Mr. Llewellyn said there will be 18 condos in 5 buildings. Units have inside garages. Public water and sewer will be used. Storm water will be collected in storm sewers and transferred to the IDX system. The system has been submitted to Heindel & Noyes for evaluation. The applicant has addressed the issues raised by the Water Dept. and will loop to the 8" AC water main on the east side of Green Mountain Drive. There will be 1 service per building. Mr. Weith noted the applicant was granted a $7500 landscaping credit for existing trees which are to be tagged. If they do not equal that amount, they will have to add plantings. Mr. Llewellyn said they have addressed Mr. Szymanski's comments as well. They agree to have street lights in place and working before units are occupied. The sidewalk will be extended across the driveway. The fire hydrant will be moved as requested by the Fire Chief. PLANNING COMMISSION 17 AUGUST 1988 PAGE 6 Mr. Belter asked about the extension of Holmes Rd. Mr. Blodgett said they have to dedicate the remainder of the right of way to the City for future use. Mr. Milot said IDX will have to extend the raod for Phase II of their develop- ment. Ms. Pugh said she is bothered by the fact the 2 things were supposed to happen before final plat and have not been done: the Heindel & Noyes study and the tagging of trees. Mrs. Maher said these would have to be done prior to permit.

Mr. Burgess said that in the future if there are things stipulated that should be done by Final Plat and they arent' done, the application should not be considered ready. Other Business a) Site visit to S.E. Quadrant: Mr. Jacob said some of the neighbors had asked the Commission's feelings and he had said the Commission would comment tonight. Mrs. Maher said she felt it improper to have a discussion on a plan of this magnitude without warning it. She did not feel it should be done in a meeting with no public notice. It is too big for a "little discussion." Most members commented briefly that the visit had not changed their initial feelings. b) Mr. Jacob noted that the City wants the Swift St. extension to meet the Lane Press road. However, there is no provision for development of the 15-acre lot across from Lane Press because 80 acres are neededfor a PID and any other de- velopment would have to be under 3 acres in the Ag-Ind Zone. He felt something should be done about it. Members asked that the original Rye subdivision be checked on. c) Jake's Bar & Grill now wants to enclose their porch. Members were unanimous in wanting the Commission to review this. Mr. Jacob asked that coverage rules be checked. d) Mr. Craig mentioned a possible use for Act 200 money: to replicate the traffic model that is being developed for the benefit of Chittenden County planners, etc. Time on the model will be limited, and he suggested Mr. Weith find out how much duplication of the model would cost. e) There will be a meeting with the City Attorney on Commission procedures. Members felt they might also ask how they can enforce promises made by developers. As there was no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting adjourned at 10:10 pm. Clerk
