for an 18 unit planned residential development on 4.5 acres
east of 1342 Shelburne Rd.
The question was raised as to whether the abutters had been
notified. Mr. Jacob said since all the legal notifications
had been made, the Commission had to hear the application.
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.

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 moved the Planning Commission approve the Final
Plat application of Dennis Blodgett for 18 residential units

Mrs. Maher seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
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.
