Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency: Mr. Dorn provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Members agreed to add the following to Other Business: a. Discussion of the process for hiring a new Police Chief b. Discussion regarding the noise survey c. Discussion on how the Council might provide leadership in 2 areas 3. Possibly enter Executive Session to discuss legal and personnel matters to include appointments to South Burlington Boards, Committees and Commissions: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of a discussion and update with the City Manager on labor relations negotiations with employees and confidential attorney-client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to this Council would clearly place the City at a substantial disadvantage. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt then moved that the Council enter into executive session for the purpose of discussion labor relations agreements with employees, CBA update; confidential Attorney/Client communications; and the appointment, employment or evaluation of a public officer or employee and to invite the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and City Attorney into the session with the Council. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The Council entered executive session at 6:38 p.m. and resumed open session at 7:12 p.m. 4. Comments and Questions from the public not related to the agenda: No issues were raised. 5. Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended in recent weeks. Mr. Dorn: Acknowledged the assistance of Mr. Rabidoux, Ms. Blanchard and Ms. LaRose at the SBBA event. A date for a Council meeting with SBBA is still pending. Last week, Mr. Rabidoux led a tour of City Hall Park. A tremendous amount of work has been done there. Police Chief Whipple is at the White House for an award ceremony for a Medal of Valor recipient. The Chief serves on a national committee to select that recipient. 6. Councilors Reports from Committee Assignments: Mr. Chittenden invited members to channel any questions regarding Green Mountain Transit through him. Ms. Riehle asked about future plans for Tilley Drive and concern that the number of South Burlington trips does not equate with the amount the city pays to GMT. She noted that people now have to take a bus downtown for a transfer to the bus to Tilley Drive. She suggested that Mr. Chittenden bring back to the GMT Board that the city is looking for some “creativity,” and that the Medical Center needs to be a part of that conversation. 7. Public Hearing: Second Reading and possible adoption of amendments to the City’s Public Nuisance Ordinance: Ms. Emery moved to open the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Bolduc explained that the amendments clarify what constitutes a public nuisance. It also expands the hours when trash pick-up is a pubic nuisance from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., and exempts noise from a permitted use in an applicable zoning district of the city’s Land Development Regulations with certain criteria. Ms. Emery said she had thought the expanded hours were for everything, not only from trash collection. Mr. Bolduc said he didn’t recall the Council every wanted a blanket 7 a.m. Mr. Chittenden said the Council voted only to move the amendments forward to a public hearing. He also noted that trash haulers want 6 a.m. because of traffic issues and that Tom Moreau has suggested having that discussion along with a discussion of a single- hauler system. Mr. Myers said the one hour in the morning is huge to haulers. It gives them a 2+ hour advantage over traffic concerns. He expressed concern for the safety of his drivers being out twice a day in heavy traffic. They also have to be at the dumping site by 3:30 p.m., and the extra hour could jeopardize that as well. He felt the added hour could also add to costs as they would have to hire more people. He noted that it is rare that they get even 3 calls a year regarding noise. Mr. Cassella agreed with Mr. Myers and noted that in most cities trash is picked up at midnight. He didn’t feel that putting drivers at risk is good for the community or the drivers. The pickup process would take more time, put more trucks on the road, put more carbon emissions into the air, etc. Mr. Chittenden asked whether there is a form of consolidated service where there could be more efficiency. Mr. Barritt said he would like to have that discussion, but it is not on this agenda. Ms. Ostby noted that children are walking to school at 7 a.m., often when it is not fully light out, and having more trucks on the road could be a risk to the kids. There was no other public comment. Ms. Emery moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Emery suggested removing the trash collection from the 7 a.m. time frame but to leave the other noise sources at 7 a.m. Other members supported that change. Mr. Bolduc suggested 19 March for another hearing on the amendments. Ms. Emery moved to warn a public hearing for a second reading of amendments to the City’s Public Nuisance Ordinance for 19 March 2018, 7:30 p.m. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 8. Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursements b. Approve Minutes for 4, 16 and 24 January and 5 February 2018 c. Approve Negotiation and Execution of Park Signage Contract with Design Signs, Inc. d. Approve Stormwater Grant Application for Construction of Pinnacle at Spear Pond MO5 Retrofit: Ms. Emery noted the due date on the grant application had passed. Mr. Dorn said he assumed Mr. DiPietro had made arrangements so the application would be timely with the State. Ms. Emery moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 9. Presentation and discussion of FY17 Audit: Mr. Smith reported that the City improved its financial position in FY2017. He is still concerned that there be a 30-day reserve balance. That would amount to $1,800,000. The current reserve is half of that amount. The city’s financial security and bond rating depend on that reserve. He noted that the city does have healthy utility departments to borrow from in an emergency (such as happened 6 years ago). He stressed that they should stay away from the restricted fund for such borrowing. He also cited that funds from impact fees and other dedicated funding which eases the rush to get to the $1,800,000 figure quickly, but there is still the need to work toward that figure. Mr. Smith noted there are still some unfunded obligations including about $700,000 for retirement benefits (the amount left on the bond). He felt the growth in the pension will one day take care of that obligation. Mr. Smith also noted that when management letters were sent regarding a payroll issue, management responded very quickly to mitigate the concern. Mr. Smith then addressed the question of “complacency” with continuing to use the same auditors. He noted that GFOA has said that if a company has safety in place, using the same auditors is not an issue. Mr. Smith noted that his company rotates auditors every 2 years. He also stressed that municipal auditing is very specialized and that his firm does over 500 municipalities. He serves on the “Yellow Book” advisory committee and is to be the recipient of a national award this spring. This would be their 8th year of working for South Burlington, and he has served some of his clients for over 20 years. Ms. Emery noted that the city spends more than it takes in. Mr. Smith said this is a typical problem. Ms. Emery said she would like to see fine details on new initiatives such as mental health, dispatch, etc. Mr. Smith said they can add that information. Mr. Chittenden asked if there is much flexibility in property tax collection in other communities. Mr. Smith said he sees a lot of discount programs. He did not feel that now is the time for South Burlington to consider that; however, it should be a future goal. 10. Receive and discuss petition related to reopening of the South Burlington Dog Park located at J C Park: Residents presented a petition with 273 signatures to reopen the JC Park Dog Park. They said they heard no noise complaints when they canvassed the neighborhood. They could not understand what caused the closure. They felt that having the dog park there brings a closer community, but also recognized that a dog park “will not be the quietest place in town.” Ms. Riehle said there is a need for more than one dog park in the city. She noted that the Airport suddenly closed the dog park that had been on Airport property and the city tried to find a place quickly. She said she did not particularly favor the JC Park location, but it was land that the city controls and there was a need to move the fencing from the Airport location to a new location before winter. Ms. Emery said that JC Park was always intended to be a temporary site. Not all neighbors were satisfied with the location, and it evoked confrontations between neighbors. Mr. Chittenden said more dog parks are needed and suggested the focus now be on finding those locations that will work. He did not feel JC Park should have been closed before another site was identified. Ms. Riehle cited the need to come up with guidelines for dog parks including size, proximity to residences, etc. City-owned land could then be identified to see what would work. Ms. Young, who serves on the committee to come up with those guidelines said she could find not reference to JC Park being a “temporary” site. She stressed that they want JC Park reopened until a new site is identified. Mr. Chittenden said he was willing to make that motion, but he did not feel it would pass. One of the neighbors said that only person complained and that she lives next door to him and she never heard a lot of noise. Mr. Barritt said he drove to the park one Saturday morning and felt there was considerable noise from barking dogs. Ms. Emery said the Council made a mistake in putting a "non-essential" dog park in a location which caused rancor between neighboring residents.. A resident asked why the Airport threw the city out of the dog park located at the Airport. Ms. Riehle explained that the FAA has said that any land acquired with FAA money must be used only for airport-related activity, and the dog park did not fit that requirement. Mr. Dorn stressed that this is the second time the city has been thrown out of a dog park, first by UVM and then by the Airport. The city wants to cite a dog park on city-owned land so that cannot happen again. Council members urged the committee to come up with guidelines so the process of siting new dog parks can proceed. 11. Receive and discuss report related to current land use restrictions on the Wheeler Homestead and Park property: Mr. Rugh noted that the property is 98 acres, not including the 22 acres that were just added or the 25 acres to the northwest. The city’s practice since 1990 has been to use that land for recreation. Since then, practice has been to go to the voters if the city wanted to use the land for some other purpose than recreation (e.g., police station). Mr. Rugh said that aside from that practice, there are 14.4 acres east of the Homestead and south of Swift St. that have been set aside in perpetuity as mitigation for prime ag soils (tied into the 25 acres north of Oak Creek Village at Fox Run Lane). No buildings or structures can be on that land but with permission of the District Commission there could be rec paths or a picnic area. There can be no motor vehicles, no fill and no grading, and nothing that could negatively impact the use of that land for agriculture. Mr. Rugh also noted that the city just accepted a permit condition for 7 acres of offsite mitigation for the JAM Golf development just to the east of the 14.4 acres. There are now much stricter restrictions on that land and it can be used only for farming (under Act 250). It must be brush-hogged every 2 years, if the land remains fallow. Mr. Rugh said it appears there are 47 acres of prime agricultural soils remaining on the parcel. The 22 acre piece the city recently acquired has no legal restrictions. However, when the golf course development was built, the developer relied on those 22 acres as “open space” for the development. It would require mitigation if there were some uses proposed for that land. Ms. Emery asked if a blanket policy to keep the land in perpetuity desirable. Mr. Rugh said that depends on whether you are a conservationist or a developer. Mr. Bolduc noted there are other land characteristics that might inhibit development. Mr. Rugh cited wetlands which, if they are Class 2, would be hard to develop, and if they are Class 3, would require mitigation. Ms. Riehle suggested an executive session to get some more legal advice. Mr. Rugh noted there are some restrictions that might preclude putting some of that property into a conservation easement. 12. Briefing and discussion regarding CCRPC ECOS Plan: Mr. Shaw, the City’s representative to CCRPC, noted a public hearing tomorrow on the ECOS plan (the regional plan for the county) at 6 p.m. in Winooski. The plan is on the website. A second public hearing will be held on 16 May with 20 June set for adoption of the plan. Mr. Baker reviewed the top 10 Actions for the 5-year duration of the new plan as follows: a. Support multi-modal development b. Invest in the transportation system c. c. support housing development d. Assist municipalities with enhanced energy planning e. Implement the Lake Champlain TMDL program to help clean up the Lake f. Emergency management (regional dispatch) g. Support population health h. Monitor advancement of autonomous vehicles i. Coordinate with municipalities on ECOS Annual Report j. Support workforce development Mr. Baker noted the plan is largely the same as the 2113 plan with updates and some reorganization. They have also updated the Metropolitan Transit Plan (MTP) and the Community Economic Development Strategy, which are now part of the ECOS package. There is a new Enhanced Energy package which includes homes using less energy and having growth go into areas planned for growth (near services) to reduce traffic and energy needs. Mr. Baker noted the State mandate that 90% of energy be from renewable sources by 2050. This means that 90% of cars would need to be electric by that date. Mr. Baker felt this was not realistic if gas prices continue to be cheaper than renewable sources of energy. Regarding traffic, Mr. Shaw noted the number of people living outside Chittenden County and commuting into Chittenden County has increased. In addition, the number of people over age 60 has increased while the number of people in the “young family” age range has not. Thirteen percent of Vermonters age 20-24 are unemployed and looking for work compared to the rest of the population. Seven percent for Vermonters are “underemployed.” Forty percent of high school graduates do not go on to further education. Ms. Emery felt it would make more sense to have a regional bike path system. Mr. Baker said they try to look at where there are gaps, but government structure in Vermont relies on communities to make those decisions. He noted that 70% of funding goes to maintaining the transportation system. Mr. Chittenden felt they need to look at license plates to determine assessment for tolls. Mr. Baker noted the potential for Interstate/interchange improvement but added this would take a long time. It is very much a South Burlington issue. Ms. Emery expressed the need to bring families back to the city. She noted how hard it is to find family housing. Mr. Baker said that it was also a consequence of lack of employment opportunities that provide for promotions, which was a state‐wide problem, not only South Burlington’s. Ms. Riehle said South Burlington is a “pass‐through” community, and the city is left with having to keep roads maintained without financial recognition by the State. 13. New Cingular Wireless Request for a License Agreement for “Small Cell” Wireless Installations on City Land: Mr. Bolduc said the agreement would be for 10 years with an automatic renewal. The city would receive $250 a year rent for each location. Mr. Dodge then explained that they are looking at 3 sites in the city: the light pole near the Fire Station, a pole near the Vitamin Shoppe, and a pole at 400 Dorset Street. He explained the different types of cell sites. These would be basically small sites that would cover a radius of about 150 feet and would take a signal from a macro site and boost it. Mr. Dodge showed photographs of what the installations would look like. There would be no ground disturbance. He also explained the legal process and the need for an agreement to use a municipal pole. There would be no change to the poles. Mr. Dodge said these installations will improve things on Dorset Street. They are also working on some sites with Green Mountain Power poles. The installations will deal with the period when a lot of people are using their phones at the same time. Mr. Barritt suggested painting the equipment the same color as the pole. Mr. Dodge said that can be discussed. Mr. Dorn asked if it is anticipated there could be more city poles involved. Mr. Dodge said the agreement says there could be more. Mr. Dodge added that they will post a $5000 bond and they will do all the “make ready” work and provide insurance and indemnification to the city. Mr. Chittenden moved that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and enter into a license agreement or agreements with New Cingular Wireless at the proposed three locations in and owned by the City. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 14. Discussion and possible action related to Council appointments to South Burlington Boards, Committees and Commissions: Ms. Emery moved to make the following appointments: Ian Squirrell ………………….. Housing Trust Fund Committee Daniel Seff ……………………. City Charter Committee Brian Sullivan ………………. Development Review Board Jonathan Pence …………… Parks Committee Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 15. January Financials: Mr. Hubbard reported that 58% through the year, expenses are at 56% of budget and revenues are at 53%. Most operating transfers and vehicle purchases have been made. Due to the weather, they are well into the salt budget and overtime budgets. All bond payments have been made. Building and sign permits are where they should be, and fire inspections are already higher than last year. 16. Acknowledge receipt from the Planning Commission of draft amendment to the Land Development Regulations and accompanying Report. Consider warning public hearing on draft amendments to the Land Development Regulations: Ms. Ostby explained an issue that came up in the Planning Commission public hearing regarding 8-foot vs. 5-foot setbacks in the Form Based Code area. The Planning Commission was split on the issue and agreed to let the Council hear both sides. Mr. Barritt moved to warn a public hearing on draft amendments to the Land Development Regulations for 19 March, 8 p.m. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 17. Other Business: a. a. Ms. Emery noted that the son of a couple she knows contacted her and sent her application information for the Police Chief position in South Burlington, unsure about his eligibility. The ad for the position requires that applicants be Vermont police officers with Level 3 certification. She asked why Mr. Dorn had limited the pool to Vermont police officers.. She felt it is important to have the hiring of a police chief to be a public process and the public should be invited to indicate the qualities they would want to have in their new police chief. She noted that she did not want the city to turn away anyone who was qualified. Mr. Dorn said they are requiring a pool of Vermonters that are already certified to be a police chief in the State. Because of the available pool of such officers, it was not felt that there is a need to go outside the state. He stressed that you cannot serve as a police chief in Vermont without Level 3 certification. Mr. Dorn also stressed that the police chief works for him, and under the City Charter it is his job to hire that person. He will not delegate that responsibility. Ms. Emery said she was concerned with “transparency” and felt the public has to be involved. Mr. Dorn expressed willingness to discuss in executive session the qualities he is looking for in a new police chief. He stressed that this is an elite position in the state and there are highly qualified candidates in the state. Members agreed to hold their reorganization meeting on 7 March at 6:30 with an executive session to follow at which time Mr. Dorn will discuss the qualifications for the police chief position. b. Ms. Riehle said that she and Ms. Emery have been working with Mr. Conner on a survey of what people want in the way of noise abatement. There is a question as to whether teachers/school personnel should also be involved in the survey. Mr. Chittenden cited the need to be sure respondents are actually residents of the Chamberlin area. Mr. Barritt suggested a code system to get that assurance. Mr. Dorn will contact a survey group to see what they recommend. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 p.m. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works.

MEMBERS PRESENT – H. Riehle, Chair; M. Emery, P. Nowak, T. Barritt ALSO PRESENT – K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; D. Kinville, City Clerk; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; J. Rabidoux, Director of Public Works, J. Murray, Librarian; H. Reed, Recreation Department; I. Blanchard, Project Manager; Chief T. Whipple, Police Department; Chief D. Brent, Fire Department; B. Britt, B. Nowak Ms. Riehle noted that due to the inclement weather, the public is being offered the opportunity to phone in any comments they may have. 1. Budget Overview: Mr. Hubbard noted that in October the Council had said they would be comfortable with a tax rate increase of about 3%. The budget being presented tonight results in a 3.44% tax increase. It keeps the current level of service, meets all contractual obligations, supports “other entities,” and continues to support the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Positive revenue factors include: a ¾% increase in the grand list (about $221,000), use of grant monies and impact fees, and allocations from approved bonding. Negative revenue factors include a decrease in fire inspections revenues of $85,000 and electrical inspection revenues of $25,000, a decrease in Police Department impact fees of $15,000, and other non-discretionary items. The increase in public safety salaries (per contract) is $166,000. The increase in non-public safety salaries (per contract) is $70,000. There is a 12% increase in health insurance, and a $290,000 pension contribution increase. Mr. Hubbard noted that the Council had increased the level of payout for someone leaving the city (for unused benefits) from $10,000 to $25,000. Mr. Hubbard then reviewed some of the items that were cut or decreased from the originally proposed department budgets, including: proposed new positions, level funding of the sick bank, proposed stabilization fund contribution, stewardship (above level funding), paving, CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 2 Police Department one vehicle, designated and undesignated reserves (reduced), and Social Services (reduced). The estimated cost to taxpayers with a 3.44% tax increase would be: Single-family home valued at $366,000 - $57.14 Condo valued at $231,000 - $39.33 Mr. Hubbard noted this was one of the toughest budgets to put together and there is a concern from managers for the future of their departments. Although the current level of service will be maintained in the short run, this is not sustainable. Without significant changes in education funding, there will be serious concerns for municipal funding. The City is about to go into negotiations with all three bargaining units. Mr. Hubbard also noted that auditor Ron Smith will present the audit in February. Members will have the audit by the end of January. Ms. Riehle asked the City Manager to share what is known about the School District budget. Mr. Dorn said the Governor is projecting an 8% increase; however, the currently proposed South Burlington school budget shows a .68% increase and a tax rate increase of 1.74%. There is also an anticipated bond issue of $950,000 for facilities stewardship. The low increase is attributed to less than 1% increased spending and an increase in the equalized student populations, including tuition students. Representatives from City departments then presented their proposed budgets as follows: a. Community Library: Mr. Hubbard noted a $2400 reduction in computer funding. He also noted that the move to the new location was basically ‘a wash.” The proposed budget will allow the Library to do what it has done in the past. The hope is to have a new Children’s Librarian on board soon. b. Public Works: CITY COUNCIL BUDGET 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 3 Mr. Rabidoux said in preparing the budget they tried to trend based on the experience of the past 3 years. He noted that the budget being presented is $75,000 less than the manager- approved budget. The Department is forestalling purchase of a frontline plow. They will not trade in the existing vehicle. The hope is that it will be able to do the work. This will save about $25,000. The Department has also identified another brand of sidewalk plow at a much lower price. It will do about 80-85% of what the more expensive plow will do. This saves about $50,000. Mr. Rabidoux cited the increasing problem in checking the “yes” box on Act 250 permit paperwork to indicate that the department can provide adequate services. He added that the budget message this year is that they will not be able to keep people happy if this continues over the next few years. Mr. Rabidoux noted that one of the positions eliminated was the Bike/Ped Coordinator. He said there is a groundswell in the community to add more bike/ped paths. They will not be able to meet this. Mr. Rabidoux said he would like to increase line-striping and bike lanes as a safety issue. Mr. Britt asked what percentage of the budget is personnel related. Mr. Rabidoux estimated 35-40%. Ms. Nowak asked about the use of impact fees. Mr. Rabidoux said they can be used for some vehicles. He suggested the possibility of a “public service impact fee.” Ms. Emery felt the reduction in the striping and paving budget was also a safety concern. Mr. Barritt suggested the possibility of not doing as much sidewalk plowing in the less urban areas where children don’t walk to school. Ms. Riehle noted that in some communities the sidewalks are the homeowners’ responsibility. She suggested possibly having that discussion this year. Mr. Dorn suggested a 3-month process for those discussions that would include “political factors. He indicated that staff has been notified of that pending process. He stressed that the sustainability issue is primary in this regard. CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 4 Mr. Rabidoux then noted that increases in the enterprise funds would be covered by rate increases. He specifically noted an installation to allow for adequate water pressure in the Southeast Quadrant. The cost for this will be offset with a tiered impact fee for developments. Mr. Rabidoux explained that the Department is getting additional revenues by providing services to other communities (e.g., Shelburne). He also explained the “pass-through” procedure for grant monies. Mr. Britt cited the importance of adding additional money for road striping. c. City Clerk: Ms. Kinville noted the City Clerk’s budget is oriented to service/supplies and is pretty much the same from year to year. The projection for revenues is down somewhat due to fewer late fees. Ms. Kinville advised that city clerks are looking to restructure recording fees to cover actual costs and to recapture more up front. This will be done legislatively. With regard to expenses, Ms. Kinville noted the additional expense because there will be at least 3 elections this year. d. Recreation: Ms. Reed said they are working with the School District to provide some of the elements in the schools’ summer camp programs. The Youth Sport Program is healthy and strong, but they are struggling with the adult programs due to a lack of indoor space. Ms. Reed cited the “super successful” Bikes and Bites events and the City Fest. She said that this year, revenues and expenses will equal out. They are hoping for full sponsorship of Bikes and Bites. If that does not happen, the events will be pared down. Red Rocks Park will be open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There will now be ADA equipped port-o-lets in every city park (quite expensive). CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 5 Ms. Reed noted that they are trying to serve the Odell population which struggles during the summer months. They had hoped to bring a 6-week recreation/nutrition program to that site, but this budget does not include that. Mr. Barritt cited the lack of recreation space at Odell and noted that the DRB is more sensitive to that in new developments. Ms. Emery asked about programs for children who don’t go to the “School’s Out” programs. Ms. Reed said there are still specialty half-day and full-day programs (e.g., Wheeler Park), and they anticipate having 25-30 of these. One issue with indoor programs is that the only structure they can use is the Middle School. There is also a transportation issue of getting children to the camps. Mr. Barritt cited the room for growth in Adult Education and asked if the Recreation Department has resources for this. Ms. Reed said the issue is the lack of facilities. Mr. Barritt suggested approaching the business community for spaces. e. Human Resources: Mr. Hubbard briefly reviewed the increases including health insurance and pension. f. IT Mr. Hubbard cited the great job Al Reed did in getting the Library IT up and running at the UMall location. The budget shows a slight increase in hardware and software even though they will be replacing only half of the machines Mr. Reed would like to replace. They are behind in the 5- year replacement cycle. In addition, software contracts continue to go up in cost. Mr. Barritt stressed that everything depends on IT. g. Planning and Zoning: Mr. Conner offered kudos to Al Reed for what the new computers can do. Mr. Conner noted that the $25,000 budget under special projects is matched by revenues. He also cited the income from the landfill solar project that will improve the energy footprint. The CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 6 city will be able to work with partners to measure success of sustainable efforts and public outreach. Items that were cut from the originally proposed budget include: bike/ped project engineering, scanning of documents for DRB files ($40,000-45,000 range), transition to digital work-flow program ($60,000). They are looking for alternate funding. Ms. Emery asked where they stand regarding permitting fees. Mr. Conner said the city is right in the middle. h. Police Department: Chief Whipple that fleet replacement has been reduced by one car. This will be concern over time. In addition, a civilian staff person to help with building functions is not in the budget. There are no new sworn officers. The Chief noted that only 18% of the budget is “stuff” as opposed to personnel/benefits, so there is little room for cutting. There is, however, an increase in vehicle maintenance as the fleet is getting older and in need of more repairs. He, too noted this is not sustainable over time. Ms. Emery asked if there is still an unfilled position. The Chief said there are 4 (they are in the budget), but one will be filled next week with a new officer coming on board. The Chief thanked staff for keeping those open positions in the budget. He also advised that they have a donation for a new “canine officer” and are searching for a “candidate.” The Chief cited the need to “sell” the public on joining the Police Force. i. Fire/Ambulance: Chief Brent said he is not troubled by what he pays in taxes. He felt the public gets a “heck of a bargain” with the great city staff. The Department is now averaging 13 responses a day, and multiple/consecutive calls are troublesome. He noted that on Monday he will be up to full staff. The Chief then cited what they will not be able to fund with the proposed budget, including: CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 7 Vaccinations for job applicants, air packs (though they will have to find money to pay for this as it is required by law), and the second half of the winter jacket replacement. He, too, voiced the inability to sustain services without replacements and upkeep. He cited the need to review the CIP regarding replacement schedules. Ms. Nowak asked if the overtime projection is realistic. The Chief felt that with a full staff it is. Ms. Nowak asked if Narcan is still provided by the State. The Chief said it is. j. Finance: Mr. Hubbard said the budget is almost identical to last year. This is the third year of the Auditor’s contract. Options include rebidding for one or two additional years or going out to bid for a new contract. The last time the contract was bid, there were two bids submitted, and Smith was half the cost of the other bidder. k. Community Development: Ms. Blanchard said the budget focuses mainly on special projects. It oversees grants/grant applications. She cited partnering with businesses. She also noted there are reserve fund for the city’s share of City Center projects. The budget also supports project “soft costs” needed to get the projects up and running. This allows the city to look ahead to projects without having to borrow money. Ms. Blanchard noted that the proposed contribution to the City Center reserve fund was decreased by $110,000 for this budget. Mr. Dorn noted that will have an impact on projects. Ms. Riehle was disappointed with this budget decrease. Ms. Blanchard said in the future they would like to begin a program of public art. 2. Possible Adoption of the FY19 City Budget: Ms. Emery said she didn’t think it was reasonable to go to a 3% tax increase now that the School District is coming in at such a low level. She suggested the following additions to the proposed budget: CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 8 A. IT hardware -- $6,000 B. Police Cruiser -- $35,000 C. Road striping -- $10,000 D. Paving -- $25,000 E. Fire Department Air Packs and Winter Jackets -- $2500 and $4000 F. TIF Reserve Fund -- restore the $110,000 She hoped these increases would come in with a tax increase under 3.85%. Ms. Nowak said she did not dispute Ms. Emery’s contention, but she noted that the School District is also going for a $950,000 bond issue. The City also does not know what the result of bargaining for the 3 contracts will result in. In addition, Ms. Nowak stressed the need to concentrate on increasing the Grand List. She cited the number of households with no children and with fixed incomes. Ms. Emery said the Council has been sensitive to budgets for a number of years, and she felt the public expects the maintenance of services. Mr. Barritt cited specific paving issues (including South Village intersection). He also noted that although the economy is doing well, employees are not getting wage increases. He also stressed that the low school budget is still only a draft. Ms. Riehle cited the minimal costs for the air packs and coats and said she was very uncomfortable with how little reserve funding the city has. She suggested funding a half person to help with increasing the Grand List. Ms. Nowak felt the public needs to know that the city is doing more than just raising taxes and is looking for resources/revenues from other sources. Mr. Dorn said there is also a need to be mindful of new services needed in City Center for which there will not be tax money for 20 years. There will, however, be local option tax money from some of that development. Ms. Nowak asked about issues at UMall and the value of that property for tax purposes. Mr. Dorn said the city did not suffer from that decrease in value. Mr. Hubbard said a quick calculation shows a 5.01% tax increase from all the Ms. Emery has proposed. Ms. Emery said that is not do-able. CITY COUNCIL BUDGET MEETING 4 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 9 Members agreed to delay approval of a budget until the 16 January meeting. Ms. Riehle will attend that meeting via phone. She asked that staff provide figures for the results of adding the $110,000 back to the City Center Reserve Fund and $21,000 to the undesignated reserve. Staff will provide figures on what budget additions would mean to the average taxpayers. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Barritt moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 9:52 p.m. ______________________________ Clerk CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 The South Burlington City Council held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 16 January 2018, at 6:30 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: H. Riehle (via telephone), Chair; P. Nowak, M. Emery (acting Chair), T. Barritt, T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; A. Bolduc, City Attorney; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; Chief D. Brent, Fire Department; J. Rabidoux, Public Works Director; M. Leugers, Recreation Director; I.

Britt 1. Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency: Mr. Dorn provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Members removed item 7D from the Consent Agenda and added it as a discussion item following the Recognition of Retiring Staff. They also added to Other Business a follow-up to the Wheeler Park presentation, a request to meet with SBBA, a brief discussion on rental registries, and a potential non-binding referendum for the March ballot to increase the smoking age to 21. 3. Recognizing Retiring Staff: The Council recognized Darla Champine who retired as Administrative Assistant in the Recreation Department and Karen Plantier who retired as Administrative Assistant to the Department of Public Works. Ms. Emery read City Council Resolutions honoring the service of both retirees. 3a. Necessity Resolution for Borrowing – Bartlett Bay Wastewater Facility System: Mr. Rabidoux explained that this will be a ballot item for the March ballot for a bond of $2,980,000. of which the city is responsible for $2,100,000. This will be a no-interest loan that will result in less in payment than the city has been paying to the City of Burlington for that sewer. Mr. Rabidoux said it will be “cash positive” in year one. The loans repayment is 10 years, but the sewer will have a life cycle of up to 75+ years. The money to repay the loan will come from sewer rates. Mr. Rabidoux stressed that this project is only to disconnect the sewer from Burlington and relocate it to the Bartlett Bay System. It is not to be confused with any upgrade to the Bartlett Bay Plant. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 2 Ms. Nowak asked if this is the only piece of the system that has been served by another community. Mr. Rabidoux said it is. Ms. Emery read the Resolution. Mr. Chittenden then moved to approve the Resolution for Borrowing as presented. Ms. Nowak seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Comments and Questions from the public not related to the agenda: No issues were raised. 5. Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended in recent weeks. Mr. Dorn: Rep. Townsend has introduced 2 bills in the Legislature regarding Airport governance, one to conduct a study regarding governance and the second to give the South Burlington City Council final say over provisions of the noise compatibility study. Talks have begun with staff regarding sustainability projects to occur in future months. 6. Consent Agenda: a. Approve and Sign Disbursement b. Approve Minutes for 18 December 2017 and 2 January 2018 c. Formal Acceptance of easements for Market Street ROW Project – LBCMT 2007-C3 Dorset Street, LLC, Dorset Street Investment Group, LLC, Dorset Square Associates; Century Partners, LP, Rich Burlington Hotel, LLC, Poon Trust, LLC; South Burlington City Center, LLC; Chastenay Estates, Inc.; Blackbay Ventures VIII, LLC Ms. Nowak moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Councilors’ Reports from Committee Assignments: Mr. Chittenden reported that CCTA is beginning the review of its General Manager. They are also looking at potential fare changes and are investigating a “fare-free” option. There are 8 new buses, and 4 electric buses are being purchased. Mr. Chittenden said he would look into what becomes of the old buses. Mr. Chittenden noted the need for an alternate representative. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 3 8. Presentation from SEI for the South Burlington Retirement Income Plan: Mr. Blizzard explained SEI’s role as fund manager and noted that the company has just received a national award for fund management. The now have $93,000,000,000.00 under management. Mr. Burke then directed attention to the market and performance review. He noted that equities and other risky assets performed well and that growth in world gross domestic product ticked higher during the first three quarters of 2017. The expectation is for a more volatile market in 2018. SEI will continue to look at the city’s portfolio; for now, they are comfortable with where it stands. Ms. Nowak asked if they feel that everything has been considered. Mr. Burke said their expectation is that there will be 3 to 4 interest hikes in 2018. They also have a lot of clarity regarding taxes. A potential “upside” would bring cash back to the U.S. with possible shareholder benefits. Mr. Barritt felt the big question mark is the geopolitical atmosphere. Mr. Burke said there was more potential for disruption earlier on, and they don’t want to make major changes to the portfolio because of that potential. Ms. Emery asked about a potential “bubble.” Mr. Burke said the fundamental backdrop is still in tact and that until they see deterioration in the fundamental picture, they are hesitant to make major changes. Ms. Emery asked what would trigger a change. Mr. Burke said it would involve deterioration in the labor market and/or inflationary pressures. He added that there is a 5% allocation to protect the portfolio or to allow it to benefit from some inflation. He stressed that they have the right tool set-up but that they are ready to make changes should the market change. Mr. Blizzard added that if such changes were needed, they would come and make recommendations. Mr. Barritt asked if SEI saw any regulation irregularities that could be problematic. Mr. Burke said that they would look for that, specifically at how much speculation/leverage there is in the system. Todays those factors are low and growth is healthy. Mr. Blizzard directed attention to p. 14 of the report and also noted that January 2018 has been a good month so far. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 4 9. Public Hearing on South Burlington application for a Vermont Community Development Program grant related to a proposed housing development sponsored by Champlain Housing Trust and possible approval of a Resolution for VCDP Grant Application Authority: Mr. Dorn noted that the City of South Burlington would become an actual applicant for the grant. Mr. Barritt then moved to open the public hearing. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Public comment was solicited. There was no public comment. Ms. Demetrowitz then described the proposed development. There would be 60 affordable units in City Center in a “turnkey” model. Snyder-Braverman would get the permits and Champlain Housing Trust will purchase the building when it is complete. This model has worked well in the past. There will be a mix of one to four bedroom apartments targeting a wide range of incomes. Nine of the apartments would be for those facing homelessness. Mr. Braverman said the building will be on the northeast corner of Market Street at Garden Street in the T4 Form Based Code district. It will be 4 stories. The grant application is for $625,000 against a $17,000,000 project. There are additional sources of funding including a bonding source. Ms. Demetrowitz said Champlain Housing Trust will take on the administrative burden and will write the application and handle all the monitoring and reporting. The City gets the grant and Champlain Housing asks for it as a 0% 30- year loan. Even after the project is built, the City will receive an annual audit from Champlain Housing. Mr. Braverman described the building as having a first floor comprised of steel and wood with the 3 stories above it largely of brick. Everything meets the Form Based Code requirements. Elevations will be available soon. Mr. Barritt asked that the building look “interesting” and not like what is being built everywhere else. Ms. Riehle seconded that request. Mr. Barritt then moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 5 Mr. Chittenden moved to approve the Resolution for VCDP Grant Application Authority as presented. Ms. Nowak seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 10. Overview of SoBu Spaces 2020: Engage, Create, Build, Gather in a Library/City Hall on Market Street: Ms. Emery noted that the first visioning meeting will be on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. Ms. Blanchard then reviewed the history and noted the project will be looking at options for a Library/City Hall. Following the visioning sessions, the architect will put together a purpose/need statement along with a few viable options as to how the site could be used. There will then be a “one concept recommendation” workshop in March followed by a presentation of the recommended option to the City Council on 2 April. Once the City Council selects a concept, the project will move forward to a public vote in November. Ms. Blanchard said a contractor will be selected through a competitive process. It is estimated that construction will take just under a year followed by a few months for “move in.” A website has been set up with an opportunity to engage the public and to get feedback. Social media is also being used. Ms. Blanchard asked the Council to reach out to organizations and to extend personal invitations for participation. Ms. Blanchard noted that the focus of Thursday’s visioning session will be “what we love about today’s Library and City Hall that should be in a new building” and also “what we love about South Burlington.” 11. Consider Amendments to City’s Nuisance Ordinance and First Reading: Mr. Bolduc said there are two potential amendments recommended by the Police Chief which would better align the Nuisance Ordinance with the Land Development Regulations: a. The Administrative Officer would have the authority to issue tickets for violations (Mr. Bolduc read that language) b. Language was expanded to include noise plainly audible from dogs and cats between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 6 In both amendments, the language is more understandable from an enforcement point of view. It is similar to language used by other communities. Mr. Barritt recalled issues raised at the DRB. He also felt that trash trucks should not be allowed in a residential neighborhood before 7 a.m., not the current 6 a.m. Mr. Chittenden agreed and noted public complaints to that effect. He added that he would like to hear from haulers about this. Mr. Bolduc said that amendment could be added at the public hearing during the second reading. It was suggested that this issue might be worthy of Planning Commission attention, specifically with regard to buffers. Ms. Riehle noted that in the second amendment, there is an exemption provided there is conformance to performance standards for the districts. She asked if such standards exist for all districts. Mr. Bolduc said they do not, but it is the Planning Commission’s intention to have those standards for the Industrial-Commercial District where they do not currently exist. Mr. Barritt suggested consideration of vehicles with modified exhaust systems which are just as disruptive as loud radios. Members agreed to add 7 a.m. requirement for trash pick-up. Mr. Barritt moved to warn a public hearing for the second reading of amendments to the Nuisance Ordinance for 20 February 2018 at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Nowak seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 12. Consider and Possibly Approve draft FY2019 Municipal Budget and Approve Placing it on the Ballot for the 2018 City of South Burlington Annual Meeting: Mr. Hubbard distributed information with a variety of scenarios based on comments at the 4 January meeting. He noted that the School District has not approved a budget at this time. Ms. Emery said the items that are of the most concern are paving, road striping, Fire Department Airpack maintenance and winter coats, the undesignated reserve, IT hardware, a Police cruiser, and restoring funding to the City Center reserve fund. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 7 Ms. Nowak said she didn’t like to see taxes go up beyond the Council’s initial hope; however, there has to be enough funding to run the city, and costs are rising dramatically. She was particularly concerned with not fully funding the City Center Reserve Fund. She felt that restoring the undesignated reserve ($21,000) and restoring full funding to the City Center Reserve Fund ($110,000) would keep a reasonable tax rate. She also stressed the need to look at the Grand List and to bringing in more revenue that will stay in the “city’s pockets.” Mr. Chittenden agreed with the commitment to the City Center Reserve Fund but wasn’t sure the full $860,000 was needed. Mr. Hubbard said he was comfortable with $750,000 for one year and that he was more concerned with some of the other items. Mr. Dorn agreed and said it is time to revaluate expectations for City Center. Ms. Riehle supported as an absolute adding back the $21,000 to the undesignated reserve fund. Ms. Nowak agreed. Ms. Emery agreed but also wanted to add paving, road striping, Airpack maintenance and winter coats, and IT hardware. Ms. Riehle said she would support that. Mr. Barritt suggested keeping the $10,000 for road striping, adding $10,000 to paving and $10,000 to the undesignated reserve. This would result in a 3.64% increase. Mr. Chittenden advocated for the full $25,000 for paving. Ms. Emery suggested scenario #3 without funding for IT. This would keep the undesignated reserve whole. Mr. Hubbard said that would result in a 3.86% increase. Eliminating the winter coats would reduce that to 3.82%. Ms. Frank was concerned with IT security if that increase is eliminated. Ms. Emery explained that the IT funding was for new computers as part of the replacement process. Ms. Leban noted the $125,000 deficit in the amount of fire and electrical inspections and questioned whether the City can afford full-time inspectors. She suggested contracting the work out. Mr. Dorn said the city gets far better service than if it waited for the State to do inspections. The return on the investment is very positive. There would also be an issue with contracting out for a service that fall under bargaining unit work. Ms. Nowak suggested making the services of the inspectors available to other communities on a fee basis. She also noted that the 2 inspectors are bringing in far more money than the city had envisioned. Mr. Dorn noted that the electrical inspector is fully booked. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 8 Ms. Riehle then moved to restore $25,000 to paving, $10,000 to road striping, $2,500 to Fire Department Airpacks, and $21,000 to the undesignated reserve fund, for a total restoration of $58,500 and a tax rate of 3.84%. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Mr. Barritt said he could not support that much of a tax increase. Ms. Emery felt they have to cover basic responsibilities and covering paving and striping shows the public where their tax money goes. In the vote that followed, the motion passed 4-1 with Mr. Barritt voted against. 13. Consider Approval of Warning for 2018 Annual City Meeting: Mr. Bolduc distributed the warning with the revised budget numbers added in. There are 4 items on the Warning: election of City office4rs, approval of the city budget of $15,272,174., bonded debt for improvement to the Bartlett Bay Wastewater Treatment Facility System, and Chittenden County Public Safety Authority (for regional dispatch). Ms. Riehle moved to approve the Warning for the 2018 Annual City Meeting as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 14. Consider Approval of Application to Vermont Downtown Board to Expand the City’s Neighborhood Development Area Designation: Mr. Conner explained there are 2 tiers for the Neighborhood Development designation. Tier 1 is a baseline to support communities without a downtown. Tier 2 creates a Neighborhood Development Area which exempts certain projects from Act 250 review. Projects must meet an affordability standard. Mr. Conner then showed a map of what areas will be added. The parcel is adjacent to Dumont Park and is not developed. He indicated the location of the rec path and a planned path connection which will go to San Remo Drive. Ms. Emery expressed concern with noise buffering. Mr. Conner noted the commercial use already exists, so someone moving in would be aware of the noise potential. Ms. Emery asked what can be done to get noise buffering. Mr. Conner said the Council can ask the Planning Commission to take this up or can suggest a joint meeting with the Commission to discuss it. CITY COUNCIL 16 JANUARY 2018 PAGE 9 Mr. Barritt moved to approve the Application to the Vermont Downtown Board to expand the City’s Neighborhood Development Area designation as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 15. Other Business: a. Items Held from Consent Agenda No items were held from the Consent Agenda. b. Other: Mr. Dorn said the SBBA is very happy to meet with the City Council regarding support for local business growth. He suggested sometime in late February, possibly a special meeting. Members agreed to a special meeting. Regarding a mailing to new homeowners, Mr. Dorn noted that staff has begun to draft a letter which would include the tax payment requirement. The letter would go out with SoBu Life. Mr. Dorn asked members when they wanted to consider the Wheeler Nature Park presentation. He cited the need to understand existing restrictions which may be adequate. Members agreed to have further discussions. Mr. Barritt suggested a possible non-binding ballot item to increase the smoking age to 21. He noted that the City of Burlington is doing this. There is survey data that the younger population smoking rate is higher than that of the older population. Mr. Hubbard suggested bringing this up at the Steering Committee meeting and also suggested the August or November ballot. Ms. Nowak noted that the State is interested in a state-wide rental registry. Burlington is currently the only community that has such a registry. Ms. Nowak added she would like this to be something the city controls rather than something the state controls that doesn’t apply to South Burlington. Mr. Barritt said the minimum should be for Fire Inspections. Mr. Dorn noted the Fire Department already monitors new rentals on Craig’s List. Ms. Emery suggested asking the Affordable Housing Committee about this. Mr. Dorn noted that Justin Rabidoux is willing to discuss this with the Council. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Ms. Riehle moved to adjourn. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 10:16 p.m. ________________________________Clerk SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL 24 JANUARY 2018 The South Burlington City Council held a regular meeting on Wednesday, 24 January 2018, at 6:45 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair (via phone); M. Emery, T. Barritt, Acting Chair; T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager 1. Approve Disbursements: Mr. Chittenden moved to approve the disbursements as sent via email from Tom Hubbard. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 2. Approve revised language for the FY19 Budget for the official ballot article to include the addition of special funds and enterprise funds, not impacting the General Fund Budget: Mr. Dorn explained that the only difference from the wording previously approved by the Council is that the aggregate number changes to $53,392,056.00 because it picks up the enterprise funds. It does not affect the General Fund or the tax rate. Mr. Chittenden moved to approve the revised language for the FY19 Budget for the official ballot article as presented. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. ________________________________ Clerk CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 The South Burlington City Council held a regular meeting on Monday, 5 February 2018, at 6:30 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair; P. Nowak (via phone), M. Emery, T. Barritt, T. Chittenden Also Present: K. Dorn, City Manager; A. Bolduc, City Attorney; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; Chief D. Brent and Deputy Chief T. Francis, Fire Department; J. Rabidoux, Public Works Director; I. Blanchard, Project Manager; B. Sullivan, I. Squirrell, G. Maille, C. Sargent, J. Pence, D. Seff, T. McKenzie 1. Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency: Mr. Dorn provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Mr. Dorn asked to add two items to Other Business: an update on the proposed letter to new homeowners and an opportunity to name a park. 3. Comments and Questions from the public not related to the agenda: No issues were raised. 4. Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended in recent weeks. During her report, Ms. Emery raised the issue of the costs for ground-water testing and suggested the city consider ordinances with that in mind. During Ms. Riehle’s report, she drew attention to photos indicating the now designated parking area for taxis that cannot be in the “queue.” She also advised that in a meeting with Mayor Weinberger, he apologized for the delay in responding to South Burlington’s MOU. The Mayor suggested having the City Councils of Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski meet to find a way to give Winooski and South Burlington the ability to comment on and influence any applications to the FAA prior to application submittal. Mr. Dorn: Advised that Police Chief Whipple has announced his planned retirement in January, 2019. SBBA will hold its quarterly meeting at South Burlington City hall on 20 February, 7:30 a.m., to hear updates on City Center. SBBA is also willing to meet with the City Council at one of the Council’s March meetings. The Community Outreach Program is getting a lot of press. The Howard Center has hired 3 of the 4 Councilors who will be deploying with the Police Department. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 2 He and Ms. Riehle met with people at the Medical Center to hear long-range plans for Tilley Park. The Med Center is looking to have just one building for outpatient services. They made it clear that they like having buildings and workers in South Burlington. They also agree that it is important to have more conversations with Green Mountain Transit regarding service to medical buildings. Mr. Barritt asked if the change in status of Med Center buildings has tax implications. Mr. Dorn said it shifts to a “payment in lieu of taxes” situation instead of property tax payments when the Medical Center owns a building. Mr. Dorn will be speaking to Pillsbury Manor residents on Thursday about what is happening in the city. He will also be doing 2 sessions at the Library regarding ballot items. A big gala is being planned by Patrick Leduc to raise money for scholarships. Mr. Dorn reminded members of the forecast for a snowstorm on Wednesday. 5. Consent Agenda: a. Approve and Sign Disbursement Ms. Emery moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Councilors’ reports from Committee assignments: No reports were presented. 7. Consider and possibly appoint alternate to the Green Mountain Transit Board: Mr. Chittenden nominated Mr. Barritt to serve as alternate representative to the Green Mountain Transit Board. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 8. Presentation of the TIF District Annual Report to the Vermont Economic Progress Council and (if any) Changes in TIF District’s Certified Original Taxable Value: Ms. Blanchard noted that the original taxable value in the TIF district was $36,228,700 (as of 2012). The value as of 1 April 2016 was $39,777,490, representing a Grand List growth of about $3,000,000. This is attributed to Trader Joe’s, Pier One, and the homes at the Hinesburg Rd. end of Market Street. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 3 During this same period there were expenses of $421,835. These expenses were incurred for scoping for the bicycle bridge and work on Market Street, City Center Park, the Williston Road streetscape, and legal costs. Most of this work was done by 8 in-state businesses. Mr. Chittenden asked whether Garden Street is a priority. Mr. Dorn said it is a joint venture and may move ahead of the Library in order to stimulate more growth. Right now, the Library is the first priority with Garden Street a close second. The city will be talkinged with Snyder- Braverman about this in the next few weeks. They feel Garden Street will raise more money faster. Ms. Nowak noted that original thought was to have a 50%-50% residential-commercial split on Market Street. She said it now looks more like 75%-25%. Ms. Blanchard noted there is now discussion about expanding the TIF district possibly to include the UMall area. She felt it was premature to say what the final revenue will be, and it is better to look at each individual project. Mr. Barritt asked when the Allard building will be on the Grand List. Ms. Blanchard said it will be 1 April 2019. It will have an improved value before that. Mr. Dorn added the value will depend on how much of the construction is completed. Mr. Barritt the asked how South Burlington’s TIF performance compares with that of Winooski and Burlington. Ms. Blanchard said she felt South Burlington is in a very good position and doesn’t face some of the issues the other communities faced. South Burlington is in the beginning of receiving revenue and near the end of the ability to incur debt. South Burlington also has a much better credit rating than the other 2 communities. 9. Update on meetings of the Burlington International Airport Technical Advisory Committee related to the Noise Compatibility Program and discussion of possible comments from the Council: Mr. Conner noted that he, Mr. Dorn, Mr. Maille and Ms. Sargent serve on the Technical Advisory Committee. They have had 6 meetings so far, mostly focusing on education and training regarding the noise compatibility plan. Mr. Conner then reviewed the 3 documents involved: the Airport Master Plan from which all other projects stem, the Noise Exposure Maps (NEM) which shows where specific sound levels CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRURY 2018 PAGE 4 occur, and the Noise Compatibility Pan (NCP) which is done after the NEM. Mr. Conner noted that the NEM done in 2008 still remains in effect even though the lines have moved. Mr. Chittenden asked if it is thought that the lines will move. Mr. Conner said they are anticipated to move in some manner. Mr. Chittenden asked why they would be doing an NCP is it is about to change. Mr. Conner said they have been asking for the map to be updated as soon as possible. Today, the only eligible program that exists is the buyout program, even though there is strong concern to move away from that program. Mr. Maille said the challenge is that if you have an NEM that is a requisite for an NCP and you need to do another NEM, if you do it, you forego any grant money that might be available under the current NEM. The Airport decided that if three programs are going to be pursued, grant money needs to be gotten now, because if you don’t get it now, it pushes things out to another cycle. In other words, if we wait until October, 2019 when the next NEM would be done, it would push things out 2 years to start a new NCP. In the interest of trying to do something for the community as soon as possible and reasonably estimate the impact of the F35sx, Burlington decided to get as much grant money as is available now and then do the new NEM. Mr. Conner noted that the city has advocated for time to digest information and provide feedback, so the review process will probably start in late summer. Mr. Conner added that once the FAA approved the NCP, it will include money for insulation, sales assistance for homeowners, and a process whereby an owner could sell the property and have the program make up the difference between the sales price and the home’s value. Ms. Riehle asked if a berm would be in the plan. Mr. Conner noted the NCP has a series of options (e.g., moving a taxiway, using quieter generators, plus physical improvements on the land). There are a number of opportunities to apply for funding. Mr. Maille noted that an NEM can be done at any time. Mr. Riehle asked if there is an NEM and things change, could it result in a new NCP. Mr. Maille said it could or an existing NCP could be updated. The latter was done in 2007 when the NEM was amended from70 to 65 dbl. Mrs. Emery asked is there was a response to the community survey in which the top choice was a sound barrier. Mr. Conner said Mr. Dorn shared the interim results of the survey. The proposed actions are still being reviewed, so there has been no official response. Ms. Emery noted there was a large response to the survey, and “home buyout” was the last choice. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 5 Mr. Maille said that a wall would probably affect warm-up noise but not the take-off and in-air noises. Ms. Sargent felt the Airport is downgrading a berm and/or wall. She felt that the Committee is being fed information and that the Airport will do what it wants to do. She urged the City Council to take a stance on this. Ms. Riehle hoped there was more willingness to have a dialogue and more recognition of the issues. She felt Mayor Weinberger was more amenable to finding solutions. Ms. Sargent said the Mayor did listend when she suggested there be an extension of the parking garage instead of being located on top of the garage. Mr. Conner said that over the next few months, the City Council and the Advisory Committee will be asked to weigh in on priority investments. The Council has not taken a formal position on where it wants future programs to go. Mr. Conner also noted that the Committee spent time discussiong avigation easements. They are mandatory in some programs and recognize that an airport produces noise. The avigation easements can be modified in some instances or nullified. However, once an easement is selected, it becomes the easement across the board and cannot be changed neighbor by neighbor. Ms. Riehle asked what would happen if the noise goes down. Mr. Maille said the triggers/conditions would have to be written both ways. Mr. Maille said he would advocate that the Committee have the opportunity to “humanize” the conditions and priorities. Mr. Conner noted that the Federal regulations prioritize that homes with the loudest noise are dealt with first, but there can be variations on that. He added that the Airport is providing a tracking system so they will note where noise is coming from. Mr. Maille is advocating that maintenance noise be added to that system. Mr. Maille said this would be an on-line program where people can call in with any complaints. Ms. Sargent said the Airport would have to honest about complaints. She felt nobody complains about noise from commercial planes. Ms. Riehle said Council members can attend the committee meetings. The next one is on 13 March, at 5 p.m. Mr. Conner also urged community members to attend the larger community meetings. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 6 10. Volunteer interview for Development Review Board, Housing Trust Fund and/or City Charter Committee: The Council interviewed the following applicants for committee appointments: Brian Sullivan …………………………….. Development Review Board Ian Squirrell ………………………………. Affordable Housing Trust Fund Jonathan Pence …………………………. Development Review Board; Affordable Housing Trust Fund Daniel Seff …………………………………. City Charter Committee Ms. Riehle advised that the Council will make decisions following any additional interviews at the 20 February meeting. 11. Council Discussion regarding proposed new ordinances: a. Parking b. Motor Vehicles c. Poorly Maintained Properties d. Abandoned Properties e. Rental registry and inspections f. Building codes Mr. Bolduc noted these concerns were in the City Council’s work plan. He then indicated the considerations involved in creating the proposed ordinances, including: identifying the problems they are looking to solve, health and safety concerns, getting public/community input, looking at state regulations, identifying other potential remedies, assessing whether the Council has the authority to make the regulation(s), assessing constitutionality, defining a clear purpose statement for the regulations(s), looking at successful models, considering “unintended consequences,” and holding public hearings. Council members then considered each proposed new ordinance: Parking: Ms. Riehle said the problems include cars parked on lawns, abandoned cars, and towing of cars during winter months. Mr. Barritt also noted that his son couldn’t park in front of his house on East Terrace without being ticketed because of the attempt to discourage student parking. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 7 With regard to abandoned cars, Mr. Rabidoux said he would add boats, trailers, RVs, etc., being left on city streets It was noted that this winter there is less “heavy-handed” towing of vehicles during the parking ban unless maintenance is needed. Mr. Chittenden felt this ties in with a rental registry as there are often 8 people living in a unit, each with a car to park. Mr. Bolduc said that action is pursued against the owner of a property when it is known that more than 4 unrelated people are living in a unit. Ms. Nowak cited an instance of an RV with an attached boat parked in front of a house for a month. She cited the danger of children getting into the boat. She also noted that in Burlington people who park on a lawn are ticketed. She also noted that Chief Whipple had said that in Barre you can have only 2 “non-working” vehicles on a property. Mr. Bolduc said that is the rule in S. Burlington as well. Motor Vehicles: Mr. Barritt noted kids on non-registered, non-lighted motor bikes “buzzing” the Cider Mill area. Mr. Bolduc noted that is covered by laws. He added that all the rules regarding motor vehicles will now be together in one place. Poorly Maintained Properties and Abandoned Properties: Mr. Barritt noted properties with a lot of storage which looks bad. Mr. Chittenden said he would like to see mandated fencing when there is a hazard. Mr. Bolduc said that when there is a public danger, Mr. Rabidoux, as Health Officer, can get involved. Mr. Rabidoux said if it is a rental property, there are a lot of options. With single family homes, it is a “quality of life” issue. There is authority when an unsafe structure abuts another property. Ms. Riehle asked about properties where nobody has lived for 10 years. Mr. Rabidoux said there can be a requirement to secure the property so nobody can gain access. Deputy Chief Francis cited an issue with funding to tear down a property when an owner has died and nobody has claimed the property. If you just put fines and liens on the property, nobody will buy it and banks will not finance it. Ms. Nowak cited the lack of adequate trash containers behind some restaurants leading to trash being thrown on the ground. She also noted a local twin-plex house which left its trash CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 8 bin on the street all winter and just brought the trash out to it. She felt the bin should not be left out indefinitely. Ms. Emery added this is especially true in the city’s right-of-way. Ms. Nowak asked about people leaving “free stuff” out all during the summer. Mr. Bolduc said there is enforcement for something in the city’s right-of-way ($1000 plus attorney fees). Ms. Emery felt it was important that people shouldn’t be able to enter an abandoned building. Mr. Rabidoux said as Health Officer he can issue an emergency order and demand a property be sealed. Deputy Chief Francis said such properties should not be “boarded” up, but should be sealed with a clear boarding material. Rental Registry and Inspections: Ms. Riehle said the Council would like to consider this as it might solve some safety issues with older buildings. Mr. Rabidoux noted the state is considering a state rental registry. Currently, if you own more than 2 rental properties, you have to register with the state. Mr. Dorn noted the city has about 3000 rental units. Citing a tragic incident in Burlington, Mr. Chittenden cited the safety concern with rental units. Deputy Chief Francis said Burlington does an excellent job with this. They have far more older buildings than South Burlington does. Mr. Barritt felt there should be a document of “renters’ rights” and whom to contact to get a situation corrected. Mr. Rabidoux noted they do about 50 inspections a year, all generated by renters’ complaints. Mr. Barritt asked about the recourse if a landlord doesn’t correct a situation. Mr. Rabidoux said in South Burlington they usually do fix the problem. He also noted that South Burlington doesn’t have as many “professional” landlords as Burlington does. Mr. Rabidoux stressed that if a situation is of a “life-safety” nature, Deputy Chief Francis should be contacted. “Health Orders” or “Emergency Health Orders” can be issued. Deputy Chief Francis added that if a situation gets to him, there can be civil fines, and it is generally cheaper to fix the problem. He has never had to impose a fine in South Burlington. Mr. Nowak cited the instance of an owner of various properties who uses an agent locally, and it was hard to contact the owner directly or even find out who the owner is. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 9 Mr. Chittenden felt a rental registry made sense in South Burlington. Mr. Barritt suggested starting with a volunteer registry and then making it mandatory later on. Building Codes: Mr. Barritt noted that as a homeowner you can’t verify that a building is performing to its RBES despite what a builder writes on the form. did what he said he did. Deputy Chief Francis said most of the builders in South Burlington are known. He has authority to visit a building site without notice. The challenge is with individual single family homes and with a building not as experienced with building codes who build substandard homes. Multi- family homes are being built to code. Mr. Barritt suggested extending the same authority to single-family homes. Deputy Chief Francis said that is up to the Council. He noted that a number of communities are looking to do this with new single-family homes. Deputy Chief Francis said he and Chief Brent will be coming to the Council soon with something along this line. They are concerned with sub-standard electrical work in single family homes that is not up to code. Ms. Riehle said that to put homeowners in peril is not appropriate. Deputy Chief Francis said it is not more expensive to build things the right way. Ms. Nowak said she was open to anything that will get safer residences. She asked about certificates of occupancy. Deputy Chief Francis said there are 2 types of Cos: one from Planning and Zoning and one from the Fire Marshall that a building meets fire safety standards. Mr. Bolduc will work on preparing the ordinances. 12. Consider convening as South Burlington Liquor Control Board to approve the following application: a. Catering by Dale – 7 Aspen Drive – First Class License Mr. Chittenden moved the Council convene as Liquor Control Board. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Ms. Emery moved to approve the first-class license for Catering by Dale as presented. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Chittenden moved to reconvene as City Council. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. CITY COUNCIL 5 FEBRUARY 2018 PAGE 10 13. Other Business: a. Items Held from Consent Agenda No items were held from the Consent Agenda. b. Other Mr. Dorn asked the Council how it would like to come up with a name for “City Center Park.” He suggested the possibility of a public process, possibly through the Parks/Recreation Committee. Members were receptive to this idea. Mr. Dorn also noted he will be sending members the latest draft of the proposed letter to homeowners. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn. Ms. Nowak seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 10:37 p.m. ________________________________ Clerk R-2018- RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR WAYFINDING SIGN FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION SERVICES FOR CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON PARKS WHEREAS, the City recently completed a standard park sign design package as City Parks are in need of updated or new signage; and, WHEREAS, Red Rocks Park and City Center Park are funded for replacement wayfinding signage this year; and, WHEREAS, the City would like to contract with a qualified bidder to provide fabrication and installation services for a term of three years; and, WHEREAS, the City issued a competitive Request for Bids to provide sign fabrication and installation services in September 2017; and, WHEREAS, one bid was received in response to the advertisement by the due date of October 19 and the bid has been found to be within budget and responsive to the Request for Bids; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the South Burlington City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with Design Signs, Inc. for Wayfinding Sign Fabrication & Installation for City Parks.

SOUTH BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL __________________________________ ________________________________ Helen Riehle, Chair Meaghan Emery, Vice Chair __________________________________ ________________________________ Tim Barritt, Clerk Pat Nowak __________________________________ Tom Chittenden Memo To: South Burlington City Council From: Tom DiPietro, Deputy Director of Public Works CC: Kevin Dorn, City Manager Justin Rabidoux Director of Public Works Date: February 6, 2018 Re: Grant Application for Construction of Pinnacle at Spear Pond M05 Retrofit Munroe Brook is on the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) list of impaired waterbodies. The primary reason for impairment is identified as uncontrolled stormwater runoff. The ANR released a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Munroe Brook watershed that was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The TMDL document sets a target for flow modification in the stream during the 1 year storm event. In order to meet the flow reduction target set in the Munroe Brook TMDL, the Stormwater Utility worked with consultants to develop a Flow Restoration Plan (FRP), which identify a suite of Stormwater Treatment Practices (STPs) that are capable of attaining the required flow reduction target. In order to implement these projects in a cost effective and timely manner, the City is pursuing all grant funding opportunities available. Therefore, the City must take the opportunity to apply for the 2018 Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) Grant funding. The retrofit of Pinnacle at Spear Pond M05 was identified in both the Munroe Brook FRP. Once retrofit, the stormwater pond will provide additional treatment for the contributing drainage area and enhanced phosphorous removal. I am requesting that Council indicate their support for this project and the City’s grant application to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) Grant. I am requesting that council take a formal vote on this matter and approve submission of the attached grant application. If you have any questions, please contact me at (802) 658 – 7961 x6108 or tdipietro@sburl.com. City Of South Burlington, Grant Request Form Prior to applying for a grant please complete this form and submit to Assistant City Manager.. Please submit at least two weeks prior to City Council approval meeting.

Name/title of grant and submittal deadline date: Ecosystem Restoration Grant SFY 2018 Grant Program. Due: January 31, 2018 2. What specifically is the grant’s purpose? This grant provides funding to construct upgrades to stormwater treatment practices. 3. What does the grant fund and not fund (be specific)? We are requesting this grant so that we can hire a contractor to complete retrofit construction of an outdated stormwater pond to meet current stormwater design standards. The work is for “Pond M05” in the Pinnacle at Spear Neighborhood. 4. Total Project Cost: a. Amount of grant: $109,611.98 b. Is there a City match required, how much and in what fiscal year(s)? Yes, there is a 50% match requirement. We are proposing to provide the 50% match, which will amount to approximately $109,611.98 and include staff time for project management. c. Are there other grants “tied into” or being used as a match for this grant of which are matching funds for this grant? No 5. From what budget line will match be paid, and is there unencumbered money to pay it? Match (cash contribution) will be paid from the stormwater utility budget. Specifically, it will be paid from line item 402-12-7100-80.00 6. Is there a cost to the city upon grant conclusion, and if yes, please describe? No 7. Is grant for stand-alone project, and if no, how does grant fit into another project (describe in some detail)? The grant is for the construction of stormwater improvements of the existing, outdated stormwater treatment practices in the Pinnacle at Spear Neighborhood. The City previously received a grant for the engineering design of these upgrades. The City is applying for two (2) grants in order to fund the construction of three (3) upgrades. This grant is specifically for the upgrade of “Pond M05”. 8. Length of grant - will the grant cross fiscal year(s)? March 2018 – March 2019. It will cross fiscal years. 9. Who will apply for grant (name/title)? Thomas DiPietro, Deputy Director of Public Works 10. How much time will it take to complete grant application form? 4 hours 11. How likely is it that we will receive grant? Very likely. We have a strong project that aligns with the goal of the grant. 12. Who will manage (project manager) grant and grant paperwork if approved (if different person than who is filling out this form), what are any grant compliance requirements, how much time will this take and how is that time available? Are there funds available in the grant to pay for our administrative costs? Can in-kind service be used as part of the City match? Thomas DiPietro will serve as the project manager for this project. 13. Describe grant payment process – method of cash flow: The City will complete work approved in the grant scope of work and request reimbursement from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. 14. Should a Council-appointed Committee, Board, or Commission review this request? The work proposed under this grant is typical of work completed by stormwater utility staff. For these reasons, a board or committee appointment seems unnecessary. 15.

Memo To: South Burlington City Council From: Tom DiPietro, Deputy Director of Public Works CC: Kevin Dorn, City Manager Justin Rabidoux Director of Public Works Date: December 22, 2017 Re: Grant Application for Construction of Pinnacle at Spear Ponds A, B & M07 Retrofits Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook are on the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) list of impaired waterbodies. The primary reason for impairment is identified as uncontrolled stormwater runoff. The ANR released a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for both the Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook watersheds that were approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The TMDL documents set targets for flow modification in the streams during the 1 year storm event. In order to meet the flow reduction targets set in the Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook TMDLs, the Stormwater Utility worked with consultants to develop Flow Restoration Plans (FRPs), which identify a suite of Stormwater Treatment Practices (STPs) that are capable of attaining the required flow reduction targets. In order to implement these projects in a cost effective and timely manner, the City is pursuing all grant funding opportunities available. Therefore, the City must take advantage of the opportunity to apply for the Best Management Practices for Pollution Reduction: Implementation and Planning Grant by the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP). The retrofit of Pinnacle at Spear Ponds A, B & M07 was identified in both the Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook FRP. Once retrofit, the stormwater ponds will provide additional treatment for the contributing drainage areas. I am requesting that Council indicate their support for this project and the City’s grant application to the LCBP’s Best Management Practices for Pollution Reduction: Implementation and Planning Grant. I am requesting that council take a formal vote on this matter and approve submission of the attached grant application. If you have any questions, please contact me at (802) 658 – 7961 x6108 or tdipietro@sburl.com.

No match is required but it is encouraged by the grant agency. We are proposing to provide a 48% match, which will amount to approximately $60,000 in order to cover the remaining construction costs above the $125,000 cap on the grant. This is in addition to staff time for project management. c. Are there other grants “tied into” or being used as a match for this grant of which are matching funds for this grant? No 5.

Is grant for stand alone project, and if no, how does grant fit into another project (describe in some detail)? The grant is for the construction of stormwater improvements of the existing, outdated stormwater treatment practices in the Pinnacle at Spear Neighborhood. The City previously received a grant for the engineering design of these upgrades. The City is applying for two (2) grants in order to fund the construction of three (3) upgrades. This grant is specifically for the upgrade of “Pond A”. 8. Length of grant - will the grant cross fiscal year(s)? March 2018 – March 2019. It will cross fiscal years. 9. Who will apply for grant (name/title)? Thomas DiPietro, Deputy Director of Public Works 10. How much time will it take to complete grant application form? 4 hours 11. How likely is it that we will receive grant? Very likely. We have a strong project that aligns with the goal of the grant.

To comply with the grant, we need to complete 4 quarterly reports and a final report. These reports will be completed by City staff. 13. Describe grant payment process – method of cash flow: The City will complete work approved in the grant scope of work and request reimbursement from the Lake Champlain Basin Program. These reimbursements can occur as often as the City would like to request them. 14. Should a Council-appointed Committee, Board, or Commission review this request? The work proposed under this grant is typical of work completed by stormwater utility staff. For these reasons, a board or committee appointment seems unnecessary. 15.

Draft amendment to the Land Development Regulations DATE: February 20, 2018 City Council meeting The Planning Commission, at its meeting on February 13th, held a public hearing and subsequently voted to approve and submit the attached draft amendment to the Land Development Regulations and its accompanying report to City Council. The amendments consist of the following: a. Establishing housing preservation standards in certain zoning districts; b. Modifications to the City Center Form Based Code, including building placement standards; buffer strip requirements; prohibited exterior materials and replacement of existing siding; off- site placement of open space in the T4 District; accessory structures; pre-approval of open space; off-site landscaping; T3 and T3+ District purpose statement, entrances, balconies, and buildings on small pre-existing lots; T4 and T5 District glazing standards; c. Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts and removal of minor rootftop apparatus from height calculations; d. Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1- Auto Districts; e. Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards; and, f. Minor technical corrections. Enclosed with this memo are the proposed amendments, organized as listed above, as well as the Planning Commission’s report on the draft amendment. The Report includes a brief summary of each of the amendments, as well as an analysis of how the amendments conform to the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission, at their public hearing, received two letters of input. The Commission acknowledged receipt of these letters and asked staff to inform the Council of the actions they took with each: - Letter from Meaghan Emery regarding amount of payment option when a replacement unit is required under the housing preservation standards: The Commission reviewed the letter, and the supporting documentation contained within and referenced by the Commission’s Report evaluating the standard. Following review and in consideration that the draft amount had been recommended by the Affordable Housing Committee, the Commission elected to retain the proposed amount as presented. 2 - Letter from David Shenk regarding width of landscape buffers between Form Based Code districts and R4 / R7 Zoning districts: The Commission discussed the request to reduce the minimum width to 5’ in lieu of the currently required 8’. The Commission had a thorough discussion of this topic, which was first discussed at this hearing (ie, not previously requested or discussed) and was divided, 3-3 with one member absent, on a motion to change the standard from 8’ to 5’. As a result, the motion did not pass. The amendments as a whole were approved 6-0. As with previous amendments, Commission members and/or and staff would be happy to provide a full summary and presentation of the proposed amendments now or at the time of the Council’s public hearing, and answer any questions that Councilors or the public may have. Members of the Commission are anticipated to be in attendance at the public hearing and if schedules allow, on Feb 20th. Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council warn a public hearing for Monday, March 19th at a time of Council’s choosing. 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com Draft Amendments to the South Burlington Land Development Regulations Table of Contents Subject Pages A Establish housing preservation standards 1-5 B Modifications to the City Center Form Based Code 5-10, 20-30 C Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts 11-12 D Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts; 13-15, 34-35 E Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards 15-18, 31-33 F Minor technical corrections. 18-19 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com Draft Amendments to the South Burlington Land Development Regulations Key to amendments: Additions in red underline Deletions in red strikethrough Notes for Uses in SMALL CAPS I.

(5) Each non-rental replacement dwelling unit(s) must be offered for sale either: (a) At or below the fair market value of the dwelling unit that was removed, demolished, or converted to nonresidential use or nonuse, as determined either (i) by an appraisal provided by the applicant, or (ii) by the City’s latest assessed value of the premises including the dwelling unit that was removed, demolished, or converted to nonresidential use or to nonuse; or (b) As an “Affordable Housing” unit, as that term is defined in Article 2 of these Regulations, to prospective purchaser/occupants who are income eligible at the time they purchase the unit. Any such unit shall be subject to a covenant restricting the sale of the dwelling unit for a twenty (20) year period to an owner/occupant who qualifies by income. (6) Income eligibility for replacement units described in this subsection shall be determined based on income guidelines, as adjusted for household size, published annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Burlington-South Burlington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), or on program-based income eligibility requirements established by a partnering housing organization. The income eligibility shall be determined using the most recent income guidelines available at the time a unit is available for occupancy. G. Performance Guaranty/Letter of Credit.

Such a performance guaranty shall be valid for no more than two (2) years, after which the full amount due shall be provided to the City of South Burlington’s Housing Trust Fund if a replacement dwelling unit satisfying the conditions of this Section has not been granted a Certificate of Occupancy as a dwelling unit. H. Administration.

Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1- Auto Districts; E. Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards; and, F. Minor technical corrections. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission approved the amendments and the accompanying Report. 2 Brief Description and Findings Concerning the Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments have been considered by the Planning Commission for their consistency with the text, goals, and objectives of the City of South Burlington’s Comprehensive Plan, adopted February 2, 2016. For each of the amendments, the Commission has addressed the following as enumerated under 24 VSA 4441(c): “…The report shall provide a brief explanation of the proposed bylaw, amendment, or repeal and shall include a statement of purpose as required for notice under section 4444 of this title, and shall include findings regarding how the proposal: (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities.” A. Establish a housing preservation requirement that requires replacement of removed dwelling units in certain districts Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would require the preservation of housing in the City of South Burlington. For each dwelling unit removed in the applicable zoning districts, a replacement dwelling unit or financial contribution to the City’s affordable housing trust fund be made with the goal of preserving workforce and affordable homes in the City. Any replacement dwelling unit built on a parcel that is different from the origin parcel would need to include an affordability component or be sold or rented for equal or lower cost than the building that was removed. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing The proposed amendments implement the goals and policies of the City’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan, and are specifically focused on the availability of safe and affordable housing. Among these goals & policies: • Goals: “Be affordable, with housing for people of all incomes, lifestyles, and stages of life” (p. 1-1) • Goal: “Keep unique features, and maintain or enhance the quality of life of existing neighborhoods” (p. 1-1) • Objective 3. “Foster the creation and retention of a housing stock that is balanced in size and target income level, is representative of the needs of households of central Chittenden County, and maintain an efficient use of land for use by future generations” (p. 2-16) • Objective 4. “Support the retention of existing and construction of new affordable and moderate-income housing, emphasizing both smaller single family homes and apartments, to meet demand within the regional housing market.” (p. 2-16) 3 • Strategy 4. “Implement a variety of tools and programs to foster innovative approaches to preserving and increasing the City’s supply of affordable and moderate income housing. Potential tools should be explored and could include form-based codes that would allow a variety of residential and mixed use building types, transferable development rights, neighborhood preservation overlay districts, household definition regulations, inclusionary zoning, bonuses and incentives, waivers and expedited review processes, and/or a housing retention ordinance.” (p. 2-16) • Strategy 6. “Promote the preservation of existing housing stock in residential neighborhoods, particularly the supply of affordable and moderately-priced homes.” (p. 2- 16). The Comprehensive Plan also points to the City’s 2013 “Path to Affordability” Affordable Housing Report as an additional resource in this area. The Report includes a detailed analysis of the City’s current and future demographics, housing stock, overall affordability, and provides an assessment of current and prospective tools to address identified housing needs. The Report notes that the cost of construction of new housing leaves an affordability gap for young families and recommends tools to retain existing housing stock as a means to meet demand in this sector of the population. The Report includes specific recommendations to pursue housing retention / preservation regulations and also included several of the housing goals, objectives, and strategies that are in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment provides multiple alternatives for how housing is to be retained in the community. These include: • Rebuild a dwelling unit on the subject parcel. A dwelling unit that is removed can be replaced with a new dwelling unit on the same parcel. • Build a dwelling unit on a separate parcel. A dwelling unit that is removed can be replaced with a new dwelling unit, on a different parcel, so long as the new dwelling unit serves as a group home, meets an affordability requirement for a specified period of time, or is offered for sale at or below the fair market value of the unit that removed. • Make a contribution to the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. A dwelling unit that is removed can be mitigated through a contribution to the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The amount of the contribution was established based on an assessment of the down payment assistance that has been demonstrated as needed for affordable, shared equity housing programs to be functional in the region. Supporting documentation has been provided via letter from Champlain Housing Trust and via email from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment would not alter future land uses or densities as envisioned in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Housing may be retained and any replacement housing would be constructed pursuant to the densities and future land uses established in the current regulations. 4 (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. B. Modifications to the City Center Form Based Code Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would make a series of minor modifications to the City Center Form Based Code. Specifically: • Allow accessory structures of up to 500 s.f. to be located on a site in locations other than along street frontages; • Clarifications to buffer strip requirements between T4 districts and R4 / R7 districts; • Allow for the replacement of pre-existing vinyl siding on a building with new vinyl siding • Apply the list of prohibited exterior materials on buildings to all sides, not only those facing streets, public rights-of-0way, and park spaces; • Clarify allowance for off-site placement of open space in the T4 District; • Allow for pre-approval of open space in a multi-phased project; • Allow for off-site use of landscaping budget where open space is to be located off-site • Clarifications to T3 and T3+ District purpose statement • Allowance for additional building types in the T3 and T3+ districts on small lots • Modify upper-story balcony requirements in the T3 and T3+ Districts • Clarifications of measurement of T4 and T5 District glazing standards; (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The proposed amendments to the Form Based Code closely align with the goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The amendments are relatively minor in nature, but each are consistent with the objectives presented below. “The vision for the Central District is to effectively blend existing neighborhoods, commercial areas, natural areas, underdeveloped properties, and undeveloped lands into the true downtown of South Burlington. Th is downtown will provide increased connectivity through new cross streets; support an integrated mix of housing, retail, and employment; and be a primary focus point for compact, walkable development within the City.” (P. 3-9) “Objective 40. Create a cohesive, diverse, dynamic, and people-oriented City Center with a strong identity and ‘sense of place’ that incorporates harmonious design, an appropriate mix of residential and non-residential uses and public amenities that complement adjoining neighborhoods.” “Strategy 102. Use design review and/or form-based coding to promote the development of aesthetically pleasing, pedestrian-focused and highly functional environments.” 5 “Strategy 4. Implement a variety of tools and programs to foster innovating approaches to preserving and increasing the City’s supply of affordable and moderate income housing, including…. inclusionary zoning…” “Strategy 5. Increase the supply of safe and affordable housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed-income development with City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial / industrial uses.” The proposed amendments advance the availability of safe and affordable housing by allowing for greater flexibility in the development of small lots in the T3 and T3+ Districts. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The majority of the amendments listed above are minor in nature and would not impact future land uses or densities. The allowance for greater flexibility in small lots in the T3 and T3+ district, however, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s designation of this area as “medium to higher intensity, mixed use”, transitioning to “lower intensity, principally residential.” (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities.” The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. C. Modifications to height standards in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts and removal of minor rootftop apparatus from height calculations; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would modify the height standards in three South Burlington Zoning districts: the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto. Specifically: • Increase maximum height in the districts from 40 feet to five stories and remove associate4d height waiver provisions; • Specify that no building shall be more than 1 story taller than the shortest building on adjacent lands in the Residential 4 District, except where separation exists beyond 75 feet; The amendments would also remove minor rooftop apparatus from the calculation of heights. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The proposed amendment seeks to align the stated goals of the Plan with the effective developability of the parcels in these zones. Current height standards limit the density of housing in areas designated for growth. Furthermore, the zoning districts included in this 6 amendment lie within established transportation corridors. Affordability of housing is often reliant on increased density and a reduction in living expenses, including the costs of transportation. Increased building heights in this corridor, and by extension density, will result in an increase in safe and affordable housing options. Each of the affected zoning districts are located within the Medium-to-Higher Intensity – Mixed Use Future Land Use District in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The district is described as follows: “These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings wherever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open space are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.” (p. 3-7) The proposed amendment also affirmatively advances the following objectives and strategies for housing and for this district generally: “Objective 5. Build and reinforce diverse, walkable neighborhoods that offers a good quality of by designing and locating new and renovated housing in a context-sensitive manner that will facilities the development of a high-density City Center, mixed use transit corridors, and compact residential neighborhoods” (p. 2-16)” “Strategy 5. Increase the supple of safe and affordable rental housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed income development within City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial/industrial land uses.” (p. 2-16) “Objective 39. The majority of new development will occur within the Shelburne Road, Williston Road, and Kennedy Drive Corridors, and other areas within the Transit service area.” (p. 3-4) “East of Victory Drive, land uses are planned to include a mix of residential (on the north side) and non-residential (on the south side. East of Mills Ave, non-residential uses are programmed for both sides of the road. In all of these areas, development should create inviting spaces for residents in nearby neighborhoods to walk to services along Williston Road.” (p. 3-16) “Objective 54. Promote higher-density, mixed use development and redevelopment along Shelburne Road and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas.” (p. 3-28) (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment seeks to align the stated goals of the Plan with the effective developability of the parcels in these zones. Current height standards are directly limiting 7 the density of housing in this corridor; the stated density goals are restrained by building height limitations and the achievable densities fall below the stated goals. Where densities remain achievable, they are too often accomplished with wider buildings that become more land-consumptive and exacerbate issues associated with increased impervious coverage. As described above, the proposed amendment is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. D. Establishment of an Urban Design Overlay District within portions of the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1-Auto Districts; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would create a new overlay zone, the Urban Design Overlay District. This district would generally include properties that front on Shelburne Road as well as a small area of land surrounding the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection. The amendment’s stated purpose is to reflect a design which fosters accessibility in the area. More specifically, the amendment: • Requires entries on the façade of the building served by the primary road in the corridor. This entry is to be regulated as a focal point of the front façade and be an easily recognizable feature of the building, served by a walkway; • Requires a minimum amount of glazing on the principal public façade; • Reduce minimum building setbacks from the road right of way; • Establish ‘nodes’ of activity at designated corridors; • Clarify landscaping requirements for properties in the district, particularly where they abut a residential zoning district. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. The stated purpose of the overlay district includes the following language: This Overlay aids the City’s vision for the Southwest quadrant, which is to enable infill and conversion development, encourage pedestrian movement, serve local and regional shopping and employment needs, and make use of existing public transportation. The City strongly envisions that the quadrant will also provide safe and inviting access to adjacent neighborhoods. This infill development, carefully crafted with pedestrian principles and aesthetic consideration, will lead to an increase in new housing that is affordable and will also 8 create more opportunities and a better place for adjacent established neighborhoods that account for a large portion of the City’s most affordable family housing. Each of the affected area are located within the Medium-to-Higher Intensity – Mixed Use Future Land Use District in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The district is described as follows: “These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings wherever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open space are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.” (p. 3-7) The proposed amendment also affirmatively advances the following objectives and strategies for housing and for this district generally: “Objective 5. Build and reinforce diverse, walkable neighborhoods that offers a good quality of by designing and locating new and renovated housing in a context-sensitive manner that will facilities the development of a high-density City Center, mixed use transit corridors, and compact residential neighborhoods” (p. 2-16)” “Strategy 5. Increase the supple of safe and affordable rental housing by allowing higher- density, mixed use and mixed income development within City Center and transit corridors, allowing multi-unit housing within transitional zones between residential neighborhoods and commercial/industrial land uses.” (p. 2-16) “Design Review / Form Based Codes. The City has successfully implemented several design review districts within its City Center and is in 2015 working to an evolution to an adopted Form Based Code. This effort has proved successful and it is a concept that is proposed to be explored in other areas of the City. It is in the interest of the City to improve its appearance in order to enhance quality of life for the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors.” (pp. 2-48 – 2-49). “Context-sensitive site design. The City should also encourage the retention of historic landscapes and structures and the restoration of other. The use of additional alternatives to achieve improved aesthetics should be explored, such as requiring variable setbacks, the use of high quality traditional building materials, and locating parking to the rear pf commercial establishments. It has been a trend in many sectors of the retail area to construct cheap structural shells that are easily changed to accommodate market fluctuations. The City should work with the development community to identify tools to improve the quality of life within the City and help foster a true sense of community.” (p. 2-49) 9 “Objective 39. The majority of new development will occur within the Shelburne Road, Williston Road, and Kennedy Drive Corridors, and other areas within the Transit service area.” (p. 3-4) “East of Victory Drive, land uses are planned to include a mix of residential (on the north side) and non-residential (on the south side. East of Mills Ave, non-residential uses are programmed for both sides of the road. In all of these areas, development should create inviting spaces for residents in nearby neighborhoods to walk to services along Williston Road.” (p. 3-16) “Objective 54. Promote higher-density, mixed use development and redevelopment along Shelburne Road and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas.” (p. 3-28) (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendment implements the community desires established in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the Plan desires that new development will occur in subject corridors. The corridors subject to the Urban Design Overlay District are encouraged within the Plan to use public transportation services, inspire pedestrian movement, and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas. More specifically yet, the Plan advocates for the creation of one or more nodes of concentrated development and public activity in these areas. As described above, the proposed amendment is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not impact any specific proposals for planned community facilities. E. Modifications to Bicycle Parking standards Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw These minor amendments clarify existing requirements in the design of bike parking facilities, including short term and long-term bike parking. New provisions are included which allow for limited inclusion of pre-existing bike racks in meeting new standards. Location of Amendments in the LDRs: Chapter 13.14 Supplemental Regulations; Appendix G. Analysis & Findings per 24 VSA 4441(c): (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing 10 While the provision of these “end-of-trip” bicycle facilities support the availability of safe and affordable housing by assuring that residents have places to keep bicycles and reduce dependence of vehicle ownership, the included amendments are technical in nature and do not impact the municipal plan or the availability of safe and affordable housing.
