FARRELL 1 350 SPEAR STREET SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT 05401 June 7, 1984 City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05401 ATTN: ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Dear Commissioners, I am sorry I cannot personally attend tonight's meeting but I wish to address one of the appeals on your agenda. I read recently of the appeal of Jolley Associates seeking a variance from Section 19.65 on multiple uses. I understand the request is to operate a Bottle Redemption Center at 1830 Shelburne Road. My wife and I own the property across the street at 1820 Shelburne Road and I have occasion to use the intersection at Allen Road and Shelburne Road often. I would like to advise you that this intersection is heavily used and very dangerous when making turn movements to and from Allen Road. The subject variety store has a curb -cut within 20-30 feet of the Allen Road intersection. This curb -cut interferes with the turn movements from Allen Road. I would recommend that you not approve additional uses for this site, which would further aggravate a presently dangerous traffic condition at this intersection. R e s p e t !uliy sub tea, Gary N.

VERMONT 05401 TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 May 18, 1981 Bruce Jolley 58 Lower Weldon Street St. Albans, Vermont 05478 Dear Mr. Jolley: Upon receipt of your request we reviewed the proposed Getty Beverage Center for the purpose of estimating the volume of traffic that may be attracted by this multiple land use. Our analysis was based on the assumptions that there would be approximately 1500 square feet of redemption facilities and 1200 square feet of beverage sales in addition to the gas facilities. It was our understanding that slips would be issued to customers redeeming bottles at the redemption drive -up and walk-up windows and that these slips could be cashed in at the beverage sales center. With these basic assumptions and operational procedures in mind, we proceeded to estimate traffic. In order to obtain a reasonable estimate of traffic that may be attracted to the beverage redemption center, we monitored traffic at the Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, Vermont. The monitorina was conducted on a Friday afternoon (which just happened to be the last day of exams for the area University and Colleges). Because of this, we feel the trip generation rates we computed using this data may be slightly higher than would occur on an average weekday. From the field observation of the Beverage Warehouse, we estimated the volume of traffic that may be attracted for beverage redemption purposes only and for redemption and beverage purchase combined. We then used data that was collected in 1978 at two gas -beverage stores (Riverside Beverage Center and the Citgo station in Essex Junction) to estimate the volume of gas only customer, gas beverage customers and beverage only customers. The beverage only customers were also compared with trip generation estimates we computed for beverage only customers at the Beverage Warehouse in Winooski. The volume of gas only customers Page 2 May 18, 1981 was compared with the volume of gas customers currently stopping at the Getty Station. From the procedure outlined above the following estimates for traffic during the 4 - 5 PM peak hour were arrived at. Beverage only 52 Trip Ends Redemption only 6 Trip Ends Redemption & Beverage 10 Trip Ends Gas Only 67 Trip Ends Gas & Beverage 20 Trip Ends Total Entering & Exiting 152 Trip Ends Total Customers 76 Vehicle turning movement counts conducted during the afternoon peak hours at the existing Getty Station revealed that 67% of the customers are Northbound on Route 7 and 32% are Southbound on Route 7. Northbound customers make a right turn into the Station and a right turn out of the Station. Southbound customers on the other hand, enter the Getty Station by executing a left turn and exit the Station making a left turn onto Route 7. It is the left turn from Route 7 into the Getty Station that may have an impact on Route 7 traffic flow. Therefore, we analyzed this movement for the purpose of assessing the impact it will have on Route 7 traffic flow. Information on the volume of traffic at this location during the 30th highest hour of the year was obtained from the Vermont Agency of Trasnportation Traffic Research section. The 30th highest hour traffic volume was given as 1965 veh/hr. The left turning traffic volume (from Route 7 into the Getty Beverage Center) was estimated to be 21 veh/hr at the northern most access point and 4 veh/hr. at the southernmost access point. Using this traffic volume information, an unsignalized intersection capacity calculation was performed. The results revealed that the left turn traffic would experience little delay which is typical of Level of Service A. It should also be noted that Route 7 at this location has sufficient shoulder width to allow through vehicles to bypass left turn vehicles. From our analysis of traffic operations at the proposed access points, we conclude that the multiple land use will not have an adverse impact on the quality of traffic flow in the project vicinity.

Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda Date: 5/28/81 Several applications on your next agenda may have traffic -related concerns. Because of the relative newness of the Cl/C2 traffic criteria and because of their importance in planning for commercial growth in South Burlington, I feel it is important to continue to monitor these aspects of any application. Some overall comments - the Cl/C2 regulations appear to have been working well during the 1 year that they have been in effect. A number of commercial uses that meet the traffic criteria have been permitted. Uses on existing below -minimum size lots have been able to continue but have not been allowed to significantly increase their traffic generation. Lastly, a number of small lots have begun to look into possibilities for consolidation - this is one of the main objectives that we have been trying to accomplish. Specific comments - 4) Jolly Associates. Maximum permitted trips (trip ends) per peak hour on a 60,000 square foot lot in a C2 zone is 68 trips. The applicant's traffic report estimates 152 trips per peak hour. This number is well above the required standard for a new commercial lot and is also higher than the existing level of traffic. 3) Clark Hinsdale and 5) Brothers Two. Even though the result of Jolly Associates' traffic report does not meet the C2 standards, the information provided by the report is very thorough and clear. This applicant should not be penalized over others because he has submitted complete data. For the above two applications I have seen no information"by which I can evaluate whether traffic volumes will be higher than existing traffic.

A nationwide mend to convert service stations to C-Stores is creating a whole new sales opportunity. Equipment deal- ers and their salesmen attempting to sell this market are posing Many questions. These questions ... and their appropriate answers will go a long way toward ac- quainting everyone with the service sta- tion industry., RHow many gas stations are there cur- rently in the USA? A. Approximately 190,000 down front 235,000 ten years ago. How many stations'vbill survive? A. The retail gasoline industry antici- pates that by 1988, total gas stations will be down to 100,000. aWhat is responsible for the big reduc- tion in the number of gas stations? A. Two major reasons. (1) Major oil comp ales have found that huge self- s, rvi�e gas stations, called "pumpers" relying on volume and selling for small profits ... are highly successful. it is impossible for the small indepen- dent stations to meet their prices. (2) In past years, service stations earned substantial income front routine car repairs. The complexity of today's automobiles limit repairs to factory - trained technicians who are car -dealer employed. Most gas stations are no longer in the car repair business. �Q How can service stations survive? A. Only by selling more than gasoline. Gas stations everywhere have started selling many different items from firewood to Christmas trees to toys. The trend ha, been highly successful only in one field ... that is the con. version to C-Stores. This is a natural. Busy housewives and both male and female workers going to and from their jobs ... can pick up snack foods, beverages, tobacco and sundry items while getting gas. 19Are converting irjdependents . panies? stations small local . or major oil com- A. While some conversions are being made by major oil companies, the greatest activity is with small indepen- dent local owners and this is where Bally dealers should concentrate their efforts. Pis the conversion to a C-Store opera- tion profitable? A. Extremely so. More income is gener- ated from higher gasoline sales . . . with substantial extra income from the additional sales of C-Store mer- chandise. 0.. How does a service station operator plan for a conversion? A. There is no organized program. Thou- sands of operators are waiting for guidance. They need someone to ad- vise them how to make building al- terations . . how to lay out their stores . what type of shelving, gon- dolas and counters they need and to advise them of their refrigeration re- quirements. Also, how to finish the exteriors of their buildings. Ct-. How do they decide what products to handle ... and where do they get their merchandise? A. Every area has a Wholesale Grocery Company ... eagerly seeking C-Store operators as customers. These Whole- salers have merchandising managers who will advise the C-Store Operator on the products he should handle. Ob- viously, this differs from area to area. What about the items a Food Whole- saler can't supply; examples are beer and wine ... newspapers ... sundry items. • A.

VERMONT 05401 TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 MEMORANDOM TO: South Burlington City Council FROM: David M. Bogue Project Engineer DATE: February 25, 1980 SUBJECT: Traffic review of proposed Gasoline and Mini- Mart Sales, Shelburne Road, South Burlington, Vermont We have reviewed the traffic data,submitted for the proposed Gasoline and Mini - Mart Sales and have conducted a field investigation of the proposed site. We offer the following comments: 1. The traffic data submitted regarding vehicles entering the proposed development is within the limits established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and is therefore acceptable. 2. The proposed use would not likely increase the volume of traffic on Shelburne Road because traffic using this type of facility is typically on the road for another purpose. Therefore, this propose development should not have a significant impact on traffic in the project area. ' 3. The stopping site distance north and south of the entrance, exit are adequate for an approach speed of 50 MPH. The posted speed limit is 40 MPH in the project area. There are signs warning approaching traffic from the north and south of turning vehicles. Traffic turning left into and out of the proposed development will most likely be minimal because of similar services being offered on the east side of Route 7. Based on this information we do not feel the proposed entrance will create a significant traffic safty problem. 4. Our only concern is the possibility of pedestrians, from the motel located on the east side of Route 7, crossing Route 7 to purchase items at the Mini -Mart. This is not a desirable location for a pedestrian crossing, and at night could create a safty problem.
