Minutes of December 5. 1978
It was moved by P. Jacob, seconded by E. Levesque and passed without
dissent, to accept the minutes of December 5. 1978.
Public hearing on final plat application of Smart Associates for a 3 lot
subdivision, north of Van Sicklen Road__
Tyler Hart said that the proposal was for a 3 lot subdivision off
Van Sicklen Road. The original parcel of land was 100 acres and last year
4 lots were sold, leaving a 48 acre piece of land. This land will contain
a PUD (planned unit development) of 3 3acre lots with the rest of the land
held in common and to remain open space. 7 1/2 acres of the 48 aye in Williston.
Mr. Hart said that the 3 lots would be placed on the west side of the property
and have a small city street built between the Kendall and Watson properties.
This will have a cul-de-sac and be paved so that school busses and fire
trucks as well as snow plows can get down it and turn around without problems.
Off the cul-de-sac will be private gravel drives for the lots.
Mr. Hart said that water would be from drilled wells and that there would
be on -site sewage disposal. Each lot would have its own septic system and
leach field but those fields would be in the common area. Each owner will be
responsible for his system and Mr. Hart said it was possible for one of them
to have a problem without the other two having one also. Covenants will be
drawn up to protect the open space and to maintain the septic systems.
Mr. Hart said a pedestrian trail was shown on the plan and would be offered
to the city - it runs along the brook and the east property line.
The agreement to maintain the open space applies to the land in Williston
as well as the land in South Burlington.
Mr. Hart was asked to go over the sewage plans. He said that from the
individual septic systems on each lot would run a 4" plastic pipe to the
individual leach fields in the common area. He said most of the soil in the
area was not good for sewage disposal but that there were some areas where
they could comply with the Vermont Health Regulations governing that.
K. afoolery arrived at this point.
Mr. Hart said that they had dug test pits in the area this summer and
that they had put an observation well in which would monitor monthly water
2.
PLANNING COPL?ISSION DECEMBER 12. 1978
• in the area. This is a 4" plastic pipe stuck 9' into the ground. He said
he had not seen any water in that pipe so far. A trench has been dug on
the west to prevent water from entering the area. Mr. Hart said he knew
the area got wet in the spring but he felt they could direct the water out
of the area. He said they had 6' of sand where they needed 7' to meet
the regulations and he said they could do some terracing to meet that. S.
Page said the City Engineer was satisfied with the disposal plans.
Mr. Bob Watson, an adjoining neighbor, said that the field was very
wet even now with the dry fall the city has had and he asked about the 10
acre zoning in the area. He said that when he bought his home he felt that
there would be one ouse on every 10 acres of land behind him, which was
not the same as 3 3-acre lots with a lot of open space. S. Page replied
that the city had zoned the Southeast Quadrant that -way about 4 years ago
as a holding action to slow development. It later became apparent that
lots were being set off in strange ways to comply with the 10 acre zoning,
such as the bowling alley or spaghetti lots seen in the first part of the
subdivision of this 100 acres of land. The Co=ission, in an effort to deal
with this, amended the zoning to allow clustering of units so that the overall
density does not exceed 10 per acre but the developer can choose the best
place to put the homes. This is the first such clustering proposal they
have reviewed.
S. Poger added that the Commission felt that 10 acre zoning encouraged
rich ghettos, which was a problem. He said the city never intended to say
that the Southeast Quadrant would remain in 10 acre zoning forever. The
consensus of the Commission was that the clustering proposal was appropriate
in this case. It was also pointed out that with the land held in common
between these three lots, if the zoning were ever changed it would probably
be harder to further subdivide that land because of dealing with three people.
Mr. John Kuda expressed a great deal of concern with the approval of
this plan. E. Levesque noted that the Commission was not unanimously for
the present 10 acre zoning in the Southeast Quadrant, saying that he felt it
was discriminatory and created elitest housing in the city.
Mr. Watson said this was the first time he had been informed of the
proposal. The Planner sent him a letter as an adjoining property owner which
warned him of the hearing. S. Poger wondered if adjoining owners should be
notified of every meeting (the Commission had met before on this application),
but S. Page said the line had to be drawn somewhere and to warn neighbors of
every meeting would create an enormous amount of paper work. He added that
the city was not required to notify property owners but did so because they
wanted people to know what was going on.
It was noted that the Commission would start revising the Comprehensive
Plan on January 2 and that they met almost every Tuesday and that S. Page was
available in city hall if people wanted to talk about their concerns and
desires regarding Southeast Quadrant zoning.
Mr. Kuda said he had paid a lot for his lot and that he depended on the
Commission to protect his investment. If the zoning in the Quadrant were to
be changed to 112 acre zoning, it would defeat the reason for his investment.
He was told that the Commission was nct out to protect his investment, but
to be sure the rules and regulations in the city were followed and he was
invited and encouraged to come talk to the Commission during the revision of
the Comprehensive Plan, which would take 6-8�►onths and invGlve as many citizens
as were willing tc come in and talk.
Yx. Lamphere asked when the clustering provision had been added to the
zoning regulations and was told it was in August and that there had been a
3.

public hearing on it before the Commission and another one before the Council.
He said he had some concerns about the sewage disposal but felt that that
would be resolved at the Act 250 hearing.
Mr. Watson again raised the question of .the wetness of the land, saying
that it was almcst marshy and he hoped that question would be addressed.
-K. Woolery moved to close the public hearing -on the final plat
application of Smart Associates. E. Levesque seconded the motion, which
passed with all in favor.
K. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve
the final plat application of Smart Associates, for a 3 lot subdivision,
as depicted on a lan set of 2 pages, prepared by Trudell Consulting Engineers
dated 11 1 and 11 3 78s subject to the following stipulations:
1. A bend shall be posted for the ccrstruction of the city street__
and the common portion of the private drive, in an amount determined by
the City Engineer, prior to issuance of building permits.
2. Street name lot line distances and bearings, existing monuments

Review minor revisions to Stonehedge final plat
Mr. Terry Boyle said that they warted to revise phase 1 of the plan to
include a swimming pool and tennis court, to be located to the n,,rth of the
model unit.
K. Woolery asked if the city had the as -built utility plans for this
project yet and was told that they had 3-'-scale plans. The water mains are

Re: EC4-0501 - Smart Associates, Inc., Three Lot Subdivision
Located Off Van Sicklen Road in So. Burlington, Vermont
Dear Mr. Segal:
A site inspection of the above referenced project was conducted by this
office last month with your consultant, Tyler Hart. Water was observed at
4 feet in the westerly observation well and 3 feet in the easterly observa-
tion well. The Subdivision Regulations require 6 feet to the highest ground
water. Therefore, based upon this requirement, the disposal site proposed
to serve three houses will not meet the standards of the Subdivision Regulations.
Enclosed please find a copy of the Certification of Non -Compliance. If
You have any questions or wish to appeal this decision, you can contact P. Howard
Flanders, Chief Review Engineer of the Protection Division.

This project,consisting of a three -lot subdivision located off Van Sicklen Road
in South Burlington, Vermont, is hereby certified NOT to satisfy the requirements
of the regulations named above for the following reasons:
Section 5-906(B)(4)(b) requires that there be at least six feet of soil
cover above the highest ground water level within the continuous area.
A diversion ditch was dug around three sides of the continuous area with
the intent of lowering the water table below 6' within the continuous
area. A site inspection was conducted in March, 1979. Two observation
wells were inspected one at the eastern end and one at the western end
of the disposal area. Water was found in the easterly tube at 3 feet
and 4 feet in the westerly tube.
Because of the high ground water level within the disposal site, this subdivi-
sion does not meet the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations.

permission to build 2 phases of the project, or 88 units. Mr. Poger replied
that as far as the Commission understood, this project was to receive the next
available sewer capacity and that that was just about all they could do. Mr.
Page said that Mr. Szymanski had not felt that the report made adequate allowance
for infiltration into the pipes and said that during the last wet period, some
of the flows in the treatment plant had been pretty high, which showed that
infiltration was significant. Mr. Morency said that he could not quarrel with
the report but that the largest number differences occurred with the motels and
the housing for the elderly. He added that the Commission and the city could
not bank on people using water restrictors until more data was in on that. He
said that he felt that the difference was a matter of opinion - a judgement
call. Mr. Poger moved to conclude the public hearing and Mr. Morency seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Poger said that the heart of the question was whether the Commission had the
power to allocate sewer space or not. He pointed out that the Commission had
designated Brand for the next capacity and that the Council had then extended
sewer lines out to Country Club Estates. He said that Brand was assured the
next capacity as far as the Commission was able to assure it, but that he could
not vote for another phase based on the engineering report they had been given.
Mr. Page pointed out that the Commission's preliminary approval had stated that
there was not enough capacity for any phases and that the Commission would listen
to requests to build on a phase -by -phase basis as the capacity became available.
Mr. Woolery asked whether, if no action were taken by Chalet Susse within a
reasonable period from the time of approval, the Commission could give their
capacity to someone else or disallow the use. Mr. Page said that he had not yet
discussed that with the City Attorney, and that even if that were possible, it
would take time to do it and to figure how much sewage space would be freed.
Mr. Poger said that he could not vote to give them capacity that the Engineer
said was not there, and said that he would rather vote now and have them reapply
later. Kr. Woolery moved to re -word stipulation #5 of the October
25 approval motion for this project as follows: "This approval shall expire six
months from January 1, 1978 for phase 1 and six months from January 1, 1979 for
phase 2; construction shall be completed orior to January 1. 1979 for phase 1 and
prior to January 1, 1980 for phase two An extension may be ap:lied for by the
develouer and ranted by the Commission The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Poger moved to deny the application for the Brand Farm Condominiums, phase
Z. Mr. Morency seconded this motion. Mr. Ewing said that he would vote to deny
because the report from Hamlin did not speak to the question of suspended solids
in the sewage or that of the amount of oxygen present in the flow and he felt
that these were critical issues. :Mr. 'foolery disagreed, saying that all the
Commission's previous decisions had been based on amount of flow, not the BOD
or suspended solids. Mr. Foger said that he would vote against phase 2 because
of the difference between the City Engineer and the Hamlin report and because
he believed that it was better to be conservative as far as sewer capacity went.
He said, however, that when the capacity was there, approval should be given
speedily. 'Kr. Morency felt that the Commission had dealt with estimates for
long enough and that it was time for some actual measuring to be done before
more capacity was given out on a long-term basis. The notion passed with Messrs..
Levesoue and Woolery voting no.
Continuation cf public hearing- on preliminary plat of `'mart Associates

Mr. Wessel removed himself from this discussion.
Mr. Page briefly went through Fir. Szymanski's memo of November 4, 1977 on this
3.
PLANNING COPi'MISSION NOVE14BER 8, 1977
application. He said that the State Highway Department would review the inter-
section and that it would have to meet their criteria on design. He said that
there was a potential pedestrian trail into the back of some land owned by Mr.
Mikell and he suggested that Jerry Olsen, representative from the Natural
Resources Committee, meet with Smart Associates and work something out. Mr.
Tyler Hart said that they could live with the stipulations in the memo but that
they would like a chance to discuss them further. Mr. Page asked when they
would have the State Highway permit for the intersection and was told that they
would get it before final plat. He said that the Commission would like to see
it before the final hearing. Mr. Wessel stated that he had disqualified himself
as a Commission member for this application., He said that he was an abutting
property owner, however, and wished to represent his own interests but that the
testimony he would present would be as an individual private citizen. He filed
a statement to that effect in the record (see attached copy). He said that he
felt that there was a problem with traffic at that intersection and cited several
recent accidents there. There were more less serious accidents at that spot
when a ceramics business had located there several years ago. Because of the
danger and the high accident rate, the State installed new lighting in the area.
The sight -distance is too short there, he said, and the school bus will not stop
at the intersection, but rather some distance beyond it. A school bus sign has
also been erected. An average of 3 cars per year, he said, were forced off the
road because they were going too fast or tried to avoid someone else. He felt
that sight -distance to both north and south was inadequate at 50 mph, and added
that it seemed that many cars traveled in excess of that speed. In his
opinion, he said, some traffic solutions would be a change in the road grade,
a caution light, or access at a different place.
Gn the issue of public vs private road, he felt that public would be much better
for all concerned, but felt that the road should be 24' wide rather than 30' since
the wider road would encourage speeding and that would be dangerous to the
children in the area. He felt that the usual things such as curbs, lighting,etc.
should be waived here. He said further that he would like written assurance
from the City Engineer that development of the land would not aggravate the
ponding already present in the area and added that if possible, he would like
to see that the views of the present property owners were not lost.
Sewer systems in the area do not always work well in the wet periods of the year
and he said that he would like both water and sewer systems checked carefully
by the City Engineer. Finally, he said that he would rather the new street not
be named "Sally's Way", but rather be chosen from the list the Commission has of
suggested street names.
:r. Collins felt that views could not be protected and Mr. Levesque.agreed. .fr.
Poger said that 2 story houses could be carefully placed. It was established
that the road will be public and 24' wide. Mr. Segal said that the septic
systems would be worked out by a qualified engineer and that a right of way had
been given for access to the uppeAortion of the land. 1M.r. Poger asked whether,
if access were gained to Hinesburg Road over the Dubois property and the present
intersection proved unsafe, they would consider closing off the Fresent end of
the street. :fir. Segal replied that that would be up to the city. Yr. Kerwin
said that he would like to see the hedgerow presently there remain intact and
this desire was indicated by all parties. Xr. Hart said that it would be
protected as much as possible. ?<r. Vessel suggested that the developer post
bond for it. Ir. Richard Taft said that he supported everything Yr. vessel had
said in his statement and expressed concern for the safety of schoolchildren.
,..r. Schuele said that Mr. Szymanski had proposed a level spot long enough for
a car to be level at the intersection and he suggested that maybe that should
be long enough for a scnool bus. Xr. rioolery suggested lowering the speed limit

to 35 mph. Mr. Page said that Mr. Szymanski had said that if septic systems
went in there that conformed to the standards, he felt that there would not be
a problem. Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission
_.approve the preliminary plat application of Smart Associates, Inc., for a 5 lot
residential subdivision, as depicted on a plan set of 4 pages, entitled Sally's
Way, and a revised site plan P. 1 entitled "Site Plan for Smart Associates,
Inc., dated 9 77 by Trudell Consulting Engineers, subject to the following
stipulations:
,41) Applicant shall meet with a representative of the Natural resources
Committee on the layout of a pedestrian trail on the eastern half of the property

"2) An area of land for a school bus turnaround on Van Sicklen Road
_shall be deeded to the City, if deemed necessary by the City Engineer and shown
on the final plat.
d3) The area labeled "existing drive" shall be deleted as part of the
City street and shown simply as an easement.
4) A recreation fee of $64.00 for lots 1-4 shall be paid prior to the
issuance of any building permits.
15) Specifications and layout of the city street and storm drainage
shall be as approved by the City ngineer.
6) Lot #5
information before a
house site may be de
is subject to submission of further soils and flooding
building permit will be issued, so that an appropriate
ermined.
7) It is understood that Sally's Way may be extended to the Dubois
property to the north, to connect to Route 116.
8) The following required improvements are waived: curbs, sidewalks
lighting and landscaping.
9) In order to preserve the existing hedgerow along the north -south
segment of Sally's Way, applicant shall confer with the Cit Engineer on such
measures as setting the pavement off center, widening the right of way, etc.,
wFiicFi shall �e shown on the aT' plat.i.andscaping bond for preservation of the
hedgerow shall be set at final plat
10) State Highway Department comments and recommendations for the
intersection at Route 116 shall be made available prior to the final plat hearing.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Morency, and it passed unanimously.
Continue review of revised access to Econolodge
Mr. Page said that the Police Chief had not thought that there was any problem -
there has not been any increase in accidents since the access went in. I:essrs.
Poger and 1-loolery felt that they would like to see a speed dip anyway. Yr.
Graves had no objection. :fir. Poger moved that the South Burlington Planning
Commission approve a speed dip and review it in one year's time. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Levesque and passed unanimously.

Meadowbrook Condominiums - Final Review Phase IV
This is the next to the last phase of this 50 unit project,
consisting of two buildings totalling 14 units. The previous phase
was reviewed and approved by the Commission in May of this year.
Layout is fine with the exception of one building which must be
shifted away from a drainageway.
Brand Farm Condominiums - Final Plat
I have no further comments - the report of the applicant's
engineering consultant was sent to you last week. Presumably, this
report and approval for additional phases beyond phase I will be the
only discussion items.
Smart Associates - Preliminary Plat
Engineering has been reviewed by Bill Szymanski - see his
memo. With regard to the proposed intersection with Route 116, a
State Highway permit will be required. The District Highway Office
has indicated that adequate sight distance and proper approach grade
among other things, must be demonstrated before such a permit will
be issued.
There is a narrow roadway at the southeast corner of the
property, extending northward from VanSicklen Road across Smart
Associate's land leading to an active hayfield, owned by Mr. Mikell.
This roadway is relatively high and dry for the most part and has
high potential for a pedestrian trail; this roadway could also be
used for access to the hayfield by farm equipment and also possibly
by the owners of lots 1 - 4 for access to the wooded, rear portions
of their lots.
Econolodge revised access
With regard to the connection to the Gulf Station, I recommend
an approval for the connector as is, conditione4 on a review in 1
year's time by the Commission. This is based on the fact that Chief
Carter could attribute no increased traffic hazards to this drive-
way and the alternatives, such as a speed dip or placement of
bollards have the disadvantages of increased maintenance and
possibly greater hazards to moving traffic.

#2 Smart Associate's Final Plat
Lot layout,roadway, and sewage disposal plans have been
revised in accord with recommendations made at sketch plan review.
The lots and road are planned so that there is a short city street,
with a turnaround, and individual driveways to each lot; sewage
lines and leach fields are separate for each lot. The common open
space will be permanently encumbered against development. A written
summary of the necessary legal documentation will be submitted at the
hearing. There are no substantive issues; however, there is the
usual list of trivia which can be incorporated in the approval motion.
#3 Amendment to Stonehedge Final Plat
A pool and tennis court are proposed within the 92 unit first
phase of this project, which received final approval 6/6/78. The
siting of these features caused some minor changes to the location
of other units and carports in adjoining clusters. As long as
acceptable building separations are maintained, and there is no
encroachment over utility easements, I have no concerns on this
proposal. Rather, these facilities will reduce demand on public
recreation facilities.
#4 Garden Way Addition
An addition of about 4900 square feet is proposed for the rear
of the Garden Way building. Because of the 20' of frontage on this
property, access is fixed. The proposed landscaping should make a
significant dent in this intensively utilized site. The parking
and circulation plan is compatible with the "north side service road"
discovered in the Comprehensive Plan. I have some concerns about the
location and number of parking spaces and expect to have some further
resolution of this matter before the meeting.

#7 Hurley 7 unit Condominium project - Final Plat
The plan submitted complies with all stipulations of preliminary
approval. With the exception of some minor details to be added to
the final plat, and the usual raft of legalese (all of which can be
taken care of administratively), all is in order.
#8 Smart Associates - 3 lot subdivision sketch plan
This is the first proposal for a clustered subdivision under
the recently enacted amendments to the A-R district. Three 3 acre
lots are proposed on a site approximately 40 acres in size. The
access road should be a city street. Septic tanks will be on in-
dividual lots; the effluent from the tanks will be piped to a common
leaching field, where soils are best for this purpose. Legal agree-
ments on the use of common sewage facilities, as well as restrictions
on the use and ownership of open space, must be worked out.

Re: Segal property, South Burlington
Dear Mr. Hart:
This letter is to serve as written record of the position of the
protection Division for this proposed three lot subdivision. As stated
in our joint site inspection on August 22, 1978, the main concern here is
high seasonal ground water. To complicate matters, the proposed dual
alternating disposal fields must be located in a plateau area that is com-
pose& df_a limited amount of permeable soil. This plateau is bordered
on two sides by a drainage swale.
your proposal to de -water the site by use of an interceptor trench may
result in an approvable site. But to obtain an accurate evaluation, the
protection Division will require that inspection take place in the spring.
Should you have any questions please contact me at this office.
Sincerely,
Paul Duchesneau
Regional Engineer

Dear Paul:
ROUTE 2A
BOX 308
WILLISTON, VT. 05495
879.6331
The following test results and sketches are submit',:.ed for your consideration
under Chapter 5, Subchapter 10, Part III, 5-966(B) of the Health Regulations.
Our proposal is for 3 single family lots on 148.5 acres in South Burlington.
The propsosal will be submitted under a newly proposed zoning amendment to
allow PUD projects in Agricultural areas, where considerable open space or
common area is set aside.
The test results indicate presence of a 6000 ft.2 area of sand of 5 - 6 foot
depth. My feeling is this area could be filled, 1 - 2 and a community type
sewage disposal system built for the three houses. Since this constitutes a
site modification your preliminary approval to proceed with design drawings
is needed.
May we set up an appointment to inspect the site?
Very truly yours,
TRUDr�.L CONS TING ENGINEERS, INC.
