TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
SUBJECT: #SD-23-05 760 Shelburne Road
DATE: July 18, 2023 Development Review Board meeting
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Preliminary and final plat application #SD-23-05 of Gary Bourne to create a General Planned Unit
Development by re-subdividing three existing lots into three new lots of 0.18 acres (Lot 1), 0.14 acres
(Lot 2), and 1.06 acres (Lot 3), and constructing a 3,350 sf financial institution on Lot 1, a 6,480 sf 2-story
mixed commercial and residential building on Lot 2, and a 3-story 27-unit multifamily building on Lot 3,
760 Shelburne Road.
COMMENTS
The Board reviewed this application on March 7, April 4, and June 6, 2023. The Board continued the
hearing for the purpose of allowing the applicant to address Board feedback, particularly on the
architecture of the proposed financial institution on Lot 1. The applicant provided supplemental
materials to resolve some issues discussed on June 6. Staff has included in this memo a review of
subject areas for which the applicant has submitted revised materials, as well as areas where Staff
expected revised materials but none were submitted.
As noted in previous staff reports, the applicant has requested modification or waiver for each
dimensional standard as well as a number of other modifications. The Board must only grant a
modification for cause, and the modification must result in better compliance with the objectives of the
LDR, both those specific to the standard requested to be modified and to the overall LDR objectives.
A) ZONING DISTRICT AND DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The project is located in the Commercial 1 zoning district, which is intended to be a “higher-intensity
residential, retail, office, and vertically mixed uses in a manner that serves as or enhances a compact
central business area.” It is also located within an urban design overlay node, whose purpose statement
includes that it “will serve as important connections, gateways, or areas of activity. As such, a more
urban form is desired and, where noted, required and permitted.“ At the June 6 meeting, the applicant
presented updates to a few dimensional standards, which are now included in the updated table below.

Updated information from the last time this table was presented include lot coverage and front setback
coverage. The applicant is proposing to increase lot coverage above the maximum allowable in the zoning
district through the use of additional on-site open/civic space in 10.05E.
10.05 Urban Design Overlay District (UDO)
(2) Glazing. Windows are key to the overall design of a building and the relationship between its
exterior and interior.
(a) For all properties in the Urban Overlay District, a minimum of 75% of glazing shall be
transparent.
On June 6, the applicant presented a design for the building on Lot 1 in which 60% of the glazing
facing Shelburne Road was transparent. The Board’s feedback was that the spandrel glass
detracted from the appearance of the building. The applicant appears to have removed the
spandrel (opaque) glass from the façade, though they have not submitted revised floor plans
and the current elevations are not consistent with the previously-submitted floor plans. Staff
recommends, if the Board approves the project, the Board require the applicant to submit
revised floor plans consistent with the elevations dated 6/29/2023.

1. On June 6, the Board directed the applicant to modify the building on Lot 1 to have the appearance
of two stories. The applicant has made modifications. Staff recommends the Board review the
revised elevations and the site as a whole and provide feedback on whether they consider the
dimensional requirements of the Urban Design Overlay to have been met.
Phasing
The project is proposed to be constructed in three phases. The first phase includes the buildings along
Shelburne Road and the base course of the site drive including the connection to Swift Street. The
multifamily building is the second phase. The third and final proposed phase includes the finish coat of
pavement on the driveway.
In a phased project in general, the applicant must obtain a certificate of occupancy for each phase prior
to use of that phase. Since there is nothing to “occupy” with the applicant’s proposed phase three, Staff
considers there would be no incentive for the applicant to complete it. Staff recommends the Board
either require the applicant to reduce the project to two phases, thus requiring completion of the final
coat of pavement before occupancy of the second building, or require provision of a bond of the cost of
phase 3 prior to issuance of a zoning permit for phase 2. Staff considers the option where phases 2 and
3 are combined to be preferred since the City does not have established protocols for constructing on
private property when an applicant fails to complete their obligations.
On June 6, the Board asked the applicant to demonstrate that site amenity, bike parking, and
landscaping requirements are met on a phase by phase basis.
Site Amenity
The required site amenity is calculated as follows.
Required Provided
Phase 1 6,590 sf non-residential x 6% = 396 sf
3 units x 100 sf / unit = 300 sf
890 sf snippet
Phase 2 27 units x 60 sf / unit = 1,620 sf
3,110 additional sf lot coverage in
Urban Design Overlay = 933 sf
1,840 sf snippet
1,900 sf snippet
Total 3,249 sf 4,630 sf

Landscaping
The required landscaping is calculated as follows.
Required Provided
Phase 1 $51,500 $60,099
Phase 1 + 2 $123, 500 $184,720
Provided landscaping includes hardscape elements of benches and sculptures.
Bicycle Parking
The required bicycle parking is calculated as follows.
Required Long-
Term Parking
Provided Long-Term
Parking
Required Short-Term
Parking
Provided Short-Term
Parking
Phase 1 4 42 8 43
Phase 2 27 27 4 8
Total 31 31 12 12
2. Two of the long-term bicycle parking spaces in Phase 1 are located within an interior room within
the proposed bank building. Users of the racks would have to pass through what appears to be
the employee break room with their bicycles in order to use the racks. While the LDRs provide
limited detail on the location of long-term bicycle parking, Staff considers the location to be less
than ideal and considers a more accessible location would be one way the applicant could improve
the project in light of the modifications they are requesting as a PUD.
3. Bicycle racks serving lots 1 and 2 are located just beyond the Lots 1 and 2 property lines on Lot 3.
Since the project is proposed as a PUD, Staff recommends that the Board allow off-site bicycle
racks to count towards the required minimum. However, the bike racks serving Lots 1 and 2 do
not provide the minimum for those lots (8 spaces required, 4 provided). Staff recommends the
Board require the Phase 1 bicycle parking areas to be expanded to permit parking of four bicycles
each (two racks each) so that bicycle parking requirements are met on a phase by phase basis.
Staff considers this can be addressed as a condition of approval.
Residential Density and 18.01 Inclusionary Zoning
The Board has provided feedback to the applicant that in order to construct 30 units total (10 over the
base zoning density unit-maximum), the applicant must provide for 10 of their base zoning density unit-
maximum to be inclusionary. Based on the most current versions of application materials, the applicant
is only proposing five (5) inclusionary units, though they have stated they consider the LDR to require
seven (7) inclusionary units.
As noted at previous meetings, the applicant may also use Transferable Development Rights for one or
more units. The applicant also has the option to make some of the inclusionary units 3 or 4 bedroom units,
which count towards more than 1 of the required inclusionary in order to attain the desired bonus.
The applicant has submitted a second letter arguing that the Board’s interpretation is incorrect, included
in the packet for the Board. The Board may deliberate and issue its decision which may include conditions
pertaining to required inclusionary covenants and documentation.

B) SITE PLAN REVIEW
14.07 Specific Review Standards
In all Zoning Districts and the City Center Form Based Codes District, the following standards shall apply:
H. Utility Services. Electric, telephone and other wire-served utility lines and service connections
shall be underground insofar as feasible and subject to state public utilities regulations. Any utility
installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to
neighboring properties and to the site. Standards of Section 15.A.18, Infrastructure, Utilities, and
Services, shall also be met.
Staff provided the plans updated 6/26/2023 to the South Burlington Water District, which indicated on
7/3/2023 the following comments still need to be addressed. Many of these comments are unchanged
from previously rounds of comments provided by the Water District. While these comments are
extensive, Staff considers they do not affect the appearance of the project and are sufficiently specific
that they can be included as conditions of approval.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to be familiar with the CWD Specifications beyond what is included
in this information. The Champlain Water District Specifications and Detail for the Installation of Water
Lines and Appurtenances information can be found at www.champlainwater.org
Plan Specific Comments
Sheet C3-01. (See sheet C3-01)
1. The proposed eight-inch (8”) tee shall include a main line gate valve on either side of the new tee
to be cut-in, secured to the tee with Foster Adapters; total three (3) eight-inch gate valves. This
must be shown on the plans. The cut-in of this tee shall require a shutdown on the only line
supplying the northern part of the City so must be scheduled for night work. At least three
weeks’ notice must be provided to the SBWD so all affected customers can be notified in advance
of the water service interruption.
2. Include a tracing wire box near tee per CWD Specifications.
3. A six-inch (6”) valve on the line supplying the Multi-family Residential 27DU building shall be
secured to the hydrant tee. Add a tracing wire box to this tee, per CWD Specifications.
4. Place the 1.5” curb box inside a gate valve box top when located in concrete or asphalt surface
areas. Include a minimum 1” paving riser.
5. Locate and abandon all three existing water services at the corporations. Close the corporations,
disconnect the service lines, and wrap the service taps in V-Bio polyurethane.
6. The services to all of the proposed buildings shall be copper and DI if petroleum infused soils are
encountered. See VT Water Supply Rule requirements.
7. Install 6” gate valve on FS line to 27 DU Multifamily Residential building. Add tracing wire box
per CWD Specifications.
8. See CWD Specifications for tracing wire requirements for all PVC water pipe.
Sheet C8-04
1. Water Details must be those found in the CWD Specifications. The Department will not accept
any pipe or material that is not in compliance with the CWD Specifications. There are too many
discrepancies to list here between Sheet C8-04 Water Details and the CWD Specifications.

C) SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS
13.05 Stormwater Management
Stormwater standards apply when one-half acre or more of impervious surface exists or is proposed to
exist, and where 5,000 sf of impervious is created or reconstructed. The City Stormwater Section
reviewed the plans and provided comments on 3/2/2023. The City Stormwater Section offers the
following comments on the revised plans received 5/23/2023.
1. The swale conveying water to Bioretention 7 terminates in a 9-foot vertical drop over the top of
the retaining wall into the bioretention. Please provide an appropriate inlet for water conveyed
to the bioretention from the swale.
On June 6, the Board asked the applicant to address this comment. The applicant indicated they would
add a yard drain. The plans have not been revised. Staff considers stormwater to be an area for which
the applicant has not sufficiently addressed the comments of the Board.
4. Staff recommends the Board confirm the applicant does not propose to make any changes to this
aspect of the plans.
13.07 Exterior Lighting
Specific requirements for maximum illumination levels are included in Appendix A and are limited to 3
footcandles average at ground level and 0.3 footcandles at the property line.
The June 6 Staff report recommended reducing lighting on the southern side of the property to reduce
excess spillover to 0.3 footcandles maximum, and reducing peak illumination levels to a more
reasonable level, on the order of 8 to 10 footcandles. The applicant testified on June 6 that the parking
lot lighting on the southern side of the site also illuminates the adjacent property. Staff considers
without a joint application, there is no nexus for this project to illuminate an adjacent property.
Illumination levels beyond the southern property line are up to 1 footcandle. However, the more
concerning area of illumination is the rear (east) entrance to the bank building, which is proposed to
have illumination levels in excess of 19 footcandles. Staff considers lighting to be an area for which the
applicant has not sufficiently addressed the comments of the Board.
5. Staff recommends the Board confirm the applicant does not propose to make any changes to this
aspect of the plans.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board discuss the remaining issues with the applicant and close the hearing.

TESTING WATER MAINS AND HYDRANTS
*ALL TESTING SHALL BE PERFORMED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE TOWN ENGINEER OR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IF
APPLICABLE OR PRIVATE OWNER/OPERATOR AND PROJECT ENGINEER (AS DESIGNATED BY OWNER). CONTRACTOR
SHALL PRE-TEST SUCCESSFULLY PRIOR TO CONTACTING PROJECT ENGINEER. THE PRE-TEST IS TO ENSURE PASSING
RESULTS PRIOR TO OFFICIAL TESTING OBSERVATION.
A.AFTER THE PIPE HAS BEEN LAID AND 7 DAYS AFTER THE CONCRETE THRUST BLOCKS AND ANCHORS HAVE BEEN
PLACED, THE WATER MAIN SHALL BE HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED ACCORDING TO THE LATEST EDITION OF THE
AWWA SPECIFICATION C-600, AND VERMONT PLUMBING RULES.
B.CONTRACTOR SHALL SUPPLY ALL NECESSARY APPARATUS TO PERFORM THE HYDROSTATIC TEST.
C. TEST PRESSURE SHALL BE 200 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH OR 1.5 TIMES THE WORKING PRESSURE MEASURED AT
OR NEAR THE HIGH POINT IN THE SYSTEM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. TEST SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS IN
DURATION. TESTING ALLOWANCE SHALL BE DEFINED AS THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT MUST BE SUPPLIED INTO
THE NEWLY LAID PIPE OR ANY VALVED SECTION THEREOF TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE WITHIN 5 PSI (34.5 kPa) OF THE
SPECIFIED TEST PRESSURE AFTER THE PIPE HAS BEEN FILLED WITH WATER AND THE AIR HAS BEEN EXPELLED. THE
TESTING ALLOWANCE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE (L) OR ELSE THE SECTION OF PIPE BEING
TESTED WILL BE CONSIDERED FAILED. TESTING ALLOWANCE SHALL NOT BE MEASURED BY A DROP IN PRESSURE IN
A TEST SECTION OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. REFER TO PIPE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED TESTING
PROCEDURE INCLUDING PIPE STABILIZATION PRIOR TO START OF TEST.
D.THE PROJECT ENGINEER AND THE MUNICIPALITY SHALL BE CONTACTED 48 HOURS PRIOR TO TESTING.
E.ALL VALVES SHOULD BE VERIFIED AS BEING OPEN OR CLOSED AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE PORTION OF THE
WATER MAIN BEING TESTED.
F.ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE SHALL BE COMPUTED BY THE FORMULA: L=(S x D x √P)/148,000 WHERE L IS LEAKAGE IN
GALLONS PER HOUR, S IS THE LENGTH OF PIPE TESTED IN FEET, D IS THE NOMINAL DIAMETER OF THE PIPE IN
INCHES AND P IS THE AVERAGE TEST PRESSURE IN POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH DURING THE TEST.
G.REPLACE AND RETEST ANY WORK FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AFTER FAILED TEST AT NO EXPENSE TO OWNER AND
RETEST UNTIL SYSTEM PASSES
A.AFTER TESTING THE WATER MAINS, OPEN THE HYDRANT FULLY AND FILL WITH WATER. TO PREVENT CAPS FROM
BEING BLOWN OFF, VENT AIR FROM ONE OF THE CAPS WHILE IT IS BEING FILLED. WHEN ALL THE AIR HAS
ESCAPED, TIGHTEN THE CAP.
B.ALLOW THE PRESSURE TO BUILD UP TO MAIN LINE PRESSURE AND CHECK FOR LEAKAGE AT FLANGES, NOZZLES
AND THE OPERATING STEM. RECORD STATIC PRESSURE IN PSI.
C.FLOW HYDRANT AND RECORD FLOW RATE IN GPM AND RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN PSI. SUBMIT RESULTS TO PROJECT
ENGINEER.
D.CLOSE THE HYDRANT, REMOVE ONE NOZZLE CAP AND PLACE THE PALM OF YOUR HAND OVER THE OPENING.
DRAINAGE SHOULD CREATE A NOTICEABLE SUCTION. IF NO SUCTION OR HYDRANT DOESN'T HAVE DRAIN,
MANUALLY PUMP WATER OUT OF BARREL.

DISINFECTION OF WATER SYSTEM
*ALL TESTING SHALL BE PERFORMED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE TOWN ENGINEER OR PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT AND PROJECT ENGINEER (AS DESIGNATED BY OWNER).
A. PRIOR TO BEING PUT INTO SERVICE, WATER MAINS SHALL BE DISINFECTED ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST EDITION OF AWWA SPECIFICATION C-651. THE TABLET METHOD IN AWWA STANDARD 651 IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
B. THE NEW LINE SHALL BE FLUSHED AT A VELOCITY OF NOT LESS THAN 2.5 FEET PER SECOND (OPEN
2-1/2 INCH HYDRANT CONNECTION). FLUSH FOR A PERIOD DETERMINED BY THE PROJECT ENGINEER
FOR THE LENGTH OF MAIN TO BE DISINFECTED.
C. CHLORINATION SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY INTRODUCING A SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION
FOR A RESULTANT CONCENTRATION OF GREATER THAN 25 PARTS PER MILLION OF FREE CHLORINE.
D. USING A NOZZLE AT EACH END HYDRANT, CONTROL THE RATE OF FLOW INTO THE NEW MAIN AND
PROPORTIONALLY FEED THE SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION INTO THE MAIN. AFTER THE SOLUTION
HAS REACHED ALL POINTS IN THE SYSTEM, CLOSE THE VALVE SUPPLYING WATER FROM THE EXISTING
MAIN AND THE END HYDRANTS. MAINTAIN THE HEAVILY CHLORINATED WATER IN THE MAIN FOR 24
HOURS DURING WHICH TIME ALL MAIN LINE VALVES SHOULD BE OPERATED. AFTER 24 HOURS THE
MINIMUM CHLORINE RESIDUAL MUST BE AT LEAST 10 PARTS PER MILLION.
E. FLUSH HEAVILY CHLORINATED WATER FROM THE LINE AND REFILL THE LINE FOR SERVICE (USE
CHLORINE DIFFUSER). TAKE AND SUBMIT TWO BACTERIOLOGICAL SAMPLES (TAKEN 24 HOURS APART)
OF THE WATER TO THE STATE OF VERMONT OR A STATE APPROVED TESTING LABORATORY. IF THE
RESULTS ARE UNSATISFACTORY, THE DISINFECTION PROCEDURE WILL BE REPEATED UNTIL
SATISFACTORY RESULTS ARE OBTAINED.
F. FINISHED WATER STORAGE STRUCTURES SHALL BE DISINFECTED IF APPLICABLE, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CURRENT AWWA STANDARD C652. TWO OR MORE SUCCESSIVE SETS OF SAMPLES, TAKEN AT 24
HOUR INTERVALS, SHALL INDICATE MICROBIOLOGICALLY SATISFACTORY WATER BEFORE THE FACILITY
IS PLACES INTO OPERATION.
G. DISPOSAL OF HEAVILY CHLORINATED WATER FROM THE DISINFECTION PROCESS SHALL BE
DE-CHLORINATED OR OTHERWISE HANDLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
VERMONT AGENCY OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
H. THE DISINFECTION PROCEDURE (AWWA CHLORINATION METHOD 3, SECTION 4.3 C652) WHICH
ALLOWS USE OF THE CHLORINATED WATER HELD IN THE STORAGE TANK FOR DISINFECTION PURPOSES
IS NOT RECOMMENDED. WHEN THAT PROCEDURE IS USED, IT IS REQUIRED THAT THE INITIAL HEAVILY
CHLORINATED WATER BE PROPERLY DISPOSED IN ORDER TO PREVENT RELEASE OF WATER WHICH
MAY CONTAIN VARIOUS CHLORINATED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INTO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

Re: Inclusionary Housing
760 & 764 Shelburne Road and 31 Swift Street, South Burlington
Dear Chair:
I recently submitted an opinion regarding the calculation of inclusionary housing units under the
housing bonus provided under § 18.01(g)(2) of the South Burlington Zoning Ordinance. As you
may remember, there is a difference of opinion whether an application in this instance utilizing
the full bonus for 30 units requires 10 inclusionary units (staff’s opinion) or 7 (applicant’s
position). The interpretation is important because for this development and other developments,
staff’s opinion will cause applicants to abandon use of the bonus, which will have the pernicious
effect of causing applicants to build less housing (both market rate and inclusionary) because as
interpreted by staff, the bonus is not a bonus at all.
As follow-up to our discussion, I reached out to Brian Sullivan for his views on the subject.
Brian is not only a recent former member of the South Burlington DRB, but he is also a highly
respected land use and zoning attorney who has no dog in this fight. Our e-mail discussion is
attached verbatim, his calculation and comments being, and I quote:
“My interpretation of Section 18.01(G)(2) (density bonuses) requires a calculation as follows:
1.Determine the total number of units allowed in the applicable district for the applicable
use;
2.Determine how many of those units must be inclusionary, which will be the same number
as the “offset” units;
3.Add the number of offset units to the total determined in step one;
4.Determine the difference between the total number of units and 1.5 x the total number of
units;

5. Take the number determined in step 4 and divide it in half – yielding the number of
potential additional inclusionary units, which will be the same as the number of “bonus”
market rate units.
Let’s take the numbers in the City’s Example 4:
1. Total units allowed is 40;
2. Required inclusionary units total 6; which is the same number as the offset units;
3. The total at this point is 46;
4. The difference between the total number of units (46) and 1.5x the allowed amount (60)
is 14;
5. If the developer wants to add all 14, he or she must divide that equally between
inclusionary and market rate “bonus” units. That results in a grand total of 60 units, 13 of
which are inclusionary and 47 of which are market rate. The calculations done in this
Example are, therefore, wrong, at least as to the breakdown of inclusionary vs. market
rate units.
Let’s use the numbers in our case:
1. Total units allowed is 20;
2. Required inclusionary units total 3; which is the same number as the offset units
3. The total at this point is 23;
4. The difference between the total number of units (23) and 1.5x the allowed amount (30)
is 7;
5. If the developer wants to add all 7, he must divide that equally between inclusionary and
market rate bonus units. Of course, 7 is an odd number, so you’d round the inclusionary
up from 3.5 to 4 and the market rate bonus units down from 3.5 to 3. This results in a
grand total of 30 units, 7 of which are inclusionary and 23 of which are market rate.
So, in sum, it is my opinion that your calculations are correct and those of the Planning and
Zoning Department are incorrect.”
Based on simple rules of construing zoning ordinances, the explicit manner of calculation
prevails over an erroneous example. To that point, I followed up with Brian on this “zoning
interpretation 101” hierarchy, to which he replied, “I agree. The language in the Regs is
unambiguous, so it controls. The examples would be useful except for the fact that there is a
math error in number 4.” Attorney Sullivan’s opinion is correct. As the Vermont Supreme
stated,

[the] goal in interpreting a zoning ordinance is to effectuate the intent of the drafters. In
re Howard Ctr. Renovation Permit, 2014 VT 60, ¶ 9, 196 Vt. 542, 99 A.3d 1013. And
because “[t]he primary purpose of zoning is to bring about the orderly physical
development of a community,” it is “essential” to our inquiry that we examine not only
the plain language of the disputed ordinance, but also the whole of the enactment, seeking
to effectuate its every part. In re Tyler Self-Storage Unit Permits, 2011 VT 66, ¶ 13, 190
Vt. 132, 27 A.3d 1071 (quotation omitted). Where the ordinance's “‘express language
leads to an irrational result,’” we turn to other sources to guide our inquiry into the
drafters’ intent. Confluence Behav. Health, 2017 VT 112, ¶ 20, 206 Vt. 302, 180 A.3d
867 (quoting Tyler Self-Storage Unit Permits, 2011 VT 66, ¶ 6, 190 Vt. 132, 27 A.3d
1071). Because zoning ordinances exist in derogation of private property rights, such
ambiguities are resolved in favor of the landowner. In re Lathrop Ltd. P'ship I, 2015 VT
49, ¶ 29, 199 Vt. 19, 121 A.3d 630.
In this regard, zoning regulations are construed “’in light of the intention indicated by the
caption’ to avoid unfounded interpretations.” State v. Lynch, 137 Vt. 607, 613, 409 A.2d 1001,
1005 (1979) (citing Audette v. Greer, 134 Vt. 300, 302, 360 A.2d 66, 68 (1976)). In this case,
the intent is expressly stated in the caption as a “Density Bonus for Exceeding Inclusionary
Housing Requirements”. The language of § 18.01(G)(2) unequivocally provides for a split in the
bonus units between market and inclusionary. Example 4 contains no such split nor any bonus,
so it’s just a mistake in the drafting of the ordinance that must be ignored.
Respectfully, this matter is resolved by recourse to basic principles of statutory construction, and
I do not see it as a close call. Frankly, I think any 10 lawyers and any 10 judges would opine the
same way, so I again encourage you to run this by counsel for the city. I apologize for pushing
so hard on this point, but this is important because if the current interpretation stands, the project
will lose seven units, four of which would have been inclusionary. Moreover, if the
interpretation stands, it will adversely impact any number of residential projects involving the
bonus.
I’m happy to discuss with counsel if that would be helpful.
Cordially yours,
PAUL FRANK + COLLINS P.C.

Hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me. I don’t see an issue with you’re having been on the DRB. May
even help in some ways. The client is Gary Bourne for conflict issues. I have permission to seek an
opinion, but I should get your rate so I can pass along. I’ve attached a draft of the calculation I did that
provides the numbers and the zoning provisions.
The letter explains our calculation for adding 7 additional units under the bonus, which we feel should
be 1 market rental for each voluntary inclusionary rental. Planning is taking the position that all 7
should be inclusionary, which seems to conflict with the operable provision that says:
§ 18.01G(2):
(2) Density Bonuses. When an applicant voluntarily includes, in the base zoning density unit-maximum
for the development, more than the number of inclusionary units required under Section 18.01(C)(1),
then upon the applicant’s request, the development shall receive, in addition to the offset units, a
density bonus. The density bonus shall be one dwelling unit for each voluntary Inclusionary Rental
Unit and two dwelling units for each voluntary Inclusionary Ownership Unit, up to a maximum density
of 50% more than the base maximum density permitted in the zoning district…. Density bonus
dwelling units are not subject to the inclusionary affordability requirements.
(Emphasis added.)
Planning is hung up on an example 4 provided in the ordinance, which states:
Example (4): In a 40-unit rental housing development on a 10-acre plot in a R4 district, the developer is
required to build six (6) inclusionary units. The developer shall receive an offset of six (6) market rate
dwelling units, and the project now includes a total of 46 dwelling units. In order to receive approval for
the maximum 50% density increase (which equates to a maximum of 14 additional units in this example
since the offset units need to be accounted for), the developer includes an additional fourteen (14)
inclusionary units in the base zoning density unit-maximum (40) for which the developer receives 14
bonus density units. In sum, the total project includes 60 units, 20 of which are inclusionary (33% of the
units) and 40 of which are market rate (67% of the units).
I think the example 4 was calculated incorrectly, if one goes by the math provided in the density
provision; otherwise, it’s a bonus without a bonus. The pernicious effect is that the developer just pulls
the additional units, which helps no one. I’ve taken the position that, in conflict. the ordinance
calculation under 18.01G(2) prevails over the example. I don’t see how they can be reconciled, but if I’m
wrong I should know it. Please run your own calculation and, if I’m wrong or missing something, please
let me know. Please feel free to review the ordinance to the extent you need to or look at any case law
you deem necessary for the review. I’m trying to get an answer quickly (my apologies), as planning is
asking for things on an expedited basis.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Legal opinion
Hi Mark:
Thanks for your patience. I’ve looked at the description of Gary’s project in
light of the applicable South Burlington Land Development Regulations and
the examples given in that section of the LDRs. In brief, I concur with your
reasoning and conclusion. Let me explain.
My interpretation of Section 18.01(G)(2) (density bonuses) requires a
calculation as follows:
1. Determine the total number of units allowed in the applicable district
for the applicable use;
2. Determine how many of those units must be inclusionary, which will be
the same number as the “offset” units;
3. Add the number of offset units to the total determined in step one;
4. Determine the difference between the total number of units and 1.5 x
the total number of units;
5. Take the number determined in step 4 and divide it in half – yielding the
number of potential additional inclusionary units, which will be the
same as the number of “bonus” market rate units.
Let’s take the numbers in the City’s Example 4:
1. Total units allowed is 40;
2. Required inclusionary units total 6; which is the same number as the
offset units;
3. The total at this point is 46;
4. The difference between the total number of units (46) and 1.5x the
allowed amount (60) is 14;
5. If the developer wants to add all 14, he or she must divide that equally
between inclusionary and market rate “bonus” units. That results in a
grand total of 60 units, 13 of which are inclusionary and 47 of which are
market rate. The calculations done in this Example are, therefore,
wrong, at least as to the breakdown of inclusionary vs. market rate
units.
Let’s use the numbers in our case:
3
1. Total units allowed is 20;
2. Required inclusionary units total 3; which is the same number as the
offset units
3. The total at this point is 23;
4. The difference between the total number of units (23) and 1.5x the
allowed amount (30) is 7;
5. If the developer wants to add all 7, he must divide that equally between
inclusionary and market rate bonus units. Of course, 7 is an odd
number, so you’d round the inclusionary up from 3.5 to 4 and the
market rate bonus units down from 3.5 to 3. This results in a grand
total of 30 units, 7 of which are inclusionary and 23 of which are market
rate.
So, in sum, it is my opinion that your calculations are correct and those of the
Planning and Zoning Department are incorrect.
