Your suggestion that we put together a pre -presentation package was instrumental in helping our hearing before the zoning board go smoothly. Thank you again and I hope our future meetings with you will be as enjoyable and rewarding as our first.

We are requesting permission to convert an existing structure into a combination of store, associated offices, catalog fulfillment and service shop. The structure is the 72,000 square foot former Grand Way Discount Store in the Seaway Shopping Center on Shelburne Road, South Burlington. (See attached aerial photo and site plan) By purchasing and renovating an existing building, Garden Way hopes to accomplish several things: (1) to bring together our advertising agency under one roof (2) to provide larger quarters for our store, the Garden Way Living Center, now on Williston Road (3) and to locate the retail administrative offices, currently housed in Williston, close to the store.

It is steel framed with high ceilings and a rectangu- lar supporting column grid. See attached existing layout plan. The renovation design divides the space into 3 distinct zones: an office area; a store area; and a catalog fulfillment, lettershop and service shop area. See attached floor plan. The Office Area Garden Way is a corporation which by its very nature has a close relationship with out of doors. Therefore, the 24,500 square feet of office area has been designed to efficiently utilize the available space and at the same time, create an environment that provides natural light and a feeling of open space. To accomplish this, there is planned a central, large, 2,000 square foot skylit interior garden which will serve as a linkage, a meeting place, a lounge, and a dis- play area. See attached drawings of the interior garden. The Retail Area The Garden Way Living Center, our retail store, will face Shelburne Road and be next to the Grand Union supermarket. The storage area and store service shop are behind the store, providing direct access to the Living Center. Catalog Fulfillment/Lettershop Area/Service Shop The Grand Way building is also planned to house a lettershop for the advertising offices, a small service shop for the store, and a catalog fulfillment area on the east side of the building. At least 2 truck wells will be built in the east side of the building for shipping and receiving. A dock for small truck access will also be built for the store's service shop and pick up area.

One entry area will be for the office section, the other for the Garden Way store. The store may also attach a Garden Way greenhouse next to their entry door. See eleva- tion drawing. Garden Way plans extensive tree and shrub planting on the north, east and west sides of the building. The tree canopy on the east and west sides will provide shade, break up the asphalt expanse, and create a compatible image for the Garden Way store and offices. See attached elevation drawing. There is also planned a + 4,000 square feet of garden plots on the east side of the building for roto-tiller demonstrations and garden plots. See attached site plan. PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY PLANS The new skylights that will be used to introduce natural light in the interior of the building are planned to act as solar hot air collectors as well. The solar heat will be directly vented into the heating system ductwork in winter and vented to the outside in the summer. This addition, coupled with the planned R.38 ceiling insula- tion, should reduce heating costs significantly. See attached diagram.
