HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes - Development Review Board - 02/04/2014 The South Burlington Development Review Board held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 4 February 2014 at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset St. Members Present: T. Barritt, Chair; M. Behr, B. Miller, D. Parsons, M. Sirotkin, and J. Smith Also Present: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; D. Marshall, J. & B. Goldberg, G. Rabideau, W. Smith, L. Waters, D. Burke, D. Dopp, I. Warda, J. Magnus, P. Brogna, R. Jeffers, J. Boyd 1. Announcements: There were no announcements. 2. Continued Preliminary and Final Plat Application #SD-13-39 of Super Temp Realty Company, Inc., for a planned unit development to construct a 27,500 sq. ft. light manufacturing facility, 104 Bowdoin Street: Mr. Marshall said they had no issues with staff notes. He noted that a 7-foot height waiver will support the area in the mid-portion of the building needed for equipment to treat wire. They were asked to break up the mass and have added windows to do that. Mr. Marshall reviewed the standards of the height waiver and said it does not adversely affect the aesthetics in the area. Mr. Marshall showed a colored rendering of the building. There is a peaked roof at the entrance. Mr. Behr felt it looked more in line with other buildings in the industrial park. Mr. Barritt reviewed comments from Art Klugo who likes the windows and supports a motion to close the hearing. Ms. Smith questioned why there are no windows on the Interstate side of the building. Mr. Marshall said it wouldn’t get any direct sunlight, and that area of the building is used for equipment set-up. Mr. Miller then moved to close the hearing. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Conditional Use Application #CU-13-07 of Laura J. Waters & William L. Smith to create a 400 sq. ft. accessory residential unit and construct an exterior staircase to access the new accessory unit, 50 Central Avenue: Mr. Smith said they recently bought the property, and the building needs improvement. They will put in an accessory apartment. They will live in the house. There will be 3-car parking in the driveway. Mr. Miller asked if they will complete the fence. Mr. Smith said they didn’t know; it’s a money issue. Staff had no issues. Mr. Miller moved to close the hearing. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Continued Preliminary Plat Application #SD-13-22 & Master Plan Application #MP-13-01 of Rye Associates to subdivide an 18.01 acre parcel into 30 lots for development of: 1) 36 single family dwellings, 2) four 4-unit multi-family dwellings, and 3) four commercial buildings totaling 20,000 sq. ft., 1075 Hinesburg Road: Mr. Rabideau indicated the landscape plans included in the packet. He noted they don’t propose to fence the wetland because it is part of a parkland dedication. Mr. Marshall noted the 55-foot buffer has been reduced to 25 feet as previously agreed on. He added it is barely a wetland and is hard to tell where it begins and ends. Mr. Conner said the 25 feet is OK. Mr. Rabideau said they don’t yet have a letter from the Fire Chief. The road has been designed to meet standards laid out by Justin Rabidoux. Mr. Belair said if there is a problem, it can be addressed at final. That can be a stipulation. Regarding a one space parking waiver for lot #8, Mr. Rabideau said they could enlarge the parking lot by one space, but it would be to the detriment of the cottage area. Mr. Marshall added these are small units, and people are not likely to have 3 cars. Mr. Rabideau said they can stipulate that utilities will go underground. Mr. Marshall said they met with Justin Rabidoux regarding the cottage circle. If it is going to be a public street, it has to look like one. They have done all that is required: radius, neckdowns, etc. Justin is comfortable with this. Mr. Rabideau showed the landscape concept for the cottage area. Mr. Barritt suggested something prettier than trees. Mr. Rabideau said they can explore that for final plat. They have talked about shared gardening in the complex, and there could be some flower gardening as well. Regarding trash/recycling for commercial building #1, one building has 2 outdoor closets and one will have rollaway containers. One of the tenants is a mental health facility and will not generate much trash. Regarding separation of the residential areas from the park area, Mr. Rabideau said they will have to work that out with the city. There could be a fence, but they really don’t want that. Mr. Conner noted that backyards tend to “extend.” If there is to be a public park, there needs to be a perception that visitors are welcome there. Mr. Barritt said he would prefer plantings to a fence. Regarding the issue of width to depth ratio from city streets, Mr. Barritt noted that Mr. Klugo felt the building envelopes could be increased to address this. Mr. Rabideau felt this was reasonable, and they will talk to the client about it. Mr. Conner said staff is comfortable the way it is. Mr. Rabideau noted that on-street parking on Swift Street Extension is not intended by them. That would be up to the city. Regarding pole heights, Mr. Marshall noted that poles are taller than the guidelines. They were OK with lowering the poles to 12 feet at pedestrian crossings. They do have 16 foot poles at intersections. Mr. Barritt felt strongly about this and said he couldn’t support more than 14 feet. Mr. Marshall said they may then have to put in more lights. Following a brief discussion on the porches of the cottage units, members agreed it was a lovely design. Regarding variety in building color, Mr. Rabideau said they can provide a color plan that will be filled in as homes are built. Mr. Belair can then see the intent for variety is being met. Members were OK with this. Regarding lot depth ration for commercial lots, Mr. Rabideau noted the first row has been shifted back to increase the depth of the lots a bit. Buildings address the street. He stressed that the commercial district is meant to be integrated into the design. Members were comfortable with that. In answer to whether a sidewalk was removed in the north/south direction, Mr. Marshall said they had strengthened the multi-use path and had been asked to refocus toward Rye Circle, so they removed the sidewalk there. Mr. Marshall noted the district asks for appropriate landscaping as a transition between commercial and residential. They have a buffer and have used a public right-of-way to utilize that separation. Members were OK with this. Mr. Rabideau asked to close the public hearing so they can go on to final plat. He didn’t see any major issues, just refinement. Mr. Miller said the plan was to close the master plan. Mr. Conner said if the Board is comfortable with having the final recommendations of the Public Works Department and Fire Department at final plat, staff is OK with closing the hearing. Mr. Conner noted that in the Master Plan, the open space doesn’t quite match up (there is a condition that this happen). Collector streets (Swift St. Ext. and part of Rye St.) don’t move. Staff has also identified the waivers that are appropriate to the Master Plan. Anything for commercial lots 2-5 only needs site plan review. Other amendments could go directly to final plat. Mr. Conner also noted that condition #7 and #8 should refer to the wetland as 25 feet wide, not 50 feet. Mr. Miller then moved to close the Master Plan hearing with a note that the wetland is 25 feet and not 50 feet. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Miller moved to close the preliminary plat. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Sketch Plan Application #SD-13-42 of Wedgewood Development Corporation for a planned unit development consisting of: 1) six 2-family dwellings, and 2) three single family lots, 232 Autumn Hill Road: Mr. Burke noted that an agricultural issue has been settled in court. The project layout is the same as the previous plan with a public road. He indicated the Goldberg house (existing) and the proposed new units. There will be a private road to serve the duplexes. Homes will be served by municipal water and sewer. The applicant is OK with a community garden. Regarding the definition of the wetland boundary, Mr. Burke showed the location and the “fingers” that jut to the east. This is a class 2 wetland which requires a 50-foot buffer. There is a linear stormwater feature to delineate the buffer between the homes and the wetland. They could add birdhouses on posts. The wetland permit is being reviewed by the state. The footprints will be revised to encompass the decks. They will meet with the Public Works director regarding the cul-de-sac design. They cannot meet the 150 foot center line and turn radius. Regarding housing types/styles, Mr. Burke said there will be duplexes and single family homes. They will bring in color variations and shingle variations. There will be step-back garages. Regarding the rec path, there will be a sidewalk to connect to the existing path. There is a bike path connection to Black Dog Lane. Mr. Burke noted a path connection to Cheesefactory Road is out of their hands but could happen in the future. Mr. Burke said they are opposed to a cut across easement across their property. There is a path all the way to the south line and to the Jewetts to the north. They do not favor the parking of 4 cars in the cu- de-sac for park access. They will work with Public Works on this. They are presuming they have to come in for water and wastewater allocations again. They would like to combine preliminary and final plat. The only issue could be the cu- de-sac design and they will work with Public Works on that. They will check with the Fire Chief regarding sprinklering. Mr. Behr said he supports a better plan for the turn-around, if Public Works can come up with one. Ms. Dopp said it doesn’t make sense to bring the rec path through there. Mr. Conner said staff is comfortable with combining preliminary and final plats. Mr. Warda, a neighbor, said they were concerned with the entrance creating a 4-way intersection and with headlights going into their front rooms. Mr. Behr urged him to talk with the applicant. 6. Preliminary Plat Application #SD-13-44 of South Village Communities, LLC, for approval of Phase II of 334 unit planned unit development. Phase II is to consist of the following: 1) 23 single family units, 2) 13 two-family dwellings, 3) 1 three-unit multi-family dwelling and 4) 39 multi-family dwelling units in four buildings, 1840 Spear Street: Mr. Marshall noted some of the natural attributes of the site, including a major and a secondary wetland. The larger one is partly on the property. He also indicated a traffic signal already installed. Phase I of the plan is currently under construction. The Master Plan identifies maximum densities. Mr. Marshall indicated the Phase II and Phase III areas. Mr. Marshall noted the plan includes a connector to the north and 3 different connections points on Spear Street to diversify traffic and to prevent large queueing. They have had to renew their wetland permit, and there is some change in the delineation of the wetland. They meet the 300 foot distance from the major part of the wetland for “quiet paths.” Beyond the core area, the wetland is very difficult to define. What used to be a wetland in one area has moved, so an open space area has also changed on the plan. Mr. Burke said they had a sketch plan a year ago. Since then, the area to be developed has been reduced a little. He showed where the 3 duplexes are being proposed. In order not to trigger Master Plan review, they have been removed. They have intermingled single family and duplex units. Single family lots are the same as on the Master Plan. Mr. Burke also showed where a road was eliminated by moving buildings to the interior. They questioned whether the change of roads triggers Master Plan review. They feel they meet the intent of the Master Plan. Regarding access, prior to the 50th unit, they will build a second access to Phase II. Mr. Burke felt this could probably happen earlier than that. They have submitted legal documents for open space. This had previously been reviewed. The Fire Chief had no concerns other than the road which should have only one name. They have agreed to everything Public Works asked for. Mr. Burke showed the route of the rec path. They agree on which will become a multi-use path (he showed the route of this). The two paths will be connected. Mr. Burke also showed one sidewalk vs. the 2 originally discussed. They feel it is more important on the west side with fewer driveway cuts. They’ve had no feedback from Public Works on this. Mr. Barritt said he would like the longest piece of sidewalk they can achieve without crossing streets. Mr. Burke said it just crosses more driveways there. Regarding parking, Mr. Conner noted there was a waiver that triplexes are exempt from site plan review, so staff feels parking can have the same parking exemption as single family and duplexes (they can park in front of the buildings). Regarding block lengths, Mr. Burke showed two 500-foot roads and said nothing can be done about that. The regulations indicate that if a road is more than 500 feet, there must be rec path connection in the middle. Mr. Burke showed that connection on both long blocks. Mr. Burke said they are asking for continued support for the narrower, shallower lots. This is how they appear on the Master Plan. They will change the 16-foot light poles to 14 feet. Most of the elevations don’t meet the 8‐foot garage setback. They believe this is OK because of the Master Plan. Mr. Marshall said they are working with staff on wetland buffers. They are using a split rail fence concept where there are houses. He showed the area for this on the plan. Mr. Conner said the concern is that property owners will think the trail is the end of their backyards when there is no fencing. He suggested a clarifying element is needed. Mr. Sirotkin left the meeting at this point. Regarding the garage setbacks. Ms. Jeffers noted the 8-foot setback is not a standard on the Master Plan. In Phase I they have been designing with a neighborhood integrated design. Every home has either a front porch or stoop. These vary quite a bit. Ms. Jeffers showed a home with a garage all the way in front. She noted there was a ruling that the garage setback did not apply because the standard was not in place when the Master Plan was done. Mr. Conner added there was a legal analysis regarding Phase I. He didn’t recall whether the decision was based solely on the Master Plan or on that plus the Site Plan. He encouraged the Board to discuss lots which are in mid-section which are not on the Master Plan. Mr. Burke said they would like consistency with Phase I and Phase II. He asked if they could move forward without a continuance. Ms. Boyd, a Phase I resident, supported the new Phase II outline. She noted a number of residents have concerns regarding erosion control/stormwater. She noted the slope of Jefferson St. Ms. Boyd also noted that in the covenants, there are differences between recreation and quiet paths. No dogs are allowed on quiet paths. She felt this has to be enforced. Ms. Boyd also noted that people in the neighborhood walk a lot, and there are many older residents. A sidewalk on both sides of Jefferson would be useful. She didn’t feel it was as necessary in the northern part with the multi‐use path. Ms. Boyd supported the delineation of the wetland as did other neighbors. Mr. Belair said the only major issue that is unresolved is the front garage question. He felt they could continue and solve this at Final Plat or wait and know the answer and decide whether to provide relief on some lots. Mr. Miller moved to close the application. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Continued sketch plan application #SD-13-36 of Elizabeth & Joel Bradley for a planned unit development to add one dwelling unit to an accessory structure on two lots developed with a retail building and a mixed use building (general office, personal service & 4 dwelling units), 1197 & 1203 Williston Road). 8. Continued Master Plan Application #MP-11-03 & Preliminary Plat Application #SD-11-51 of Farrell Real Estate for a Planned Unit Development on 25.91 acres developed with two single family dwellings. The project consists of: 1) razing one single family dwelling, 2) constructing 24 single family dwellings, and 30 constructing 21 two-family dwellings, 1302, 1340 and 1350 Spear Street: Mr. Belair advised that the applicants for both item #7 and #8 had requested a continuance. Mr. Miller moved to continue #SD-13-36 and #MP-11-03 and #SD-11-51 until 18 March 2014. Mr. Parsons seconded. Motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 p.m. Clerk April 15, 2014, Date Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING Report updated: January 31, 2014 Application received: November 15, 2013 104 BOWDOIN STREET PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLAT APPLICATION #SD-13-39 Agenda # 2 Meeting Date: January 7, 2014; February 4, 2014 Applicant/Owner Super-Temp Wire & Cable c/o Peter Kenny 133 Elm Street Winooski, VT 05404 Engineer/Contact Dave Marshall, P.E.

A sketch plan hearing for this project was held by the DRB on September 17, 2013. We also note that a similar, larger project on this property has been approved more than once in the past. COMMENTS Administrative Officer Ray Belair, Director of Planning & Zoning Paul Conner, and Planner Temporary Assignment Lee Krohn, AICP, referred to herein as Staff, had reviewed the original plans submitted on November 15, 2013, and had the following comments. Please note that in response to issues raised at the first hearing, the applicant has submitted revised information and plans. As described in a cover letter from David Marshall dated January 24, 2014, these include architectural modifications and an updated utility plan which now includes the fire hydrant requested by the Fire Chief. You will find these updated documents in your packet. Zoning District & Dimensional Requirements Table 1. Dimensional Requirements IO Zoning District Required Proposed √ Min. Lot Size 3 acres 3.29 acres √ Max. Density n/a n/a √ Max. Building Coverage 30% 19.2 % √ Max. Overall Coverage 50% 42 % √ Min. Front Setback 50 ft. ~225 ft. √ Min. Side Setback 35 ft. ~37 ft. √ Min. Rear Setback 50 ft. ~115 ft. ** Max. Building Height 35 ft. 26.6/ 42.5 ft** √ Front Yard Coverage 30% 11.1% √ zoning compliance n/a no residential units proposed ** The proposed height of the flat roof building reaches 42.5 feet at its highest point. Therefore the applicant is requesting a waiver of 7.5 feet from the normal limit of 35’ for a flat roofed building. Staff supports this waiver so long as it does not interfere with the goals of the Airport Approach Boundary area. In prior applications concerning this property, the applicant has submitted a request to the FAA/Burlington International Airport to address this issue. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final SUBDIVISION CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions: (A)(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the project. According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the existing public water system shall be extended so as to provide the necessary quantity of water, at acceptable pressure. The entire Meadowland Business Park has been preliminarily approved for water allocation. According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the subdivider or developer shall connect to the public sewer system or provide a community wastewater system approved by the City and the State in any subdivision where off-lot wastewater is proposed. The original subdivision received a 51,272 gallon per day preliminary sewer allocation which is still in effect. 1. The applicant shall obtain a final wastewater allocation for the subject property prior to issuance of a zoning permit. (A)(2) 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. 2. The proposed project shall adhere to standards for erosion control in Section 16.03 of the LDRs. In addition, the grading plan shall meet the standards set forth in Section 16.04 of the LDRs. (A)(3) The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. Access to this property is proposed via a 25’ wide drive from Bowdoin Street. This exceeds the minimum requirement for an entry drive and therefore conforms. Condition #3c of the September 10, 1996 subdivision approval for the business park required that “prior to site plan approval for each lot, the signal warrant analysis shall be updated. When the signal is shown to be warranted at Rte 116/Swift Street Extension, applicant shall install signal at specifications approved by the City.” (Swift Street Extension is now known as Meadowland Drive). The applicant had submitted a traffic study dated July 9, 2013 prepared by Lamoureux & Dickinson assuming a 35,000 SF manufacturing facility. The report concludes that the project would generate 26 PM Peak Hour Trip Ends. The analysis also states that acceptable levels of service at the intersection of Hinesburg Road-Meadowland Drive- Rye Street D would be maintained and that the peak hour volume warrant for signalizing the intersection would not be met. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final According to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, the current proposed 27,500 square foot manufacturing facility, which is smaller than the 35,000 sq ft facility analyzed in the traffic study, is estimated to generate 20.08 P.M. peak hour trip ends. Staff do not foresee any issues that will create unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. (A)(4) 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 subject property does not appear to contain any wetlands. (A)(5) 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 district(s) in which it is located. According to Section 6.04(A) of the Land Development Regulations, the Industrial-Open Space IO District is established to provide suitable locations for high-quality, large-lot office, light industrial and research uses in areas of the City with access to major arterial routes and Burlington International Airport. The IO District regulations and standards are intended to allow high-quality planned developments that preserve the generally open character of the district, minimize impacts on natural resources and water quality, and enhance the visual quality of approaches to the City while providing suitable locations for employment and business growth. The location and architectural design of buildings in a manner that preserves these qualities is strongly encouraged. Staff feels the proposed project is in compliance with the stated purpose of the IO District. (A)(6) 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. There is significant open space in the southern portion of the property, so staff feels this requirement is met. (A)(7) 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 Fire Chief reviewed the plans and provided the following comments in a letter dated September 9, 2013: “We have reviewed the plans for this proposed project. We had originally reviewed plans for this facility back in 2006. We have updated our review. We have the following concerns and/or recommendations. 1. Commercial structures will need fire protection plan review from the South Burlington Fire Marshal’s office to review for compliance with the Vermont Fire and Building Safety Codes. 2. Sprinklers, fire alarms, and standpipes per the VFBSC. 3. Trees, fences and floral outcroppings should be placed so as not to interfere with the CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final deployment of the aerial ladder, hoselines, portable ladders and other firefighting equipment. 4. Provide 24 hour per day off-site (central station) monitoring of all fire alarm and protection systems. 5. Provide emergency key boxe(s), location(s) to be specified by SBFD. 6. Based on the proposed size of the building and the set back distance from the road we feel that one new fire hydrant will need to be added.” The applicant should comply with the Chief’s comments. Note that the applicant acknowledges items 1 – 5 of Chief Brent’s comments, and has now also changed the utility plan to include installation of the additional fire hydrant, as requested. This is now resolved. 3. The applicant should adhere to the Fire Chief’s Comments. (A)(8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners. Director of Public Works Justin Rabidoux has no concerns with this application as proposed. The subject property contains a 20’ wide recreation path easement which straddles the northern property boundary. 4. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. (A)(9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards. The subdivision plans for the entire Meadowland Business Park show details on street utilities, lighting, and stormwater management. These have been approved by the City Engineer, so they are acceptable for the proposed project. Director of Public Works Justin Rabidoux has no concerns with this application as proposed. (A)(10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). Staff feels this proposal conforms with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. 15.18(B) Industrial-Open Space District (B)(1) Open Space and development areas shall be located so as to maximize the aesthetic values of the property in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan goal of preserving and enhancing the open character, natural areas, and scenic views of the Quadrant, while allowing carefully planned development. As noted above, the property contains significant open space in the southern part of the property. The property is also part of a previously-approved subdivision. The building height is below the maximums set forth in the Scenic View Overlay District. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final (B)(2) Open Space and any buffering shall be located in a manner that minimizes impacts on adjacent residential uses, if any. The property does not abut residential areas. 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) Relationship of Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. As noted above, staff feels the project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goals for this area. (B)(1) 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. In a September 12th email from the applicant’s representative to staff, the applicant stated: “Based on the historical practices at its existing manufacturing facility in Winooski, the applicant indicated that with its proposed 20% increase in GSF that this application proposes, that this site would require 23 spaces to meet its needs during a shift change. The operational plan is to enable up to 16 employees for each shift.” According to Table 13-1 in Section 13.01(B) of the Land Development Regulations, the 27,500 square feet of manufacturing and 16 employees per shift would require a total of 30 spaces. The plans depict a total of 23 parking spaces, two (2) of which are handicapped-accessible parking spaces. The applicant is requesting a waiver of seven (7) spaces or 24%. Plan sheet C3.0 shows that if needed, up to 33 parking spaces can actually be constructed on the property. Staff do not foresee the parking waiver being problematic. As noted, and if and when needed, additional parking can be created on site. 5. Staff feels the applicant’s request for a waiver of seven (7) parking spaces, or 24% is acceptable. Section 13.01(G) (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 plan. See below for a discussion of structures and heights. (B)(2) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. The parking areas are located to the side and rear of the building. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final (B)(3) 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. Section 3.07(D) of the Land Development Regulations, Height of Structures, reads as follows: D. Waiver of Height Requirements (1) ---- (2) R12, IA, PR, MU, C1-R12, C1-R15 C1-Auto, C1-Air, C1-LR, AR, SW, IO, C2, Mixed IC, AIR, and AIR-IND Districts. (a) The Development Review Board may approve a structure with a height in excess of the limitations set forth in Table C-2. For each foot of additional height, all front and rear setbacks shall be increased by one (1) foot and all side yard setbacks shall be increased by one half (1/2) foot. (b) For structures proposed to exceed the maximum height for structures specified in Table C-2 as part of a planned unit development or master plan, the Development Review Board may waive the requirements of this section as long as the general objectives of the applicable zoning district are met. A request for approval of a taller structure shall include the submittal of a plan(s) showing the elevations and architectural design of the structure, pre-construction grade, post-construction grade, and height of the structure. Such plan shall demonstrate that the proposed building will not detract from scenic views from adjacent public roadways and other public rights-of-way. The applicant has submitted revised photo-illustration depicting the proposed building on the landscape, as it would be seen from Hinesburg Road. The applicant has requested a waiver of 7.5 feet (beyond the 35 ft. limit to accommodate the 42.5 height of a single 20’ x 125’ bay section necessary for special equipment. The height waiver request authority is under (b) above. Note that the application also includes an elevation drawing to depict compliance with height standards. This elevation includes a different window configuration than the illustrations. The applicant confirmed in an email dated 1-31-2014 that this elevation was for intended to only show height compliance, and that the plans would be revised to note this. The proposed project is located in a business park in an area where industrial uses already exist, so Staff feel that the scale of the proposed building is compatible with existing buildings in the area, and the waiver request reasonable. As noted above, the applicant has made changes to the architectural design, in hopes of addressing concerns raised by the Board in the first hearing. 6. The Board should review the applicant’s revised elevations and confirm whether the requested height waiver is acceptable. (B)(4) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final (C)(1)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. The applicant has submitted one revised schematic elevation of the proposed building, but little detail. The photo illustration also submitted may help clarify this matter. The Board should confirm that the window elements depicted on the elevation but not the photo illustration are proposed. 7. The Board should confirm that the window elements depicted on the elevation but not the photo illustration are proposed. (C)(2) 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. The applicant has indicated the following in a September 11, 2013 email to staff: “FF [First Floor] = 357.5 + 42.5’ = 400.0 above mean sea level (MSL) (NGVD)’ for the high bay section. The high bay component is virtually identical to that included in the prior applications submitted to the City. “ The property is subject to the Hinesburg Road View Protection Zone and the Airport Approach Cone. Maximum permitted building height is 413.5’ above MSL; proposed height, with the 7.5’ height waiver sought, is 400’ above MSL. Staff feel that the building is consistent with others in the area, and that this criterion is satisfied. 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 or collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area. As the project is in a large lot, industrial area, Staff do not feel that access to adjacent property is necessary. (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. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall 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). A screened dumpster is shown on the plan. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 9 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final (D)Landscaping and Screening Requirements A landscape plan and schedule, with costs, has been submitted and meets the minimums set forth in the regulations. Pursuant to Section 13.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations, snow storage area must be specified and located in an area that will minimize the potential for run-off. Snow storage areas are shown on the plan. OTHER View Protection Zone The subject property is located within the Hinesburg Road-North Scenic View Protection Overlay District and thus subject to Section 10.03(H) of the LDRs. Specifically, no part of any structure within the zone may exceed an elevation of 393.5 feet above mean sea level, plus 5.8 feet for each 1000 feet that said part of said structure is horizontally distant from the Hinesburg Road-North View Protection Zone Base Line shown on the Scenic View Protections Overlay District Map. Based on the location of this building and its distance from the Base Line, the maximum allowable elevation based on the information above is 413.5 feet above sea level. The applicant has indicated the following in a September 11, 2013 email to Staff: “FF [First Floor] = 357.5 + 42.5’ = 400.0 above MSL (NGVD)’ for the high bay section. The high bay component is virtually identical to that included in the prior applications submitted to the City.” The proposed building complies with this provision of the SBLDR. Department of Public Works Comments, stormwater: provided to staff on September 11, 2013: I reviewed the plans for the New Manufacturing Facility located at 104 Bowdoin Street and developed by Civil Engineering Associates dated April, 2006 and last updated on 6/29/07. The plans are labeled sketch plan. I would like to offer the following review comments: 1. If the project will disturb greater than 1 acre of land it will require a construction stormwater permit (3-9020 or individual permit) from the State of Vermont DEC Stormwater Division. 2. If the project will create greater than 1 acre of impervious area it will require a stormwater permit (3-9015 or individual permit) from the State of Vermont DEC Stormwater Division. Also, this lot may be covered under an existing State issued stormwater permit (1-1269). If so, this permit will contain requirements related to management of stormwater runoff. 3. There is a snow storage area indicated to the west of the proposed building. How will snow be plowed to this location without driving on the grass? NOTE: the snow storage area is now at the end of the parking lot at the rear of the building, which addresses this prior concern. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 10 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_39_104BowdoinSt_SuperTemp_prelim_final.docprelim_final 4. In a future submission the application should provide more information on the pond outlet structure. 5. Where does water flow once it exits the pond outlet structure and DMH#1? Will it flow to CB#36, located on Bowdoin Street? Assuming it does, will the drainage infrastructure under Bowdoin street and downstream to Potash Brook be able to convey runoff from the site during the 25-year, 24-hour storm event without surcharging? 6. The DRB should include a condition requiring the applicant to regularly maintain all stormwater treatment and conveyance structures on-site. 7. The final decision should require that final hydrologic modeling be submitted to the Department of Public Works so that this information can be included in the City’s watershed model for Potash Brook. At this point, Director of Public Works Justin Rabidoux has no concerns with this application as proposed. Recommendation: If the issues raised in the original Staff comments, along with those raised by the Board in the first hearing are now satisfied, then, then unless anything new arises, it’s likely that this case can be concluded and closed on February 4.

Necessary safety precautions shall be taken to prevent blowouts and possible injury. 2. An air hose shall be connected to a tapped plug used for an air inlet. The hose will be connected to the air control equipment, which shall include valves and pressure gauges. These shall allow air to enter the sewer test line, monitor air pressure in the sewer, shut off air, and provide pressure reduction and relief. The monitoring pressure gauge shall have a range of 0-10 psi with divisions of 0.10 psi and accuracy of 0.05 psi±. 3. The air compressor and air supply shall be connected to the test line and the test section filled slowly, until a constant pressure of 4.0 psig is maintained. 4. A pressure above 3.0 psig shall be maintained for at least five minutes to allow the temperature to stabilize. A check for leaks shall be made and if any are found, the pressure shall be released and the fitting replaced or repaired. 5. After the stabilization period, the pressure shall be adjusted to 3.5 psig and the air supply disconnected. 6. Measure and record the time interval for the test line pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig. 7. If the groundwater table is above the pipe, increase above test pressures 0.5 psig for each foot the groundwater is above the invert of the pipe. 8. The requirements of this specification shall be considered satisfied if the time required in seconds for the pressure to decrease from 3.5 to 2.5 psi greater than the average back pressure of any groundwater that may submerge the pipe is not less than that computed according to the following table: Minimum Test Time for Various Pipe Sizes Diameter (Inches) Time (Sec./100 Ft.) 4 18 6 45 8 75 10 90 12 1103.05 MANHOLES A. The excavation shall be to the depth indicated on the plans or ordered by the Engineer, and carefully shaped and graded. B.

Channels, inverts and floor areas for sewer manholes shall be constructed of brick and mortar or concrete. Inverts shall have the exact shape of the sewer to which they are connected and any change in size or direction shall be gradual and even. All construction of sewer manholes must be carried out to insure watertight work. D. The required courses of brick shall be placed on top of the concrete to the elevation indicated on the plans or ordered by the Engineer. Brick shall be laid in an appropriate manner by a competent mason. After the bricks are laid, the joints on the inside of the brick masonry shall be neatly pointed. The outside surface of the brick shall be covered with mortar of the same quality as used for laying the bricks so that a reasonably smooth surface is obtained. E. The cast iron frame shall be set as indicated on the plans in a full mortar bed. The grade or cover shall be properly placed in the frame.3.06 MANHOLE TESTING A. Manholes shall be tested separately by one of the following two procedures: 1. Exfiltration Leakage Test: All pipes and other openings into the manhole shall be suitably plugged and the plugs braced to prevent blowout. The manhole shall then be filled with water to the top of the cone section. A period of time may be permitted, if the Contractor so wishes, to allow for absorption. At the end of this period, the manhole shall be refilled to the top of the cone, if necessary, and the measuring time of at least four hours begun. At the end of the test period, the manhole shall be refilled to the top of the cone, measuring the volume of water added. This amount shall be converted to gallons per vertical foot depth for 24 hours. The leakage for each manhole shall not exceed one gallon/vertical foot/day. If leakage exceeds the allowable rate, repairs shall be made as approved by the Engineer and the manhole retested. If the Contractor elects to backfill prior to testing, the testing shall be at his own risk, and it shall be incumbent upon the Contractor to determine the reason for any failure of the test. No adjustment in the leakage allowance will be made for unknown causes such as leaking plugs, absorption, etc. It will be assumed that all loss of water during the test is a result of leaks through the joints or through the concrete. Furthermore, the Contractor shall take any steps necessary to assure the Engineer that the water table is below the bottom of the manhole throughout the test. 2. Vacuum Test: This method of testing manholes for leakage involves the use of a device for sealing the top of the manhole cone section and pumping the air out of the manhole, creating a vacuum and holding this vacuum for a prescribed period of time. The procedure for this test is as follows: a. All lifting holes and exterior joints shall be filled and pointed with an approved non-shrinking mortar. The completed manhole shall not be backfilled prior to testing. Manholes which have been backfilled shall be excavated to expose the entire exterior prior to vacuum testing or the manhole shall be tested for leakage by means of the exfiltration leakage test. b. All pipes and other openings into the manhole shall be suitably plugged in a manner to prevent displacement. c. A plate with an inflatable rubber ring the size of the top of the manhole shall be installed by inflating the ring with air to pressure adequate to prevent leakage of air between the rubber ring and the manhole wall. d. Air shall then be pumped out of the manhole through an opening in the plate until a vacuum is created inside of the manhole equal to 10 inches of mercury on an approved vacuum gauge. The removal of air shall then be stopped and the test begun. e. The manhole shall pass this test if the vacuum holds at 10" Hg or drops no lower than 9" Hg within the following times: Time Depth of 4' Manhole Minutes Seconds 0' - 10' 2 0 10' - 15' 2 30 15' - 20' 3 0 20' - 25' 3 30 f. If the vacuum drop exceeds 1" Hg during the specified time periods, the manhole shall be resealed and Steps 2 through 5 above repeated until the vacuum holds for the specified time. g. After the manhole passes the vacuum test, it shall be backfilled carefully so that no leaks are created. If the manhole is disturbed in any way during backfill, it shall again be vacuum tested according to Steps 1 through 5 above. If the manhole fails the vacuum test, the Contractor shall test the manhole using the manhole exfiltration test. h. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a written log of each manhole leakage test result. i. Manholes shall be tested and accepted prior to building manhole inverts.3.07 PRESSURE PIPE TESTING A. General: All force mains shall pass the hydrostatic pressure test and leakage test described herein. Prior to testing, all anchors and braces shall be installed. All concrete thrust blocks and restraints shall be in place and cured at least seven days. All buried pipe shall be backfilled. Suitable test plugs shall be installed and air release valves shall be installed at the high points. B. Hydrostatic Test: The following procedure shall be used: 1. All air release valves shall be opened and the pipe shall be filled with water at a rate not to exceed the venting capacity of the air release valves. 2. The water pressure shall be raised to 150 percent of the designed operating pressure or 60 psi minimum at the highest point. 3. Failure to hold the designated pressure within 5 psi of the specified test pressure for the two hour period constitutes a failure of the section tested. C. Leakage Test: The following procedure shall be used: 1. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into the pipe being tested to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the specified test pressure. 2. No pipe installation shall be accepted if the leakage is greater than that determined by the following formula: L=ND(P)^0.5 7,400 Whichever is less L=SD(P)^0.5 133,100 S = Length of Pipe Testing L = Allowable Leakage in Gal/Hr D = Nominal Diameter of Pipe (") P = Average Test Pressure (psi) N = Number of Joints in the Pipeline Tested All testing shall be conducted in accordance with AWWA C600-87 or latest revision.

Unknown No change ♠ Pre-existing non-complying √ Zoning compliance CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 14.10(E) of the Land Development Regulations, the proposed conditional use shall meet the following standards: 1. The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the planned character of the area as defined by the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Staff suggest the proposed use is consistent with the planned character of the area, as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the proposed use is located. According to Section 4.08(A) of the Land Development Regulations, the QCP Zoning District is formed in order to encourage residential use at densities and setbacks that are compatible with the existing character of the Queen City Park neighborhood. It is designed to promote the area’s historic development pattern of smaller lots and reduced setbacks. This district also encourages the conversation of seasonal homes to year round residences. Other than enhancement with an exterior stairway and expanded parking, the existing primary use as a single family home is not changing; therefore, staff feels the proposed use conforms with the purposes of the district. Adding an accessory apartment continues the residential use of the property; functionally no different than the multi bedroom home that exists today. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 3. The Development Review Board must find that the proposed uses will not adversely affect the following: (a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities. The proposed accessory apartment will not adversely affect municipal services. (b) The planned character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses. The proposed accessory apartment is consistent with the planned character of the area, as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. (c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity. The proposed accessory apartment will not affect traffic in the vicinity any more than the multi bedroom home that exists today. (d) Bylaws in effect. Except where the DRB has discretionary authority noted above, the property is in compliance with the bylaws in effect, or is existing nonconforming. (e) Utilization of renewable energy resources. The proposed alteration will not impact adversely the abutting property owner’s access to solar energy. ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNITS Pursuant to Section 3.10(E) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, in any district where a single- family residence is a principal permitted use, one (1) accessory residential unit within or attached to a primary single-family residence or within an existing, permitted accessory structure may be permitted by the DRB in accordance with Article 14, Site Plan Review, and the following additional criteria: 1) Floor space of the accessory residential unit shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total habitable area of the single-family dwelling unit. According to the applicant, the total habitable area of the single family dwelling unit as it exists today is 1850 sq. ft.. As proposed, the accessory residential unit will use 400 sq. ft. of that space, or 21.6% of the habitable area of the principal dwelling. The application conforms with this limitation. 2) The principal dwelling shall be owner occupied. The application is silent on whether the primary residence will be owner occupied. As this is required, the Board should seek sworn testimony on this point from the owner/applicant in the hearing. 3) The accessory dwelling shall be an efficiency or one-bedroom unit. The proposed accessory dwelling is a one-bedroom unit. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 4) Adequate wastewater capacity is available to service the accessory unit, as demonstrated by the issuance of a Wastewater Allocation or on-site wastewater permit pursuant to the South Burlington Ordinance regulating the use of public and private sanitary sewage and stormwater systems. The applicant must obtain wastewater approval prior to issuance of a zoning permit. Staff are unaware of any reasons this should be a problem. 5) Two additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot, either in a garage or a driveway, or not in any areas required to meet coverage limitations, or any front yard other than a driveway, required by these Regulations. As illustrated on the site plan, these are provided. 6) If occupancy of the unit is to be restricted in the deed of the single-family home to a disabled person, no additional off-street parking is required. No such deed restrictions are proposed. This criterion does not apply. 7) A zoning permit shall be required for the accessory residential unit. A zoning permit is required.

Project Summary & Recent Updates: The sketch plan was reviewed in January, 2012, and again in March of 2013. The project has been redesigned in order to address various questions and concerns raised before. These changes and essential details are described in a comprehensive narrative from Civil Engineering Associates, dated May 23, 2013. The Board has held a public hearing on September 3, 2013, October 15, 2013, December 17, 2013, and January 21, 2014. In a letter dated January 24, 2014, the applicant has outlined elements of the project that have changed since the last review (enclosed). In brief: • Revised Cottage Circle Road layout • Implementation of remaining outstanding items outlined in DPW staff comments COMMENTS Administrative Officer Ray Belair, Director of Planning & Zoning Paul Conner, and Planner Temporary Assistant Lee Krohn, AICP (“Staff”) have reviewed these new submittals and offer the following comments; these are divided into two main parts: Master Plan and Preliminary Plat. As you’ll see, Staff believe that the Master Plan portion of the hearing can be held and concluded, while the Preliminary Plat review can be held but may well need to be continued. A draft Master Plan decision will be provided to the Board in advance of the meeting. Numbered items for the Board’s attention are in red. Waiver Requests As described at the January 21, 2014 hearing, the applicant has submitted the following waiver requests. These are each reviewed within these staff notes.

CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING Staff has identified a handful of additional waiver requests. These are identified within the staff notes and called to the DRB’s attention below as numbered items. 15.07 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations govern Master Plan Review and Approval The applicant has submitted a full set of master plans (MP1 – MP4, detailing proposed conditions, existing conditions, grading and drainage, and overall utilities, and including survey of the property) This application requires master plan review, in proposing more than ten dwelling units within the Southeast Quadrant district of the City. As intended, the master plans submitted are clear and detailed, but are primarily at a conceptual level, in order to illustrate the general approach to the property. These show road rights of way, areas for development (residential, mixed use/commercial, park/open space, stormwater management…); grading and drainage; and utility plans. This consolidated review will provide all of the intended and necessary information for both review. It will be important to keep any master plan approval at that conceptual level, and save the detail for a subsequent decision on the preliminary plat application. Otherwise, if too much detail is included in a master plan approval, then any changes made, now or later, in preliminary and final plat review would then also require that the master plan be amended. Master Plan requires that the Board establish “threshold” figures for several criteria. These criteria are then used to determine whether a Master Plan amendment is required. Proposed “threshold” figures are shown below: 1. Total FAR or number of residential dwelling units for the property: 52 residential units and 20,000 square feet of non-residential development. 2. Total site coverage of the property subject to the master plan: Maximum total site coverage of 30% 3. Location, layout, capacity or number of collector roadways on the property: As depicted on the approved plans, and with the following deemed to be collector roadways: “Swift Street Extension” (east-west roadway at north end of PUD) and the eastern leg of “Rye Circle” (north-south roadway from Swift Street Extension to the connector to Fox Run Lane). 4. Land development proposed in any area previously identified as permanent open space: As depicted on the approved plans, and with the following deemed to be “permanent open space”: the 2.54 acre park/open space and the 0.80 detention basin. 5. A change that will result in an increase in the number of PM peak hour vehicle trip ends projected for total buildout: 107 PM peak hour trip ends. Under Master Plan, the Board is also to establish the levels of review required for the project. Staff recommends the following, previously discussed and reviewed by the Board: CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING • In the VC- Sub-District, final site plan and any applicable design review requirement only shall be required for lots proposed for development with a single principal structure. • In the NR Sub-District, any subsequent approval to the initial preliminary and final plat shall require only final plat approval. • Future additions of decks and porches to any family dwelling units within an approved lot or footprint lot belonging to that unit shall require only the issuance of a zoning permit. DENSITY and TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS The base density of the parcel generated by the land at 1.2 units per acre, based on 18.01 acres, is 21 units. Up to 60 units could be permitted under Chapter 9 of the LDRs in the Neighborhood Residential sub-district under the Transfer of Development Rights program. Similarly, up to 21 units could be permitted in the Village Commercial sub-district with a Transfer of Development Rights. No dwelling units are proposed in the VC district, only commercial buildings. The applicant proposes 52 new dwelling units, for a proposed density of approximately 2.9 units per acre. This requires 31 transferable development rights (52 proposed – 21 ‘base level’ = 31). As in other, similar cases, the Board will need the applicant to submit legal documents pertaining to options for purchase of development rights for review by the City Attorney prior to final plat approval. The applicant must also submit legal documents showing clear ownership of all of the remaining 31 development rights to the City Attorney for approval prior to issuance of zoning permits for any units beyond the 21 allowed by the property’s inherent, base level density. DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS The subject parcels total 18.01 acres. Table 1. Dimensional Requirements SEQ-VC Zoning District Required Proposed * Min. Lot Size 40,000 SF See waiver request √ Max.

According to Section 15.13(B)(1) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the existing public utility system shall be extended to provide the necessary quantity of water, at an acceptable pressure, to the proposed dwelling units. According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the subdivider or developer shall connect to the public sewer system or provide a community wastewater system approved by the City and the State in any subdivision where off-lot wastewater is proposed. The project is proposed to be served by gravity sewer mains flowing to the existing collection system located on Oak Creek Drive. A looped water distribution system is proposed to service the project. Storm drainage will be collected in an enclosed drainage system within the local streets and will be directed to a stormwater management facility located at the low point in the southwest corner of the property. 1. The applicant shall receive preliminary wastewater allocation prior to final plat approval. 2. The applicant shall receive final wastewater allocation prior to issuance of any zoning permits (A)(2) 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. 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. The applicant has submitted an erosion control and grading plan as part of the preliminary plat. See the Director of Public Works’ notes within the DPW consolidated comments below. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (A)(3) The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. Access is proposed via a public street connection to Hinesburg Road as well as to the existing public road of Fox Run Lane. A traffic study dated May 21, 2013 was prepared by Lamoureux & Dickinson. The Director of Public Works has reviewed the plans and provides notes in the consolidated Public Works comments below. The study projects that the proposed development is expected to generate 107 pm peak vehicle trip ends (using Land Use Codes 210 and 230 for the single family and condominium units, respectively and Land Codes 710 and 710 for general office and medical office respectively). The study concludes that acceptable levels of service will be maintained at nearby intersections and that peak hour volume will not reach levels sufficient to warrant a signalized intersection at the intersection of VT- 116/Meadowlands Drive/ Street D. The connection on Hinesburg Road is directly across from Meadowland Drive. This intersection had previously been studied as part of the Meadowland Drive Development and there are established thresholds for when traffic improvements are to be made, including signalizing the intersection and dedicated turn lanes. This development should review that mandate and incorporate the vehicle trip ends generated within into the study (as you will see below, the applicant’s engineer states that this was done). If the trips generated as a result of this proposal exceed those limited by the Meadowland Drive development, then this applicant shall be responsible for the necessary improvements. As noted above, the applicant has submitted a traffic study for this project. As an addendum to that study, please see below questions raised by Staff, and answers thereto from the applicant’s traffic engineer, Roger Dickinson, seeking to address these concerns in advance of this hearing for benefit of all parties. From: Lee Krohn Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 1:37 PM To: roger@ldengineering.com Subject: Rye Associates Hi, Roger, I have reviewed your traffic study for the project, and wonder: 1. Did you review/take into account prior approvals and conditions related to traffic for Meadowland Drive development(s)? Apparently, there may be relevant issues and information from that which may affect matters here relative to cumulative impacts of new/additional traffic. Yes; the original traffic study for the Meadowland Drive development was reviewed in 1996 by VTrans. Their traffic study review letter, dated September 6, 1996, included the following conditions (in italics): "If the access intersection with VT 116 is determined to warrant a separate left turn lane sometime in the future, then the proposed design of the left turn lane will need to be brought CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING up to today's standards (i.e., not to have a bypass lane, but a separate left turn lane, especially if signalization is contemplated). This issue should be addressed as soon as additional development within the complex is contemplated." The bypass left-turn lane in the southbound direction on VT 116 was subsequently upgraded to the separate left-turn lane that now exists. I don't have the exact date that occurred. "In conclusion, you should provide us with an updated traffic study whenever you intend to develop an individual lot within the project complex. The information we need should include the following: - For signal warrant analysis: You need to provide at least a 12-hour turning movement (to include the 0600-1800 hours at a minimum) showing distribution of all moves within the intersection. Volumes should be factored to reflect the average weekday condition. - For LOS analyses and geometric improvements: You need a minimum AM (0700-0900) and PM (1500-1800) peak periods surveyed. The analysis should use DHV's." We have performed the above requested signal warrant and LOS analyses for various projects within Meadowland Business Park since 2002. Most recently in July 2013 for Lot 5 at 66 Bowdoin St. That analysis also included "other development" traffic from the Rye Associates development and a new building on Lot 6 proposed by Super-Temp. 2. Can you please help me understand the difference/distinction between the two LOS tables toward the end of your report (pages 3 & 4). They are quite similar, but slightly different; and each must have unique meaning. Table 3 includes two intersections, but got split between pages 3 and 4. At the bottom of pg. 3 are the results for the northerly VT 116/Meadowland Drive/Rye Associates Street D intersection. At the top of pg. 4 are the results for the southerly VT 116/Fox Run Lane/Mansfield View Lane intersection. Fox Run Lane being located immediately south of the Rye Development. Street B connects with Fox Run Lane. 3. Finally, and not unique to this report or project, I will appreciate learning how adding this much new commercial and residential development will create virtually no change in LOS at this intersection, and at most only one additional second of delay for one turning movement, when comparing the 'build' and 'no build' conditions. If you look closely as the WB LT/TH lanes exiting Meadowland Drive at the northerly VT 116/Meadowland Drive/Rye Associates Street D intersection, the delays for that lane increases by 6 seconds (19 to 25). Also, while Street D's LOS D rating meets VTrans' LOS Policy for an unsignalized intersection, its delay of 29 seconds is not insignificant. That being said, this development benefits from having two access points onto VT Route 116; Street D to the north and Fox Run Lane to the south. Turning movements entering and exiting the Rye Associates development will gravitate towards the access in the direction that they are traveling to/from. This helps minimize the impact on future delays and LOS. The connection to Fox Run Lane was anticipated with the development of Oak Creek. The north-south road to connect to Fox Run Lane is shown on the Official Map for South Burlington for future road CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 9 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING connections. Finally, Staff supports the layout which calls for a short road connection with a jog, which enables the connection without providing a long straight road which would have the potential to encourage higher speeds. The road now named Swift Street Extension on the plans is also on the official map to connect to the property to the west. At sketch plan review, the Recreation Path Committee had reviewed the plans and provided comments; it was noted then that their comments had been incorporated into the plans. This should be confirmed now at this stage of review. (A)(4) 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. Wetlands issues have been addressed in a report prepared by Gilman and Briggs environmental. This report appears to address relevant criteria in the LDRs. The applicant is seeking approval to impact wetlands as outlined in the Gilman and Briggs report dated May 3, 2013. The Board therefore reviews the request pursuant to section 12.02 of the Land Development Regulations, excepted herein: 12.02(E) Standards for Wetlands Protection (1) Consistent with the purposes of this Section, encroachment into wetlands and buffer areas is generally discouraged. (2) Encroachment into Class II wetlands is permitted by the City only in conjunction with issuance of a Conditional Use Determination (CUD) by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and positive findings by the DRB pursuant to the criteria in (3) below. (3) Encroachment into Class II wetland buffers, Class III wetlands and Class III wetland buffers, may be permitted by the DRB upon finding that the proposed project’s overall development, erosion control, stormwater treatment system, provisions for stream buffering, and landscaping plan achieve the following standards for wetland protection: (a) The encroachment(s) will not adversely affect the ability of the property to carry or store flood waters adequately; (b) The encroachment(s) will not adversely affect the ability of the proposed stormwater treatment system to reduce sedimentation according to state standards; (c) The impact of the encroachment(s) on the specific wetland functions and values identified in the field delineation and wetland report is minimized and/or offset by appropriate landscaping, stormwater treatment, stream buffering, and/or other mitigation measures. The Gilman and Briggs report concludes that all wetlands on the site are Class III and addresses each of the criteria under #3 above. The applicant is seeking to directly impact a handful of isolated wetlands around the site, and to reduce the 50’ buffer to 25’ surrounding the central complex of class III wetlands depicted CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 10 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING within the proposed park/ open space area. Staff and the Board have reviewed the proposed plans and have previously indicated that the proposed impacts and buffer reductions to be acceptable. Section 9.06(B)(5) States that “Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape.” Possibilities include a line of planted cedars, split rail fencing, or other physical barrier between what is to be the grassed lawn area and the more sensitive wetland buffer. 3. Plans should be provide suitable landscaping and/or fencing to protect wetland areas. Section 9.06(B((3) states that “a plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant.” Pursuant to the above, staff recommends the following conditions apply to the Master Plan and preliminary plats: 4. There shall be no use of herbicides or pesticides, nor non-organic fertilizers, within the wetlands or associated 50 foot buffers. This shall be reflected in the association documents which shall be reviewed by the City Attorney prior to issuance of a zoning permit for the first building on the property. 5. There shall be no mowing within 50 feet of the wetlands on the property. Brush-hogging shall be allowed no more than three (3) times per year. This shall be reflected in the association documents which shall be reviewed by the City Attorney prior to issuance of a zoning permit for the first building on the property. (A)(5) 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 district(s) in which it is located. Pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Land Development Regulations, the Southeast Quadrant District (SEQ) is hereby formed in order to encourage open space preservation, scenic view and natural resource protection, wildlife habitat preservation, continued agricultural use, and well as planned residential use in the largely undeveloped area of the City known as the Southeast Quadrant. The open character and scenic views offered in this area have long been recognized as very special and unique resources in the City and worthy of protection. The location and clustering of buildings and lots in a manner that in the judgment of the Development Review Board will best preserve the open space character of this area shall be encouraged. The Board has discussed the project at several meetings and has expressed that the project is consistent with this criteria. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 11 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (A)(6) 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. The Board has discussed this item at previous meeting and has expressed comfort with the project’s consistency with this standard. The homes are clustered closely and a continuous corridor of open space is present. Furthermore, the largest portion of the wetland and undeveloped portion of the site is immediately adjacent to a wetland/buffer area on the adjoining development to the south. See additional detail under SEQ standards. (A)(7) 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 reviewed the plans and provided comments on August 13, 2013 as follows: We have reviewed the plans for this proposed development. It looks like a pretty straight forward proposal but we have the following concerns and/or recommendations. 1. Turning radii and road widths within this development should be sized to allow for parking, set-up and operation fire apparatus. 2. There appears to be no hydrants adjacent to the “cottage units” off of Street D. 3. Trees, fences and floral outcroppings should be placed so as not to interfere with the deployment of the aerial ladder, hoselines, portable ladders and other firefighting equipment. 4. Commercial structures and multifamily units will need fire protection plan review from the South Burlington Fire Marshal’s office to review for compliance with the Vermont Fire and Building Safety Codes. Staff will confirm with the applicant prior to the meeting as to whether these initial comments have been addressed. 6. The applicant should confirm with the Fire Chief that the design of “Cottage Circle” and any other changes, are acceptable. (A)(8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners. (A)(9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards. Below are the consolidated comments from Public Works and the applicant’s responses (in bold or in brackets), from emails dated January 6 and January 7, 2014: 1. This project is located in the Potash Brook watershed, which is listed as stormwater impaired by the State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR). Also, the project proposes to create greater than 1 acre of impervious area. It will therefore require a stormwater permit from the CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 12 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Stormwater Division. Obtaining this permit should be a condition of approval for the project. Acknowledged and Acceptable provided that the condition reads that this permit be acquired prior to the commencement of construction. 2. The plans indicate that the project will disturb greater than 1 acre of land. Therefore, this project will need to obtain and comply with a construction stormwater permit (3-9020 or individual permit) from the Vermont DEC Stormwater Division. Obtaining this permit should be a condition of approval for the project. Acknowledged and Acceptable provided that the condition reads that this permit be acquired prior to the commencement of construction. 3. Provide hydrologic modeling for the project so that potential impacts on downstream structures can be evaluated. Providing the actual HydroCAD files would facilitate review by DPW staff. Please find attached the HydroCad modeling of the watershed characteristics. 4. Does the proposed drainage network convey the 25 year, 24 hour storm event without surcharging? The proposed stormwater management pond and the facilities downstream of the pond are design to pass the 100-year design storm. Detailed information on the infrastructure upstream will be forwarded shortly. 5. Plans have been revised so that water leaving the proposed detention pond on lot #31 no longer enters the existing drainage system north of Fox Run Lane. Water leaving the proposed pond now flows to Potash Brook via a new ~900’ swale. Flow to Potash Brook via the new swale is preferable to allowing this water to flow into the existing drainage system on Fox Run Lane. Acknowledged. 6. The proposed detention basin on lot #5 discharges water into the existing closed drainage system under Oak Creek Drive. Adjacent to the proposed detention basin, the plans show an existing 18” culvert beneath Fox Run Lane that leads to an open channel along VT Route 116. Rather than send water to the closed drainage system (and eventually through an existing detention pond located downstream), could this water instead be discharged to the ditch along VT Route 116 via the existing 18” culvert? Discharge in this manner would be the City’s preference. This would be redirecting existing stormwater from the City collection system to the State of Vermont’s infrastructure on Route 116. It is our recent experience that VTrans will not allow nor will accept any increases in peak flows (for the 50-year design storm or smaller) to their stormwater infrastructure. Therefore this is not a likely outcome. 7. Confirm that the swale to the rear of lots 9-14 will be sufficiently graded to prevent water from flowing onto adjacent properties to the south. Similar to the pond and discharge swale from the pond, this swale has also been designed to accommodate the 100-year storm event. 8. Backflow preventers must be installed on all foundation drains. Yes, the new plans show this requirement. 9. The pump station and detention basin on lot #31 must have an appropriate maintenance access drive identified on the plans. Yes, these facilities will have the necessary means of access. Please advise on the width requirements. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 13 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 10. In a future submission, include landscaping plans for the detention basin on lot #31. Acknowledged. 11. Provide a map showing the drainage area to each proposed stormwater treatment practice. This pre and post development plans of the site are attached. 12. Please confirm that the proposed stormwater treatment pond located on lot #31 and the dry detention basin in the park will accept runoff from only residential properties. Past resolutions by the South Burlington City Council indicate that the “The City shall accept conveyance of and assume responsibility for the following types of Regulated Private Systems that serve exclusively residential development in the City:” (emphasis added). It appears that the proposed detention pond on lot #31 and the proposed dry detention basin in the park would be eligible for City take over, but the proposed detention pond on lot #5 would not. Stormwater runoff from the commercial lots on the east side of the project site have been graded to that all runoff from these properties will be directed to their own dedicated stormwater management facility. No commercial runoff is directed into the proposed stormwater treatment pond located on lot #31 and the dry detention basin in the park. 13. The proposed development shows wetlands on the project site. Is the applicant seeking wetland permit coverage from the State of Vermont or ACOE? Section 12.02 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations (LDRs) contains provisions to protect wetlands. The applicant should provide more information on the wetlands contained on the site so that any potential impacts can be evaluated pursuant to the regulations in the LDRs. Attached is the description of the wetlands and the impacts to their functions and values. 14. The DRB should include a condition requiring the applicant to regularly maintain all stormwater treatment and conveyance structures on-site. Acknowledged and Acceptable. 15.

Following review by the Director of Public Works, the Board finds the request acceptable. The applicant should confirm with the Fire Chief and Public Works Director that the design of “Cottage Circle”, recently added to the plans, is acceptable. 7. The applicant should confirm with the Public Works Director that the design of “Cottage Circle”, recently added to the plans, and any other changes, are acceptable. The applicant has sought a waiver for PUD overall lot coverage to exclude recreation paths to be dedicated to the City. The Board finds the request acceptable. (A)(10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). The Board has previously reviewed the application and indicated that the plans are consistent with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site plan approval. Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 15 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (A) Relationship of the Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. The Board has previously reviewed the application and indicated that the plans are consistent with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. (B)(1) 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 and the Board worked with the applicant at the sketch plan level to ensure suitable and safe pedestrian movement throughout the PUD. The plans include a complete sidewalk loop on the entire development of the road, safe crosswalks, and a paved recreation path. The plans also provide provisions for the adjacent neighborhood to access the recreation path, sidewalk network, and park via a sidewalk along B Street. (B)(2) Parking (a) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. (b) The Development Review Board may approve parking between a public street and one or more buildings if the Board finds that one or more of the following criteria are met. The Board shall approve only the minimum necessary to overcome the conditions below. (i) The parking area is necessary to meet minimum requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act; (ii) The parking area will serve a single or two-family home; (iii) The lot has unique site conditions such as a utility easement or unstable soils that allow for parking, but not a building, to be located adjacent to the public street; (iv) The lot contains one or more existing buildings that are to be re-used and parking needs cannot be accommodated to the rear and sides of the existing building(s); or, (v) The principal use of the lot is for public recreation. (c) Where more than one building exists or is proposed on a lot, the total width of all proposed parking areas that are both to the side of a building and between the front lot line and the building line of the building on the lot that is closest to the public street shall not exceed one-half of the total building width of all buildings on the lot that are located adjacent to the public street. Buildings separated from the front lot line by parking approved pursuant to 14.06(C)(2)(b) shall be considered adjacent to the public street. Buildings separated from the front lot line by any other parking areas shall not be considered adjacent to the public street. (d) The DRB shall require that the majority of the parking on through lots and corner lots be located between the building(s) and the side yards or between the building and the front yard adjacent to the public street with the highest average daily volume of CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING traffic. Where the rear yard of a lot abuts an Interstate or its interchanges, the majority of parking shall be located between the building and the side yards or between the building and the yard that is adjacent to the Interstate. All parking on the preliminary plat and master plan complies with the standards above. Parking for the single family homes and Lot 7 cottage units is provided onsite as well as on-street parking limited to one side of the street. Parking for the lot 8 cottage units is provided by a shared carport and surface lot. Parking for the 16 quad-plex units is proposed via garages located to the rear of the four quad-plex buildings. The applicant is proposing 13 parking spaces for Lot 8, Cottage units. This represents a 1-space, or 7.2% waiver request. The applicant notes that these units will be smaller than average single family homes. Staff feels this request is acceptable. 8. The Board should confirm that a one (1) space, 7.2% parking waiver for lot 8 is acceptable. Parking for the Commercial lots is discussed under the SEQ-VC standards below. (B)(3) 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 heights of all buildings are within the limits of the district and characteristic of typical and nearby single and two-family dwellings. (B)(4) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. 9. Newly installed utility services shall be underground. (C)(1) 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. The design of buildings is discussed in greater detail in a discussion of the specific Southeast Quadrant design standards found elsewhere in this report. (C)(2) 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. The design of buildings is discussed in greater detail in a discussion of the specific Southeast Quadrant design standards found elsewhere in this report. Site plan applications shall meet the following specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations: (A) The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 17 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 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. Access is proposed via a public street connection to Hinesburg Road, to the property to the east, and to the existing public road of Fox Run Lane. The plans are also consistent with the Official Map. (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 previously stated that the 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). Trash disposal and recycling facilities for the single family home lots and cottage homes on lot 7 and 8 will be addressed individually. The plans indicate a screened dumpster enclosure to the rear of the lot 6 four-plexes. The plans do not indicate a location for dumpsters on Commercial Lot #1, which is seeking preliminary plat approval. 10. The applicant should indicate how trash and recycling will be addressed for Commercial Lot #1. Plans for commercials lots 2-5 should indicate dumpster locations when a site plan is submitted. (D) Landscaping and Screening Requirements Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening shall be required for all uses subject to planned unit development review. The minimum landscape requirement for this project is determined by Table 13-9 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. The Board has previously reviewed landscaping plans for all portions of the PUD save for Commercial lots 2- 5 (to be provided as part of subsequent applications). Staff received revised landscaping/planting plans, lists, and cost schedules for the overall project on January 28th. These documents are included in your packet, but for simplicity and clarity, are summarized below: Street trees: $94,592 Central open space: $12,436 Cottage units w/ garages: $28,776 (meets min. requirement based on est. construction cost) Cottage units w/o garages: $25,335 (meets min. requirement based on est. construction cost) CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 18 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING Fourplex buildings: $52,519 (meets min. requirement based on est. construction cost) Professional building: $16,784 (meets min. requirement based on est. construction cost) We have asked the City Arborist to review these latest planting plans and species lists, and he stated that, “I spoke with Ray Belair last week and Ok'd the revised plans. Prior to that, I spoke with Mike Lawrence and recommended some species changes. While I haven't seen the species changes on the plans, I'm sure Mike has adequately addressed them as his plans generally only require minor adjustments when he submits them. Please let me know if there is anything specific you wish me to comment on or if you have any questions.” Craig Lambert, South Burlington City Arborist We will also inquire of the landscape architect about the latest plans, for we received plans L1 and L2, and parts of these direct us to plans L3, L4, and L5 which were not submitted today. Perhaps these have not changed since prior submittals. I have also asked for clarity on what has changed from before. 11. Revised complete landscaping plans shall be provided with the final plat submittal and reviewed by the City Arborist for all parts of the PUD except Commercial Lots 2-5. E911 Addresses & Street Names The applicant shall submit E911 addresses for the proposed project, in conformance with the E911 addressing standards, with the final plat application. The applicant shall seek approval of any proposed new street names from the Planning Commission and submit with the final plat application. Southeast Quadrant District This proposed subdivision is located in the southeast quadrant district. Therefore it is subject to the provisions of Section 9 of the SBLDR. 9.06 Dimensional and Design Requirements Applicable to All Sub-Districts The following standards shall apply to development and improvements within the entire SEQ: A. Height. (1) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-NRP, SEQ-NRT, or SEQ-NR sub-district shall not exceed forty-five feet (45’); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures in these sub-districts. (2) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-VR or SEQ-VC sub-district shall not exceed fifty feet (50’); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures in these sub-districts. Standards from Table C-2, Dimensional Standards Applicable in All District also apply. This criterion will be evaluated at subsequent levels of review for the project. B. Open Space and Resource Protection. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 19 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels The applicant proposes a 2.54 acre park / open space to be dedicated to the City. It is centrally located and provides access to residents within the proposed project and to adjacent neighborhoods. Recreation path easements, further, are provided to ensure ease of access from adjoining parcels. See additional detail below. (2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the Regulating Plan for the applicable sub-district allowing carefully planned development at the average densities provided in this bylaw. The average density remains below that which is permitted in the sub-district, and the location of development areas are consistent with the standards. The requested waivers are discussed below. The Board has previously review this criteria and expressed general comfort. (3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant. See below under Parks. (4) Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review Board may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. See above under Planned Unit Development Standards. (5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape. Chain link fencing other than for agricultural purposes shall be prohibited within PUDs; the use of split rail or other fencing made of natural materials is encouraged. See above under Planned Unit Development Standards. C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing agricultural operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community-supported agriculture. As noted above, the Master Plan proposes a central park / open space to be dedicated to the city. This may include some opportunities for small scale agriculture such as community gardens. The applicant is also proposing a garden area for use by the four four-plexes. In addition, the total number of housing units proposed for the project would require the use of CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 20 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING Transferable Development Rights, the use of which would conserve open spaces elsewhere in the Southeast Quadrant. D. Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review Board that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development, the location of buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned public facilities as depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths, streets, park land, schools, and sewer and water facilities. (2) Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. (3) Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. (4) The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire protection can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to, minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants. E. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles between neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants. (1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. (2) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. (3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D)(4) related to connections between adjacent streets and neighborhoods shall apply. The proposed project is consistent with the Official Map. A network of recreation paths and sidewalks are proposed linking the project east-west and north-south along each new street. See above under Planned Unit Development Standards and DPW comments for additional information. D. Parks Design and Development. (1) General standards. The SEQ has an existing large community park, the Dorset Street Park Complex. Parks in the SEQ may be programmed as neighborhood parks or mini-parks as defined in CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 21 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING the Comprehensive Plan. Mini parks in the SEQ should be a minimum of 10,000 square feet, with programming approved by the South Burlington Recreation Department. Such parks are to be located through the neighborhoods in order to provide a car-free destination for children and adults alike, and to enhance each neighborhood’s quality of life. They shall be knitted into the neighborhood fabric as a focal point in the neighborhood, to add vitality and allow for greater surveillance by surrounding homes, local streets and visitors. Each park should be accessible by vehicle, foot, and bicycle and there should be a park within a quarter-mile of every home. (2) Specific Standards. The following park development guidelines are applicable in the SEQ- NRT, SEQ-NR, SEQ-VR, and SEQ-VC districts: (a) Distribution and Amount of Parks: (i) A range of parks and open space should be distributed through the SEQ to meet a variety of needs including children’s play, passive enjoyment of the outdoors, and active recreation. (ii) Parks should serve as the focus for neighborhoods and be located at the heart of residential areas, served by public streets and fronted by development. (iii) Parks should be provided at a rate of 7.5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 population per the South Burlington Capital Budget and Program. (iv) A neighborhood or mini park of 10,000 square feet or more should be provided within a one-quarter mile walk of every home not so served by an existing City park or other publicly-owned developed recreation area. (b) Dedication of Parks and Open Space: Parks and protected open space must be approved by City Council for public ownership or management, or maintained permanently by a homeowners’ association in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. (c) Design Guidelines (i) Parks should be fronted by homes and/or retail development in order to make them sociable, safe and attractive places. (ii) Parks should be located along prominent pedestrian and bicycle connections. (iii) To the extent feasible, single-loaded roads should be utilized adjacent to natural open spaces to define a clear transition between the private and public realm, and to reinforce dedicated open space as a natural resource and not extended yard areas. The applicant proposes an open area of 2.54 acres. This is smaller than proposed at sketch plan review, but exceeds the minimum of approximately 0.97 acres of parkland recommended based on the number of housing units. The park incorporates more “active” recreational features than before: an enhanced network of recreation paths within the site and linking to external networks of paths or sidewalks, and a dual purpose dry detention basin for stormwater, which is also a volleyball court. The applicant should explain how often this “dry” basin will be damp or wet, and how that will affect the volleyball court itself and its usability. Otherwise, it appears that roughly half of this open space area is class III wetland or wetland buffer. The applicant should demonstrate how residential areas will be separated from the public park/open CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 22 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING space. 12. The applicant should indicate how residential areas will be separated from the park/open space to ensure future encroachment does not occur. The applicant should confirm with the Recreation Department that this is the desired use of the space. 13. The applicant should confirm with the Recreation Department the installation of a volleyball court in the dry detention basin. See above under Planned Unit Development for comments concerning clear transitions to wetland areas. 9.08 SEQ-NR &NRT Sub-District; Specific Standards The SEQ-NR and SEQ-NRT sub-district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated in this Section. A. Street, Block and Lot Pattern (1) Development blocks. Development block lengths should range between 300 and 500 linear feet; see Figure 9-2 for example. If longer block lengths are unavoidable blocks 500 feet or longer must include mid-block public sidewalk or recreation path connections. The applicant proposes a block length of approximately 520 feet on the two principal north-south roads. The eastern roadway includes approximately 180 feet of park/open space frontage to be dedicated to the city, while the western roadway includes a mid-block recreation path right-of way crossing. All other streets and blocks comply with the standards. Staff and the Board feel that this criterion has largely been met and feel that appropriate steps have been taken to grant a waiver per the applicant’s request. (2) Interconnection of Streets (a) Average spacing between intersections shall be 300 to 500 feet. (b) Dead end streets (e.g. culs de sac) are strongly discouraged. Dead end streets shall not exceed 200 feet in length. (c) Street stubs are required at the end of dead end streets to allow for future street connections and/or bicycle and pedestrian connections to open space and future housing on adjoining parcels per section 15.12(D)(4). See above under block lengths. A street stub is proposed at the western end of Swift Street Extension as depicted on the Official Map. (3) Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the property line and connected to adjacent parcels per section 15.12(D)(4) of these Regulations. Posting signs with a notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly encouraged. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 23 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING A street stub is proposed at the west end of Swift Street Extension. This criterion has been met. (4) Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. The proposed lots largely meet or exceed the minimum standards. 19 of the 22 single home lots exceed the 2:1 ration. Lots 15-17 are slightly below this standard, but abut recreation paths and the proposed park/open space. The remainder of lots within the District are PUDs, and so the lot width-to-depth is not applicable. Given the overall layout of the project and inclusion of recreation paths / open space, staff feels the waiver of the width-to-depth ratio for lots 15-17 is acceptable. The Board should confirm this. 14. The Board should confirm that a waiver of the width-to-depth ratio for lots 15-17 is acceptable. B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards (1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) in the NR sub- district are intended to be low-speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set forth in Tables 9-1 and 9-2, and Figures 9-4 and 9-5 of the SBLDR. (2) Sidewalks. Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet (5’) in width with an additional minimum five-foot planting strip (greenspace) separating the sidewalk from the street. Sidewalks are required on one side of the street, and must be connected in a pattern that promotes walkability throughout the development. The DRB may in its discretion require supplemental sidewalk segments to achieve this purpose. (3) Street Trees; see Section 9.08(B)(3) Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet wide. Street tress shall be large, deciduous shade trees with species satisfactory to the City Arborist. Street trees to be planted must have a minimum caliper size of 2.5 to 3 inches DBH, and shall be planted no greater than thirty feet (30’) on center. The proposed project complies with the above criteria. (4) On-street parking; see Section 9.08(B)(4). On street parking is appropriate in a small neighborhood. The roadway right-of-way is of sufficient width and well-planned to accommodate such. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with this criterion at subsequent levels of review for the project. On street parking is proposed along both sides of the eastern leg of “Rye Circle” and one side of “Edgewood Lane”, “Cottage Circle”, and the remainder of “Rye Circle”. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 24 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING Swift Street Extension is proposed to have 30’ of pavement. It is unclear whether this is intended to include parking or not. The applicant should confirm this. 15. The applicant should clarify whether on-street parking is intended for Swift Street Extension. (5) Intersection design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and to slow traffic; see Figure 9-6 and Section 9.08(B)(5). The Director of Public Works and Fire Chief shall confirm that the plans, as amended, include acceptable intersection designs. 16. The Director of Public Works and Fire Chief shall confirm that the plans, as amended, include acceptable intersection designs. (6) Street and sidewalk lighting. Pedestrian-scaled light fixtures (e.g., 12’ to 14’) shall be provided sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall illumination levels should be consistent with the lower-intensity development patterns and character of the SEQ, with lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot-spots) and trespass minimized to the lowest level consistent with public safety. See above under the consolidated public works comments. The proposed light poles are 16’ and 20’ in height. The Board should discuss the difference in proposed light pole height relate to the standard with the applicant. 17. The Board should discuss the difference in proposed light pole height relative to the standards with the applicant. C. Residential Design (1) Building Orientation. Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary entries for single family and multi-family buildings must face the street. Secondary building entries may open onto garages and/or parking areas. (Special design guidelines apply to arterial streets). (2) Building Façades. Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation approach. Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but façades should be varied from one building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches, stoops, and balconies that create semi-private space and are oriented to the street are encouraged. (3) Front Building Setbacks. In pedestrian districts, a close relationship between the building and the street is critical to the ambiance of the street environment. Buildings should be set back twenty-five feet (25’) from the back of sidewalk. (4) Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8’) into the front setbacks. Porch, stoop and balcony areas within the front setback shall not be enclosed or weatherized with glazing or other solid materials. (5) Placement of Garages and Parking. See Section 9.08(C)(4) and Figure 9-7. The front building line of CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 25 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING the garage must be set behind the front building line of the house by a minimum of eight feet. (6) Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), sizes, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. These should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of near-identical units. The proposed plans include:  22 standard detached single family homes;  14 cottage style units;  16 units in the form of 4 quadplex buildings Overall, the project seems designed in a logical framework, and the placement of the buildings around the ‘green’ in the center of the property appears to be well-designed. The location of the 4-unit buildings between the commercial uses and the residential zone also helps to transition this development from commercial, to higher density residential, to lower density residential. Architectural designs for the cottage homes and the multi-family dwellings are submitted for your information and review. Discussion with the applicant about these designs, and how similar or different they may be regarding colors, rooflines, and building styles will help to illuminate whether this criterion is satisfied. As described in the cover letter/narrative, the applicant has redesigned the project in order to address the Board’s concerns about design and layout; for example, providing an orderly transition from commercial buildings to multi-family to single family homes. This design appears to meet the goals and objectives of the Southeast Quadrant design standards in the LDRs. As recommended before, the applicant has submitted detailed architectural elevations and materials lists for all of the proposed buildings. It appears that the garages on the cottage units, types ‘C1’, ‘C2’, ‘D’, and ‘E’ are set back at least 8’ as required; however, the Board must determine whether the covered porches from which these are measured are substantial enough to qualify as the front lines of these houses. Please see sheet number A201 (all of them) for information and detail. The Board should also confirm whether the homes are oriented toward the street(s), as required. 18. The Board should confirm that the front porches for cottage units 1-7 are sufficient to meet the garage setback standards. As noted above, the four quad-plexes serve as a transition for the overall project and represent different styles and sizes from other units on the property. The design of these four building is identical, but represents a small portion of the overall development. The applicant should confirm whether the specification “color as selected by architect” means that all four buildings will be of the same color or whether a variety of colors will be added. 19. The Board should confirm with the applicant that the residential design standards have been met multi-family units. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 26 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING The applicant on January 28, 2014 submitted “Single family home design guidelines Rye parcel subdivision” from Rabideau Architects for the Board’s consideration as to how to demonstrate compliance with these criteria. This document, if approved, would be used be the Administrative Officer to determine compliance in the issuance of individual building zoning permits for the single family homes. 20. The Board should discuss the applicant’s proposal for demonstrating compliance with the residential design standards for single family homes. The applicant is seeking a waiver of Section 3.06(C) Setbacks and Buffers; Yards Abutting a Planned Street. Specifically, “With the assumption that the reference to “Swift Street” also means Swift Street Extension, the applicant seeks a waiver for Cottage buildings 7-1 and 7-7 (to 30’) and residential lots #22 and #23 (to 20’) and Commercial Lot #1 (to 30’) to achieve the goals set forth in the SEQ district guidelines.” The Board has discussed this and has indicated the waiver request to be acceptable. The Applicant is also seeking the following waivers regarding setbacks, lot size, and lot coverage. Appendix C Table C-2 Dimensional Standards A. Single Family Minimum Lot Size from 12,000 SF to 9,937 SF. - B. Single Family Max. Building Coverage from 15% to 20% for all lots. C. Single Family Max. Lot Coverage from 30% to 42% for Lot 7. D. Single Family Front Yard Setback from 20’ to 10' (Cottage Units 6-1 & 6-2 off of Edgewood Drive). E. Single Family Rear Yard Setback from 30' to 20’ (Cottage Units 7-2 thru 7-6). F. Multi-Family Max. Building Coverage from 15% to 28% for Lot 6. G. Multi-Family Max. Lot Coverage from 30% to 55% for Lot 6. H. Commercial Lot Coverage from 30% to 54% for all lots except for Lot 3 which shall be 63% I. Commercial Building Coverage from 15% to 21% for all lots except for Lot 3 which shall be 26% Staff and the Board have reviewed these requests for waivers and previously indicated that they are acceptable as part of a creative PUD design. Lot coverage, though exceeded for individual lots, shall comply with the overall PUD maximum of 30%. Building setbacks within the Cottage unit areas generally range from 10 to 43 feet, with one building on lot 8 setback 66 feet. The regulations do not specify whether the 25’ setback is a minimum or maximum. Staff feels, on balance, that the cottage units meet the intent of the standards. 9.10 SEQ-VC Sub-District; Specific Regulations The SEQ-VC sub-district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated below: CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 27 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING A. Street, block and lot pattern. (1) Development blocks. Development block lengths should range between 200 and 300 linear feet; see Figure 9-2 for example. Blocks 300 feet or longer must include mid-block public sidewalk or recreation path connections. (2) Interconnection of Streets (a) Average intersection spacing shall be 200 to 300 feet. (b) Dead end streets (e.g. cul de sacs) are discouraged. Dead end streets shall not exceed 200 feet in length. (c) Street stubs are required at dead end streets to allow for future street connections and/or bicycle and pedestrian connections to open space and future housing on adjoining parcels per Section 15.12(D)(4). (3) Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the property line per Section 15.12(D)(4) of these Regulations to allow connection to adjacent parcels. Posting signs with a notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly encouraged. (4) Lot ratios. Lots for new residential structures shall incorporate a minimum lot width to lot depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. The portion of the project within the SEQ-VC subdistrict fronts Hinesburg Road and the eastern leg of the north-south street. The block length is approximately 740 feet along Hinesburg Road and 520 feet on the other north-south street. Both blocks line up with existing intersections / shared driveways. See the note above concerning recreation path rights-of-way. The applicant is not proposing any new roads within the SEQ-VC district, and so the street standards do not necessarily apply to Hinesburg Road. Regardless, staff feels that given the nature of Hinesburg Road and location of intersections, the proposal is acceptable. Staff recommends, however, that the Board reserve the right to require one or more sidewalk / recreation path connections (public or private) to Hinesburg Road as part of a subsequent level of review of the project. The proposed commercial lots along Hinesburg Road do not strictly comply with the lot depth ratio of 2:1. All lots are deeper than they are wide. The applicant is also proposing that lots be smaller than the minimum lot size. Given the narrow depth of the VC district, it would be impossible to meet both the minim lot sizes (40,000 sf) and minimum lot depth ratio. Staff feels the applicant has proposed a plan that allows the project to related to both Hinesburg Road and “Rye Circle” and that a waiver of the lot depth ratio is acceptable. 21. The Board should confirm that a waiver of the lot depth ratio within the SEQ-VC subdistrict is acceptable. B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards (1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets in the VC sub-district are intended to be low-speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set forth in Section 9.09(B)(1) above, and Tables 9-3 and 9-4; cross-sections shall be as set forth in Figures 9-10 and 9-11 below. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 28 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (2) Sidewalks (a) Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet in width plus a five-foot planting strip separating the sidewalk from the street. (b) Sidewalks are required on both sides of the street. (3) Street Trees; see Section 9.08(B)(3) (4) On-street Parking; see Section 9.08(B)(4) (5) Intersection Design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and to slow traffic; see Section 9.08(B)(5) and Figure 9-6. (6) Lighting. Pedestrian scale light fixtures (e.g., 12’ to 14’) shall be provided sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall illumination levels should be consistent with the lower-intensity development patterns and character of the SEQ, with lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot-spots) and trespass minimized to the lowest level consistent with public safety. See above under SEQ-NR subdistrict analysis. D. Design Standards for Non-Residential Land Uses in the SEQ-VC Sub-District (1) Building Orientation. Non-residential buildings must be oriented to the principal public street on which the building has a façade. Primary building entries must be oriented to and open onto a sidewalk or other public walkway providing access from the public street. Secondary building entries may open onto parking areas. (2) Building Façades (a) Building facades should be varied and articulated for pedestrian interest. (b) Street level windows and numerous shop entries are encouraged along the sidewalk. Blank or solid walls (without glazing) should not exceed thirty feet (30’) in length at the street level. (c) Building entries should be emphasized with special architectural treatment. (d) All buildings should have a well-defined ‘base’ with richer detail in the pedestrian’s immediate view (i.e., textured materials, recessed entries, awnings, fenestration patterns) and a recognizable ‘top’ consisting of elements such as cornice treatments, roof overhangs with brackets, textured materials, stepped parapets. (e) Buildings should have hipped or gabled roofs or flat roofs with an articulated parapet. Mansard style roofs are discouraged. (f) Buildings in the SEQ-VC should employ “four-sided” design principles intended to ensure a high visual quality from any publicly-used vantage point. (3) Building Setbacks. New buildings with commercial uses must be built to a ‘build-to line’ established no less than fifteen feet (15’) and no more than twenty feet (20’) from the edge of the curb. The area between the building and the curb shall provide for convenient pedestrian access via sidewalk or recreation path; see Section 9.10(C)(1) above. Parking is prohibited between the building and the sidewalk. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 29 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING (4) Parking (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13 of these Regulations, each non-residential use shall provide three (3) off-street parking spaces per 1,000 gross square feet. The DRB may grant a parking waiver in conformance with Section 13.1(N)(3).The Development Review Board may allow on-street parking within 500 linear feet of the nearest building line of the use to count towards the use’s parking requirements. (b) The provisions of Section 13.1 notwithstanding, the DRB may allow shared parking anywhere within the VC district, regardless of linear distance from the proposed use. The Board has previously indicated that building should be orientated towards “Rye Circle”. Staff feels the proposed building for Commercial Lot #1 complies with the design standard above. Windows are numerous and no “blank walls” are shown. The building includes doors facing to the south as well as to the west towards “Rye Circle”. The building’s roofs comply with the standards. The building employs a “four-sided” design principle and varied architectural features throught. 22. The Board should review the elevations for Commercial Lot #1 to confirm compliance with the above standards. Lot 1 has a GSF of 5,000 thereby requiring 15 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing 14 spaces on the Lot with the understanding that the parking lot as proposed will be extended and shared with other commercial buildings. This would represent a waiver of 6.7%. Staff feels this waiver request is acceptable. 23. The Board should confirm that a one (1) space parking waiver request for Commercial Lot 1 is acceptable. 9.11Supplemental Standards for Arterial and Collector Streets A. Setbacks. The minimum front setbacks from Dorset Street, Old Cross Road, Nowland Farm Road, Hinesburg Road, Swift Street, Swift Street Extension, and Old Cross Road Extension, shall be as set forth in Section 3.06(B) (1) and (2) of these Regulations. B. Building Orientation along Arterial and Collector Streets. (1) New developments with frontage on Dorset Street, Old Cross Road/Nowland Farm Road, or Swift Street, or which have the potential to include frontage along Swift Street Extension or Old Cross Road Extension, shall maintain a setback of twenty feet (20’) from the edge of the planned right-of-way. (2) New developments with frontage on Hinesburg Road shall maintain a setback of forty feet (40’) from the edge of the planned right-of-way. (3) This setback area shall be attractively landscaped, with suitable street trees and fencing made of natural materials, in a manner that creates a defined edge to the development, without creating a visual “wall” or barrier. Acceptable alternatives for this treatment are shown in Figures CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 30 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 9-12 and 9- 13. (4) A public sidewalk or recreation path planned in coordination with the South Burlington Recreation Path Committee shall be incorporated into the setback area. (5) The use of earthen berms of more than four feet (4’) in height above the average pre- construction or finished grade of the setback area, shall not be permitted. Under no circumstances shall vegetation other than grasses and low-growing shrubs be planted along the slope or top of any berms or other land shaped areas. The Board, however, has reviewed and previously indicated that the applicant’s request for a waiver of the setback from 40 feet to 23 feet of Section 9.11(B)(2) for all lots adjacent to Hinesburg Road to be acceptable. The applicant should discuss compliance with B(4), sidewalk or recreation path within the setback. The initial preliminary plat submission included a sidewalk / recreation path along Hinesburg Road but the current revised plans do not. A drainage swale is located there instead. The applicant should discuss this with the Board. 24. If it has not done so already, the applicant should discuss the change to remove the sidewalk / recreation path along Hinesburg Road. OTHER – BUFFER STRIPS Section 3.06(I) Buffer Strip for Non-Residential Uses Adjacent to Residential District Boundaries. (1) Where a new non-residential use is adjacent to or within fifty (50) feet of the boundary of a residential district, or where an existing non-residential use, structure or parking area that is adjacent to or within fifty (50) feet of the boundary of a residential district is proposed to be expanded, altered or enlarged, the required side or rear setback shall be increased to sixty-five (65) feet. A strip not less than fifteen (15) feet wide within the sixty-five (65) foot setback shall be landscaped with dense evergreens, fencing, and/or other plantings as a screen. New external light fixtures shall not ordinarily be permitted within the fifteen (15) foot wide buffer area. Staff understand the applicant’s concern that it is difficult or perhaps even impossible to have mixed use development, a goal of the district, while still needing to meet the 15 foot wooded buffer requirement, especially within such a narrow strip of land in the zoning district. With provisions for where parking must be located, along with a significant setback requirement from Hinesburg Road, it is very difficult to meet the requirement for the buffer between zones while also providing a street and keeping parking to the rear of the lots. These are not large buildings, with footprints at or below 5,000 SF. The Board has previously discussed this item. Given the particular circumstances of this project, a mixed- use project in an area with a VC and NR subdistrict, staff feels the waiver requested by the applicant is warranted. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 31 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING 25. The Board should discuss whether a front yard setback of 20 feet when a street with a right-of- way of at least 50’ is proposed between the residential use and the proposed commercial use to be acceptable. RECOMMENDATION As noted at the beginning of this memo, this project involves both master plan review and preliminary plat review. Staff recommends closing the hearing on the master plan and moving toward a decision on that part of the process. Regarding preliminary plat review, Staff recommends that the Board review the numbered items it can at this point, and likely continue that hearing to another time so that the latest detailed site plans can be reviewed by other Town Staff. With those other comments in hand, we can then continue to work through a full and informed review. Now is also a good time for the Board to raise any other questions or concerns, so that the applicant can use this time to address them before we take up the project again. The Board should also offer guidance to the applicant regarding the proposed approach to use of the commercial portion of the property. Finally, with regard to proposed gingko trees, be sure to require only male trees, as the female trees will drop a prolific crop of messy and smelly fruits all over yards and sidewalks. Respectfully submitted, ________________________________ Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com AGENDA #5 MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington Development Review Board FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning, AICP Planner Temporary Assignment Lee Krohn, AICP RE: #SD-13-42, Wedgewood subdivision/PRD MTG DATE: February 4, 2014 The applicant has re-submitted a sketch plan for a project that had been reviewed and approved by the Development Review Board as application #SD-10-10. That approval has since lapsed. The applicant is now submitting the project anew and states that there have been no changes since the last approval. What follows is an abbreviated review to address changes that have taken place in the Land Development Regulations since that time, as well as elements of the project where the DRB has made slightly different findings over the past 3+ years as it has become more accustomed to the SEQ standards. Enclosed, for your reference, is a copy of the 2010 DRB approval. Please note that as a new application, the applicant and DRB are not bound by the 2010 decision. Open Space / Agriculture / Wetland Delineations The proposed project includes several different areas of open space interspersed with housing units due to presences of wetlands on the property. This was reviewed and by the DRB in 2010. The applicable standards are listed below. 9.06(B). Open Space and Resource Protection. (1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels, creating or enhancing stream buffer areas, or creating or enhancing buffers for primary or secondary natural communities (3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant. Such plan shall describe the intended use and maintenance of each area. Continuance of agricultural uses or enhancement of wildlife habitat values in such plans for use and maintenance is encouraged. Existing natural resources on each site shall be protected through the development plan, including (but not limited to) primary natural communities, streams, wetlands, floodplains, conservation areas shown in the Comprehensive Plan, and special natural and/or geologic features such as mature forests, headwaters areas, and prominent ridges. In making this finding the 2 Development Review Board shall use the provisions of Article 12 of this bylaw related to wetlands and stream buffers. (5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape. C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing agricultural operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community-supported agriculture. Provisions that enhance overall neighborhood and natural resource values rather than preservation of specific soil types are strongly encouraged. In addition to the requirements outlined in the 2010 decision,. Staff recommends the Board discuss the following three items related to open space, agriculture, and wetlands on the property. 1. Agriculture. The previous decision was silent on the issue of agriculture as described above. Staff recommends a clarification that any homeowners’ association bylaws not preclude future agricultural activities on the property. The proposed layout includes opportunities for small scale agriculture, such as community gardens in front units 1-6. The current approval does not prohibit such agricultural activities, but does not specifically endorse them either. 2. Wetland boundary definition. The proposed project includes a cedar hedge to the west of units 7-8 to clearly define the edge of the wetland buffer. Staff recommends the applicant similarly delineate the boundary to the east of units 1-6 through the use of hedges, fencing, or other equally effective methods. 3. Footprint lots. The proposed layout includes footprint lots that appear to bisect proposed patios and/or decks. The applicant should clarify this. Staff recommends the Board also discuss appropriately sizing footprint lots to ensure future decks & porches can be accommodated without PUD approval. Roadways & Circulation E. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on of adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles between neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants. The proposed project includes connections to the property to the north and to the south. In discussions with the applicant, staff discussed two possible changes to the roadway configuration. 1. Cul-de-sac design. Staff has encouraged the applicant to meet with the Fire Chief and Director of Public Works regarding the cul-de-sac, to determine whether any more space-efficient alternatives can be installed. The applicant’s proposal is consistent with the Land Development Regulations’ requirements, but the Board has the authority to approve alternative designs if appropriate. No action is needed from the Board at this time. 2. Entryway design. Staff communicated with the applicant regarding whether Black Dog Lane and 3 Windswept Lane could be consolidated. The applicant’s engineer, David Burke, prepared a response and performed an analysis addressing this question. That response and analysis, dated January 21st, 2014, are attached. Housing Types vs. Housing Styles One element of the Land Development Regulations that have changed since the last approval is standard regarding housing styles / types. Previous standard: 9.08(C)(5) Mix of Housing Types. A mix of housing types is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. Housing types should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of identical housing types. Current standard: 9.08(C)(5) Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e., ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), zines, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and development. These should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of near-identical units. Staff recommends the Board discuss this change with the applicant and have the applicant respond to how the proposal can or will meet the revised standard. Recreation Path Committee Comments The Recreation Path Committee reviewed the project in advance of the DRB meeting and has provided the following input. Note that the applicant was not present at the meeting to address questions. Autumn Hill Road The committee reviewed plans for Autumn Hill Road, and determined: • A sidewalk should be built all along the way, and it should connect to the existing path. • There should be a bike path connection to Black Dog Lane. • The path should connect through the end of Autumn Hill Rd toward Cheese Factory Rd, and the Bread & Butter Farm. • From Summerfield Avenue in Cider Mill, toward Autumn Hill Rd, a Rec Path connection should be established. • We request a cut across/easement for access across the property. • We recommend that the applicant explore an eastern connection. • In the area of the proposed cul-de-sac, we would like a gravel area which allows parking for up to four vehicles, allowing ease of access to the path. (SE end of the Scott property) David put forth: The committee is interested in getting access to the Scott property, now owned by the City, and requests that the developer review our suggestions to determine what would work with their plans in order to provide multi-use path access. The Board may discuss these items with the applicant as they relate to standards within the Land Development Regulations, including ones which may already be included in the proposed development. 4 Water & Wastewater The applicant should, at the preliminary / final plat stage, confirm that water and wastewater allocations granted for the previous approval remain valid. Other changes to the LDRs and/or standards: Standards or best practice for maximum building heights and sprinklering of homes off public roads have been updated since the previous approval. These items can and should be addressed at the preliminary plat stage of the application. Fire Department & Public Works Review. Staff recommends that the Fire Chief, Director of Public Works, and City Arborist perform a review of the application at the preliminary plat level to make sure that their concerns will still be satisfied under their own applicable, relevant, and current standards.

The amendment consists of developing Phase 2 of a project which includes 99 dwelling units, 1840 Spear Street. The overall project received initial master plan approval on July 19, 2005; as you know, Phase 1, with its 156 units, received preliminary and final plat approval and is now under construction. More recently, sketch plan review was conducted in February, 2013 for phase two of the project which is before you here. Those items included in the master plan approval must be carried through to today. Those items not covered in the master plan decision, such as residential design, are subject to the current bylaws. COMMENTS Administrative Officer Ray Belair, Director of Planning & Zoning Paul Conner, and Planner, Temporary Assistant Lee Krohn, AICP (“Staff”) have reviewed the plans submitted on December 10, 2013 and offer the following comments. Numbered items for the Board’s attention are in red. Master Plan Pursuant to Section 15.07 D (3), the following applies: Any application for amendment of the master plan, preliminary site plan or preliminary plat that deviates from the master plan in any one or more of the following respects, shall be considered a new application for the property and shall require sketch plan review as well as approval of an amended master plan: (a) An increase in the total FAR or number of residential dwelling units for the property subject to the master plan; (b) An increase in the total site coverage of the property subject to the master plan; (c) A change in the location, layout, capacity or number of collector roadways on the property subject to the master plan; (d) Land development proposed in any area previously identified as permanent open space in the approved master plan application; and/or (e) A change that will result in an increase in the number of PM peak hour vehicle trip ends projected for total build-out of the property subject to the master plan. At the sketch plan level, it was identified that the roads configuration had changed. The Board, however, felt that the proposed “Marsh Road” and southern portion of “North Jefferson Road” were substantially similar to the Master Plan in function and location. The Master Plan did not specifically state which was a collector road and which a local road. 1. The Board should confirm that the change in the road configuration does not require a master plan amendment. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat At the sketch plan level, it was identified that open space within the proposed preliminary plat differs slightly from the approval Master Plan. The applicant indicated, in a letter dated January 24, 2014 “Central Open Space vs. Master Plan: While the area has changed slightly in configuration to include the preservation of recently re-delineated wetland, the size of the proposed area is the same as on the Master Plan.” 2. The Board should discuss the location and size of Open Space and confirm that this does not require a master plan amendment. No changes in FAR, coverage, number of units, or PM Peak hour vehicle trip ends are proposed Zoning District & Dimensional Requirements The dimensional standards outlined in Table C-2 of the Land Development Regulations were altered though the Master Plan approval process for the subject property. The approved waivers are outlined in the decision and findings of fact for Master Plan #MP-04-01. The proposed project (Phase 2) meets all of the dimensional standards approved in the Master Plan. As discussed during the Master Plan approval, the applicant had asked that the preliminary and final plat reviews of each of the three phases be limited to single-family, two-family, and three-family dwelling units. Thus, any buildings with greater than three dwelling units, in addition to the school, will be reviewed under separate site plan reviews. The DRB approved this Master Plan approach. Therefore, the three buildings with ten dwelling units each and the one nine-unit building have been removed from these plans submitted for preliminary plat approval, and are not part of this review, except for acknowledging the proposed locations as shown on the plans for these multi-unit buildings. That said, it is noted for the record that according to the applicant’s data, overall building and site coverages for phase two are less than those approved in the prior master plan approval. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, PUDs shall comply with the following standards and conditions: (A)(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the project. According to Section 15.13(B)(1) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the existing public utility system shall be extended to provide the necessary quantity of water, at an acceptable pressure, to the proposed dwelling units. According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the subdivider or developer shall connect to the public sewer system or provide a community wastewater system approved by the City and the State in any subdivision where off-lot wastewater is proposed. Utility plans are submitted as part of the preliminary plat application, and have been submitted to the Director of Public Works for review. The Director of Public Works has provided initial comments, and these have been replied to. Both the comments are replies are incorporated in the applicant’s letter of January 14, 2014. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat 3. Applicant shall obtain preliminary water and wastewater allocation approvals prior to submittal of a final plat. (A)(2) 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 drainage plans are submitted as part of the preliminary plat application, and have been submitted to the Director of Public Works for review. The Director of Public Works has provided initial comments, and these have been replied to. Both the comments are replies are incorporated in the applicant’s letter of January 14, 2014. 4. 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. (A)(3) The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. Access to this project is proposed via an existing 48’ wide public roadway directly across from Allen Road, a proposed 24’ wide roadway approximately 1,260’ south of Allen Road, and a 24’ wide roadway approximately 1200’ north of Allen Road. Each of these public roads access onto Spear Street and have a 60’ wide right-of-way. They feed into a public roadway network within the project boundaries. As part of Phase 2 build-out, the applicant will be constructing the northerly connection to Spear Street, as well as the connection, via North Jefferson Drive, to Phase 1 to the South. Staff notes that Phase 1 has 156 units. At present, it is accessible via a single point of access. If Phase 1 were to be built out completely, it would far surpass the 50 units permitted on a single point of access. If Phase 2 were to connect to Phase 1 prior to the construction of the northerly most access point on Spear Street, this could create a situation with greater than 156 units accessed via a single point. As discussed during sketch plan review, the applicant has proposed a phasing plan for roadway connection and construction, in order to satisfy the threshold requirements in the LDRs. The applicant states the following in letter from David Burke dated December 10, 2013: “We understand that a second access to the South Village Master Plan will be required prior to the completion of the 50th unit constructed. This will either occur as the “North Jefferson” extension to Spear Street as part of Phase Two or (“South Jefferson” extension connection to Spear Street as part of Phase One. We also understand that once the 50th unit within Phase Two has been constructed, the “North Jefferson” connection to Spear Street will be required.” The Master Plan approval stipulates that a left turn lane be constructed on Spear Street at the northern access prior to construction of any buildings in Phase 3. This improvement is not proposed as part of this application. Circulation on this property appears to be adequate. The preliminary plat differs from the Master plan, CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat having consolidated or eliminated certain local roads and lanes, and resulting in several roads which were previously “single loaded” serving as dividers residential areas and open space now becoming double-loaded. Delineation of the residential / open space is discussed elsewhere in these notes. See additional notes from the Director of Public Works and Fire Chief below. (A)(4) 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. This phase of the master plan overlaps some Class III wetlands and is adjacent to the major Class II wetland on the property. There is no development proposed in the Class II wetlands or its respective 50’ buffer. Staff recommends the following conditions be included in the Phase 2 decision, to be included in homeowner documents for owners of the lots and dwelling units (these same conditions applied to Phase I): 1. no pesticide nor herbicide application within wetlands and buffer areas; 2. no mowing in wetlands and/or their buffers; 3. disturbance of wetland vegetation should be limited to remediation activities; and 4. no planting non-native species in wetlands or their buffers. 9.06(B)(5) also require that wetlands and buffers, streams, and natural communities be visually delineated in some way in order to prevent creep from private parcels into the wetland. The applicant has addressed in this with the proposal of the stormwater detention areas along the southeast line, and the construction of a trail along the entire easterly property line. The applicant’s letter dated December 10, 2013 states; “Delineation (Public to Private – back of lots): This is only an issue for the non-single family lots, as they will have preserved mature woods beyond their owned land may elect to include additional traditional (shrubs, hedges, or fencing) delineation. The duplexes will include “Footprint Lots” ownership of the land beneath their Unit. The current plans will utilize the proposed trail network as the delineation between the Individual (Private) and Community (Public) spaces. We remain open to input on further delineation, if deemed necessary / desirable.” Staff recommends that an additional, common delineation be provided at the boundaries of all development / open space areas as depicted by the dashed lines on the Plans, including for single and multi-family housing. This is recommended because (a) experience elsewhere in the city shows that even mature woods can become extensions to back yards, and (b) in some areas, the proposed trail is located a significant distance from the boundaries of the development area / open space. 5. Staff recommends the Board discuss development area / open space delineations with the applicant as outlined herein. Pursuant to Section15.18 (B)(6) of the Land Development Regulations, the applicant shall submit a plan for the management and maintenance of the dedicated open spaces created through the Master Plan. The management and maintenance plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Board prior to final plat approval for Phase 2. As with Phase 1, any issues for which the Board seeks technical review shall be conducted at the applicant’s expense. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat 6. The applicant shall submit a plan for the management and maintenance of the dedicated open spaces created through the Master Plan. The management and maintenance plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Board prior to final plat approval for Phase 2. (A)(5) 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 district(s) in which it is located. Pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Land Development Regulations, the Southeast Quadrant District (SEQ) is hereby formed in order to encourage open space preservation, scenic view and natural resource protection, wildlife habitat preservation, continued agricultural use, and well as planned residential use in the largely undeveloped area of the City known as the Southeast Quadrant. The open character and scenic views offered in this area have long been recognized as very special and unique resources in the City and worthy of protection. The location and clustering of buildings and lots in a manner that in the judgment of the Development Review Board will best preserve the open space character of this area shall be encouraged. In order to analyze this project’s visual compatibility with the area, the entire master plan, of which this project is phase 2, must be considered. The master plan is visually compatible with the planned development patterns of the Southeast Quadrant. The buildings, building lots, and roads are clustered and concentrated towards the westerly portion of the property, creating significant open space areas in the central and easterly portions of the subject property. The more than 132 acres of open space preserved through this master plan will maintain the open character of the Southeast Quadrant and will protect wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife habitat. A portion of the proposed development differs somewhat from Phase I, with greater numbers of 2- family units having direct driveway access from the road rather than through a lane or alley. See below under Neighborhood Residential Design for additional review. (A)(6) 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. In order to analyze this project’s open space areas, the entire Master Plan, of which this project is Phase 2, must be considered. The layout proposed through this Master Plan will preserve over 152 acres of dedicated open space, mainly in the central and easterly portions of the subject property. The location of this open space will create contiguous open space corridors with the properties to the south and north of the subject property. (A)(7) 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 shall review the plans on an ongoing basis. Upon receipt, we will incorporate those comments into this memo. 7. The Board should review comments of the Fire Chief upon receipt. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (A)(8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners. Most of the proposed infrastructure and services proposed for this project are consistent with the infrastructure and services proposed in the Master Plan, of which this project is Phase 2. These services and infrastructure have been designed to facilitate extension to adjacent properties. That said, please see comments below on both sidewalks and the recreation path. The Director of Public Works has provided initial comments, and these have been replied to. Both the comments are replies are incorporated in the applicant’s letter of January 14, 2014. The Director of Public Works has not yet had the opportunity to review responses. 8. The Director of Public Works should review responses to initial comments and provide additional comments as necessary to revised plans. (A)(9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards. Infrastructure details are submitted as part of the preliminary plat application, including roadway profiles, recreation path details, and lighting cut sheets and point by point plan. Recreation Path / Trails The proposed recreation path has been reviewed for the entire master-planned development. The Recreation Path Committee reviewed the recreation path and provided comments in a memorandum from Tom Hubbard, dated December 10, 2004. The plans depicting the recreation paths, including their location and timing of construction, have been approved as part of the Master Plan process. The present plan shows a trail rather than a recreation path connecting from Phase I along the western side of the phase II development and up to Spear Street, but the applicant indicates they are fine either way. If the Board wishes to stay the course with a proper recreation path as approved previously, then this should be clarified and confirmed as a part of this review. To help further inform this conversation, please also find below minutes from a portion of the 1/8/14 Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee minutes as they pertain to this project. (Note that the Committee did not have the Master Plan in front of them at the time of their review) 9. The Board should indicate whether a recreation path or a trail is required along the western side of the development. 10. The applicant should clarify how the proposed trail / recreation path along the western side of the phase II development is to connect to the Phase I recreation path depicted on the Master Plan (Page L-1). The remainder of trails depicted on the preliminary plat are substantially similar to the Master Plan. Sidewalks : The proposed Phase II preliminary plat differs from the Master Plan with respect to sidewalks. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat The Master Plan called for two principal north-south roads. One was to have sidewalks on one (1) side, and the other sidewalks on two (2) sides. The proposed plans show a sidewalk on one side of the proposed north-south street. The preliminary plat also shows no sidewalks on the two smaller east-west links on the property. The applicant addressed this prior to the Development Review Board hear and has proposed the addition of sidewalks on the north side of Churchill Road and the south side of North Jefferson Road between Churchill and Marsh Road (see attached letter and drawing dated January 14, 2014). Section 9.08(B(2) states that Sidewalks are required on one side of the street. indicates that sidewalks shall be provided along one side of the street. The Board should discuss the possible discrepancy between the Master Plan and Preliminary Plat for sidewalks along the principal north-south road. If the Board is comfortable with sidewalks on one side, the applicant has also requested feedback one which side would be better. This might relate to number of driveways to be crossed, interconnectivity with other sidewalks, or other similar matters. To help further inform this conversation, please also find below minutes from a portion of the 1/8/14 Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee minutes as they pertain to this project. (Note that the Committee did not have the Master Plan in front of them at the time of their review) 11. The Board should discuss sidewalks along North Jefferson Road. Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee minutes except, 1/8/2014 South Village, Phase 2 South Village is proposing a second entrance into the neighborhood north of the current entrance. The committee reviewed plans for South Village, Phase 2, and determined: • Sidewalks on Churchill St and March Rd should connect. • The Rec path should proceed through the new phase of the neighborhood, and eventually, along Parkside Drive (eat end of South Point) through the conserved Nowland Farm Property and connect to Nowland Farm Rd. • Paths along Jefferson Rd and March Rd should connect through to Nowland Farm Rd. • Jefferson Rd and March Rd should have a multi-use path behind the houses that line the eastside of all roads which will connect toward Nowland Farm Rd. This is much safer than a path which crosses driveways at the front of the houses. We have further questions and concerns: • Currently, there is a “trail” designated in the plan. Is this a multi-use path? • We would like to draw the developer’s attention to the existing Rec Path recommendation for this area. Cathy informed the committee that Carolyn Long owns part of the land in question, and suggests that we talk to her about preserving this land and possible ways to incorporate paths through it. Lighting is discussed under Section 9.08, SEQ Neighborhood Residential. 12. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines shall be underground. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 9 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (A)(10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). Staff feels that Phase 2 is consistent with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site plan approval. Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: (A)Relationship of the proposed development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels that Phase 2 is consistent with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. (B)(1) 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. The project appears to provide a desirable transition from structure to site and from structure to structure, as well as adequate planting and safe pedestrian movement. Again, these standards shall be evaluated with more specific level of review for each of the multi-family buildings as part of a separate application for site plan review. Pursuant to Section 13.01(G)(5) of the Land Development Regulations, bicycle racks shall be depicted on the plans. There are no bike racks shown, as these are only required for multi-family buildings, and as noted above, this application does not include the multi-family buildings. If and when proposed, those will be reviewed as part of a separate application for site plan review. (B)(2) Parking: (a) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. Any side of a building facing a public street shall be considered a front side of a building for the purposes of this subsection. (b) The Development Review Board may approve parking between a public street and one or more buildings if the Board finds that one or more of the following criteria are met. The Board shall approve only the minimum necessary to overcome the conditions below. … (iii) The parking area will serve a single or two-family home; Single and two-family homes in the proposed Phase II comply with this standard. The 4+ unit buildings will be reviewed when applied for. The application contains one 3-unit structure. Though 3-unit structures are not exempt from the above standard, staff feels that with the Master Plan having granted a waiver for 3-unit buildings to be approved without site plan approval, this standard would not then apply in this particular case. The Board should confirm this. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 10 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat 13. The Board should confirm that the three-unit structure is not subject to the parking location requirements due to former Master Plan waiver of site plan review. (B)(3) 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 applicant should demonstrate that the homes proposed here satisfy the standards within the Land Development Regulations; the elevations for the multi-family buildings shall be reviewed as part of the site plan review for each multi-family building. (B)(4) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines shall be underground. (C)(1) 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. Staff feel this criterion is met in Phase II based on the overall Master Plan approval. The applicant should demonstrate conformance with the specific standards within Article 9 – SEQ of these regulations. (C)(2) 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. Staff feel this criterion is met in Phase II based on the overall Master Plan approval. The applicant should demonstrate conformance with the specific standards within Article 9 – SEQ of these regulations. Site plan applications shall meet the following specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the South Burlington 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. No additional easements are needed for this project (Phase 2 of the Master Plan). (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. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines shall be underground. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 11 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (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). None are shown on the plans at this time. (D)Landscaping and Screening Requirements Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening shall be required for all uses subject to planned unit development review. The minimum landscape requirement for this project is determined by Table 13-9 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. The costs of street trees are above and beyond this minimum landscape requirement. The City Arborist has offered comments on street trees, also incorporated into the document that follows, along with the applicant’s response to those comments. E911 Addresses The applicant shall submit E911 addresses for the proposed project, in conformance with the E911 addressing standards, with the final plat application. Southeast Quadrant District This proposed subdivision is located in the southeast quadrant district. Therefore it is subject to the provisions of Section 9 of the SBLDR. 9.06 Dimensional and Design Requirements Applicable to All Sub-Districts The following standards shall apply to development and improvements within the entire SEQ: A. Height. (1) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-NRP, SEQ-NRT, or SEQ-NR sub-district shall not exceed forty-five feet (45’); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures in these sub-districts. (2) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-VR or SEQ-VC sub-district shall not exceed fifty feet (50’); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures in these sub-districts. In addition, the standards set forth in C-2 – Dimensional Standards Applicable in All Districts shall apply. Note that form the multi-family (4+ unit) structures, section 3.07(C) provides a specific provision for projects with Master Plan approval. At this time, this standard is not applicable as the multi-family (4+ unit) structures are not proposed. Building heights must remain below these limitations. B. Open Space and Resource Protection. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 12 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels Staff feels this standard is satisfied, as discussed above from master plan approval. (2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the Regulating Plan for the applicable sub-district allowing carefully planned development at the average densities provided in this bylaw. Staff has addressed this criterion with respect to the block length below. The average density remains below that which is permitted in the sub-district. (3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant. Legal documents shall be worked out prior to final plat approval and recorded prior to issuance of a zoning permit to reflect any portion of the management not addressed in the Master Plan or Phase I approval. The applicant has submitted the proposed legal documents as part of the preliminary plat. These will be reviewed by the City Attorney. (4) Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review Board may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. The project shall adhere to erosion control standards in Section 16.03 of the LDRs. The grading plan shall meet the standards in Section 16.04 of the LDRs. The applicant has submitted a grading and erosion control plan as part of the phasing plan. The Stormwater Superintendent has reviewed the plans and given the size of the parcel, it will be subject to all levels of state review. (5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape. Chain link fencing other than for agricultural purposes shall be prohibited within PUDs; the use of split rail or other fencing made of natural materials is encouraged. As previously stated, there are small encroachments into a Class II wetland buffer and what appears to be an isolated class III wetland on the site. The applicant’s letter dated December 10, 2013, states “Updating the cumulative wetland impacts is required by the Master Plan Wetlands Permit which Civil Engineering Associates, Inc. obtained. As such, CEA has been provided the information to incorporate the Phase 2 design with updating the Wetlands Permit. Please refer to the plan set for specific areas along North Jefferson Road and Marsh Road.” 14. Upon receipt of the updated wetlands information, the Board should confirm compliance with Section 12.02 of the Land Development Regulations. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 13 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing agricultural operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community-supported agriculture. Staff feels this standard is satisfied, from master plan approval. D. Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review Board that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development, the location of buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned public facilities as depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths, streets, park land, schools, and sewer and water facilities. (2) Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. (3) Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. See above under PUD standards for a discussion of recreation paths. The project complies with the Official Map, which proposes a road and a recreation path or trail connection in the vicinity of those proposed on the phase 2 plan. (4) The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire protection can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to, minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants. See above under PUD standards. E. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles between neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants. (1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. (2) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 14 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D)(4) related to connections between adjacent streets and neighborhoods shall apply. These items have all been previously addressed in this report. D. Parks Design and Development. (1) General standards. The SEQ has an existing large community park, the Dorset Street Park Complex. Parks in the SEQ may be programmed as neighborhood parks or mini-parks as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Mini parks in the SEQ should be a minimum of 10,000 square feet, with programming approved by the South Burlington Recreation Department. Such parks are to be located through the neighborhoods in order to provide a car-free destination for children and adults alike, and to enhance each neighborhood’s quality of life. They shall be knitted into the neighborhood fabric as a focal point in the neighborhood, to add vitality and allow for greater surveillance by surrounding homes, local streets and visitors. Each park should be accessible by vehicle, foot, and bicycle and there should be a park within a quarter-mile of every home. (2) Specific Standards. The following park development guidelines are applicable in the SEQ- NRT, SEQ-NR, SEQ-VR, and SEQ-VC districts: (a) Distribution and Amount of Parks: (i) A range of parks and open space should be distributed through the SEQ to meet a variety of needs including children’s play, passive enjoyment of the outdoors, and active recreation. (ii) Parks should serve as the focus for neighborhoods and be located at the heart of residential areas, served by public streets and fronted by development. (iii) Parks should be provided at a rate of 7.5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 population per the South Burlington Capital Budget and Program. (iv) A neighborhood or mini park of 10,000 square feet or more should be provided within a one-quarter mile walk of every home not so served by an existing City park or other publicly-owned developed recreation area. (b) Dedication of Parks and Open Space: Parks and protected open space must be approved by City Council for public ownership or management, or maintained permanently by a homeowners’ association in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. (c) Design Guidelines (i) Parks should be fronted by homes and/or retail development in order to make them sociable, safe and attractive places. (ii) Parks should be located along prominent pedestrian and bicycle connections. (iii) To the extent feasible, single-loaded roads should be utilized adjacent to natural open spaces to define a clear transition between the private and public realm, and to reinforce dedicated open space as a natural resource and not extended yard areas. Several parcels of open space are proposed on the project with a substantial network of trails. In addition, as part of the Master Plan, a future public recreation field was approved near the intersection of Allen Road and Spear Street. Staff feels this criterion has been met through the Master Plan. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 15 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat 9.08 SEQ-NR &NRT Sub-District; Specific Standards The SEQ-NRT sub-district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated in this Section. A. Street, Block and Lot Pattern (1) Development blocks. Development block lengths should range between 300 and 500 linear feet; see Figure 9-2 for example. If longer block lengths are unavoidable blocks 500 feet or longer must include mid-block public sidewalk or recreation path connections. (2) Interconnection of Streets. Average spacing between intersections shall be 300 to 500 feet. Dead end streets (e.g. culs de sac) are discouraged. Dead end streets may not exceed 200 feet in length. Street stubs are required at the end of dead end streets to allow for future street connections and/or bicycle and pedestrian connections to open space and future housing on adjoining parcels per section 15.12(D)(4). The proposed Phase 2 plans largely consist of blocks lengths of 300 to 500 feet. There are two notable exceptions: • The section of North Jefferson Road extending from Churchill Street to Spear Street is nearly 1,000 feet in length. • The section of North Jefferson Road extending south of Marsh Road is nearly 900 feet in length The section extending to Spear Street is shown as depicted on the Master Plan and consists entirely of open space / agricultural lands to the south, and a significant wooded area immediately north of the proposed single family homes. A trail as shown on the Master Plan and preliminary plat bisects this length. The section extending to Phase I is proposed as a single road with homes on either side. This differs from the Master Plan but includes the same – or possibly slightly less development area. To the east and west of this development area are open spaces / agricultural areas. A trail crossing is proposed at approximately the midpoint of this block. The Board did not indicate concern at the sketch plan level. 15. The Board should discuss block lengths and intersection spacing with the applicant. (3) Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the property line and connected to adjacent parcels per section 15.12(D)(4) of these Regulations. Posting signs with a notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly encouraged. The only street stub proposed as part of this application is at the north end of Marsh Road. (4) Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. The majority of single family home lots comply with the standards above. It appears as though lots 40, 42, 47-49 and 54-55, while in most cases very close to the standards, do not quite meet them. Staff feels CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat that the due to the Master Plan and conservation of open space lots on the property, a waiver of these strict ratios is acceptable. 16. The Board should confirm that waivers of lot depth ratios for certain single family lots is acceptable. Portions of the proposed development are proposed as a large PUD without individual home lots. This criterion applies to subdivision of land. B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards (1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) in the NR sub- district are intended to be low-speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set forth in Tables 9-1 and 9-2, and Figures 9-4 and 9-5 of the SBLDR. Staff has already commented on the roadway, sidewalk, and recreation path design. (2) Sidewalks. Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet (5’) in width with an additional minimum five-foot planting strip (greenspace) separating the sidewalk from the street. Sidewalks are required on one side of the street, and must be connected in a pattern that promotes walkability throughout the development. The DRB may in its discretion require supplemental sidewalk segments to achieve this purpose. (3) Street Trees; see Section 9.08(B)(3) Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet wide. Street tress shall be large, deciduous shade trees with species satisfactory to the City Arborist. Street trees to be planted must have a minimum caliper size of 2.5 to 3 inches DBH, and shall be planted no greater than thirty feet (30’) on center. The applicant proposes street trees in accordance with the regulations along both sides of every street. The City Arborist has reviewed the plans. (4) On-street parking; see Section 9.08(B)(4). On street parking is appropriate in a small neighborhood. The roadway is of sufficient width and well- planned to accommodate such. Once the road becomes public and is taken over by the City, the City Council will have complete control to dictate either way. (5) Intersection design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and to slow traffic; see Figure 9-6 and Section 9.08(B)(5). 17. The Director of Public Works shall more specifically comment on this issue. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 17 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING South Village SD-13-44 Preliminary Plat (6) Street and sidewalk lighting. Pedestrian-scaled light fixtures (e.g., 12’ to 14’) shall be provided sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall illumination levels should be consistent with the lower-intensity development patterns and character of the SEQ, with lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot-spots) and trespass minimized to the lowest level consistent with public safety. See above under the consolidated public works comments. The proposed light poles are 16’ in height. The Board should confirm that these represent “pedestrian-scaled” fixtures. 18. The Board should confirm that the proposed lighting represents “pedestrian- scaled” fixtures. C. Residential Design (1) Building Orientation. Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary entries for single family and multi-family buildings must face the street. Secondary building entries may open onto garages and/or parking areas. (Special design guidelines apply to arterial streets). All proposed buildings are oriented to the street. (2) Building Façades. Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation approach. Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but façades should be varied from one building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches, stoops, and balconies that create semi-private space and are oriented to the street are encouraged. See below. (3) Front Building Setbacks. In pedestrian districts, a close relationship between the building and the street is critical to the ambiance of the street environment. Buildings should be set back twenty-five feet (25’) from the back of sidewalk. (4) Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8’) into the front setbacks. Porch, stoop and balcony areas within the front setback shall not be enclosed or weatherized with glazing or other solid materials. The proposed building envelopes largely set back tightly to the street. The only exceptions are for a handful of “flag lot” parcels that were identified in the Master Plan. Staff feels this criteria has been met. (5) Placement of Garages and Parking. See Section 9.08(C)(4) and Figure 9-7. The front building line of the garage must be set behind the front building line of the house by a minimum of eight feet. (6) Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), sizes, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. These should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of near-identical units. The proposed 1-3 family buildings appear to be “placeholders” for future buildings.
