A & M Construction, LLC, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is requesting preliminary plan
approval from the Development Review Board (DRB) for a 2-lot, 5-unit Planned Residential
Development (PRD) at 100 Van Sicklen Road. The subject property contains approximately
4.57 acres and falls within the Southeast Quadrant (SEQ) District. Portions of the subject
property also fall within the Conservation and Open Space (CO) District.
Associate Planner Janet Hurley and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, referred to herein as
Staff, have reviewed the plans submitted on February 10, 2003 and have the following
comments.
Zoning District & Dimensional Requirements
According to Section 6.401 of the Zoning Regulations, the maximum allowable residential
density for the subject property is 1.2 units per acre, or 5 units. Five units are proposed. The
applicant has provided calculations for building and overall coverage for Lot 1 containing the
existing house, and Lot 2, which will contain 2 duplexes. The application form shows proposed
building height is 25 to 30 ft.

Restricted Areas within the SEQ District
No buildings are proposed within SEQ restricted areas. An existing residential drive is proposed to
be removed and replaced with a shared drive to serve all 5 residences. The shared drive will pass
through the SEQ restricted area, and the new driveway for the existing house falls almost entirely
within the restricted area. Pursuant to Section 6.501(a) of the Zoning Regulations, the construction
of roads to serve approved development is allowed within SEQ restricted areas. In addition, utilities
must be placed underground and public recreation paths are allowed. The plans show underground
water and wastewater lines crossing the SEQ restricted area. Electrical and telephone lines are not
shown on the plans. A recreation path easement is also shown within the restricted area.

1. The applicant must provide calculations of residential density within contiguous
development areas within each lot of the proposed subdivision. Such density measures
shall not exceed 4 units per acre.
Section 6.403 of the Zoning Regulations requires that the no more that 4 dwelling units per acre
may be located within the limits of a contiguous designated development area within a single parcel
of land. Consequently, the applicant must provide calculations of residential density for contiguous
development areas within each lot of the proposed subdivision.
2. The plans should be revised to clearly delimit and label the SEQ restricted areas and SEQ
development areas on the subject property.
Sheet 1 of the plans indicates 100' Open space setback from Van Sicklen centerline" and "500'
Open space setback from Route 116' centerline" delineations. These correspond to the boundaries
between SEQ restricted areas and SEQ development areas. The plans should be revised to label
these areas accordingly.
Conservation and Open Space District
3. The applicant must provide delineation of all wetlands on the subject property
delineated by a qualified wetlands consultant.
The subject property contains wetlands as indicated on the South Burlington wetlands map.
The CO District includes all wetlands and buffer areas 50 ft. in width surrounding all wetlands.
The plans show an existing pond on the property and a 50 ft. buffer surrounding the pond.
However, a mapped wetland (as depicted on the City of South Burlington Wetlands
Delineation Project map and shown on the map on page 1 of this report) and corresponding
buffer to the west of the pond is not shown on the plans. Furthermore, the development of
structures is proposed to occur in the location of this mapped wetland. Although, the local
accuracy of this data must be verified in the field, it is the applicant's responsibility to provide
such verification from a qualified wetlands consultant.
4. If a wetlands delineation on the property confirms that the proposed construction of the
4 duplexes encroaches into the CO District, the applicant must provide evidence
prepared by a qualified wetlands consultant that the encroachment will not adversely
affect wetland functions as described in Section 3.503 of the Zoning Regulations.
If encroachment into the CO District is proposed, the applicant must provide evidence that the
encroachment will not adversely affect wetland functions as described in Section 3.503 of the
Zoning Regulations. Accordingly, the proposed encroachment should not alter the water
storage capacity, water quality, wetland functions and values, or wildlife and fisheries habitat
provided by the wetland.
Pursuant to Section 3.40 of the Zoning Regulations, approved uses within the CO District shall
be subject to the following standards:
(a) No use shall damage or otherwise alter adversely the character of soils or
vegetation, or impair the quantity or quality of surface water or ground water.
Appropriate erosion control measures to be used during and after construction are detailed on
Sheet 6 of the plans. The plans indicate that silt fencing and hale bale check damns will be
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary srp doc
utilized. However, Staff notes that the proposal involves completely filling a mapped wetland.
The applicant has not yet provided evidence concerning the delineation of and potential
impacts on this mapped wetland.
(b) Excavation or filling shall be permitted only to the extent necessitated by an
approved use.
Staff recommends that this standard be included as a condition of approval. However, in
addition, the applicant must provide evidence that any proposed encroachment into the CO
District will not adversely affect wetland functions.
(c) The cutting or removal of trees or other natural vegetation shall be allowed only
to the extent necessitated by an approved use.
5. The plans need to be revised to show the extent of removal of existing vegetation
within the CO District.
The plans do not indicate whether or to what extent existing trees or other natural vegetation
will be disturbed.
(d) Any application for a use within the CO District requiring review by the DRB shall
require review and comment by the South Burlington Natural Resources
Committee (NRC).
The NRC reviewed the plans at its March 6, 2003 meeting. The NRC recommended that the
DRB continue the preliminary plan hearing until the applicant provides a wetlands delineation
and analysis of wetland impacts, which can be reviewed by the NRC (See Appendix A).
Section 26.202(b) of the Zoninq Regulations
6. Staff recommends that the applicant withdraw this preliminary plan application and
resubmit a new preliminary plan application to be considered under the proposed Land
Development Regulations.
Pursuant to Section 26.202(b) of the Zoning Regulations, the DRB shall require roads serving
more than 3 units to be public roads. The proposal is presumably for a private street. The
proposed Land Development Regulations would allow the DRB to approve a private roadway
with a single access on a public roadway if it serves no more than 10 dwelling units. If the
applicant desires that the proposed roadway be private, Staff recommends that the application
be withdrawn and resubmitted to be considered under the proposed regulations.
Subdivision Development Requirements & Design Standards
Section 400 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations establishes general design
requirements for subdivisions according to the following categories.
Streets
7. The applicant must submit alternative proposed names for the road serving the
development.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary srp doc
Section 401.1(e) requires that streets are identified by name on the final subdivision plat. Therefore,
the applicant must submit alternative proposed names for the shared road to be considered by the
Planning Commission prior to final plan approval.
Pursuant to Section 401.1(k) of the Subdivision Regulations, the DRB may approve a private
roadway serving 3 or less separate residential lots. The proposed road will serve 5 residential units
on 2 lots.
8. Staff recommends granting a waiver to allow the proposed 18 ft. road width pursuant to
Section 513 of the Subdivision Regulations. However, the plans need to be revised to
provide a complete cross -sectional detail of the proposed road and station locations should
be shown along the entire length corresponding to a road profile.
Pursuant to Section 401.1(i) of the Subdivision Regulations, all private roads must be built to the
minimum standards for public roads. However, curbing may be waived and width can be a
minimum of 24 ft. wide without parking. The plans show an 18 ft. wide paved roadway. Staff
believes this is an appropriate width for the relatively small residential subdivision proposed and
recommends that the DRB grant a waiver on the road width pursuant to Section 513 of the
Subdivision Regulations. However, more construction details need to be provided demonstrating
appropriate slope and drainage. Sheet 4 of the plans includes a partial cross-section entitled
"Paved Driveway Section." The plans need to be revised to include a complete cross-section of the
proposed 18 ft. wide road and station locations along the entire length corresponding to a road
profile.
Lot Layout
Proposed lots comply with the minimum standard width to length ratio of 1 to 5. However, without
appropriate wetlands information, Staff cannot determine whether lots are laid out such that they
can be developed in full compliance with the Zoning Regulations and with consideration to natural
constraints on the subject property.
Pedestrian Access
9. Concurrent with final plan submission, the applicant must submit a draft easement deed for
the proposed recreation path easement, which shall be reviewed and accepted by the City
Attorney.
The Recreation Path Committee (RPC) reviewed the sketch plan for the proposed development in
November 2002. The RPC recommended that a 20 ft. recreation path easement be provided along
Van Sicklen Road and also along the easterly side of the property (See Appendix B). Accordingly,
the preliminary plans show a 20 ft. recreation path easement to be dedicated to the City of South
Burlington. The applicant must submit a draft easement deed for this recreation path easement,
which shall be reviewed and accepted by City Attorney Tim Eustace.
Water
10. The applicant must abide by all requirements outlined by Water Superintendent Jay
Nadeau in his letter dated March 7, 2003.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Subdivision Regulations, the municipal water system shall be
extended to provide adequate water supply at an acceptable pressure for the proposed subdivision.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary srp doc
The plans were reviewed by Water Superintendent Jay Nadeau. The applicant will need to abide by
all requirements outlined by Mr. Nadeau in his letter dated March 7, 2003 (See Appendix C).
Fire Protection
11. The Fire Chief needs to review the revised plans prior to final plan approval by the DRB.
Section 405 of the Subdivision Regulations requires that the plans be reviewed by the Fire Chief or
a designee to insure that adequate fire protection can be provided. On November 1, 2002, Fire
Chief Doug Brent provided comments on the previously submitted sketch plan for the subject
property (See Appendix D). Mr. Brent indicated that water availability for fire suppression is currently
inadequate and residential sprinkler systems should be installed. Staff notes that the preliminary
plans include a fire hydrant at the end of the extended water line on Lot 2. The plans should be
reviewed again by Mr. Brent prior to final approval by the DRB.
Sewage Disposal
12. The applicant must obtain final wastewater allocation approval for the proposed
development.
Pursuant to Section 406.1 of the Subdivision Regulations, the applicant will need to obtain final
wastewater allocation approval from the Director of Planning and Zoning prior to final subdivision
approval by the DRB.
Utility Lines
13. The City Engineer shall review and approve the location and ownership of all utility
easements.
Section 407 of the Subdivision Regulations requires that utility lines be underground. Underground
water and sewer lines are shown on the plans. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and
offered comments (See Appendix E). Locations of the proposed utility corridors are appropriate.
Outdoor Lighting
In accordance with Section 408 of the Subdivision Regulations, outdoor lighting shall be provided in
compliance with the site plan and performance standards set forth in the Zoning Regulations.
However, Staff notes that the site plan and performance standards set forth in the Zoning
Regulations do not apply to single family residential lots such as the proposed Lot 1. Outdoor
lighting for Lot 2 will be evaluated below under Site Plan Review Standards.
Storm Drainage
14. The stormwater drainage plans must comply with the requirements of Section 409 of the
Subdivision Regulations. In addition, the City Engineer shall approve the stormwater
drainage plan prior to final plan approval by the DRB.
Section 409.1 of the Subdivision Regulations requires the applicant to plan for the removal of spring
or surface water resulting from the proposed development. The design of the drainage system shall
use natural waterways and drainageways to the fullest extent possible. Stormwater drainage
facilities must be located within street right-of-ways where feasible, or within unobstructed
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary srp doc
easements of appropriate width. The City Engineer shall approve the stormwater drainage plan.
Pursuant to Section 409.2, drainage facilities must be large enough to accommodate potential
runoff from the entire upstream drainage area under conditions of total potential development.
Pursuant to Section 409.3, the stormwater drainage plans must include an assessment of the effect
of the proposed development on existing downstream drainage facilities.
Monumentation
15. A survey plat must be submitted showing appropriate monumentation at all lot comers
pursuant to Section 410 of the Subdivision Regulations. In addition, the survey plat must
identify all relevant zoning district boundaries.
Section 410 of the Subdivision Regulations requires that appropriate survey monumentation be set
at all lot corners and angle points. In addition, Section 203.1(h) of the Subdivision Regulations
requires preliminary plan applications to include a complete survey of the subject property prepared
by a licensed land surveyor. The plans no not include a survey plat. Consequently, the applicant
must submit a survey plat that includes appropriate monumentation and identifies all zoning district
boundaries, including CO District boundaries, and boundaries between SEQ restricted areas and
development areas.
Open Space & Recreation Areas
Adequate open space and recreation areas are provided
Site Preservation & Landscaping
Section 412 of the Subdivision Regulations establishes standards for site preservation and
landscaping. Section 412.3 establishes guidelines for erosion and sediment control during and after
construction. Erosion control plans are included and detailed on Sheet 6 of the plans. Pursuant to
Section 412.4, two trees shall be planted on each residential lot. Lot 1 is primarily wooded and
already developed, and Lot 2 will contain existing trees and other vegetation. However, the
applicant should provide additional information about what existing vegetation may be removed.
Landscaping plans will be reviewed below under Site Plan Review Standards.
Excavation & Grading
16. Excavation and grading plans must comply with Section 413 of the Subdivision Regulations.
Energy Conservation
17. The plans should demonstrate energy efficient design as detailed in Section 414 of the
Subdivision Regulations.
Pursuant to Section 414 of the Subdivision Regulations, the proposed subdivision shall be
designed to take advantage of solar radiation and landscaping should be designed to provide wind
barriers and reduce heat loss and heat gain. In addition, the length of roadways and utilities shall be
minimized. Landscaping will need to be evaluated as noted above.
Utility Easements
18. Concurrent with final plan submission, the applicant must submit draft easement deeds for
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary srp doc
all necessary utility easements.
Utility easements are shown. As indicated already, these must be shown and approved by the City
Engineer. In addition, all legal documents pertaining to utility easements must be reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney.
Directional Signs & Addresses
Addresses must be installed in accordance with Section 416 of the subdivision regulations. In
addition, the addresses of all residences shall be appropriately labeled on the final plat.
PRD Review Standards
Pursuant to Section 26.15 of the Zoning Regulations, PRDs shall comply with the following
standards and conditions:
(a) Will not result in undue water or air pollution. In making this determination the DRB
shall at least consider (1) the availability and capacity of municipal sewer facilities or
the nature of soils and subsoils and their ability to support waste disposal
adequately, (2) the elevation of land above sea level and in relation to floodplains, (3)
protection of ground and surface water through appropriate vegetative buffers and
retention structures, and (4) all applicable State of Vermont regulations.
19. The plans need to be revised to show detailed stormwater drainage plans
No on -site wastewater treatment is proposed. Erosion control and landscaping plans are included;
however, stormwater treatment measures and facilities are not detailed. As indicated already in this
report, the applicant needs to provide a wetlands delineation and analysis of wetlands impacts.
(b) Will have sufficient water available for the foreseeable needs of the development
20. Staff recommends that the comments of Water Superintendent Jay Nadeau dated March 7,
2003 be incorporated as conditions of approval.
Water Superintendent Jay Nadeau has reviewed the plans and provided a number of comments in
a letter dated March 7, 2003 (See Appendix C). Staff recommends that Mr. Nadeau's comments be
incorporated as conditions of the DRB's approval.
(c) Will not cause unreasonable soil erosion or reduction in the capacity of the land to
hold water so that a dangerous or unhealthy condition may result
In addition to the stormwater drainage details, the plans must include acceptable details of erosion
control measures to be used during and after construction. The erosion control plans must meet the
standards set forth in Section 413 of the Subdivision Regulations. Grading and erosion control
plans are detailed on Sheet 6 of the plans.
(d) Will not cause unreasonable highway congestion or unsafe conditions with respect to
the use of highways, existing or proposed.
The existing curb cut will be replaced by a new shared curb cut. The plans do not provide a
measure of sight distance for the new curb cut. Five dwelling units are proposed for the site. This is
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 9 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\singh\preliminary.srp.doc
an increase of 4 units. Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) data indicate that residential
condominiums generate on average 0.54 trips per dwelling unit per weekday PM peak hour of an
adjacent street. According to ITE data then, the proposed development on Lot 2 will generate
approximately 2.16 trip ends per weekday PM peak hour of an adjacent street. Staff does not
believe that the proposed development will cause a significant reduction in level of service on roads
in the vicinity.
(e) Will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of the city to provide
educational services or facilities.
The addition of 4 units of housing will result in relatively minimal impact on the South Burlington
School District.
(� Will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of the city to provide municipal
or governmental services and facilities.
The applicant will need to abide by the requirements of the Water Superintendent, Fire Chief, and
City Engineer.
(g) Will protect important natural resources, including streams, wetlands, scenic views,
wildlife habitats, and special natural features.
21. The applicant must provide details on the proposed management and protection
mechanisms for open space within the development.
Pursuant to Section 26.153 of the Zoning Regulations, open space within the proposed PRD shall
be protected by appropriate legal mechanisms to insure its maintenance and appropriate use.
Accordingly, the applicant must provide details on the proposed management and protection
mechanisms for open space within the development. Such information may include draft deed
covenants or other legal mechanisms. Draft legal documents need to be reviewed and approved by
City Attorney Tim Eustace.
(h) Will not have an undue adverse effect on the scenic or natural beauty of the area, is
aesthetically compatible with surrounding developed properties and will protect rare
and irreplaceable natural areas and historic sites.
Staff believes the project is aesthetically compatible with surrounding developed properties. No
historic or rare and irreplaceable natural areas are known to occur on the subject property.
(i) Will provide convenient allocation and distribution of common space in relation to
proposed development and will conform to the city's recreation plan.
The proposed development does not conflict with the South Burlington recreation plan. As noted
already, the plans show a 20 ft. recreation path easement pursuant to the request of the RPC.
(j) 1146111 provide efficient layout and high -quality installation, construction, and
maintenance of public facilities and conform to the city's street and utility plan.
These standards are evaluated above under subdivision development requirements and design
standards.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 10 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\sinah\preliminary. srp doc
(k) Will provide for cooperation with adjoining properties in the extension of roadways,
drainage facilities, and utility lines.
Direct utility and vehicular access is provided off of Van Sicklen Road for the proposed
development. Cooperation with adjoining landowners is necessary for the sewer main, and Water
Superintendent Jay Nadeau has requested that the applicant coordinate the installation of a water
line with the Summersweet Subdivision to the east of the subject property.
(I) Will conform to the city's Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan establishes a goal for the SEQ District of promoting development that
protects and preserves contiguous areas of open space and important natural resources. The
proposed PRD offers an appropriate density to accomplish these goals, but as indicated already,
the applicant must provide a wetlands delineation and analysis of impacts of any encroachment into
the CO District. The Comprehensive Plan also establishes the goal of providing an extensive off -
road path system to residents. Accordingly, the proposed PRD includes a 20 ft. wide recreation
path easement.
Site Plan Review Standards
In accordance with Section 26.154(b) of the zoning regulations, PRD applications shall be
reviewed under the site plan requirements. Pursuant to Section 26.102 of the Zoning
Regulations, the DRB may consider the following in its review of a site plan application:
(a) Pedestrian and vehicular access.
Pedestrian and vehicular access is discussed above.
(b) Circulation.
Circulation is two-way on the multifamily lot and two hammerhead turnarounds are provided.
Driveway width is indicated to be 18 ft. As noted above, Staff believes this is an appropriate
width for the proposed development of 4 new residential units on Lot 2 and in keeping with the
requirements of Section 26.254 of the Zoning Regulations.
(c) Parking.
22. The plans need to be revised to clarify the number of parking spaces proposed.
The site plan shows 10 exterior parking spaces, and presumably 10 garage spaces. However,
the plans should be revised to confirm the number of garage spaces. Pursuant to Section
26.252 of the Zoning Regulations, the number of off-street parking spaces on the site must
meet the requirements in listed Table 3.

- \drb\sub\sinyh\preliminat� srp doc
Pursuant to section 26.253(b), bicycle parking shall be provided for residents on the subject
property. A bicycle rack is indicated nearest Unit #4.
(d) Landscaping, screening, and outdoor lighting.
A cedar hedgerow is proposed along the easterly boundary of Lot 1 adjacent to the proposed road.
Furthermore, a number of tree and shrub plantings are proposed for Lot 2. Staff notes that the 3
trees shown southerly of the pond on Lot 2 are mislabeled "PS," whereas the plant list includes 3
Austrian Pines (PN). Plants within the 4 planting beds outside of each duplex unit are not labeled,
but it is fairly clear from the plant list which plants are which. Public Works Arborist Craig Lambert
has review the landscaping plans and offered a number of comments regarding tree plantings (See
Appendix F). In particular, Mr. Lambert outlines advisable tree planting details. He also
recommends moving the 4 Japanese Tree Lilacs further from the rear of the duplex structure to
prevent the need for excessive pruning.
23. The applicant needs to provide evidence that the proposed landscaping plan meets or
exceeds the minimum landscaping costs. Such evidence may include more landscape
plantings to screen new development or restore disturbed areas on the subject property.
The applicant has provided a building const estimate of $480,000, which requires minimum
landscaping costs of $12,100 for Lot 2. Although the cedar hedge is proposed to be planted on Lot
1 along the Lot 1 /Lot 2 property boundary, Staff feels it is appropriate to include it in order to
determine whether minimum landscaping costs are met. The proposed landscaping supplements
existing vegetation and appears to offer an acceptable level of screening; however, Staff estimates
that the costs of the proposed landscaping will not meet the $12,100 minimum required cost.
Therefore, the applicant should provide evidence that the proposal meets or exceeds the minimum
required landscaping costs. Such evidence may include more landscape plantings to screen new
development or restore disturbed areas on the subject property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the DRB recommend that the applicant withdraw this application and
resubmit a new preliminary plan application that addresses the items noted in the comments
section above. In particular, the plans must include a wetlands delineation prepared by a qualified
wetlands consultant and a survey plat. A resubmitted preliminary plat application would be reviewed
under the proposed Land Development Regulations allowing the DRB to approve a private
roadway to serve the proposed development.

Re: Narinder Singh, Van Sicklen Road
Dear Juli:
I have reviewed the plans for the proposed construction of the planned residential
development on Van Sicklen Road. I have also made a site visit to try to envision the
siting of this project. I have the following recommendations:
1. Compliance with all requirements of Vermont Labor and Industry Fire Prevention
Division codes and standards.
2. Due to travel distance from South Burlington Fire Department Station 1 all multi-
unit buildings should be provided with automatic residential sprinklers.
3. Installation of the necessary fire alarms required for an occupancy such as this.
4. Fire Department Sprinkler Connection location to be specified by SBFD.
Number and location of fire hydrants to be determined by the South Burlington
Water Department. Actual final spotting of said hydrants to be done jointly with
SBFD.
At this point these seem to be the major issues which present themselves. As this
project moves forward additional items may surface which could be dealt with as needed
with the assistance of the owner and Labor and Industry. Should you need any further
assistance on this project please feel free to contact me.

1. Trees shall be planted such that each tree's root collar is at or slightly
above final grade (elevating the root collar above final grade will
enhance survival in heavy, poorly drained soils).
2. Tree wrap can be used for protection during transport but should be
removed after planting is completed.
3. The planting hole shall be dug 2-3 times the diameter of the root ball
with sloping sides. The root ball shall be placed on undisturbed soil to
prevent settling and shifting of the tree.
4. Stake trees only when needed (high winds, trees with light container
root balls, etc...). When staking is required, trees should be staked
loosely to allow the trunk to sway. Stakes shall be removed after 1
year.
5. Existing soil shall be used as backfill unless of such poor quality as to
be detrimental to plant growth. Clods shall be broken up and stones,
roots, and debris larger than 1 inch shall be removed from backfill.
6. All burlap, ties, and wire cages shall be cut away or folded into the
bottom of the planting hole.
7. A 2-4 inch layer of mulch shall be placed over the root ball and backfill.
Mulch shall not be placed against the tree trunk.
II. 1 recommend moving the tree lilacs further away from the buildings.
Mature crown size for these trees is 15-20 feet. In the current location, the
trees will soon grow into the buildings, requiring excessive pruning.

3. Freliminary Flat Application #5D-03-10 of A & M Construction. The applicant is
requesting preliminary plat approval for a 2-lot, 5 unit planned residential
development at 100 Van 5icklen Road. The subject property contains
approximately 4.57 acres and falls within the 5outheast Quadrant District.
Fortions of the subject property also fall within the Conservation and Open

Mr. McClellan showed an air photo of the property. It is the second property down the
hill and now has an existing house and access. The applicant would subdivide the lot into
2 lots. The existing house would remain on one lot. The existing drive would be closed,
and the house and second lot would share a common access. The private utilities would
be abandoned and all utilities would become municipal.

Mr. McClellan Said there is a wetland Shown on the city map. He went out with Cathy
O'Brien last week, and She determined there is not wetland in the proposed development
area.
The proposed common drive would be in an Open Space zone. Members were OK with this
as a trade-off for closing the one curb out.
Mr. McClellan Said that zoning lines would be added to the plan. He then asked if the
owners could mow the lawn up to the pond to use the pond for swimming. Mr. Belair said
there is a question of whether it is a use that predates the zoning regulations. This is a
unique situation as this is a CO District that was created by a homeowner. Mr. Dinklage
suggested checking with the Natural Resources Committee. Mr. McClellan noted that
the City Engineer recommends putting a fence around the pond for safety. Mr. Dinklage
said when the pond is transformed into an "attractive nuisance" the liability of the
homeowners would come into play.
Mr. McClellan said the buildings would be oriented to look at Camel's Hump.
There is a 20-foot easement at the request of the Rec Path Committee. Mr. McClellan
showed the location.
Jay Nadeau of the Water Department wants a water connection to 5ummersweet. The
applicant said they would give the Water Dept. what they want. They will also comply
with what the Fire Chief wants.
Mr. McClellan showed the route of the sewer system. The City Engineer is concerned
about ledge. The applicant indicated they will construct it with that in mind.
There will be no freestanding pole -mounted lights in the development. All lighte would be
mounted on the building. Cut sheets will be provided.
All drainage would be surface drainage. Mr. McClellan showed the location of swalee and
noted that everything winds up in the pond before it goes anywhere.

15 MARCH 2O03
FAGE 3
Mr. Gage, owner of the property due east of the project, Said that the pond leaks, and
he is concerned with any additional water going into it. He Said the water from the pond
ends up in his basement. Mr. McClellan Said the rate of flow into the pond would be 1e55
even though the volume will be more. Mr. Dinklage Suggested Mr. Gage think about what
he might ask of the developer in order to addreoo the problems with water from the
pond.
Mr. Gage asked when the wetland wao ae0000ed. Mr. McClellan Said last Thursday. All
the qualities needed for a wetland were assessed and none were found to be present.
Mr. Boucher asked about a road study at Hinesburg Rd/Van 5icklen Load intersection.
Mr. 5elair noted there would be improvements to that intersection required for the
Marceau development.
Mr. McClellan Suggested they might divert some of the Surface water to the opposite
Side of the existing berm so that it won't get into the pond.
Mr. Gravelin asked if the pond could be drained. He felt it was a menace. He said he wao
told it wasn't drained because it is a wetland. He Suggested having a drain So that in
normal circumstances it would drain dry. Mr. Dinklage asked the applicant to deal with
the Natural Kesourceo Committee on this i55ue.
Mr. McClellan then asked to withdraw the application.
4. 5ite flan Application #5F-03-02 and Conditional USe Application #CU-03-02 of

Dear Bill:
Michael Gravelin, A&M Construction, is prepared to construct the roadway to access his project off
of Van Sicklen Road. For this phase of construction, the City requires a letter of credit or bond from
A&M Construction for the construction cost of this roadway.
The roadway is 300 +/- feet, 26 feet wide (no curbs, sidewalks, or utilities). We estimate the

2 DECEMBER 2003
Brian Belisle said he is concerned the ditch won't do what they say it will.
Ms. Quimby moved to approve Final Plat Application #SD-03-74 of The Snyder Group, Inc.,
subject stipulation in the draft motion as amended above. Mr. Farley seconded. Motion passed
5-1 with Mr. Boucher opposing.
4. Continued Site Plan Application #SP-03-38 of Wesco, Inc., to amend a plan for an
existing 1600 sq. ft. service station with eight fueling positions: six gasoline and two diesel.
The amendment consists of: 1) converting the service station to a convenience store with 12
seat deli, 2) constructing a 456 sq. ft. addition for convenience store use, 3) eliminating one
gasoline pump (two fueling positions), 4) relocating two gasoline pumps (four fueling
positions under current canopy), and 5) replacing and relocating existing diesel pump (two
fueling positions) with a new pump (2 fueling positions) and a 24"x24" canopy, 1,118
Williston Rd:
Mr. Simindinger said they are fine with the proposed decision.
Mr. Dinklage questioned the size of the canopy which seems too big for just 2 fuel pumps. Mr.
Simindinger asked the Board to approve it and they will come back with a new canopy design.
Mr. Belair said this is a non -complying structure and if it is removed, it has to be replaced with a
compliant structure.
Mr. Boucher moved to approve Site Plan Application #SP-03-38 of Wesco, Inc., subject to the
stipulations in the draft motion. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
5. Public hearing: Final Plat Application #SD-03-73 of A&M Construction Corp. For a
planned unit development consisting of: 1) subdividing a 4.6 acre lot into two lots of 1.3
acres (lot #1) , and 3.3 acres (lot #2) and 2) constructing two 2-family dwellings on lot #2,
100 Van Sicklen Road:
Mr. McClellan said there has been one change since preliminary plat: the private drive has
become a public street. There will be no sidewalks or curbs per an agreement with Bruce Hoar.
Mr. Belair said a stipulation will have to be added for that.
There will also have to be a stipulation to waive setbacks.
Mr. Belair said the Water Dept. can't look at the plan till tomorrow. There is a condition that
they must approve it, so there may be infrastructure changes before recording.
Stipulation 3e was deleted.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD
2 DECEMBER 2003
Mr. Kupferman asked if the homeowners association will maintain the pond as it is. Mr.
McClellan said the intent is to lower the level and keep it as a storage pond. Mr. Gage, who lives
to the east of the project said there is a flow from the pond down the north side of his property
line. There will be a change in overland flow, and he is concerned with changing the height of
the pond as wildlife may be affected. He asked why it is being done. Mr. McClellan said to
create more storage at the surface. The well that feeds the pond will be shut off. The pond will
become more of a stormwater pond. Mr. Gage said there will be more fluctuation in the pond if
they do that. Mr. McClellan didn't think so. I
�I
Mr. Gage also noted the entrance onto Van Sickley Rd. is an issue because there are so many
close calls in that area. He asked where the entrance is. Mr. McClellan said it is after where the I
road evens out and starts to come up again. Mr. Gage noted the road has become an unfriendly
place to be. You can't walk or bike there. He felt it will be hazardous. Mr. Dinklage said
residents should keep reporting incidents to the police.
Mr. Gage said clearly Muddy Brook has been altered by the Snyder project. He felt it needs to be
looked at.
Mr. Gage also noted they have a well and he wants an assurance it will not be altered by this
project. Mr. McClellan said they are not injecting anything into the sub -surface. Chances of
surface water getting into the well are very slim. Mr. Belair asked if there will be blasting. Mr.
McClellan said maybe. Mr. Belair said that can affect a well. Mr. Gage said he wanted
assurance that the applicant will solve any problem they are involved in creating. Mr. McClellan
said they would solve any problems.
Ms. Quimby moved to approve Final Plat application #SD-03-73 of A&M Construction Corp.
subject to the stipulations in the draft motion as amended above. Mr. Farley seconded. Motion
passed unanimously.
6. Miscellaneous application #MS-03-05 of James Carris to encroach into a Class II
wetland buffer with a single family dwelling, 7 Beechwood Dane:
Mr. Carris said they want to build a retirement house as the last home on Beechwood Lane. He
referred to letters from Cathy O'Brien saying there would be minimal impact to the wetland and
also minutes of the Natural Resources Committee outlining a stipulation. Mr. Dinklage asked if
any fill will be required. Mr. Carris said no.
Mr. Belair suggested a "before and after" contour plan. Mr. Carris said he will do that.
Mr. Kupferman was concerned with putting houses in buffers. He asked if can be moved closer
to the road and not require the setback. Mr. Belair said a variance would be required, but they
might meet the criteria.

Density
This lot supports a density of five (5) units (1.2 units/acre x 4.6 acres = 5.52) and five (5) units are
proposed. The acreage of the developable area on the subject property is 2.06 acres. Thus, the allowable
density with the calculation is eight (8) units (4 units/acre x 2.06 acres = 8.24). The subject property
meets the density requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Restricted Area
No buildings are proposed within SEQ restricted areas. An existing residential drive is proposed to be
removed and replaced with a shared drive to serve all 5 units. The shared drive will pass through the SEQ
restricted area, and the new driveway for the existing house falls almost entirely within the restricted area.
Pursuant to Section 9.06 (B) of the Land Development Regulations, the construction of roads to serve
approved development is allowed within SEQ restricted areas. In addition, utilities must be placed
underground and public recreation paths are allowed. The plans show underground water and wastewater
lines crossing the SEQ restricted area. Electrical and telephone lines are not shown on the plans. A

recreation path easement is also shown within the restricted area.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the proposed Land Development Regulations PUDs shall comply with the
following standards and conditions:
(a) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the
project
Pursuant to Section 15.13(B)(1), municipal water service must be extended to serve the proposed
development. Prior to final plat approval, the applicant must obtain final water allocation approval from the
South Burlington Water Department.
1. The applicant .shall comply with the requests of the South Burlington Water Department, as outlined in the
letters from Jay Nadeau, dated March 7, 2003 and May 19, 2003 (attached).
2. The applicant shall obtain final wastewater allocation approval from the Director of Planning and Zoning,
Juh Beth Hoover, prior to issuance of a zoning permit.
(b) Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during and after construction to prevent
soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property
and adjacent properties.
Grading and erosion control details are on Sheet 6 of the plans.
3. The proposed project shall adhere to standards_ for erosion control as set forth in Section 16.03 of the
South Burlington Land Development Regulations. In addition, the grading plan shall meet the standards set
forth in Section 16.04 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations.
(e) The project incorporates access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to
prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads.
The driveway serving the house on lot #1 will be eliminated. A new 18' wide private road will be
constructed to serve both parcels. This private road does not comply with Section 15.12(C)(3) (a) of the
Land Development Regulations. This Section requires a public road to serve the proposed project. The
applicant has been made aware of this conflict between the plans and the Land Development Regulations
and will be revising the plans to attempt to come into compliance with this requirement. Circulation is
two-way throughout the site and staff believes the circulation plan is adequate.
4. The applicant shall revise the plans to come into compliance with Section 15.12(C) (3) of the Land
Development Regulations, which requires the road serving the proposed project to be built to public
specifications, prior to final plat plan approval.
(d) The project's design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams, wildlife
habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on the site.
The plans show a 50-foot wetland buffer around the man-made pond. No encroachment is proposed
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\a&m\final.doc
within the buffer. The City's Wetland Map indicates that a wetland is present in the area where the two
(2) structures are proposed. A report from Cathy O'Brien, dated March 17, 2003 (attached) indicates that
this area is not a wetland and the wetland map is in error.
(e) The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in the
area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning distriet(s) in which it
is located
Staff feels the proposed project is visually compatible with the planned development pattern in the area and is
in conformance with the stated purpose of the SEQ, as outlined in Section 9.01 of the South Burlington Land
Development Regulations.
(� Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for
creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas
Between the restricted areas and the existing pond on the site, staff feels that open space areas on the subject
property are sufficient.
(g) The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or (designee) to ensure
that adequate fire protection can be provided
The South Burlington Fire Chief has reviewed the plans for the proposed project.
S. The applicant shall comply with the requests of the South Burlington Fire Department, as outlined in the
letter from Chief Brent dated November 11, 2002 (attached).
(h) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting
have been designed in a manner that & compatible with the extension of such services and
infrastructure to adjacent landowners
The plans depict two (2) proposed 20' wide utility easements on the property, both running from the property
line along Van Sicklen Road. There is also a 15' wide utility easement extending from the proposed roadway
to Lot #1. In addition, the plans depict a 20' wide recreation easement along the southerly and easterly
property lines, as requested by the Recreation Path Committee in their letter dated November 5, 2002
(attached).
(i) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards
Staff feels the proposed road, utilities, and recreation easement are sufficient. The applicant has not
submitted exterior lighting details (cut -sheets) for the proposed units.
6. Exterior lighting shall comply with Section 13.07 of the Land Development Regulations. In addition,
exterior lighting details shall be submitted to the Administrative Officer for approval, prior to issuance of a
zoning permit.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\a&m\final.doc
7. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and
service modifications shall be underground
8. The plans shall be revised to comply with the requests of the City Engineer, as outlined in his comments
dated November 13, 2003 (attached).
G) The project & consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected
district(s).
The Comprehensive Plan establishes a goal for the SEQ District of promoting development that protects
and preserves contiguous areas to open space and important natural resources. The proposed project
offers an appropriate density to accomplish these goals.
The Comprehensive Plan also establishes the goal of providing an extensive off -road path system to
residents. Accordingly, the proposed project includes a 20-foot wide recreation path easement.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site plan
approval. Section 14.06 establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications:
(a) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure
to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and adequate
parking areas.
Staff feels the project accomplishes a desirable transition from structure to site and from structure to structure.
The applicant has submitted an adequate landscaping plan. In addition, the project has incorporated a 20'
wide recreation easement through the property, in compliance with the requests of the Recreation Path
Committee.
According to Table 13-1 in Section 13.01(B) of the Land Development Regulations, a total of nine (9)
spaces are required for the two (2) duplexes and 16 spaces are provided (eight (8) covered spaces and
eight (8) surface spaces).
Section 13.01(6)(5) requires that bicycle parking or storage facilities are provided for employees, residents,
and visitors to the site. A bicycle rack is depicted on the plans.
(b) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable.
Parking spaces are provided in the garages of the proposed units and in the driveways if the proposed units.
(c) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and scale of
each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or adjoining buildings -
The scale of the proposed buildings is compatible with the site and existing buildings in the area. The height
of the proposed buildings is 30', which is under the 40' height maximum for the City.
i
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\a&mlfinal.doc
(d) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or
building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground
Staff has already noted that the utility lines must be underground.
(e) The DRB shall encourage the use of a combination of common materials and architectural
characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive
transitions between buildings of different architectural styles.
No information on architectural elements is provided. Staff does not feel it is necessary for the Development
Review Board to review the architectural details of the proposed project.
(n Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to existing
buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed structures.
Again, details of architectural elements have not been provided.
In addition to the above general review standards site plan applications shall meet the following specific
standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the Land Development Regulations:
(a) The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties
whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial of collector street,
to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and
circulation in the area.
The existing driveway off of Van Sicklen Road is proposed to be eliminated, with a new driveway to be
constructed off of the proposed private roadway. Therefore, all five (5) units will be access via one (1) curb -
cut. As indicated previously in this report, the proposed project must be served by a public street. Staff does
not feel there is a need to provide additional access easements on the property.
(b) Electric, telephone and other wire -served utility lines and service connections shall be
underground Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a
harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site.
Staff has already indicated that utility lines must be underground.
(c) All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any recycling
or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to
ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s).
There are no dumpsters proposed for the project.
Landscaping
Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening
shall be required for all uses subject to site plan and PUD review.

Pursuant to Section 13.06(B)(4) of the Land Development Regulations, snow storage areas must be shown on
the plans. The plans do not show snow storage areas.
9. The plans shall be revised to clearly depict adequate snow storage areas, prior to recording of the final
plat plan.
Landscaping budget requirements are to be determined pursuant to Section 13.06(G)(2) of the Land
Development Regulations, and shall be prepared by a landscape architect or professional landscape designer.
Based on the proposed project costs, the minimum landscape requirement is $12,000. The applicant has
submitted a landscape plan and landscape budget that indicates $12,090 of landscaping is proposed for the
site.
10. The applicant shall post a landscape bond for $12, 000, prior to the issuance of the first zoning permit.
This bond shall remain in effect for three (3) years to assure that the landscaping has taken root and has
a good chance of surviving.
The City Arborist reviewed and approved the plans on June 20, 2003. His comments are attached.
Stormwater
Stormwater treatment is proposed via overland flow to the existing man-made pond on the easterly side of the
property.
11. Stormwater drainage plans must comply with the Vermont Stormwater Management Manual, pursuant to
Section 15.13(F) of the Land Development Regulations.
Other
The plans include street addresses based on E-911 addressing standards.
12. Pursuant to Section 15.17 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the applicant shall
submit a Certificate of Title showing the ownership of all property and easements to be dedicated or
acquired by the City, and said Certificate of Title shall be approved by the City Attorney.
13. The plans shall be revised to indicate the correct lot coverage information, as described in the
application, prior to recording of the final plat plans.

An amended landscape plan was presented with more detail on plantings. A planting
analysis plan was done and this has been revised to accommodate changes in the plan.
Mr. Nedde then reviewed the encroachments into and crossing of buffers. There are no
impacts from buildings. Mr. Belair noted that Cathy O'Brien felt this is the best plan
for this number of units.
Mr. Boucher was concerned that some units have no back yards, and he felt people will
use the wetlands for a backyard and begin cutting there. Mr. Nedde said there will be a
physical barrier to prevent that. Mr. Bolton said the development documents should
indicate that lawns cannot extend into the wetland and that trees cannot be cut. Mr.
Belair stressed that there is no regular check-up on this by staff. Mr. Dinklage noted
that since the development is right on the banks of Potash Brook, there is reason to give it
a lot of scrutiny. Mr. Bolton said he would like the City Attorney to review the condo
documents to be sure they cover the Board's concerns.
Mr. Nedde showed the location of newly created retention ponds: east of "A" building,
behind unit "C" adjacent to I-189 right of way (the largest one), between "D" Street and
units "X" and "W," and the pond that collects the runoff from Dorset St. just to the south
of the Dorset St. entrance.
Trees are not proposed on both sides of the major street, only on the side with the rec
path.
The city Arborist will review the plans.
Mr. Belair said he wants to see a full-size landscape plan so the Arborist can review it.
He also wants to see the results of the "what if s" with regard to turning lanes.
Mr Boucher then moved to continue the hearing until 16 September. Ms. Quimby
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
7. Public Hearing: Preliminary Plat Application #SD-03-37 of A&M
Construction Corporation, Inc., for a planned unit development consisting
of: 1) subdividing a 4.6 acre lot into two lots of 1.3 acres (lot #1) and 3.3 acres
(lot #2), and 2) constructing two 2-family dwellings on lot #2, 100 Van Sicklen
Road:
Mr. McClellan said they have resubmitted the same project under the new regulations.
They are OK with the easement for the rec path.

They are thinking of lowering the level of water in the man-made swimming pond (it is
now 5-6 feet deep). Mr. Belair said this is OK with staff.
Mr. Belair said there has to be a note on the plan regarding site distances. He had no
other issues.
Mr. Farley moved to approve preliminary plat application #SD-03-37 of A&M
Construction Corporation, Inc., subject to the stipulations in the draft motion of 15
July 2003. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
8. Public Hearing: Application #CU-03-11 of Joe and Tony Handy seeking
conditional use approval under Section 14.10, Conditional Use Review, of the
South Burlington Land Development Regulations. Request is for permission
to construct a 1000 sq. ft. addition to a convenience store, 1333 Williston
Road: and
9. Site Plan Application #SP-03-21 of Joe & Tony Handy to amend a previously
approved site plan consisting of: 1) a 6000 sq. ft. convenience store with
pumps (fueling positions), 2) a 6000 sq. ft. retail store, 3) a 2899 sq. ft.
restaurant with 110 seats. The amendment consists of: 1) constructing a
1000 sq. ft. of retail space addition to the existing convenience store, 2)
converting 2000 sq. ft. of retail space to general office use, and 3) converting
1000 sq. ft. of retail space to storage space for the 1000 sq. ft. of convenience
store expansion, 1333 Williston Road:
Mr. Dickinson noted this plan substitutes a general office use in the existing liquor store
to reduce the impact of traffic and parking. They feel that the relocation of the liquor
store to the convenience store is not an expansion of the convenience store and that the
only thing being added is the office use.
Mr. Dickinson said they are concerned that the conditional use application was accepted
and warned which was a "low blow" from staff and then in the new regulations the use is
"not allowed."
Mr. Bolton said that he went out and measured from the corner of the building to gas
pumps at 63 ft. With the addition, this would be cut to 43 ft. This makes a bad situation
even worse.
Mr. Boucher said he didn't understand how they can add a use and have the trip ends be
reduced.

Re: Van Sicklen Road Property
South Burlington, VT
Dear Skip:
The South Burlington Water Department has reviewed the preliminary plans for the
above referenced project. Please refer to my original comments of 10-18-02 and find
my comments below.
1. The South Burlington Water Ordinance requires a minimum pipe size to be
eight -inch (8"). Please correct the water main planned for this project to be
that required pipe size.
2. Fire flow conditions must be able to meet the requirements stated in the water
Specifications of this Department, as well as any conditions set forth by the
Fire Department. This area of Hinesburg Road is subject to conditions
relative to a dead end line downstream of large commercial customers. A
minimum 35 psi rule under normal conditions, and a minimum 20 psi rule
under fire flow conditions that are common in well looped systems may be
limited in this project area. Sufficient engineering and design must be
incorporated in order to meet State Water Supply Rule and the above
Specification requirements. This project may require the installation of a
water booster pump station to meet domestic and fire flow conditions. The
ownership of such a pump station would be private. Nearby projects at a
similar elevation have incorporated the use of a pump station, or smaller lines,
incapable of supplying minimum fire flow volumes.
3. Looping should be designed to connect to the Wessel project located north
east of this site. If system modeling determined that an eight -inch line was
not possible between the two projects, then a small line should be designed to
connect the two projects together that will eliminate two dead -ends and help
to improve water quality conditions.
4. The South Burlington Water Department ordinance states that "All water lines
and appurtenances not located in the City right-of-way or public grounds shall
be considered private pursuant to the ordinance and others of the City," and;
1 \l
5. "The Department shall not maintain any water lines that have not formally
been accepted by the City, except in subdivisions that are designed to
Department specifications and are intended to be accepted," and;
6. "All water lines and appurtenances located within an area so designated as
restricted or private by the developer shall be considered private." The
proposed water main would be considered private from the point that it
connects to the Stone House Commons water main to, Van Sicklen Road, and
from Van Sicklen Road down the drive for this project up to and including the
proposed hydrant. The further extension of the water line to loop into the
Wessel project would also be considered private up to the point within that
project that the City has ownership.
7. Historically, the South Burlington Water Department has practiced overseeing
the repair and maintenance of all water mains and appurtenances off from
those mains not located in the ROW or deeded over to the City after formal
approval.
8. It must be understood that this Department would only provide the service of
overseeing the repair and maintenance of all water mains and appurtenances
after we have inspected and approved the installation of the water main and
service lines beyond the City owned locations.
9. The property owner would have to provide access to the Department for the
means of undertaking water distribution emergency repairs and maintenance.
Access would also have to be provided to the Department for those curb stops
located outside the City ROW for disconnecting service to delinquent
accounts provided that the City of South Burlington follows the requirements
set forth in State Statute Title 24 V.S.A. Chapter129, Uniform Water and
Sewer Disconnect.
10. The labor rate would be the same as approved in the Management Contract by
the Champlain Water District and the City of South Burlington, revised
annually.
11. The above referenced labor and material charges are in addition to any fee
required under the South Burlington Water Department Ordinance, such as
but not limited to private fire hydrants and sprinkler systems. At this time
private fire hydrants are assessed a $100 per hydrant annual fee.
12. All domestic services and fire sprinkler systems that are connected to the
public water system shall be protected according to their degree of hazard,
with a backflow prevention assembly, and an appropriate thermal expansion
system. Please contact this department for more information on backflow
protection devices.
13. The SBWD shall be sent any future hard copy plans involving this project for
review. Future plans must include details and specifications as required in the
above referenced Specifications.
14. The SBWD shall be notified prior to backfilling to inspect all joints, fittings,
main line taps, appurtenances and water line crossings.
15. Further review changes may be required as this project proceeds through the
permit process.
16. A hard copy set of As-Builts as well as one electronic copy in Auto-
CAD.DWG Version 14 Format or newer shall be supplied to this department
upon completion of the water system improvements.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me.

Re: Narinder Singh, `Ian Sicklen Road
Dear Juli:
I have reviewed the plans for the proposed construction of the planned residential
development on Van Sicklen Road. I have also made a site visit to try to envision the
siting of this project. I have the following recommendations:
I. Compliance with all requirements of Vermont Labor and Industry Fire Prevention
Division codes and standards.
2. Due to travel distance from South Burlington Fire Department Station 1 all multi-
unit buildings should be provided with automatic residential sprinklers.
3. Installation of the necessary fire alarms required for an occupancy such as this.
4. Fire Department Sprinkler Connection location to be specified by SBF'D.
5. Number and location of fire hydrants to be determined by the South Burlington
Water Department. Actual final spotting of said hydrants to be done jointly with,
SBFD.
At this point these seem to be the major issues which present themselves. As this
project moves forward additional items may surface which could be dealt with as needed
with the assistance of the owner and Labor and Industry. Should you need any further
assistance on this project please feel free to contact me.

RE: Van Sicklen Road Property, South Burlington, VT
Dear Skip:
On March 13, 2003, I met with Mike Gravelm, the backhoe operator, and yourself
on the property on the northern side of Van Sicklen Road in South Burlington. The South
Burlington Wetland Map shows a kidney shaped wetland and a pond on this property. I
reviewed the property to determine if the mapping was correct_ Despite the winter
conditions, with the help of the backhoe, I was able to examine the soils, the vegetation
and hydrologic conditions. I found that the area had been incorrectly mapped as a
wetland.
South Burlington's wetland map is based on photo interpretation of 1992 Color
Infrared Photography, limited field work, site specific wetland delineations on file with
the State Wetlands Office, and soils information. Field work was done to determine site
conditions in a variety of "signatures" on the photography. I therefore went back to
review the 1992 color infrared aerial photographs at the Natural Resources Consulting
Services at their Williston office. There is a slightly darker signature on the photos that is
kidney shaped, as mapped on the wetland map. Field work, however, revealed that this
Signature was not due to wetness. The man-made pond shown on the wetland map was
accurately mapped. This pond is clearly seen on the attached copy of the aerial
photograph.
For an area to be considered a wetland, it must meet the technical criteria for three
parameters: a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology.
An area that meets the criteria for each of the three parameters is considered a wetland
Hydrophytic vegetation is defined as macrophytic plant life growing in water, soil or on a
substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water
content. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a list that ranks each plant
species based on its frequency of occurrence in wetlands.
VJ/ 11 / uo 111ViN LU: LO rAA OUL4nZOOLa UaLl", V w-lell
µ!J VVL
On site, I found that the area that had been mapped is a gently sloping hillside,
sloping to the east. It encompasses a portion of the existing mowed grass yard to the
north and a steeper ledgy area with woody vegetation to the south east of the lawn. The
dominant vegetation in this area is staghorn sumac, honeysuckle, raspberry, burdock, and
mullen. The dominant vegetation is upland vegetation, not wetland vegetation. It does not
meet the criterion for wetland vegetation.
Hydric soils are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper pan. The publication
"Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, 1998, second edition, is
used to determine whether a soil is hydric. I directed the backhoe operator to dig a test pit
in the lowest portion of the mapped area. I found the soils to be silty loam with a brighter
chroma than hydric soils. The brighter colors and the lack of mottling in the upper part of
the soil profile are indicators of an upland soil. Soils with low chroma colors in the upper
part of the soil profile are hydric soils. The soils in the mapped area do not meet the
criteria for hydric soils.
An area has wetland hydrology when it is saturated to the surface orinundated for
typically a week or more during the growing season. Since it is difficult to examine
wetland hydrology during much of the year, indicators have been developed that allow
hydrology to be analyzed, even in the winter. The lack of these indicators show that the
hydrology criteria have not been met. The attached Army Corps of Engineers Data Sheet
summarizes the information presented above.
In conclusion, the wetland mapping on this site was in error. The area that was
mapped is not a wetland. Please call me at 878-6022 if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Cathy OBrien

FROM: Betsy McDonough, E 9-1-1 Coordinator
DATE: November 20, 2003
RE: New Street Names
1. Brian Waxler has requested the following name for his proposed private street
located off Shelburne Road:
Tumblebrook Drive
This name is acceptable as there are no similar street names in South Burlington

2. A & M Construction has requested the following name for their proposed
private street off Van Sicklen Road:
Maple Court
Please note that the City already has two (2) streets that begin with "Maple".
They are as follows:
Maple Street
Maplewood Drive
I would NOT recommend that this name be approved and ask that the developer
provide us with a new name that carries no similarities to street names within
the City OR the City of Burlington.

RE:

I have met with the Developers Engineer in regards to this project. I agree to the reduction in
road width to 26' based on the number of units that will be served by this project. All other city
standards are to be met. The R.O.W. is to be 50'.
The plans show the sewer line running behind the properties and remaining private. I do not
agree with this mix. If the street is to become public then the main sewer line will become part of
the city infrastructure. The sewer main will be located in the center of the road and built to city
standards. I do believe that the city and developer can reach agreement with the sewer line
adjustment.
All signage and stripping for this project is the responsibility of the developer and shall comply
with the MUTCD Millennium Edition. The developer shall provide fire hydrant flags.

RE: Van Sicklen Road Property
South Burlington
Dear Skip:
The South Burlington Water Department has reviewed the Final Plat plans for the above
referenced project. Please find my comments below and refer also to my previous letters.
1. All domestic services and fire sprinkler systems that are connected to the public
water system shall be protected with a backflow prevention assembly, and an
appropriate thermal expansion system in compliance with the Ordinance For The
Control Of Cross Connections Within The Water System Of the City Of South
Burlington. Please contact this department for more information on backflow
protection devices.
2. Eight -inch Ductile Iron (DI) water pipe shall have no less than three (3) brass
wedges installed at each joint. Bury depth to the new main shall be six feet (6') to
the top of the pipe.
3. All details shall be corrected to comply with those details found in the
Specifications and Details for the Installation of Water lines and Appurtenances
for all Water Systems Owned by the Champlain Water District the City of South
Burlington, Colchester Fire District #1, and the Village of Jericho. All water
installation work and water distribution material must comply with these
specifications.
4. All hydrants shall meet the previously mentioned specifications, and a hydrant
flag shall be supplied with each hydrant: Hydrant drains shall have all drains
plugged prior to installation.
5. Fire flow conditions must be able to meet the requirements stated in those
specifications, as well as meeting any conditions set forth by the Fire Department.
This area of Hinesburg Road is subject to conditions relative to a dead end line
downstream of large commercial customers. A minimum 35 psi rule under
normal conditions, and a minimum 20 psi rule under fire flow conditions that are
common in well looped systems may be limited in this project area. Sufficient
engineering and design must be incorporated in order to meet State Water Supply
Rule and the above Specification requirements.
6. Normal working pressure in the distribution system for this project shall be
designed to produce 60 psi and not less than 35 psi. Further, the SBWD
Specifications for Water Lines and Appurtenances requires all hydrants in a
residential development be able to supply no less than 500 gpm. at 20 psi at the
worst case hydrant residual pressure. The developer and his engineer is
responsible for ensuring any hydraulic design for this project considers these
requirements. The developer and engineer are responsible for all inadequacies in
water supply pressure for fire and domestic requirements, including those
associated with the aforementioned changes. It may be necessary, after your firm
reviews hydraulic modeling, to include a booster pump station for this
development.
7. The proposed 8" water main on Maple Court shall be located between the edge of
ROW and the paved portion of the road and drive, not under the paved portion as
indicated on the plans.
8. The proposed location of the 1" service to the existing home should be placed out
side of the driveway.
9. Curb stops shall be located just inside the ROW, between the property line and
road edge. They shall not be placed in the pavement or traveled ways. All
service lines shall be installed so as to run in a straight line from the water main to
curb stop. Service lines should run in a straight line from curb stop to building.
10. The SBWD shall be sent any future hard copy plans involving this project for
review. Future plans must include details and specifications as required in the
above referenced Specifications.
11. The SBWD shall be notified prior to backfilling to inspect all joints, fittings, main
line taps, appurtenances, water line crossings, and testing.
12. Further review changes may be required as this project proceeds through the
permit process.
13. A hard copy set of As-Builts as well as one electronic copy in Auto-CAD.DWG
Version 14 Format or newer shall be supplied to this department upon completion
of the water system improvements.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance, please call me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD
FROM: RAYMOND,J. BELAIR, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERV.�
DATE: ,JULY 11, 2003
RE: A Er M CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION, INC.
A Er M CONSTRUCTION - TWO (2) DUPLEX PUD - PRELIMINARY PLAT
This property consists of a planned unit development consisting of. 1)
subdividing a 4.6 acre lot into two (2) lots of 1.3 acres (lot #1) and 3.3
acres (lot #2), and 2) constructing two (2) 2-family dwellings on lot
#2, 100 Van Sicklen Road. The sketch plan was reviewed on VW03
(minutes enclosed).
This property located at 100 Van Sicklen Road lies within the SEQ
Zoning District. It is bounded on the north, east and west by
residences, and on the south by Van Sicklen Road.
Access: The driveway serving the house on lot #1 will be eliminated. A
new 18 foot wide private road will be constructed to serve both
parcels. This private road complies with Section 15.12 ( C ) (3) (a) of
the Land Development Regulations. The private road does not comply
with Section 15.12 (D) (3) of the Land Development Regulations,
which requires a minimum 20-foot wide road without parking.
Subsection (4) of this section allows the Board to modify this request
"if it specifically finds that such modification is in furtherance of
Comprehensive Plan policies and the goals for the specific zoning
district in which a project is located, and that such modification is
consistent with provisions for the public health, safety and welfare and
the orderly development of the City. In making such a finding, the
Development Review Board shall consider the recommendation of the
City Engineer, Director of Public Works and Fire Chief with respect to
the City's ability to provide public services to the proposed subdivision
or PUD."
Page #2
Lot size: Both lots will meet the minimum lot size of 12,000 square
feet.
Density: This lot generates five (5) units (1.2 units acre x 4.6 acres =
5.52) and five (5) units are proposed. Applicant should provide
acreage of developable area on lot #2 as shown on the SEQ Zoning
District maps.
Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage for lot #1 is 5.2% and for lot #2
is 4.3% (maximum allowed is 15%). Overall coverage for lot #1 is 9%
and for lot #2 is 12.8% (maximum allowed is 30%).
Setback requirements are being met for the existing house and the
proposed duplexes.
Restricted Area: No buildings are proposed within SEQ restricted
areas. An existing residential drive is proposed to be removed and
replaced with a shared drive to serve all 5 units. The shared drive will
pass through the SEQ restricted area, and the new driveway for the
existing house falls almost entirely within the restricted area.
Pursuant to Section 9.06 (B) of the Land Development Regulations, the
construction of roads to serve approved development is allowed within
SEQ restricted areas. In addition, utilities must be placed underground
and public recreation paths are allowed. The plans show underground
water and wastewater lines crossing the SEQ restricted area. Electrical
and telephone lines are not shown on the plans. A recreation path
easement is also shown within the restricted area.
Section 9.06 (A) of the Land Development Regulations states that land
in a restricted area shall not included in any lot created for residential
development. Lot #2 is such a lot. This section goes on further to
state that "as a condition of approving a subdivision of land that
results in the creation of a lot located entirely or partially in a
restricted area, the Development Review Board may require the
recording of a notice of appropriate restrictions regarding such
Page #3
remaining lot in the land records." Staff does not see the need of
recording a notice of conditions.
Wetland buffer: The plans show a 50-foot wetland buffer around the
man-made pond. No encroachment is proposed within the buffer. The
wetland area on the City's wetland map is shown on the plan where the
two (2) duplexes are proposed. A report from Cathy O'Brien (see
enclosed) indicates that this area is not a wetland and the wetland map
is in error. The designation of the buffer should read "wetland buffer"
and not "Conservation Zone."
Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for the two (2)
duplexes is $12,000. The applicant has not submitted a landscape
budget as required under Section 13.06 (G) (3) of the Land
Development Regulations so staff is unable to determine whether the
proposed landscaping meets the minimum requirement. The plans do
not indicate who prepared the landscaping plan. The final plat
submittal should include a landscape budget prepared by a landscape
architect or professional landscape designer. The final plat submittal
should also include the name of the landscape professional who
prepared the landscaping plan.
Pam: A total of nine (9) spaces are required for the two (2)
duplexes and 16 spaces are provided (eight (8) covered spaces and
eight (8) surface spaces). A bike rack is provided as required.
Lighting: The final plat submittal should include exterior lighting
details.
Street Name/Numbering: The final plat submittal should include a
proposed street name and addresses for the single-family dwelling and
two (2) duplexes based on the E911 addressing system.
Pedestrian Access: The Recreation Path Committee (RPC) reviewed the
sketch plan for the proposed development in November 2002. The
RPC recommended that a 20 ft. recreation path easement be provided
Page #4
along Van Sicklen Road and also along the easterly side of the
property. Accordingly, the preliminary plans show a 20 ft. recreation
path easement to be dedicated to the City of South Burlington. The
applicant must submit a draft easement deed for this recreation path
easement, which shall be reviewed and accepted by City Attorney Tim
Eustace.
Other: Sheet 2 of the plans indicates "Limit of Open Space Zone"
delineations. These correspond to the boundaries between SEQ
restricted areas and SEQ development areas. The plans should be
revised to label these areas accordingly.
PRD Review Standards
Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the Land Development Regulations, PRDs
shall comply with the following standards and conditions:
a) Will not result in undue water or air pollution. In making this
determination the DRB shall at least consider (1) the availability
and capacity of municipal sewer facilities or the nature of soils
and subsoils and their ability to support waste disposal
adequately, (2) the elevation of land above sea level and in
relation to floodplains, (3) protection of ground and surface
water through appropriate vegetative buffers and retention
structures, and (4) all applicable State of Vermont regulations.
The plans need to be revised to show detailed stormwater drainage
plans.
b) Will have sufficient water available for the foreseeable needs of
the development.
Staff recommends that the comments of Water Superintendent Jay
Nadeau dated May 19, 2003 be incorporated as conditions of approval.
Page #5
c) Will not cause unreasonable soil erosion or reduction in the
capacity of the land to hold water so that a dangerous or
unhealthy condition may result.
In addition to the stormwater drainage details, the plans must include
acceptable details of erosion control measures to be used during and
after construction. The erosion control plans must meet the standards
set forth in Section 16.03 of the Land Development Regulations.
Grading and erosion control plans are detailed on Sheet 6 of the plans.
d) Will not cause unreasonable highway congestion or unsafe
conditions with respect to the use of highways, existing or
proposed.
The existing curb cut will be replaced by a new, shared curb cut. The
plans do not provide a measure of sight distance for the new curb cut.
Sight distance information should be provided with the final plat
submittal.
e) Will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of the City
to provide educational services or facilities.
The addition of 4 units of housing will result in relatively minimal
impact on the South Burlington School District.
f) Will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of the City
to provide municipal or governmental services and facilities.
The applicant will need to abide by the requirements of the Water
Superintendent, Fire Chief, and City Engineer.
g) Will protect important natural resources, including streams,
wetlands, scenic views, wildlife habitats, and special natural
features.
No adverse affect is expected relative to these natural resources.
Page #6
h) Will not have an undue adverse affect on the scenic or natural
beauty of the area, is aesthetically compatible with surrounding
developed properties and will protect rare and irreplaceable
natural areas and historic sites.
Staff believes the project is aesthetically compatible with surrounding
developed properties. No historic or rare or irreplaceable natural
areas are known to occur on the subject property.
i) Will provide convenient allocation and distribution of common
space in relation to proposed development and will conform to
the City's recreation plan.
The proposed development does not conflict with the South Burlington
recreation plan. As noted already, the plans show a 20-foot recreation
path easement pursuant to the request of the RPC.
j) Will provide efficient layout and high -quality installation,
construction, and maintenance of public facilities and conform
to the City's street and utility plan.
These standards are evaluated above under subdivision development
requirements and design standards.
k) Will provide for cooperation with adjoining properties in the
extension of roadways, drainage facilities, and utility lines.
Direct utility and vehicular access is provided off of Van Sicklen Road
for the proposed development. Cooperation with adjoining landowners
is necessary for the sewer main, and Water Superintendent Jay Nadeau
has requested that the applicant coordinate the installation of a water
line with the Summersweet Subdivision to the east of the subject
property.
1) Will conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Page #7
The Comprehensive Plan establishes a goal for the SEQ District of
promoting development that protects and preserves contiguous areas
to open space and important natural resources. The proposed PRD
offers an appropriate density to accomplish these goals.
The Comprehensive Plan also establishes the goal of providing an
extensive off -road path system to residents. Accordingly, the proposed
PRD includes a 20-foot wide recreation path easement.

CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MARCH 6, 2003
The South Burlington Natural Resources Committee met on Thursday, March 6, 2003 at 7:00
PM in the Upstairs Conference Room.
Members Present: Eileen Brady -Whitney, Peter Jones, Lori Lustberg, Lani Ravin, Bill Schuele,
and Chris Shaw.
Others Present. Associate Planner Janet Hurley, David Fuqua, Jeffrey & Elizabeth Goldberg,
David Burke, Terry Krinsky, Sarah Dcpp, Errol Briggs, Ralph Veve
Chair Lani Davin called the meeting to order with a quorum of committee members
present at approximately 7:10 PM.
Development Review:
The committee reviewed subdivision plans and draft recommendations for the 5-lot, 4-
unit Goldberg subdivision on Dorset Street and Autumn Hill Road. Committee members
questioned the location of Black Dog Drive. David Fuqua explained that the location will
minimize design and construction changes that will be necessary if and when Black Dog
Drive is abandoned in favor of Autumn Hill Road. No paving is proposed.
The Goldbergs expressed concern about proposed maintenance restrictions. They
would like the ability to till and apply fertilizers for organic gardening/agriculture on Lot 5.
The committee assured the Goldbergs that it does not wish to prohibit organic gardening
or agriculture.
The committee asked questions about the extent current of haying activity. The
Goldbergs explained that whatever ground is dry is cut up to twice per year by a farmer.
The Goldbergs questioned why the committee would want to limit cutting to once per
year. Peter Jones explained that reproductive success of certain ground nesting bird
species could be jeopardized by more frequent cutting.
Motion was made and passed to recommend approval subject to 4 conditions. See
attached "Goldberg 5-Lot, 4-Unit Subdivision, Recommendations for Approval."
2. Bill Wessel requested time to prepare a wetlands delineation and analysis for the
committee. Consequently, the Wessel application will move to the April 3, 2003 agenda.
3. David Burke gave an overview of the White hock proposal. Originally the subdivision
was approved for 36 residential lots. It was reapproved for 30 lots because the current
owner/developer felt the lots were too small. Fill was approved on Lots 13, 14, and 15
within the Conservation and Open Space (CO) District. Administrative Officer Ray Belair
indicated that such approval does not mean that back yard lawns can be maintained on
these lots within the CO District. The applicant is proposing a compromise in which a
dense dogwood hedgerow 100 ft. from the road right-of-way will be planted to mark the
rear of the lots. This would extend up to 25 ft. into the CO District_ Succession would be
allowed to occur beyond the hedgerow.
Janet Hurley gave an update on Development Review Board (DRB) thinking on the
proposal. The DRB would like to deny the proposed encroachments into the CO District,
CITY OF SOUTH BUR I6NGTON
(NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
(March 6, 2003

but continued the hearing on the application until April 15, 2003, because no one was
present to represent the applicant at the hearing on March 4, 2003. The applicant had
requested a continuance in order to get feedback from the NRC. Ms_ Hurley also
reported that the City Attorney had counseled Mr. Belair that the DRB does not have the
authority to allow the proposed encroachment pursuant to Section 3.503 of the Zoning
Regulations because the Winooski River does not fit the definition of drainageway. Mr.
Burke challenged the interpretation of the Winooski River channel edge, noting that the
closest edge to the subject property was only a secondary channel. Committee
members countered that the intent is to protect the water within the river. Anything
entering the secondary channel will thereby enter the main channel.
Landscape Architect Terry Krinsky described the history of land use at the site and
described his vision for a naturalized field and successional growth between the
proposed back yards and the Winooski River. Mr. Krinsky maintains that the proposal
adds at least 50 ft. of woody vegetated buffer and a buffer line that homeowners will
respect. He notes that a cedar hedge was not proposed because in 30 years it would not
blend in with the naturalized growth. He suggested that a cedar rail fence would offer an
appropriate buffer edge as an alternative to the dogwood hedgerow.
Lani Ravin concluded that the committee wants to support the DRB position. However, if
the DRB chooses to allow the encroachment, the committee would like to recommend
the conditions that were detailed in the committee's draft motion.
4. A & M Construction had requested NRC review of its proposed development on Van
Sicklen Road be delayed in order to prepare a wetlands delineation and analysis for the
committee and the DRB. Accordingly, a motion to recommend continuance of the A & M
Construction application passed. See attached "2-Lot, 5-Unit Subdivision, Preliminary
Plan Application #SD-03-10, Recommendations for Approval."
5. The committee discussed the JAM Golf application for encroachment into the CO District
by two as -built berms. Lori Lustberg stated that she would prefer not to make a decision
until the committee has all appropriate information from the applicant. The committee
agreed and the motion to recommend continuance of the JAM Golf application passed.
See attached "Vermont National Country Club, Revised Final Plan Application #SD-03-
02, Recommendations for Approval."
6. Ralph Veve described the land use history of the site. It was farmed until the interstate
was constructed. The interstate caused semi -impoundment in the area that was
exacerbated by the Glendale development. The wetland is of a recent nature_ It serves
as a backdrop for Dorset Commons Apartments, and has attracted discarded tires and
shopping carts that Mr. Veve routinely removes. David Burke then offered a description
of the surrounding neighborhood, including Dorset Commons and the more recent Town
Place Suites.
The application involves dissolving one lot that lies entirely within the interstate setback
and adding the balance to the proposed building lot and to Dorset Commons. According
to Mr. Veve, the "interstate lot" predates the Zoning Regulations. Development on the
buildable portions of the new lot is proposed. Allowable density for the lot would be six
units. Only 4 units are proposed. In total, 0.08 acres of encroachment into the CO
\nrc\min\030603. min. doc
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
March 6, 2003
.Page 3 of 3
District is proposed. According to Mr. Burke, Town Place Suites encroached into the CO
District directly to the east of the proposed development.
Mr. Burke explained that there is a 3 ft. difference in elevation from northerly to southerly
on the proposed building lot. The buildings will be guttered to discharge on the front.
Drainage will proceed westerly and then southerly in a swale along the Oakwood Drive
extension. The applicant is receptive to the idea of rain gardens at building foundations
to enhance on -site infiltration.
Ms. Hurley asked whether the applicant wanted all parking proposed. The applicant said
the proposed parking complies with the requirements. Ms. Hurley suggested that the
applicant could ask for a waiver. Mr. Veve asked his designer to avoid the CO District as
much as possible. Mr. Burke explained that the proposed configuration is about as good
as it gets for 4 units. Sarah Dopp asked about the height of the structures. Mr. Burke
explained that they are 2-story structures. Higher would require elevators, which is not
feasible for 4-units. The buildings meet the 25 ft. buffer requirements of the old
regulations, but a proposed hedge would extend further into the buffer.
Lani Ravin posited the following issues: (1) the city has a 50 ft. buffer for a reason and
she is hesitant to snake it 10 ft_; (2) this property falls in the vicinity of the City Center and
if the city wants compact development, this is where it should go. Peter Jones asked
what level of rental units these would be. Mr. Veve described them as 3-bedroom units,
which would not be high -end. Mr. Jones noted that these units would be addressing
housing needs.
Errol Briggs explained that the wetland does not senfe significant functions and values.
Furthermore, in Mr. Briggs' view, the impact of the proposed development will not
significantly alter what values the wetland does serve. The wetland cannot store water;
the project will not make the stream course vulnerable to erosion (Mr. Veve noted there
is a small trickle all year except when frozen); water quality will not be affected, as
drainage from surrounding development follows storm sewers; and the use/enjoyment of
adjacent property would not be affected. The wetland is an island in a sea of
development.
Lani Ravin asked whether frogs inhabited the wetland. Mr. Briggs said if there are frogs,
they are most likely transients moving along the interstate corridor. The site contains a
dry pine stand, which is not attractive to amphibians. The woods is such a fragment that
it would not maintain wood frogs. There is no hydrophytic vegetation on site. There is no
threatened or endangered species habitat. From the interstate, one cannot see that it is
wetland. The insignificant size makes it unattractive for educational purposes. Again, Mr.
Briggs concluded that the functions that are served would not be unduly impacted by the
proposed buffer encroachment.
Peter Jones asked where the hedge tpsould be located. Mr. Burke noted that it would be
planted along the proposed buffer impact line as shown on the plans. Lori Lustberg
agreed that because of the location and type of housing proposed, that this is the type of
encroachment that should be forgiven. Chris Shaw stated that the surrounding
development makes the idea of a 25 ft. buffer for this project ridiculous. He thinks even
the hedgerow is unnecessary. He said the wetland has no significant functions and it
1n rclm i n \03 0603. min. d oc

would be churlish to throw in conditions requiring a buffer with a hedgerow. Eileen
Brady -Whitney agreed.
Lani Ravin asked the committee to consider cumulative effects. Bill Schuele said he was
in agreement with Mr. Shaw, but would add a hedgerow. Peter Jones agreed that he
would like to see a hedgerow marking the encroachment limit. Mr. Shaw pointed out that
the hedgerow would interfere with rain gardens. Mr. Burke noted that the applicant
knows that he is asking for encroachment and is okay with the idea of requiring a
hedgerow and rain gardens.
Lani Ravin said she would move to accept the draft motion as written. There was a
discussion about whether native species would be a necessary requirement. The
consensus view was that the hedgerow species did not need to be native, but should not
occur on the Vermont invasive species list. The motion passed as amended. See
attached 1-Lot, 4-Unit Planned Unit Development, Sketch Plan Application #SD-02-84,
Recommendations for Approval."
NRC Charter Changes: Janet Hurley will prepare a draft charter and send it out to the
committee for review prior to the next meeting.
2003 Work Plan: The committee discussed items that members would like to see on the NRC
work plan for the year. Other than working on a charter change, the committee offered the
following areas for focus.
Enabling Legislation for Local Pesticide and Herbicide Ordinances: Lani Ravin
expressed a desire to continue to put efforts toward the passage of enabling legislation
for local pesticide ordinances. She noted that the big gun lobbyists are coming out to
oppose the bill. There is no golf course exemption. The key is that it is enabling
legislation that would allow local partnerships as opposed to regulation by the state.
Insect Pest Management (IPM) options could be pursued instead of constant required
public notification of pesticide applications. Ms. Ravin noted that this is really behind the
scenes work, rather than work requiring meeting time.
UVGtl1 Conservation Eiology Class: Peter Jones noted that he is still enthusiastic about
developing a relationship with the University of Vermont Conservation Biology class. A
continued relationship could be beneficial to the city.
Open Space: Lani Ravin noted that the committee would like to work on open space
priorities. The committee should make recommendations to the City Council on how the
Conservation Fund should be used. Work with the South Burlington Land Trust can
move toward accomplishing this. Sarah Dopp noted that the land trust has a small
subcommittee that makes recommendations to the City Council as to properties that
would be appropriate for the conservation fund. Chris Shaw agreed that the committee
should work to prioritize the properties that are listed in the South Burlington Open
Space Strategy. Ms. Ravin noted that the Open Space Strategy does not address the
availability of these properties, and affirmed that the committee should address this.
Chris Shaw said stewardship should also be a work goal for the committee. He would
like to see conservation of the citys historic resources and stewardship of resource lands

held by the city. There was a discussion about the Caulkins Farm. The committee
agreed that it is good that it is used by the National Gardening Association (NGA)
because the use fills a vacuum_ The NGA has plans to develop a small conference
center there.
Education: Peter Jones noted that Lori Lustberg, who had to leave the meeting just
prior to the Veve motion, is interested in educational initiatives. Lani Ravin noted that
training in the Keeping Track Program would raise committee credibility and add to
committee discussions. Keeping Track training could be offered to other city residents.
Green Up Day: Peter Jones is preparing an article on Green Up Day for The Other Paper. He
noted that Robert Babcock, who initiated Green Up day, has moved to South Burlington. Janet
Hurley is this year's contact person. Chris Shaw will be contacting the Scoutmasters for the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts about Green Up Day 2003.
Vernal Pools: Lani Ravin shared information about a book entitled Preserving Vemal Pools in
Suburbia published by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The committee decided this would be
a good book to have. It is only $10.00.
Minutes of February 4, 2003: MOTION by Lani Ravin, seconded by Bill Schuele to accept the
minutes of February 4, 2003. The MOTION CARRIED with a vote of 4-0.
Next Meeting: Thursday, April 3, 2003, 7:00 PM. Janet Hurley announced that she may not be
available to attend for the next meeting, but would send packets out in advance.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:00 PM.

Dear Ray,
We are in receipt of your staff comments for the above referenced project. We would like to respond
to your document with this letter. We will plan to distribute copies to the DRB at our Preliminary
Plat hearing, March 18.
Restricted Areas within the SEQ District
We request the driveway to Lot # 1 to be constructed within the restricted area along Van
Sicklen Road as shown on the Site Plan.
1. Calculations are provided on sheet 1, Overall Site Plan, under the heading "Density".
2. Plans will be revised to indicate the restriction lines as Zone Limits, not setbacks.
Conservation and Open Space District
3. Wetlands indicated on the official wetlands map have been determined to be in error.
Please find attached a letter from Cathy O'Brien summarizing her investigation of the site.
You indicated in our telephone conversation of March 17 that no additional wetland
investigations will be required for this project.
4. Although we are unsure if it is required, a 50' conservation zone has been delineated
around the existing pond. This project will not impact that, or any other, conservation zone.
(a) The project will not fill a wetland. See letter by Cathy O'Brien.
(c) 5. We request a clarification of this requirement; The area to the west of the existing
pond is currently mowed lawn for swimming access to the pond. We would like to continue
to mow (cut) the existing grass to maintain this access. Proposed tree lines and vegetation
impacts have been indicated on the Site Plan as an irregular line. Perhaps they can be more
clearly labeled.
(d) This delay requested by the NRC will not be required. See letter by Cathy O'Brien.
Section 26Z 2(b) of Zoning&gulations
6. We agree with your recommendation to withdraw this application. We will reapply under

RE: Van Sicklen Road Property, South Burlington; VT
Dear Skip.
On March 13, 2003,1 met with Mike Gravelin, the backhoe operator, and yourself
on the property on the northern side of Van Sicklen Road in South Burlington. The South
Burlington Wetland Map shows a kidney shaped wetland and a pond on this property. I
reviewed the property to determine if the mapping was correct_ Despite the winter
conditions, with the help of the backhoe, I was able to examine the soils, the vegetation
and hydrologic conditions. I found that the area had been incorrectly mapped as a
wetland.
South Burlington's wetland map is based on photo interpretation of 1992 Color
Infrared Photography, limited field work, site specific wetland delineations on file with
the State Wetlands Office, and soils information. Field work was done to determine site
conditions in a variety of "signatures" on the photography. I therefore went back to
review the 1992 color infrared aerial photographs at the Natural Resources Consulting
Services at their Williston office. There is a slightly darker signature on the photos that is
kidney shaped, as mapped on the wetland map. Field work, however, revealed that this
signature was not due to wetness. The man-made pond shown on the wetland map was
accurately mapped. This pond is clearly seen on the attached copy of the aerial
photograph.
For an area to be considered a wetland, it must meet the technical criteria for three
parameters: a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology.
An area that meets the criteria for each of the three parameters is considered a wetland.
Hydrophytic vegetation is defined as macrophytic plant life growing in water, soil or on a
substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water
content. The U.S. Fish. and Wildlife Service has developed a list that ranks each plant
species based on its frequency of occurrence in wetlands.
UJ/ it / UJ IVIUA LU: 40 rAA OU4404004- %iULllq U Ui'1C11
On site, I found that the area that had been mapped is a gently sloping hillside,
sloping to the east. It encompasses a portion of the existing mowed grass yard to the
north and a steeper ledgy area with woody vegetation to the south east of the lawn. The
dominant vegetation in this area is staghorn sumac, honeysuckle, raspberry, burdock, and
mullen. The dominant vegetation is upland vegetation, not wetland vegetation. It does not
meet the criterion for wetland vegetation.
Hydric soils are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. The publication
"Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, 1998, second edition, is
used to determine whether a soil is hydric. I directed the backhoe operator to dig a test pit
in the lowest portion of the mapped area. I found the soils to be silty loam with a brighter
chroma than hydric soils. The brighter colors and the lack of mottling in the upper part of
the soil profile are indicators of an upland soil. Soils with Iow chroma colors in the upper
part of the soil profile are hydric soils. The soils in the mapped area do not meet the
criteria for hydric soils.
An area has wetland hydrology when it is saturated to the surface orinundated for
typically a week or more during the growing season. Since it is difficult to examine
wetland hydrology during much of the year, indicators have been developed that allow
hydrology to be analyzed, even in the winter. The lack of these indicators show that the
hydrology criteria have not been met. The attached Army Corps of Engineers Data Sheet
summarizes the information presented above.
In conclusion, the wetland mapping on this site was in error. The area that was
mapped is not a wetland. Please call me at 878-6022 if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Cathy OBrien

2-lot, 5-unit Subdivision
Preliminary Plan Application #SD-03-10
NRC Meeting Date. March 6, 2003
A & M Construction, LLC, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is requesting preliminary plan
approval from the Development Review Board (DRB) for a 2-lot, 5-unit subdivision on 4.57
acres on Van Sicklen Road. Portions of the subject property fall within the Conservation and
Open Space (CO) District, as shown on the following map:
2-lot, 5-unit Subdivision
Preliminary Plan SD-03-10
NRC March 6, 2003
Page 2 of 2
The CO District includes all wetlands and buffer areas 50 ft. in width surrounding all
wetlands. The plans show an existing pond on the property and a 50 ft. buffer surrounding
the pond (see attached plan). However, a mapped wetland (as depicted on the City of South
Burlington Wetlands Delineation Project map and shown on the map above) and
corresponding buffer to the west of the pond is not shown on the plans. Furthermore, the
development of structures is proposed to occur in the location of this mapped wetland.
Although, the local accuracy of this data must be verified in the field, it is the applicant's
responsibility to provide such verification from a qualified wetlands consultant.
If encroachment into the CO District is proposed, the applicant must provide evidence that
the encroachment will not adversely affect wetland functions as described in Section 3.503 of
the Zoning Regulations. Accordingly, the proposed encroachment should not alter the water
storage capacity, water quality, wetland functions and values, or wildlife and fisheries habitat
provided by the wetland.
A preliminary plan hearing is scheduled before the DRB on March 18, 2003.
Staff recommends that the Natural Resources Committee (NRC) request the DRB to
continue the Preliminary Plan hearing until the applicant provides information from a
qualified wetlands consultant that addresses the issues raised above and the NRC has
an opportunity to review such information.

2002
]DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD MEMO
November 5, 2002 MEETING
Parking: The minimum parking requirement is five (5) spaces, one space per guest
bedroom and two for the owners (2 + 3=5 spaces). The applicant is proposing seven
parking spaces. A single accessible parking space is required and should be so noted on
the plan, and on the site with appropriate signage. The width of an accessible space is 13
feet total. The plan should reflect the correct width for the accessible space. The site has
more than adequate parking and staff recommends two of the proposed spaces be
converted to a single accessible space.
Bicycle parking or storage facility is required, and should be noted on the plan.
Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement based on minimum
construction costs.
Lighting: Any floodlights or non-downcasting and non -shielded firxtures should be
removed or replaced with downcasting and shielded light fixtures approved by the
Director of Planning and Zoning prior to installation.
Dumpsters: No proposed dumpsters.
10) SKETCH PLAN, TWO LOT SUBDIVISION, 1750 VAN SICKLEN ROAD
This project consists of a planned unit development, which includes: 1) a two (2) lot
subdivision, lot # 1 is 1.25 acres and lot #2 is 3.34 acres, 2) construction of four (4),
three (3) bedroom housing units in two (2) buildings on lot #2, and 3) a single-family
residence to remain on lot #1.
This property located at 1750 Van Sicklen Road lies within the Southeast Quadrant
zoning district. It is bounded on the north, east, and west by single family residential lots,
and on the south by Van Sicklen Road.
Access/circulation: Access is provided via a paved 18 foot private roadway. The
proposed roadway serves a multi -family residential lot, and serves four (4) units. The
preliminary plat plan should be revised to show any access drives located across Van
Sicklen Road. The preliminary plat plan should also show a turnaround at the end of the
private roadway.
Coverage/setbacks: Lot #1 proposed building coverage is 5.2% (maximum allowed is
20%). Overall building coverage is 9% (maximum allowed is 40%). Lot #2 proposed
building coverage is 4.3%, and the overall coverage is 12.8%. All setbacks are met.
Density: The allowable density for this project is 5 units as proposed. One of the units is
the existing single family dwelling (4.57 acres x 1.2 units/acre = 5.4 units).
The proposed density complies with Section 6.403 of the zoning regulations. The
developable area for lot #1 is .34 acres which results a maximum of 1.36 units on lot #1
(.34 acres x 4 units/ acre = 1.36 units). The developable area for lot #2 is 1.69 acres,
which results in a maximum of 6 units (1.69 acres x 4 units/acre = 6.76 units).

Re: Van Sicklen Road Property
South Burlington, VT
Dear Skip:
The South Burlington Water Department has reviewed the plans for the above
referenced project. Please find my comments below.
I. At this time the City of South Burlington does not have sufficient water
storage for any new development of this size. Please complete the attached
Application for Water Allocation and return it to the South Burlington Water
Department as soon as possible. As the project continues, a final Application
for water allocation will need to be requested for approval for water
allocation. No construction shall be permitted that may restrict or encumber
water supply and storage for the Citys current customers.
2. All construction drawings and plans shall have a note stating "All work to be
performed in accordance with the Specifications and Details for the
Installation of Water Lines and Appurtenances for All Water Systems Owned
by the CWD, the City of South Burlington, Colchester Fire District #1, and
the Village of Jericho"
3. Fire flow conditions must be able to meet the requirements stated in those
specifications, as well as meeting any conditions set forth by the Fire
Department. This area of Hinesburg Road is subject to conditions relative to a
dead end line downstream of large commercial customers. A minimum 35 psi
rule under normal conditions, and a minimum 20 psi rule under fire flow
conditions that are common in well looped systems may be limiting in this
project area. Sufficient engineering and design must be incorporated in order
to meet State Water Supply Rule and the above Specifications requirements.
This project may require the installation of a water booster pump station to
meet domestic and fire flow conditions. The ownership of such a pump
station would be private.
4. Please send this office plans for the water system design as it continues
through the permit process.
1
5. Further changes may be required as this project proceeds through the permit
process. This department shall be notified of any changes to this project with
revised, updated hard copy plans sent directly to us for further review.
6. A hard copy set of As-Builts as well as one electronic copy in Auto-
CAD.DWG Version 14 Format or newer shall be supplied to this department
upon completion
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me.
