are right on the border, and they are not going to spend another
ten cents. they are right to their limit. They have done everything that
has been asked of them. He said he had never seen such design -- systems
and requirements for drainage. double sidewalks. Most people don't want the
additional sidewalks, one in a rural area like this is adequate. He has had
comments from people in his other developments that they wished there were no
sidewalks.
Regarding the plastic service existing on Spear Street, Mr. Page said the
City Manager doesn't want the existing line hit. Mr. Trudell said it was
almost impossible to locate that because the vegetation has grown up in the
several years since the pipe was put in, and it was felt the owner would be
hooking up to the new main when it was completed.
Mrs. Krapcho asked Mr. Ireland if he was objecting to the extension of the
water line across his frontage and he said he was.

Yr. Diggle said the Water Resources board would look at and would have some
suggestions -- something would be done.
Mrs. Krapcho suggested that measures be taken to break up the water rather
than stipulating the exact footage.
Mr. Ewing asked about the recommendation in the letter from the SCS regarding
drainage on lots 6 through 10.
Mr.Trudell replied those lots right now are dry and they are not going to do
anything that isn't necessary. There is already a natural ditch there now.

Mr. Trudell said in going to Act 250 the developer will need a statement
from the City that: 1) the City will allow him to hook on to the water
system; and 2) that the City will allow him to hook on to the sewer system.
He said they would receive approval from the Health Department as soon as
they receive this letter from the City.
Mrs. Krapcho moved that the Plannir_I�Cgmm ssion direct Mr. Szymanski to _
write whatever letter is required to_indicatg to a Health Department
that the proposed development has met requirements for hooking on to the
City sewer and water systems.

FROM: STEVE PAGE, PLANNING ASSISTANT
RE: ADDENDUM TO APPROVAL OF MEADOW00D AT SPEAR, FINAL PLAN
DATE: 2/24/76
I inadvertantly failed to bring up several points which
should have been clarified in the motion of approval for
Meadowood at Spear. The applicant has tentatively agreed to
these stipulations, which could be in the form of a motion for
an addendum to the approval as follows:
1) with regard to the boundaries of the. R4 and BPD districts
which affect the parcel under consideration, the Commission finds
that physical and cultural features on the ground are at variance
with those shown on the Official Zoning Nap; the Commission
interprets the boundaries of the R4 district as extending through-
out the property under consideration and westerly to a parcel
of City -owned land; the Commission further interprets the boundar-
ies of the BPD district as extending northerly to the south-
eastern corner of a parcel of City -owned land.
2) the conservation open space district is interpreted as
extending 501 from the centerline, on both sides, of drainageways
shown on the utilities layout (sheet 2 of 23, 1/76) on lots 10,
ll, 13, 159 ab 46 and the park land.
3) the lot directly west of and abutting the cul-de-sac
is to be designated "Neighborhood Park" on the final plat.
4) easements at northeast and southwest corners of the
property are to be further designated as "Pedestrian Easements."
Mrs. Krapcho moved that the Planning_ Commission ac_ cept the final subdivision
plan submitted by Mr. Stuart Ireland for the Meadowood at Spear development
2)
3)
that sidewalks are to be instajled on at least one side of allero_
posed streets and that all sidewalks are to be ramped;
that an opimion shall be xgguested from the City Attorney as to
whether the City should negotiate a contract to permanently secure
the proposed recreational area as open space and that such contract
or other appropriate legal document will be approved by the City
Attorney before building permits can be issued;
trees shall be provided for lots without trees in an amount equivalent
to the requirements in Sectinn ?01 of the South Burlington Subdivision
4) that a performance bond shall b_e`p_osted in accordance with the require-
ments of the City of South Burlington in an amount to be set by the

5) that deeds for streets and easements and other convey nces to the

pedestrian easement be granted at the northwest
corner of the property, between lots 23 & 24.
This easement would extend from the proposed city
street to the 13 acre greenbelt parcel. A
pedestrian easement at this location would afford
much improved access/eCress to the "Greenbelt"
property and eliminate the need to backtrack in
order to _leave the property• Furthermore, it has
been the experience of the PTatural Resources

FROM: STEPHEN S . PAGE, PLANNING ASSISTANT
RE: PEDESTRIAN TRAIL LAYOUT IN SOUTH BURLINGTON
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
DATE: NOVEMBER 25, 1975
An informal meeting of representatives from the Pedestrian
Trails subcommittee was held to help clarify the exact layout
and function of the pedestrian trails shown in the Comprehensive
Plan on or near the proposed Ireland Subdivision.
The conclusion of this group was that in general two types
of pedestrian trails are called for byy the Plan: 1) paved (i.e
sidewalks and/or bikeways, or streets for walking, jogging, biking,
etc. and 2) non -paved, in a more or less natural state, for
walking, skiing, snowshoeing, etc along drainageways, property
boundaries, and/or connecting Cit� open space land.
With respect to the proposed subdivision, it was felt that
the needs outlined in l)above were more than adequately met.
With respect to 2� it was felt that a pedestrian easement along
the north property line, which would link up the City's open
space land with the Nowland property, would be an important
link in the system proposed in the Comprehensive Plan.
The Natural Resource Committee should be asked for its
position on this matter, if the Planning Commission wishes to
parsue it further.
