Mr. Mona moved to approve the November 23, 1982 minutes as corrected. Mrs. Maher seconded the motion and all voted aye. On page 2 of the November 30 minutes, in the third full paragraph, the following should be added after the second sentence - "Mr. Poger disagreed vehemently." Mrs. Maher moved to approve the November 30, 1982 minutes as a4lended. Mr. Belter seconded the motion and it carried with Mr. Mona abstaining because he was not present. Application Ny Chittenden Trust for modification of circulation patterns at its drive -up facility at the Factory Outlet Shopping center on Shelburne Road Mr. Spitz noted that when the Factory Outlet was approved last year, it was known that this area might be a problem. They have come up with a solution to the problems. The east -bound drive -up window will be blocked off, so that all cars using the windows will enter from the rear of the area. There will be ample room for cars to stack in line without blocking traffic flow on the lot. A bank representative stated that they had been able to obtain a 1 112' easement from the adjoining property owner, beyond the land Kravco owns. This allowed them to make the improvement. Kravco owns the Factory Outlet area and the bank leases space from them. Mr. Poger noted that the front of this area would be blocked off from the parking lot with concrete and he asked about closing the rest of it. The bank representative saw no reason to do so. Mr. Belter asked if someone waiting in the bank line could get out if he changed his mind and was told he could not. A member of the audience suggested a stop sign at the place where the bank lane met the parking area, with a "Do Not Enter" sign on the other side. Mrs. Maher moved that the South Burlington Planni� Commission approve the revised circulation pattern for Chittenden Trust in the Factory Outlet — - --- -------- ----- - --- Shopping Center as depicted on a plan entitled "Chittenden rust- Company, New Drive-U s Facility, Shelburne Road"i pre aredby Freeman, French, Freeman, dated 12 2 82 ubject to the following _stipulations: 1.

The motion carried with Mr. Woolery abstaining. Preliminary Plat application by Gerald Milot and Dan O'Brien for a 20 unit planned development on Hinesburg Road Mr. Spitz gave the Commission a letter from the fire chief, dated 12/14/82. He also passed out copies of the review guidelines for fire protection, dated 1/21/82. He noted that the chief and developers had not reached agreement on this plan. Mr. Spitz stated that, as far as sewer capacity, the city was now over the top according to the latest calculations. He added, however, that the City Manager/Engineer estimates high, so when the flow is monitored, there may be some excess flow available. Mr. Poger noted that if this application were approved, it would be in line for any excess capacity. Mr. Spitz noted that some approved developments might not be built before their approvals expire. Mr. Poger said that if a developer's approval was extended, the extension should be from that date, not the original approval date, and he added that this new application before the Commission tonight would be in line ahead of an approved development which requested an extension. Requesting extensions of approvals already given should not allow a developer to keep his place in the sewer capacity line, he said. Mr. Page, representing the developers, said the site was 3 acres in size and at present contained a single family dwelling. This will be relocated on the property, and an additional 19 units built, in a multi -family configuration. There will be flats in the center of each building, with townhouse units on the ends. One open and one covered parking space per unit will be provided. Mr. Page said access to the lot had been moved farther from the Kennedy Drive intersection and more grassed area had been left in front. With the change in the access, the deceleration lane for Country Park Apartments across the street can be used as a bypass for cars which want to go by a car turning left into this land. A strip of land has been left so the Rye property next door can use this access if desired. Sewer flow will be by gravity, and the water line will be extended and a hydrant provided. There will be no retention pond, and storm water will go into a swale at the front of the land, and flow in sheets off the back of the property. Provision for drainage along the Georgetown property line will be made. Mr. Page said the road would be 24' wide, and about 30' at the entrance. He said they would be requesting a waiver from the side yard setback at Georgetown. They would like to build 15' from the line. On the Georgetown side is a carport and the distance building to building would be 32'. Mr. Stavrand said he was the president of the Georgetown association and that they would object to that. He said the carports were lower than the buildings, so residents would look over the carport in question, not to woods as they do now, but to another building. Mr. Page thought the building would be at the same level as the carport. Mr. Poger noted that this building placement would save 4 nice trees on the lot, and Mr. Page noted that it would be better to have the short end of the building 15' from the property line than to have the long side 30' away. Mr. rage noted that, with the 301 between buildings required by the fire chief, there was not a lot of room to move the buildings around on the site.
