M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment From: Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative Officer Re: Application to Timberlake Associates (September 26, 1994) Date: September 15, 1994 Timberlake Associates, David Simendinger will be requesting approval to construct a multiple use on a property located at 801 Williston Road. Uses as proposed: a) 1750 square feet mini -mart (b) gasoline pumps with four automatic dispensers (canopy 40'x 46') and a ATM approximately 72 square feet floor area. Be advised that as of this date, no traffic data has been submitted by the applicant. We expect that evidence regarding traffic will be submitted at the hearing. Traffic data (vehicle trip ends) was reviewed and calculated from I.T.E. standards and are somewhat different as to use. Convenience market with gas pumps (4 pumps): 20.6 vte per pump x 4 = 82.4 vte's or - 73.05 vte per 1,000 square feet of structure, 73.05 vte x 1.75 = 127.8 vte's. Walk-in bank: 17.3 vte per 1,000 square feet 17.3 x .072 = 1.25 vte's No data available on ATM's Using counts submitted by the Howard Bank application for 205 Dorset Street, total peak traffic trips (4-6 P.M.) were 51 vte's. Under the Traffic Overlay District, the area is located within Zone 1 (15 vte's per 40,000 square foot lot). 79,180N\square feet/40,000 square feet x 15 = 29.7 vte's. The three uses proposed are permitted uses, application is a multiple use of property. Conditional use, Section 26.65. EDGE OF ROAD EDGE OF PARKING LOT PAVEMENT NOTES 1.

The Champlain Water District foresees no restriction or encumbrance upon its present users by supplying water to this project. See the attached letter from CWD dated September 13, 1994. 2. Timberlake requests an allocation increase of 1085 GPD (this is 300 GPD less than originally requested in September 1994 due to a reduction in gasoline pump islands from 4 to 3). See the attached proiect demand desiqn memorandum dated 9 Sept 94, last revised 27 Mar 95. SEWER SERVICE: 1. In a conversation with Joe Weith on September 16, 1994, Mr. Weith indicated no foreseeable problem with issuing a sewer allocation once all local approval have been issued. P.O.

This connection was staked out by the South Burlinqton Department of Public Works on 31 August 1994. STORMSEWER: 1. The proiect stormwater discharge flow for a 25 year/24 hour storm event is less flow after construction than that experienced from the site in its current condition. See a copy of my letter to Mike Boudreau at UVM and Gene Cenci from the Sheraton for further explanation. 2. This office met with Sonny Audette from the Public Works Department to discuss the stormwater tie-in. Mr. Audette requested that a new catch basin be added to the existing storm sewer at the point of connection in the Williston R.O.W.

Postdevelopment stormwater discharge calculations dated 9/15/94 and 2/22/95; and, 4. a draft cut -sheet for proposed catch basins (CB A and CB B) which illustrates a modified outlet planned for those catch basins located on the Timberlake property. You will note that the Postdevelopment 24 hour/25 year storm event is less discharge than what is currently experienced from the property. This is due mainly to our minimizing Postdevelopment impervious surfaces and maximizing travel time and time of concentration across the property. As such, this project when fully developed should not represent an increase in stormwater discharge. In fact, discharge patterns P.O.

With improved grading run-off will be directed via overland grass flow to two collector catch basins (CB A and CB B). These same catch basins will also collect run-off from the paved and roof surfaces. The catch basins will connect directly to the existing storm drain located within the Williston Road right-of-way. There is also a receiving catch basin located behind Spillanes Mobil on the paved edge of the shopping center parking lot. This catch basin will continue to receive run-off generated upslope from this project as it now does. If you have any questions or desire further information please do not hesitate to call me. I would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before the next Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting which is scheduled for March 27, 1995. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Burlington, VT 05402 Dear David: This letter is to update the information that I provided in my 21 October 1994 regarding the traffic -related effects of the proposed change of use of the Chittenden Bank property at the corner of Williston Road and East Terrace/East Avenue in South Burlington. As before, the change that is proposed is from a drive-in bank operation to a mini -market with gasoline pumps. The new proposal calls for turn restrictions imposed by geometric modifications at both driveway locations, removal of the outside ATM facility, reduction from four pumps (8 pump stations) to three pumps (6 pump stations) and other site plan changes to improve internal circulation and parking. Drive-in banks in South Burlington and elsewhere have trip generation rates that vary across a wide range. The ITE data for facilities of a size similar to the Chittenden Bank property (2,000 s.£) show average PM peak volumes of 200 trips per hour, with a range up to 460 trips per hour. This range reflects both the variation in volume that occurs due to market differences and the variations that inherently occur across time at any given facility. Within South Burlington, counts of 199 and 252 trips/hour were reported in the early 1980s at the Merchants Bank and Burlington Savings Bank facilities, respectively. Pinkham Engineering reports counts 173 and 235 at Vermont Federal and Chittenden Bank locations. For mini -markets with gasoline pumps, the range of trip generation rates reported by ITE is somewhat more limited. In one of the most comprehensive studies of this use, the volumes ranged from 55 trips/hour to 140 trips/hour for a 1,750 s.f. facility.l The average trip generation estimate from that study would amount to 100 trips per hour for the proposed facility. A very recent ITE Manual update2 predicts an average rate equivalent to 109 trips for this 1,750 s.f. facility. Given the turn restrictions imposed by the new site plan and the reduction from 4 pumps to 3, even lower rates might be expected. This traffic level is considerably less than what would be expected from a fully -operational 2,000 s.f. drive-in bank. The South Burlington zoning regulation considers total peak hour trips generated by uses. However, it is also useful to consider the types of trips generated by new facilities. For drive-in banks, roughly half of the trips generated are either pass -by or diverted (i.e. are not making a 76 Olcott Drive new trip just to visit the bank). By comparison, approximately 85% of trips to mini -markets with White River Junction Vermont 05001-2313 1 Tipton, W.E., Transportation Characteristics of Convenience Stores with Gasoline Pumps, ITEJournal, June TeL• 802.295.4999 1990. 2 ITE Trip Generation 5th Edition Update, February 1995.

In summary, the mini -market with gasoline pumps use proposed has a lower estimated trip generation rate than the drive-in bank use which is currently permitted for this property.

The South Burlington zoning regulation considers total peak hour trips generated by uses. However, it is also useful to consider the types of trips generated by new facilities. For drive in banks, roughly half of the Lips generated are eithef pass -by or diverted i.e. are not making a new trip just to visit the bank). By comparison, approximately W. /o of trips to mini -markets with gasoline pumps are pass-hy or diverted.' This means that the net impact on traffic beyond the driveways is significantly lower for these uses than for virtually any other type of use tincluding drive-in banks) with equivalent trips generation rates. In summary, the mini -market with gasoline pumps use proposed has a lower estimated trip generation rate than the drive in bank use which is currently permitted for this property Sincerely, Resou ce Systems Grant, Inc, / Thomas J.
