properties starting at the corner, if it can be done without additional cost.
Mrs. Maher favored going from the access to the end of the property line and
having the city do the rest. Mr. Jacob said he would like to see the walk start
at the corner.
Mr. Jacob moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the
preliminary plat application by Gerald Milot and Daniel O'Brien for a 29 unit
planned development as depicted on a plat entitled "Bourdeau Rye Properties,
zpatrick-Llewellyn Inc., dated August 9, 1983
subject to the following stipulations:
1. The southwest corner of parcel B should be located outside the main
entrance or an easement conveyed at the time of sale of parcel B.
2. Sewer allocation is to be phased in accordance with the sewer policy
developed by the Planning Commission.
a) 5,000 gallons per day - Phase I
b) 2,250 gallons per day - Phase II
3. A sidewalk shall be provided from the corner of Kennedy Drive to the
driveway for this development, or across the frontage of the property as
determined by the Planning Commission.
4. An area for storage of boats and trailers should be designated.
5. Both existing driveways should be closed.
6. All required legal documents including private road agreement, utility
easement and condominium bylaws, shall be submitted as part of the final plat application.
7. Lot size of parcel B should be adjusted to allow for maximum density on
parcel A.
Mrs. Maher seconded the motion.
Mr. Poger noted that the 5,000 gpd had already been allocated and that the
2,250 would go on the sewer waiting list as #4. Mr. Burgess noted that it did not
have to be parcel B which was adjusted to get the required acreage in #7. More
land from the rear can be added, if the developer wants to do it that way.
The motion passed unanimously.
Public hearing on revised final plat application of Valley Ridge (College Woods)_
Patchen Road
Mr. Ward said a couple of units would be changed to duplexes and some regrading
done. There is no problem with either. Mr. O'Brien said this would result in the
same number of units, but more open space. Mrs. Maher said she would personally
check to be sure the number of trees remained the same or increased.
Mr. Jacob moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the
final plat application by O'Brien Brothers Agency, Inc., for a 3-lot subdivision
with one lot containing a 35 unit residential development on Patchen Road, as
depicted on 1 a survey plat entitled "Valley Ridge Site Plan" and an eight page
plan set entitled "Valley Ridge Site Plan" prepared by Fitzpatrick -Llewellyn
Associates, stamped August 17, 1983, and 2 a landscaping plan entitled "College
Woods", prepared by Mt. Philo Meadows, dated May 4, 1983, subject to the following
stipulations:
5.
PLANNING COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 6. 1983
1. Internal streets shall be limited to parking on one side and shall be
signed accordingly. Also, the "overflow" parking area shall be signed as visitor
parking._
2. A legal right-of-way across parcel B shall be provided to serve parcel A.
3. Signed legal documents to be approved b the City Attorney shall be
submitted prior to recording of the final plat. Draft documents for ownership and
maintenance of the land shall also be submitted for the City Attorney's approval
4. Bonding for landscaping ($9,000) and public utilities ( as determined by
the City Engineer) shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit
5. The following approvals must still be obtained:
a) Water department approval.
b) Revised street light location as approved by the City Manager
and which shall include a light on Patchen Road at the entrance to the development.
c School bus turnaround dimensions as approved by the City Planner
with input from the School Department
6. The pedestrian easement shall be marked on the plan as "approximate
location."
7. Sewer allocation for this project is 12,600 gpd
8. Recreation fee for this project is $875, or $24.30 per unit.
9. A revised final plat, containing required changes from stipulations 5,
6 and 11 shall be submitted to and approved by the City Planner and shall be
recorded within 90 days.
10.. The name of the development is changed from"College Woods" to "Valley
Ridge".
11. Sidewalks will be 4 feet wide with a separation of 5 feet between
sidewalk and curb.
12. This approval expires in three years.
Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Public hearing on final plat application of Ethan Allen Farm, Poor Farm Road
and Country Club Drive
Mr. John Belter stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
Mr. Roger Dickinson, representing Mr. Belter, said the plan had been
revised to detail the construction of the water line, which location has been
approved by the Water Department. The plan has also been reviewed by the Fire
Chief and hydrants located where he requested. A road cross section has been added.
Haul Road will be 20' wide with 3' shoulders.
Mr. Brennan, a resident of Country Club Estates, suggested that it might
be better if the water line were put under the power easement so the bank would
not be impacted as much. The developer was asked to check this with the Water
Department. Mr. Brennan gave the Commission a letter from the City Councils

The application is being presented now to correct the previous
oversight. I am not aware of any substantive issues.
5) College Woods
The details of this application were presented at the September
14th meeting. However, due to a warning error by my office, pre-
liminary plat action could not take place until this meeting. The
following are the proposed stipulations of approval based on last
meeting's discussion:
1) Internal streets shall be widened to a paved width of 24
feet with 3 foot gravel shoulders on each side. In addition, the
entrance street shall be widened to a paved width of 30 feet, and a
schoolbus turn -around and shelter shall be provided.
2) The need for walkways shall be reconsidered during Final
Plat review.
3) Ownership of the sewage pumping station and force main shall
be determined at Final Plat review.
4) Draft legal documents - including utility easements, private
street waivers, a pedestrian trail easement, homeowner's association
bylaws (if applicable) - shall be submitted as part of the Final Plat
application.
6) Rotisserie
Comments were sent in last week's package.

Re: Next week's agenda items

2) Cota
Property is located on Patchen Road across from the landfill
and is currently occupied by a sign shop and other small businesses.
The Zoning Board recently granted a multiple -use and front yard
setback (75' to 67') variance for a 2-story, 30'x60' building.
Specific uses have not been determined but could include small
manufacturing and office operations.
Parking appears sufficient. Traffic and access should not be
a problem. The property could well benefit from some landscaping -
this should be added to the plan. Also, the top of the bank should
be marked on the plan to ensure that all proposed building and park-
ing areas are usable.
3) V.L. Properties
A review by Prof. Oppenlander and an additional report by
Fitzpatrick-Llewllyn on traffic issues are enclosed.
I feel that the Planning Commission has two choices: (1) You
can review this project on its own. Under this approach, the
differences between the applicant's engineer and the City's con-
sultant would have to be resolved, and then this applicant could
proceed after agreeing to make several limited traffic improvements.
(2) The second choice, which both Prof.Oppenlander and I recommend,
is that a study be done by the City to evaluate specific improvements
for the Dorset Street corridor from Williston Road to Kennedy Drive.
The study can becompleted by approximately November 1. I would re-
commend an initial work session, to be held on Tuesday, September 21,
to discuss "planning parameters" for the study. All affected parties -
including V.L. Properties, Corporate Circle, University Mall, and the
City - would be invited to participate.
(4) College Woods
The layout is essentially the same as at sketch plan. The
Zoning Board has approved a setback variance to allow construction
to within 45 feet from the Interstate fence.
The two major questions at this time concern (1) street standards
and maintenance and (2) utilities.
Memorandum

Private streets have never before been approved for a single-
family development (except for the temporary approval at Meadow -
wood at Spear). This concept will only work if the land is in
single ownership as proposed. We may have to explore legal options
for stipulating new maintenance responsibilities if ownership changes.
Even if private ownership of streets is approved, they may have
to be designed to allow for future public maintenance. A usable
precedent is the ring road in the Stonehedge Development which includes
a 24 foot wide paved street with 3 foot shoulders on either side,
all constructed to City standards, plus a reduced setback (5' in
Stonehedge, perhaps 10' here) from a 60' wide right-of-way. Sidewalks
should be considered. Also, off street parking spaces may have to be
shown on the plan.
Landscaping requirements also should be similar to a condominium
development.
Utilities also will be critical in determining the feasibility
of this project. Many questions on water pressure, sewer flow, etc.
cannot be fully answered until engineering review as part of the
final plat procedure.
5) Claussen's
Application is for use of an existing building (previously a gas
station) on a portion of the Pappas property on Shelburne Road. Mid-
way Oil's application for a gas station and convenience store at this
location was turned down last October (see enclosed minutes).
Traffic volume has been difficult to evaluate because of the
seasonal nature of the business. I hope to have additional information
prior to Tuesday's meeting. This may also affect parking requirements.
Pappas's property has four curb cuts (2 for the restaurant and
2 for this building) within 250 feet of road frontage. Several of
those curb cuts should be consolidated.
6) Portland Glass
Application is for an 80'x120' building for the storage and
sale of glass, metal, and related products. The uses must also be
approved by the Zoning Board under conditional use review.
The building will be located on Lot 1 of LTH's Bartlett Property
development. The access is 250' from Shelburne Road as stipulated.
Customer traffic is expected to be very low. Also, there are a total
of 14 employees, 8 company trucks, and deliveries 2-4 times per week.
This should not be a heavily traveled site.
I still need further information on the extent of cut and fill
operations. Also, the size of the culvert under the driveway should
be checked.

4) ollege Woods
1) A 22 foot wide street is too narrow, especially when it
has as many curves as proposed. I would recommend 24' width and
3' shoulders on each side. However, my preference would be city
standard 30' with curbs and city maintained.
2) Storm drain inlets are almost useless on a street without
curbs as there is no way to control and direct runoff toward them.
3) Sewage pumping station and force main shall remain in private
ownership.
4) A culvert pipe is needed at entrance to Patchen Road.
5) Since the streets are to remain private, a school bus
will not enter the development , but must pickup children on
Patchen Road. A children's standing area, bus shelter, bus turn-
around area, and sidewalks, must all be considered.
5) Claussen's, 1090 Shelburne Road
1) The shop can best be served by the large curb opening on
Baldwin Avenue. The two curb cuts on Shelburne Road can be closed.
If this is done parking spaces may be rearranged toward Shelburne
Road.
2) If outside sale of plants is anticipated, the sale area
should be shown.

2) Bartlett
The final plat for this application is now (I hope) properly warned. Engineer-
ing and other details have largely been completed to the satisfaction of the City
Manager andfm self. A few small items - street names, landscaping budget, etc. -
must still be resolved.
Water department has approved the plans_--Fire--Chiefs letter is -enclosed.
Legal documents are still being -reviewed:
A number of drainage questions have -been -'raised. The applicant's engineer
has done some detailed calculations, and this information can be discussed at
Tuesday's meeting if requested.
Due to the very large scale of the proj:,ct, approvals should be valid for
several years.
3) O'Brien, Patchen Road
Site is located on Patchen Road west of I-89 in the area _previously design_,tr:
as a mobile home district. The proposed development, in fact, follow- closely
that zoning. 35 modular homes plus one existing dwelling would be lc/:ated on .
portion (estimated at 10 acres) of a 31 acre site. The balan_ of lard is E
marginally us nna aifficulfAccess. Build
be so ci to individual residents but ownership of land will remain with t.heJdeve?.:.JV,,r
Street:; will be private and will be designed similar to condominium projects (one
note: proposed street widths should be increased from 22' to 241).
The developer is requesting one key variance, a reduction of the intersta t-setback from 150' to approximately 40 or 50 feet.
Because of a very high ridge (which will not be distrubed) between the proposed
unit: and I-89, the units will be totally screened even at the lesser setback. My
recommendation is that the variance be granted since the 150 foot setback provides
little added protection in this case.
4) Photo Kiosk
This application was denied last month. The Planning Commission must first
decide whether sufficient new evidence has been submitted to warrant reconsideration.
The applicant has submitted a new site plan,. drawn to scale by an engineering
firm, covering a larger portion of the site and adjacent properties. The one change
of substance is that the kiosk has been moved from the center to the east end of
the same island thereby allowing stacking without interference for 2 cars rather
than the previous. 1 car.
The applicant also has : _IbilittF,d a letter estimating previous traffic at Home
Emporium which was located within ti,e Merrill Theatre complex vpproximately 1 year
ago.

Pursuant to our conversation and your inquiry, be advised
that the maintenance and repair of the private roadway will be
an obligation of a homeowners association set up in a normal
condominium situation, and appropriate assessments will be
included in the condominium dues. At least initially, the
homeowners association will retain O'Brien Brothers Agency,
Inc. as the management firm to accomplish the continuing repair
and replacement as well as providing services such as
snowplowing, etc. Since we are dealing with a standard
condominium situation, it is my understanding that this letter
will suffice for purposes of final plat approval. If Dick
desires to review my actual documentation prior to recordation,
I certainly have no qualms about that and in fact would be
delighted to have his expertise in the form of comments.

Re: Traffic Impacts
Attached to this memo are copies of the following:
1. Seven-day traffic count on Patchen Road dated June 8 - June 139 1977
by the Vermont State Highway Department. The location of this count
is midblock between Richard Terrace and Kirby Road.
2. Five-day traffic count at the I-89 bridge dated April 29 - May 3,
1983 by FitzPatrick-Llewellyn, Incorporated.
3. Unsignalized intersection capacity analysis.
The present ADT on Patchen Road in the vicinity of this project was
estimated, based on our traffic counts, to be 4400 VPD. Using State Highway
Department information, the DHV of a general highway having an ADT of 4400 VPD
is estimated at 600 VPH. This appears to be conservative, as the highest ob-
served traffic volume was 533 VPH on Friday, April 29th between 4:00 P.M. and
5:00 P.M.
were estimated
P.M. peak hour traffic volumes generated by the proposed projectrusing the
ITE Informational Report, "Trip Generation". For a single family detached unit
the trip generation rates were 0.7 VPH/unit entering and 0.4 VPH/unit exiting.
These rates were multiplied by 36 units and distributed north & south using
the existing directional patterns to generate the turning movement volumes
at the proposed intersection during the P.M. peak hour.
As is shown in the capacity analysis, the projected levels'of service of
all approaches remains at Level of Service "B" or better.
The resulting increase in the DHV in each direction on Patchen Road from
this Project is 3.3%.

From: Raymond J. Belair, Zoning and Planning Assistant
Re: Applications for Additions to Residences
Date: December 14, 1995
A Valley Ridge resident contacted staff seeking information on the
procedure for obtaining a zoning permit to construct an addition to
his residence. Staff reviewed the entire file for any indication
as to how the Planning Commission expected requests for additions
to be handled. No mention was made in this regard.
Staff discovered a letter dated 2/19/85 from former City Planner
Jane Bechtel to Dan O'Brien allowing him to construct either two
(2) detached units or one (1) duplex on lots 31 and 33. The plans
attached to the request showed building envelopes (no building
footprint) which were 25 feet from the road and 30 feet from the
nearest building.
Staff concluded from this letter that the exact location of the
building footprint was not as important as maintaining the 25 foot
setback from the road and the 30 foot distance from any building.
Therefore, zoning permits for additions, garages, etc. will be
approved as long as they meet the above setbacks.

Final plat application by O:Brien Brothers Agency,'Inc., for a 3 lot :subdivision
and 36 unit residential development on Patchen Road west of I-89
Mr. Page represented the O'Brien brothers. He said the name would be changed
from College Woods. Parcel A is for the existing single family dwelling, B is
for the new units, and C will be retained by the O'Briens.
35 pre -fabricated units will be placed on the 13 acre site. They will be
served by private utilities and streets. Streets will be 24' with curbs.The
entrance road will be 30' wide and a turnaround and pull-out for the school bus
will be provided. They feel the best area to provide pedestrian access to the
river is along the western boundary of the land - this will be a pedestrian trail.
The units will have two bedrooms and Mr. O'Brien felt they would be occupied
by people over 50. They may also be used as starter homes.
Mr. Page asked about the sidewalk question. He noted that it was 600' to
the Interstate bridge, and about 1300' further to Kirby Road. At $7 per foot for
sidewalk, that would be quite an expense for 35 units. Mr. Jacob noted that the
Commission had been fighting with the city for 5 years over sidewalks. To ask
the developer to do what the city would not was asinine, he felt. Mr. Poger was
not sure one was needed at this location. Mr. Mona felt one should be extended
to the bridge. Mr. Woolery mentioned a new topcoat over the existing base
beside the road. Sidewalks inside the development were mentioned, not necessarily
of concrete. Mr. O'Brien said that if walks were put on the internal streets,
part of the lawn area would be taken up and the area would look much smaller.
Mrs. Maher agreed walks were not needed internally. Mr. O'Brien said parking
could be restricted to one side of the road. There will be 2 parking spaces per
unit provided, and adding small shared parking areas was mentioned.
Mr. Mona moved to have a sidewalk on the west side of the entrance road
in front of units 25 and 26 and then passing between units 33 and 34. Mrs. Maher
seconded the motion. Mr. O'Brien said he had no objection.
Mrs. Trainer said she lived on Grove Street in Burlington. She felt the
units were too close together and that they would become starter homes, which
would generate a lot of traffic going toward Winooski.
Mrs. Hurd noted that there were parks in the area and that if families with
young children lived in these units they would be traveling to the parks. She
moved to amend the motion to say that there be a sidewalk on the east side from
the intersection to the northwest boundary along Patchen Road. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Mr. Webb said he lived in Burlington and was concerned about traffic coming
out of Burlington into South Burlington at high speeds.
Mr. Mona's motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Spitz noted that unit 18 was placed in front of two other units and he
was not sure that was desirable. Mr. Woolery suggested eliminating unit 18 and
making one of the other units a duplex. Mr. Poger wanted to have traffic counts
for Patchen Road as it is now. Mr. Spitz said there were some items outstanding
still. He noted that the right of way left to parcel C was not suitable for future

Mr. Jacob moved to continue the public hearing on the O'Brien Brothers, Inc.
subdivision until two weeks from tonight, May 10, at 7:30 pm at City Hall.
Mrs. Maher seconded the motion and all voted aye.
Site plan application by Priscilla and Gerals LePage for a beauty salon and
Possible office at 40 Patchen Road
Mrs. LePage said they would move the entrance drive away from the intersection
on White Street. The drive will be 20' wide, leading to a gravel lot for 14 - 15
cars. She said her peak time of business probably produced about 10 cars, so she
felt this would be plenty of parking. The large tree in the middle of the lot
plus the line of sugar maples along the back line will be retained. There will
be a minimum of a 17' wide grass strip between the parking lot and White St.
A barrier will be placed between this lot and the one next to it on Patchen Road.
Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the
site plan application by Priscilla and Gerald LePage for a beauty salon as
depicted on a plan entitled "Proposed Beadty Salon, 40 Patchen Road" prepared
by Pr;ce;lln r.PPnvP_ rint.p(j 4 26 8`5. subject to the following stipulations:
1. The existing curb opening shall be closed and any disturbed road -pave-
ment patched The new curb shall be a paved concrete depressed curb.
2. Plans for parking lot drainage shall be submitted to and approved by
the City Engineer.
3. I_n the northwest portion of the parking lot, one space shall be removed
and two others lengthened so as to provile a minimum depth of 18 feet per parking
space.
4. Ypstairs office use is not approved at this time. Traffic volume from
the beauty salon shall be evaluated before the additional office space may be
approved.
5. Bonding for landscaping (3600) and for curb relocation work shall be
submitted prior to issuance of a building permit.
6. A revised site plan - containing required changes from stipulations 2
and 3 - shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit.
7. There shall be a barrier on the south side_ of the property to_prevent_
vehicular traffic between this and the next lot.
8. This approval expires in 6 months.
Mr. Jacob seconded the motion, and all voted for it.
Sketch plan application by LTH Associates for five additional commercial lots
in the Bartlett Property development on Harbor View Road
Mr. Krebs represented LTH. He said they would like access to lot 4 to be
between the east line of lot 3 and where the plan says "200'". Lots 5 & 6
will have a shared access, as would lots 7 & 8. Entrances for lots 4 and 9
should line up across the street, the Commission felt. Mr. Woolery felt that
if another lot were going to be squeezed in on the other side of the road, lot 9
should be made a little narrower now and that lot shown on this plan.
There were no problems expressed by the Commission with the plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION

SEPTEMBER 14, 1982
Mr. Walsh felt that once the study was done, the Commission had a responsibility
to address it in a timely manner. He also agreed that the City Council was a
vital party to this and Mr. Spitz said he would try to set up a joint meeting.
The motion carried unanimously.
Preliminary plat application by,Q'Brien Brothers Agencyl Inc., for a 35 unit
residential development entitled Co1_IeRe--Woo- s4 on JFarchen Road west of I-89
Mr. Spitz said his office had made an error in the warning and that the
application had been re -warned for September 28, so no formal action can be
taken tonight, but he felt the information should all be presented.
Mr. Page, representing the developer, said the proposal for pavement
width was for 22' with 2' gravel shoulders on both sides. There will be 34
modular homes plus one existing dwelling. The road is a loop, so for the most
part there will be two ways to get to each unit, for emergency vehicles, and
Mr. Page felt the road size proposed would be compatible with the type of
housing this would be. He noted that there was not a lot of buildable area
on the site, and that the developer could have put up 60-70 condominium units
instead of these homes. He felt the units were laid out so there would be
enough off-street parking for the residents - there will be 1 carport and 1
open space per unit. He noted that in this price range there were likely to
be fewer cars per unit than in other price ranges. Mr. Walsh was concerned
about units being rented to college students, who could sub -let to others, and
have a lot of cars. Mr. Page said it looked now as if the common facilities
and areas would be owned and managed by the O'Brien Brothers Agency, but another
option is to have a sort of condominium arrangement, with a homeowners association.
Mr. Poger was concerned that the latter option might lead to less strict control
over how the area would be kept. Mr. O'Brien said there might be problems with
owner financing under the original proposal of the O'Briens owning the lard, and
he felt control over the area could be maintained by conditions on the homeowners
association to prevent sub -leasing, for example.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the area could obtain water from both the Burlington
and South Burlington systems. He did not think there was a problem with
sewer capacity. He said that the type of units had to be defined in order to
determine their trip generation. If they are single family homes the number
will be 350 per day, 190 for mobile homes and 116 for retirement mobile homes.
They are using 200 trips per day and the road can easily handle that, he said.
As far as storm drainage, the narrow road shows curbs. With a wider road,
they would use an open ditch. Mr. Spitz said the Commission required 30,
with curbs for public streets and 24' of pavement in most condominium develop-
ments. He did not feel this development needed the 30', but felt it should not
be below 241. Mr. O'Brien agreed to 24' with 3' shoulders and no curbing,
except in areas where he might want to do it. The Commission will not require
curbs.
Walkways in the development were discussed. Mr. bona wondered about one
across the middle island or along the first part of the entrance road. There
was some discussion about making the :.initial portion of the road wider so the
school bus could turn around here. The Commission felt that if the entrance
road were wider and there was an area for the bus to turn around, there might
not be a need for a walkway.
Mr. Spitz asked about landscaping. The Commission felt the 5 units near
Patchen Road should have significant screening between them and the road.
Mr. O'Brien said he would like to address point W3 in the City Manager's
9/10 memo to the Commission. He said the pump station would be built to
PLANNING COMMISSION
4.
SEPTEMBER 14, 1982
specifications acceptable to the community, paid for in full by the residents
of this development, and the residents would also be paying user fees for
the station as well as taxes to the city. He did not feel they should have to
maintain the station as well. Mr. Spitz said in condominium developments,
stations which would serve other developments were usually city -owned. If they
serve only one development, they are usually private. He felt the city should
look into this issue, though.
Mr. Poger stated that he would look with favor on the O'Briens retaining
control over the project. Mr. Mona said he did not like the project name.
Mr. Woolery moved to continue the preliminary plat application of College
Woods until September 28 at 7:30 pm at City Hall. Mr. Walsh seconded the
motion and all voted aye.
Site plan and traffic criteria review of application by Claussen's Greenhouses
Inc., for a year-round florist shop at 1090 Shelburne Road
14r. Spitz said traffic was hard to evaluate because of the seasonal nature
of the business. There are counts from the existing shop on Riverside Avenue,
but the busy time of year is when they sell spring plants. He said that based
on the information they had, the estimated 15 trips per peak hour would be
about 112 what the proposed gas station and convenience store would have had.
The other issue is curb cuts, he said. The Pappas family owns one lot with
4 curb cuts and two buildings.
Mr. Gordon Woods, representing the developer, said there would be some
parking in front of the building, and additional parking behind it. They
will close the curb cut on the corner, and have 1 cut on Shelburne Road and one
on Baldwin Avenue. He said the Pappas family did not want to close both cuts
on Shelburne Road in front of this building, because they feel they would not
be able to sell the parcel in the future if they wanted to. Mr. Poger mentioned
combining the south Pappas cut and the north Claussen cut to serve both lots.
He felt that most people coming to the Claussen shop would not stop on impulse,
but would be familiar with the area and could use the Baldwin Avenue curb cut.
Air. Claussen said that if someone was in the parking lot and wanted to go back
to Burlington, he could just pull out onto the road instead of going through
the Baldwin Avenue traffic light and perhaps blocking other cars on the lot.
Ifir. Pappas did not want to combine a curb cut with Claussen's, since that would
result in the loss of some parking spaces. Mr. Walsh did not feel the Shelburne
Road curb cuts should be totally eliminated in front of the building, feeling
that could cause some real problems.
Mr. Woods noted that the area designated as outdoor sales area on the plan
was not an exact area, it was just to let the board 'know there would be outside
sales at some times of the year.
Mr. Mona suggested cutting the fence along the rear of the property at
one point, to allow people to walk between the front and rear of the lot.
It was decided to close the south curb cut and leave the north one open.
Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve
the site plan application by Claussen's Greenhouses for approval of a florist
shop as depicted on a plan entitled "New Florist Shop, 1090 Shelburne Road,'
prepared by Gordon G. Woods. last revised 9 12 82. subject to the following
tipulations:
1. The most southerly curb cut on Shelburne Road shall be closed.
2. A bond for landscaping and for curb work shall be provided.

Mr. Jacob seconded the motion.
The motion as originally made contained a stipulation #8 as follows "Lots
34, 35 and 36 are approved as duplex lots". Mr. Mona said he did not recall
any duplex lots, but was told they had been shown from the beginning. He did
not like them, feeling this was not the location for them, and he moved to
remove stipulation #8. ';r. Ewing seconded the motion.
Mr. Krebs said that at sketch plan, they had shown 40 single family lots,
and in a discussion with the Recreation Director, who had wanted some park
land, they had compromised with more park land and the duplex lots. Mr.
Larkin added that these lots had been planned a long time ago and if he had
known they would be a problem, he would have changed something else. Mr.
Mona's motion carried with :Messrs. Jacob and Woolery voting no.
Mr. Mona then moved to add a stipulation to remove note #2 on page 2 of
the plan of record, and Mr. Ewing seconded this. It carried with Messrs.
Jacob and 'Foolery voting no.
Mr. Mona informed Mr. Larkin that if the courts do not declare the
Meadowood at Spear streets to be public, his development could not use them
as access from the east. Mr. 3 pitz said the city did not want to be involved
with any private access areas, even if Mr. Larkin could obtain the right to use them.
The motion carried with Mr. Mona voting no. He stated that he had
wanted information on the erosion situation near Shearer before approving the
project.
Sketch ;lan application b6' rien Brothers,, inc. for a 36-unit modular home
planned development on tut-dhen iioad of I-89
Mr. Ewing felt he might have a conflict of interest in this case because
of a similar proposal he had in another town, and he wanted to remove himself
from the discussion,which he did.
Mr. Page, representing the O'Brien brothers, said modular homes were
pre -fabricated before they are put on the site. ;M;r. Mona asked if these homes
could be moved from the site and was told it would take a lot of effort.
Mr. Page said the rite contained about 31 acres, but it contains irregular
and steeply sloping terrain. The project will use 8-10 acres for the homes.
There is an existing single-family home on the land already, in which are some
tenants. The U'Briens will own the land and lease it to the owners of the
units. The site will have city water and sewer. The land is zoned R4, so
allowed density could be as high as 120 units, but only pert of the land is

and put them br►ck ; ; r, ,r;Ar,,ct.ion. They mrly have a pedestrian access to
the river, althou,",ti :; ;�'.ona wr,s not sure that would be a good idea.
Ar. O'Brien noted that this land had been zoned for a mobile home park at
one time. He said that such parks had a bad reputation, but that he had seen
some very nice ones, and he showed some pictures of them. He said they proposed
a 22' wide road with a 30' setback. He said the cost of the units could run
as high as W40,000 and as low as about i25,000, not including the lot. Yr.
Poger said that was low cost housing, which the city wants to provide. Mr.
u'Brien said the land would probably be leased for 1 year at a time. The
O'Briens will put in the road, landscaping, slabs for the homes, trees, shrubs,
sidewalks, decks and storage sheds, if desired. Everything will be standard
and have a set of specifications, so they can control how the area looks. It
was suggested that the City Attorney look over this arrangement, as he looks
over condominium by-laws.
Mr. Page said that the 150' setback from the Interstate would make this
Project unfeasible, so they will request a waiver from that from the Zoning
Board. lie noted that there was a ridge between the Interstate and this land.
Mr. Mona asked that the 150' setback be drawn on the plan for the next meeting.
Mr. Spitz felt the visual impact of these units on the Interstate would be less
than that of the recent Brookwood development, which does comply with the 150'
setback.
Mr. Poger felt this was a good step toward low-cost housing, and that it
was a food place for it. He said, though, that he would probably want to see
a 24' wide street.
Mr. Krassner said the Natural Resources Committee, of which he is a member,
would not like to see any intrusion on the CO zone.
Mr, rioolery felt the Commission was not opposed to this.
Re -application by Jean R. Reardon for a photo kiosk in the parking lot of
the Iierrill Theatre comolex on rlilliston Road
Mr. Poger said that he would like the Planner to state what was different
about this application since the last time, so a decision on whether or not to
re -hear it could be made. Mr. Spitz said he had 5 letters submitted since the
last time (copies on file in his office), and that the kiosk had been moved
to the en it end of the i:iland. V.1r. Ewing felt the traffic information submitted
this time was new information. The letters deal with traffic and circulation.
Mr. Spitz said the kiosk's new position would leave room f or 2 cars to park
before they backed into the travel way.
Mr. Ewing moved to re -hear the apr,lication, and Mr. Jacob seconded. The
motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Russ Launderville, representing the Reardons, said their experience
in their 4 other locations leadsthem to believe that this kiosk would not
generate new traffic on ,1''illiston Road, because this is a convenience business.
No one will come here only to drop off film. He said the letter from the
Home Emporium stated that they had between 90-100 cars per day. They moved
out of the complex about 1 year ago, and he did riot believe the kiosk would
replace that amount of traffic. „'r. Spitz said he had done a 112 hour traffic
count on the new location of the Home Emporium, and based on that very brief
study, felt their figurer might be a little high. He added that there was another
use in the building vacated by the Emporium, and Mr. Zona noted that the
Emporium's traffic was still on 4illiston Road.

RE: Valley Ridge duplexes
Dear Dan,
Please find attached two sets of site sketches depicting the duplex building
areas. These are done on a 1" = 20' scale, twice as large as the Plat Plan.
The building areas are determined by maintaining 30 foot separation between
buildings and a 25 foot setback from the road.
Please note the narrow building area for single family detached houses on
lots 31 and 33. Lot 31 would probably not allow for a garage. The "buildable
area" for the duplex building on the combined lots allows more room between
adjoining houses, creating a less congested feeling. It also allows for garages.
I would like the option of building either two detached units or one duplex
building on the combined lots 31 and 33. The feelings of the neighbors and the
market wiil influence the decision.
If you have any questions, please call me. I will be happy to meet with
you and the City and Katherine Vose, if you like. Thank you for your help.
You truly,

the total number of residential units will be unchanged. I see no substantive
problems as a result of the revisions.
You must submit a revised final plat for review and approval by the Planning
Commission. The submission must shown the same level of detail as the original
final plat. If plans are in by Tuesday, August 16, the application can be
scheduled for Tuesday, September 6. If no problems arise, one hearing should be
sufficient.

Dear Dan,
Enclosed is the final plat approval with stipulations for your 36
unit residential development on Patchen Road. Please note that a number
of stipulations must be satisfied before your final plat is recorded with-
in 90 days. Please leave enough time for submission and approval of plans
and legal documents so that there will not be a last-minute rush.
The Planninq_ Commission has required that the name of your development
be changed to Valley Ridge. It is immaterial whether the final plan set is
labeled "College Woods" or "Valley Ridge", but the development must hence-
forth be referred to by the latter name.
Please call if you have any (.questions.

Dear Jennifer,
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
658-2486
Enclosed are the most recent plans showing the pedestrian trail in the
"College Woods" development on Patchen Road. There may be some further
revisions to the plans, but the only change to the trail will be labeling
as "approximate location." The intention is that the trail, when marked
on -site, can be located anywhere on parcel C.
A legal document providing a pedestrian easement will be on file in
City Hall. Our procedure is to record the easement only after the trail
is ready for use. If WVPD ends up marking the trail rather than the City,
I expect that you can make appropriate arrangements with the Planning and/or
Recreation departments. I also expect that the pedestrian easement could
then be granted to WVPD as well as to the City.
This pedestrial trail location is not without problems. It's likely
that someone will have to provide significant improvements at the entrance
if proper access is to be provided. But I do think the trail is potentially
usable with proper work.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Re: College Woods
Dear Doug:
I have approved the College Woods plans with the exception
(noted on the plans) that a four inch blow off will be added at
the low point near the interstate highway. The South Burlington
Water Commissioners have agreed that an exception can be made to
the policy of extending the water main the full length of the
Patchen Road frontage. This decision was based on the fact that
the pressure in the Burlington system is not adequate to supply
water in an emergency situation and that there is little potential
for other development. The use of six inch pipe for the loop is
also allowable because of near zero potential of any other water
mains being tapped off and extending beyond the six inch main.

Re: College Woods Project
Dear Sir,
I have reviewed your plans for the proposed College Woods project, and
have found the following items that do not comply with the South Burlington
Water Department policy governing new water utilities.
1. The 8" line shall be installed the full length of the property
frontage, and a hydrant installed at the end.
2. The 8" main shall be extended around the entire development. A
situation where a portion of the development is served by a main
that is to be deeded to the City and the balance served by a
private main that loops back to the main to be deeded to the City
is unacceptable.
3. In addition, all water mains and appurtenances within the water
utility easement shall be installed according to the plans and
specifications approved by the Water Superintendent and shall
be deeded to the City of South Burlington.
Therefore, would you please sutmit a revised set of plans for my review and
approval.
Sincerely,

MEMO

Re: College Woods - schematic parking layout and landscaping proposal
Date: April 11, 1983
1. Parking
The schematic layout is enclosed - as you can see, there is enough room
to provide 2 off street spaces per unit.
2. Landscapin
We propose $250 of landscaping per unit. The planting plan will be
prepared after an inventory of trees suitable for transplanting has been
completed. As a prerequisite to issuance of building permits, a bond or
other suitable instrument will be established to guarantee the $250 of land-
scaping per unit. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, a land-
scaping plan shall be submitted to the City for review and shall be approved.

2) College Woods
This application is getting closer. Hopefully it will be even closer to
completion by Tuesday's meeting.
a) A traffic memo is enclosed. This project will add 6 to 7% to existing
traffic. Any problems that exist or may result at either end of Patchen Road
are not this applicant's responsibility.
b) Two units have been combined into one duplex. Location of one different -
style duplex in the midst of this project seems a bit strange to me, but overall
layout has been improved so I will not recommend against the duplex.
c) The rear lot has now been given legal access onto Patchen Road. Ped-
estrian trail access is thereby improved. Vehicular access is still unlikely.
d) The landscaping plan shows approximately one medium-sized tree per unit.
The reasons for this proposal should be explained.
e) Pump station location and size of water lines have been resolved.
f) Six off-street parking spaces and an internal walkway have been added.
g) There are still several omissions in the required legal documents.
3) Belter
After previously dropping from 9 to 7 industrial lots, the application is
back up to 8 lots. 7 lots are in the area served by the new street, and 1 lot
is still south of Ethan Allen Drive near the powerlines. The third proposed area
(north of Ethan Allen Drive and abutting Airport Parkway) has been removed for
now.
The 7-lot area is now well laid out. All potentially usable land is shown
on the plan, and each lot contains a reasonable amount of buildable area. The
street with cul-de-sac, also is complete.
Other than completion of water and legal reviews, I have no remaining concerns
with this application.
4) Seven -Up
Application is for a 120 foot x 80 foot storage addition to the existing
7-up building on Berard Drive.
There is a side setback problem on the western boundary which will have to
be resolved.

2) College Woods
1. There should be a separation between sidewalk and curbing of at least
5 feet. Sidewalk shall be at least 5 feet wide.
2. Sidewalk should be constructed along Patchen Road and connect to walk-
way on Interstate Bridge.
3. There should be a street light at Patchen Road entrance. Additional
lights especially near cul-de-sac may be required which can be added near trans-
formers.
3) Ethan Allen Farms
1. A 60' strip at end of cul-de-sac should be reserved at far northerly
point adjacent to the Berard property to leave open the possibility for eliminating
the cul-de-sac and extending the road and/or utilities easterly.
2. Curbs shall be extended around entrance radii to a point 15' from center
of Ethan Allen Drive. Drop inlets shall be constructed at that point to intercept
road drainage.
3. Road gravel base shall be a total thickness of 18 inches. If crushed
stone (704.09) is used this may be decreased depending on field conditions. That
determination to be made by City.
4. Using allowable water main deflections per pipe joint, the 221-2 degree
bend may be eliminated and pipe installation kept at a close to uniform distance
from road. Pipe installation as shown will require an easement from lot 8.
Water Department to review this plan.
4) 7-Up Building Expansion
1. Since Berard Drive serves only the adjacent industries with no possibility
of extending this street to serve other areas, I have no objection to the extra
road openings. The new openings shall be constructed by removing the existing
barrier concrete curbs and pouring new depressed curbs. Disturbed roadway shall
be patched.

3) College Woods
1. Existing building No. 36 should be connected to the municipal sewage collection
system especially since there will be extensive grading around this building which
will probably disturb existing system.
2. Placing sewage pumping station within 2'-6" of edge of road is a problem. Road
snow plowing will bury the access opening which has to be open and checked daily.
The control box can also be damaged especially being located on the outside of a
road curve. The station should be at least 10 feet from edge of road.
3. Sewage pumping station should be operated with three phase power. With
alarm connected to Police Station. Area around pumping station and control box
shall be paved.
4. Additional information regarding the pumping station construction will be
requested.
5. Street parking will have to be restricted at least on one side to allow
for emergency vehicles. Being private streets this may be difficult to enforce.
6. Street lights should be included in the development.
7. Sidewalks should be provided including along Patchen Road at least to
Interstate highway bridge. Sidewalks to Kirby Road where there is bus service
should be considered.
8. Streets should be public, 30' in width built to City standards.
9. Water Department to review water main layout.
10. A hydrant must be located near sewage pumping station for periodic flushing
and cleaning of station.
4) Proposed Beauty Salon (40 Patchen Road)
1. Existing curb opening on White Street shall be removed and a
new concrete barrier curb poured. Disturbed road pavement shall
be patched.
2. New curb opening shall be a poured concrete depressed curb.
Existing barrier curb shall be removed in sections.
3. A parking lot drainage inlet should be installed to drain area.
It may be possible to pipe it to the street drain at corner of
Patchen Road and White Street. This should be checked.

1) IAg Zoning
Two requests for rezoning of the Industrial and Agricultural District are
enclosed. In brief, the first request is for larger minimum lots. The second
request is for elimination of minimum lot size in a planned development and
for increased lot coverage.
Procedurally, I suggest that you allow each request to be presented in turn
along with any questions about content. After both requests are presented, it
will be easier to discuss the overall issue of proper industrial/agricultural
zoning.
3) College Woods
The name of the development is still the same, though the applicants say
they still plan to comply with the Planning Commission's request to change it.
The layout of the 36 units is essentially the same as at preliminary plat.
However, with the addition of grading details some units have had to be squeezed
in. I question the layout of units 15 through 21 and suggest that alternatives
be explored including, possibly, elimination of 1 unit.
Also, this application now includes a 3-lot subdivision. Because of limited
access to the rear parcel, stipulations may have to be placed limiting or
prohibiting development on that parcel. A pedestrian easement is being provided
to the river and I am contacting the Winooski Valley Park District to see if
they have any interest in its location.
Several previous concerns have been resolved: (1) Internal streets and the
main entrance have been widened to 24 feet and 30 feet respectively. (2) A
school bus turn around has been included on Patchen Road. (3) A schematic
drawing has been submitted to indicate avaliability of off-street parking
(enclosed). More detailed information can be put on the plans if requested.
However, a number of other questions remain open:
(1) Internal walkways have not been included. I do not feel they are
essential along all roadways, but it would be desirable to include them where
pedestrian traffic is likely to be greatest. In some spots they might be be-
tween buildings (e.g. 33 and 34, and 26 and 27.)
(2) I do not feel that the landscaping detail is sufficient. On all other
planned developments, landscaping data is presented at final plat not prior to
certificate of occupancy as proposed. I see no reason to alter tha requirement
in this case.

(3) Legal documents were submitted late. At this writing we still have not
received information on the proposed land and building ownership arrangement.
(4) Water department approval is pending.
I cannot recommend final plat approval until these matters are resolved.
I am particulary concerned that the landscaping requirements not be allowed to
slide.
4) LePage
This lot crosses Cl and R4 zones at the corner of White Street and Patchen
Road. The Zoning Board has approved the requested beauty salon but has delayed
action on any office use until a specific tenant is known.
According to traffic standards in the zoning ordinance this small lot with
previous residential use could be upgraded to commercial uses with up to 10 or
11 trips per hour. The proposed hair salon may slightly exceed that volume at
times, but overall itisa reasonably low volume commercial use. Also, the applicant
is relocating the one existing curb cut to a point further away from the main
intersection. This improvement should be given some credit. However, permission
for the office use may have to wait until after observation of traffic at the
beauty salon.
Gravel parking will be provided for 15 cars, an adequate number. However,
one dimension is sub -standard, and a revision may result in the loss of one
space.
The adjacent property owner to the south currently parks on a portion of this
property. Some resolution of this arrangement must be worked out.
Some landscaping exists, including several trees along the property line of
the one abutting residential use. Also, additional shrubs and trees will be
planted according to our landscaping formula.
5) Bartlett Commercial Lots
This is the second proposed grouping of lots within the overall commercially -
approved portion of the Bartlett property. These 5 lots will complete subdivision
of land on the south side of Harbor View Road.
Proposed lots range from 45,000 to 65,000 square feet. All lots have an
ample amount of usable area with the possible exception of lot 7 which is crossed
by a "minor stream."
Two pairs of lots will be able to share curb cuts and one lot will have its own
entrance. If the initial 3 commercial lots are included, there will be a total
of 5 curb cuts serving 8 lots with 1725 feet of frontage (one curb cut every 345
feet). This is a very satisfactory arrangement. Also, it appears likely that
access for the large undeveloped commercial area north of Harbor View Road will
be able to line up with one of the proposed joint curb cuts.
