Sign Disbursement Orders Disbursement orders were signed. Public hearing on amendment to City Zoning Ordinance. Amendment to include a zone change of a parcel of land of approximately 110 acres located south of Interstate 89 and east of Hinesburg Road (formerly a part of the Wright Farm) Mr. Farrar noted that at the previous meeting on this item, it had been referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration of the modifications made by the Council. The Commission voted 6-1 to concur with the Council changes. Mr. Paulsen moved to approve the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance for the City of South Burlington for the 110 acre parcel located immediately south of Interstate 89 and east of Hinesburg Road, consisting of the parcel owned by Boardman, as preliminarily approved at the meeting of March 16, 1981. Mr. Towne seconded the motion. A member of the audience asked whether the Planning Commission had allowed enough room for on-off ramps at the Hinesburg Road intersection with the Interstate and was told that any such considerations would be taken up at site plan review. The motion carried with Mr. Flaherty voting no. Appoint Town Service Officer Mr. Flaherty moved that, in recognition of the fine job William Szymanski has done during the past year, he be reappointed Town Service Officer for the next year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Burgess and all voted aye. Sign Renewal Notes The notes were not ready. Sign Landfill Certification Compliance Agreement Mr. Paulsen asked whether the City Attorney had reviewed the document and whether it was in the best interests of the city to sign it. Mr. Szymanski said it was similar to others the city has had before. Mr. Paulsen asked if the dates were reasonable and Mr. Szymanski felt they were. Mr. Flaherty moved to sign the Landfill Certification Compliance Agreement. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and it carried 5-0. Review list of Tax Penalty Waivers Mr. Paulsen moved to acknowledge receipt of the general entry penalties as of April 6, 1981. Mr. Flaherty seconded the motion and all voted aye. Review Zoning and Planning agendas Mr. Paulsen asked whether the Council had received a request from the Planning Commission with regard to improvements at the intersection of Kennedy Drive and Hinesburg Road. Mr. Farrar said he had not formally received anything. Mr. Paulsen referred to Planner David Spitz' 4/3 memo which dealt with a request to the School Board for pick-ups and drop-offs on both sides of the road, mailboxes both sides, and a lowering of the speed limit. Mr. Farrar felt the Planning Commission should act on them first, but Mrs. Coffin, an area resident, asked the Council to consider the items. Mr. Farrar noted that Hinesburg Road was a State road and he asked what speed might be appropriate. Mrs. Coffin suggested 35 mph. Mr. Paulsen moved that we instruct the City Manager to request the State to review the speed limit on Hinesburg Road from Kennedy Drive, and if possible, to lower the speed limit. Mr. Towne seconded the motion. Mr. Paulsen said he did not feel qualified to say what the speed limit should be. Mr. Szymanski was requested to point out that similar streets in the city had speed limits of 35 mph. An audience member also suggested more enforcement of the speed limit in that area. Mrs. Coffin also felt it was important that the State be informed that there would be an industrial building in the area in the near future. The motion carried unanimously. As far as the request for school bus stops, Mr. Paulsen moved to ask the City Manager to forward a copy of this to the School Board and ask them to put it on their agenda for a School Board meeting. Mr. Flaherty seconded the motion and all voted for it. Mr. Paulsen then moved to ask the City Manager to request from the Post Office that they consider making service both sides of the street. Mr. Flaherty seconded the motion and all voted for it. Old business Mr. Burgess asked where things stood with the Police Department Bargaining Unit. He was told that the unit had received more information on the dental plan and the money offer and that the ball was in their court now. Mr. Towne asked about the City Hall Employees and was told that their representative had not been able to attend this meeting. Executive session for discussion of a personnel matter Mr. Flaherty moved to go into executive session for the purpose of discussing a personnel matter and to reconvene without taking action, for the only purpose of adjourning. Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion and it carried 5-0. At 8:30 the Council came out of executive session. The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.
