Mr. Austin moved to continue the final plat application of National Gardening until 9 May. Mr. Crow seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Site plan application of Vermont Gas Systems to construct a 3- story, 32,124 sq. ft. general office building and razing a existing office building and accessory structure, 63 and 69 Swift Street: Mr. Webster located the building on the south side of Swift St. just west of the intersection with Swift St. adjacent to the existing gas company building. The current building will be removed and a new 3-story structure built. Mr. Webster said they are still convinced that entering at the high side of the building is right for visibility. Mr. Burgess noted that comments have been gotten from the Rec Path Committee that because of topography, the city shouldn't go after an easement on this site. Mr. Austin noted that Councilman Cimonetti had felt it would be good to access at the current point of access. Mr. Austin said he had been on the site and he didn't think that was feasible and didn't recommend changing from what the applicant proposes. Mr. Austin moved the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Vermont Gas Systems to construct a 3-story, 32,124 sq. ft. general office building and raze an existing office building and accessory structure, 63 and 69 Swift St, as depicted on a two page set of plans, page one entitled "Layout and Util- ities, Vermont Gas Systems, Inc, 69 Swift Street, South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Wiemann-Lamphere, Architects Inc, dated 3/28/95, with the following stipulations: 1.

For the purpose of calculating required road impact fees under the South Burlington Impact Fee Ordinance, the Planning Commission estimates that the proposed office building will generate 68.7 additional vehicle trip ends during the P.M. peak hour. 5. A sewer allocation of 1170 gpd is approved. The applicant shall pay the per gallon fee prior to issuance of a zoninq permit. 6. All new exterior lighting shall consist of downcastinct shielded fixtures so as not to cast light beyond the property line.

The applicant must submit the final plat application within_ 12_ months or this approval is null and void. Mr. Sheahan seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 8. Site plan application of Vermont Gas Systems to construct a 3- story, 32,124 sq. ft. general office building and razing an existing office building and accessory structure, 63 and 69 Swift Street: Mr. Webster located the site on the south side of Swift Street. There is presently a wood frame structure and an ancillary building behind it. Access to the new building will be on the west side with parking in the rear. Access will come out on grade with the adjacent pipe yard. The building will be 3- stories with one side having the second floor at ground level due to elevations. The lot is sheet -drained. The parking lot will not be curbed but the applicant assured the Commission that drainage water will stay on site. Mr. Austin suggested a drainage easement between the two properties involved. Mr. Austin asked if a car heading east on Swift St. will be able to see a car exiting this lot. Mr. Webster said it would. Mr. Cimonetti asked why the curb cut has been placed as it has. Mr. Webster said they felt coming in at the highest point would be best for visibility as cars can be seen coming from both directions. The curb cut will be increased from 15 ft. to 24 ft. wide. Mr. Cimonetti asked if there is a circulation of traffic through PLANNING COMMISSION 4 April 1995 page 7 the pipe yard lot. Mr. Webster said the pipe yard is also a service yard and is gated so, it can be controlled. Mr. Cimonetti said the building should be designed to appear to front on Swift St. Mr. Webster said the Swift St. side will look like and act like the front of the building. Mr. Weith noted the Swift St. right of way is 66 ft. There is a plan to increase this to 80 ft. Landowners have been dedicating an 8 ft. strip for this purpose. Mr. Webster said that Vermont Gas has agreed to this. Mr. Beaudin felt this was a difficult site handled well. Mr. Cimonetti asked if there has been discussion of a bike path. Mr. Weith said there hasn't. Mr. Austin felt it would be well to look at a bike path connection. Members agreed to delay approval so this can be looked into. Mr. Austin moved that the application of Vermont Gas be continued_ to 25 A ril and that between now and that meetinq it is recommended that the City Planner have a chance to review the ELM for an easement for the Recreation Path. Mr.�Teeson seconded.' Motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Clerk SOUTH BUidINGTON RECREATION DEPARTMENT 575 DORSET ST., SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT 05403 TEL: (802) 658-7956 BRUCE O'NEILL, CLP DIRECTOR THOMAS HUBBARD, CLP ASST DIRECTOR TO: Planning Commission FROM: Recreation Path Committee RE: Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. DATE: April 21, 1995 The Recreation Path Committee reviewed the plans for the new office building on Swift Street being proposed by the Vermont Gas Company at a meeting on Monday, April 17th. These plans were reviewed in light of the City's desire to find an alternative route to Lindenwood Drive. The area behind the properties was looked at, at the time that Phase I of the Recreation Path was being planned by the firm that was doing the design work, the State Wetland Specialist, and others. It was determined at that time that we had either a Class III or a Class II wetland situation. It was advised that a Conditional Use Determination would probably have to be done and that this area might fall under the Corps of Engineers. If we were able to obtain permits for construction in this area, the construction would be extremely expensive. In addition, if Vermont Gas Systems were to allow an easement in this area there would be three other property owners that would also have to be willing to give easements, so there is no guarantee this route could become a reality. The Recreation Path Committee has reviewed a number of alternatives including going behind the properties and they have decided it is not a practical alternative for the immediate future. We therefore do not feel it would be of value to seek an easement in that area. Post-iit10 Fax Note 7671 Date - - � _g pages To �L - � � From -fj,r t)r li Co./Dept. Co.

PUBLIC HEARING: Final Plat application of M. & M. Partnershi or a two lot subdivision of a 2 acre parcel into an acre parcels at 59 Swift Street. Arnold Marek explained the proposal. The lot is on Swift Street, across from their Easy Storage business which will occupy one of the proposed lots. Mrs. Lafleur noted that a permanent legal right-of-way will be required over the 20-foot access. The large trees around the property will remain. When lot #1 is developed, the applicant will have to drain that lot across lot #2, so lot #2 will require an easement on it. Mrs. Maher questioned it there is enough building area left on Lot #2 because of the embankment. Mrs. Lafleur said the build- able portion is 29,100 sq. ft. Mr. Belter said a 6,000-8,000 sq. ft. building could be built on such a lot. Mr. Aruzza, a neighbor, complained that dust from the driveway to Easy Storage has bothered them for 2 years and requested that driveways to this development be paved. Me also asked that work not be done on weekends as the noise is disturbing. Mr. Jacob said they could request a construction schedule. Members agreed to notify Mr. Aruzza of the site plan hearing. Mrs. Maher recalled that paving was not required on the prior project because of drainage. Mrs. Lafleur will check on other alternatives. Mr. Dooley moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission aDDrove the 11nal plat apElication o2 Arnola ana Donaia MareK or the su v s on of a 2.04 acre parcel into a 1.07 an 7 acre parcel a ree as s own on a plan e of Survev for Arnold Marekand Donaldare wIrt btreeT, Soutn Burling —ton, vermont preparea o rev se with the foiiowinx s ations: /85, 1.
