August 1, 2023 South Burlington Development Review Board c/o Marla Keene, Development Review Planner via email
Dear Members of the South Burlington Development Review Board, The University of Vermont is in receipt of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont application for stormwater management at All Saints Church, located at 1250 Spear Street.
As the stormwater flows from this project are directed north to the University’s Whittlesey Tract, we offer the following requests for mitigation to assist in maintaining the current runoff conditions post-development.
• UVM requests that a level spreader be placed at the daylight end of the drain pipe that collects
the downspout on the south side of the church roof and that at least 15 feet of vegetation be
maintained between the pipe outfall and the top of the swale for runoff disconnection.
• UVM requests that dense vegetation be maintained at all times for runoff disconnection
between the east side of the new sidewalk and the swale.
Thank you to the members of the DRB and to the Episcopal Diocese for considering these
requests to ensure that these changes do not increase the runoff flows onto the University’s property. Best,
Lisa Kingsbury Associate Director of Planning
