Minutes of June 17, 1982 The minutes of June 17, 1982 were approved on a motion by Michael Flaherty, a second by Hugh Marvin and a unanimous vote. Sewer Line Extension to Swift Street Mr. Szymanski explained the sewage problems at Swift Estates. Fourteen lots there have municipal water and on site septic tanks. The heavy soils have created some sewage problems. He recommended correcting the situation by extending the sewer line from Ridgewood Estates southerly to serve this development. There is adequate unappropriated funds remaining from prior sewer construction projects to extend the lines at the City's expense to the first lot west of the pond for a distance of approximately 630 feet. To sewer the entire development would cost $105,000. The City's share would be $30,000, the difference to be paid by the landowners. The size of the lines serving this development should be 12 inch pipe so as to accommodate future extensions. The cost of this oversized pipe is $4,000 more than the standard 8 inch pipe. The City will pay for the difference. Mr. Frank Pichon of 206 Meadowood Drive felt their was a serious sewage problem for himself and his neighbors. He would like to see the City put in the sewer line. Mr. Szymanski was directed by the City Council to develope a cost analysis of constructing these sewer lines, inclusive of the means of financing. Continue Review of Proposed Zoning Regulations Mr. Robert Wagner of the State Agricultural Department introduced Gerald Milot from Milot Realty who would present a Zoning proposal on the Southeast Quadrant. The Agriculture Department and Milot had developed these plan so as to facilitate Act 250 review and to ensure large open spaces in this part of our City. Mr. Milot presented his land use plan. Properties in residential areas would be zoned two units per acre and as much as one third of the property would be left open for later agricultural use. The City would be deeded this open space and the State Agriculture Department would contact South Burlington farmers to determine their interest in farming the land for a season. The open space land would be planned so that it would be contiguous to other open land and in this way maximize the potential usefullness for farming. Mr. Milot indicated his proposal was directed at residentially zoned areas and not industrial areas. The City Council requested this proposal be presented with greater detail at the next Council meeting. Comments were requested from the City Planner and the City Attorney. There was some discussion on the industrial zoned land. The Council requested Dave Spitz, City Planner draft a policy on planned industrial areas for the next meeting. This should better define what can or can't be done in these areas.
