Box 2074 South Burlington, Vermont 05401 1,:ay 15, 1979 South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington City Hall Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Sirs: The directors of the Forest Park Condominium Association would like to alert you about our concerns in reference to the present developments now being constructed around our complex. These concerns are as follows: 1. We object to a proposed roadway along -our Western property line. This would reduce the treed buffer zone between our property line and that of Twin Oaks, therefore seriously effecting the privacy now enjoyed by members of this association. If any type of road is constructed near or in the trees, we would antici- pate the loss of most of the trees due to destruction and disturbance of their root systems. 2. We are concerned about a road bordering our South mast perimeter. That road, now a marshland, would seriously disrupt our storm drainage at its South - East extremity. This drainage problem is critical for both developments and should be resolved before any real construction begins in these areas. 3. The proposed tie into Timber Lane would add to already existing traffic conjestion on that street and the hazardous conditions at the Intersections of Timber Lane and Kennedy Drive. We would appreciate your consideration of these issues and a response at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, BO RD OF DIR CTORS, FPCA Philli Atwood, Pres. rdg l Oil/ D O S May 24, 1979 Mr. Phillip Atwood P.O. Box 2079 South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Mr. Atwood: Thank you for your letter of May 15, 1979. All three issues you mentioned will be given careful -consideration during subdivision review. We anticipate that a revised plan for Twin Oaks Condominiums will be submitted in the near future; we also expect a preliminary plan for development of the former Tilley property (directly to the south of Forest Park Condcaniniums) to be submitted soon. The developers of both properties have been given copies of your letter, and I have urged them to be prepared to resolve your concerns, and to meet with you prior to the hearings, if necessary. You will be notified by mail when the hearings for both projects are to be held.

T expected the same professional conduct from you. I fully expected that before you would violate our trust and confidence in you that you would resign as our counsel. Let me once again explain our rational behind our actions as you do not seem to appreciate the facts in this situation as I have heard the very intimate details of our relationships directly from many sources in the community including several competitors and I am fully aware that the source of this information is you. The turning point in our relationship came when I disclosed to you that we had acquired building permits from the City of South Burlingtin with the understanding that the necessary paper- work would follow shortly thereafter. The only two areas being undecided were the,retention of sewage capacity in the pumping station and releases from Dimeo on the parcels to be deeded to the city. In a conversation with Richard Ward, Zoning Administrator, who issued the permits, I found out that you had contacted him and complained about the issuance of these permits without the sewage pumping station actually being deed to the City. Mr. Ward was confused as to why our attorney would be concerned about us receiving building permits at a time when it was critical to our development to acquire these permits. At that point I confronted you and you denied ever complaining about the issuance of these permits. I knew then that you were not representing our best interest but rather were taking a very protective stance with regard to the position of Hickok & Boardman. In the same telephone conversation I asked you a question concerning the ability of the City Manager to commit the capacity of the sewage pumping station as I thought that this was the function of -2- the City Council. You told me that the City Manager may have been granted special powers in these matters and that you would research this and get back to me with an answer. After this time I did not ask you to represent me in any matter concerning our permits with South Burlington or any other matter to do with the sewage pumping station. ?Je, as a partnership, agreed to retain you for the purpose of our loan closing only since you had already done title and secured title insurance and we felt that this activity would in no way compromise your relationship with your other client. It is unfortunate for us that you did not resign prior to your confrontation with South Burlington about our permits and that you carried on under the guise of never making that confrontation; apparently to protect the interest of Hickok & Boardman as it was clear that you had a definite conflict at that point. This still left us a problem of protecting our interest in the sewage pumping station so we sought legal advice on this matter, which contrary to your letter we are not compelled to notify you of such a decision. Edward J. Cashman acted as our lawyer in this matter and his decision was that the best way to protect the sewage capacity of the pumping station was to include a restriction in the deed and he also felt that we would be able to deed the pumping station to the City with such a restriction in place, All the partners were in agreement with this approach and Mr. Cashman's office prepared a new deed to reflect these changes. Your letter infers that I tried to have these documents recorded without notifying you of these changes, I could not, at that point, trust you. -and I did not feel that I must notify you of our business decisions. I turned the document over to the City pointing out to Richard [card that we had changed the deed in question and that it must be reviewed by Dick Spokes prior to filing. I also pointed out to Dick Ward that it was not our intention to cause a problem with the City and we only wanted to protect our legal rights. The thing that bothers me the most, Peter, is that you breached our trust and did not notify us of your intent. Then, upon finding out that we had sought other legal advice and upon this legal advice we changed some original document from your office, you felt it necessary to not only notify us, but to notify anyone that might have an interest in this project, in such a manner as to depict me as being underhanded and not to be trusted. This caused great injury to my reputation and several delays in our project. I can assure you that neither myself nor my partners take this action on your part lightly and plan to take the paths available to us to rectify this matter. Very truly yours, Gerald C .

Box 2074 South Burlington, Vermont 05401 October 21, 1978 South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington City Hall Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Sirs: Forest Park Condominium Association objects to the placement of a roadway by the owner of the Twin Oaks multi -family housing development twenty two(22)lk feet from this Association's western property line. Our objections are for the following reasons: 1. Reducing the treed buffer zone between the two properties by any amount will seriously effect the privacy now enjoyed by members of this Association. 2. The presence of the trees preserves and enhances the individuality and identity of each of the two projects. Reducing this buffer zone jeopardizes that identity and individuality. 3. If the road is constructed according to plans as we understand them we anticipate the loss of most of the trees in the buffer zone due to destruction and disturbance of their root systems by adjacent road construction activity. We would appreciate your consideration of these issues and a written response at your earliest convenience. ry r oar d o Xirectors, FPCA Fred Horton, President Forest Park Condominium Association P.O. Box 2074 South Burlington, Vermont 05401 October 21, 1978 South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington City Hall Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Sirs: This Association, Forest Park Condominium Association, objects to the change of ownership of the Twin Oaks Housing Development because the change appears to nullify previous agreements between the former developer and the Directors of this Association. In the spring of 1978, having been made aware of the intention of Twin Oaks Developers to place a perimeter roadway along our western property limits, Forest Park Condominium Association contacted the developer, THA Inc. of Waitsfield. Mr. Fred Horton, President of the Board of FPCA spoke several times with fir. Michael Ram, project manager for the developer. They discussed the Association's concerns which were as follows: 1. That the proposed roadway shown on the site plans appeared to encroach into the treed buffer zone between FPCA and the development. 2. That the new road and proposed building locations south west of our property would be in a marsh land and would seriously disrupt storm drainage from our property at its south west extremity. Mr. Ram assured Mr. Horton in the end that: 1. The perimeter road would be placed outside the existing treed buffer zone; 2. The resolution of the drainage problem was indeed critical for both the new development and FPCA and would be remedied with an approved solution prior to any construction activity; 3. Phases 2 $ 3 of the development were far enough in the future to allow formal resolution of our concerns with proper documentation by both FPCA and THA Inc. This Association has no assurances from the new owner of the proposed development that the agreed upon actions noted above will be honored. Thus we must object to the change of ownership.

Box 2074 South Burlington, Vermont 05401 October 21,1978 South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington City Hall Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Sirs: Forest Park Condominium Association wishes to be on record at this time as being in objection to the proposed roadway through woodlands adjacent to our southern property line. Our objections are based upon the following reasons: 1. That the noise and traffic along the proposed road will substantially reduce the feeling of privacy and the peace and quiet now enjoyed by members of this Association. 2. Construction activity within the right of way now sought by the city will substantially reduce the treed buffer zone between our perimeter road and the edge of the proposed pavement due to disturbance of the existing root systems. 3. The proposed tie into Timber Lane would unduly add to already existing traffic congestion on that street and it will increase the hazardous conditions now existing at the intersection of Timber Lane and Kennedy Drive. 4. The creation of a new roadway will aggravate an already existing problem with our storm drainage unless appropriate measures are taken. 5. The present marshy forest environment is a narrow strip of'natural wilderness bounded by I-89 on the one side, cut by a power line easement and bordered on the other side by dense housing. It is of utmost importance to preserve the sylvan character of what remains, by not encroaching upon it any further. 6. We believe that the creation of a roadway through this forest will disrupt the flora, fauna and wildlife of this region. We would appreciate your consideration of these issues and a written response at your earliest convenience.

Access to the "back" lot is via a 20' ROW to the south of the existing house. TI)is access is adequate until the Dorset -Hinesburg connector is built; at that time, the ease- ment should be extinguished and the driveway relocated from Hines- burg Road to the connector. Sewer and water plans (including asse- ments) should accompany the final plat. 7 eP PRo r3 `'• �� • �T. O 2 I O dr.3 j :�LL r3 �NORM}{ #5 Twin ©a?:s Revised Final F; - The following revisions are proposed to a previously approved 3 phase, 184 unit apartment project: 1) conversion from apartments to condominiums. 2) increase parking from 111 to 2 spaces per unit, including one covered space per unit, and revised parking lot layout. 3) unit types are now all two bedroom (an increase in total bedrooms from 348 to 368). Memorandum Next Meeting's Agenda Items 10/20/78 Page 2 These revisions apply to Phase I (80 units) only; Planning Commission review shall be required for the similar revisions anticipated for subsequent phases. The developer's plans have been reviewed by the Fire Chief, City Manager, and myself. The vast majority of changes we have suggested are minor engineering details. The more substantive issues include school impact, improved parking lot and shelters layout, and expiration of Phase I approval and proposed phasing schedule. I am satisfied that these matters will be fully re- solved at or before Tuesday's meeting. #6 Chittenden Cider Mill Additiona An 11,000 sq. ft. addition is planned, of which about 80. is devoted to the wholesale produce and cider making operation, and the balance will be retail sales area. The addition will replace the existing 4,000 sq. ft. structure closest to the road. This plan was granted a variance to the front yard setback requirement from 75' to 30'. Access, via two --existing curb cuts, is O.K.-circulation and parking would be improved by extending the grave'�ed parking area to the south. Because of existing vegetation on site, I believe a waiver is warranted, although some new plantings should be re- quired, to complement the new structure, because it is so large and so close to the road (i.e., perhaps '1 of the required land- scaping). -- E:;, \ TIE / C)" 1/\,t� M E M O_R A N _D—U M To: South Burlington Planning Com,Assion From: William J.

Main Street Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 Attention: Mr. Duff Re: Dear Mr. Duff: October 24, 1978 Tw:.n Oaks Condominiums off Kennedy Drive, So. Burlington Phase 1 I have reviewed the set of plans submitted by you dated 10/11/78, revised10/17/78, for the referenced project; and in response to your request, I have the following comments regarding water supply system. 1. General layout and main line ripe location is accept- able as shown for Phase 1. 2. The water supply point at the existing 8" main ser- vicing the indoor tennis center is an acceptable tap -on point. 3. The present flow capacity and volume at the supply point is not adequate for fire fighting requirements for your planned Phase 1 clusters 1, 2 & 3. 4. The water line size of 8" as shown on page 4 of the drawings is not large enough to supply required fire .flows for the project. 5. The Water Department's preliminary approval is contin- gent upon reinforcing the available water supply at the supply point, and installing pipe of greater than 8" diameter in the development mainline distribution system. 6. Prior to tccupancy of the condominiums, you will be required to have in service a 12" water line from Dorset Street, connecting to the present 8" service main to the i Kessel/Duff -2- tennis center. This 12" line will tie into an existing 14" line on Dorset Street; and could have alternate routes, either across the Brand property from the west, or along the north side of Kennedy Drive, whichever you elect. The main line for water distribution within the proposed complex will be a minimum of 10" diameter, and will. continue throughout phase 1, 2 & 3 at that si:e. Prior to construction of p$'ases 2 or 3, this 10" main shall be looped back onto the north side of Kennedy drive into the existing 12" Line. This approval is riven with the understanding that all required,hydr ants and valves will be installed along the lines, and that all construction will be done and materials furnished in full compliance with the South Burlington Water Department Specifications, dated March 8, 1978. Submittal of Proposed constructio drawings in detail will be required prior to final approval of his project water supply system. Very truly yours, SOU'.rf-T BURLINGTON WATER DEPT .

CONSTRUCTION AND MANAGEMENT ROUTE 100 WAUMELD, TERMONT 05673 TELEPHONE 802 - 496-3121 October 2, 1978 Steve Page Planning Assistant City of South Burlington 1175 Williston Rd. South Burlington, VT 05401 RE: TWIN OAKS PROJECT Dear Steve: Pursuant to our telephone conversation of September 29th, I am requesting the extention of approvals for construction of Phase I on the project from calander year 1978 to the calander year 1979. Phase II and III would presumably be shifted to the preauthorized calander year 1980. The reason we have been delayed to date on the project, is the interminable delays we have experienced with the H.U.D. bureau- cracy. Perhaps the single most exasperating delay was caused by the local H.U.D. multi -family office being transferred last Spring to the regional office in Manchester, New Hampshire. The effect of this action was having to start the project almost from the beginning again with all new people since the staff from the local office either retired or did not make the transition to Manchester. In essence we have been delayed in starting the project thru events not easily within our knowledge or direct control. I trust this information will add insight to our problem, and allow for the necessary extensions requested. Any questions please contact me. Respectfplly, Frank W. Avlling FWA/sg cc: A J Babcock
