Please use proper judgment and caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email. Hello Marla, Below I provide comments on BFJ’s review of the 510 Shelburne application. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments on this response. I will follow-up before the end of the week regarding 916 Shelburne. Thank you, Mark 510 Shelburne Road BFJ conducted a review of the January 12th, 2022 Traffic Summary memorandum prepared by Trudell Consulting Engineers (Colen Johnson, P.E.) for the proposed mixed-use development at 510 Shelburne Road that would replace an existing gas station. Trudell’s trip generation calculation is based on an assumed mix of ITE uses (Coffee/Donut Shop without Drive-Through/#936; Walk-In Bank/#911; Small Office Building/#712; Mid-Rise Multifamily Housing/#221) and is estimated to generate 112 weekday PM peak hour trips. This trip generation estimate of the proposed development is exactly equal to the estimated ITE trip generation of the existing gas station. BFJ analysis upholds Trudell’s findings that the traffic generation estimates calculated for the proposed mix of ITE uses does not exceed the 112 weekday PM peak hour trips generated by the existing gas station. Our analysis based on the ITE Traffic generation 11th edition projects slightly lower generation volumes compared to the applicant’s Memo. As noted in the Traffic Summary memo, the proposed commercial uses in Trudell’s analysis are demonstrative. Exact commercial uses are to be finalized prior to building occupation. BFJ sees the Walk-in Bank ITE use as relatively conservative as this is estimated to generate more traffic than other potential uses such as a High-Turnover Restaurant (ITE #932).

I will be sure to provide comments by Feb 18th for this as well. I see that the previous approval files have been placed in the folder, thank you. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

Project Description Site plan application #SP-22-004 of Champlain Oil Company, LLC to amend a previously approved plan for a mixed commercial use building on an existing 0.68 acre lot. The amendment consists of increasing the square footage from 13,818 sf to 19,168 sf by adding one and a half stories, adding 9 residential units, and expanding the array of allowed commercial uses, 510 Shelburne Road. Can you review and provide comments by Feb 18? They correctly state that they’re replacing a high traffic generating use with (hopefully) a lower one. If they exceed the previous gas station trip generation, they’ll be required to provide mitigation in accordance with Appendix B, which I think they’re doing by closing curb cuts, but I think the way they’ve set up their traffic study, their intention is to stay under the existing generation. Are they bending anything to stay under the existing generation? If so, I have no compunctions about asking them to demonstrate they’re providing adequate mitigation. 3 Here’s a link to the previous approval from 2020. They never built the building that was approved, and that approval expires in a month or so. SP-20-029 (sbvt-records.info) [files aren’t in there right this second but they will be shortly]. We really didn’t go into traffic too much at that time because they were proposing a specific use rather than this “TBD use” that they’re proposing now.
