Recommended changes: Move the 7 spaces along Shelburne Road to the east so that they are entirely on the applicant's property. Close the westerly curb cut on Baldwin Avenue. All angled parking spaces must be large enough to accommodate a 9'x18' rectangle and all other parking spaces must be at least 9'x18'. Parking aisles serving single row of parking must be 22 feet in width and serving double row of parking must be 24 feet in width. Other: On the plan approved by the Planning Commission on October 8, 1985 for development of this site, the overall coverage was approved at 69.3%, since the applicant wishes to in- crease the overall coverage 1.5% above the maximum allowed, either a variance would have to be obtained or more green spaces added so that the overall coverage limit is not exceeded. WITHERS 2 LOT SUBDIVISION. 265 KIRBY ROAD, SKETCH PLAN Access to both lots should be via a shared access to reduce the number of curb cuts. The 1985 South Burlington Comprehensive Plan shows a proposed street connecting the end of Airport Drive with Airport Parkway and this proposed street appears to cross a portion of this property. Prior to Final Plat the City will decide on its location relative to this property and whether it wishes to acquire the property. The house at #261 Kirby Road is quite close to the proposed access drive to lot #2. The applicant should consider planting a row of evergreen trees between the access drive and the westerly boundary of lot #1 to screen the access drive from the house at #261 M E M O R A N D U M To: Project files From: William J.

The lots shall be graded to drain into these inlets. PERRY'S FISH HOUSE, SHELBURNE ROAD 1. One of the curb cuts on Baldwin Avenue should be eliminated. 2. Existing sidewalk shall remain in place. Plan shows it re- moved. 3. It is the intent of the City to increase the radius of the curb at the Baldwin Avenue intersection to accommodate school busses. This radius will increase to approximately 40 feet. Any planting or signs should be placed at a location that will not conflict with these improvments. 4. Plantings within the street r.o.w. should be limited to a few trees especially along Shelburne Road where there is a good possibility the street will be widened and plantings will have to be removed. 5. Parking spaces should be at least 9'x18'. Plan shows them at 9'x15'. TO: FROM: RE: DATE: �outb iS urlingtun Y irr D Epttrtmrnt ; �3nittl� +�urlingt�Yt�, liaermant ll54[13 : � �` `� (802) 658-i960 SO.

SHELBURNE, RUTLAND 8 MANCHESTER, VT July 2, 1991 Mr. Joe Weith South Burlington Planning Administrator City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 RE: "Perry's Market" (Former Claussen's Florist Dear Joe: - �¢t�a#n BURLINGTON, of • DAKOTA•. PI`1SF-IELO MA F15H-HOU,gf. s S. BURLINGTON. VT This letter is to follow up our discussions last week regarding the change in retail operations at the building now occupied by Claussen's Florist on the corner of Shelburne Road and Baldwin Avenue. Currently, the building has been used by Claussen's Florist as a specialty retail outlet selling plants, flowers, dried flower arrangements, vases, balloons, cards, garden equipment (plant containers, small garden tools, fertilizers, weed and pest control products, etc.), and items related to the foregoing. Claussen's has 3,100 square feet dedicated to retail use which includes the outdoor sales area and the temporary greenhouse structure. We are proposing a specialty retail market which sells a limited array of food products. The market will specialize in the sale of fish and fish products similar to those sold at Perry's Fish House, and will also sell meat products, particularly, bison grown on the Perry Farms. In addition, the store will sell specialty gourmet products related to the fish and meat, such as sauces and condiments and breads. The array of food products that will be available at the market will be quite limited in comparison to a convenience store or small grocery store which usually carries hundreds of items -- from food to medicines to magazines, take- out sodas and beers, coffees, cigarettes, and lottery tickets -- and will be minuscule in comparison to a super market which has hundreds of thousands of products. We feel that there is no change in use from the florist to the market. Both are specialty retail outlets with limited amount of retail products being sold. Our proposed Perry Market will be open for substantially the same hours as Claussen's, and the use of the retail space in the market will mirror what is currently being used now by Claussen's. We do not expect that the traffic will be any different in its amount or generation patterns. PERRY RESTAURANT GROUP 1908 SHELBURNE ROAD, SHELBURNE, VERMONT 05482 • (802) 985-8074 Page 2 It is our understanding that "retail businesses", such as Claussen's or the Perry's Market, are a permitted use of the South Burlington Zoning Ordinance within this district under Section 11.20, and since there is no change in the use of the building, we do not believe that site plan approval under Section 19.10 is required. We certainly recognize that the building is a non- complying structure since it is a second structure on a single lot. However, the structure is a pre-existing non -complying structure and under Vermont law is entitled to continue to be used. Furthermore, we recognize that we are limited to twenty-five (25%) percent of the value of the building in structural changes. However, we are not undertaking any significant structural changes to the building and only undertaking facade changes which are not subject to the limitations of Section 19.002. The way we look at the change from Claussen's to Perry's is that it is similar to a change of one tenant to another with similar uses, and we do not believe that a zoning permit would be required for such a change of tenant. We do understand, of course, that a building permit would be necessary for any physical changes that we might undertake in remodeling. If you do not concur with me that the use is not a change in use or that we have to go through site plan review in order to get approval for Perry's Market, please let me know as soon as possible. I will be glad to provide you with additional information. I will also be glad to visit with the Planning Commission in order to let them know all of our plans and to provide them additional information. Very truly yours, David J.

Please be sure someone is present on Tuesday, July 30, 1991 at 7:30 P.M. to represent your request. erely, oe Weith, City Planner Encls JW/mcp Memorandum - Planning July 30, 1991 agenda items July 26, 1991 Page 4 Circulation: The existing circulation pattern will not change. This existing pattern results in traffic exiting the drive through and re-entering the flow of traffic in close proximity to a busy four-way intersection (O'Dell Parkway). The proposed modifications do not improve this situation. This situation will get even worse if and when O'Dell Parkway is connected through to Farrell Drive. Traffic: Counts taken indicate that during the peak hour of the generator, which is the noon hour, the trip generation equals 138 vte/hour. During the P.M. peak hour of the adjacent street parking which is 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. the trip generators equals 106 vte/hour. This study also indicates that converting from a drive-in bank to a walk-in bank will reduce the trip generation by approximately 25% during peak periods and by 35% over an entire weekday period. The study references a recent LOS study prepared for the Ben Franklin store to the north. The study indicates that the inter- sections are currently operating at an acceptable LOS with the existing drive -through bank. Therefore, the bank is not adverse- ly impacting LOS. Staff concurs. Landscaping: The proposed modifications will result in the loss of 160 square feet of landscaped area and the addition of 468 square feet of landscaped area for a net increase of 308 square feet. Recommendation: It is staff's recommendations that there is sufficient new evidence which addresses several of the Commis- sion's earlier concerns and therefore warrants reconsideration of the application. However, the concern regarding circulation impacts still remains and should be addressed by the applicant. 5) DISCUSSION. PERRY RESTAURANT GROUP ti L Ali _ j ui y i y i r�u e iti�; , ll�idr� "0 �IiCY Business " , I asked the Commission's determination on whether Perry Group's proposal to change the Claussen's Flower Shop building to a specialty market of fish and other gourmet food items constituted a change or expansion of use. The Commission decided that site plan review was necessary. As described in the enclosed letter from the appiicant, it is the applicant's opinion that the proposal does not constitute a change or expansion of use. The applicant would like the Commission to clarify its position. 4 Memorandum - Planning July 30, 1991 agenda items July 26, 1991 Page 5 The Planning Commission has ruled in the past that a change of use occurs when a new proposed use falls within a different permitted or conditional use category than that which the current use is defined. Sections 11.10 and 11.20 list the permitted and conditional uses for the C1 district. The existing flower shop use and proposed speciality market use both fall within subsec- tion 11.102, "Retail businesses". Therefore, the proposal does not constitute a change in use. The Planning Commission has also ruled that changes of specific businesses within a use category which results in a use that generates more traffic, more sewer allocation or more parking constitute an expansion of use and therefore requires site plan approval. Traffic: I.T.E. lists various use categories and provides trip generation rates for those categories. The existing use fits within the "retail -general merchandise" use category. The pro- posed use is somewhat unique and is difficult to apply to a certain I.T.E. use category. The proposed use might fit within one of the following categories: retail general merchandise, supermarket, or convenience market. Based on the definitions provided by I.T.E., it is staff's opinion that the proposed specialty market best fits within the retail -general merchandise category. If the Commission feels one of the other categories is more appropriate, then an expansion of use will be .justified since trip rates for supermarkets and convenience stores are greater than retail -general merchandise. Another option would be for the applicant to count trip genera- tion of similar uses in the area to that of the proposed use (e.g. Net Result) and compare to the existing use to estimate whether or not there will be an increase in traffic. Parking: Table I of the zoning regulations lists parking stand- ards for various uses including 1) retail establishment - individual business, 2) supermarkets, 3) convenience stores, and 4) shopping centers. As stated above, the existing use fits 7,7i t}':i n the retail establishment categoryy. Convenience stores require more parking per square foot than "retail". Therefore, if the Planning Commission determines the proposed use falls within convenience store use, then more parking will be necessary which constitutes an expansion of use. Supermarkets and shopping centers require less parking per square foot than "retail". Sewer: It is staff's opinion that the proposed use will not require any more water use than the existing flower shop. 5 Memorandum - Planning July 30, 1991 agenda items July 26, 1991 Page 6 Summary: Based on the Commission's rulings, the proposal does not constitute a change in use, however, it may constitute an expansion of use which requires site plan review and approval. It is staff's opinion that no additional parking or sewer alloca- tion will result. In addition, staff feels that the new use best fits within the ITE use category of retail -general merchandise. If Planning Commission is concerned with potential increase in traffic, I suggest the applicant conduct counts of a similar use to that proposed and compare to counts of the existing use. If greater traffic will result, an expansion of use is constituted, which requires site plan review. If no increase in traffic will result, there will be no expansion of use and therefore site plan review is not required. 6) QUARRY HILL CLUB This item was continued to this meeting. indicated that he would like to withdraw his not yet received a letter of withdrawal, but Tuesday's meeting.
