Traffic
8. This property lies within Traffic Overlay Zone 1 which would allow this property to
generate a maximum of 26 PM peak hour vehicle trip ends (vtes). The 2/19/91 Planning
Commission approval indicated that the existing uses generate 20 vtes. In a letter dated
10/7/15 to the applicant, Roger Dickinson of Lamoureux & Dickinson Engineers indicated
that based on local trip generation studies performed at four (4) locations, that he
estimates that the existing uses would generate 17 vtes. The ITE Trip Generation
Manual estimates that the conversion of 650 sq. ft. from artist production studio use to
standard restaurant use would result in a 3.58 vte increase for a total of 20.58 vtes. The
applicant will have to pay the 0.58 additional vtes which represents the amount above
the 20 vtes approved in 1991.
9. The applicant submitted a Jurisdictional Opinion dated 10/30/15 from the State
Agency of Transportation indicating that this project would not need a Section 1111
permit.

All previous approvals and stipulations which are not superseded by this approval
shall remain in effect.
2. This project must be completed as shown on the plan and shall be on file in the
South Burlington Department of Planning and Zoning.
3. For the purpose of calculating road impact fees under the South Burlington
Impact Fee Ordinance, the Administrative Officer estimates that this change in
use will generate 0.58 additional vehicle trip ends during the p.m. peak hour.
4. Any new exterior lighting must be installed or shielded in such a manner as to
conceal light sources and reflector surfaces from view beyond the perimeter of
the area to be illuminated.
