This point was left until it could be clarified by reading the notes of the last meeting. On .,age 1, Yr. Roesler should be identified as the Holiday Inn representative.

Mr. Ward noted that Mr. Couillard had dropped off this afternoon, design standards submitted to the District Environmental Commission which seem acceptable as far as the sewer system. He added that Mr. Couillard had a contracting business in this location. Surrounding him are a small house, and the UVM farm. ,1r. :.ona asked who would own the .47 acre piece and was told Mr. Couillard would. He will move a house to that lot, and one of his sons will probably rent it from him. Mr. Mona mentioned screening between the new lot ari the rest of the land. Mr. Jacob said that since Mr. Couillard would own both lots, it Night be better to put in the deed that screening be required if the property io scld or transferred. Mr. Mona preferred to do it now. X1r. Ewing moved th_at_the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the final plat application by Clem Couillard for a 1 lot subdivision as depicted on a 51an entitled "Property purvey, Clem Couillard, :;pear Street," prepared by c:r.,.Iineers Incorporated of Vermont, dated May 28, 1982, subject to the following stipulations: 1.

Mr. Ewing had originally proposed a stipulation f4 as follows: "Screening along the rear property line shall be provided, to screen the construction equipment." Mr. Walsh, however, wondered if this should be required at this time, before there is a problem. Mr. Ward noted that if someone bought the new lot and wanted to screened, they could do it themselves. Mr. Ewing withdrew the stipulation. The motion passed with Mr. Mona voting no. Request by Gerald Milot for an additional 1 year extension for the 34 unit Ju-artr(-e development on Kennedy Drive Mr. 'lard said the project was originally approved about 2 years ago, on 7/2/80, and that approval expires 7/22/82. "The applicant requested and was granted an extension. He requested 2 years and was granted 1. The current extension runs until July of 1983. Mr. Ward said there had been a question about sewer capacity. He said the unused capacity was 69,000 gallons per dray Cud) and the estimated use for Sugartree is 8500 gpd. No large develoi,ments have been approved since then. Er. Milot noted that he had built 184 units in Twin Oaks in a 2 1/2 year period, but that the economy had taken a downturn since then. After that, he had built Cardinal 'Moods (120 units) in 4 years. He cannot now start construction on this project, in competition with himself, and he knows he cannot start this development for 2 years unless the economy picks up, and lie does not see that happening. He added that if he were before the Commission with a new development they would give him 2 years. Ewing did not object to the extension, but asked what would happen if otter developers asked for the same thing and construction started picking up. Xr. Milot did not feel this would set a precedent, feeling that the Commifinion could say no to the person whom they felt was posing a danf;er to the city. Mr. Mona noted that continually requesting extensions could give a developer a monopoly on sewage capacity in the city. Mr. Jacob felt the :situation could change in two years. Mr. Milot did not feel he was holding a great number of permits in the city. Mr. Ewing moved to extend the approval for the Sugartree development until 7/22/84. Mr. Jacob seconded t developers did not start doing this. The motion carried with Mr. Mona abstaining. Ewing hoped Informational presentation by Green Mountain Power Corporation on proposed corporate headquarters on Green Mountain Drive No action was to be taken on this application, Mr. Ward said. It is just a chance for GMP and the Commission to talk about the plan. The lot contains 13 acres and is the largest of the National Life subdivision lots on Green Yountain Drive. Yr. Perry, representing Green Mountain Power Co., said the land south of this was owned by the city and the UVM Horticultural Farm is to the north. The land slopes toward route 7. The proposed building is 3 stories tall, measured from the north and east elevations, which also have mirror glass fronts. The south and west sides are masonry. The site is heavily treed and they hope to retain most of those trees.
