The City Engineer has asked that the blacktop side- walk be made a right of way. Mr. Bensen said he didn't see a reason for this but would do it. Mr. Burgess noted a variance was granted to allow 16 units on 3.7 acres and didn't know if another variance would be required. The Planner will check with the City Attorney.

She said required landscaping hasn't been put in, and the project is not what Mr. Bensen told the Commission it would be. Ms. Peacock asked whether the Commission should even consider the new application when the landscaping hasn't been put in. Members asked that the Planner provide a copy of all Minutes regarding this development, including the carport application. 7 Site plan application of Salamin Handy for construction of a 3325 sq. ft. building for convenience store and service station use (Cumberland Farms) 984 Shelburne Rd.

Mr. Craig said many things on the old plan should be on the new one: curb details, cut-off luminair lights, etc. Mr. Burgess noted the CWD Superintendent wants the water line moved to the rear of the building as it will end up under the pumps otherwise. Ms. Peacock moved the Planning Commission approve the Site Plan application of Salamin Handy for construction of a 3,325 sq. ft. building for convenience store and service station use as depicted on a plan entitled, "New Cumberland Farms Store," prepared by Gordon G. Woods Associates, Architects and dated October, 1989, last revised 10/20/89 with the following stipulations: 1. The applicant shall post a $3,750, 3-year landscaping bond prior to permit. The landscape plan shall be revised to correctly show the location of the existing birch clump. This birch clump shall be preserved. 2. The parcel is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 1 (Article XVII of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations) which allows a gen- eration of 18 peak hour trip ends. Based on I.T.E. trip gener- ation rates, the proposed use will generate at least 24 peak hour trip ends. The Planning Commission approves a trip generation in excess of the 18 peak hour trip end limit since it believes the proposed access improvements will significantly improve the traffic safety situation of the site. 3. The Planning Commission approves 19 parking spaces and waives 6 required spaces. It is the Commission's opinion that 19 spaces will be sufficient since the pumping stations will also serve as parking spaces. 4. The plan shall be revised to show the existing water service relocated to the north side of the proposed building. The lo- cation and size of the water service shall be approved by CWD prior to permit. 5. All lighting shall be cut-off luminare. 6.

PUblic Hearing: Consider proposed amendments to Sections 18.112 and 19.35 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations re- aardinu the measurement of the height of structures Mr. Burgess explained the changes. Mr. Dugan raised the question of what is the preconstruction grade. Mr. Cooper noted he has a lot that slopes in 2 directions which limits the height of a structure he could build. Mr. Hoehl asked if it is possible to say you can't fill higher than the original highest point. The concensus of the Commission was that Sect. 18.116 be re- written.
