HAFTER August 28, 2008 Memorandum To: Chair and City Council From: Chuck Hafter, City Manager- Re: Comments and questions from the public(related to items not on the agenda) To All: I am aware that there will be at least two items before you at the September 2, 2008 Meeting: • Mr. Rand Larson, owner of the new Eye Care of Vermont building at 1100 Hinesburg Road would like you to consider amending the Sign Ordinance to allow larger signs for certain medical uses. If you feel his request is justified, you can ask city staff to suggest regulations. • Mr. Tim Cutler recently obtained a peddlers license and opened a snack bar at the intersection of Lime Kiln Road and Ethan Allen Parkway. He then added several picnic tables for his customers to sit at while they ate. The Zoning Administrator, Ray Belair, after consulting with a city attorney, ruled that the location of picnic tables violated the peddlers license in the tables constituted"land development" and requires a zoning permit. A zoning permit would look at traffic, parking, storm water and other issues related to land development. The city staff is concerned that if this use is considered part of the peddlers permit, anyone can open a similar establishment anywhere in the City, in any zoning district, where they can find someone to rent them land. Mr. Cutler can ask Council to find that the Peddlers License already permits his use and reverse the Zoning Administrator, or to have Council amend the Peddlers Ordinance to permit tables as a use in the future. The most appropriate way to proceed is to amend the Zoning Ordinance to review the districts where use of outdoor seating on a seasonal basis is already allowed as a use with a short-order restaurant. This action should be referred to the Planning Commission to start their ordinance amendment process should they choose to do so. I have attached a letter from Mr. Belair to Mr. Cutler explaining the City's regulations and a copy of the existing Peddlers Ordinance. It occurs to me that the Peddlers Ordinance could use a comprehensive review to reflect peddling in the 21d century. Since this is the first you have heard this issue, you can schedule it for a future meeting for consideration, if you decide not to send the matter to the Planning Commission. August 18,2008 Tim Cutler 67 Dairy Lane South Burlington,VT 05403 Re: Peddler's Permit Dear Mr. Cutler: City Manager Chuck Hafter asked me to reply to your e-mail requesting information relating to your peddling activity at Lime Kiln Road and Ethan Allen Drive. You ask to know what"specific zoning laws or ordinances that you have based your denial of my right to have tables at my concession stand on?". To date you have not been denied any permits or approvals for the subject tables. The tables or the use of tables by your patrons is not a peddling activity governed by the Peddlers Ordinance. The peddling activity for which you have a valid permit is the sale of food. The use of the tables by your patrons is not governed by the Peddlers Ordinance but is governed by the Land Development Regulations. Specifically,the use of tables by the patrons of your peddling activity is a use of land,which in and of itself, is not a peddling activity. The use of the property owned by Mr. Shand for a non- peddling activity would be governed by the Land Development Regulations and the definition of "land development"in Article 2 . Section 17.02(A)of the Land Development Regulations requires that a zoning permit be obtained for the commencement of any land development. Since no zoning permit has been requested or issued for any use(land development)of this property, the use of the property for the placement of tables to be used by your patrons,would constitute a zoning violation. The use of outdoor seating on a seasonal basis is a use which is allowed in conjunction with a short-order or standard restaurant(see definitions of short-order restaurant and standard restaurant in Article 2 of the Land Development Regulations. Since neither of these types of restaurants are permitted in the Mixed Industrial-Commercial District,the outdoor seating you are seeking approval for cannot be permitted. Sincerely, Raymond J. Belair Administrative Officer • ORDINANCE TO REGULATE PEDDLING • The Council of the City of South Burlington hereby ordains : Section 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS A.

Bennies—"By the Jets"-Origins In early April of 2008, as a result of the slowdown in the mortgage industry, I decided that I would attempt to broaden our business interests by establishing a seasonal food establishment. We sought to avoid and issues related to the creation of this business by clarifying the zoning rules within the city. We spoke with the City's Zoning Administrator, Ray Belair by phone, in person and via email of our intentions to open a traditional seasonal concession stand on the corner of Lime Kiln Road and Ethan Allen Drive. We determined that it would be possible for our business to function under the City's Peddlers Ordinance. Having determined that there were no zoning issues related to this type of business,we contacted the State of Vermont Health Department to seek information related any State guidelines that might affect our business. During this initial conversation,the Health Department employee we spoke with stated that under the VT Health Department's,Health Regulations, we were permitted to have seating for up to 16 people at our establishment as long as it was open less than 6 months of the year. We again reviewed the City's Peddlers Ordinance and noted that per the ordinance there were four infractions that would result in our either being denied a license or having a license revoked. These items were: • Infringement by the business on the City's right-of-way • Posing a nuisance to public travel • Promoting or creating noise that might disturb the peace • Creating a public nuisance that might otherwise interfere with the public's ability to move freely Given that our business would violate none of these items and given what we believed to be an apparent consensus by all parties that our concession business was a permitted entity within the City, we spent over$25,000 to purchase and outfit a new concession trailer. Following our initial inspection by the Vermont Health Inspector where she again stated that we were permitted to have seating for 16 people under our health license; we opted to purchase four plastic seasonal tables to be placed adjacent to our concession trailer for the public's enjoyment. Notification of Violation and Subsequent Chain of Events We opened to the public on July 2'd, 2008. Our initial week was very busy and we enjoyed great success. As the next two weeks progressed we saw substantial repeat business as well as a very large increase in new customers on a daily basis. One of the most frequent statements we heard during our first two weeks was how thankful the local business owners and employees to the area were that we had chosen to start our business in that area. They stated that prior to the establishment of our business they were forced to travel to Williston Road to purchase their lunch and that that resulted in over 30 minutes of commute time each day stuck in traffic burning gas. • On July 14th, upon returning home from work we retrieved a voicemail message from Ray Belair stating that we were in violation of the Peddler's Ordinance by placing tables at our business and we must take them down as soon as possible. • The following day I attempted to speak to Mr. Belair directly at this office, but unfortunately he was unavailable to meet with me. I sent Mr. Belair an email where I asked for clarification and something in writing that supported his view that we were somehow violating the Peddlers Ordinance. • Mr. Belair responded with an email that stated that the Peddlers Ordinance did not specifically address the use of tables and therefore,they were not permitted under the ordinance. • A meeting in person between Mr. Belair and myself was then scheduled for July 24th,to allow me to get some further clarification given that there was nothing in writing related to the use ot tables within the City's ordinance and I felt that the State's specific wording within their guidelines related to tables might provide me with the opportunity to retain my tables. • I offer the following synopsis of my meeting with Mr. Belair which as you can see from the attached documents, Mr. Belair, confirms to be accurate: NOTES FROM MEETING BETWEEN TIM CUTLER AND RAY BELAIR- THURSDAY,JULY 24, 2008 Upon arriving for the meeting with Ray, 1 presented him with an opportunity to review the license issued by the Vermont Department of Health as well as the guidelines pertaining to that license that clearly state that an operation of my type is permitted to have seating for up to 16 people if it is a seasonal operation. I explained to him that based upon the City's lack of wording related to seating and the State's clear wording regarding seating I had been unaware of any issues related to my placing four tables on the property 1 rent and had never meant to violate any rules. Ray, responded that while there is in fact no wording in the ordinance related to seating, the fact that the ordinance does not say I can have seating means that I cannot. When I questioned how that could be, Ray responded that it would be impossible for the City to list everything that could not be done so therefore they list only what I can. Ray informed me that if I do not remove the tables my next request fore permit will be denied. He then continued to inform me that should he issue the permit and the tables were to reappear, which 1 informed him I would never do, he would revoke my permit. I was then told that!could appeal the revocation to the City Council but that they would defer to Chuck Halter, the City Ailanacier, and both Chuck and Ray were in agreement that tables should not be allowed and that my appeal would not have much of a chance. Ray offered that I could go before the City Council to present a request that they change the ordinance. I mentioned that I might decide to pursue that option since it did not appear that 1 had many other options available to me. Ray stated that it is his belief that by having tables I become a short order restaurant which is not permitted under current zoning regulations in the area where my business is located. 1 requested something in writing that would support any of these decisions that had been made and 1 was informed there was nothing in writing that could be provided me. END OF NOTES • i left this meeting feeling as if there was nothing I could do about this situation despite the fact that nothing had ever been provided to me in writing to support the Mr. Belair's or the City Manager's position. I also was quite frustrated with the notion that there was not really any chance of my successfully appealing this decision based upon Mr. Belair's statement that any appeal would stand little or no chance with the City Council. At that time, one of our customers, Mr.Jay Zaetz who had heard of our dilemma notified me that he had spoken with Mr. Belair and suggested Ray again to see if he had had a change of heart. Ray responded to my query by informing me that the City Manager was the only one who could help me at this point. This was not however mentioned to me as a possibility during the meeting and over 5 days had passed since the meeting took place. • Based upon this new information, I requested a meeting with Chuck Rafter,the City Manager, only to be informed that he was on an extended vacation and would not be back until August 11rh. My existing permit was set to expire on the August 2"d, so I contacted the Assistant City Manager seeking some assistance, but he informed me that he could not help me as he had no authority in the matter. • Given that I could not speak to the City Manager until after my license was going to expire I asked Mr. Belair if he would be willing to allow me to keep my tables in place until Mr. Rafter returned from vacation so I could see if he would be willing to help me with my problem. Mr. Belair responded on July 30{h vial email as follows: " would issue you a new permit only if VOn do not have seats sincee having seats is a violation of the peddlers ordinance. The only exception to this would he if -1 the City Manager told me to go ahead and issue the permit with you. ha 'i.nq seats . • Given Mr. Belair's unwillingness to afford me any kind of compromise on the matter I contacted each of the five elected City Councilors. One of the Councilors, Sandra Dooley,offered to discuss the matter with the other City Councilors and get back to me. I forwarded her and all the members of the City Council copies of all of the pertinent emails asking for their assistance. The following day, I received a voicemail from the Co-chair of the council,Steve McGowan stating that since it appeared I was trying to appeal a decision by the City Zoning Administrator, no one on the council could speak to me about this matter unless it was in a public forum as the members of the Council needed to remain unbiased in all appeal situations. He then encouraged me to contact the City Manager as he had the ultimate authority over the enforcement of ordinances. • At the close of business on August 2"d, I removed the tables from where they had been previously located and locked them together behind the concession trailer. As a result of my inability to receive any means by which to appeal the ruling made by Mr. Belair i had no choice but to remove the tables or risk actually being in violation of the Peddlers Ordinance by operating my business without a license. • The week following the removal of the tables, our sales dropped over 30%from their previous levels and over the course of the following two weeks we were forced to reduce our hours significantly as a result of this decline in business. • On August 12=h, I had a meeting with Mr. Rafter and Mr. Belair where I again explained how the situation had come about and asked if there was any solution that could be reached. During the course of this meeting, i again reiterated my interest in being placed on the Agenda for the September 2nd, City Council meeting where I could present my concerns to the Council directly. Mr. Rafter confirmed that he had in fact written down my interest in being listed on the agenda. During the meeting, Mr. Rafter expressed his concern that businesses such as mine might spring up all over the city if they allowed me to have tables and appeared to express disdain for my type of establishment by stating that "there was a vacant lot at the end of the street in his neighborhood"and he "certainly would not want a business like mine opening up there." Over the course of the meeting, both Mr. Hatter and Mr. Belair continued to state that the use of tables violated the Peddlers Ordinance. The meeting ended on a sour note, when i expressed my frustration with the fact that while i was talking, Mr. Belair had yawned out loud. My frustration seemed to be a great source of amusement to Mr. Belair and Mr. Hafter as they were both chuckling when i returned a moment later to Mr. Rafter's office. Recent Developments and Change of City's Postion • On August 15th, i requested that Mr. Hafter provide me with something in writing that documented and clearly stated what the basis of the City's refusal to allow me to have tables was. • On August 18th, I received a letter from Mr, Belair that states: "The tables or the use of tables by your patrons is not a peddling activity governed by the Peddlers Ordinance. The peddling activity for which you have a valid permit is the sale of food. The use of the tables by your patrons is not governed by the Peddlers Ordinance but is governed by the Land Development Regulations. Specifically,the use of tables by the patrons of your peddling activity is a use of land, which in and of itself, in not a peddling activity. The use of the property owned by Mr. Shand for a a non-peddling activity would be governed by the Land Development Regulations and the definition of"land development" in Article 2. Section 17.02(A)of the Land Development Regulations requires that a zoning permit be obtained for the commencement of any land development. Since no zoning permit has been requested or issued for any use (land development) of this property,the use of the property for the placement of tables to be used by your patrons,would constitute a zoning violation." • Based upon this letter I'm left wondering then why exactly the option of applying for a zoning permit has never been mentioned previously. I am also left to wonder whether or not the City Council shares the Mr. Belair's and Mr. Hafter's viewpoint that the use of four plastic picnic tables for a seasonal concession operation on a private piece of land is in fact development of land. it would appear that for over a month, Mr. Belair has been quoting the wrong reason for not allowing me to have tables available for my patrons. Furthermore, it would appear that Mr. Belair's refusal to provide me my Peddlers License on August 2nd, if the tables were in place,was incorrect, If the issue at hand was a zoning one and not related to the Peddlers Ordinance then by refusing to provide me with a Peddlers License on August 4th unless the tables were removed was not proper. It does not seem reasonable that Mr. Belair had the authority to refuse to issue me a license for an operation that he himself states is valid, when the issue at hand appears to be strictly a zoning issue surrounding the tables. i believe that the proper process would have been to issue me the Peddlers License for the sale of food and then, if in fact the use of four temporary tables is a use of the land requiring a zoning permit, cite me for a zoning violation and let me attempt to appeal that decision via the proper channels. • On August 30th, I received notification from Chuck Hefter that he had placed me on the agenda for the City Council meeting to be held on September 2nd. Upon reviewing the agenda online, I noticed that I was not in fact placed on the agenda and instead was lumped into the portion of the meeting where anyone from the public can ask questions or make comments. This portion of the meeting is listed as "Questions and Comments from the public (not related to the agenda). When I questioned why I had not been actually placed on the agenda as I had requested and been told i would be, Chuck Hafter responded he was trying to help me be letting me go first. My concern as I expressed to Chuck was that anyone who might have been following this story might not think I was actually going to present and might therefore not show up to offer their thoughts. He subsequently offered to amend the wording on the Agenda to specifically list my appearance under the same "Questions and Comments" section. As State law requires 48 hours notice to the public of what is to occur on the Agenda, this solution, while not what had been agreed to previously, was the best I could do. • On September 1st, Mr. Hafter sent me an email stating that the city was not trying to be confrontational, He states: "your business is new to South Burlington and the City needs to understand how to make it work for your without negatively affecting other residents when the next food stand comes along." My issue is that the City has not tried to make this work for me. instead they have attempted to make my business meet their narrow definitions and interpretations. This has resulted in lost income, lost business and an enormous amount of stress and aggravation for both my family as well as our customers as we have repeatedly had to adjust our hours to cope with our lost sales. I believe the City had the answers available to them all along. Based upon the existing Peddlers Ordinance, future food stands would be limited in what they could do not only by the ordinance's three month limit on Peddling activities within the city, but also by the items listed within the ordinance that would result in the denial of a license or revocation of a license. These are: • Infringement by the business on the City's right-of-way • Posing a nuisance to public travel • Promoting or creating noise that might disturb the peace • Creating a public nuisance that might otherwise interfere with the public's ability to move freely In addition, VT Health Department Guidelines do not permit food stands from offering anymore than temporary seating for up to 16 people. If a future food stand were to do so, the State as well as the City would have the necessary tools in place to rectify the situation.. In conclusion, Mr. Hafter states that I could return the use of tables at my property if"the City Council decides that you have a valid use under the Peddlers Ordinance, ie,your use is not a restaurant " I ask that the City Council make that determination tonight and allow me to try and salvage whatever I can of this year's business. Should the need for future discussion and possible revision of the Peddlers Ordinance be necessary,this can be discussed in a professional manner at a later time.

August 29, 2008 VIA EMAIL AND FIRST CLASS MAIL • Charles Hafter, City Manager City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Exit 12b Condemnation Hearing Dear Chuck: I am writing to provide you and the City Council a guideline for conducting the above-referenced condemnation hearing scheduled for September 2, 2008 . At this hearing the Council will be provided evidence on the "public necessity" for acquiring the Allen Road Land Company parcel ("subject property") and the compensation to be paid for the acquisition. I recommend that the Council conduct this hearing in the following manner: Step 1,: Open the hearing and read hearing notice. Step 2 : Identify the subject property by owner and street address, and ask who is present on behalf of the owner. Step 3 : Swear in all persons who propose to give testimony to the Council . Step 4 : Announce that the purpose of the hearing is for the Council to be provided evidence regarding the "public necessity" for acquiring the property and the compensation to be paid. State that the Council will first receive evidence on the necessity for the acquisition. When that evidence is concluded, the Council will receive evidence on compensation. Charles Hafter, Manager City of South Burlington August 29, 2008 Page 2 Step 5: Introduce Christine Forde, senior transportation planner with the Chittenden Country Metropolitan Planning Organization and Mark Smith, a transportation engineer with Resource Systems Group. Christine Forde will explain the current status of this project as reflected in Vermont's FY 2009 Transportation Plan and steps required before construction can commence. Mark Smith will discuss the most recently prepared designs for Exit 12b, improvements proposed for the subject parcel, impact of such improvements on use of the parcel for other purposes and relationship between the Exit 12b • project and other highway projects in Chittenden County. Step 6 : Offer the property owner' s representative an opportunity to question Ms. Forde and Mr. Smith. Offer a limited opportunity for neighboring property owners to ask questions. Allow Council members to ask questions. Step 7: Offer the property owner an opportunity to present evidence on the issue of necessity. Allow Council members an opportunity to ask questions. Council may also ask if Ms. Forde or Mr. Smith have questions or comments. Step 8 : Conclude the "necessity" portion of the hearing. Step 9 : Introduce Todd LeBlanc, city assessor, who will present information on his determination of the fair market value of the property to be acquired. Offer the property owner's representative an opportunity to question Mr. LeBlanc. Allow Council members to ask questions. Step 10 : Offer the property owner an opportunity to present evidence on the issue of compensation. Allow Council members an opportunity to ask questions. Council may also ask if Mr. LeBlanc has questions or comments. Step 11 : Motion to close the hearing once all comments have been exhausted. Charles Hafter, Manager City of South Burlington August 29, 2008 ' Page 3 Step 12 : Announce that the Council will conduct deliberations on the information provided and issue a written decision within sixty (60) days. There are statutory definitions that address the two issues to be considered in this hearing. "Necessity" is defined to mean: a reasonable need which considers the greatest public good and the least inconvenience and expense to the condemning party and to the property owner. Necessity shall not be measured merely by expense or convenience to the condemning party. Due consideration shall be given to the adequacy of other property and locations and to the quantity, kind and extent of cultivated and agricultural land which may be taken or rendered unfit for use by the proposed taking. In this matter the court shall view the problem from both a long range agricultural land use viewpoint as well as from the immediate taking of agricultural lands which may be involved. Consideration also shall be given to the effect upon home and homestead rights and the convenience of the owner of the land; to the effect of the highway upon the scenic and recreational values of the highway; to the need to accommodate present and future utility installations within the highway corridor; to the need to mitigate the environmental impacts of highway construction; and to the effect upon town grand lists and revenues. With regard to the issue of necessity, the Council should also note that it has, at least on a preliminary basis, identified a public need to acquire the subject property. As recently as February 14, 2004, the Council adopted an "official Map" pursuant to 24 V.S.A. §4421 that shows proposed public road improvements on the property. An official map must be based on the "most accurate data available" at the time the map is prepared. The second definition for the Council's consideration addresses the amount of compensation to be paid. This is defined as: [T] he value for the most reasonable use of the property or rights in the property, and of the business on the property, and the direct and proximate decrease in the value of the remaining property or rights in the property and the business on the property. The added value, if any, to the remaining property or right in the property, which accrues directly to the owner of the property as a result of the Charles Rafter, Manager City of South Burlington August 29, 2008 Page 4 taking or use, as distinguished from the general public benefit, shall be considered in the determination of damages. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Otherwise, I will look forward to seeing you at the hearing. Sine _ly, Steven F.

The first Tuesday is the traditional Vermont Town Meeting date. Please hold the public discussion. You may then take action by approving a motion to legally warn the City Meeting date for the first Tuesday of March. It will be helpful to set as a policy, in the motion, that this warned date will continue as the official warned meeting date until such time as Council chooses to change the date as permitted by Section 502 of the Charter(attached). This way the Council will not have to take specific action every year, unless you want to change the date. All other legal dates, such as notification and public hearing dates will change in compliance with the new date. It is not necessary to amend the Charter, although you could do so as part of the package to be voted on in March(or May). Sincerely, \VC— Charles Hafter City Manager auditor shall also perform an annual audit of the South Burlington School District accounts . The elective office of auditor shall be abolished and the appointed auditor shall be responsible for and have all the powers and duties as are prescribed for town auditors under the laws of this state. (5) Adopt an official seal for the city. (c) Direct the City Treasurer to create and maintain a special reserve fund for the City Fire Department to be used exclusively for the purchase or rebuilding of necessary vehicles and attendant equipment. The Council shall have the authority to purchase or rebuild such necessary vehicles and attendant equipment by utilizing the proceeds of the special reserve fund, and may partially fund any expenditure by incurring indebtedness in amount not to exceed four times the amount of proceeds paid from the special reserve fund for the purchase or rebuilding. Any indebtedness shall be paid within four years of the date it is originally incurred in as equal annual installments as possible. The funds appropriated to this special reserve fund and the funds used to pay any indebtedness incurred shall be included in the allowable net cost of operations as specified in 1309 . 1 .

APPLICATION OF GENERAL LAWS Provisions of the laws of the State of Vermont relating to the qualifications of electors, the manner of voting, the duties of elections officers and all other particulars respective to • preparation for, conducting and management of elections, so far as they may be applicable, shall govern all municipal elections, and all general and special meetings, except as otherwise provided in this charter.

TIME OF HOLDING (a) The annual city meetings of the city and the South Burlington School District for the election of officers, the voting on the budgets if required by the provisions of this charter, and any other business included in the warnings for said meetings, shall be held on the third Tuesday in May, unless otherwise legally warned by the council . (b) The election of officers and the voting on all questions shall be by Australian ballot system.

I have a deep love and respect for the incredible natural resource that Red Rocks is to our community. For two decades I have walked daily in the park. I often find myself educating users about dog and bike policies, picking up unwanted litter, extinguishing fires, and in general keeping a keen eye on the health and care of the plants and animals who thrive in the park. The park has obviously seen a dramatic increase of usage as well as mis-sue over the years and shows signs of erosion. I want to help keep it a vital healthy natural environment for all to enjoy and see the Committee as a good vehicle to continue my love, care, and stewardship of the Park.

The City is eligible to apply for up to $40,000 to assist in the preparation of an application for State designation. A ten (10) percent match is required, which would be procured through funds from the Planning& Zoning Department's budget. A successful designation of an area of the City as a Growth Center would bring with it multiple benefits to the City and its landowners. Among these benefits: ➢ Eligibility for Tax Increment Financing and a judgment that locational criteria have been met; ➢ Raised Act 250 Threshold for Mixed-Income Housing & Mixed-Use Projects (Mixed income housing with 200 or more housing units or a mixed use project with 200 or more housing units, municipality of 15,000 or more.); ➢ Eligibility to apply for Act 250 Master Plan Permit; ➢ Reduced Act 250 Mitigation requirements for Loss of Primary Agricultural Soils; and, ➢ Priority Consideration for State grant and funding programs The grant funds would be used to help develop the City's application and meet the program's stringent requirements that the City demonstrate its ability to foster well-planned,Smart Growth. Anticipated work to be done in seeking this designation includes: ➢ Preparing a"build-out" analysis of growth over the next 20 years; ➢ Identify the boundaries of a Growth Center that would accommodate the majority of the City's growth over the next 20 years; ➢ Undertaking extensive public outreach throughout the development of a Growth Center boundary and application; ➢ Recommending any needed amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use & Development Regulations; and, ➢ Preparing Growth Center application materials 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com � l southburlington PLANNING & ZONING SOUTH BURLINGTON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD AGENDA Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Deliberative Session - 7:00pm - City Hall Small Conference Room Regular Meeting 7:30pm SOUTH BURLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA 3 - 550 Dorset Street 1.
