Key Changes: Tilley Drive Rec Path Connection
•The Applicant is unable to secure permission to construct a recreation
path across the neighboring property.
•Applicant has redesigned its path connection to meet with the Medical Center project currently proposed on the adjacent lot.
•This alignment will allow that project to construct the remaining portion of the connection needed to get from Eastview to Tilley Drive.

Key Changes: Tilley Drive Rec Path Connection

Center
Project
•Previous alignment of rec path,
in red, did not line up with the
lot currently being permitted
by the Medical Center.
•Suggested alignment in
purple will allow the adjacent
master plan at Tilley Drive the
opportunity to complete this
connection as part of their
current project.

Key Changes: Tilley Drive Rec Path Connection
•There appears to be room to
complete this recreation path to
Tilley Drive.
21
Key Changes: Lot 24 Development Plan, Stormwater
•In preparing for Act 250 permitting, Applicant discovered that the area
of planned stormwater treatment contemplated at Preliminary Plat is archeologically sensitive
Preliminary Plat
22
Key Changes: Lot 24 Development Plan, Stormwater
•Applicant has worked to incorporate this pond into the development plan south of Kimball Avenue to avoid impacts in this archeologically sensitive area.
•Pond location is grade dependent.
•Pond Size is based on impervious treatment capacity.
•Applicant chose to split the pond into two practices, to maintain the development potential of the corner of Kimball and Old Farm.

Key Changes: Lot 24 Development Plan, Stormwater
•Remaining land area behind new
pond is majority R1 land.
•C1-LR depth did not provide
opportunity for a building of any
size with the addition of the
pond.
•Plan presented focuses on
transition.
•Small development Lot 23
provided for a larger transitionary
building.26
Key Changes: Lot 24 Development Plan, Stormwater
•Four alley load single
family homes
oriented to the
roadway.
•One development lot
where a 2-6 unit
building that orients
both to the arching
sidewalk and the
road may be built.
27
Key Changes: Lot 24 Development Plan, Stormwater
•Pond placement at Kimball
allows for dynamic
development opportunities at
the corner.
•Planning studies show the
ability to connect development
to Kimball.
•This slide shows a concept only,
not a proposal.
28
Key Changes: 100 Old Farm Road
•At the preliminary plat level plans contemplated the potential retention of the existing
single-family home at 100 Old
Farm Road.
•A weather event damage to the
home precluded that option, and
the Applicant has now proposed an alternative development concept.

Key Changes: 100 Old Farm Road

Barn Redevelopment Plan
•Details of the barn development plan have not changed substantially since discussed with the Board at preliminary plat.
•The applicant submitted a revised concept on 4/6/21 at Preliminary Plat and discussed it with the board at a subsequent hearing.
•The board supported the direction and proposal.
•The revised concept submitted for preliminary plat and the final plat proposal now submitted are substantially identical.

Barn Redevelopment Plan
•The barn structure itself has been placed on its own lot (49) with ownership to be maintained by the Applicant.
•Planned future uses for the barn are not yet known, but it could be redeveloped as an event space, a food hub, or many other quasi-public or private uses.
•The barn lot itself will be accessible by the public through an access agreement to be further defined in these permit proceedings.
Traffic Planning
•The staff notes state that the Applicant has received a benefit due to the recommendations of the Tilley Drive study. Specifically:
•In fact, there have not been any infrastructure improvements which have been reduced due to the conclusions or analysis of the Tilley Drive Study.
•The only assumption in our traffic study which depends IN PART on the conclusions of the Tilley Drive study is the 6% TDM trip end reduction.
•One such Tilley Drive study conclusion was to construct new roadway connections linking Hinesburg Road and Kimball Ave. The staff notes state that without those connections, the conclusions of our traffic study might change. This is not accurate.38
Traffic Planning
•Original Preliminary Plat submission on August 18,
2020, included a traffic study dated June 16, 2020.
•The proposed roadway modifications recommended
in this study were extensive and included modification
to the Kimball and Kennedy intersection to enlarge it.
•The roadway modifications also provided for right and
left turn lanes at the Mixed I/C and Old Farm Road
intersections and a potential traffic light at Williston
Road and Gregory Drive.
•After construction of these improvements, it was
concluded that the project could achieve a FULL BUILD
OUT, inclusive of 1890 PM Peak hour trips.39
Traffic Planning
•There is no improvement otherwise required to facilitate the 1307 trips requested in this final plat that is being omitted due to the implications of the Tilley Drive study.
•There is no reduction in trip ends contemplated (enabling more development with less traffic impacts) due to the conclusions of the Tilley Drive study.
•There is no specific credit or allowance provided for building components of the Tilley Drive study network.
•The removal of Tilley Drive Study elements from the Project will not impact trip generation calculations, intersection warrants, or other recommendations of the TIA.
•The Applicant reduced the requested number of trip ends to reduce the infrastructure required.
•The Applicant reduced the development potential being secured in this permit to remove infrastructure improvement elements the City did not want to see.
•The Applicant hopes that in time conditions change such that its remaining development may be permitted without the intersection expansions noted, but may in fact still propose those expansions at a later date as needed.
40
Traffic Planning
•Staff Report provided 2/17/21 suggested the Applicant meet with City to discuss the Tilley Drive study and how its conclusions might reduce the need for the infrastructure proposed.
•City did not want to see the intersection expansions and widening of Kimball Ave noted as necessary.
•Tilley Study conclusions and methods could help reduce the need for these improvements.
•Applicant’s consultant reviewed the study, the methodology, and the assumptions made.
•It was determined that the Project could not be fully built out without requiring the improvements originally proposed.
•In order to remove the expansion and widening improvements from the Project as requested by the City, Applicant REDUCED THE TRIPS BEING REQUESTED to 1307.
•Removal of 583 PM trips required only modest improvements currently proposed.
•This reduction (PARTIAL BUILD SCENARIO), enabled the project to proceed as currently contemplated, but does not solidify the Applicant’s right to build the entire development.
