8. The applicant shall provide the City Planner prior to ermit noise
data to show that the applicant will-fullywill-fully comply with Table II,
art 3 of the South Bur in ton Zonin Ordinance. If the Planner
oes not find full compliance, this approval is null and void.
9. Quarry activity shall commence within 6 months or this approval
is null and void.
Mrs. Peacock seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
3. Site Plan application of Dennis Blodgett for conversion of ex-
isting ui in o office space and demolition o structures at
1340-42 Shelburne Rd.
Mr. Levigen explained that the 2 parcels total 7.3 acres. Only 2.77
acres are being considered for this proposal. Mr. Bbdgett proposes
to use the existing building for his insurance offices. He will
demolish the sheds, clean up the site, and put in a gravel drive.
The historic house will be preserved. 10 parking spaces are pro-
vided. Mr. Blodgett has 3 employees.
Mr. Dooley asked where the access would be for the lower lot. Mr.
Levigne said probably through the Holmes Rd. Extension. He said
they are asking to keep the Shelburne Rd. access open until they
develop further. Mr. Jacob said it was OK with him until there is
any construction on thelot or on the other lot.
Mrs. Lafleur noted that IDS will deed half of the Holmes Rd. Ext.
right -of-way and Blodgett the other half, but Blodgett will have
to build it because the Commission didn't require IDS to do so.
She noted that Lakewood, the development acress the street, has
planned to put in only a 3-way signal. Mr. Jacob said they must
be told to put in a 4-way signal. Mr. Blodgett noted Lakewood had
approached them about asking them to help pay to make it a 4-way
signal.
Mrs. Lafleur noted that when Holmes Rd. Ext. is built, the access
to this development would have to be back far enough from the
intersection.
Mr. Jacob suggested letting the agolicant use the existing drive
for renovation, etc. When that is complete, they should use
a driveway from Holmes Rd.
Mr. Dooley moved that the Planning Commission a rove the site plan
application of Dennis Blodgett or conversion of the existing
sq. ft. building to office s ace as epicted on a plan entitled
:Site Plan - Blodgett Deve o men Shelburne Road, South Bu n ton
Vermont" prepared a y Wiemann-Lamp ere, dated February 12, 1987 with
the followinipulations :
1. All landscaping requirements are waived.

4. Site plan application of Allson Partnership (Nordic Ford/Toyota)
Tor —construction of a5500 sq. ft. a di ion to the existing building
and revisions to parking lots at 40 and 50 Green Mountain Drive.
Mr. Anderson said that after talking with the Fire Chief, they
have agreed to put a hydrant to his specifications at the entrance
to the driveway.
Regarding Mr. Szymanski's request for a 4-foot landscaped strip in
front of the building, Mr. Anderson said this would eliminate a
parking row. The building isn't seen from the road.
Mr. Dooley asked about seeing a new drainage plan. Mrs. Lafleur
said the application would have to go to Wagner, Heindel & Noyes
for review. Mr. Anderson noted they have cut down on the paved
area.
Mr. Dooley then moved that the Planning Commission a rove the site
an a ica ion o A son Partnership for cons ruction o a
s t. addition to the existing "Mils a e" buuildin at 40 Ureen

, It
Attorney. The deed will not be accepted until the quarrying is
completed or further development is built along this road but the
City should not forego this opportunity. For the balance of road
through to Williston an offer of dedication should be made to the
City. The road could continue directly across Muddy Brook or
connect to the existing access road from South Brownell Road.
The latter is a better choice since access to S. Brownell would
be more immediate. The access should be built to commercial
standards. See Bill Szymanski's memo regarding this.
Landscaping: No landscaping plan was submitted. I suggest that
the developer plant large street trees (3-4 inch caliper, 60 feet
on center) along the road to Route 116 to affect noise and dust.
Some screening of the quarry toward the interstate may also be
necessary. The stockpile areas appear to be fairly well screened
with existing, mature vegetation.
Traffic: Enclosed is a traffic study by Tyler Hart of Trudell.
Also, enclosed is a level of service analysis at the Route 116,
Quarry access road intersection. Vehicles turning left onto
Hinesburg Road will have a level of service D in both the A.M.
and P.M. Mr. Hart feels the new quarry traffic is minimal (28
trip ends maximum per hour) and that neither an acceleration
lane, a signal or other devices are required. Craig Leiner's
comments will be available at.the meeting.
Noise: The Zoning Board permitted 12 hour a day, 6 day per week
operation. This seems excessive. Holidays were not specifically
mentioned. (see ZBA minutes)
Other: See Bill Szymanski's memo.
3) BLODGETT, 1340 SHELBURNE ROAD
Dennis Blodgett proposes to convert the existing building to an
office for his insurance business. The lot is located north of
the new IDS building site and is the location of the proposed
Holmes Road extension through to Spear Street. The building was
formerly Melandy's Chain Saw and is an historic building. The
front of the property is zoned Commercial-1 and the rear is zoned
Residential-4.
General: This plan is poorly done. The lot dimensions, size and
coverage figures are not shown. The 80 foot r.o.w. should be
clearly delineated. It is not a uniform 80 foot strip but
rather, it angles slightly south. Revised plans should be
submitted prior to permit.
Access: The developer proposes to use the existing driveway on
Route 7. I suggest that the developer close all Shelburne Road
driveways and use the proposed Holmes Road extension for access
to this property. The Commission should require offers of dedi-
cation and a deed for the 80 foot r.o.w. The legals must be
2
I
reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to permit.
Circulation and Parking: The circulation and parking are
adequate. The building requires eight spaces; eight are shown.
Landscaping: The developer proposes no new landscaping. He has
no cost estimates for the interior renovations on which we base
landscaping. I suggest that the Commission require the developer
to landscape the parking lot to screen it from Shelburne Road and
Holmes Road extension.
Traffic: This 2.04 acre lot allows 44 trip ends during the peak
hour if access is approved from the private drive to Route 7. If
access is approved from Holmes Road extension, a future
signalized intersection, 67 trip ends would be allowed. The
applicant projects 5 trip ends maximum during the peak hour.
The ITE data confirm this estimate.
Other: This site is very wet, especially in the rear where there
are springs. A review by Wagner, Heindel & Noyse is required
prior to permit since the amount of pavement will increase. See
Bill Szymanski's and Chief Goddette's comments.
4) ALLSON PARTNERSHIP, 40 AND 50 GREEN MOUNTAIN DRIVE
Nordic Ford/Toyota proposes to add a 3,500 square foot addition
to the former Mid -State Trucking building. A 152 space vehicle
storage lot is also part of this lot. In addition, the parking
lot that was approved a few weeks ago is slightly revised in
order to provide a better connection between the two lots.
Lot coverage is reduced from the previously approved amounts.
The building lot originally had 42% green space; the new plan is
43% green space. The parking lot had 51% green area and now has
62% green space.
Access and Circulation are improved.
Landscaping: The landscaping plan on the parking lot (#40 Green
Mountain Drive) has been revised as specified at the last
meeting. It now includes red pine as well. The building lot
shows plantings that were installed as part of the 1986
construction. A $3000 bond shall be posted prior to permit for
new landscaping. The landscaping should also be reviewed by IDS
since it differs from the original plans.
Other: See Bill Szymanski's memo.
5) GAHAGEN, 1810 SHELBURNE ROAD
Mr. Gahagen proposes to construct a 7000 square foot car wash
building that includes one drive -through bay and an automotive
accessory service for pin -striping, buffing, waxing etc. The

2) GREEN ACRES QUARRY, HINESBURG ROAD
1. Lane Press -Quarry access road east of Route 116 is a
dangerous intersection. Until the Quarry.Road become a public
street, it should yield to the Lane Press drive and so marked
with standard signs. When the Quarry Road is upgraded and
becomes public as Swift Street extension, the Lane Press drive
will be a standard driveway.
2. Quarry Road construction should include at least an 18 inch
thick gravel base plus a sand cushion where sub soils warrant it.
The width of the road should be at least 24 feet. Subdivision
along this road will require it to be upgraded to City standards.
'3) BLODGETT`DEVELOPMENT, SHELBURNE ROAD
1. The abandoned road openings shall be closed with granite
curbs as exists. %,
2. Future Holmes Road rights -of -way shall be deeded to the City.
The limits are as designated on previous withdrawn proposal.
3. This development should access from future Holmes Road
extension at least 150' from intersection not from Shelburne
Road.
4. A storm drainage plan shall be submitted.
4) ALLSON PARTNERSHIP, NORDIC FORD, SHELBURNE ROAD
1. There should be a landscaped strip between the building
addition and the parking spaces. This strip should be at least 4
feet in width.
