TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
SUBJECT: #SD-22-04 119 Tilley Drive – Sketch Plan Application
DATE: May 4, 2022 Development Review Board meeting
Sketch plan application #SD-22-04 of UVM Medical Center to construct a one and a half story 84,000 sf
medical office with associated parking, equipment and stormwater treatment on an existing
undeveloped 13.5 acre lot, 119 Tilley Drive.
The Board held a hearing on this application on April 5, 2022. At that hearing, the applicant provided a
thorough presentation of the planned project. The Board then reviewed some of the provided staff
comments, through Staff comment #8 of 11, and continued the hearing to the remainder of the staff
report.
For this continued hearing on May 4, 2022, Staff recommends the Board review the remaining Staff
comments #9 through 11, and then go back and provide feedback on the project in totality.
The Board’s feedback on comments #1 through 8 is summarized below.
Staff Comment #1: Regarding to the need for a master plan. The applicant proposes to permanently
conserve the undeveloped portion of the site, therefore sunsetting it’s development potential and
obviating the need for a master plan.
Staff Comment #2 & #3: Regarding the site layout resulting in wetland impacts. The Board provided
the feedback that the applicant needed to revise the site to reduce wetland impacts or more
thoroughly substantiate their assertion that the proposed impact represents the minimum feasible.
Staff Comment #4: Regarding reservation of land for the roadway identified on the Official Map.
The applicant testified that they believe the reservation of land on Lot 2 obviates the need to
evaluate whether the roadway shown on the Official Map is feasible from a wetland impact
perspective. Staff notes the important distinction that the City has no rights to the land on Lot 2; it
has simply been indicated on the 2004 record plans subdividing Lot 2 as “Proposed Future Interstate
Off Ramp” and on a plat recorded in the Land Records on June 23, 2021 as “Planned 100 Foot Wide
Right of Way (I-89 Off Ramp).”
Staff Comment #5 & #6: Regarding connections to Official Map roadway. These comments referred
to the connection across the rear of the subject property to the Official Map roadway, and the
connection of the subject property to the Official Map roadway. The applicant proposes to make
these connections towards the rear of the site.
Staff Comment #7: Regarding traffic patterns. The applicant provided a description of traffic
patterns in their initial presentation on the project.

Staff Comment #8 Regarding traffic study technical review. The Board invoked technical review of
the applicant’s traffic study. Staff will provide the traffic study to a consultant and obtain applicant
approval for the estimated cost of review as soon as it is available.
