The Zoning Board granted a variance on frontages. No issues were raised. 6. PUBLIC HEARING: Final Plat application rof John Larkin for the construction of a 200-unit hotel with the existing restaurant on 9.8 acres and remaining lot 410 of 7.026 acres at 1710 Shelburne Rd. Mrs. Lafleur said the application was correctly reviewed as a site plan with traffic overlay criteria. She noted that there was a critique by Craig Leiner of the taffic Study. Mr. Spitz explained the traffic study. He acknowledged there will be long delays for left turns out of the hotel, but said this is a fact of life of Shelburne Rd. He said their anal- ysis does not show the need for a signal at the hotel entrance. Peak hours are not the same as for the rest of Shelburne Rd. traffic. Theyare 900 ft. from Allen Rd. and further from Green Mountain Dr. The accident history at the location is not high. They will have right and left turn exiting lanes. At the Green Mountain Dr/Bartlett Bay Rd/Rt. 7 intersection conditions will depend on Agency of Transportation schedules for construction. At Allen Rd., Mr. Spitz said their cal- culations indicate a signal will be warranted now. The Agency of Transporation will look into this in their report. Craig Leiner does not feel a signal is warranted and feels that Allen Rd. development will be the triggering factor. Mrs. Maher said she feels that until Shelburne Rd. is widened this development would pose a dangerous situation. She felt the applicant should be asked to phase in his project so it will be less dangerous. Mrs. Lafleur summarized Mr. Leiner's appraisal: he agreed with estimates for trip generation and with directional dis- tribution, but disagrees with length of delays. He felt that the less severe grade of the new driveway will improve the situation and agreed with the 2 exiting lanes. On other issues, Mr. Blanchard said that lot #10 was not counted in the density. Mrs. Lafleur confirmed that lot coverage is under 70%, even deducting the ravine. Mr. Larkin said he will try to sell the restaurant to a separate party. Mrs. Maher said she would vote for 100 units now and the rest PLANNING COMMISSION 6 MAY 1986 PAGE 6 when the Shelburne Rd. project is completed. Mr. Burgess agreed but felt that the second phase could begin when the state announces its plans for beginning work on Shelburne Rd. Mr. Belter said he would hate to see phasing over more than 2 years and didn't want to hold the developer hostage. Mr. Jacob said he has had assurances from the City's Represen- tative who is on the Highway Commission, that the project will be done with due haste. Mrs. Maher agreed that it would be all right to tie the second phase to the State's approval of the plans. Mr. Burgess moved that the South Burlington Planning Comm- ission approve the Final Plat application of John Larkin for the construction of a 200 unit hotel and existing restaurant as depicted on a plan entitled "Overall Site Plan, Harbor Inn Route 7_ South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Krebs & Lansing Consulting Engineers, Inc, dated June 1985, and revised 3/12/86 with the following stipulations: 1. A $42,000 bond for landscaping shall be posted prior to permit. 2. The northerly side of the parking lot shall have a con- crete curb to prevent runoff onto the adjacent property._ There shall be a swale along the north side of the parking lot. 3. There shall be 3 fire hydrants located in the parking lot islands. These shall be shown on the plan and the location approved by the S. Burlington Fire Chief prior to permit. 4. The applicant shall place in escrow an amount determined by the City Engineer to construct a sidewalk along the Shel- burne Road frontage after Shelburne Rd. is widened. 5. No more than 10% of the living units shall have kitchen- ettes. 6. The applicant shall install a 44,000 gallon retention pond as specified �Ry Wagner, Heindel & Noyes and the City Engineer 7. A snow fence shall be installed along the top of entire length of the stream bank during construction. 8. The road through to Harbor View Rd. shall be completed prior to occupancy. 9. The developer shall contribute 4% of the cost of the Cit 's Shelburne Rd. intersection improvement package due to the 146 peak hour trips generated by this development. PLANNING COMMISSION 13 MAY 1986 PAGE 7 10. A 40,000 gallon per day sewer allocation is approved for this project in accordance with the S. Burlington Sewer Policy. The applicant shall pay $2.50 per gallon prior to permit. 11. It is the applicant's responsibility to record the Final Plat for the hotel project and for the extension of the road through to Harbor View Rd. with the City Clerk within 90 days or this approval shall be null and void. The record copy must be approved � the Planner and signed � the Chairman or Clerk of the Planning Commission prior to recording. 12. The building permit shall be obtained within 3 ears. Mr. Belter seconded. A poll of members indicated that the motion would not pass without a phasing provision. Mr. Burgess then proposed the following amendment: that ap- proval for this project be for 100 units and the restaurant in the first phase. The second phase will be approved as soon as the State announces its construction schedule for Shelburne Road. Mrs. Maher seconded. Following a brief recess, Mr. Larkin requested that the words "..of the 101st unit" be added to the 8th stipulation. He ,noted that all buildings will be sprinklered. Mr. Larkin agreed to go with graveling if the Fire Chief requires. Mr. Burgess then proposed the following amendment: that the Harbor View Road connection, if deemed necessary 12y the City Planner and Fire Chief, shall be roughed in and gravelled prior to completion of phase 1- otherwise, it need not be finished until hp ase 2. Mr. Belter seconded, and the amendment was passed unanimously. Mr. Burgess then proposed the following amendment to the first amendment: that "the first 2 buildings, not to exceed 120 units" replace the words 11100 units" and that phasing of the support facilities will be at the discretion of the City Planner. Mr. Belter seconded, and this amendment passed unanimously. The vote on the amended first amendment followed, and it was passed 5-1 with Ms. Peacock opposing. The amended motion was then passed unanimously.
