However, the location of that structure is clearly not in keeping with your site plan approval, and it is also clearly subject to review under the temporary use section (19.60) of the zoning ordinance. We do, not wish to interfeee with your operations this year. However, if you wish to erect another temporary structure next year you raust first apply to the Planning Coimnission for approval. I would be happy to discuss this matter further with you if you have any questions. Sincerely, David H. Spitz, City Planner DIIS/mcg cc: Richard Ward CLAUSSENS GREENHOUSE ROUTE 2A - COLCHESTER, VERMONT 05446 (802) 878-2361 C-1 1 / CD �= S %4 �v2Lvv� �� ✓ CR 'iV T o G R 7 r t J e `70� N fi.

Woods, last revised 9/12/82: Stipulations: 1) The tws southerly curb cut/ on Shelburne Road shall b be closed. 2) A bond for landscaping and for curb work shall be provided. 3) A revised site plan, containing required changes from stipulation 1, shall be submitted to and approved by the City Planner prior to issuance of a building permit. 4) This approval expires in 6 months. PLANNING COMMISSION 4. SEPTEMBER 14, 1982 specifications acceptable to the community, paid for in full by the residents of this development, and the residehts would also be paying user fees for the station as well as taxes to the city. He did not feel they should have to maintain the station as well. Mr. Spitz said in condominium developments, stations which would serve other developments were usually city -owned. If they serve only one development, they are usually private. He felt the city should look into this issue, though. Mr. Poger stated that he would look with favor on the O'Briens retaining control over the project. Mr. Mona said he did not like the project name. Mr. Woolery moved to continue the preliminary plat application of College Woods until September 28 at 7:30 pm at City Hall. Mr. Walsh seconded the motion and all voted aye'. Site plan and traffic criteria review of application by( laussen's Inc.. for a vear-round florist shop at 1090 Shelburne Roa------- Mr. Spitz said traffic was hard to evaluate because of the seasonal nature of the business. There are counts from the existing shop on Riverside Avenue, but the busy time of year is when they sell spring plants. He said that based on the information they had, the estimated 15 trips per peak hour would be about 112 what the proposed gas station and convenience store would have had. The other issue is curb cuts, he said. The Pappas family owns one lot with 4 curb cuts and two buildings. Mr. Gordon Woods, representing the developer, said there would be some parking in front of the building, and additional parking behind it. They will close the curb cut on the corner, and have 1 cut on Shelburne Road and one on Baldwin Avenue. He said the Pappas family did not want to close both cuts on Shelburne Road in front of this building, because they feel they would not be able to sell the parcel in the future if they wanted to. Mr. Poger mentioned combining the south Pappas cut and the north Claussen cut to serve both lots. He felt that most people coming to the Claussen shop would not stop on impulse, but would be familiar with the area and could use the Baldwin Avenue curb cut. Mr. Claussen said that if someone was in the parking lot and wanted to go back to Burlington, he could just pull out onto the road instead of going through the Baldwin Avenue traffic light and perhaps blocking other cars on the lot. Mr. Pappas did not want to combine a curb cut with Claussen's, since that would result in the loss of. -some parking spaces. Mr. Walsh did not feel the Shelburne Road curb cuts should be totally eliminated in front of the building, feeling that could cause some rest problems. Air. Woods noted that the area designated as outdoor sales area on the plan was not an exact area, it was just to let the board know there would be outside sales at some times of the year. Mr. Mona suggested cutting the fence along the rear of the property at one point, to allow people to walk between the front and rear of the lot. It was decided to close the south curb cut and leave the north one open. Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the site plan application by Claussen's Greenhouses for approval of a florist shop as depicted on a plan entitled `New Florist Shop, 1090 Shelburne Road,' prepared by Gordon G. Woods, last revised 9 12 82, subject to the following stipulations: 1. The most southerly curb cut on Shelburne Road shall be closed. 2. A bond for landscaping and for curb work shall be provided. 5. PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEI4BER 14, 1982 3. There shall be a walkway next to the building and next to parking space #13, to be shown on the plan of record. 4. The notations "outside sales area" shall be removed from the plan of, record. 5. This approval expires in 6 months. Mr. Walsh seconded the motion. Mr. Mona noted that during discussions with Plywood Ranch, the Commission had discussed outside display areas, which they did not want. In this case the display will be only for two months and will be attractive. Mr. Woolery noted that it should be clear that the only outside display should be of plants. The motion carried unanimously. Site plan applicationly Portland Glass, Inc., for a 9600 sq. ft. building on lot 1 of the Bartlett property on Shelburne Road Mr. Spitz noted that this was the first lot for the LTH development. It was discovered recently that they will need conditional use approval by the Zoning Board, so they will have to seek that approval after this hearing. Mr. Kim Morrow, representing Portland Glass, said the building would be 80' x 1001, with a retail area of 40' x 80'. The lot will be gravelled. About 25' away from the building there will be a small swale for drainage, which will go into an existing swale. The company expects 1 semi per week and has shown a jag in the narking lot for easier access to the building for these trucks. Mr. John Larkin, of LTH, was told there would have to be a temporary turnaround where the new main road ends. The Commission also felt the jag in the parking lot for truck access should have the shape changed slightly. Mr. Morrow, of Portland Glass, said they did not do much retail business - they need storage area since they do a lot of construction work. Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission annrove the site plan application by Portland Glass Inc., for a 9600 se. ft. building on lot 1 of the Bartlett Property on Shelburne Road as depicted on a plan entitled "Portland Glass, Inc., prepared by E.F. 'wall and Associates, dated J19782.subject to thefollowin stipulations: 1. Bonding and a construction timetable for the new city street extending beyond the driveway to this property and including a temporary turn -around shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. Revised drainage and parking lot grading information shall be submitted to and approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of a building ermit Additional parking turning area for trucks and entrance radii revisions shall 3. A depressed curb shall be constructed across the entire driveway. 4• A landscaping bond of $5400 shall be provided. 5. A revised site plan, containing required information from stipulation_ #2, shall be submitted to and approved by the City Planner prior to issuance of a building permit. 6. Semis approval expires in 6 months. Kr. Walsh seconded the motion and all voted aye. I v Memorandum Next week's agenda Items 9/10/82 Page 2 Private streets have never before been approved for a single- family development (except for the temporary approval at Meadow - wood at Spear). This concept will only work if the land is in single ownership as proposed. We may have to explore legal options for stipulating new maintenance responsibilities if ownership changes. Even if private ownership of streets is approved, they may have to be designed to allow for future public maintenance. A usable precedent is the ring road in the Stonehedge Development which includes a 24 foot wide paved street with 3 foot shoulders on either side, all constructed to City standards, plus a reduced setback (5' in Stonehedge, perhaps 10' here) from a 60' wide right-of-way. Sidewalks should be considered. Also, off street parking spaces may have to be shown on the plan. Landscaping requirements also should be similar to a condominium development. Utilities also will be critical in determining the feasibility of this project. Many questions on water pressure, sewer flow, etc. cannot be fully answered until engineering review as part of the final plat procedure. 5) Claussen's_,__�) Application is for use of an existing building (previously a gas station) on a portion of the Pappas property on Shelburne Road. Mid- way Oil's application for a gas station and convenience store at this location was turned down last October (see enclosed minutes). Traffic volume has been difficult to evaluate because of the seasonal nature of the business. I hope to have additional information prior to Tuesday's meeting. This may also affect parking requirements. Pappas's property has four curb cuts (2 for the restaurant and 2 for this building) within 250 feet of road frontage. Several of those curb cuts should be consolidated. 6) Portland Glass Application is for an 80'x120' building for the storage and sale of glass, metal, and related products. The uses must also be approved by the Zoning Board under conditional use review. The building will be located on Lot 1 of LTH's Bartlett Property. development. The access is 250' from Shelburne Road as stipulated. Customer traffic is expected to be very low. Also, there are a total of 14 employees, 8 company trucks, and deliveries 2-4 times per week. This should not be a heavily traveled site. I still need further information on the extent of cut and fill operations. Also, the size of the culvert under the driveway should be checked.

Szymanski, City Manager Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 9/10/82 4) College Woods 1) A 22 foot wide street is too narrow, especially when it has as many curves as proposed. I would recommend 24' width and 3' shoulders on each side. However, my preference would be city standard 30' with curbs and city maintained. 2) Storm drain inlets are almost useless on a street without curbs as there is no way to control and direct runoff toward them. 3) Sewage pumping station and force main shall remain in private ownership. 4) A culvert pipe is needed at entrance to Patchen Road. 5) Since the streets are to remain private, a school bus will not enter the development , but must pickup children on Patchen Road. A children's standing area, bus shelter, bus turn- around area, and sidewalks, must all be considered. 5) laussen's 1090 Shelburne Road 1) The shop can best be served by the large curb opening on Baldwin Avenue. The two curb cuts on Shelburne Road can be closed. If this is done parking spaces may be rearranged toward Shelburne Road. 2) If outside sale of plants is anticipated, the sale area should be shown.
