TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
SUBJECT: #SP-21-039 1840 Spear Street Site Plan Application
DATE: December 7, 2021 Development Review Board meeting
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site plan application #SP-21-039 of South Village Communities, LLC to provide a replacement plan for
trees and shrubs that were improperly removed. The plan consists of installing a heavily landscaped
passive recreation area and walking path between Aiken Street and Spear Street, east of the existing
paved recreation path, 1840 Spear Street.
CONTEXT
The Board held a hearing on this application on October 5, 2021. The Board continued the hearing and
directed the applicant to prepare a maintenance plan and meet with the HOA. Based on feedback from
the HOA, the applicant has significantly modified the proposed planting plan, removing the previously-
proposed walking path and reducing the amount of vegetation proposed. Since the modifications are
so significant, Staff has prepared this memo as a full staff report.
The area, a common land lot east of Spear Street and west of Aiken Street within South Village Phase 1,
is represented on previously-approved plans by a general wooded area and not by individual trees. The
applicant has represented that they are responsible, as part of their Land Management Plan approved
under Act 250, to actively remove invasive species throughout the project. In December 2020, the
applicant intended to remove invasive species in this wood concurrently with construction of the multi-
family housing on Aiken Street because removal would be more difficult once the homes were
constructed. The contractor responsible for removing the invasive species removed significantly more
trees than was intended. The applicant reports that a total of 41 trees were removed. 35 trees of
various mature sizes are proposed. The City Zoning Administrative Officer, as an enforcement
mechanism, directed the applicant to prepare a replacement planting plan to re-establish the wooded
area with native vegetation to provide screening of the multifamily buildings on Aiken Street.
This project is subject to review under the Land Development Regulation Standards covering the SEQ-NR
Section 14.06 General Review Standards, Section 14.07 Specific Review Standards, as well as various
other standard provisions of the LDR which apply to all properties.
The project is subject to the 12/28/2020 Land Development Regulations since it was submitted prior to
the warning date for the draft regulations.
Numbered items for the Board’s attention are in red.

B) SOUTHEAST QUADRANT STANDARDS
9.06 Dimensional and Design Requirements Applicable to All Sub-Districts. The following standards
shall apply to development and improvements within the entire SEQ:
A. Height. n/a
B. Open Space and Resource Protection.
(1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels
The overall South Village PUD contains a network of open space. Staff considers this criterion met.
(2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the
Regulating Plan for the applicable sub-district allowing carefully planned development at
the average densities provided in this bylaw.
Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management
shall be established by the applicant.
South Village has an open space management plan, which the applicant has indicated pertains to
maintenance of the large natural open spaces east of phases 1 and 2 and west of phase 3. At the
direction of the Board and since this is the first active and managed open space proposed within
the development, the applicant has prepared a management plan for this area. The management
plan includes the following sections.
• construction sequencing
• planting notes
• maintenance plan
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
1. Staff considers construction sequencing and planting notes are not part of a management plan
and should instead be removed from the management plan and provide on the landscaping
drawing
2. The management plan includes that all invasive species and hazardous trees which pose a safety
threat within the “area of disturbance” be removed prior to planting of the replacement plantings.
The “area of disturbance” is not indicated on the provided plans. At the October 5 hearing, the
Board expressed concern that if invasive species remaining in the undisturbed area were removed
prior to the new plantings becoming established, the remaining buffer would be further
diminished, especially prior to maturity of the proposed replacement plantings. Staff recommends
the Board require the applicant to limit immediate invasive species removal to the cleared area
only, and indicate that area on the plan.
3. On October 5, the Board and applicant discussed that invasive species removal within the
remaining undisturbed wooded area would not occur until the new vegetation had the opportunity
to become established. The management plan does not include such a provision, and instead
simply states that for the entirety of the area including both the undisturbed area and the
replacement area, invasive trees and shrubs and trees posing a safety hazard may be removed.
Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to modify the plan to prohibit removal of any
but trees posing a safety hazard until such time as three years have passed or the landscaping
bond has been released, whichever is later.
4. The management plan does not assign responsibility for maintenance. Staff recommends that the
Board require responsibility for maintenance to be assigned in the plan.
5. Finally, once corrected to the satisfaction of the Board, Staff recommends the maintenance plan
be incorporated into this approval.
(4) Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after
construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous
conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review Board may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the
General Permit for Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental
Conservation.
The City Stormwater Section reviewed the provided plans on September 23, 2021 and
indicated there are no comments.
The applicant had submitted an erosion prevention and sediment control plan for the
proposed replacement plantings. This plan has no been updated to reflect the new proposed
planting program. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to do so as a condition
of approval. Further, the EPSC plan calls out that permanent stabilization is to take place
within 7 days. LDR Article 16 requires stabilization within 48 hours of final grading. Staff
recommends the Board require the applicant to modify the plans to reflect the requirements
of Article 16. Staff considers this also can be a condition of approval.
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
The applicant has also not included a construction entrance on the plans. In response to a
staff query, the applicant provided the following narrative regarding construction access.
Initially we will access the site via the driveway leading from Lots 4A and 4B on Aiken
Street which as you know is currently under construction (and will be until early next
summer). Future maintenance or replacements of the new plantings, existing plantings,
walking path etc will be the responsibility of South Village Communities LLC during the
bonding period and the South Village HOA post bond period (because it is on common
land) and will be accessed by the grounds crew (the same way they grounds crew does
now to access to maintain the grass and the landscaping along Spear Street that was
approved in Phase 1 & 1A) by coming into that Common Land lot from East Allen Road
and South Jefferson Road (for tree maintenance or replacement all that is used is a small
tractor and/ or pick up truck). We would prefer to have a COA that shows these access
areas from lots 4A & 4B on an updated the EPSC plan as recommended. Because there is
not ground disturbance to replace or maintain them I don’t think it is necessary to show
that on any plan but we can certainly show how the grounds crews accesses it during our
presentation.
On October 5, the Board determined they would include a condition requiring the applicant
to modify the plans to show construction access as described.
(5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or
primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically
compatible with the surrounding landscape. Chain link fencing other than for agricultural
purposes shall be prohibited within PUDs; the use of split rail or other fencing made of
natural materials is encouraged.
No natural features are adjacent to this site. Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through
development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing
agricultural operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new
opportunities for agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community-
supported agriculture.
No changes to agricultural uses are proposed. Staff considers this application does not affect
overall compliance with this criterion.
D. Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review
Board that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development,
the location of buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned
public facilities as depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths,
streets, park land, schools, and sewer and water facilities.
The South Village master plan complies with the official map overall. No changes are proposed.
(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity shall be available to meet the
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
needs of the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirement, as
evidenced by a City water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water
and Wastewater Permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation.
No changes to water or wastewater demand are proposed.
(2) Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting
shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and
infrastructure to adjacent properties.
No changes to existing recreation paths are proposed. On October 5, the applicant’s
proposal included a woodchip path connected at both ends to the existing recreation path
between Aiken Street and Spear Street. The path is no longer proposed. Staff considers this
criterion met.
(3) Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement
with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council.
Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(4) The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire
protection can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to,
minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions
where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location
of hydrants.
Since no structures are included, Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
D. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies
sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity
for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles
between neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on
the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants.
(1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services
and infrastructure to adjacent properties.
(2) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and
maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to
maintenance that has been approved by the City Council.
(3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D)(4) related to connections between adjacent streets and
neighborhoods shall apply.
No changes to streets or circulation are proposed. Staff considers these criteria not applicable.
9.08 SEQ-NR Sub-District; Specific Standards
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
The SEQ-NR sub-district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated in this
Section.
A. Street, Block and Lot Pattern
No changes affecting street, block or lot patterns are proposed.
B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards
(1) - (6) Staff considers these criteria not applicable.
C. Residential Design
Staff considers these criteria not applicable.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
14.06 General Site Plan Review Standards
A. Relationship of Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Due
attention by the applicant should be given to the goals and objectives and the stated land use
policies for the City of South Burlington as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff considers this project does not detract from compliance with the comprehensive plan.
B. Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site.
(1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from
structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement,
and adequate parking areas.
Staff considers that the trees that were removed provided a transition between the SEQ-NR on
the east side of Spear Street and the R1 zoning district on the west side of Spear Street. As noted
above, the proposed plantings consist of deciduous trees in a mixture of sizes. The pre-existing
plants that remain in the wood consist of tall thin trees.
6. On October 5, the Board expressed concern that, for the first several years, the replacement
plantings would not provide as much screening as the woods that had been removed. The revised
plan provides a less dense screen than was reviewed on October 5. Staff recommends the Board
consider whether to require lower shrubs or evergreen trees to be incorporated into the plan. Staff
considers there may also be an opportunity to add additional plantings within the undisturbed
area if they allow removal of invasive species now rather than after the new vegetation has been
established.
Additional screening requirements are included in 13.06C, discussed under 14.07D below.
(2) Parking:
(a) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. Any side of a building facing
a public street shall be considered a front side of a building for the purposes of this
subsection.
No changes to parking are proposed.
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
(3) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and
scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or anticipated
adjoining buildings.
No changes to buildings are proposed.
(4) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior
alterations or building expansion shall, to the extent feasible, be underground.
No changes to structures are proposed.
C. Relationship of Structures and Site to Adjoining Area.
(1) The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common
materials and architectural characteristics (e.g., rhythm, color, texture, form or detailing),
landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions
between buildings of different architectural styles.
See 14.06B(1) above.
(2) Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed
structures.
No changes to structure are proposed.
14.07 Specific Review Standards
A. Access to Abutting Properties. The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of
access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto
an arterial or collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to
improve general access and circulation in the area.
B. Utility Services. Electric, telephone and other wire-served utility lines and service connections shall
be underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a
harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site.
C. Disposal of Wastes. All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance
with any recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with
opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s).
No changes to these three criteria are proposed.
D. Landscaping and Screening Requirements. (See Article 13, Section 13.06)
13.06C. Screening or buffering. The Development Review Board will require landscaping,
fencing, land shaping and/or screening along property boundaries (lot lines) whenever it
determines that a) two adjacent sites are dissimilar and should be screened or buffered from
each other, or b) a property’s appearance should be improved, which property is covered
excessively with pavement or structures or is otherwise insufficiently landscaped, or c) a
commercial, industrial, and multi-family use abuts a residential district or institutional use.
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
Staff considers provision (c) of this criterion to be partially applicable, though the appearance of
the multi-family buildings on Aiken Street were designed and approved to be compatible with
adjacent single and two-family buildings and therefore the need for full screening is reduced.
(1) All off-street parking areas, off-street loading areas, outdoor storage areas, refuse,
recycling, and compost collection (excluding on-site composting) areas, and utility
improvements such as transformer(s), external heating and cooling equipment shall be
effectively screened.
Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
(2) Such screening shall be a permanently maintained landscape of evergreen or a mix of
evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, and/or a solid fence.
7. The reclamation plan includes 31 trees, entirely deciduous. Staff considers this criterion
further supports that a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs should be provided.
(3) The landscaping shall be designed to minimize erosion and stormwater runoff, and to
protect neighboring residential properties from the view of uses and parking areas on the site. The landscaping shall be of such type, height, and spacing, as in the judgment of the
Development Review Board, will effectively screen the activities on the lot from the view of
persons standing on adjoining properties. The plan and specifications for such planting shall
be filed with the approved plan for the use of the lot.
Previous approvals found this wooded area to be required to remain.
(4) A solid wall or fence, of location, height, and design approved by the Development Review
Board, may be substituted for the required planting.
Landscaping is proposed. This criterion is not applicable.
(5) Modifications. Where the existing topography and/or landscaping provides adequate
screening or would render the normally required screening inadequate, the Development
Review Board may modify the planting and/or buffer requirements by, respectively,
decreasing or increasing the requirements.
Staff considers the relative elevation of the site, which is 15-16 feet higher than Spear Street,
to be a relevant factor in the effectiveness of the screening.
8. Staff recommends the Board determine, given the provided plans and testimony, as well as any
additional testimony the applicant wishes to provide, whether the Board finds the criteria of
13.06C, and by extension 14.07F, to be met.
9. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide a bond for the value of the plantings,
as may be adjusted for the Board, in accordance with the provisions of LDR 15.15B.
The applicant has, in their cover memo of August 13, 2021 requested two modifications of the
provision of 13.06I that all planting shown on an approved site plan shall be maintained in a vigorous
growing condition throughout the duration of the use.
180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont 05403 | 802-846-4106 | www.southburlingtonvt.gov
10. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant whether they still wish to request these
modifications.
• First, they have requested the Board include a condition that allows the applicant to remove
any remaining invasive tree or shrub species, as well as any dead, dying or diseased trees
within the remaining stand of shrubs and trees as approved by the City Arborist.
o This request is discussed above.
• Second, they have requested a condition that would allow the landowner to replace trees on
the landscaping plan as approved by the City Arborist based upon supply chain limitations.
o On October 5, the Board indicated they would allow replacement plantings of the
same size, shape and nature (deciduous and evergreen), and require such plantings
to be approved by the Zoning Administrative Officer prior to planting.
E. Modification of Standards. Except within the City Center Form Based Code District, where the
limitations of a site may cause unusual hardship in complying with any of the standards above
and waiver therefrom will not endanger the public health, safety or welfare, the Development
Review Board may modify such standards as long as the general objectives of Article 14 and
the City's Comprehensive Plan are met. However, in no case shall the DRB permit the location
of a new structure less than five (5) feet from any property boundary and in no case shall be
the DRB allow land development creating a total site coverage exceeding the allowable limit
for the applicable zoning district in the case of new development, or increasing the coverage
on sites where the pre-existing condition exceeds the applicable limit.
Staff considers no modification of standards to be necessary.
F. Low Impact Development. The use of low impact site design strategies that minimize site
disturbance, and that integrate structures, landscaping, natural hydrologic functions, and
various other techniques to minimize runoff from impervious surfaces and to infiltrate
precipitation into underlying soils and groundwater as close as is reasonable practicable to
where it hits the ground, is required pursuant to the standards contained within Article 12.
As noted above, the City Stormwater Section had no comments on the application.
i. Standards for Roadways, Parking and Circulation. Standards of Section 15.12 Standards for
Roadways, Parking, and Circulation shall be met.
Staff considers this criterion not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board work with the applicant to address the issues identified herein.

Management Plan for the Tree Reclamation Area located on
a portion of Lot #1 in South Village Communities.
The intent of this Management Plan is to ensure that remaining trees and shrubs
are protected and proposed new plantings are properly planted, maintained and
protected.This management plan is broken into the following three sections:
Construction Sequencing, Planting Notes and Maintenance. The specific location,
size and type of plantings as well as other items referenced in this Management
Plan can be seen on Exhibit A, which is a site plan titled L-100 South Village – Lot
1, Tree Reclamation Plan, and dated 02/25/2012, last revised on 11/08/21 and
prepared by T.J. Boyle & Associates, LLC.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING:
1. The contractor shall install silt fence around the area of disturbance.
2. A qualified third party will mark all exotic/invasive shrubs, trees and
grasses or “hazard” trees that are posing a safety threat to people using
either the existing bike path.
3. The contractor shall install a temporary access drive from the adjacent
lot (4A).
4. The contractor shall remove the stumps and all exotic/invasive shrubs,
trees and grasses or “hazard” trees.
5. The contractor shall then follow the Planting Notes outlined on this plan.
6. The contractor shall install topsoil to a depth of 4” on all disturbed area
7. The contractor shall remove the temporary access drive.
8. The contractor shall plant a grass seed mixture that is recommended by
the landscape architect and then apply mulch on top of the seed to
promote germination and soil stabilization.
9. The contractor shall remove the silt fence once the grass is established.
PLANTING NOTES (Trees & Shrubs):
1. All plantings shall be balled and burlapped or container grown as specified
on the planting schedule depicted on Exhibit A.
2. All plantings shall be installed in accordance with Details #’s 1 & 2 on
Exhibit A.
2
3. For container grown stock, the container shall be removed and the
container ball shall be cut through the surface in two vertical locations.
4. All root wrapping materials shall be removed regardless of whether or not
they are natural or synthetic.
5. All plant beds must have a minimum bed depth of 18” with a 2/3 topsoil
and 1/3 compost mix.
6. All plants shall be watered thoroughly twice during the first 24-hour period
after planting and then weekly if necessary during the first growing season.
Maintenance Plan:
1. No maintenance shall occur unless specifically outlined in this plan.
2. Only woody exotic/invasive shrubs and trees or “hazard” trees that are
posing a safety threat to people using either the existing bike path may be
removed. The most prominent species of concern are the woody
exotic/invasives known as glossy buckthorn, smooth buckthorn,
honeysuckle and Amur maple.
3. After initial Construction Sequencing, no mechanical equipment with the
exception of a chainsaw shall be used to remove dead trees or invasive
trees and shrubs.
4. All trees and shrubs in the area labelled existing woods on Exhibit A shall
remain unless otherwise noted in this Management Plan.
5. The grass seed is intended to keep all exotic/invasive shrubs, trees and
grasses seeds from germinating. This area will be mowed for at least the
first 3 years.
