HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes - Development Review Board - 01/07/2014 The South Burlington Development Review Board held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 7 January 2014, at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: M. Behr, Chair; T. Barritt, B. Miller, J. Smith Also Present: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; J. & B. Noyes, M. Couture, R. Groeneveld, E. Herrmann, C. Snyder, D. Marshall, E. & J. Bradley, A. Rowe 1. Design Review Application #DR-13-05 of Mike Couture to amend a Master Signage Permit , 5 Market Street: Mr. Behr asked if the new sign will cover where the banner is, from side to side. He felt the new sign should cover all of the yellow of the existing sign. Mr. Couture said what they have done meets the size requirements. They could paint the rest of the existing sign black, if the Board will let them. They want to keep the logo, which is on their T-shirts. Mr. Belair said the recommendation is that they only have the three colors and they requested: black, white and silver. If they paint the rest of the sign black, it will look like it’s all one sign, and that would be too big. Mr. Couture said it would be about 10’x4’ if they covered the yellow. Ms. Smith asked if they could take off the yellow and still have enough support for the sign. Mr. Couture said there are brackets to hold the sign. They propose to fit in the new sign where the other one was. Mr. Behr asked if an existing non-conforming sign can be painted. Mr. Belair said all non-conforming signs should be brought into compliance. He added that it would be good to know the dimensions from yellow to yellow on the existing sign. Mr. Couture asked if the frame of the sign is considered part of the sign. Mr. Belair said he would have to check. Mr. Couture stressed the need for a sign; they have been open for three months without one. Mr. Behr said they might have to continue the application to get more information, particularly whether the frame counts as part of the sign. Mr. Belair said the Board can approve a 32 sq. ft. sign with the three colors. If the sign is over 32 sq. ft., the applicant would have to come back. The applicant asked if they could have a brick structure with a 32 sq. ft. sign. Mr. Belair said there are pages and pages of rules, and it is very complicated. Mr. Behr urged the applicant to work with Mr. Belair on this issue. Mr. Barritt then moved to close #DR-13-05. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 2. Continued Sketch Plan Application #Sd-13-36 of Elizabeth and 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: Mr. Behr noted this application triggers going over the trip ends allowed on the site. He added that the traffic study done by the applicant shows they are under the traffic limit, but the Public Works Director doesn’t approve of the methodology, so the Board cannot approve it. Mr. Bradley said it is improbably that you could get a business there that generates the traffic the numbers allow as there isn’t enough parking on the site for that. He added that if they could put in a sit‐down restaurant there, they could have a million dollar business, but you can’t do it. There are 3 retail businesses there, and if they could share one customer that would give them the numbers they need. Mr. Bradley added there has never been an accident on the road in front of this business; they don’t generate enough traffic for that. The apartment they are considering is very small, probably for one person. Mr. Bradley felt their survey was just as legitimate as the Public Works Director’s. He added they are different from McDonalds, and that’s a disaster. He suggested they could have a sign saying right turn out only. He would have no problem with that. Mr. Behr said the regulations don’t consider safety; they only consider numbers. He suggested the other option would be to invoke technical review by an impartial party. Mr. Bradley asked if the overlay district rules would be eliminated if the city went to form based codes. Mr. Belair noted there is a movement to eliminate traffic overlay. It is not recommended as part of form based codes. Mr. Barritt moved to invoke technical review for traffic generation analysis. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt then moved to continue the application until 4 February 2014. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 3. Continued Preliminary and Final Plat Application #SD-13-33 of Queen City, LLC, to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 6,920 sq. ft. building which includes 2,429 sq. ft. of general office use and three dwelling units, and 2) a 6,708 sq. ft. detached building with two dwelling units. The amendment consists of adding one dwelling unit to the three unit multi-family dwelling, 428-434 Shelburne Road: Mr. Noyes said they are converting an office building to residential space, approximately 2500 sq. ft. on the second floor. There will be no exterior modifications. No issues were raised. Mr. Barritt moved to close the hearing. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 4. Sketch Plan Application of Greenfield Capital, LLC, to amend a previously approved 14,878 sq. ft. light manufacturing facility. The amendment consists of constructing a 25,840 sq. ft. addition, 35 Thompson Street: Ms. Hermann noted this is an existing building at the corner of Meadowland Drive and Thompson Street. They would add the addition to the west side. They propose a curb cut on Meadowland Drive which would redirect traffic flow to the new part of the building. Ms. Hermann said the building will be more aesthetically appealing. Ms. Hermann then showed pictures and video of the existing building and approach to the building. She then showed a video with the proposed addition. She noted the new curb cut would also allow deliveries to the other side and not mix the traffic. She felt this was a safer and calmer way to move traffic around the building. Mr. Marshall noted that both Public Works and the Fire Chief like this plan. He added that the original intent was to minimize curb cuts on the major roads, but things have changed over the past 25 years. Mr. Behr asked if anything would prevent the Board from approving this plan with the curb cut. Mr. Belair said no. Mr. Behr said he didn’t see the curb cut as a major issue and felt the addition looked very good. Mr. Belair noted it doesn’t seem that Meadowland Drive will go through to Williston as was originally thought. Mr. Marshall said there is nothing in the Williston town plan to do that. Mr. Behr questioned the 2 parking spaces in the front yard. Mr. Marshall explained how that happened and said they will be removed. Mr. Belair noted that on-street parking is allowed, if needed. The Board had no major issues with the plan. 5. Preliminary and Final Plat Application #SD-13-39 of Super Temp Realty Co., Inc., for a planned unit development to construct a 27,500 sq. ft. light manufacturing facility, 104 Bowdoin Street: Mr. Marshall said a light manufacturing company will be locating to South Burlington. He drew attention to a high bay area in the center of the building which is taller than the 35-foot standard for the district. The Board does have the ability to approve this. Mr. Marshall noted that they submitted a photo simulation of a “before and after” for the proposed structure. The high area of the building will be green to blend in with the background. Mr. Barritt asked about the possibility of something to break up the mass of the one rectangular green shape. Mr. Belair read from the regulations as to what criteria the DRB can use to make a decision regarding additional heights. Mr. Behr said the concern is a solid wall with no break. He wasn’t sure of the Board’s authority because this is below the scenic view line. The guidance the Board has gotten is that if it doesn’t block the view, it’s OK. Mr. Behr read some comments submitted by DRB member Art Klugo regarding the impact of the massing. Mr. Behr said he agreed with those comments. Mr. Miller suggested some greenery/trellises growing up the wall. Mr. Belair said the only other issue is a fire hydrant. He noted that what was submitted is verbally OK with the Chief, but staff has nothing in writing yet. Mr. Barritt moved to continue the application until 4 February 2014. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 6. Sketch Plan Application #SD-13-40 of Snyder South Pointe Limited Partnership to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of 32 single family dwellings. The amendment consists of removing one single family dwelling and replacing it with four single family dwellings, 111 Upswept Lane: Mr. Snyder said they were originally permitted for 32 homes. They had intended to buy the Unsworth property, which they now have done. They will replace that one home with 4 homes. Mr. Snyder noted that since the original application, the rules have changed so that garages have to be set back from the front of the house. He asked if they can follow the original rules so these houses will be similar to what is already built. Mr. Belair said these homes are not grandfathered. He did note that in the past the Board has determined where to measure the 8-foot setback from. He suggested the applicant could propose an open porch to measure from. Mr. Snyder said the envelopes they propose are deeper, which would allow for porches. He said they can come back with something that would allow flexibility to move the garages back. Mr. Behr noted that Mr. Klugo had commented that these homes seem smaller than the others. Mr. Snyder said there are 4 or 5 other 40’x60’ footprints. Mr. Belair noted that one of the “should” is for 35% of glazing to be toward the south. The applicant will need to provide information on that as well as on a mix of residential design. Mr. Snyder said they will have 2 distinct elevations. Mr. Snyder noted that will not be adding a section of sidewalk to the north side of Upswept. He also noted there is a wetland on the edge of Parkside created by roof drains. A portion of one building impacts that wetland buffer. Mr. Rowe said the wetland is caused by water from the Unsworth roof. That won’t exist when the house is gone. Mr. Snyder added they will not impact the existing stormwater permit. Mr. Rowe said they can create dry or wet swales and manage all stormwater on this property. Mr. Snyder said they will either replace or relocate street trees according to the regulations. Mr. Barritt was concerned with density. He felt 3 homes was OK, not 4. Mr. Miller felt that with 3 houses, they could have different sizes, not all small. Mr. Snyder said you don’t really notice the difference between a 40’ and a 50’ house. He added they can show the Board architecturally what the 4 units will look like. Mr. Snyder added that the city wants density in these neighborhoods, and it is allowed here. Mr. Rowe added the 15 feet between homes is consistent. Mr. Frank, a neighbor, said they want to be sure these homes are harmonious with the neighborhood. But their most serious concern is with water pressure. They have complained since 2006 about this. They did a continuous chart of water pressure from 13 to 20 December 2013. It showed an average of 25 pounds per square inch, which is very low. Mr. Belair said the applicant must show they can provide adequate utilities on the site. Mr. Frank said they were told the pressure should be 40 pounds per square inch. He didn’t want the new homes making their situation worse. Mr. Frank said another issue is handling stormwater for the existing development which is currently up in the air. They still haven’t resolved the disposition of the stormwater system that is out of the street system. The permit has been issued jointly to the city and the development and includes a project in the Town of Shelburne. The city will reluctantly have to take responsibility for that as well. Mr. Snyder said these issues are out of their hands. The new units will be part of the same homeowners association. Mr. Behr noted that Public Works will have to review and approve the project. Mr. Rowe stressed that they did not negatively impact the water pressure. It was originally at 40 pounds per square inch, but something has changed and they don’t know what. Mr. Barritt said he would like to walk the property Mr. Barritt moved to continue the sketch plan to 18 February 2014. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Minutes of 5 March, 3 September, 19 November and 3 December 2013: Ms. Smith noted that the Minutes of 3 September were previously approved, but she should be listed as those attending in addition to David Parsons & Tim Barritt. Mr. Barritt moved to approve the above Minutes as written and/or amended. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 8. Reorganization Meeting: The floor was opened for nominations for Board Chair. Mr. Behr nominated Mr. Barritt. Ms. Smith seconded. There were no further nominations, and Mr. Barritt was elected 4-0. Mr. Behr then nominated Mr. Miller for Vice Chair. Mr. Barritt seconded. There were no further nominations, and Mr. Miller was elected 4-0. Mr. Behr nominated Mr. Parsons for Clerk. Mr. Barritt seconded. There were no further nominations, and Mr. Parsons was elected 4-0. With Mr. Barritt presiding, the Board confirmed meeting dates on the first and third Tuesdays on the month at 7:00 p.m. 9. Other business: Mr. Belair noted receipt of a letter from Pizzagalli asking for a one-year extension for the building at 462 Shelburne Road. Staff has no issues with this request. Mr. Miller moved to approve a one year extension to the Pizzagalli approval for the building at 462 Shelburne Road. Mr. Behr seconded. Motion passed 4-0. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. Clerk March 4, 2014, Date Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works. #DR-13-05 F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\DR_13_05_5MarketStreet_MikeCouture_ffd.doc 1 CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD MASTER SIGNAGE PERMIT #DR-13-05 MIKE COUTURE - 5 MARKET STREET FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION Applicant Mike Couture filed design review application #DR-13-05 to amend a Master Signage Permit, 5 Market Street. Pursuant to Section 6 of the City of South Burlington Sign Ordinance, the erection, alteration, or relocation of any sign within this district shall require design review by the Development Review Board (DRB). Section 8 of the Sign Ordinance requires all property owners within the DS/CC Sign District to obtain a Master Signage Permit. Based on testimony provided at the public hearing held on December 17, 2013 & January 7, 2014 and the plans and supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACTS 1. Applicant Mike Couture filed design review application #DR-13-05 to amend a Master Signage Permit, 5 Market Street. The subject property falls within the Dorset Street/City Center Sign District and is subject to the South Burlington Sign Ordinance adopted June 3, 2002 and last amended May 3, 2010. 2. The application was received on, November 14, 2013. 3. The owner of record of the subject property is Poon Trust, LLC. 4. The Development Review Board held a Public Hearing on December 17, 2013 and January 7, 2014. The applicant represented himself. 5. The applicant has submitted renderings of proposed signs (a 4’ x 12’ wall mounted sign, and a 4’ x 8’ free standing sign). DESIGN REVIEW CRITERIA In reviewing an application for signage, the Board has considered the following: (a) Consistent Design The design of a sign must be compatible and harmonious with the design of buildings on the subject property and nearby. The design of all signs on a property shall promote consistency in terms of color, graphic style, lighting, location, material and proportions. The property hosts one building. The applicant proposes to establish consistency through common design and thematic elements. The Board finds that the proposed sign package achieves consistency in graphic style, lighting, material and proportions. #DR-13-05 F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\DR_13_05_5MarketStreet_MikeCouture_ffd.doc 2 Signs are proposed to be internally or externally illuminated. The free-standing sign will be internally illuminated with fluorescent tube lamps, and as required in the LDRs, will have an opaque background with translucent letters, logos and/or graphics to ensure the background is not illuminated. The wall mounted sign will be externally illuminated by recessed ‘can’ lights within the soffit overhang on the building. No standalone lighting is proposed. (b) Promotion of City Center Goals Signs shall be designed and located in a manner which reinforces and respects the overall stated goals of the sign district and City Center Plan, including a high aesthetic quality and pedestrian orientation. The DRB find that the proposed signs are of high aesthetic quality and are visually pleasing. Pedestrians will be able to see the signs. (c) Color & Texture The color and texture of a sign shall be compatible and harmonious with buildings on the property and nearby. The use of a maximum of three (3) predominant colors is encouraged to provide consistent foreground, text and background color schemes. Free-standing & wall signs: the applicant is proposing that both signs be of similar design: black background, white lettering, and a silver “V” logo. The Board finds this acceptable. Fonts: the Board finds that no limitation on font or font types shall be required. (d) Materials Used- Signs shall be designed and constructed of high-quality materials complimentary to the materials used in the buildings to which the signs are related The Board finds this criterion satisfied.  The sign mounted on the bases will be of a sturdy suitable material. These materials are weather-resistant, very commonly used, and appropriate for the district.  The Board finds that the materials are of high-quality and fitting for the urban environment envisioned in the City Center design district. Pursuant to Section 20 of the Sign Ordinance, all signs shall be of substantial and sturdy construction, kept in good repair, and painted or cleaned as necessary to maintain a clean, safe, and orderly appearance. The proposed sign package is of substantial and sturdy construction and as previously stated; materials are weather-resistant and high quality. The maintenance of orderly appearance shall be enforced. All signs shall be kept in good repair; landscaping surrounding the freestanding signs shall be kept trimmed and neat and shall not obscure the text of the signs. This criterion shall be enforced. #DR-13-05 F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\DR_13_05_5MarketStreet_MikeCouture_ffd.doc 3 (e) Wall Mounted Signs Section 10 of the Sign Ordinance governs the size and location of wall-mounted signs and shall be enforced by the Code Officer. Pursuant to Table 10-1 of the Sign Ordinance, a wall-mounted sign for a multi-tenant building or a multi-building lot with a master signage permit in any district with freestanding or landscape sign shall not exceed 15% of the area of the façade to which it is attached or 100 sq. ft., whichever is smaller. Pursuant to Table 10-1 of the Sign Ordinance, the total area of all wall-mounted signs on the subject property shall not exceed 10% of the area of principal public façade of each building. Section 10(c) states that a wall-mounted sign shall not project above the roof or parapet of the building nor below the top of any first floor doorway unless permitted through the design review approval process. Pursuant to Section 10(d), a wall-mounted sign shall not cover any opening or project beyond the top or end of any wall to which it is attached. Section 10(g) stipulates that a wall-mounted sign shall not project from the wall in excess of 9”. The Code Officer shall ensure that these requirements are met at the time of application of individual signs. (f) Freestanding Signs Section 9(h) states that free-standing signs along Dorset Street are to be located in a sign corridor that begins adjacent to the road Right-of-Way and runs sixteen (16) feet from the edge of the Right of Way toward the building face. N/A Section 9(h) states that free-standing signs in the Dorset Street/City Center District may not exceed thirty-two (32) square feet in overall dimensions and may be no higher than twelve (12) feet, measured from the average finished grade at the base of the sign to the highest point of any part of the sign structure. This shall be enforced by the Code Officer at the time of application of individual signs.

Mike Couture, 5 Market Street Agenda Item #2 Design Review Application #DR-13-05 MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington Development Review Board FROM: Ray Belair, Administrative Officer, and Planner Temporary Assignment Lee Krohn, AICP RE: Couture, Master Sign Permit DATE: January 3, 2014 Staff has prepared a draft decision in this case and staff recommends the Board close the hearing. Bradley/EMB Properties, 1197/1203 Williston Road Agenda Item #3 Application #SD-13-36 MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington Development Review Board FROM: Ray Belair, Administrative Officer, and Planner Temporary Assignment Lee Krohn, AICP RE: Bradley/EMB Properties, 1197/1203 Williston Rd Application for Sketch Plan Review DATE: December 10, 2013, updated January 2, 2014 Sketch Plan application #SD-13-36 of Elizabeth and 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, and four dwelling units), 1197 and 1203 Williston Road. Applicants Elizabeth and Joel Bradley own property at 1197 and 1203 Williston Road. Today, these are two separate lots, each under separate corporate ownership. If approved, this application would consider them as one lot for purposes of PUD review. Each property has a primary building upon it, one housing the Frame Game shop (1203), and the other (1197) with a tax preparer, a hair salon, and four existing dwelling units. This second property also has a rear outbuilding, for which the applicants seek ex post facto approval for conversion to another dwelling unit (a one bedroom apartment). LAND DENSITY The property is located in the C1/R12 zoning district, and is 0.57 acre in size. In this district, all land area may be applied to density for the residential uses. Up to 12 dwelling units are permissible per acre of land; with 0.57 acres, six (6) units could be allowed. Five (5) total dwelling units are proposed, so the property will conform in that respect with one additional dwelling unit. DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS Lot coverage is at 80% today, which is existing nonconforming under the LDR’s; 70% coverage is permitted under the current LDRs. No changes are proposed to any buildings, nor upon the land. Existing building coverage is at 33%; 40% coverage is permitted, so the property conforms in this regard. 31 parking spaces are required; 32 spaces are provided. Here is the breakdown: 5 dwelling units x 2.25 spaces/unit = 11.25 = 12 spaces 650 sq ft of general office x 3.5 spaces/1000 sq ft = 2.25 = 3 spaces 950 sq ft of personal services x 4 spaces/1000 sq ft = 3.8 = 4 spaces 3000 sq of retail space x 4 spaces/1000 sq ft = 12 spaces TOTAL REQUIRED PARKING = 31 SPACES The rear building, where the residential conversion exists/is proposed, sits very close to the rear property line. However, in a manner fundamentally similar to the recent Queen City, LLC case, this is purely a conversion of existing interior space; no changes are proposed to the building or site. TRAFFIC One key issue remains: traffic impacts. These properties lie within Traffic Overlay Zone 2A, where there is a limit on the number of “trips” or “trip ends” (motor vehicles either entering or exiting a site) that are permitted during the weekday afternoon peak hour of traffic on the adjacent roadway. Based on generally accepted principles of traffic engineering, the afternoon peak hour is defined as one hour between 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. Section 10.02 of the LDRs only allows 20 peak hour trips per 40,000 sq ft of land area (nearly, but not quite, one acre of land). Below please find the math and the calculations for the ‘traffic budget’ for these properties, and both existing and proposed peak hour trips, Per the LDRs, the professional reference used for peak hour trips is the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (here, 9th edition, 2012). 0.57 acre = 24,829 sq ft of total land area 24,829 sq ft/40,000 sq ft = 0.621 as a factor to apply to permissible peak hour trips 0.621 x 20 = 12.42 afternoon peak hour trips permitted from these properties. This is the traffic ‘budget’, or the baseline for comparison between actual, proposed, and permitted land uses and the traffic they generate. Existing afternoon peak hour trips per the ITE Manual are as follows: ITE CODE TRIP GENERATION RATE # UNITS/SQ FT SPACE TOTAL TRIPS 220/apts. 0.62/unit 4 2.48 710/office 1.49/1000 sq ft 650 sq ft 0.97 918 hair salon 1.45/1000 sq ft 950 sq ft 1.38 826 specialty retail* 2.71/1000 sq ft 3000 sq ft 8.13 TOTAL EXISTING/GRANDFATHERED PEAK HOUR TRIPS: 12.96 *NOTE: One aspect of these analyses is which category of land use is selected. A custom frame shop like the Frame Game appears to fit well as specialty retail. The other option would be to consider it under ITE Code 879, arts and crafts store. However, based on the ITE description, Staff believes this would more accurately apply to a store like Creative Habitat, a well stocked, full service arts and crafts store that also happens to offer frames for sale, and has a custom frame shop as an accessory service. It does not really fit the nature of the sales and service provided by the Frame Game, which is more like a professional service/custom framery, and thus, which likely has a much lower trip generation rate. It’s not about trying to fit the project to the numbers in order to ensure that the application is approvable; rather, it’s about applying the numbers reasonably and rationally in order to ensure a fair hearing for the applicant. We will proceed with this analysis based on the land use codes chosen above. As noted above, the baseline traffic budget for these properties is 12.42 afternoon peak hour trips. There exists today 12.96 afternoon peak hour trips, and this is considered the grandfathered right to peak hour traffic. When we add the 0.62 new peak hour trips generated by the new dwelling unit to the 12.96 trips otherwise permitted as the grandfathered right, it only compounds the problem for the applicant, creating a new peak hour trip rate of 13.58. Since the existing peak hour traffic already exceeds the budget of 12.42 peak hour trips, the LDRs do not allow any further increase in traffic generation at this site in this overlay district. Therefore, unless a different approach to traffic analysis is warranted and found appropriate, then the additional dwelling unit cannot be approved. Toward that end, the applicant has engaged Lamoureux & Dickinson, a professional engineering firm, to revisit trip generation rates as they exist and as they are proposed. In a two page submittal dated 12/17/13,(included in the packet) Roger Dickinson suggests that there should be an “internal capture” rate applied to both present and proposed conditions. Internal capture refers to the concept that in a mixed use site such as this, there will be some proportion of motorists who visit more than one tenant or use, and thus a purely linear, additive approach to traffic generation from multiple use is not appropriate. Dickinson suggests internal capture rates of 15% for the existing site, and 16% for the proposed site. This reduces his total calculated vehicle trip ends to 10.98 presently, and 11.36 as proposed; both less than the traffic budget for the project of 12.42 afternoon peak hour trips. If this approach is appropriate, then the additional dwelling unit can be approved after all. The question is whether this approach is warranted and appropriate at this site. While the data and tables submitted make this appear to be a purely objective, scientific analysis, there is still much “art” and subjectivity involved in this science, and in determining which sites should benefit from such analysis. Common sense, personal experience, and actual observation and studies all agree that at many mixed use properties such as shopping centers, some patrons will enter the site and visit or shop at multiple businesses. In these cases, a single vehicle trip serves several purposes, and applying an internal capture ratio is a fair, rational and defensible approach. That said, the “art” in this science is deciding when and where this makes sense. This can be based on actual, on site traffic counts, and/or upon a practical analysis of the number and mix of land uses on a site, and the relative likelihood of shared or single purpose visits. Here, with a small number of dissimilar and unrelated land uses, it does not seem to meet the “straight face” test that any substantial or measurable number of patrons can reasonably be expected to visit this site for more than one purpose. The Director of Public Works has a different opinion on this (see below). The other challenge in any of these analyses is the presumption that the underlying data in the ITE Manual are so accurate and reliable that they can be used to calculate vehicle trip ends with precision, that the difference between a hundredth, tenth, or even half or whole trip end can be considered statistically reliable. The reality is that they cannot. Yet understandably, the LDRs use the ITE Manual as the objective standard by which these issues are judged; and the bylaw is clear that in cases like this, traffic may not be increased. There is no latitude for judgment, nor for questions of accuracy or reliability. The only “out” is if a professional engineer demonstrates that an approach different than ITE is legitimate and warranted. Staff asked City Engineer Justin Rabidoux to review Roger Dickinson’s trip generation analysis (included in the packet). Also in the packet is an email from Justin Rabidoux where he indicates that he cannot support the method of determining trips proposed by Roger Dickinson. At this point staff see’s that the applicant three (3) options. One, they could withdraw the application, two, have Roger Dickinson attend the meeting and try to convince the DRB that’s his analysis is the appropriate method under these circumstances, or three, ask the Board to invoke technical review which would involve seeking the advice of a third traffic engineer to review Roger Dickinson’s analysis and make a recommendation to the board (this cost would be at the applicant’s expense). These options have been conveyed to the applicant with no response. In summary, the LDRs are clear, objective, and unyielding: based on ITE data, this application cannot be approved.

The land uses at the Bradley project are not ones associated with internal capture trips; they are very distinct and separate. It’s hard to make a case that people would make one trip to this property to visit more than one of its land uses. In the abstract, this project likely has no to minimal impact and would be approvable if not for the TOD cap set at 12.42 trips.

Attached are two spreadsheets that show the internal capture calculations per ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 2nd ed. With 4 residential units, the total trips is reduced from 12.96 to 10.98. With 4 residential units, the reduction is from 13.58 to 11.36. Both 10.98 and 11.36 are below the 12.42 trip budget. I readily admit that there are several problems with this analysis. One is that it is literally splitting hairs. Calculating vehicle trips and internal capture rates to two decimal places is not something I'm completely comfortable with. Added to that is the small size of this application and the fact that the mix of uses are not ones that readily lend themselves to internal capture between them. I'm willing to tell Joel that I can't help him if you don't think this is credible.

The amendment consists of adding one dwelling unit to the three unit multi family dwelling, 428-434 Shelburne Road. The Development Review Board held a public hearing on December 17, 2013 and January 7, 2014. Jeffrey Noyes represented the applicant. Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant is seeking to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 6,920 sq. ft. building which includes 2,429 sq. ft. of general office use and three (3) dwelling units, and 2) a 6,708 sq. ft. detached accessory with two dwelling units. The amendment consists of adding one dwelling unit to the three unit multi family dwelling, 428-434 Shelburne Road. 2. The owner of record of the subject property is Queen City, LLC. 3. The subject property is located in the Commercial 1/Residential 15 Zoning District 4. The application was received on October 10, 2013. 5. The plans submitted consist of a seven (7) page set of plans; page one (1) entitled “Site Plan Proposed Renovations To 434 Shelburne Road Queen City, LLC 428-434 Shelburne Road South Burlington, VT 05403”, prepared by Queen City, LLC, dated 8-30-12, last revised on 8/23/13. Density 6. At 15 units/acre, the maximum residential density of the parcel is eight (8) units. This proposal will bring the total number of units to six (6). SUBDIVISION CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions: Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the project. #SD-13-33 - 2 – F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\SD_13_33_428_434ShelburneRoad_QueenCityLLC_ffd.doc 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. 7. There are no changes proposed to the water service. The parcel is served by public water. 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. 8. There are no changes proposed to the sewer system. The parcel is served by public sewer. 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. 9. The Board finds that there is no proposed exterior construction and therefore no need for additional grading plans or erosion control measures. The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. Access to the subject lot currently exists as an egress, right-turn-only to Shelburne Road, and from one two- directional point on White Place. 10. There is good circulation around the existing and proposed buildings. Parking 11. A discussion of parking can be found in the site plan review section of this decision. Traffic 12. As 2,920 square feet of general office is being converted to residential use (one unit), the changes proposed will result in a reduction in the number of P.M. peak hour trip ends. 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. 13. There are no wetlands on the subject property. 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. 14. The Board finds that the proposed project is in keeping with the planned development patterns of the C1-R15 Zoning District. 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. #SD-13-33 - 3 – F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\SD_13_33_428_434ShelburneRoad_QueenCityLLC_ffd.doc 15. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. This is among the most dense and most urban areas in the City. Large areas of open space would be uncommon and unfitting. Furthermore, there are no changes to the site plan proposed. 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. 16. There is no need for review by the Fire Chief as part of this application. 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. Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards. 17. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). 18. The Board finds that the proposed PUD is in conformance with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, “Commercial Centers. These areas generally follow the Shelburne Road and Williston Road Corridors…. The City encourages mixed use development in these areas (e.g. mixed residential/commercial or mixed retail/office/restaurant) to encourage pedestrian pavement, use of public transportation services, and shared parking opportunities” (p.27) 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: Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site 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. 19. No new buildings are proposed on the site, nor are there any changes proposed to the access on site. #SD-13-33 - 4 – F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\SD_13_33_428_434ShelburneRoad_QueenCityLLC_ffd.doc 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. (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 parking areas located to the side of building(s) at the building line shall not exceed one half of the width of all building(s) located at the building line. Parking approved pursuant to 14.06(B)(2)(b) shall be exempt from this subsection. (d) For through lots, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the front of the building adjacent to the public street with the lowest average daily volume of traffic. Where a lot abuts an Interstate or its interchanges, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the front adjacent to the Interstate. Parking areas adjacent to the Interstate shall be screened with sufficient landscaping to screen the parking from view of the Interstate. Based on the submittal, the Board finds that sufficient parking exists on the site; required parking is as follows:  Six dwelling units: 14 spaces at 2 per unit plus 1 per 4 units Thus, 14 spaces are required; 19 spaces are shown on the previously approved site plan, one of which is designated for handicap parking. As stated above, parking must be located to the sides and rear of buildings, except under specific circumstances. In these case, the buildings on the lot are pre-existing and therefore subsection (b)(iv) applies. #SD-13-33 - 5 – F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\SD_13_33_428_434ShelburneRoad_QueenCityLLC_ffd.doc The property in this case includes two pre-existing buildings. The Board approved the location of parking in 2011 and 2013 when the other residential units were approved. Subsection iv above exempts the site from changes to parking based on this application. 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. 20. No new buildings are proposed on the site. Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. 21. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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. 22. No new buildings are proposed on the site. 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. 23. No new structures are proposed on the site. 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: 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. 24. The Board finds that access drives to adjacent properties are not warranted in this case. The site eliminated a curb cut as part of a recent DRB approval. 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. 25. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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). #SD-13-33 - 6 – F:\USERS\Planning & Zoning\Development Review Board\Findings_Decisions\2013\SD_13_33_428_434ShelburneRoad_QueenCityLLC_ffd.doc 26. The plan does not show any dumpsters or trash facilities as no dumpsters are proposed. Landscaping Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening shall be required for all uses subject to site plan and PUD review. Section 13.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations requires parking facilities to be curbed and landscaped with appropriate trees, shrubs, and other plants including ground covers. 27. Pursuant to Section 13.06(B) (4) of the Land Development Regulations, snow storage areas must be shown on the plans. The plans show adequate snow storage areas for the subject property. Landscaping budget requirements are to be determined pursuant to Section 13.06(G) (2) of the SBLDR. The landscape plan and landscape budget shall be prepared by a landscape architect or professional landscape designer. 28. No additional landscaping is required as part of this application. Lighting Pursuant to Appendix A.9 of the Land Development Regulations, luminaries shall not be placed more than 30’ above ground level and the maximum illumination at ground level shall not exceed an average of three (3) foot candles. Pursuant to Appendix A.10(b) of the Land Development Regulations, indirect glare produced by illumination at ground level shall not exceed 0.3 foot candles maximum, and an average of 0.1 foot candles average. All lighting shall be shielded and downcast. 29. All lighting on the property shall comply with the standards set forth in the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. DECISION Motion by ****, seconded by ****, to approve preliminary & final plat application #SD-13-33 of Queen City, LLC subject to the following conditions: 1. All previous approvals and stipulations which are not superseded by this approval shall remain in effect. 2.

SUBDIVISION CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions: 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. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch Water will be provided by the existing 8” main from Meadowland Drive which presently serves the building and fire hydrant. 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 will be served by the existing 6” PVC service line connected to the gravity sewer main on Thompson Street. The applicant must obtain a final wastewater allocation prior to issuance of a zoning permit. 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 must 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. The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. The applicant seeks a second curb cut serving the property, to be located on Meadowland Drive. Along with proposed architectural improvements to the building, the purpose is to create an enhanced approach to the building for clients and visitors. This additional curb cut had been prohibited in a prior permit proceeding, when Meadowland Drive was contemplated to become a through road to South Brownell Road in Williston. For various reasons, including those cited in the applicant’s engineer’s narrative (included in packet), the likelihood of this existing dead end street becoming a through road is rather slim. While one must be cautious when considering ‘undoing’ a former permit condition or prohibition such as this that was important in a prior approval, it makes sense to consider it when the underlying need, reason, or premise no longer exists. Given the circumstances here, in this case, Staff believes this a reasonable request. 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. 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 CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch employment and business growth. The location and architectural design of buildings in a manner that preserves these qualities is strongly encouraged. Staff believes the proposed project conforms with the stated purpose of the IO District. 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 plan proposes greenspace along the westerly and northerly boundaries adjacent to similar greenspace on the adjacent properties. 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 will review this proposal prior to preliminary plat review. 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. 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. 3. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). Staff believes the proposed development of this property conforms with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. 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: CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch 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. This project is different than many others. Rather than seeking a waiver of otherwise required parking, this applicant seeks to construct more parking than required in the LDRs, based on their belief as to what is needed to reasonably and functionally serve their business. The applicant acknowledges that this proposal takes the property to the 50% maximum overall site coverage permitted in this IO zoning district, and proposes a stormwater management plan that is sized accordingly. Any subsequent approval should note for the record that maximum site coverage has been reached under the present LDRs. That said, the application notes that possible future, yet additional building expansion has been considered in this proposed site design, so that this could be accommodated within the 50% coverage limit (presumably, by building on present or proposed parking areas). Further, and according to the applicant, the State stormwater permit also limits lot coverage to 50%. 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. Chapter 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations states the following: 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. (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 parking areas located to the side of building(s) at the building line shall not exceed one half of the width of all building(s) located at the building line. Parking approved pursuant to 14.06(B)(2)(b) shall be exempt from this subsection. (d) For through lots, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch front of the building adjacent to the public street with the lowest average daily volume of traffic. Where a lot abuts an Interstate or its interchanges, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the front adjacent to the Interstate. Parking areas adjacent to the Interstate shall be screened with sufficient landscaping to screen the parking from view of the Interstate. Most of the parking areas are located to the side and rear of the building. However, there are two parking spaces at the ‘front’ corner of the property along Meadowland Drive that either require a waiver from the DRB or must be removed from the site plan. The Board has the authority to allow such front yard parking for the handicapped spaces, but not for the standard spaces across the parking aisle from those. 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. 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. 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. This criterion is met. 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. This criterion is met. 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: 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. A future access area is proposed to be reserved to the property to the west in the event that that adjacent lot is developed, and the Board finds it necessary to have connections between the two properties. 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. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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. Landscaping and Screening Requirements Limited details are provided. Several trees located within or the new, proposed driveway would either have to be removed, moved, or have significant protection provided during construction. It is likely that most of the spruces can stay; and at least one of the oaks will have to be moved or replaced in order to survive construction and subsequent snowplowing and site maintenance. A landscape plan and schedule, with costs, must be included as a part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat review. Pursuant to Section 13.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations, snow storage areas must be specified and located in an area that will minimize the potential for run-off. No snow storage areas are proposed. This must be shown on the site plan for preliminary plat review. View Protection Zone This property is located within the Airport Approach Cone and the Hinesburg Road-North Scenic View Protection Overlay District, and is thus subject to Section 10.03(H) of the LDRs. Specifically, no part of any structure within the zone shall 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 Protection Overlay District Map. By way of example from the adjoining Super-Temp property, based on the location of that building and its distance from the Base Line, the maximum allowable elevation there is 413.5 feet above sea level. Although the proposed building height for Logic Supply will comply with the 35-foot maximum and no waiver for roof mounted equipment is proposed, a similar calculation must be provided here on the elevation of the building related to mean sea level. This information is required as part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat review. Other The new proposed curb cut and other relevant matters should be reviewed by the Department of Public Works prior to preliminary plat review. The “existing sign” and associated notations must be removed from all future plans. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_38_35 ThompsonSt_Logic Supply_sketch.docsketch Recommendation: Presuming affirmative feedback and agreement between applicant and the Board on the matters noted above, it appears that this application is ready to move forward (in more complete fashion) to preliminary plat review.

The Development Review Board held a public hearing on January 7, 2014. The applicant was represented by Dave Marshall, P.E. Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant, Super-Temp Wire & Cable, seeks Preliminary & Final Plat approval for a planned unit development to construct a 27,500 sq. ft. manufacturing facility at 104 Bowdoin Street. 2. The owner of record of the subject property is Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc. 3. The subject property is located in the Industrial & Open Space Zoning District. 4. The application was received on November 15, 2013. 5. The plan submitted consists of a seventeen (17) page set of plans, page one entitled, “Super-Temp Realty, LLC New Manufacturing Facility Bowdoin Street South Burlington Vermont”, prepared by Civil Engineering Associates, dated Nov. 2013 and received on 11/15/13.

Therefore the applicant is requesting a waiver of 7.5 feet from the normal limit of 35’ for a flat roofed building. The Board finds this waiver acceptable as 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. Applicant should submit to the Administrative Officer a copy of any response that may have been received. SUBDIVISION CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions: 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. The applicant shall obtain a final wastewater allocation prior to issuance of a zoning permit. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has indicated he has no comments. 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 in Section 16.03 of the LDRs. In addition, the grading plan shall meet the standards in Section 16.04 of the LDRs. 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). #SD-13-39 3 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc 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. 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. The Board finds nothing to suggest that this project will create unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. 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. There are no wetlands, streams, or wildlife habitat on the site. 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. The proposed building is compatible with surrounding and planned development patterns in this zoning district. This criterion is satisfied. 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. As there is significant open space in the southern portion of the property, the Board finds this criterion satisfied. 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 deployment of the aerial ladder, hoselines, portable ladders and other firefighting equipment. #SD-13-39 4 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc 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 has agreed to comply with the first five of the Chief’s comments but has not agreed to item #6. The Board should discuss this issue and make a determination as to whether an additional fire hydrant should be installed. 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. The subject property contains a 20’ wide recreation path easement which straddles the northern property boundary. This criterion is satisfied. 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. This criterion is satisfied. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). The Board finds that the proposed project is in conformance with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. 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: 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. #SD-13-39 5 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc A September 12, 2013 email from the applicant’s representative to Staff 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. Based upon the information submitted, the Board finds the parking waiver acceptable. If and when needed, additional parking can be created on site. Chapter 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations states the following: 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. (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 parking areas located to the side of building(s) at the building line shall not exceed one half of the width of all building(s) located at the building line. Parking approved pursuant to 14.06(B)(2)(b) shall be exempt from this subsection. (d) For through lots, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the front of the building adjacent to the public street with the lowest average daily volume of #SD-13-39 6 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc traffic. Where a lot abuts an Interstate or its interchanges, parking shall be located to the side of the building(s) or to the front adjacent to the Interstate. Parking areas adjacent to the Interstate shall be screened with sufficient landscaping to screen the parking from the view of the Interstate. Section 13.01(G) (5) requires that bicycle parking or storage facilities are provided for employees, residents, and visitors to the site. Parking is located to the side and rear of the building. A bicycle rack is shown on the plan. This criterion is satisfied. 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. A photo illustration of the proposed building has been submitted, showing how the building would look upon the landscape when viewed from Hinesburg Road. Further, 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”. The Board finds that the building is consistent with others in the area. This criterion is met. Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. 6. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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. 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. A photo illustration of the proposed building has been submitted, showing how the building would look upon the landscape when viewed from Hinesburg Road. Further, 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 #SD-13-39 7 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc Cone. Maximum permitted building height is 413.5’ above MSL; proposed height, with the 7.5’ height waiver sought, is 400’ above MSL”. The Board finds that the building is consistent with others in the area. The Board finds these criteria satisfied. 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 one preliminary line sketch of the building, as well as a 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. The proposed project is located in a business park in an area where industrial uses already exist. The Board finds the scale of the proposed building compatible with existing buildings in the area, and the waiver request acceptable; thus, 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: 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, the Board does not find access to the adjacent property necessary. #SD-13-39 8 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc 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. As noted above, pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. 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 enclosure is shown on the plans. The Board finds this requirement satisfied. Landscaping Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening shall be required for all uses subject to site plan and PUD review. Section 13.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations requires parking facilities to be curbed and landscaped with appropriate trees, shrubs, and other plants including ground covers. Pursuant to Section 13.06(B) (4) of the Land Development Regulations, snow storage areas must be shown on the plans. The plans depict a snow storage area. Landscaping budget requirements are to be determined pursuant to Section 13.06(G) (2) of the SBLDR. The landscape plan and landscape budget shall be prepared by a landscape architect or professional landscape designer. The applicant has submitted a landscape list and plan showing 31 large evergreen trees, 16 deciduous trees, and 42 small evergreen shrubs, with a total cost of $27,375 (note that the application form itself states an incorrect value of $23,375). The required landscape value expenditure is $27,372.25, based on a total building cost of $1,987,225. The City Arborist has reviewed the landscaping plan, and had two recommendations in an unsigned memo dated 12/13/13: As it will mature into a large tree, move the Norway Spruce further away from the Swiss Stone Pines and the free standing sign at the entrance to the property; and Intermix other conifer species with the White Cedars on the northern border of the property. The above changes were made to the plans and have been approved by the City Arborist. The proposed parking areas contain 26 parking spaces, and therefore is not required to be landscaped in accordance with Section 13.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations. The Board finds this criterion satisfied. Lighting #SD-13-39 9 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc Pursuant to Appendix A.9 of the Land Development Regulations, luminaries shall not be placed more than 30’ above ground level and the maximum illumination at ground level shall not exceed an average of three (3) foot candles. Pursuant to Appendix A.10(b) of the Land Development Regulations, indirect glare produced by illumination at ground level shall not exceed 0.3 foot candles maximum, and an average of 0.1 foot candles average. All lighting shall be shielded and downcast. The applicant has submitted a lighting point by point plan and lighting cut-sheets. This requirement is satisfied. 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 SBLDR. Specifically, no part of any structure within the zone shall 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 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.” As the proposed building complies with this provision of the LDRs, the DRB finds this criterion satisfied. Other The plans show all ground mounted HVAC units, generators, and utility cabinets. The plans shall be revised to remove the free-standing sign from the site plan. 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, #SD-13-39 10 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc 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. [David Marshall] This project is subject to an existing stormwater discharge permit issued by the State of Vermont. This permit limits the peak flow from this property, it limits lot coverage to no more than 50% and requires water quality practices to be employed. 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. 4. In a future submission the application should provide more information on the pond outlet structure. Note: application documents have been updated to include this information. 5. Where does water flow once it exits the pond outlet structure and DMH#1? [David Marshall] This is conveyed to the cross culvert beginning at CB#36. Will it flow to CB#36, located on Bowdoin Street? [David Marshall] Yes 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?[David Marshall] Yes. We have completed the modeling of the entire watershed draining to the City Infrastructure and have found that with the peak flow mitigation on Lot 5 – Northeast Territories (Neagley & Chase Contractor’s facility) and the peak flow management on the Super-Temp property, that despite the limiting conditions associated with the existing infrastructure, that it does have the capacity to pass the 25-year design storm. The key to minimizing impact on the municipal infrastructure was to convey as much of the flows within the parallel ditch instead of direct connections into the street collection system. We have attached the HydroCad modeling and summary and will follow up under a separate e-mail the supporting nomograph information. 6. The DRB should include a condition requiring the applicant to regularly maintain all stormwater treatment and conveyance structures on-site. The Director of Public Works has indicated to staff that he has no further comments and he is satisfied with the responses below. 3. The applicant should provide more information on the pond outlet structure. Please find attached a typical detail for the stormwater pond outlet structure. This is the same structure previously approved for use on the Super-Temp Wire & Cable project immediately to the north. 4. Will the drainage infrastructure under Bowdoin street and downstream to Potash Brook be able to convey additional runoff from the site during the 25-year, 24-hour storm event without surcharging? Provide information (modeling, etc.) as necessary to show that it will. This infrastructure was never intended to covey that level of peak flow. The key is to ensure that the building and area drains do not backwater in a manner that impacts this or adjacent properties. All of the sites on the east side of the roadway sit well above the existing road and are not subject to any backwater issues. The DRB should include a condition requiring the applicant to regularly maintain all stormwater treatment and conveyance structures on-site. 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. #SD-13-39 11 SD_13_39_104 Bowdoin Street_Super-Temp Realty Company, Inc_ffd.doc This criterion is met.

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.

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.

The maximum height of any structure shall not exceed those allowed within the Table of Uses and Dimensional Standards (Appendix C). Maximum height is 28’ as measured to the average grade/pitch of the roof. Proposed height should be clarified for the record. 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 The applicant is proposing four units, each 2800 sq. ft. in size (0.064 acres in size). It is worth discussing with the applicant whether these lots are of sufficient size to allow construction of both the original homes, and the additions or expansions (decks, storage sheds, and the like) that are inevitably desired over time. These four units adjoin City-owned open space to the north. The rear (north) boundary of these lots should be delineated with a split rail fence or in a similar, landscape-friendly manner so as to prevent intrusion of private uses onto public land. (2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the Regulating Plan for the applicable subdistrict allowing carefully planned development at the average densities provided in this bylaw. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch Building lots are consistent with the existing neighborhood. The street already exists. 9.07 Regulating Plans A. Description and Regulatory Effect. The regulatory text of this Article is supplemented with illustrations, officially known as the Regulating Plan, illustrating the dimensional and design concepts. The Regulating Plan contains basic land planning and neighborhood design criteria that are intended to foster attractive and walkable neighborhood development patterns. Design criteria and guidelines set forth below are intended to address basic neighborhood design relationships related to scale, connectivity, and overall orientation that promote pedestrian friendly development as follows in Section 9.07(C). The Regulating Plan is an illustrative guide; it does not have the same force of regulation as does the text in this bylaw. However, the Development Review Board will refer to both the Regulating Plan and the text of this section in its project reviews B. General Provisions (1) The Regulating Plan shall apply to new development within the SEQNRT, SEQ-NR, SEQ-VR and SEQ-VC sub-districts. (2) All residential lots created on or after the effective date of this bylaw in any SEQ sub-district shall conform to a standard minimum lot width to depth ratio of one to two (1:2), with ratios of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. 4. Lot #32 exists today with the original house, and as approved in the original decision. No changes are proposed to the dimensions nor proportions of this lot. C. Street, Block and Lot Patterns (1) Overall Criteria: Development criteria within the Street, Block and Lot Pattern section are intended to provide pedestrian-scaled development patterns and an interconnected system of streets that allow direct and efficient walking and bicycling trips, and decrease circuitous vehicular trips. (2) Street Design: The intention of street design criteria is to provide a system of attractive, pedestrian- oriented streets that encourage slower speeds, maximize connections between and within neighborhoods, and contribute to neighborhood livability. (3) Building Design: The intention of the building design guidelines is to ensure that new housing and commercial development reinforce a pedestrian-friendly environment, while allowing creativity in design. The street already exists. Proposed lots are generally consistent with the existing neighborhood, although more rectangular in shape. It should be confirmed that a sidewalk exists today across lot #32. (3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant. Common open space already exists as lot #36, 15.16 acres in size, from the original project approval. It includes a stormwater pond, open field, wetland area, and wooded land. 5. The common land must remain undeveloped, and available for use by all residents of the PUD. Association documents shall also include provisions for maintenance of the land. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch (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 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. Comments on the proposed plans shall be sought from the Director of Public Works and the City Stormwater Superintendent as a part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat review. 6. 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. (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. There do not appear to be any wetland areas on lot #32. 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. See discussion under Section 9.06(B) 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. (1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity shall be available to meet the needs of the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirements, as evidenced by a City water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater Permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation. 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. According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the subdivider or developer shall connect to the public sewer system, as proposed here. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch 7. The applicant shall obtain final wastewater allocation for each unit prior to eventual issuance of any zoning permit, if these four units are approved. (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. No changes are proposed to any prior agreements and approvals. (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. Comments shall be sought from the Fire Chief as a part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat review. 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. As the street already exists, and the proposed lots are consistent with the development pattern in the existing neighborhood, circulation on the site should be adequate. (1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. The previously approved plans already provide for potential connections to adjacent properties, planned and unplanned, developed and undeveloped. (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. Should be OK per prior project approval. (3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D) (4) related to connections between adjacent streets and neighborhoods shall apply. Should be OK per prior project approval, as shown on the plans. 9.09 SEQ-VR Sub-District; Specific Standards CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 8 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch The SEQ-VR 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 400 linear feet; see Figure 9-2 for example. If longer block lengths are unavoidable blocks 400 feet or longer must include mid-block public sidewalk or recreation path connections. (2) Interconnection of Streets (a) Average spacing between intersections shall be 300 to 400 feet. (b) Dead end streets (e.g. culs de sac) are 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). (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. Should be OK per prior project approval. (4) Lot ratios. Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. As noted, the proposed lots have a width to depth ratio of 1:1.75 (40’ wide, 70’ deep). These do not meet the standard. B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards (1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) in the VR 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 9-3 and 9-4, and Figures 9-8 and 9-9 below. Table 9-4: Street Design Criteria for Local Streets, VR and VC Design Speed 25 mph Pavement width (parking one side) 26’ Pavement width (parallel parking both sides) 34’ With no parking 24’ at wetland crossings 18’ Minimum radius of curves 200’ Minimum tangent length between curves 50’ Minimum distance between centerline offsets 150’ Minimum vertical sight distance 150’ Minimum horizontal sight distance 275’ CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 9 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch Figure 9-9: Pavement Dimensions, Local Streets, SEQ-VR The street already exists. (2) Sidewalks (a) Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet (5’) in width with an additional minimum five-foot planting strip (green space) separating the sidewalk from the street. (b) 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. It should be confirmed that a sidewalk exists today across the frontage of lot #32. (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 Figure 9-6 and Section 9.08(B) (5). (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. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 10 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch These already exist in the neighborhood; are changes or additions proposed across lot #32? 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. (a) Buildings should be set back fifteen feet (15’) from the back of sidewalk. (b) 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. House designs should be submitted as a part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat approval. (4) Placement of Garages and Parking. See Section 9.08(C) (4) and Figure 9-7. The applicant should submit architectural renderings of all proposed homes for preliminary plat review. (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. Information should be submitted on this as part of a complete submittal for preliminary plat review. LANDSCAPING- Street Trees Pursuant to Chapter 9 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the following applies with respect to street trees: Street Trees (a) Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet wide. (b) Street tree types 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. Street trees exist today across lot #32. LANDSCAPING- Bonding CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 11 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING SD_13_40_111UpsweptLn_4unitPUD_sketch Bonding is required for any new street tree planting or landscaping. OTHER- Street Name The street is already named Upswept Lane. OTHER-Curbing Section 15.12 of the LDRs requires that all streets have curbing. It should be confirmed that curbing exists along the street, unless waived for a Low Impact Development approach (which likely did not exist at the time of the original approval/ construction of this neighborhood. (a) A stormwater drainage facility is proposed on the plans; this must be reviewed by City Staff as a part of preliminary plat review. Ultimately, as a part of any subsequent final plat approval, the stormwater drainage plans must be submitted to Heindel & Noyes for incorporation into the city’s stormwater and hydrology computer model. RECOMMENDATION As noted above, there are several questions still to be answered before the Board can give clear guidance to the applicant whether to proceed with preliminary plat review. Respectfully submitted, ______________________________ Raymond Belair, Administrative Officer Copy to: Andrew Rowe, Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers, Inc.

Members Present: M. Behr, Chair; M. Sirotkin, A. Klugo, B. Miller Also Present: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; D. Marshall, G. Rabideau, B. Dousevicz, M. Spear, D. Lawes, C. Ingalls, S. St. Onge, B. Singh 1. Other Business/Announcements: No announcements were made. 2. Continued Site Plan Application #SD-13-33 of South Village Communities, LLC, to construct two 12-unit multi-family dwellings and one ten-unit multi-family dwelling, 74, 110 and 144 South Jefferson Avenue: Mr. Rabideau said these will be three similar buildings. They have corrected the off-site landscaping. One remaining tree will be moved 10 feet to the south. The city arborist is OK with the plan. Mr. Behr said they can deal with the tree as a condition. A PVC fence will enclose the dumpster. The location is now indicated. There is also an indication that snow storage will be off-site. Mr. Marshall said they changed the luminaries to something more fitting for the site and are now in compliance. Mr. Klugo asked about road construction. Mr. Belair said the applicant will need a permit to build some phases of the road, including this phase. Mr. Marshall said the applicant has bonded for their portions of the road but will have to bond for the rest to comply with the approval. Mr. Barritt then moved to close the hearing. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Preliminary Plat Application #SD-13-03 and 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 showed a plan of the area with the location of this property and identifying the future expansion of Swift Street which is on the official city map. The other road for this development is also on the official city map. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 2 Mr. Rabideau indicated Wheeler Park, some area of the golf course and land involved in the settlement land swap. Mr. Rabideau then indicated a few areas of Class 3 wetlands running diagonally through the parcel. He also indicated the zoning boundary and the inclusion of some “Village Commercial” zoning. They are proposing a central open area (2+ acres) which will be dedicated to the city as a park. They are also proposing an east-west recreation path connector to the north-south recreation path on the eastern boundary of the parcel. There will be a number of pods of residential (52 units) in the “Village Residential” area. They will tie into existing utilities including a water loop to the system on Hinesburg Road and natural gas from Hinesburg Road. Stormwater will be collected and brought down into the Southeast Quadrant. The 52 residential units require the use of TDRs. They bring these in from the Southeast Quadrant with soils equal to or better than this area. Ten percent of the residential units will be offered at a price that qualifies as “affordable.” Units will run in the $240,000-$258,000 range. Mr. Behr asked if there are deed restrictions as to how long you have to hold onto the property. Mr. Dousevicz said the state has such restrictions via capital gains. Mr. Klugo asked how you pre-qualify people for the affordable units. The applicant said they don’t; however, Champlain Housing Trust is interested in purchasing the units, and that’s the road they’d like to go. He explained the process. Mr. Sirotkin asked if the applicant has an option for the TDRs. Mr. Dousevicz said they do and are close to a final agreement. Mr. Marshall reviewed the amount of roadway being proposed, including a connector from Oak Creek Drive. Public Works has asked to have pavements adjusted, and they will do this as part of final plat. Mr. Rabideau cited the importance of having the bike path connection from Hinesburg Road into the main part of Dorset Park. Concern was expressed for safe crossing. Mr. Marshall noted the additional sidewalk areas. The intersection will have lights in the future, with a supported pedestrian crossing. There are no protected crossings on Hinesburg Rd. until Kennedy Drive. You have to prove there is adequate usage before you can get that; it is like “putting the cart before the horse” and is very frustrating. Mr. Belair noted the list of waivers being requested. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 3 Mr. Marshall asked what type of setback there is from Hinesburg Road for commercial structures as the three standards don’t agree: there is a 50-foot + 7 feet for future widening (from which there is no waiver) and also values to bring buildings closer to the street. They need to know what the Board wants. Mr. Marshall noted the conceptual plan requires no waivers. The question is whether the Board wants something closer to the street or the 57-foot setback. Mr. Rabideau noted that building coverage is 15% and lot coverage is 30%, but the city doesn’t want to see small buildings on large lots as that is not a “village concept.” He added that without a change in the zoning regulations that is what you will get. Mr. Klugo felt it makes sense to have a live/work concept here, possibly stores below with residences above. The question is how to get that. Mr. Marshall cited the desire to create something more”human” in scale. Mr. Behr noted that if you push buildings closer to Hinesburg Road, you pull them away from the residential area and vice versa. The question is how to create a pedestrian feel. He was leaning to keeping buildings closer to the residential area. Mr. Rabideau said if the DRB can relax coverage numbers, he would agree with that. The piece near Hinesburg Road could be a village green and there could be a more creative look at parking and a more creative plan. He said if they can get a straw vote on this, they are willing to come back with a plan. Mr. Behr felt the Board needed to discuss this and see what kind of impact it might create. Mr. Rabideau noted that with setbacks on both sides of the buildings, you will end up with parking between the buildings. There is an opportunity to be more creative, but the question is how to get there. Mr. Klugo said he was open to seeing something roughly drawn to create the type of place the city wants. He didn’t want to lose the opportunity for what could be. Mr. Behr agreed. He liked the concept and didn’t want to see it fall flat because of the limitations of the regulations. Mr. Sirotkin asked if there is flexibility to waive the 57-feet given the specificity of the regulations. Mr. Belair said there is. The Board can modify all dimensional requirements up to a certain limit based on specific proposals. They can’t get closer to the property line than 5 feet and can’t increase overall coverage, but within those limitations the Board can pick and choose the waivers it will give. Mr. Marshall noted that 50 feet is the setback standard on Swift St. Extension. They would like buildings closer to the walkway (he showed the pod of single family buildings). Mr. Belair said they are requesting a 5' setback required from Swift St. Extension as opposed to the 50 feet. Mr. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 4 Marshall agreed, depending on how front porches are counted. It would be 30 feet from the end of the traveled way/pavement. Mr. Behr noted there had previously been issues of snow removal especially when the city is using big snow blowers and snow can be blown onto porches. Mr. Klugo said he would like to see a classic line of row houses along the street. He suggested putting a 4-unit building there to create an experience that doesn’t now exist in South Burlington. Mr. Rabideau though that was a great idea. Mr. Barritt expressed concern with speeds on that road with people entering Dorset Park and going fast down the hill. He didn’t want people living too close to the road. Mr. Parsons asked if these will be town homes. Mr. Rabideau said a person would own their own lot house with common back yards. This makes an affordable component possible. The houses could be moved back a bit, but they want to continue a “dialog” between the front drive and sidewalk. Mr. Behr did not want to see another Nowland Farm Road with houses so far back. Members generally supported what the applicant presented regarding the commercial lots. They agreed they did not want buildings sitting in the middle of an open space. Mr. Klugo didn’t feel parking was needed for each business and that pavement could be kept to a minimum. Mr. Behr noted the 2 separate entrances and suggested something more creative. Mr. Rabideau said flexibility could make that possible. Mr. Sirotkin said if the lots are angled, he would like to see the bike path closer to Swift Street for safety. Mr. Barritt said he has an issue with new development coming into pre-existing neighborhoods, especially with commercial development. He asked if there’s something aesthetic the applicant can do to address a 4-story building where neighbors didn’t expect one next to them. Mr. Rabideau said he would be happy to try to address that. Mr. Marshall said they feel their stormwater plan will help address recent stormwater issues. They are having a dialog with the Stormwater Superintendent and are working on a plan. Public Works has asked that any buildings be protected from backwater flow. That was the issue this summer. Mr. Behr asked if there is a phasing plan. Mr. Marshall said the portion of Swift St. Extension DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 5 will come first, then the commercial, then the multi-family and cottages. Mr. Belair noted 21 units is the base, and the applicant will need 31 TDRs. Mr. Marshall said there are many ways to split that up. Mr. Belair noted the turning radius waiver for traffic calming is supported by Public Works. Mr. Marshall said this is the same radius as approved for South Village. Members were OK with this. Mr. Belair then enumerated other waivers the applicant is asking for including: 11,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size instead of 12,000 42% building coverage down from 15% 10-foot front yard setback instead of 20 feet rear setback of 20 feet instead of 30 feet 50% coverage for multi-family units instead of 15% multi-family setbacks of 10 feet instead of 20 feet Mr. Rabideau said they feel it is possible to create lot lines that would allow greater coverage. A lot of the waivers for the cottage homes are because of the bigger central open space. Mr. Klugo said he is in favor of decreasing the lot size but not the building coverage to 42%. He felt the 42% would allow a “McMansion” on that kind of lot. Mr. Behr agreed. He was also OK with reduced lot sizes. Mr. Klugo noted that multi-family buildings show one entrance to the buildings. He felt each unit should be able to have its own entrance. Mr. Dousevicz felt it is possible to do that. Mr. Rabideau said they will provide elevations for all types of buildings. Mr. Belair explained how the approval process could work for various types of houses and the commercial buildings. Mr. Klugo asked that the rear setback waiver request be reconsidered so people can have more use of backyards. Mr. Behr asked for audience comment. There was none. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 6 Mr. Barritt then moved to continue #SD-13-03 to 15 October 2013. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Miscellaneous Application #MS-13-02 of Mike Spear requesting a waiver from the Spear Street-Ridge View Protection Zone to allow a dormer to project into the view protection zone, 3 Whatley Road: Mr. Spear indicated that the property is adjacent to Spear Street which is in the Spear Street view corridor. He said there is a break where you can see into the back of this residence. He showed a plan with the proposed dormer. It is below all other heights and would not be visible from Spear Street. There is now a room on that level of the house now. Mr. Belair said staff has no issues. He noted the regulations were written to allow something like this. Members had no issues. Mr. Barritt moved to close #MS-13-02. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Miscellaneous Application #MS-13-03 of Paul Steinman seeking approval to install a landscape feature for the Heatherfield residential complex, Songbird Road: Mr. Lawes said they want to put in a sign at the entrance at Songbird Road and Dorset St. The sign is 7'8" x 4' tall and 9" wide. There was a temporary sign that was taken down and they want a permanent one with a stone facing. Mr. Belair stressed that the Board would not be approving the sign; it would be approving only the landscape feature on which a sign may be placed. He said what is proposed complies with all regulations. No issues were raised. Mr. Barritt moved to close the hearing. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Conditional Use Application #CU-13-03 & Site Plan Review Application #SP-13- 39 of 30 Community Drive, LLC, for after-the-fact approval for a 14.5 foot high chain link fence enclosing a previously approved emergency generator, 30 Community Drive: Mr. St. Onge said they had site plan approval for the generator enclosure. There is one there now. At the time of submission, they didn’t know the height of the generator. After it was installed, they put in the 14-foot high fence and now need approval for it. He showed a plan with landscaping around the generator area. The landscaping is new and will fill in with time. He DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 7 also showed photos of the fence. Mr. St. Onge noted there is potential for another generator. Mr. Behr thought the landscaping a little sparse. Mr. Klugo asked if it is consistent with what was approved. Mr. Belair said the requirement was to shield the generator from adjacent properties, not from itself. Mr. Klugo was disappointed that this was an after-the-fact approval which didn’t show good faith in creating what the DRB was talking about. He asked if the Board has to approve it. Mr. Behr agreed and wanted to explore further options for screening the fence. Mr. Klugo wanted the applicant to come back with a proposal for more landscaping. He felt they could have had a vinyl coated fence if there had been a chance to review it. Mr. Barritt asked for better pictures. Mr. Behr said they want a realistic buffering when it’s put in, not some time in the future. Mr. Barritt moved to continue #CU-13-03 and #SP-13-39 until 17 September 2013. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Sketch Plan Application #SD-13-23 of 430 Nest Egg, LLC, to amend a previously approved plan for a multi-use 3,850 sq. ft. building consisting of: 1) 2000 sq. ft. of general office use, 2) 1850 sq. ft. of personal service use, and 3) one dwelling unit. The amendment consists of a planned unit development to expand the building and add two additional dwelling units, 430 Shelburne Road: Mr. Singh said the property is near the city line with Shelburne. The apartment was using the attic and was unsafe. The commercial use is now offices and no longer dog grooming. They have renovated/face-lifted the building. Neighbors are OK with what they want to do. The property is in a C-1 and R-12 district. They have made the attic habitable but haven’t put in fire escapes, etc., as yet. They are asking for a waiver to create a PUD. They would prefer a 2-unit residential use, but have shown a small efficiency as well because the regulations require a third unit. They want to fit into the neighborhood. Mr. Belair noted they are putting the addition to the rear with a fire escape. Most of the work is internal. A setback waiver is requested. The fire escape would be 8 feet from the property line on White Place. The requirement is 30 feet. The addition on the back will also project into the setback. Members agreed with the applicant that the regulations defy logic. Mr. Behr suggested moving the fire escape to the other side which would eliminate one waiver. Mr. Klugo suggested looking at the location of the dumpster in relations to parking. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD September 3, 2013 PAGE 8 Members agreed this is a great improvement to the property. 8. Continued Site Plan Application #SP-13-29 of Bay Court Condominium Association to amend a previously approved plan for a 56 unit condominium complex. The amendment consists of making improvements to the stormwater system, 25 Bay Crest Drive: Mr. Belair noted that staff is asking for a continuance to the next meeting. Mr. Barritt moved to continue #SP-13-29 until 17 September 2013. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 9. Reorganization: Mr. Barritt moved to continue this item to 17 September 2013. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m. _______________________________ Clerk _______________________________ Date DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD NOVEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 1 The South Burlington Development Review Board held a regular meeting on 19 November 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: T. Barritt, Acting Chair, B. Miller, M. Sirotkin, D. Parsons, J. Smith Also Present: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; D. White, D. Bell, R. Rochefort, M. Rochefort, L. Williams, P. Simon, J. Noyes, H. McCann, M. Daval 1. Announcements: No announcements were made. 2. Continued Final Plat application #SD-13-29 of Larry & Leslie Williams to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of a six lot subdivision. The amendment consists of resubdividing the six lots into ten lots, 1630 Dorset Street: Mr. Barritt noted the remaining issues involved the lots adjacent to the hammerhead. There had been a suggestion to indent them a little. Mr. Williams showed the five-foot adjustments which will not be included in the building envelope until the turn-around goes away. No issues were raised. Mr. Miller moved to close the hearing. Mr. Sirotkin seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Continued Site Plan Application #SP-13-47 of Robert & Sheila Rochefort to amend a previously approved plan for a 7,470 sq. ft. auto service & repair facility in two buildings consisting of 5,018 sq. ft. & 2,452 sq. ft. The amendment consists of: 1) constructing a 3,000 sq. ft. addition to the 5,018 sq. ft. building and 2) removing an 826 sq. ft. storage building attached to the 2,452 sq. ft. building, 1877 Williston Road: Mr. Barritt noted the property is in the Potash Brook Surface Water Protection buffer. Ms. Bell said they have reduced the building addition from 3,000 sq. ft. to 2,000 sq. ft. They have also moved snow storage, the trailer, dumpster and bike rack out of the buffer area. They have reduced pavement and lot coverage. The plan includes a stormwater rain garden feature which Ms. Bell showed on the plan. She noted that pavement is being trimmed on the eastern end for the rain garden. Ms. Bell showed how storm water will be directed into the rain garden. She also noted that today 1600 pounds of sediment drains from the site. This will be reduced to 1383 pounds. Mr. Barritt noted they are still 4.7% over the coverage limit. Ms. Bell replied that there is DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD NOVEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 2 nothing in the regulations that says how much reduction is necessary from existing coverage. Mr. Belair noted that in the past the Board has asked for some improvements, a “give and take” situation. The applicant has made some improvements. Mr. Barritt said he would like some of the parking spaces in the stream buffer removed. Mr. Rochefort said that reduction would make it a “no go” situation. It would also create accidents as they couldn’t move trailers around. It was suggested that 2 parking spaces be removed and the area be added to the rain garden. Mr. Rochefort said he could deal with that. Mr. Miller moved to close the hearing. Mr. Sirotkin seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Continued sketch plan application #SD-13-21 of Halverson Development to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 275 seat standard restaurant, 2) a 71 room hotel (Comfort Suites), and 3) an 89 room hotel. The amendment consists of razing the 275 seat restaurant building and constructing a 9,200 sq. ft. retail & restaurant building, 1 Dorset Street: Ms. Bell said the plan is very much changed from the last presentation. They will bring the buildings to the street front to be in compliance with City Center zoning. They will use a shared access with the two hotels. The building will front on Williston Road and a second building will front on Dorset Street. Ms. Bell showed an example of the architecture. There is an interstate highway overlay district along the western edge of the property. They need to know where this returns back to Williston Road. They will then correct the line. Ms. Bell showed the location of doors both on Williston Road and the front parking lot. There will also be a seasonal patio for the restaurant. The property now is 5+ acres. Ms. Bell showed the existing lease line which will be amended. They will need to meet the minimum parking standard for the tenants of these buildings. This will not be any more non-conforming than it is today. Mr. Belair noted there is a parking waiver on this property because of Friendly’s. This will be significantly reduced with this development. There will no longer be a need for a parking waiver. 69 parking spaces are proposed. Ms. Bell noted an existing chain link fence with a vine growing on it. By reducing pavement along the fence, they can reduce the pavement along the interstate highway overlay district. A landscape buffer will enhance the view as people enter the city. Members felt this plan was a huge improvement. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD NOVEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 3 5. Sketch plan application #SD-13-32 of Queen City, LLC, to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 6,920 sq. ft. building which includes 2,429 sq. ft. of general office use and three dwelling units, and 2) a 6,708 sq. ft. detached building with two dwelling units and 512 sq. ft. of accessary use. The amendment consists of: adding one dwelling unit to the three unit multi-family dwelling, 428-434 Shelburne Road: Mr. Noyes said this is a commercial space that they are converting from business offices to residences. They will add one more residence in the brick main building (second floor). Mr. Belair said staff has no issues. All changes are internal. They will be on the next agenda for both preliminary and final plat. Mr. Noyes said the second floor apartment will have its own entrance. No issues were raised by the Board. 6. Conditional Use Application #CU-13-05 of Harold McCann to increase the size of a nonconforming structure (single family dwelling) by adding a 5'x32' deck with an 11'x2' bump out at the end, 1 Lyons Avenue: Mr. Belair said staff has no issues. Mr. McCann showed the existing porch area. They want to extend it to the end of the house and make it a cedar deck facing Red Rocks Park. No issues were raised by the Board. Mr. Miller moved to close the hearing. Mr. Parsons seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Sketch Plan Application #SD-13-34 of Malone Dorset Street Properties, LLC, to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of 1) a 33,733 sq. ft. gfa building with 31,351 sq. ft. (including mezzanine) of retail food establishment use and 2,382 sq. ft. of short-order restaurant use, 2) a 12,800 sq. ft. building for retail food use, and 3) a 14,000 sq. ft. building for retail use. The amendment consists of: 1) resubdividing the lots into three lots and 2) site modification including lighting and architectural revisions to buildings #1 & #2, 200 and 222 Dorset Street & 59 Garden Street: Mr. Simon said they now have a tenant for building #2 (Pier I). It will be all retail. There are also a number of minor site modifications and some new changes from the architects. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD NOVEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 4 Changes to building #1 include additional window on the Garden St. facade and the lowering of all windows on the Dorset Street south facade due to a conflict with some beams. Changes to building #2 include a new design for the second floor windows, including muntins, to be more in keeping with retail use on both floors. 2/3 of the Garden Street facade is clear glass. The Board had no issues with these changes. Mr. Simon noted that signage will be on a separate application. Mr. Belair said staff does not want any signs shown on the plans as the city lost a court case over that issue. The applicant agreed to work with staff to clean up “loose ends.” They also asked to combine preliminary and final plats. 8. Design Review Application #DR-13-04 of Malone Dorset Street Properties, LLC, to amend a previously approved Master Signage Permit for 222 Dorset Street. The amendment consists of including the buildings at 200 Dorset Street and 59 Garden Street into the Master Signage Permit: Mr. Simon said there is a Master Sign Plan for the property, and there was a Master Sign Plan approved for Healthy Living. They want to amend the plan to add Trader Joe’s and Pier I. The sign would be red/white/blue (primary colors). Mr. Simon showed the proposed general location of signs on the plan. The applicant agreed to drop “red” from the language. Ms. Daval of the sign company asked to clarify that they are phasing out a material used for directional signs due to lack of durability. Mr. Belair noted this was not a requirement. Language said signs were “typically made of...” Mr. Miller moved to close the hearing. Mr. Parsons seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 9. Continued Master Plan Application #MP-11-03 and 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 3) constructing 21 two-family dwellings, 1302, 1340 and 1350 Spear Street: Mr. Belair noted the applicant had requested a continuance. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD NOVEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 5 Mr. Miller moved to continue #MP-11-03 until 4 February 2014. Mr. Sirotkin seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 10. Reorganization: A. Election of chair, vice chair & clerk B. Affirm regular meeting dates & hours Members agreed to postpone reorganization until the next meet when more members can be present. 11. Other business: No other business was conducted. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:02 p.m. _______________________________ Clerk _______________________________ Date DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD DECEMBER 3, 2013 PAGE 1 The South Burlington Development Review Board held a regular meeting on 3 December 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: T. Barritt, Acting Chair, B. Miller, M. Sirotkin, D. Parsons, J. Smith Also Present: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; D. Marshall, R. Jeffers, B. & J. Noyes 1. Announcements: No announcements were made. 2. Preliminary & Final Plat application #SD-13-33 of Queen City, LLC, to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 6,920 sq. ft. building which includes 2,429 sq. ft. of general office use and three dwelling units, and 2) a 6,708 sq. ft. detached building with two dwelling units and 512 sq. ft. of accessary use. The amendment consists of adding one dwelling unit to the three unit multi-family dwelling, 428-434 Shelburne Road: Mr. Belair noted that the applicant had not mailed notices to allow for the 15-day notice period to abutters. 7 January would be the soonest the application could be heard with the proper notice. Mr. Belair said staff could provide the Board with a draft decision that night. No other issues were raised. Mr. Parsons moved to close the hearing. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Sketch Plan Application #SD-13-35 of South Village Communities, LLC, to amend a previously approved plan for a 3-phase, 334 unit planned unit development. The amendment consists of: 1) relocating seven lots, and 2) resubdividing two of those lots into three lots, 1840 Spear Street: It was noted that the building on lot #23 ended up being closer to Chipman Street than allowed. In the past, South Village was allowed front porches, but the livable portion had to be 10 feet back. With this building, the livable portion over the porch is too close to the right-of-way. The logical answer is to readjust the property lines. Through a domino effect, this creates some changes in open space parcels. The question is whether a 374 sq. ft. adjustment warrants a change in the Master Plan. The total open space is increased by one square foot. After discussion, members were OK with not requiring a Master Plan change. Mr. Marshall noted that the original plan called for two triplex units. Because of market conditions, they propose 3 duplex units instead. He showed the location of these. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD DECEMBER 3, 2013 PAGE 2 Mr. Belair noted that there will have to be a waiver on lot size for the 3 lots out of 2. He added that this is not unusual. The Board was OK with deliberating after the next meeting with a draft decision on 17 December. 4. Minutes of 5 September 2013: Mr. Miller moved to approve the Minutes of 3 September 2013 as written. Ms. Smith seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Reorganization: A. Election of chair, vice chair & clerk B. Affirm regular meeting dates & hours Members agreed to postpone reorganization until the next meet when more members can be present. 11. Other business: No issues were raised. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 7:41 p.m. _______________________________ Clerk _______________________________ Date SOUTH BURLINGTON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD Pending Applications ___________________________________________ - 1 - - Last updated – January 3, 2014 Please note that the tentative schedule is indeed tentative.
