Thanks for catching that!

There is an existing rec path to which they could connect. It would not resolve the gap in the network because Shelburne Road would still be a sidewalk, but a smaller gap is still a smaller gap Marla Keene, PE Development Review Planner City of South Burlington (802) 846-4106 From: Erica Quallen <equallen@southburlingtonvt.gov> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 1:03 PM To: Marla Keene <mkeene@southburlingtonvt.gov> Cc: Tom DiPietro <tdipietro@southburlingtonvt.gov> Subject: RE: SD-23-05 760 Shelburne Road - technical review Hi Marla – I have the following additional comments:  Site Plan: o I agree about the need to relocate the crosswalk signal poll and pedestrian pushbutton assembly. o The radii on the driveway entrances are very large. Can it be confirmed that they need to be this wide or if entrances and radii can be tightened? o Where truncated domes are needed (particularly crossing Swift St), please ensure that they are large enough and placed according to PROWAG standards (See sections R305.1.4 and 305.2)  Traffic Impact Assessment: o The background traffic growth factor was calculated to be -5.2% between 2016 and 2029 (page 2). It doesn’t seem reasonable that traffic would decrease more than 5% in the 13-year time frame). I did not calculate that growth rate when looking at the RedBook values and instead got a much smaller decrease (~2% decrease). If a conservative growth rate of 0% was used, what would the resulting LOS at the intersection be in the build conditions?  I’m not necessarily concerned about the LOS, but would want to see a more conservative approach. 2 o Were pedestrian calls on the intersection considered? I don’t see a pedestrian phase in the Synchro outputs. Even if the number of calls is small, it would be good practice to always include pedestrians in the analysis as ped volumes increase Citywide. o Please show the 95th percentile queues on all approaches during AM and PM Peak Thanks!

The applicant is reminded that they will need to obtain a ROW permit from the department of public works before completing any work in this ROW.  The Shelburne Road ROW is owned by the State of Vermont. The applicant is reminded that they will need to obtain a section 1111 permit from VTrans before completing any work in this ROW.  I am concerned about the ATM queue backing up into Swift Street. What information is available related to the likelihood of this happening? What measures are being put in place to prevent this?  Please confirm that the City will have an easement for the sidewalk located on the north side of the property adjacent to the Swift St ROW.  Crosswalk striping and truncated domes are not necessary across private drives. The sidewalk should continue through the driveway and maintain it’s elevation. The grade of the new drive should be modified, as necessary, to meet the grade of the sidewalk.  Please provide more information on the crosswalk signal pole. It’s location appears to be in the middle of the sidewalk and it may need to get moved.  The DRB should include a condition that all EPSC measures be maintained and any soil tracked off site must be collected (swept up) at the end of each work day.  I may have missed it, but has a snow storage area been defined? Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
