TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Ray Belair, Administrative Officer,
RE: June 4, 2002 agenda items
DATE: May 26, 2002
2) CONTINUED — APPEAL OF A DECISION OF THE CODE OFFICER, 40 IDX
DRIVE.
This hearing was continued from the 3/5/02 meeting (minutes enclosed). A revision of
the sign ordinance was completed and the sign ordinance is warned for the June 3, 2002
City Council meeting. The staff comments below assume that the sign ordinance will be
passed by the City Council on June 31d as proposed. Should this not be the case staff will
advise the Development Review Board accordingly on June 4`h
This is an appeal of a decision of the Code Officer pursuant to Section 29 of the South
Burlington Sign Ordinance denying sign permit application #SN-01-42 of IDX Systems
Corporation. This permit was originally denied because the proposed 230 square foot
free-standing sign exceeds the size limitation of 80 square feet.
This property located at 40 IDX Drive is within the Commercial 2 District and fronts on
Shelburne Road.
The applicant submitted a sign permit application (#SN-01-42) for a free-standing sign
described as being 15.2 sq. ft. in size. Pursuant to Section 8, Free Standing Signs of the
Sign Ordinance, the applicant is entitled to an 80 sq. ft. sign. The proposed sign has been
erected without a permit.
Under the proposed South Burlington Sign, which is warned for a final public hearing on
June P, Ordinance the 230 square foot sign is allowed under Section 14, Landscape
Feature Signs (please review the included section of the sign ordinance). A landscape
feature sign maybe utilized in place of a freestanding sign on a lot eligible for a
freestanding sign. Because this sign would exceed the standard dimensions proposed for
a landscape feature sign (6' in maximum height and 4' in average height). The sign is 7'
at its maximum height and 5' in average height. Therefore the DRB must make findings
to allow the sign to exceed the standard dimensions, as follows:
1) The sign will not appear unduly bulky or massive from any public street,
sidewalk, public land or traveled way
2) The sign will not present a hazard to traffic or pedestrian safety
3) The sign will be in keeping with the scale and character or other landscaping on
the same and adjacent lots.
Having reviewed the sign in several different respects over the past several months, staff
have no problem recommending approval of the sign as constructed.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD MEMO
,Tune 4, 2002 MEETING
The approval for the sign should be conditioned on submittal of revised site plans clearly
showing the location of the landscape feature sign.

The applicant stated they made an application to approve the as-builts.
Mr. Belair said he is most concerned with the buildings that are closer to the property
line. 18.1 ft. was the closest the Board had approved. Units 15 and 16 are built within 13
feet of the property line. Units 1 & 2 went from 15 ft. to 12 ft. from the property line.
Unit #1 has an enclosed porch and the footprint of the building does not match what is on
the plan. Building #17 has a deck that is not shown on the plans presented.
Mr. Osgood said those 2 units were built by the owners, and he assumed they had
permission to do that.
Mr. Belair asked the Board if it would approve the as -built or ask the applicant to move
the property line to maintain the setback.
Mr. Bolton felt better documentation was needed. He also felt the lot lines should be
moved to preserve the setbacks.
- Mr. Dinklage reminded the Board that their concern had been that residents of the units
would treat the golf course as their backyards. Mr. Belair said this is what he saw
happening. People have put flowerbeds, etc. on golf course property.
Mr. Dinklage said he wanted the lot lines moved. Mr. Belair said measurements will be
needed on units #1 and 17.
Mr. Osgood said it would be reasonable to maintain the 18.1 ft. setback as the closest,
except unit #1 which would be 15 ft.
Mr. Boucher then moved to continue the hearing until 19 November to allow the
applicant to submit a revised plan. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
6. Permanent sign application of IDX Systems Corp. seeking approval of a
landscape feature sign, 25 Green Mountain Drive:
Mr. Dinklage said staff has presented no issues. The sign is allowed under the newly
revised Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Farley moved to approve the sign application of IDS Systems for a landscape
feature sign at 25 Green Mountain Drive subject to the stipulations in the draft
motion of 1 October 2002. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

pool structure at 325 Lime Kiln Road, and 2) removing the breezeway pool

Staff had no issues with the plan.
Mr. Boucher moved to approve Final Plat Application #SD-02-59 of Farwater, Ltd.,

unanimously.
Mr. Belair asked if members had any thoughts on switching from the Free Press to Seven

like to see the cost figures. It was also suggested that staff check with Burlington which
had made that switch and then switched back to the Free Press.
Mr. Belair noted that Wesco had requested a continuance for items #11 and 12 on the
agenda.
Mr. Farley moved to continue Application #VR-01-02 and Application #CU-01-46 of
Wesco, Inc., until 2 April 2002. Mr. Kupferman seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Llewellyn addressed the Board regarding Marceau Meadows. He indicated that they
are ready to apply for preliminary plat but missed the deadline for submitting the
application by a few days so they would have to start over. He asked the Board if they
would allow the applicant to go to preliminary plat since the plan has not changed since
sketch plan review. The Board agreed to let them go to preliminary plat.
2. Continued Public Hearing: Appeal of a decision of the Code Officer pursuant
to Section 29 of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance denying sign permit

FROM: Ray Bela , , ALinistrative Officer
RE: March 5, 2002 agenda items
DATE: March 1, 2002
1) OTHER BUSINESS: The School District has requested a six (6) month extension to a
site plan approved on 8/27/01 (see enclosed letter). Staff has no problem with this
request.
2) CONTINUED — APPEAL OF A DECISION OF THE CODE OFFICER, 40 IDX
DRIVE.
This hearing was continued from the 12/4/01 meeting (minutes enclosed) to see if the
Sign Ordinance Review Committee could finish there review of the sign ordinance and
make recommendations to the City Council prior to this meeting. The committee is
scheduled to make a presentation to the Council in March 18, 2002. The Board can make
a decision on the merits or continue the hearing to a later date to see what if any changes
the Council will make to the sign ordinance which might benefit the applicant.
This is an appeal of a decision of the Code Officer pursuant to Section 29 of the South
Burlington Sign Ordinance denying sign permit application #SN-01-42 of IDX Systems
Corporation. This permit was denied because the proposed 230 square foot free-standing
sign exceeds the size limitation of 80 square feet, 40 -IDX Drive.
The applicant submitted a sign permit application (#SN-01-42) for a free-standing sign
described as being 15.2 sq. ft. in size. Pursuant to Section 8, Free Standing Signs of the
Sign Ordinance, the applicant is entitled to an 80 sq. ft. sign. The proposed sign has been
erected without a permit.
The sign was placed on a structure, which is 230 sq. ft. in area. (see enclosed drawings).
Since this structure is part of the sign and it exceeds 80 sq. ft., the permit was denied.
This is a very similar situation to the S.B. Collins appeal which the Board rejected on
8/7/01.
31 VERMON T AGENCY OF TRANSPORTATION —APPROVAL OF AS BUILT
LANDSCAPE-5 BARTLETT BAY ROAD.
This project is to amend a planned unit development consisting of three (3) commercial
and industrial buildings on two (2) parcels totaling 6.73 acres. The amendment consists

'erit
application #SN-01-42 of IDX Systems Corp. This permit was denied
because the proposed 230 sq. ft. free-standing sign exceeds the size limitation
of 80 sq. ft., 40 IDX Drive:
Mr. Belair noted that the ad hoc committee has been meeting on a regular basis and will
present recommendations for changes to the Sign Ordinance to the City Council in
January. It is hoped there will be a revised Sign Ordinance in place by March.
Mr. Dinklage asked if the revised ordinance will deal with this situation. Mr. Belair said
it will, though it is not known if the Council will approve the changes.
Ms. Liebowitz, representing the applicant, asked that the hearing be continued until the
new Ordinance is in place. 11
Mr. Boucher moved to continue the appeal of IDX Systems Corp. until arch. Mr
Farley seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
4. Pu i a at Application #SD-01-63 of Ronald LaBounty to
amend a planned residential development consisting of eight units in four
buildings. The amendment consists of the removal of: 1) two accessory
structures, and 2) the elimination of the dumpster storage area, 1366 and
1386 Williston Road:
Mr. Bolton said they will remove a 2-car garage which is in disrepair. The engineer
should have indicated this to be removed on the mylar but didn't. Mr. Belair said he has
no issues with this.
Mr. Bolton showed the former location of the dumpster. The applicant does not feel it is
needed. The Association can come back with a request if they want a dumpster.
The small shed is no longer there and the area has been landscaped. It shouldn't show on
the plan and will be removed.
There is an indication of a small area to be paved. Mr. Bolton was not sure that it would
be. It is graveled with a finish of crushed stone. If this doesn't work, it will have to be
paved. Mr. Dinklage said it is important to know where vehicles are and where they will
be parked. Mr. Belair said that due to drainage concerns they would have to come back
in if they want to pave it. He said the Board could approve it "either/or."
Mr. Bolton said the dumpster space will become a parking space. There will be no fence.

Re: Sign Permit Application #SN-01-42
Dear Ray:
This office represents IDX Systems Corporation ("IDX"). I am writing regarding IDX's
appeal of your letter of August 10, 2001 denying the above Sign Permit Application which
appeal was filed on August 20, 2001. I understand that the City plans to appoint a special
committee to conduct a review of signage in the City in the very near future. Given the
importance of a comprehensive review of the issues surrounding signage, and the impact that the
results of the review may have on the current Sign Ordinance, I am writing to request a
continuance of the hearing currently scheduled for September 18, 2001 before the City of South
Burlington Development Review Board regarding IDX's pending appeal.
I understand that the DRB meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. In order
to give ample time for completion of the sign survey, I request a continuance of the hearing
currently scheduled for September 18, 2001 to December 4, 2001.
In our telephone conversation, you indicated that you did not foresee any problems with
respect to the Board granting the requested continuance. Kindly confirm at your earliest
convenience. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Please fecl free to
call with any questions.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Sign Permit Application #SN-01-42
Dear Margaret:
This office represents IDX Systems Corporation ("IDX"). I am writing in response to
Ray Belair's letter of August 10, 2001 denying the above Sign Permit Application. Pursuant to
Section 29 of the City of South Burlington Sign Ordinance ("Ordinance"), please consider this
letter an appeal of that denial to the City of South Burlington Development Review Board.
Pursuant to Section 29 of the Ordinance, I understand that Chairman of the Development
Review Board will set a hearing date and place following public notice of such hearing in a
newspaper having general circulation in the City. We will submit a memorandum in support of
our appeal prior to the hearing.
This will also confirm Ray Belair's representation to Tina Wiles of our office that,
pending the outcome of the hearing, the City will refrain from issuing any municipal complaint
to the Traffic and Municipal Ordinance Bureau following the warning notice issued on June 26,
2001 and received by IDX on July 3, 2001 and that, in the event IDX is not successful in its
appeal, any civil penalty sought by the City will be computed only from the date of such
complaint and not from the date of the original warning.

LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, executed in triplicate between IDX Systems Corporation, of South
Burlington, Vermont, hereinafter referred to as "DEVELOPER", Citizen's Bank of
Providence, Rhode Island, hereinafter referred to as "BANK" and the City of South
Burlington, hereinafter referred to as "MUNICIPALITY".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, DEVELOPER has received site plan approval from the MUNICIPALITY'S
Planning Commission for the development of property located at 1400 Shelburne Road,
as depicted on a site plan entitled "SP1 — Master Site Plan", dated 11/12/98, and prepared
by Trudell Construction Engineers.
WHEREAS, DEVELOPER is required by said approval, at its own expense, to complete
the construction of the development site in accordance with the plan approved by the
Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement wish to establish a mechanism to secure the
obligations of the DEVELOPER for the work as set forth above; and
WHEREAS, the BANK executes this Agreement solely in the capacity of issuer of a
Letter of Credit hereinafter specified;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. DEVELOPER will, at its own expense, complete the following construction as
depicted and in accordance with the specifications set forth in said site plan and
related documents:
SP1 — Master Site Plan for Landscaping
2. The DEVELOPER shall complete the improvements set forth in Paragraph 1 no later
that 8/1/2001.
3. DEVELOPER shall replace or repair any defective or improper work or materials
which may be recognized within one year after completion of the improvements set
forth in Paragraph 1. For the purpose of this Agreement "completion" shall be
deemed to have occurred when the MUNICIPALITY has inspected and approved the
construction of all the improvements required by this Agreement and issued written
notice to the DEVELOPER that the construction is complete.
4. For the guarantee of DEVELOPER'S performance of requirement hereunder set
forth, DEVELOPER has caused the BANK to issue it's Irrevocable Letter of Credit in
favor of the MUNICIPALITY, the original of which is attached to the
MUNICIPALITY'S copy of this Agreement, and a copy of which is attached to the
DEVELOPER'S copy of this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement,
DEVELOPER shall cause the attached Letter of Credit to be renewed at least thirty
(30) days before the maturity date thereof. Failure of DEVELOPER to deliver
evidence of such renewal the MUNICIPALITY thirty (30) days prior to the date of
expiration of said Letter of Credit shall constitute a default of the terms of this
Agreement.
Said Irrevocable Letter of Credit provides that the drafts drawn under said credit,
must be accompanied by a written statement signed by a duly authorized agent of the
MUNICIPALITY, that in the judgement of the MUNICIPALITY, the DEVELOPER
is in default under the terms of this Agreement, and that the funds to be drawn by the
draft are in payment for, or in anticipation of payment for materials, labor and
services required for completion of the improvements identified in Paragraph 1.
Payment of each draft will be made at sight when presented to the BANK by the
MUNICIPALITY, the payment limited only by the aggregate amounts presented in
relationship to the maximum amount of the Letter of Credit. If DEVELOPER shall
be in default of the Agreement for seven (7) days because of its failure to provide
evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit, required in paragraph 4 above, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify DEVELOPER by certified mail of said default.
DEVELOPER shall then within three (3) business days provide MUNICIPALITY
with evidence of said renewal of Letter of Credit or MUNICIPALITY may notify
BANK of such default and request payment under said Letter of Credit.
6. The DEVELOPER and MUNICIPALITY hereby agree that the sum of One Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.) shall be sufficient to secure DEVELOPER'S
obligations under this Agreement but shall not relieve DEVELOPER from obligation
to pay any additional costs, if actual costs exceed the above -stated cost.
7. The MUNICIPALITY will promptly submit to the DEVELOPER a copy of any draft
it submits to the BANK. The consent of the DEVELOPER to payment of said draft
by BANK to the MUNICIPALITY under said Letter of Credit shall not be required.
8. The MUNICIPALITY shall not file with the BANK a statement of default until ten
(ten) days after notice has been sent to the DEVELOPER, by certified mail, setting
forth its intention to do so.
9. All funds drawn on the BANK by the MUNICIPALITY pursuant to the Letter of
Credit shall be used solely by the MUNICIPALITY for the purpose of completing
construction of the improvements identified in paragraph 1. Any work contracted for
by the MUNICIPALITY pursuant hereto shall be let on a contractual basis, on a time
and material basis, shall be performed by the MUNICIPALITY'S own work force
and equipment, or shall be accomplished in such other manner as in the judgement of
the MUNICIPALITY shall accomplish the work more expeditiously and
economically.
10. If payments are drawn on the BANK by the MUNICIPALITY pursuant to said Letter
of Credit, and it shall later develop that the portions of the monies drawn are in excess
of the MUNICIPALITY'S needs, any such excess amount shall be refunded by the
MUNICIPALITY to the BANK, to be credited by said BANK to the DEVELOPER.
11. This Agreement and said letter of credit shall terminate and shall be of no force and
effect upon completion of the one year warranty period as described in above
paragraph 3. If the MUNICIPALITY has not delivered any written notice to the
DEVELOPER of any defective or improper work or materials in the construction of
the improvements within the twelve (12) moth period, or if notice has been given and
the defective work or materials have been corrected by the DEVELOPER, the
MUNICIPALITY shall forthwith notify the BANK in writing that the Letter of Credit
may cancelled, and shall return the original Letter of Credit to the BANK, and both
the DEVELOPER and the BANK shall be released from all obligations hereunder and
under said Letter of Credit.
12. Upon request of DEVELOPER, but only at the sole discretion of the
MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY may agree to reduce the amount of said
Letter of Credit required hereunder if the MUNICIPALITY believes that the full
amount of said Letter of Credit is no longer necessary to protect its interest, and shall
notify the BANK in writing of such reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit.
13. The BANK may not modify the Letter of Credit without first receiving written
consent of the MUNICIPALITY.
14. Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold BANK harmless from all claims,
causes of action or liability of any kind arising out of this Agreement or the issuance
by BANK of this Letter of Credit, including attorney's fees, as long as BANK
follows the terms and conditions outlined in said Letter of Credit.
15. This Agreement shall be binding on all parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

services required for completion of the improvements identified in Paragraph 1.
Payment of each draft will be made at sight when presented to the BANK by the
MUNICIPALITY, the payment limited only by the aggregate amounts presented in
relationship to the maximum amount of the Letter of Credit. If DEVELOPER shall
be in default of the Agreement for seven (7) days because of its failure to provide
evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit, required in paragraph 4 above, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify DEVELOPER by certified mail of said default.
DEVELOPER shall then within three (3) business days provide MUNICIPALITY

BANK of such default and request payment under said Letter of Credit.
6. The DEVELOPER and MUNICIPALITY hereby agree that the sum of Two Hundred

it submits to the BANK. The consent of the DEVELOPER to payment of said draft

Credit shall be used solely by the MUNICIPALITY for the purpose of completing

and material basis, shall be performed by the MUNICIPALITY'S own work force

MUNICIPALITY shall forthwith notify the BANK in writing that the Letter of Credit
may cancelled, and shall return the original Letter of Credit to the BANK, and both

under said Letter of Credit.
12. Upon request of DEVELOPER, but only at the sole discretion of the
MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY may agree to reduce the amount of said
