South Burlington City Council Meeting Participation Guidelines City Council meetings are the only time we have to discuss and decide on City matters. We want to be as open and informal as possible; but Council meetings are not town meetings. In an effort to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, we kindly request your cooperation and compliance with the following guidelines. 1. Please be respectful of each other (Council members, staff, and the public). 2. Please raise your hand to be recognized by the Chair. Once recognized please state your name and address. 3. Please address the Chair and not other members of the public, staff, or presenters. 4. Please abide by any time limits that have been set. Time limits will be used to insure everyone is heard and there is sufficient time for the Council to conduct all the business on the agenda. 5. The Chair will make a reasonable effort to allow everyone to speak once before speakers address the Council a second time. 6. The Chair may ask that discussion be limited to the Councilors once the public input has been heard. 7. Please do not interrupt when others are speaking. 8. Please do not repeat the points made by others, except to briefly say whether you agree or disagree with others views. 9. Please use the outside hallway for side conversations. It is difficult to hear speaker remarks when there are other conversations occurring. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works.

The purchase was completed following the procedures and requirements set out in the City Charter and the voter-authorized Open Space Fund, which collects $0.01 on the tax rate annually, totaling approximately $280,000 per year for the acquisition and maintenance of open space and park lands. The City’s Open Space fund has been used for several important conservation projects in recent years, including the purchase of the 40+ acre Scott property off Dorset Street, the conservation of the 22-acre Goodrich property along the Muddy Brook, and a significant contribution towards the farm- conservation of the 143-acre Leduc Farm (now operated as the Bread and Butter Farm) in South Burlington & Shelburne. The Underwood Property had long been identified by the City as an area worthy of protection and its purchase represents the largest single acquisition of land for public use in the City since purchase of the Wheeler Nature Park in the early 1990s. From the date of purchase the City recognized the diverse potential of the property – including active and passive recreational use, agriculture and local food production, natural resource conservation, community gathering, solar energy generation, and more – and has committed to involving the citizens of South Burlington to hear their thoughts as to the best and varied uses for this property. To provide a compass point that will guide the future design of the parcel, the City issued a Call for Proposal for a Community Visioning Facilitator to explore the community interests and establish common or prominent goals for the property. With the SE Group selected as the facilitator, a community visioning process was begun with a robust stakeholder and community engagement component. To guide this process the City Council created the Underwood Task Force, which includes neighboring residents and members of the City’s Natural Resources Committee, Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, Sustainable Agriculture Sub-Committee of the Planning Commission, and Recreation and Leisure Arts Committee. The process involves 3 primary phases: 1) Site Review and Baseline Analysis; 2) Engagement Process; and 3) Developing the Vision Framework. The final result of this process is presented here in the Vision Framework Document, which summarizes Site Review and Baseline Analysis -Considers long-standing City objectives, plans and regulations for open space management, recreational use and need and land capability. -Establishes site constraints and phyiscal considerations Engagement Process -Two site visits (one with City Staff, one with the Task Force Members) -Five Task Force Meetings -One Public Design Workshop -One Public Presentation to the City Council Develop Vision Framework -Establishes a framework for making decisions about what type and general intensity of uses should occur on the site -Establishes clear and achievable short-term goals to advance the decision-making process. Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar TF#1/ SV#2 SV#1 TF#2 TF#5 PW CCP TF#3 TF#4 SV: Site Visit, TF: Task Force Meeting, PW: Public Design Workshop, CCP: City Council Presentation “Today the City made its most significant investment in open space and recreation in the past 20 years. The Underwood property is a special place, with forests, fields, and spectacular views, and now it belongs to the citizens of South Burlington.” - - Rosanne Greco, City Council Chair February, 2013 the process, identifies options for future consideration, and establishes clear and achievable goals that advance the community’s decision-making process. It is emphasized that this Vision Framework is not intended to be a master plan for the property, but rather an inclusive vision and blueprint for next steps. Location The Underwood Property is located in the Southeast Quadrant (SEQ) of South Burlington near Overlook Park at the corner of Spear Street and Nowland Farm Road. The property is in close proximity to a number of residential neighborhoods, including those off Nowland Farm Road (Pinnacle Drive, Vale Drive, Four Sisters Road), the adjacent South Pointe neighborhood, and those across Spear Street (Deerfield Road and Pheasant Way). The South Burlington Recreation Path runs along the north side of Nowland Farm Road (across the street from the Underwood Property), and there are plans to create a new Rec Path connection in this area beginning at the South Village neighborhood. Proximity to the Vermont National Country Club and the public Nordic skiing opportunities available there is also important. It is 1/8th mile from Overlook Park; one mile from South Village, Farrell Park, Szymanski Park; one and a half miles to Veterans Memorial Park and Wheeler Nature Park; two and half miles from South Burlington High School and Red Rocks Park; three Miles from Market Street and the University Mall and; four miles from Jaycee Park. UNDERWOOD PROPERTY | VISION FRAMEWORK[ 3 ] UNDERWOOD TODAY Previous Planning This Vision Framework has considered long-standing City objectives, plans, and regulations for open space management, recreational use and need, sustainable agriculture, and land capability when framing the opportunities for expanded public access and use of the Property. The following community plans were analyzed to determine relevant considerations: 1) South Burlington Comprehensive Plan 2011; 2) South Burlington Open Space Report 2014; 3) Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Report 2013; 4) Wildlife and Natural Community Assessment of the Southeast Quadrant South Burlington 2004; 5) South Burlington Land Development Regulations 2013; and 6) South Burlington Capital Budget and Program 2014. The following goals, needs, and considerations were identified as relevant to the current planning process: • Growing public demand for accessible natural areas • Growing interest in undeveloped, natural recreation areas • Protection of important views • Need for more outdoor playing fields, particularly more informal playing fields • Maintenance and expansion of tree cover on public property • Protection of water resources and recharge lands • Protection of heritage landscapes (farm fields in SEQ) • Protection of forested lands with a focus on public access and enjoyment, and wildlife preservation • Increase community gardens, Community Supported Agriculture, and farmers’ markets • Establishment of a Farmland Leasing Program (use city land for food production) • Increase the amount of SB produced food sold and served in local grocery stores, restaurants, and school cafeterias • Incorporate agriculture into existing and future development patterns. • Population/development pressure on wildlife habitat/corridors, especially in the SEQ • The presence of important soils provide opportunities for development to be commingled with small-scale agricultural operations, community gardens, and the continued presence of larger scale operations • Promotion of community gardens and micro-farming as a preferred use of conserved open space under the land development regulations, and under city-supported programs. Inventory and designate city land suitable for community gardens and provide no-cost water sources (actions) Special Designations and Protections The Underwood Property contains a wide array of natural resource values that the City has recognized in previous planning documents. As a result, the City has implemented many layers of protections and special designations that constrain and inform what uses should occur on the parcel. Parks and Recreation Need and Gap Analysis The City completed a Parks and Recreation Need and Gap Analysis as part of the Open Space Report, which also included the adoption of specific Level of Service Standards. Residential development over the past decade has brought the City from being well above the Adopted Level of Service Standards to close or slightly below the standard of 7.5 acres per 1,000 residents. The Open Space Report also noted that parks are not within easy pedestrian access to all residents. Layers of Protection [ 4 ] UNDERWOOD TODAY Site Analysis and Constraints In addition to considering long-standing City objectives, plans, and regulations for open space management, recreational use and need, and land capability, physical and social aspects of the site were also considered when framing opportunities for expanded public access and use of the Property. One of the most important physical aspects of the site are the expansive and breathtaking views afforded on the Property. Important views include Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains to the west, Mount Mansfield to the northeast, and Mount Abraham and Camel’s Hump to the southeast. Early on, the Task Force and City expressed an interest in capitalizing upon the amazing views provided from the site. The images below all depict views to the west. Soils are another important physical consideration for the parcel. The entire parcel contains Farmland of Statewide Importance (Covington Stony Loam and Vergennes Clay), with the presence of Prime Agricultural Soil (Stockbridge and Nellis Stony Loams) near Spear Street on the western area of the parcel, which are considered even better for farming and agricultural purposes. Water resources are yet another important physical consideration for the Underwood Property. Monroe Brook is a prominent land feature of the parcel, which helps to divide up the otherwise open palate of a large, mostly flat and grassy parcel. Monroe Brook is identified as an impaired sub- watershed, as is another sub-watershed found on the parcel for Potash Brook. These impaired watersheds are important because stormwater management improvements made on the site will have the potential to improve the quality in not just one, but two impaired watershed. Although wetlands need to be further delineated, wetlands with important hydrologic functions have also been mapped on the parcel. The woody wetlands found in the eastern portion of the parcel form the northern portion of the Great Swamp wetland complex, which is centered on a large hardwood swamp that extends south of the parcel and east of Spear Street. The Great Swamp includes upland forests, shrubby old fields, wetlands, and residential use areas that surround it. The Great Swamp appears to be one of the few wetlands in the SEQ that does not have any invasive species. Significantly, the overall hydrology of this wetland appears to be undisturbed, which is essential to the health of the natural community. The South Burlington Wildlife and Natural Communities Assessment found, that “this is probably the most significant natural community within the SEQ.” Given the ecological significance of this area and the fact that this is a rare landform in South Burlington, the wooded area in the eastern edge of the parcel should be protected. The Underwood Parcel has easy access to the City’s sewer, water, stormwater, and other utilities, which is another important consideration for the site. Finally, the location of the site in the broader community lends itself to acting as a conduit for connectivity. Important connections include existing trails from the South Pointe development, the future extension of the South Burlington Rec Path from South Village to Nowland Farm Road, the potential for connections with public Nordic skiing opportunities on the nearby Vermont National Country Club, and the potential to increase bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between residential developments surrounding the parcel. Soil Label Soil Type SuB Stockbridge and Nellis Stony Loams (Prime Agricultural Soil) VeB, VeC Vergennes Clay (Farmland of Statewide Importance) Cv Covington Stony Loam (Farmland of Statewide Importance) [ 6 ] The following overarching themes were initially developed by the task force and were reaffirmed through the public engagement process: multi-generational, multi-dimensional (natural resources, agriculture, and recreation), low key, low intensity, natural, low impact development, innovative, sustainable, showcasing of unique features, and ecologically sensitive design. These themes should inform all future planning for the Underwood Property, and should be carried forward in all development, maintenance, and operation of the facilities ultimately constructed on the parcel. INSPIRATION & VISION At the outset of the this planning process the City of South Burlington sought to explore the possibilities for diverse uses of the Underwood Parcel. The three primary uses contemplated were natural resource conservation, agriculture, and recreation. The Task Force reiterated the importance of all three of these uses, stressing that the future design of the parcel should incorporate some degree of each. It is in this context that discussions around the future use of the parcel have been framed, seeking to find the appropriate mix between these varied and unique uses. Beyond these three uses, the Task Force also considered potential residential use of the parcel, but this was ultimately dismissed through a formal motion of the Task Force. In eliminating further consideration of this use, The Task force considered the parcel’s high value for these other public uses, the unique natural features of the land, and the sensitive environmental resources present on the property. Natural Resources AgricultureRecreation Primary Use Modalities Overarching Themes Public Engagement Process To create a true community vision for the Underwood Property, the City of South Burlington and the SE Group have facilitated an engagement process that brings together the various stakeholder groups and constituencies who have offered ideas, suggestions and guidance on desirable uses for the Underwood Property. Part of this engagement process has centered on the Underwood Task force which includes neighboring residents and members of the City’s Natural Resources Committee, Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, Sustainable Agriculture Sub-Committee of the Planning Commission, and Recreation and Leisure Arts Committee. Five Task Force meetings have been convened to discuss the future uses and opportunities for the site. Each Task Force meeting was attended by members of the general public – in addition to the Task Force members – who also provided comments and added to the discussions. Two site visits, one with City staff and one with the Task Force members, were completed. Photo- Bernie Paquette UNDERWOOD PROPERTY | VISION FRAMEWORK[ 7 ] INSPIRATION & VISION Another important aspect of the engagement process was the public design workshop at the South Burlington City Hall on Thursday, January 29, 2015. The public design workshop was advertised by the City through email, the City website, and publishing notices in the local newspaper and three initial concepts were presented, detailing the key features of each. Each of the three initial concepts leaned towards a greater percentage of the land being used for natural resource conservation, agriculture, or recreation. The design conversations were framed around a desire for the development to be low-key, low-intensity, natural, sustainable, ecologically sensitive, multi-generational, innovative, and showcase unique features. The workshop was very well attended with more than 50 participants engaging in the discussion. The workshop included a presentation on the scope of current process, the site analysis and constraints, the stakeholder process, the overarching themes for the project, and a presentation of the three initial vision framework concepts. The public design workshop also included numerous opportunities for the public to provide feedback on the initial frameworks and ideas presented at the workshop. Workshop stations were set up for each of the three initial vision framework concepts. Each station was manned by a facilitator who could answer questions, take notes, and facilitate discussion around each concept. A general comment box was also provided as well as a framework preference triangle. In addition, all materials from the public design workshop were made available on the City’s homepage and an online comment form was provided to allow the public to provide additional input. Again this opportunity was advertised by the City through email, the City website, and publishing notices in the local newspaper. Based on the broad discussion with the Task Force, SE Group crafted three initial vision framework concepts. While each incorporated all three primary use modalities, each was given a specific “lean” towards one of them. In this way the concepts could be used to explore general public attitudes about what direction the ultimate program and design the Underwood Property should take. This approach also allowed for various elements under each use to be explored in varying degrees of intensity. The three concepts are described in graphic and narrative form on the following pages. Conceptual Vision Frameworks Photo- Bernie Paquette Initial Option A: Lean “Natural Resources” This concept introduces substantial areas of natural resource conservation and restoration (forest, riparian and meadow) into the park concept. Agricultural areas are clustered near the Spear Street frontage. Recreational features include traditional playgrounds, open/play fields, a pump track and a woodland tree house complex. Vehicular access is provided by a drive connection off of Nowland Farm Road (aligned with Pinnacle Drive) terminating in a parking area of 40-50 spaces. A multi-purpose structure is placed near the high point of the property. A separate vehicular connection point and parking was explored along Spear Street to serve as a convenience to the community gardens proposed. Pedestrian and bicycle linkages are supported by a dedicated extension of the South Burlington Recreation Path through the property as well as numerous looped walking paths. This concept has two crossing points for Munroe Brook. Uses within the wooded portion of the property are very limited. INSPIRATION & VISION Initial Option B: Lean “Agriculture” In this concept the idea is to increase the opportunities for agricultural elements by expanding the agricultural “zone” beyond the Spear Street frontage containing Prime Agricultural Soil into areas with Farmland Soil of Statewide Importance and by diversifying the types of agricultural uses. Some restorative areas are also indicated. Vehicular access is provided at two points along Nowland Farm Road in a “looped” configuration. This allows service connection between the primary event structure (barn) and a secondary structure (outpost) further east. The barn is envisioned to be flexible for a variety of uses and support agricultural functions in the park. The outpost would have its own parking and serve as a recreational access point. Parking is also shown along Nowland Farm Road. The separation of parking allows both event and non-event functions at the park to happen simultaneously. The concept also shows the extension of the South Burlington Recreation Path through the property as well as numerous looped walking paths. Recreational uses are clustered around the outpost and include open fields, pump track and wild play elements. INSPIRATION & VISION Initial Option C: Lean “Recreation” This concept organizes the space with recreation as the dominant element. Agricultural uses are limited to areas in close proximity to the main park structure; now placed further east towards Munroe Brook. These agricultural uses are smaller in scale; raised accessible beds, cutting garden, orchard, etc. The area along Spear Street is reserved for meadow uses, keeping it largely intact. Again parking is separated, enabling concurrent use of the three proposed outdoor fields and the event spaces in/around the main structure. A secondary bathroom structure is proposed near the outdoor fields. This concept has the entire gamut of recreational elements ranging from walking paths, fitness stations, outdoor fields, playground, pump track, strider park, wild play features and a woodland tree house. A linkage for the Recreation Path is also provided. This concept also introduces more intensive use of the woodland areas. This was done, in part, to explore the reaction to encroachment in this area. INSPIRATION & VISION UNDERWOOD PROPERTY | VISION FRAMEWORK[ 11 ] Active play is an important part of a dynamic park environment. While the overarching idea was to maintain a “low key” attitude towards recreation, the concepts explored some new (and unique) elements that might set Underwood Park apart. In recent years Strider bikes (pedal- less training bikes) have become popular. Many communities are creating unique environments for these bikes, allowing kids a safe, playful environment that provides some challenge. Pump Tracks, high- energy short courses where bicyclists can “pump” along undulating terrain is another innovative option explored. Treehouses and wild play (naturalized play spaces) are also options explored; adding uniqueness to the experience. INSPIRATION & VISION Elements Explored For each of the initial vision framework options a number of specific elements were considered and are summarized below. At this stage of the planning process, these elements serve as examples of the activities that may occur on the parcel, but should be further refined as additional planning occurs. Structures Each of the initial vision framework concepts explored some primary “structure” to serve the future park as both an operational space and as a future event venue. Whether this takes the form of a classic barn or evokes a more modern aesthetic, the vision frameworks rely on the primary structure to support: • Restroom facilities• Park information• Operations space• Multi-purpose event space • Educational space In addition to a primary structure, some concepts include outpost facilities housing bathrooms and park information. Environmentally sustainable design and the use of renewable energy are potentially appropriate strategies for these structures. Outdoor Fields Each of the initial concepts includes some natural outdoor field/play space. These are generally envisioned as more flexible spaces; can be used for soccer and/or softball. These fields may be stripped and would certainly be graded and drained to allow them to function well throughout the season. In all concepts the idea was to keep fields “low key” and flexible in the activities they support. Agriculture Diversity of agricultural options was explored in each of the concepts. This diversity was expressed in the form agriculture might take (tilled community gardens, accessible raised beds, orchards, etc.). In addition to these more “conventional” agricultural elements, the concepts also considered forms such as vineyards and livestock. Some of these elements were more intensive than others; allowing the public a chance to explore the expression of agricultural uses on the property in unique ways. A key to all of the agricultural elements will be to make them accessible and meaningful to the community. Active Play Environments Natural Resource Restoration A hallmark of all of the concepts is the inclusion of natural resource restoration elements. These improvements are envisioned to embrace specific opportunities to expand/enhance existing natural resources on the property (i.e. riparian areas along Munroe Brook, existing meadows). Serving both as unique landscape features and as venues for outdoor education, these restoration elements could also act as showpieces for innovative stormwater management and watershed remediation efforts by the community. Circulation and Connectivity All of the concepts addressed ways of maximizing connectivity within the property. The visions explored included simple mowed trails, gravel carriage roads or more formalized multi-use paths: connections that could be used in all seasons and by diverse users. A key element of all concepts was allowing for a future Recreation Path connection through the Underwood Property. This connection would help integrate the future park with the broader community recreational infrastructure. Another key element of each concept was the idea of adding “trail heads” into and throughout the property. The property sits at a crossroads of a variety of outdoor recreational environments and enhancing its role as a gateway to these features was explored in each framework vision. [ 12 ] INSPIRATION & VISION Through the public design workshop and the online comment forum, 144 individual comments were received. Approximately two thirds of the comments were received at the public workshop, with the remaining third of the comments being received online or by email. A full transcript of all the public comments is provided in Appendix A. Public Comment Overview “Thank you for seeking public input in such an organized fashion. You’ve done an excellent job of providing an easy, non-time-consuming way for citizens to review the plans and offer comments. ” - ANONYMOUS COMMENTER Framework preferences were expressed by the public through the preference triangle station at the public workshop, which allowed participants to place a dot on the board indicating where they fall on the spectrum of preference between the three primary use modalities: natural resources, agriculture, and recreation. The result of this exercise demonstrates a primary grouping slightly tending towards natural resources. Public framework preferences were also expressed through public comments when commentators simply stated which initial vision framework was their favorite. Of the 48 commentators who identified a favorite vision framework, 30 (or 62%) indicated natural resources as their preference. Public Preferences Photo- Bernie Paquette UNDERWOOD PROPERTY | VISION FRAMEWORK[ 13 ] INSPIRATION & VISION Recommendations Expressed in Public Comments While public preference was clearly aligned with a natural resource orientation, public comments also included a number of specific recommendations that the preferred plan should consider: • Love the barn/farm aesthetic • Community event space important • Love wild play concept • Embrace Low-impact, low-intensity development • Provide unique opportunities • Varied agricultural elements are important. Tilled, traditional agriculture and livestock less preferable to community gardens, raised beds, flower gardens, orchards etc. • Maintaining natural/wild properties of the parcel important • Utilize natural materials • Preserve views/ridgeline • Trails and bike/pedestrian connectivity are very important aspects • Add pedestrian portal on Spear Street • Add BBQ/picnic facilities within the Park • Fitness stations not critical element • Like pump track/strider park concept • Two brook crossings preferred • Stormwater management and water quality improvements along Spear Street • Restoration and interpretive/educational signage important • Encouraging appreciation of natural world/environment important • Limited activity in the woods Unique Ideas From the Public Design Workshop Public input also suggested several specific elements that might be considered for the preferred plan: • Labyrinth • Stonehenge and sundial • Exchange the Underwood Parcel for land west of the Airport • Ponds for ice skating • Fat bikes • BBQ/picnic areas • Fairy houses Topics with No Clear Direction from the Public Design Workshop There were two issues raised by the public during the Public Design Workshop on which there was no clear direction: • Dogs - whether to allow them and if so, where and in what way. Public comment was often divided on this issue. • Parking - where it should be located on the property. “I am a long time resident and appreciate the thoughtfulness that has gone into these visions. I find each appealing in its own right, especially that each preserves and builds on the natural beauty of the area, including the addition of structures that are architecturally fitting and beautiful themselves.” - ANONYMOUS COMMENTER “Great process and initiative! Love the concept of keeping the land wild and undeveloped. No paving over paradise.” - ANONYMOUS COMMENTER Photo- Bernie Paquette [ 14 ] UNDERWOOD TOMORROW Based on public feedback and Task Force input, the following are general guiding principles for Underwood Park that should be considered in future planning efforts. In developing Underwood Park, the City of South Burlington should: • Promote a mix of Natural Resource, Agriculture, and Recreation uses within the Park. • Place greatest emphasis on natural resource conservation and sustainability - keep development low-impact, low- key and low intensity. Promote the use of renewable energy, rainwater catchment and the visible integration of stormwater management practices within the Park. • Promote educational and environmental awareness in the park through interpretive signs and information highlighting the focus on natural resources and specific forestland, riparian and/or meadow restoration efforts. • Utilize Prime Agricultural Soils and encourage diverse agricultural uses focused on identified community need. Promote agricultural uses that are accessible to a wide cross-section of the community or enhance the educational function of the Park or City. • Assure the Park functions as a gateway to recreation and a conduit for connectivity. Support elements that resonate with the neighborhood and broader South Burlington community. • Promote the use of the Park in multiple seasons and for multiple generations. Provide opportunities for a wide spectrum of park visitors. • Establish a primary structure in the Park to act as a focal point for activities and to flexibly support events, educational outreach, agricultural operations and Park support functions. • Connect the Park to the South Burlington Recreation Path to maximize its integration into the overall park system. Assure that bicycle connectivity within the Park serves relevant uses such as a pump track or strider park. • Take advantage of possible on-street parking along Nowland Farm Road and avoid overbuilding parking within the Park. • Reuse existing trails to the degree possible and provide directional signage at all park access points. Maintain a diversity of trail forms; mowed paths, gravel, etc. to appeal to a wide spectrum of users. Guiding Principles The Vision Framework Based on the recommendations of the public and the Task Force, a Preferred Vision Framework plan has been prepared that illustrates these guiding principals for future development of the Underwood Park This preferred framework is by no means a master plan. It provides a general direction that future master planning efforts should consider. While it embodies the mix of uses and elements that most strongly resonated with the public and Task Force, future planning should seek more input and delve deeper into design of spaces. Detailed programs should be developed for a new “barn”. Restoration areas should be field verified to maximize environmental effectiveness. Above all, the guiding principles should be revisited through future processes to assure the spirit of the ideas explored during this effort are not lost. The work of the City is not complete, but this Vision Framework helps point the direction forward. Photo- Bernie Paquette Preferred Vision Framework Based on the recommendations of the public and the Task Force, SE Group prepared a Preferred Vision Framework plan that illustrated the key guiding principals for future development of the Underwood Park. Key attributes of this vision framework include: A primary and secondary entrance off Nowland Farm Road. The primary entrance services a “barn” complex for events, operations and support functions. The secondary entrance supports more active recreational features including an “outpost” with bathrooms, traditional and wild play areas, pump track and strider park and outdoor fields. Agriculture is maintained in relatively close proximity to the barn with peripheral areas outlined for “meadow” to preserve longer-range views. Restoration areas are focused along the southern property boundary to act as a visual buffer and maintain westward views within the property. Riparian restoration is focused along Munroe Brook. Stormwater feature is located along Spear Street to improve water quality within the watershed. [ 16 ] UNDERWOOD TOMORROW Preferred Vision Framework by the Numbers • Primary Structure/Barn Event Space: Approximately 2,000 Sq. ft. • Outpost Structure/Restrooms: Approximately 300 Sq. ft. • Meadow/Agriculture/Orchard Space: 8 Acres • Natural Resource Restoration: 12 Acres • Outdoor Fields: Approximately 4 Acres • Major Trails: 1.25 Miles • Minor Trails: 0.4 Miles • Recreation Path: 0.25 Miles • Brook Crossings/Bridges: 2 • Entry Road/Drop-Off: 0.2 Miles • Vehicle Access Points: 2 • Parking: Approximately 120 cars Primary Use Allocations UNDERWOOD PROPERTY | VISION FRAMEWORK[ 17 ] Through a formal motion the Task Force has fully supported the short-term strategies, while acknowledging the importance and need for the medium and long term strategies to continue to evolve as planning for the parcel moves forward. Implementation Strategies Short Term Strategies • Ensure short term uses do not compromise future opportunities on the site • Conduct natural resource inventories to better understand habitat considerations and where restoration would be most beneficial • Delineate restoration areas and restrict access to these areas • Complete mapping of the site (drainage, wetland delineation, etc.) • Maintain property and prevent natural succession where needed • Create mowed paths around primary circulation routes and enhance Recreation Path connection when possible • Clean up trails in the woods • Allow short term agricultural uses towards Spear Street • Define access points into the property and introduce designated parking areas early • Build informational kiosk about the future of the parcel to get users interested and keep momentum going • Introduce buffering vegetation so as things evolve they can do their job Medium Term Strategies • Complete Master Plan • Complete restoration projects • Build first multi-purpose fields to introduce active use of the parcel • Build strider park and pump track once the bike path connection is implemented • Build restroom facility • Build one brook crossing • Build wildplay/natural playground • Formalize Nordic skiing connection • Build Phase 1 Parking and vehicle circulation Long Term Strategies • Build barn/event space • Expand initial parking areas • Build second brook crossing • Build second multi-purpose field • Build treehouse • Extend formalized pathways as elements come online NEXT STEPS Photo- Bernie Paquette Photo- Bernie Paquette [ 18 ] NEXT STEPS Cost Implications At this stage in the planning and design process, exact costs can be difficult to ascertain. However, some rough, order of magnitude costs are provided to help inform decision making and future planning for the Property. Below are rough cost estimates for various aspects of the Park. These costs are expected to continue to evolve as the design for the park becomes further refined. Park infrastructure costs include elements such as the primary structure/barn, event lawn, access roads and parking areas, trails, brook crossings/bridges, and utilities. Natural Resource costs include restoration and on site stormwater management elements. The Agriculture costs include all agricultural activities, community gardens, and cutting garden. The Recreation costs include the open fields, natural and traditional play structures, treehouse, the pump track, and the strider park. Engineering and planning is estimated at approximately 30 percent of total project costs. The cost for the Neighborhood Stormwater Feature near Spear Street is provided separately, but cost savings could potentially be achieved by combining “on site” and “neighborhood” needs. Park Element Low High Park Infrastructure $1,300,000 $2,100,000 Natural Resource $200,000 $400,000 Agriculture $100,000 $200,000 Recreation $300,000 $500,000 Subtotal $1,700,000 $3,000,000 Neighborhood Stormwater Feature $220,000 $500,000 Engineering and Planning $600,000 $900,000 Grand Total $2,420,000 $4,400,000 Photo- Bernie Paquette South Burlington City Council Resolution on the Establishment of an East Terrace/Spear Street Neighborhood Preservation Task Force Whereas, the City Council of South Burlington, Vermont: Recognizes that, in recent years, investors have purchased many formerly owner‐occupied single‐family homes in the East Terrace/Spear Street neighborhood and converted them into rental properties occupied by unrelated adults, many of whom are students at the University of Vermont (UVM) or other local colleges; and is aware of and troubled by repeated allegations that many of these rentals are occupied by more than the four‐unrelated‐adult maximum permitted by the City’s land development regulations; Recognizes that, due to the high demand for housing in neighborhoods adjacent to the University of Vermont, such as the East Terrace/Spear Street neighborhood, investor owners can obtain gross monthly revenues in the range of $2,600 to $4,000 (or higher) per house; Recognizes that the potential for such revenues induces investors to pay premium prices for these single‐ family homes; Recognizes that most individual families seeking to purchase these homes for their own occupancy cannot match the premium prices that investors offer; Recognizes that, but for the premium prices investors are willing to pay, homes in this neighborhood would be affordable for many families seeking to live in South Burlington; Recognizes that these conversions have decreased the availability of affordable housing in the City; Recognizes that these conversions may reduce the sense of community in the neighborhood due to the fact that rental tenants, especially student tenants, are usually short term and less attached to their neighborhood and community than homeowners; Recognizes that these conversions may result in poor maintenance and upkeep of property (including lawns and structures) by tenants and/or absentee landlords; Recognizes that these conversions may result in on‐street parking in violation of the City’s parking ordinance for East Terrace due to the fact that, in most instances, each unrelated adult tenant owns an automobile and the driveways cannot accommodate all the tenants’ vehicles. Recognizes that the timing and incidence of excessive noise and disorderly behavior associated with some of these tenants’ social activities have a negative effect on the neighborhood’s quality of life; Recognizes that the increasing incidence of these conversions is of great concern to many homeowners in the neighborhood; and Shares the residents’ concerns about the impact of these conversions on the East Terrace/Spear Street neighborhood. Now therefore, be it RESOLVED that the City Council shall: (1) establish an East Terrace/Spear Street Neighborhood Preservation Task Force to research and assess ways by which new or modified City ordinances, land development regulations, enforcement practices, or other official actions might eliminate or decrease the number of conversions of owner‐occupied single‐ family houses to investor‐owned rentals to multiple unrelated adults in this neighborhood; and make recommendations to the City Council regarding which City actions it believes would be most effective in achieving this goal; (2) direct the Task Force to focus its recommendations solely on how to address this phenomenon in the East Terrace/Spear Street neighborhood (and not the whole City), which, due to its proximity to UVM, may require the establishment of a special Overlay District for this neighborhood; (3) seek recommendations for persons to serve on this task force from residents of the East Terrace/Spear Street neighborhood; from others in the City who have concerns about such conversions; and, in its discretion, other individuals; (4) appoint the members of this task force no later than April 30, 2015; and (5) request the task force to complete its work and make recommendations to the City Council no later than July 31, 2015.

Some of the proposed solutions are: Create a rental property registry, requiring the landlord to list names and employment status of their renters. Fees for this information could be imposed on each landlord with the fees helping to enforce the existing regulations regarding the number of unrelated persons in a single dwelling. In addition, the landlord can be made responsible for upkeep of the property, and neighbors will have a contact person for neighborhood disturbances. Require landlords, for reasons of safety, to obtain a fire certificate for each rental property. Failure to do such could be punished by a fine or loss of permitted use. Create an overlay district which specifies how closely rental properties can be spaced or sets an overall number for the overlay district. Revise the definition of “family”, clarify the non‐related persons regulation, or reduce the number of non‐related persons allowed. Issue two parking permits per established family. This has been successful in Burlington. Require the landlord to provide adequate on‐site parking for each tenant, without losing an entire lawn for this purpose. Restrict building permits for additional units in existing houses when on‐site parking is insufficient. Include a $100 post‐construction inspection fee in building permits which include additional bedrooms to check for structural integrity of the modifications Revise zoning for the neighborhood (currently R4), or revise R4 land development regulations (LDRs). Lower the number of unrelated adults permitted in a single household to two or three Explore regulations relating to coverage in front yard that can be made into a driveway Limit number of cars, of greater than three, to number to no more than the number of adults in the household. Formalize / suggest improvements to the process for the handling of neighborhood complaints. More robust enforcement of existing regulations: on‐street parking, noise, and occupancy. Support neighborhood associations and give them enforcement capabilities. Fees for enforcement – target offending tenants or landlords? Should owner‐occupied rental properties and mother‐in‐law apartments be exempt from this and other fees and regulations??? Information from SB Grand List regarding Absentee Ownership of Houses on East Terrace and Northern Spear Street In summary, 23 of the 67 (34%) single‐family residential housing units on East Terrace are absentee‐owned and 12 of the 35 (34%) single‐family residential housing units (one may be a duplex) on Spear Street between Main Street/Williston Road and Quarry Hill Road are absentee owned.

RICHFIELD LANE COLCHESTER 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4107 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com TO: Kevin Dorn, City Manager FROM: Ilona Blanchard, Project Director SUBJECT: City Center TIF Investment Policy DATE: March 13, 2015 BACKGROUND: Over the next seven years, the City will have the opportunity to invest 23.2 million dollars in private sector projects that the City would not provide elsewhere in South Burlington. These funds would be raised through public financing that is “double barreled”; i.e. bond that are backed by future TIF District tax increment revenues, but also back by the full faith and credit of the City; otherwise known as general obligation bonds against the property tax base. This is approximately 40% of the potential increment expenditures. The City has also identified 31.7 million dollars of potential increment expenditures as fulfilling downtown infrastructure needs to create the community envisioned downtown for which the City has secured the TIF District. Many of these projects also provide direct benefit to private projects; e.g., Market Street. Some provide network capacity for new development but may not be part of a public private partnership, such as improvements to Midas Drive, recreational path improvements, water system upgrades; others create value for adjacent developments such as high quality parks and public facilities. These combined represent the remaining approximately 60% of potential increment expenditures. How will the City ensure that public monies spent on private projects are not subsidizing projects that do not meet the goals and extensive planning and visioning work of the public? How will the City ensure that the tax payers do not end up paying for improvements that result in no appreciable tax revenues? How will the City ensure that we are not moving tenants from one part of the City to another, raising tax revenues in one place Background, Continued, Page 2 while lowering them in another? How will the increment be set aside for community infrastructure that is critical to the downtown character but not directly within a private development? Will the process be transparent and developers be giving an equal opportunity to qualify for funding? These are all important questions. Fortunately, the City is not alone in administering a TIF District. 49 States enable TIF Districts. Many cities have multiple TIF Districts throughout their communities and use it as a principle form of financing public infrastructure to obtain community goals. Many these communities also have established TIF district policies, applications for funding, and project review processes. Independent policy analysis has been conducted to study these policies and their effects on the community and broader tax base. While every state’s enabling statute, regulatory framework, development pattern and program is different, there are some commonalities across TIF Districts. These include the following: Funded projects are those that align with and achieve the community vision or goals. Projects meet a ‘but for’ statement. They are projects that would not be possible without the public support because they are above and beyond what the market supports. The TIF only provides “gap” funding. Funded applicants are those that are able and capable of holding up their end of the deal and that provide a security that they will build their project as planned and on schedule. Projects and performance are monitored. Staff has reviewed the many policy documents related to City Center visioning which have been either adopted or are in draft form. These include the TIF District Plan, the Comprehensive Plan (draft and adopted), and the adopted and proposed Land Use Regulations. A policy framework has been attached for discussion purposes as the next step in developing a policy. The policy recommendations are distinct from a regulation in that a regulation sets the lowest common denominator, whereas the policy would establish a threshold that rewards excellence while protecting the public interest. Background, Continued, Page 3 ATTACHMENTS: TIF Policy Framework The TIF District Plan is available on www.sburl.com from the TIF/City Center portion of the website. RECOMMENDATION: Listen to the presentation and ask questions. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION: The State requires that if the City is to incur debt financed by the TIF District, South Burlington will need to do so prior to March of 2017, and will only have five subsequent years during which to use this financing tool. The City may only ask voters to vote on the same proposal to use TIF District financing twice in a calendar year. Framework for a TIF Policy 1 Draft | 3‐12‐2015 Policy Question Purpose Options How to Establish “But For” threshold Avoid subsidizing development that would otherwise occur without City investment; creating uneven markets; robbing Peter to pay Paul. a) Use community values to develop a South Burlington/Burlington suburban real estate market baseline using existing regional development examples as thresholds (FAR, design investment, vertical mixed‐use, affordable housing, etc.) b) Use analysis of balance sheet & annual open books monitoring with built in claw backs/revenue sharing for higher returns than standard Is there a board of citizens that makes a recommendation Do the heavy lifting for the Council in terms of analysis a) A panel of experts vis‐à‐vis the filters b) Multiple panels – one for financial, one for architectural, etc. c) Use existing panel and internal/external analysis reports on each project. d) Staff completes review of administrative items, flags items which require expert interpretation.
