OFFICE OF
CITY MANAGER --
WILLIAM J. SZYMANSKI
l.,ast Friday, October 14, 1988 1 met with ,you at Quarry Hi 1.1 Ciub
to discuss the status of the Quarry Hill Road. You expressed
concern regarding future access to this road for the halance of
the vacant land it' the road was deeded to the City and became a
public street. As you know the street will end with a temporary
turnaround. The purpose of the temporary turnaround is to allow
the street to be extended to serve the balance of the vacant land
when it.is developed.
Any development will have to conform with the zoning at the time
subject to revivew and approval by the City Planning Commission.
Also, of course, there may be State approvals necessary.
The issue regarding the Quarry Hill. sign, I believe can be worked
out. Our sign ordinance will be updated to allow for off' premise
directional signs. It will be at least two years bef'or•e the City
accepts Quarry Hill Road and that is when the sign would have to
be removed because it would be an off' premise sign. By that time
I would expect the ordinance change would resolve the problem or
if that'i.s not acceptable we could make a side agreement as was
done in the past.
I hope this letter- helps ,your concerns regarding access to Quarry
Hill Road for future development and the club sign.
Sincerely,
William J /SzJn7ski,4

PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 8, 1983
Mr. Davidson explained that drainage would go into a catch -basin on Williston
Road.
Mr. Woolery noted that the little "neck" of land on the lot could not be used
for access to Victory Drive. It ends at the Merriam -Graves lot.
Mr. Woolery read the stipulations in the suggested motion dated 2/8/83 by
DHS and some changes were made to them. Mr. Spitz suggested tabling the
application for two months, since it will be some time before the sewer situation
is known.
In #10 of the proposed stipulations, Mr. Mona said the record should show
that the 12 units is not an absolute. If there were a change in use, the
appropriate number of units would have to be discussed. 12 would be a maximum,
but that many might not be allowed. He also felt that the city attorney should
draft an appropriate stipulation regarding the lack of sewer capacity at this time.
Mr. Woolery asked if members had any problems with any of the stipulations,
but Mr. Mona did not want to indacate any agreement with any stipulations at this
time.
Mr. Woolery moved to table the revised final plat application of LTH
Associates for two weeks, February 22, at City Hall at 7:30 pm. to determine
appropriate stipulation wording regarding the sewer allocation and the sewer
policy. Mrs. Hurd seconded the motion and all voted for it.
Sketch plan review of application boy Ralph DesLauriers Jr. for single family
development (approximately 10 lots) of the R4 portion of the Quarry Hill property
Mr. Spitz said the large question here was access. There are 60-80 units
on East Terrace and 77 in the Horizon Heights development. Both are single -
entrance roads, and contain well over the 50 unit maximum for such roads.
Mr. DesLauriers said they would like to have 9 house lots in the R4 zone.
They plan access from East Terrace. There is a 150' long 50' right of way, and
after that they will have a 60' wide way. There is a separate parcel of DesLauriers
land next to the area in question, which contains 1.2 acres. It is zoned R4 and
is vacant. There are no plans for that area, but a 40' wide access area has been
left for it.
Mr. Woolery felt the cul-de-sac at the end of East Terrace should be opened
and the entire area joined together. He noted that the Commission had stated many
times in the past that it did not want commercial traffic going through a residential
area.
Mr. DesLauriers was told to work on a better access for one of the lots than
coming across another lot, and to look at access to the 1.2 acre piece. He was
also told the city would probably want a city street with a sidewalk and curbs for
drainage.
Mr. DesLauriers said eventually the road through these proposed lots would
connect to Quarry Hill Road. Mr. Woolery noted that any development which used
that road would require its upgrading. Mr. DesLauriers felt any major develop-
ment would require that, but he did not feel this was a major development.
Developing the R7 would be, he agreed. He said that for future development they
would look seriously at Quarry Hill Road and expect to upgrade it to what the
city feels is required. The connection between the area under consideration now
and Quarry Hill Road would be made in the future.
Several access options were discussed.
Mrs. Maher reminded Mr. DesLauriers that there was no sewer capacity. She
left at this time.
Mrs. DesLauriers said Quarry Hill Road was up to city standards according to
a letter from the City Manager, which she said she would bring in.

Mr. Mona asked whether Mr. DesLauriers had any problem with opening the cul-
de-sac, personally, and was told he felt it would be a good idea.
Mrs. DesLauriers said there was a pedestrian right of way from Fast Terrace
to Spear Street which the city owned and could open up.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 pm.

A letter on anticipated parking needs is enclosed, and I concur with the
applicant's request for only 9 spaces. However, an additional area should be
shown on the plan for future parking if needed.
Landscaping seems to be located in appropriate places, but total dollar
amount must still be verified.
Several additional items remain to be resolved, though many of these should
be able to be completed by Tuesday's meeting:
a) Driveway widening should take place on the east side only.
b) Recreation fee will be $1775 and does not change the total amount
required for the Rebecca Square development.
c) A revised drainage plan shall be submitted.
d) A water line easement must be provided.
Also, some sort of stipulation must be placed regarding type of residential
use for the building. Any change in use may modify parking and other standards,
and any such change will require resubmission to the Planning Commission.
Finally, since sewer capacity is currently not available, final approval can
not be granted. I recommend that final review continue, that all proposed stip-
ulations be discussed and agreed upon, and that final action then be withheld
until sewer capacity becomes available.
4), Quarry Hill
Application is for the recently rezoned R4 portion (approximately 2.85
acres) of the Quarry Hill property. Ten single-family lots are shown with
access onto East Terrace and with potential for future connection to the R7
portion of the property.
The initial issue to be addressed is the overall street layout for the
property. Additional access onto East Terrace and/or Quarry Hill Road have been
long -debated issues. When rezoning of the property took place, one traffic
study by Trans Op was prepared on this question. My recommendation is that the
through connection between Quarry Hill Road and East Terrace is both appropriate,
since additional residential traffic will not be excessive, and necessary, since
both roads already are in excess of the normal maximum number of units on
single -entrance roads.
Some additional notes:
If a through road is built, planning should be done now to insure that
the grade down the Quarry Hill slope will be acceptable.
There is another vacant 1.2 acre parcel owned by the Deslauriers property
immediately adjacent to the proposed road, and plans for this parcel should be
discussed.

Better delineation of site limitations - including Quarry location, contours,
and zoning boundaries - will be necessary at the next stage of review.
Lot lines should be perpendicular to the street wherever feasible.

Dear Mr. Spitz:
(802) 878-5977
November 30, 1981
A preliminary traffic planning study was completed to assess the trip -
generation impacts of five selected land use schemes for the Quarry Hill Site.
In addition, selected level of service evaluations were prepared for three
intersectional locations that provide access to the study site. Only worse -
case situations were appraised in the analysis of the anticipated traffic
conditions that would result from the development of this property that is
located in an area defined as Commercial 1 District.
Unfortunately, vehicular volume data are not available for the intersec-
tions of Williston Road and the two driveways that serve Gaynes Shopping Center,
the intersection of Spear Street and Quarry Hill Road, East Terrace Street, and
ISpear Street. Calculations of service levels were, therefore, based on 1981
traffic volumes that were approximated from trip generations for critical com-
binations of existing and proposed developments.
Further analysis may be desired in assessing quantitatively the impacts of
different planning schemes for the Quarry Hill Site on the signal -controlled,
rotary intersection formed by East Avenue, East Terrace Street, Spear Street,
and Williston Road. Please advise of any further assistance that may be de-
sired in regard to the Quarry Hill Site. Thank you.

TRAFFIC PLANNING STUDY
OF
QUARRY HILL SITE
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this traffic planning study was to assess potential impacts
of vehicular volumes generated by a 26-acre site in a Commercial 1 District (C1)
on selected adjacent intersections and driveway locations. This land parcel,
which is identified as the Quarry Hill Site and is located in Figure 1 by the
letter 'Q', is bounded by Gaynes Shopping Center on the north, Quarry Hill Club
on the south, I89 on the east, and the residential area along the eastern side
of East Terrace Street on the west.
Various land -use arrangements, that embrace selected combinations of Residen-
tial 4 District (R4), Residential 7 District (R7), and Commercial 1 District (Cl)
areas for the Quarry Hill Site, were evaluated in terms of trip generations for
average weekday and average a.m. and p.m. peak -hour time periods. The following
Ifive development and access schemes were quantified in this preliminary traffic
planning study.
1. Plan 1.
a. R4 of 4.3 acres to East Terrace Street.
b. R7 of 10.0 acres to Quarry Hill Road.
C. Cl of 10.5 acres to driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center.
2. Plan 2.
a. R4 of 4.3 acres to East Terrace Street.
b. R7 of 10.0 acres.
1) With 20 percent to Quarry Hill Road.
2) With 80 percent to driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center.

2) With 80 percent to driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center.
Because vehicular volumes are not completely available for the various roadways
and driveways that were evaluated in this study, trip generations were developed
for existing and projected land use activities served by East Terrace Street,
Quarry Hill Road, and the driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center. These forecasts
4
were calculated in accordance with the information provided in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers publication entitled "Trip Generation", Second Edition,
1979.
To quantify the traffic impacts of each tentative land use arrangement for
the Quarry Hill Site, selected level of service analyses were prepared for the
following intersectional locations, which are labeled in Figure 1 by the desig-
nated letters from 'A' through 'D':
1. East Terrace Street approach, which is controlled by a 'YIELD' sign,
at the rotary intersection of East Avenue, East Terrace Street, Spear
Street, and Williston Road - 'A';
2. Signalized intersection of Williston Road and entrance driveway at
Gaynes Shopping Center - 'B'; and
3. Signalized intersection of Williston Road and exit driveway at Gaynes
Shopping Center - 'C'.
In addition, the trips generated by chosen land use arrangements for the Quarry
Hill Site were assigned to a.m. and p.m. peak hour vehicular volumes at the sig-
nalized rotary intersection of East Avenue, East Terrace Street, Spear Street,
and Williston Road - 'D'. The required approach volumes were prepared for
average 1981 travel conditions by combining appropriate trip generations with
traffic count data collected by the Vermont Agency of Transportation. However,
level of service evaluations for this complex intersection were not within the
scope of this preliminary traffic planning study.
5
TRIP GENERATIONS
Resultant trip generations for the five development plans of the Quarry Hill
Site are presented in Tables 1 through 5. These trips were assigned to the three
available access facilities that include East Terrace Street, Quarry Hill Road,
and the two driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center. All calculations were predicated
on complete development of the various land parcels within the Quarry Hill Site.
In terms of vehicular volumes, Plans 4 and 5 account for the larger generations
of traffic trips. A summary of trip generations by plan and access is provided in
Table 6. Traffic impacts on East Terrace Street, Quarry Hill Road, and the drive-
ways at Gaynes Shopping Center are minimized, respectively, by the land use arrange-
ments in Plans 4 and 5, 3, and 2. For East Terrace Street, trip generations for
Plans 1 and 2 are only slightly greater than those values for Plans 4 and 5, while
Ia similar relationship exists for Plans 3 and 4 in regard to'the volume demands
that are assigned to Quarry Hill Road.
IPlan 2 affords the most favorable arrangement of land use activities as as-
sessed in both magnitudes and patterns of trip generations. Traffic impacts are
Iessentially minimized on East Terrace Street and the Gaynes driveways to and from
IWilliston Road, while the assigned trips to Quarry Hill Road do not result in ad-
verse vehicular volumes during a.m. and p.m. peak -hour periods of travel.

TRAFFIC ANALYSES
Level of service evaluations were performed to assess the land use plans that
provide worst -case traffic conditions at selected intersections which serve the
Quarry Hill Site. The East Terrace Street approach experiences the greatest
traffic demand during the a.m. peak hour for Plan 3. However, this yield -controlled
movement should operate at 'A' level of service for 1981 traffic volumes with com-
plete development of the Quarry Hill Site in accordance with the land use stipula-
tions of Plan 3.
Critical traffic loadings are produced by Plan 4 duirng`the p.m. peak hour
for the entrance and exit driveways that serve Gaynes Shopping Center. The large
amount of commercial development in this land plan results in 'E' levels of service
for both driveways with 1981 vehicular volumes that include total development of
the Quarry Hill Site. This critical movement analysis for traffic planning pur-
poses was based on the provision of a fifth lane on Williston Road for left -turn
maneuvers. To accommodate this level of commercial development in the Quarry Hill
Site with ingress and egress provided by the two driveways at Gaynes Shopping Center,
significant redesign of these traffic facilities is required in the form of multiple
turning lanes for critical entrance and exit movements. However, vehicular volume
studies at these driveways are essential to establish the traffic magnitudes and
patterns before exact traffic improvements can be developed. The adoption of Plan
2 for the Quarry Hill Site does minimize the traffic impacts on Williston Road at
Gaynes Shopping Center driveways. Although critical movement calculations were
not performed for traffic conditions associated with Plan 2, levels of service at
these driveway intersections are approximated in the high 'C' or low 'D' range.
To provide intersectional approach volumes, traffic assignments were developed
at the rotary intersection of East Avenue, East Terrace Street, Spear Street, and
1 Williston Road. Existing, development, and total volumes for a.m. and p.m. peak
13
hours during 1981 are summarized by approach in Tables 7 through 10 for Plan 4,
which provides the most critical impact on traffic conditions at this rotary in-
tersection and along Williston Road at Gaynes Shopping Center. Vehicular volumes
for a.m. and p.m. peak hours are described, respectively, in Tables 7 and 8 for
the east intersection of this rotary complex, while the corresponding measures
for the west intersection are listed in Tables 9 and 10. Critical movement
analyses for these two intersections that form portions of the rotary arrangement
were beyond the scope of this traffic planning study.

SUMMARY
This impact assessment of five land use schemes for the Quarry Hill Site was
limited to the evaluation of traffic conditions for selected locations and worst -
case situations. The arrangement of land uses that are depicted by Plan 2 mini-
mizes the generated trips in terms of magnitudes and patterns among their distri-
butions to adjacent traffic facilities. Better travel conditions are achieved by
limiting the amount of commercial development and by reducing the need for access
directly to and from Williston Road.
Further transportation planning studies are essential to develop proper geo-
metric design and/or traffic control improvements that allow for the planned
growth in this portion of South Burlington with acceptable levels of travel service
on adjacent streets and at access intersections. Vehicular volume studies are
1 necessary to describe completely the existing temporal demands for traffic move-
ments on the impacted transportation facilities.
