Memo
To:South Burlington City Council
From: David Wheeler, Stormwater Superintendent
CC: Kevin Dorn, City Manager
Tom DiPietro, Deputy Director of Public Works
Date: December 11, 2020
Re:Grant Application for Design of Irish Farm Stormwater Treatment Practice Upgrades
Bartlett Brook is on the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) list of impaired
waterbodies. The ANR released a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Bartlett Brook
watershed that sets a target for flow modification in the stream during the 1-year storm event.
In order to meet the flow reduction target set in the Bartlett Brook TMDL, the Stormwater Utility
has identified a suite of Stormwater Treatment Practices (STPs) that are capable of attaining
the required flow reduction target. The City is pursuing all grant funding opportunities available
to implement these projects in a cost effective and timely manner. Therefore, the City must
take advantage of the opportunity to apply for the Enhanced BMP Grant by the Lake
Champlain Basin Program (LCBP).
The South Burlington Department of Public Works has been in discussion with Larkin Reality
regarding a stormwater upgrade project in the Irish Farm neighborhood, which is located in
the Bartlett Brook watershed. The existing stormwater treatment practices treat runoff form
City roadways, as well as residential properties in the Irish Farm neighborhood. The City and
developer would like to apply for a $40,000 design grant to upgrade these systems, in order
to bring them into compliance with current standards. This project has the support from the
developer, as detailed in the attached letter of support.
Included with this memo is a proposed agreement that defines the roles and responsibilities
for each party during the engineering and design phase of the project. The agreement
authorizes the expenditure of up to $50,000 for design and engineering related work. This
amount would be shared by the City and Larkin based on the pro-rata share of impervious
surface that would be treated by the proposed stormwater treatment system (74.3% Larkin
and 25.7% City). Among other topics, the agreement defines how change orders, grant
applications, and contract termination would be handled during the engineering and design
phase of the project. This agreement has been developed in coordination with the City’s legal
counsel.
I am requesting that City Council authorize staff to (1) execute the Stormwater System
Design Agreement with Larkin Reality (d.b.a Allen Road Land Company, Inc.) and (2)
apply for grant funding from the Lake Champlain Basin Program for design phase
engineering services If you have any questions, please contact me at (802) 658 – 7961
x6103 or dwheeler@sburl.com.
City Of South Burlington, Grant Request Form
Prior to applying for a grant please complete this form and submit to Assistant City Manager.

2. What specifically is the grant’s purpose? This grant provides funding to for the design of upgrades to
existing stormwater treatment practices in the Bartlett Brook watershed.

engineer to design upgrades for stormwater treatment practices located in the Irish Farm neighborhood

residential properties along those streets. This project has support from the developer, who still owns and
maintains the existing stormwater system.
4. Total Project Cost:
a. Amount of grant: $40,000
b. Is there a City match required, how much and in what fiscal year(s)? No match is required but
it is encouraged by the grant agency. We are proposing to provide a 20% match, which will amount
to $10,000 in order to cover the remaining design costs above the $40,000 requested in the grant.
This is in addition to staff time for project management.
c. Are there other grants “tied into” or being used as a match for this grant of which are
matching funds for this grant? No
5.From what budget line will match be paid, and is there unencumbered money to pay it? Match (cash
contribution) will be paid from the stormwater utility budget. Specifically, it will be paid from line item
402-12-7100-81.00
6. Is there a cost to the city upon grant conclusion, and if yes, please describe? No
7. Is grant for stand-alone project, and if no, how does grant fit into another project (describe in some
detail)? The grant is for the design of upgrades to three existing stormwater treatment practices that are
part of both the Bartlett Brook Flow Restoration Plan (FRP), as well as the City’s Phosphorous Control
Plan (PCP).
8. Length of grant - will the grant cross fiscal year(s)? May 2021 – March 2023. It will cross fiscal years.
9. Who will apply for grant (name/title)? David Wheeler, Stormwater Superintendent
10. How much time will it take to complete grant application form? 4 hours
11. How likely is it that we will receive grant? Very likely. We have a strong project that aligns with the goal
of the grant. We have also received grants from this organization before.
12. Who will manage (project manager) grant and grant paperwork if approved (if different person than
who is filling out this form), what are any grant compliance requirements, how much time will this
take and how is that time available? Are there funds available in the grant to pay for our
administrative costs? Can in-kind service be used as part of the City match? David Wheeler will serve
as the project manager for this grant. To comply with the grant, we need to complete 4 quarterly reports
and a final report. These reports will be completed by City staff.
13. Describe grant payment process – method of cash flow: The City will complete work approved in the
grant scope of work and request reimbursement from the Lake Champlain Basin Program. These
reimbursements can occur as often as the City would like to request them.
14.Should a Council-appointed Committee, Board, or Commission review this request? The work
proposed under this grant is typical of work completed by stormwater utility staff. For these reasons, a
board or committee appointment seems unnecessary.
15.In terms of priority, with 5 being highest and 1 being lowest, please rate this grant in terms of how it
fits into your primary mission as approved by City Council and current projects to complete that
mission: 5. It is the stormwater utility’s charge to improve stormwater management in the City.

TO: Kevin Dorn, City Manager
FROM: Ilona Blanchard, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Negotate and Execute a Contract
for Shelving for the South Burlington Public Library
DATE: December 17, 2020
BACKGROUND: In October, staff issued a competitive request for proposals for
provision of new furniture, including shelving for the South
Burlington Public Library and City Hall.
All of the existing shelves will move to the new library.
The shelving is primarily new in the children’s section. In
addition, this purchase adds specialty shelving for less traditional
or expanded collections that have not had a full display area
before.
Proposal
The shelving proposal was competitively sought based on
Humphries Poli (now Ratio Design) specifications.
The City received 20 requests for the bid package. While five
vendors submitted bids for the furniture portion of the request
for proposals, only two of the respondents included shelving in
their response. Bidders were not required to bid on both portions
to submit a proposal.
The bids received were as follows:
Exterus $116,661.53.
WB Mason $174,815.00
Exterus is the recommended most responsive bidder on this
project.
The low bid pricing was deemed consistent with other bids on
shelving projects received by the design architect. This company
has a local presence and track record, having provided shelving
for several other libraries in the area.
Funding
Background, Continued, Page 2
The shelving cost is covered by the project budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract
for with Exterus for shelving for the South Burlington Public
Library.

There have been complaints that people are not wearing masks. A letter will be
sent out to business owners reminding them that they have an obligation to see that the
wearing of masks is enforced. Ms. Riehle noted that postal workers have been told to abide by
federal regulations which do not mandate masks. They do have plastic shields which should
protect the public. Ms. Riehle suggested speaking to the Postmaster regarding entry to nursing
homes, etc. where carriers go into the building. Mr. Dorn agreed to do this.
There will be a Steering Committee meeting at 6 p.m. on 20 July, prior to the City
Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. A tour of 180 Market St. is being arranged for 5 p.m. that
evening. Council members are advised to wear boots.
The Summit Health Center will open on Wednesday with a Nurse Practitioner
and Technician on site. Some pharmacy products will be available. Every employee will receive
bio-metric screening.
The Recreation Committee will meet on 16 July to go through the leases for
Underwood and Common Roots. All the lumber for the Wheeler site project is on site, and the
concrete is ready to be poured.
Ms. Riehle noted that Maggie Leugers has had to withdraw from her Dog Park Committee work
and thanked her publicly for all she has done for the city.
5. Consent Agenda:
a. Approve and Sign Disbursements
b. Approve the execution of a commitment letter and legal documents necessary
for the Vermont Bond Bank to issue to a general obligation bond of $5 million
dollars to be serviced with tax increment financing from the City Center TIF District
for the construction of the South Burlington Public Library and City Hall as
authorized by ballot November 6, 2018.
Ms. Emery questioned why two sets of payment figures do not match. Mr. Dorn said the latter
figure is the annualized payment with interest, but he suggested holding this item for Other
Business and asking Ms. Blanchard to give a more complete explanation.
Ms. Emery then moved to approve the disbursements as presented. Mr. Kaufman seconded.
Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
CITY COUNCIL

6.Presentation of Route 116/Tilley Drive Study:
Mr. Saladino of CCRPC reviewed the history of the 3-year study. He noted that it was requested
by South Burlington in 2016 and is federally funded. It looks at proposed development in the,
project area, looks at the impact of that development on the road network, and suggests
possible improvements to that network.
The study area is 900 acres bisected by I-89 which currently has a mix of land uses. It considers
how the transportation system can accommodate growth and still maintain the city’s vision.
Mr. Saladino showed the project area on a map and then explained how various regulatory
plans view this area:
CCRPC – the area is part of the ECOS Plan
South Burlington Land Development Regulations (LDRs) – zoning is mostly
Industrial-Commercial (I-C) and Industrial-Open Space (I-OS), with some residential
South Burlington Comprehensive Plan – medium to higher intensity
development, mainly non-residential except in the western area where there is some residential
in conjunction with mixed use.
Mr. Saladino then showed a map of the projected build-out including planned infrastructure.
A public on-line survey was conducted in 2017 which received 325 responses. Public sentiment
favored parks/open space, single family homes, offices, medical offices, a new I-89 interchange
at Rt. 116, and a connected network of sidewalks and rec paths. Following the survey, some
potential “packages” were put together. The top scorer among those packages was a multi-
modal package with connected streets and paths with the I-89 interchange.
Mr. Saladino then noted that future assumptions estimate the need for 3 new buses to serve
the area ($1.2 million capital costs). All major routes would have multi-use, protected bike
lanes. There would be a new bike/pedestrian overpass, and a Tilley Drive/Kimball Avenue
connector. Overall costs for improvements would be $15 million, $2 million of which would be
for the overpass and the remainder for paths and sidewalks.
Mr. Saladino then presented estimates of trip generation from future land use as follows:
CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 4
Technology Park ………………. 1144 new PM trip ends
Tilley Drive ……………………….. 576 new PM trip ends
O’Brien Farm project ………… 854 new PM trip ends
Meadowlands PUD …………… 122 new PM trip ends
Mr. Saladino noted that some of that development may never happen. They are also
considering 1/3 and 2/3 of projects being built, trip generation with full buildout and a 12B
interchange, and a full buildout with Swift St. Extension being built.
The project also evaluated intersection operations. It found that no additional lanes would be
needed at existing signalized intersections, though some timing changes would be needed.
New roundabouts or signalized intersections would be needed at 116/Meadowland, 116/Van
Sicklen, and 116/Cheesefactory. Additional left turn lanes would be needed at 116/Van Sicklen
and 116/Meadowland. 116/Old Farm Road will need a signal with 2/3 buildout. 116/Tilley
Drive needs a signal now.
Cost estimates for improvements at various levels of development are as follows:
1/3 buildout …………. $11,800,000
2/3 buildout …………. 23,090,000
Full buildout …………. 33,000,000
With Swift St. Ext….. 30,780,000
With Exit 12B …………. 76,635,000 ($48,340,000 of which is for 12B)
Mr. Saladino noted that much of these costs would be paid for by developers.
Operating costs would be about $600,000 annually.
Mr. Saladino said the feeling is that full buildout is unlikely in the near term, and that it can be
accommodated at a cost of $41,000,000.
With regard to Swift St. Extension, Mr. Saladino noted that this would reduce 24% of the traffic
on Kennedy Drive and increase traffic volumes on Tilley Drive by 4%. It will provide emergency
vehicle accessibility and facilitate east-west through trips. The question is whether people want
that connectivity.
CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 5
Exit 12B would provide direct access to the study area from I-89 and would enhance bike/ped
connectivity across I-89. It would also reduce activity at Exit 12 (by17%) and Exit 14 (by 11%).
There is a study underway to continue to evaluate that Interchange.
Mr. Chittenden asked whether a TIF could be put in place to address the costs of these
improvements. He said he has heard this happened elsewhere and he felt it would be valuable
to explore. Mr. Chittenden also asked whether Swift St. Extension could be built to serve
emergency use but with bends, etc., to slow traffic down. Mr. Saladino said a 25 mph road is
envisioned that would not have a “straight line concept.” Traffic calming could be used to make
it more desirable.
Ms. Emery asked how many people in South Burlington favored 12B. Mr. Saladino said he
would get that information to Mr. Dorn. Ms. Emery cited the need to reduce traffic at Exit 12
but also to “strike a balance.” She also said she would like to explore employee housing that
would be right across from workplaces to cut down on trips.
Mr. Barritt said 12B seems to be a long-term investment that would pay off. People have to go a
long way to reach exists 12 and 13 which creates congestion on surface roads. Mr. Barritt also
noted that residents of Village at Dorset Park are opposed to the Swift St. Extension.
Mr. Mittag said Spear Street residents also oppose that road. He said they were told that they
could have a rec/bike path with use for emergency vehicles instead of the road.. He also felt the
small number of people in the survey made it invalid. Ms. Dooley said it is very hard to keep
motorized vehicles of those paths if they are wide enough for emergency vehicle use. She lives
next door to one, and this is a continuing problem.
7.Appoint representative to Green Mountain Transit (erroneously listed in the
Agenda as CCRPC):
Mr. Chittenden nominated Charlie Baker as representative to Green Mountain Transit. Ms.
Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
Ms. Riehle noted this is a 3-year terms.
8.Discussion and possible Council action on further investment in the conservation
of property located in the Southeast Quadrant of South Burlington known as the
Auclair property:
CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 6
Ms. Riehle noted that the Council had discussed possibilities for the Auclair “B” parcel. Since
that time, Mr. Conner has come up with some options.
Mr. Conner noted that Parcel “A” has been conserved. Parcel “C” is nearly completed. The city
has contributed $600,00 toward conservation of the properties. There is a match for any non-
federal money to complete conservation of Parcel “B.” Mr. Conner showed a map indicating the
3 parcels then suggested the following options:
Option 1: No further action. This would conserve 2/3 of Parcel “B” with
development likely on the remaining 1/3
Option 2: The city could contribute $309,000 from the Open Space Fund to
conserve all of Parcel “B” except for 9 homes.
Option 3: Explore and negotiate an area of land for future recreational use. The
city would contribute $309,000 or NRCS match and exclude 5-8 acres for future recreational
use. There could be public ownership of the land. There would be an additional cost of
$30,000-$50,000 an acre, but the $309,000 would drop somewhat.
Mr. Barritt asked if the city would get walking paths with Option 1. Mr. Conner said he though
they could get connections as envisioned.
Mr. Bliss explained the nature of the Vermont Agrarian Commons which is working on fund-
raising for conservation. The land would be held in common, and there would be a 99 year
lease-back to Bread & Butter Farm which could be transferred to any other farm in the future.
Options for South Burlington could recreational opportunities. Mr. Bliss also noted the
educational component of Bread & Butter Farms.
Mr. Kaufman cited the importance of recreational opportunities.
Mr. Chittenden liked Option 2B which provides future options and doesn’t deplete the Open
Space Fund as much. Mr. Conner estimated $250,000 to $400,000. It was also noted that there
could be recreational grants. Mr. Conner said the down side is the additional funding and the
fact that until that time the land is “up in the air.”
CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 7
Ms. Riehle asked if there is a time limit to finding the additional money. It was noted that the
right-of-first-refusal expires in 2026. The time limit on federal money is next March. Mr. Conner
said that is something to work with Dirt Capital with.
Mr. Barritt said he prefers Option 1. He felt the city did its part to make the deal happen and
didn’t want to spend more on that part of the Southeast Quadrant.
Ms. Emery preferred Option 2 but would support 2B. Mr. Chittenden supported 1 or 2B. Mr.
Kaufman supported 2B to carve out something everyone could enjoy. Ms. Riehle supported 2 or
2B.
Mr. Kaufman then moved to go with Option 2B as it offers the most opportunity going forward.
Mr. Chittenden seconded the motion. In the roll call vote that followed, the motion passed 4-1
with Mr. Barritt voting against.
9.Public Hearing on proposed Land Development Regulation amendments:
A.LDR-19-13A: Modify existing Inclusionary Zoning requirements and extend
applicability to include all lands that underline the Transit Overlay District, all
lands within the City Center Form Based Code District, and all lands in the
vicinity of Hinesburg Road and Old Farm Road that are north of I-89 and are
outside the Transit Overlay District.
B.LDR-19-13B: Modify Affordable Housing Density Bonus Standards as follows:
(1) reduce applicable area to only those areas not subject to proposed
Inclusionary Zoning standards (LDR-19-13A) and (2) adjust requirements for
income eligibility and continued affordability for all remaining parts of the City:
Mr. Conner noted these amendments were the result of a collaborative effort between the
Planning Commission, Affordable Housing Committee and the private sector. The amendments
were passed onto the Council by the Planning Commission with no dissenting votes.
Ms. Louisos said the amendments will expand the Inclusionary Zoning area to the Transit
Overlay District and nearby area. Any development with 12 or more units would provide
affordable housing in perpetuity for 15% of rentals and 10% of owned units. Ms. Louisos also
CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 8
noted that the law requires offsets to the developer for those inclusionary units, either for
parking or additional units. There are some density increases or the dedication of land in lieu of
constructing units. There are also provisions for offset credits for larger (3 & 4 bedroom, e.g.)
units. In other areas of the city, there are changes to the affordable bonus program to make
definitions consistent and to be sure the city doesn’t wind up with a lot of small inclusionary
units.
Ms. Louisos also noted that these amendments relate back to the City’s Goals and Strategies in
the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Riehle questioned the “four unrelated adults” language. Mr. Conner said different
communities define “household” differently. He noted that language has been in place since
the ‘70s.
Ms. Dooley expressed gratitude to Mr. Conner, staff, the Planning Commission, Affordable
Housing Committee, Regina Mahoney of CCRPC, and the developers who worked to provide
this.
There was no further public comment.
Mr. Barritt moved to close the public hearing. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
10. Possible Action to Adopt Proposed Land Development Regulations amendments
#LDR-19-13A and LDR-19-13B:
Mr. Barritt moved to adopt LDR-19-13A and LDR-19-13B as presented. Ms. Emery seconded.
Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
11. Interim Zoning Application #IZ-20-01 public hearing seeking a Jurisdictional
Opinion for the resubdivision of three parcels totaling 3.65 acres and for the
development up to 15 dwelling units in buildings containing no more than four
dwelling units per building for the “Park Road” phase of a previously approved
Master Plan for a 450-acre golf course and 354-unit residential development, 1170
and 1180 Dorset Street:
It was noted that this item would be continued to the meeting of 20 July 2020.

CITY COUNCIL
6 JULY 2020
PAGE 10
16. Other Business:
Ms. Blanchard explained the apparent discrepancy in numbers in the Consent Agenda item “B”.
She noted that the figures from the bond bank are for 18 years, and the city requested 17 years.
She will talk with the bond bank people tomorrow to get this adjusted. She recommended
approving the term and amount. She also noted this is a good time to do this as the supply of
cash is at a good level. She anticipated the city could end up with a lower interest rate than on
other bonds.
Mr. Barritt then moved to approve Consent Agenda Item “B” as written for a term of 17 years.
Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
As there was no further business to come before the Council Ms. Emery moved to adjourn.
Mr. Kaufman seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05

Staff is doing the required programs regarding sexual harassment.
A lawsuit has been filed against 12 communities asking for opening of City Clerks’
offices so that title searches can be done more expeditiously. The communities are taking this
seriously. Ms. Riehle noted she spoke with the Chair from Plainfield who noted that Clerks and
Assistant Clerks do go to cars of lawyers, find out what buildings they are interested in, photo-
copy information and bring it to them. Mr. Dorn noted that South Burlington just asks people
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020

to make appointments. He noted that the 12 communities are banding together to share the
costs involved in the suit.
The schedule for 180 Market Street is starting to slip a bit, and the original occupancy
date of 29 June may be moved to July.
Mr. Dorn, Mr. Conner, Mr. Rabidoux and Mr. Cate met with UVM and learned they have
significant delays around their athletic facilities. The new event center is on hold.
5. Consent Agenda:
a. Approve Disbursements
b. Approve Revised Agreement to Reconstruct Stonehedge Drainage Swale
Ms. Emery questioned a possible discrepancy in amounts. Mr. Dorn said one figure looks like
design, the other for permitting, but he will check to be sure.
Mr. Barritt thanked the stormwater people for working to solve this issue.
Mr. Chittenden moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded.
Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
6. Consider and possibly approve a new member to the Library Board of Trustees
(candidate has already been interviewed for the position by the Council):
Ms. Emery moved to appoint Alicia Lamonda to the Library Board of Trustees. Mr. Barritt
seconded. Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
Mr. Dorn noted that Ms. Lamonda will fill and unexpired term.
7. Update from Snyder/Braverman/City Center LLC on City Center development:
Mr. Braverman noted this is a difficult time for their industry, and they are very grateful to be
doing so well. This year they permitted 176 units in City Center. They have a new building with
43 units adjacent to the Garden Apartments which they will be closing on at the end of January
or beginning of February. A 133-unit building behind Healthy Living is fully permitted and
shovel ready when COVID calms down.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 3
Ms. Riehle asked if the 43-unit building is market rate. Mr. Braverman said they are going to be
made affordable as the need is even greater now. The building will be called Dover Place. He
showed the building concept and said it will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments,
compatible with the adjacent building. It will also provide a source of jobs which are very much
needed in addition to the affordable housing. The financing is lined up and ready to go.
Mr. Braverman then showed a concept for Prospect Place which is also ready to go when things
rebound from COVID. He pointed out a park feature and the design of Garden Street (with
traffic calming elements). These units will be market rate. Parking will be behind the building
and also underground. Dover Place has underground parking.
Mr. Dorn noted that both buildings will impact the TIF revenue.
Mr. Snyder said they anticipate Dover Place will be ready for occupancy on March 2022. He
noted there are weird things happening in the industry. They can’t buy a refrigerator anywhere!
The hope is that by the middle of 2021 those challenges will have worked their way out. He
noted that financing is favorable.
Mr. Chittenden asked what is the thinking regarding Garden Street and the expiring of the TIF
“clock.” Mr. Dorn said some of that will be part of the budget review. Mr. McKenzie said they
use lot sales to fund infrastructure expenses. In anticipation of Prospect Place, they built the
south section. He said that Garden Street South will be done either before the Midas Street
section is done or before another building is constructed.
8. (formerly agenda item 14) Approve posting for City Manager position and
procedure for soliciting and evaluating applications:
Ms. Riehle said the position will be posted with VLCT and similar organizations in the New
England states. The application deadline is 4 January 2021. The thought is to create a small
committee with members of the public and employees to winnow down the applicants and do
the first round of interviews. The Council would do the final interviews. The plan is to have a 2-
month overlap with Mr. Dorn and the new City Manager.
Ms. Emery moved to approve the job posting for City Manager. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion
passed unanimously.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020

9. (formerly agenda item 15): Councilors’ Reports from Committee Assignments:
Ms. Riehle: The Airport Commission met last week, but she could not attend. There was a 2-
2 vote on expanding the Commission to add a person from Winooski. Ms. Riehle said she would
have voted in favor. The Burlington City Council is voting on this tonight, and they are aware she
would have supported it.
10. Liquor Control Board (formerly agenda item 16):
Ms. Emery moved that the Council reconvene as Liquor Control Board. Mr. Barritt seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
Members considered a request for a Second Class Liquor License from Red Barn Market and
Deli. Mr. Dorn noted the building has been inspected all during construction. He had no
concern that there is not yet a Certificate of Occupancy.
Mr. Kaufman moved to approve the Second Class Liquor License for Red Barn Market as
presented. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
Mr. Barritt then moved to reconvene as City Council. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Barritt noted that there was a bad accident at VanSicklen/Hinesburg Road recently and
asked whether the State has responded to the city’s request to lower the speed limit in that
area. Mr. Dorn said he will check with the Public Works Director.
11. (previously #8): Public hearing on proposed Land Development Regulation
amendments:
. LDR-17-13A: Allow for increase in maximum lot coverage on properties with land
in the Urban Design Overlay District via installation of an on-site civic space
. LDR-17-13B: Allow for increase in maximum lot coverage on properties with land
in the Urban Design Overlay District via use of Transferable Development Rights
from designated Sending Areas
. LDR-20-18A: Eliminate requirement for submission of paper copies of applications
under the Land Development Regulations
. Possible action to adopt proposed Land Development Regulations amendments
#LDR17-13A, LDR-17-13B, LDR-19-06, and LDR-20-18A
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 5
Mr. Chittenden moved to open the public hearing. Mr. Kaufman seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
Ms. Louisos gave an overview of the amendments. She noted that the first two allow a 10%
increase in lot coverage in the Urban Design Overlay District via one of two methods, either
installing a high quality civic space or purchasing a TDR. The third amendment updates the
types of open space (e.g., mini-park, snippet parklet). The fourth amendment allows for
electronic submission of applications.
Public comment was solicited. There was no public comment.
Mr. Barritt moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Chittenden then moved to pass the proposed Amendments as presented. Mr. Barritt
seconded. Motion passed unanimously via a roll call vote.
12.(previously #9 on the agenda): Presentation of proposed updates to Land
Development Regulations to include Habitat Blocks, Habitat Connectors, and other
amendments to Environmental Protection Standards:
Ms. Louisos said the proposed updates are still in draft format. The Planning Commission has
been working on different pieces and will see the whole thing together for the first time
tomorrow night. They are also working on the development piece which will allow for more
compact development in some areas.
Ms. Louisos then showed a summary table of environmental standards including old and new
protection zones. She specifically referred to “Level 1 Resources (habitat blocks, connectors,
etc.) which would be no-build zones; Level 2 Resources where some level of development would
be allowed; and the 500-year flood plain where undeveloped land would be no-build zones and
developed areas would allow expansion and new builds under specific guidelines.
A map was then shown of what this means on the ground. Ms. Louisos indicated areas of very
restricted development and what is already protected/conserved. A map was then shown of
what is already built.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 6
On the map of hazards and level 1 resources, Ms. Louisos noted that the Commission did some
revisions to adjust the edges. They have also drawn in habitat connector areas which would
have to be indicated in a development plan. A map was then show adding the Level 2
resources.
Ms. Louisos noted the Ethan Allen Industrial Park, which is in the 500-year floodplain. This area
would have new standards, and new buildings would have to be built above the flood plain and
would have to incorporate resiliency standards and adhere to State guidelines. Mr. Conner
noted that for the past 20 years, the city has not allowed new buildings in the 100-year
floodplain. The State model has language also not allowing new buildings there.
Regarding the habitat blocks, Ms. Louisos noted that some lines are not perfect, and the
Commission has agreed to options for someone to request a change in how things are laid out
on the property.
Ms. Emery noted the importance of “old trees,” not just cutting them down and planting new
ones. Mr. Conner noted that the criteria to determine whether it is appropriate to build on a
portion of a forest block does take into account the quality of the area.
Ms. Louisos said the Commission would welcome additional comments.
13. (previously #10): Update on Preparation of Climate Action Plan:
Mr. Conner reviewed the history. He said staff is looking at a multi-pronged, 2-phased
approach. Phase I, which would occur in January/February, would involve working with CCRPC
to help build the framework for and “enhanced energy plan.” CCRPC already has some data.
The objective in the first half of the year would be to reaffirm the Council’s resolution and
identify targets set forth as “next steps.”
The second phase, in the next fiscal year, would attack energy by “sector” such as
transportation energy which would develop tools to increase electric vehicles, shift away from
single occupancy cars, etc. It would also address commuters to the city who come in to work
every day.
A working team is being put together with the Energy Committee, and they will then work with
business partners, developers, etc. Ms. Emery said it is important to engage the Economic
Development Committee as well.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 7
Mr. Conner said there is time in this fiscal year for Step 1, though they are still one person short
in the Planning Department. This will also depend on Council budget decisions.
Ms. Riehle said the Council would want to see some immediate action items, what can be done
to make a difference. Mr. Conner felt there are some short term things that can be done.
Mr. Chittenden said he is hoping to get on the Transportation Committee in the State Senate.
He felt there are real opportunities to shift transportation patterns. Mr. Conner said that
making City Center a reality is very important in terms of transportation, as it will allow people
to walk to work, shopping, etc.
14.(formerly #11): Preliminary budget discussion on operations budget for new
Library:
Mr. Leduc reviewed the history and particularly noted the additional space in the new Library
for technology, engagement of children, adults and seniors, and spaces to gather. He also noted
that the economic situation is now different from what had been anticipated., and the question
is how to fulfill the community’s expectations when the doors open.
Mr. Lenski said the plan now is to increase FTEs from 8 to 11 in FY22 to support increased hours
of operation, expanded programs, children’s and young adults after school programs, and
support services for increased patrons. Mr. Lenski then reviewed the proposed new hours of
operation which will increase from 40 hours a week through 2021 to 48 hours in the first half of
2022, and then to 61 hours in FY2023. To support these hours, a 20% increase in staffing will be
needed in FY22 and 12% increase in maintenance and leasing. There would also be a one-time
cost for computers and self-checkout machines. Mr. Lenski said that over time, the costs per
open hour and FTE would decrease.
Ms. Murray noted one expense would be “room reservations software” to address the 7 or 8
available rooms for meetings, etc. People would be able to make reservations on line.
Mr. Riehle asked about the lifespan of the checkout machines. Ms. Murray noted that libraries
around the world are trying new things. She understood the lifetime of the machines is 10
years. With a lease ($35,000) the city would own the machines after 5 years. The outright
purchase price would be $25,000.

15. (formerly #12): Overview of Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2022:
Mr. Hubbard said the Library will be a major cost driver (just under $200,000). Other cost
drivers are health insurance ($120,000), Employee Contract obligations ($300,000), property
insurance and Worker’s Compensation ($90,000). There is also an anticipated decrease in local
option tax revenue of about $250,000.
Regarding the CIP, Mr. Hubbard first addressed items funded from the General Fund. He felt
that the proposed $1,000,000 for highway work is feasible. He did feel that the $750,000 for
replacement of vehicles should be looked at. The $100,000 for removal of ash trees may have
to be revisited. There is a need to replace some equipment in the ambulances in order to keep
certification up to date. The financing of the Police Station will peter off in the next few years
and will be paid for by local option taxes and impact fees. The proposed replacement of 3
police vehicles may have to be reconsidered. There are also funds for replacement of tasers and
handguns which has to be done every 7 years with costs split over 2 years. In FY23, there will
be an item for body cameras and storage to file that data.
Items in the CIP for Recreation/Parks include sidewalk repair, upgrade of tennis courts and
pickle ball courts at Szymanski Park, IT hardware, public art, and a bond payment.
Regarding items funded outside the General Fund, Mr. Hubbard noted these include: police
vehicle replacement, building stewardship at the Police Station, South Village soccer fields
(funded by impact fees), dugout replacement (funded by user fees), upgrade to bathrooms at
the Park (funded by impact fees), dog parks (funded by recreation impact fees), open space
projects and bike/ped improvements (there will be a presentation on this at the meeting on 4
January), indoor recreation center planning (funded by recreation fees), energy projects, City
Center (including Garden Street), and enterprise fund projects.
Ms. Blanchard said Garden Street is the next project up for funding. It is currently at 60%
designed. The project is 100% TIF eligible. Ms. Blanchard noted that the city got a one-year
extension from 2022 to 2023 to incur debt in the TIF district. The intention is for the City
Council to consider authorization for the first part of Garden Street (Dorset Street to the end of
Healthy Living Road, including sidewalk and water line connection) and Dover Place through
Midas Drive, which is a whole new construction. The cost is in the range of $4,000,000. Staff
proposes this got to the voters in March 2021 for construction at the end of 2021.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 9
Ms. Riehle asked whether TIF income will cover the Garden Street proposal. Ms. Blanchard said
the overall Snyder-Braverman development will cover that. The city would carry the debt until
full build out. It can by funded by the usual appropriation.
Mr. Dorn stressed the need to think about the ability to incur debt by March 2023. The bond
bank issuance of 2022 would require an August/September public vote. He recommended
taking the $4,000,000 to the voters in March 2021 because there will be something else in
2022. This will require public education and warnings. He asked that the Council make a
decision on 21 December.
Mr. Chittenden said he supports this plan.
Mr. Barritt said the Council needs to look at the best/worst case for City Center build out. Mr.
Dorn said he will prepare that for December 21st.
Ms. Emery asked about local option taxes. Mr. Hubbard said they now have a $4,000,000
projection. $3,600,000, of that is committed to bond payment with the balance to help offset
the general fund. He felt that an overall projection of $3,700,000 would be more prudent at
this time. Ms. Emery noted that there is talk of a “rebound” in the second half of next year.
Mr. Chittenden noted receipt of an email today regarding the scheduling of Town Meeting
elections. He said the city might want to consider pushing it to April. Ms. Riehle said the city
would have to budget some educational money. Mr. Dorn said there will have to be a schedule
for required public hearings.
Ms. Emery felt the Energy and Economic Development Committees should be actively
advocating for the vote. Ms. Riehle suggested inviting them to the December 21st meeting.
16. (formerly #13): Identify and discuss items for Legislators for upcoming session:
Mr. Dorn referred to a memorandum of issues that have been recommended. These include:
a. Police: gaps in delivery of crisis services to citizens (there is no 24-hour crisis
center that will take everyone including those who are violent and/or drunk).
This is a statewide/nationwide issue, and legislative policy will need to be
changed. Also use of force legislation, prohibited restraint, storage costs for
body cameras.
CITY COUNCIL
7 DECEMBER 2020
PAGE 10
b. Planning: Bill S237 (part of which didn’t pass), effort for statewide rental
registry, Act 250 amendments to ease the permitting burden in downtown
centers.
c. Highway: re-establishment of some programs
d. Including wastewater/sewage personnel as “essential personnel”
e. Threats that prohibit spreading Class A bio-solids on land (to avoid potential
costs of $500,000 to transport them to a landfill
f. Frontline employee’s relief money
g. Technology piece for unified dispatch center
h. State ownership of Burlington International Airport with regional governance
(possible study bill)
i. Educational spending (the estimated 9% increase is crowding out municipal
needs even as enrollments continue to go down
Mr. Kaufman said what he doesn’t see is the city getting a greater share of the local option tax.
Now the State gets 30% plus $80,000 processing fee. He felt the city needs a better deal. Ms.
Riehle added that Burlington doesn’t pay any of that. Mr. Dorn said he would add that to the
list.
17. Other Business:
Ms. Emery noted receipt of a letter from the Vermont Air Guard regarding serving on a
Restoration Advisory Board. Other members also received this letter. Mr. Dorn said he would
try to get more information. Ms. Emery said she would do it if it makes sense.
Mr. Barritt suggested asking Mr. Rabidoux if the East Woods sewer has paid for itself. Mr. Dorn
said he would check. He noted there is still a tiny payment to Burlington ($5000) for a couple of
properties where sewage still goes to Burlington.
As there was no further business to come before the Council Mr. Chittenden moved to
adjourn. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at
9:50 p.m.

SUBJECT: Potential Ballot Question re: TIF District for the 2021 Town
Meeting (Garden Street)
DATE: December 18, 2020
BACKGROUND: The Garden Street Project, referred to as “Street A” in the TIF
District Plan, has been in design since 2014. This connection is
between Dorset Street (between Trader Joe’s and Healthy
Living) to Midas Drive. The overall Garden Street Project
includes the White Street/Midas Drive to Hinesburg
Road/Patchen Road portion of Williston Road and includes plans
to upgrade those intersections and the space between.
South Burlington City Center, LLC (South Burlington Realty) is
in the process of building the sections on their property, having
completed the section north of Market Street, and the stormwater
and utility infrastructure for the section south of Market Street.
Three sections are in the public realm for completion: the western
section at Dorset (southern streetscape, curb work, and utilities),
the connection between the South Burlington City Center, LLC
property and Midas Drive (full roadway constructions including
all streetscape and utilities), and the intersection portion
(streetscaping, utilities, intersection realignment). This project is
entirely TIF District Financing eligible.
The western section and connector section are proposed for
construction at this time.
Two rounds of public outreach were held for this project. The
project Purpose and Need Statement adopted by the Planning
Commission and 60% Plans developed from the concepts and
alignment approved by the City Council are attached.
In the planning and authorization of the TIF District, as well as
Background, Continued, Page 2
the administration of the TIF District, costs are incurred. These
are also eligible for reimbursement from TIF District tax
increment. Funds may be directly transferred from the TIF
District Fund (they do not need to be borrowed), but the State
requires any such reimbursement to be voted on by the voters.
These costs include expenditures from the initial development
and review of the TIF District application, public votes on ballot
items, incurring debt, and audits (City and State).
A portion of the recommended authorization would be used for
related costs.
TIF DISTRICT FINANCING FOR GARDEN STREET
This project is anticipated to be funded with primarily TIF
District Financing. Some of the design costs have been funded
with Impact Fees as cash on hand and may continue to do so.
This is modeled at $650,000 for this portion of the project.
A spreadsheet has been attached which contains three sets of
models:
• TIF Fund Model - authorizations to date with this
proposed authorization (includes an updated estimate of
future increment only for the existing development and
the South Burlington City Center, LLC property
(optioned to Snyder-Braverman).
• Reserve Fund (this acts as a cushion to ensure cash
solvency as the TIF District builds out).
• A model of remaining potential future TIF District Fund
debt authorizations not proposed at this time.
The debt modeled is an 18 year term at 1.
DEBT AUTHORIZATION.
The draft ballot question (see Article I, attached) authorizes
general obligation debt against the full faith and credit of the City
for TIF District financing in the amount of ($4,002,550) which
includes the roadway and related costs.
Article I also adds Garden Street to the prior authorization by
voters for Market
Any debt secured under this authorization will not raise the tax
rate. TIF District Financing increment is the primary source that
would service this debt authorization.
Background, Continued, Page 3
At the time that this phase of the Garden Street Project
construction costs are known (once all portions of the project are
bid out), based on the proposed authorization, the City Council
will be asked to consider issuing debt. Debt would most likely be
one bond issuance and serviced by TIF District financing. It is
unlikely, that Bond Anticipation Notes would used due to the
very low current interest rate, however, in case they are prudent,
the authorization information will not a possibility of using
BANs as required by TIF statues.
The requested authorization number is a ceiling of total debt but
includes related costs (see spreadsheet) which would be a direct
transfer (not a bond) from the TIF District Increment Fund at
some point in the future when the fund balance allows.
City Center CIP Reserve Fund. The City Center CIP Reserve Fund
would be used absorb the effect of negative balances so that it
does not affect the overall City cash balance. It provides a
cushion for TIF District Fund until the South Burlington City
Center, LLC property is built out and pipeline and future
development projects in the TIF District go onto the Grand List.
The attached spreadsheet does not model potential increment
from other properties in the TIF District, which if redeveloped
would increase the increment collected.
Related Costs. “Related costs” are costs incurred in the
establishment of the TIF District, administration of the TIF
District and soft costs for project development. Some of these
costs may not be reimbursed by bond debt, but are eligible for
direct reimbursement to the City with excess TIF district
increment once debt is serviced. The related cost authorization
language in Article I provides for the City to be reimbursed from
the TIF District funds for eligible related cost expenditures at
such time in the future that the TIF District Fund Balance
allows.
ATTACHMENT: • Garden Street Project 60% draft – West end and
Connector
• Estimated Debt Service Schedule (Bond, TIF Fund, and
Reserve Fund models)
• Purpose and Need Statement approved by the Planning
Commission (see link)
RECOMMENDATION: Consider warning a public hearing for Article I regarding TIF
District Financing for Garden Street and related costs for the
