EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
THE BASIC PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT IS TO IDENTIFY THE PLANNED APPROACH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE START OF A RENT —A —SPACE MINI —WAREHOUSE BUSINESS AT

OF THREE DIRECTIONS FROM THE EAST, WEST OR NORTH.

MEMORANDUM
TO: South Rurlington Zoning Board of Adjustment
FROM: Stephen Page, Planner
RE: Land Use in the Swift Street - Farrell Street Area
DATE: July 12, 1978
The area in question, along with existing uses, is
shown on the attached map (#l). Current land use is so
varied here that it defies characterization. However, the
pattern of existing land uses and the existing and proposed
roadnetwork provide some indications of which land uses should
be encouraged in this area.
A) Existing Land Use - The area around the inter-
section of Swift and Farrell Streets is confined by I-89
on the north, East Woods and Farrell Park on the east, the
Lindenwood-Brewer residential neighborhoods to the south,
and the Route 7 commercial area to the west. The dominant
use is the corrections center, followed to a lesser extent
by offices warehouse4 and two small automotive operations.
Also; there are approximately a,doien residences in this
area.
B) Existinr- and Proposed Road Network - With a present
(10/�6) average daily traf_Tic-of approximately 2400 vehi-cles,
it is understandable why so little of this land has been
developed in accord with the RR zoning. [dhen and if Swift
Street is widened and extended to Route 116 (as proposed in
the South Rurlington Plan), traffic will increase substantially
because of the lack of east -west routes in the southern half
of the City. However, because Farrell Street terminates in
developed residential neighborhoods at both ends, it does
not seem likely that this intersection (with Swift Street)
will develop into a major one. While it will certainly
exert an influence, I would not care to divine what effect
the Southern Connector might have on this area. Finally, the
South Burlington Plan also proposes an improvement to Route
7 by closing* the west end of Lindenwood Drive, and opening
up the east end by loopin7 throurh the Farrell Park entrance
onto Swift Street - this is a significant conflict with the
layout of the proposal you have before you.
C) Recommendations - I believe the most desirable land
use for this area is generally as outlined on the proposed
land use map in the Comprehensive Plan, and more specifically
as follows (see map #2 enclosed):
-2-
1. Maintain the strip of land between East Woods
and Farrell Park as residential - the homes will benefit from
abutting the parkland and non-residential uses will be a
detriment to the parkland.
2. The area adjacent to Route 7 and the Interstate,
lying west of the Corrections Center should be commercial, to
take advantage of the high traffic volumes and Interstate
access. Residences should be phased out gradually, on a non-
conforming basis.
3. The balance of this area, south and east of the
Corrections Center should be used for wholesaling or ware-
housing type uses. This will accommodate the existing uses,
provide compatible neighbors for the Corrections Center,
utilize a readily accessible location for uses that do not
require high traffic volumes, and allow for the highest and
best use of the land which can reasonably be expected. Residences
should be ,phased out here as well.
In summary, proposed "mini -warehousing" appears to be
compatible with what will and should probably occur in this
area, provided the layout can be revised to incorporate
the new access to Lindenwood Drive.

r
To: South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment
From: Raymond E. Conchieri
Ref: Zoning Board Meeting - 3 July 1978
Date: 17 July 1978
As requested in reference meeting the following site survey was conducted prior
to selection of the land at 85 Swift Street as the site for the planned
Minni-warehouse.
Site requriements prior to study were as follows:
Land type and size:
a. Should be approximately four acres,
b. Should be very flat,
C. Should be close to and have ready access to main traffic arteries.
d. Should have available city sewers and water.
e. Should not be prime commercial land with high traffic volume. Should be
good secondary commercial location.
f. Should be capable of being purchased.
The following survey was conducted in attempting to locate a parcel of land in
accordance with the above requirements.
1. Williston Road Area - No site of 4 acres in size was found to be available.
2. Dorset Street, Hinesburg Road and Kennedy Drive Area - Only one area was found
to be suitable. This was 40 acre site being developed by Munson Company.
Mr. King, representing Munson, stated that they would not sell land and were
only interested in customers where they would build and lease both land and
buildings. These terms were unacceptable.
3o Shelburne Road Area - Only two sites were identified as being large enough to
accomodate a mini -warehouse. The first site owned by Green Mountain Power
(just south of Racine Jeep) was too large (nine acres). Too expensive and on too
steep a slope. The second site was just north of Nordic Ford. It was too large
(eleven acres) and not available for sale. Both of these sites were within the
boundries of the city councils interim zoning regulation and would require access
and egress of customers on to highly traffic Shelburne Road.
4. Farrel Street and Swift Street area - One suitable site was located at 85 Swift
Street. This is the site under consideration.
r
To: South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment
From: Homer Theriault and Raymond Conchieri
Date: 17 July 1978
In order to obtain a professional evaluation of the property under consideration,
an on site meeting was held with Mr. Chauncey Burns, president of Burns Real Estate.
The following comments were obtained.
Site Size:
The site is 4.3 acres. This size is considered too large for an individual
retail business. One acre or less is normally adequate. If the parcel could
be subdivided into two to four parcels then the size would be more compatable
with typical needs.
a
Site Location:
A. Because there are no other retail business in the area that will draw customers,the
site lacks appeal and the advantages of a shopping center or a cluster of retail
stores.
B. Because the site is not on a highly traveled traffic artery, the normal business
obtained with customers passing by will be significantly dimished thus reducing
the appeal of the site for a commercial retail business.
To: South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment
Subject: Traffic Volume & Severity for Planned Minni Warehouse.
From: Raymond E. Conchieri
Ref: Zoning Board Meeting, 3 July 1978
Date: 17 July, 1978
The Minni Warehouse under review by the zoning board has been patterned after
associate rent a space ware houses located in South Windsor and Groton Conn.
Supplementary traffic information as requested in reference meeting was obtained
by contacting Mr. Joseph Henderson who is presently Manager of the South Windsor
Rent a Space Warehouse. The following comments were obtained relative to traffic
volume and severity at that operation.
Exact traffic flow is not available as records of this type are not kept, however
the following estimates were provided.
Traffic Volumn:
Weekdays: o Approximately 15 to 20 vehicles stop at managers office daily to
either rent a space or conduct some form of business.
o Another 20 to 30 vehicles use the facilities daily without stopping
at the managers office.
Total vehicles daily range from 35 to 50.
Saturdays: o Approximately 20 to 25 vehicles stop at managers office to rent a
space or conduct some form of business.
o Another 40 to 50 vehicles use the facilities without stopping at the
managers office.
Total vehicles on Saturday range from 55 to 80.
Traffic Severity:
Vehicles using the facility are fairly uniformally distributed throughout the day.
No peak traffic patterns occur.
Confirmation to the above can be made by calling Mr. Joseph Henderson at 617-289-8355.
