HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes - Development Review Board - 05/01/2018 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 1 MAY 2018 The South Burlington Development Review Board held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 1 May 2018, at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. MEMBERS PRESENT: B. Miller, Chair; M. Cota, J Smith, J. Wilking, F. Kochman ALSO PRESENT: R. Belair, Administrative Officer; M. Keene, Development Planner; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; D. Wheeler, G. Knisely, S. Wjetug, S. & D. Mowat, D. Heil, J. Albertson, R. Gonda, S. Gregory, D. Chen, M. Jenswold, J. Gursky, L. Wood 1. Directions on emergency evacuation procedures from conference room: Mr. Miller provided directions on emergency evacuation procedures. 2. Additions, deletions, or changes in order of agenda items: No changes were made to the Agenda. 3. Comments and questions from the public not related to the Agenda: No issues were raised. 4. Announcements: There were no announcements. 5. Miscellaneous permit application #MS-18-01 of the City of South Burlington Department of Public Works for stormwater upgrades in the Pinnacle at Spear neighborhood. The upgrades consist of replacing four stormwater detention basins with two gravel wetlands, one sand filter and one detention pond as well as associated pretreatment structures, Pinnacle Drive and Nowland Farm Road: Mr. Wheeler explained that they have been working with the Pinnacle at Spear Homeowners’ Association to implement some of the projects involved in the flow restoration plans for Bartlett Brook. Infrastructure in the neighborhood is not up to the latest State Stormwater Management standards, and the existing ponds will be retrofitted to address those standards. The ponds will not be expanded. The release of water from the ponds will be slowed to prevent erosion during peak events. There will also be phosphorus reduction. Mr. Kochman asked who is paying for the projects. Mr. Wheeler said the Homeowners’ Association is paying a share, and there are also grants which have been secured. Mr. Wilking expressed concern with downsizing the pipe so much that it overflows in a 100-year event. Mr. Wheeler said that has been taken into account. Mr. Gonda expressed concern with the safety of a group of willow trees in the area and noted there is language in the plans to try to protect those trees. Mr. Wheeler said they are mostly staying away from them. Mr. Wilking noted that if one of those 36-inch caliper trees is destroyed, it will have to be replaced with 18 2-inch caliper trees or 6 6-inch caliper trees. No other issues were raised. Mr. Cota moved to close MS-18-01. Ms. Smith seconded. Motion passed 5-0. 6. Design review application #DR-18-04 of VASTA to amend a previously approved Master Signage Permit (MSP). The amendment consists of changing the allowable sign colors to red, white, grey and blue, 358 Dorset Street: Mr. Albertson said they were originally going to paint the kiosk white and change the sign colors so the adjoining business could put their sign on the kiosk as well. However, they have learned that this cannot be done. So now they are just going to paint the kiosk white (it had been black) and keep the other colors they had. Mr. Albertson said they are also asking to put red and white lighted signs on the building as the previous owner had. No issues were raised. Mr. Cota moved to close DR-18-04. Mr. Wilking seconded. Motion passed 5-0. 7. Final Plat Application #SD-18-12 of Rivers Edge Building Development, LLC, for re-approval of an amendment to a previously approved planned unit development consisting of revising the footprint lots for eight units, 1840 Spear Street: Ms. Keene noted the Board is seeing the plans again because the mylar wasn’t filed in time. It is the same plan that was previously approved. Mr. Heil said they are proposing 4 duplexes for a total of 8 units. He indicated the lots are being revised due to geometric changes of the duplex units. They are also revising the depths of some footprint lots. The original approval was granted on 5 September 2017. Mr. Kochman said he believed the footprint lots are illegal. Mr. Mowat expressed concern with what will be going behind the units. Ms. Keene said it is just a lot “for future development.”  The owner would have to come to the DRB for any plans to develop there. No other issues were raised. Mr. Cota moved to close SD-18-12. Ms. Smith seconded. Motion passed 5-0. 8. Site Plan Application #SP-18-15 and Conditional Use Application #CU-18-06 of Steve Gregory to amend a previously approved site plan for a 60,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant industrial building, unit #7 of which is currently approved for use as a funeral home and mortuary (crematorium). The amendment is to add one additional retort to the existing funeral home and mortuary, 472 Meadowland Drive: Mr. Gregory said they are adding one retort to the mortuary. They have been in business there for 6 years and have had no issues. Mr. Wilking asked if there is a limit to the times of day they can operate. Mr. Gregory said there is not. No issues were raised. Mr. Cota moved to close SP-18-15. Mr. Wilking seconded. Motion passed 5-0. 9. Presentation of Summary of LDR Amendments Effective 23 April 2018: Mr. Conner reviewed the amendments as follows: a. Heights in the C1-R12, C1-R15, and C1 Auto Districts: 1. Maximum height has been increased from 40 feet to 5 stories with removal of the height waiver provision 2. No building can be more than one story taller than the shortest building on adjacent land in the R-4 district, except where separation exists beyond 75 feet 3. Minor rooftop apparatus has been removed from calculation of heights (architectural features such as a spire would still count) Mr. Wilking felt there should be a height limit as some rooftop equipment can be as much as 14 feet high. b. New area on Shelburne and Williston Road designated as “urban design overlay district”: 1. Setbacks reduce from 50 feet to 20 feet 2. A building must have 40 feet of glazing on the linear portion of the building on Shelburne or Williston Rd. 75% of glazing must be transparent. 3. There must be a prominent doorway to the street with a sidewalk to the door. 4. At certain key intersections, there are primary and secondary nodes. 60% glazing is required on the main street and 40% on the side street And there must be a prominent architectural feature. Buildings must be at least 2 stories or give the appearance of 2 stories. Mr. Kochman asked if consideration has been given to future road widening. Mr. Conner said there is additional right-of-way on the east side of Shelburne Rd. Mr. Kochman said it seems rather “skinny” if you take that right‐of‐way and there is only a 20‐foot setback. Mr. Conner said creating a pedestrian environment reduces the need for road widening. Mr. Wilking said he has seen those studies but doesn’t necessarily agree with them. c. Bicycle Parking: 1. Regulations were tweaked to allow pre-existing racks if they are adequately attached 2. Clarifies spacing between racks. d. Housing Preservation: 1. If a housing unit is removed, a housing unit needs to be replaced. It can be on-site or on a separate site and must be affordable for 20 years. 2. As an alternative, there can be a contribution to a fund of 25% of the assessed value of the building and property 3. Exemptions include: converting a duplex to a single-family home, the 30+ homes in the currently identified Airport buyout program, a home deemed “unfit for habitation,” the I‐O and other districts where housing is not permitted, and a home which is destroyed by a fire beyond the owner’s control. Mr. Wilking asked what happens to a derelict house which the City orders removed and is not taken down by the owner. Mr. Conner said he would check on that. 10. Minutes of 17 April 2018: The spelling of Ms. Pawlowski’s name was corrected. Ms. Keene noted receipt of a letter asking to add names of other people who were present and to change the description of the use at the Pines. The Board determined that if people did not sign in, there is no way to verify their attendance and therefore cannot be added, and that the description of the use is consistent with the LDR use category. Mr. Cota moved to approve the Minutes of 17 April 2018 with the spelling correction. Ms. Smith seconded. Motion passed 4-0 with Mr. Wilking abstaining. 11. Other Business: There was no other business. As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned by common consent at 8:50 p.m. These minutes were approved by the Board on May 1, 2018..

The medium density residential neighborhood’s existing stormwater system consists of a stormdrain and drainage pipe network that empties into one of four separate detention basins. These basins are covered by Permit No. 1-1155 and were constructed prior to the State of Vermont’s adoption of modern requirements related to the detention and treatment of stormwater. In 2017, the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) awarded the South Burlington Stormwater Utility (SBSU) and the Pinnacle at Spear Homeowner’s Association a grant to evaluate the neighborhood and prepare an engineering design for retrofit of the existing detention basins. The project team conducted a soil investigation and confirmed that none of the practices could be retrofit into an infiltration style Best Management Practice (BMP). The retrofit designs consist of retrofitting two detention basins (Pond A & Pond M05) into subsurface gravel wetlands, retrofitting one linear detention basin (Pond B) into a sand filter with added detention, and upgrading one linear detention basin (Pond M07) to eliminate short-circuiting, provide pre-treatment, and reduce peak discharge rates. The City has received a LCBP Grant for funding to construct Pond A, an ERP Grant for the construction of Pond M05, and a block grant from the CCRPC for the construction of Ponds B & M07. This work is expected to improve the management of stormwater runoff generated by the neighborhood in a number of ways. Firstly, the 1-year, 24-hour storm event peak discharge from this 36.42 acre drainage area (12.23 acres of impervious), will be controlled in accordance with the channel protection volume standard of the Vermont Stormwater Management Manual. This will directly benefit Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook and serve to further mitigate the negative impacts that stormwater runoff is having in the stream. Control of stormwater before it enters Bartlett Brook and Munroe Brook will also help address in-stream erosion issues that exist downstream of the neighborhood. In stream erosion has an impact on both stream health and contributions of Phosphorous to Lake Champlain. The project will also reduce the amount of phosphorous loading to Lake Champlain by more effectively removing the nutrients in stormwater than the existing detention pond. Retrofitting the existing basins will result in an estimated 9.89 lbs/yr reduction of phosphorous delivered to Lake Champlain from the neighborhood. The design team includes a wetlands specialist, who met with Tina Heath, the District Wetland Ecologist from DEC, on site to review the project. Tina indicated that upgrades to the three BMPs near wetlands are an allowed use (AU) and therefore will not require a State wetlands permit. As the neighborhood is covered by an Act 250 Permit, the upgrades to the stormwater treatment system will require a minor amendment to the Act 250 Permit. The City is currently working to obtain the minor permit amendment. Additionally, the project will require a stormwater construction general permit, which will be obtained by the City. The project will not require an updated operational stormwater permit, as the project and permit will be rolled into the City's MS4 permit coverage following the completion of the upgrade.   David P.

Staff recommends the Board confirm with the applicant that given that off‐premise signage is not  permitted, they still wish to expand the VASTA sign to use the entire existing sign kiosk.    Section 21:  Lighting    As a design review application, the Board has the authority to review all parts of the applicant’s proposed  signage, including those elements described in the Ordinance that are typically reviewed administratively.  The  applicant is proposing to re‐use existing ground mounted flood lighting.      (h) Except as provided in (g) above, fixtures shall not include bare bulbs, and fixtures shall not make  bare bulbs or other direct light sources visible to persons viewing a sign.    Standard (g) pertains to lights which are integrated into the sign and is not applicable.    2. Staff recommends the Board review the applicants proposed lighting and include a condition that the  lighting be limited to the sign and not illuminate the adjacent sidewalk.  Staff has included this condition  in the draft decision in support of this recommendation.     #DR‐18‐04  2 RECOMMENDATION    Staff recommends that the Board work with the applicant to address the issues herein.      Respectfully submitted,      ____________________________________  Marla Keene, Development Review Planner #DR‐18‐04  1    CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON  DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING    VASTA – 358 DORSET STREET  MASTER SIGNAGE PERMIT #DR‐18‐04  FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION    Design review application #DR‐18‐04 of VASTA to amend a previously approved Master Signage Permit  (MSP). The amendment consists of changing the allowable sign colors to red, white, grey, and blue, 358  Dorset Street.    The Development Review Board held a public hearing on April 17 and May 1, 2018. The applicant was  represented by Jeff Albertson.    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, VASTA, seeks to amend a previously approved Master Signage Permit (MSP)  #DR‐11‐01.     2. The amendment consists of changing the allowable sign colors to red, white, grey and blue.    3.  The owners of record of the subject property are Leo and Anette Besaw of Besaw, LLC.    4. The application was received on March 16, 2018.  5. The applicant submitted a sketch of the proposed signage which consists of one (1) free‐standing  sign with the words “VASTA Feel Better Move Better Perform Better” and a logo, and the words  “associates in Orthodontics” and a logo.  The free‐standing sign is proposed to use the same sign  supports as the existing free‐standing sign.  6. The applicant is proposing two panel wall signs in red and white, with a size range of 90 to 100  inches wide and 40 to 50 inches tall.  7. The property lies within the Dorset Street/City Center Sign District  SIGN ORDINANCE    Section 20:  General Sign Requirements    (m) Off‐premise signage shall not be permitted.    The property which is proposed to be use as the location of Associates in Orthodontics was  subdivided from 358 Dorset Street and assigned the address of 55 San Remo Drive.  The  properties are not unified by a PUD.  Therefore inclusion of signage for Associates in  #DR‐18‐04  2    Orthodontics is not permitted.  The Board finds the applicant must remove the portion of the  sign for Associates in Orthodontics from the freestanding sign and update their plan accordingly.    Section 6: Dorset Street/City Center Sign District of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance reads in part  that the Development Review Board must consider the following standards:     (1) Consistent Design: the design of a sign shall consider and be compatible and harmonious with  the design of buildings on the 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.     (2) Promote 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.     (3) Color and 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.     (4) 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.     With the Associates in Orthodontics portion of the sign removed, the proposed sign plan promotes  consistency through the use of just two (2) colors (white and red).  The proposed free‐standing sign will  be constructed of a 1/8” composite which is aluminum on both sides with PVC sandwiched in between.   Graphics will be made of high grade exterior vinyl graphics.  The sign will be attached with stainless steel  hardware.  The sign is pedestrian scale.      The proposed wall signs will be constructed of ¾” solid color PVC mounted to the bricks with aluminum  studs and fixed with silicon adhesive.    The Board finds these criteria have been met.    Section 8(d) reads in part that the board must consider the following:    (1) The initial application for a Master Signage Permit shall establish a consistent set of  parameters for the shapes, materials, foreground and background color schemes, typefaces,  sizes, installations and sign types to be utilized for a property and shall include color  illustrations thereof.     (2) Applicants are strongly encouraged to specify parameters that will lead over time to creating  a strong consistency of shape, foreground and background color scheme, typeface, size, and  installation in order to ensure that all signage on a property is in accordance with the goals of  the Dorset Street/City Center Sign District.     (3) All Master Signage Permit applications shall specify how one or more of these graphic  elements will be used to relate all of the signs to each other visually.    #DR‐18‐04  3    (4) Applicants may request a review and approval of a range of potential sizes for individual  signs, so that an application for an individual sign of approved materials, color and design that  is within an approved size range will require only approval of the Code Officer.      The proposed sign plan proposes one free‐standing sign and two wall mounted signs.  The proposed  signs use the same two colors (red and white) and the same graphic and typeface.  The applicant is  proposing a range of sizes for the wall mounted size from 90 to 100 inches wide and from 40 to 50  inches high.  The Board finds these criteria met.    Section 9(h) addresses standards specifically for free‐standing signs within the Dorset Street/City  Center Sign District:  (h) Dorset Street/City Center Sign District. 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. In those instances where dimensions do not provide for  a two (2) foot setback from the Right of Way before a sign support post can be located, it is permitted  to erect a centered single pole mounted sign of which the road side edge of the sign is directly outside  the R.O.W. line. 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.     The applicant has indicated they will use the existing sign location for the free‐standing sign, which the  Board finds is located between two and sixteen feet from the edge of the Right of Way.  The applicant is  proposing to reuse the existing sign base which is less than twelve (12) feet high.  The Board considers  this criterion met.   Section 21(e) pertains to lighting:  (e) In the Dorset Street/City Center Sign District, internally illuminated signs shall utilize opaque  backgrounds and translucent letters, logos and/or graphics, so as to insure that the lettering, logos  and/or graphics are illuminated rather than the background.  Translucent backgrounds utilizing dark  colors may be used with white, clear or other light translucent letters, logos and/or graphics, provided  the Design Review Committee determines that the effect will be consistent with the intent of this  provision.  (f) Not applicable.  (g) The use of integrated neon, LED and fiber optic lighting to illuminate signs shall be permitted  provided the light source is covered with a clear, translucent or opaque material so that the light  source is diffused and no glare is reflected.  Exposed neon lighting shall not be permitted.      (h) Except as provided in (g) above, fixtures shall not include bare bulbs, and fixtures shall not make  bare bulbs or other direct light sources visible to persons viewing a sign.    The applicant has indicated that the freestanding sign is proposed to be externally illuminated using  existing ground mounted flood lights, therefore is not subject to this standard.  The applicant has  indicated that the wall mounted signs will be externally illuminated using existing white colored  #DR‐18‐04  4    gooseneck lamps mounted above each sign.  The Board finds the proposed freestanding sign lighting  must be limited to illuminating the sign and not illuminate the adjacent sidewalk.  DECISION    Motion by ___, seconded by ___, to approve sign design review application #DR‐18‐04 of VASTA subject  to the following conditions:    1. All previous approvals and stipulations which are not changed by this decision, will remain in full  effect.    2. The sign colors permitted are white and red.    3. Before the sign permit is approved, the plan must be revised to show the changes listed below  and shall require approval of the Administrative Officer.  Three (3) copies and one electronic  copy of the approved revised plan must be submitted to the Administrative Officer prior to sign  permit approval.    a. Remove “Associates in Orthodontics” from the freestanding sign and expand the VASTA  sign to fill the entire 90‐inch wide by 43‐inch tall space.    4. The applicant must obtain sign permits consistent with the master sign approval and specific  standards of the Sign Ordinance in effect at the time of application from the Code Officer prior to  any changes to signs on the property.    5. Any change to the approved plan must require approval by the South Burlington Development  Review Board or the Administrative Officer.     6. Pursuant  to  Section  20  of  the  Sign  Ordinance,  all  signs  must  be  of  substantial  and  sturdy  construction, kept in good repair, and painted or cleaned as necessary to maintain a clean, safe,  and orderly appearance.    7. The proposed lighting for the freestanding sign must be limited to illuminating the sign and not  illuminate the adjacent sidewalk.                              #DR‐18‐04  5    Mark Behr    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present  Matt Cota    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present  Frank Kochman       Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not present  Bill Miller    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present  Brian Sullivan    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present  Jennifer Smith    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present  John Wilking    Yea  Nay  Abstain  Not Present    Motion carried by a vote of _ – _ – _.    Signed this ____ day of May, 2018 by        _____________________________________  Bill Miller, Chair    Please note:  An appeal of this decision may be taken by filing, within 30 days of the date of this  decision, a notice of appeal and the required fee by certified mail to the Superior Court, Environmental  Division.  See V.R.E.C.P. 5(b).  A copy of the notice of appeal must also be mailed to the City of South  Burlington Planning and Zoning Department at 575 Dorset Street, South Burlington, VT 05403.  See  V.R.E.C.P. 5(b) (4)(A).  Please contact the Environmental Division at 802‐828‐1660 or  http://vermontjudiciary.org/GTC/environmental/default.aspx for more information on filing  requirements, deadlines, fees and mailing address.    The applicant or permittee retains the obligation to identify, apply for, and obtain relevant state  permits for this project. Call 802.477.2241 to speak with the regional Permit Specialist.    358 PO Box 161, Montgomery Center, VT 802.734-3060 justin@jddesignllc.com REF# KIOSK FR0NT & BACK San Remo Facing Kiosk: FEEL BETTER.

The Permittee has proposed to modify the existing Facility with the installation and operation of an additional Matthews Power-Pak II Plus in addition to the existing Matthews Power-Pak II cremation unit. The proposed unit is designed to fire charges at a maximum rate of 150 pounds per hour and uses two burners - a primary burner with a heat input capacity of 2,000,000 Btu/hr and a secondary burner with a heat input capacity of 500,000 Btu/hr. The Permittee plans to fire natural gas exclusively in the retort burners. The operations performed at the Facility are classified within the Standard Industrial Classification Code -7261 (Funeral Services and Crematories). Upon issuance of this Permit, the approved operations at the Facility include the following air pollution related operations, equipment and emission control devices: Equipmentlmake/model Matthews Power-Pak II Matthews Power-Pak II Plus Equipment Specifications Max charge rate, lb/hr 150 175 Heat input capacity, primary/secondaryltotal1 2.0/0.5/2.5 1.5/1.5/3.0 1 Heat input capacities listed in million British thermal units per hour. 2 LPG -liquified petroleum gas. (8) FACILITY CLASSIFICATION Fuel Date of typr installation LPG 2011 LPG 2018 The Facility is classified as a source of air contaminants pursuant to Title 10 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated ("10 VSA") §555 and §5-401(1) "Incinerators", of the Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations (hereinafter "Regulations"). In addition, §5- 101 of the Regulations defines a stationary source as any structure(s}, equipment, installation(s), or operation(s}, or combination thereof, which emit or may emit any air contaminant, which is located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties and which is owned or operated by the same person or persons under common control. Based on this definition, all of the equipment, operations, and structures at the Facility are grouped together by the Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation, Air Pollution Control Division (hereinafter "Agency") as one stationary air contaminant source for purposes of review under the Regulations. Page 2 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 (C) PRIOR AGENCY ACTIONS/APPROVALS The Facility has been issued the following "Permit to Construct" approvals pursuant to 10 VSA §556 and §5-501 of the Regulations. Date of Action November 15, 2011 Prior Agency Approvals and Actions Oescrlptlon of Agency Approval/Action #AP-11-033 -Original Agency "Permit to Construct" approval for installation and operation of one (1) Matthews Power-Pak II cremation unit. (D) FACILITY PERMIT APPLICABILITY As noted above, the Facility is classified as a source of air contaminants under §5-401 of the Regulations. Pursuant to 1 O VSA §556 and §5-501 of the Regulations a Permit to Construct, or an amendment to any existing Permit to Construct, must be obtained before commencing the construction, installation, modification or operation of an air contaminant source. Pursuant to 10 VSA §556a and Subchapter X of the Regulations a Permit to Operate is required for any air contaminant source with allowable emissions of all air contaminants combined of ten (10) tons per year ("tpy") or more or that is otherwise subject to Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations ("40 CFR') Part 70. Allowable emissions from the Facility are estimated to be less than ten (10) tpy combined and the Facility is not otherwise required to obtain a Title V permit therefore the Facility is not required to obtain a Permit to Operate consistent with the requirements of Subchapter X of the Regulations. 2.2 future Allowable Air Contaminant Emlaalons (tonalyear)1 NOx co <1 3.8 0.2 voes <5 Total Criteria <10 HAP92 <8/20 1 PM/PM10/PM2.s -total particulate matter, total particulate matter of 10 micrometers in size or smaller and total particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers in size or smaller, respectively. Uunless otherwise specified, all PM is assumed to be PM2.s); S02 -sulfur dioxide; NOx -oxides of nitrogen measured as N02 equivalent; CO -carbon monoxide; VOCs -volatile organic compounds; HAPs -hazardous air pollutants as defined in § 112 of the federal Clean Air Act. 2 A stationary source with potential emissions of 10 tons per year or greater of any single HAP or 25 tons per year or greater of all HAPs combined is considered a major source of HAPs under §112 of the federal Clean Air Act. Any stationary source with potential emissions of 8 tons per year or greater of any single HAP or 20 tons per year or greater of all HAPs combined is considered a synthetic minor source. The Facility is limited by the Permit herein to less than thresholds for a synthetic minor source. Actual total combined HAPs from the Facility are estimated at <1 tpy. This Permit does not explicitly authorize emissions up to this level since any increase in actual HAP emissions may be subject to §5-261 and 5-501 of the Regulations as applicable. Page 3 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 (E) REVIEW OF CRITERIA EMISSIONS FOR THE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT (a) New Source Review Designation The Facility, prior to the construction of the proposed modification, is designated as a non-major stationary source of air contaminants since it does not have allowable emissions of a single air contaminant of fifty (50) tons per year or greater. Consequently, any modification of the source that would result in a significant increase in emissions of any air contaminant, as defined in §5-101 of the Regulations, is designated as a major modification and is subject to review under §5-501 and §5-502 of the Regulations. The proposed project identified in Findings of Fact (A) above, together with all previous minor modifications constructed at the Facility since July 1, 1979, and which have not been previously reviewed under §5-502 of the Regulations, will not result in a significant increase in emissions. Consequently, the proposed modification is designated as a non-major modification and is not subject to the requirements of §5-502 of the Regulations. (b) Most Stringent Emission Rate Pursuant to §5-502 of the Regulations, the owner/operator of each new major stationary source or major modification must apply control technology adequate to achieve the Most Stringent Emission Rate ("MSER") with respect to those air contaminants for which there would be a major or significant actual emissions increase, respectively, but only for those currently proposed physical or operational changes which would contribute to the increased emissions. The proposed project is designated as a non-major modification of a stationary source and therefore is not subject to review under the MSER requirements in §5-502 of the Regulations. In addition, there have been no prior MSER evaluations conducted for any of the previous modifications to the Facility. (c) Ambient Air Quality Impact Evaluation An ambient air quality impact evaluation is performed to demonstrate whether or not a proposed project will cause or contribute to violations of the ambient air quality standards and/or significantly deteriorate existing air quality. Based on the level of emissions from this Facility, it is not expected to cause or contribute to a violation of any ambient air quality standard or significantly deteriorate air quality. Therefore, an air quality impact evaluation was not required by the Agency for the proposed project. In addition, there has been no prior ambient air quality impact evaluations conducted for any of the previous modifications to the Facility. Page 4 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 (d) Applicable Requirements The operations at the Facility are subject to the following state and federal laws and regulations, the requirements of which are embodied in the conditions of this Permit (i) Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations: Applicable Requirements from the Vermont Air PoUution Control Regulations Section 5-201 -Prohibition of Open Burning. Section 5-211 (2) -Prohibition of Visible Air Contaminants, Installations Constructed Subsequent to April 30, 1970. Section 5-221 (1) -Prohibition of Potentially Polluting Materials in Fuel, Sulfur Limitation in Fuel. Section 5-231 (2) -Prohibition of Particulate Matter; Incinerator Emissions. Section 5-241 -Prohibition of Nuisance and Odor. Section 5-402 -Written Reports When Requested. Section 5-403 -Circumvention. Subchapter VIII -Registration of Air Contaminant Sources. (ii) Existing Air Pollution Control Permit to Construct The Facility currently operates under the confines of a Permit to Construct issued on November 15, 2011 (#AP-11-033). The requirements of that permit which are not being modified herein are incorporated into this new Permit to Construct (#AP-18-009). Page 5 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC (iii) Federal Requirements: Applicable Requirements from Federal RegulatioM and the Clean Air Act #AP-18-009 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ee-Standards of Performance for Hospital/Medical/ Infectious Waste Incinerators for Which Construction is Commenced After June 20, 1996. This rule applies to each hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerator. Neither the definition of hospital waste or medical infectious waste include human or animal remains intended for interment or cremation. This rule does not apply to human or animal remains intended for interment or cremation. Thus, cremation units used exclusively for this purpose are not subject. 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC-Standards of Performance for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units for Which Construction Is Commenced After November 30, 1999 or for Which Modification or Reconstruction Is Commenced on or After June 1, 2001 (and Subpart DDDD for existing units). This rule applies to each commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) unit. This rule does not apply to certain pathological waste incinerators that burn 90% or more by weight pathological waste (must notify Administrator and keep records), municipal waste combustion units, medical waste incineration units, small power production facilities, cogeneration facilities, hazardous waste combustion units, materials recovery units, air curtain incinerators, and sewage sludge incinerators. Burn off ovens including rack reclamation units, cyclonic burn barrels and soil treatment units are also not considered incinerators subject to this rule. Cellulosic biomass (virgin wood) and specification used oil are considered traditional fuels and not considered solid waste. Per 241.4 scrap tires, resinated wood, coal refuse and pulp and paper sludge are categorically exempt as solid wastes. Per 241.3 other fuels meeting the following legitimacy requirements of 241.3( d) are also exempt, by self-determination in some instances or by petition to EPA in others : (1) must be managed as a valuable commodity, (2) must have a meaningful heating value and be used as a fuel in a combustion unit that recovers energy, (3) must contain contaminants or groups of contaminants at levels comparable in concentration to or lower than those in traditional fuel(s) which the combustion unit is designed to burn. This rule does not apply to human or animal remains intended for interment or cremation. Thus, cremation units used exclusively for this purpose are not subject. 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE -Standards of Performance for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units for Which Construction is Commenced After December 9, 2004, or for Which Modification or Reconstruction is Commenced on or After June 16, 2006. This rule applies to two subcategories of incinerators: (1) very small municipal waste combustion units (units that burn less than 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste) and (2) institutional waste incineration units. It does include cyclonic burn barrels at an institutional facility. This rule does not apply to certain pathological waste incineration units that burn 90% or more by weight pathological waste (must notify Administrator and keep records), units that combust contraband or prohibited goods, or temporary-use incinerators and air curtain incinerators used in disaster recovery. This rule does not apply to human or animal remains intended for interment or cremation. Thus, cremation units used exclusively for this purpose are not subject. Page 6 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 (F) HAZARDOUS MOST STRINGENT EMISSION RATE Pursuant to §5-261 of the Regulations, any stationary source subject to the rule 1 with current or proposed actual emissions of a hazardous air contaminant (HAC) equal to or greater than the respective Action Level (found in Appendix C of the Regulations) shall be subject to the Regulation and shall achieve the Hazardous Most Stringent Emission Rate (HMSER) for the respective HAC. HMSER is defined as a rate of emissions which the Secretary, on a case-by-case basis, determines is achievable for a stationary source based on the lowest emission rate achieved in practice by such a category of source and considering economic impact and cost. HMSER may be achieved through application of pollution control equipment, production processes or techniques, equipment design, work practices, chemical substitution, or innovative pollution control techniques. Based on information provided by the Permittee, the Agency does not anticipate the Facility to have regulated emissions of any HAC in excess of an Action Level. While mercury emissions are of potential concern with human crematories due mainly to mercury in amalgam fillings, individual crematories are not expected to exceed the respective mercury Action Level. Therefore, the Facility is not being reviewed pursuant to §5-261 of the Regulations at this time. 1 APCR §5-261 (1 )(c)(ii) provides that solid fuel burning equipment (not including incinerators) installed or constructed prior to January 1, 1993, and all fuel burning equipment which com bust virgin liquid or gaseous fuel shall not be subjects to the requirements of §5-261. Page 7 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 Based on the Agency's review of the Facility's application and the above Findings of Fact, the Agency concludes that the Facility, subject to the following Permit conditions, complies with all applicable state and federal air pollution control laws and regulations. Therefore, pursuant to 10 VSA §556, as amended, the Agency hereby issues a Permit approving the Facility, as described in the above Findings of Fact, subject to the following: PERMIT CONDITIONS -Construction and Equipment Specifications - (1) The Permittee shall construct and operate the Facility in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to the Agency and in accordance with the conditions set forth herein, including the equipment specifications as listed in Findings of Fact (A) or their equivalent as approved by the Agency. [1 o v.s.A. §556(c)J [§5-501 (1) of the Regulations) (2) Each crematory unit shall be designed and operated with a secondary combustion chamber or zone that ensures complete combustion of the exhaust gases in compliance with the particulate matter and visible emission limits of this Permit. [10 v.s.A. §556(c)J [§5- 231(2)(c) of the Regulations] [application for #AP-11-033 and #AP-18-009) (3) Stack heights: The exhaust gases from the following emission sources shall be vented vertically through a stack(s) of the configuration noted below. Where stack heights are noted in Findings of Fact A such stacks shall be configured accordingly. The stack(s) shall not be equipped with any device that may obstruct the upward discharge of the exhaust gases such as a fixed rain cap of a type that has not been approved by the Agency. Stack Height and Configuration Emission source Maximum stack diameter Minimum stack height (ft) (inches)1 Above grade Matthews Power-Pak II 29 28 Matthews Power-Pak II Plus 29 28 1 Stack diameter refers to internal diameter. Where stack diameter is not specified, it shall be based on the most recent respective permit application. For all other non-fugitive emission points at the Facility, the Agency recommends that they each be exhausted vertically through a stack(s) which extend a minimum of four (4) feet above the roof where the stack penetrates the roof and that they not be equipped with any device that may obstruct the upward discharge of the exhaust gases such as a fixed rain cap of a type that has not been approved by the Agency. The Agency may require the Permittee to increase the stack height, remove a rain cap, or conduct a dispersion analysis to verify compliance with ambient air quality standards for any stack Page 8 of 15 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 at the Facility if, in the judgment of the Agency, adequate dispersion cannot be maintained at the current stack configuration. Adequacy may in part be based on the actual emission rate of air contaminants, the characteristics of the current stack configuration, or inspections of the Facility that indicate poor dispersion or that confirm significant visible emissions or nuisance or odor beyond the property line. [10 v.s.A. §§556( c) and 556a(d)] [§5-406 of the Regulations] [application for #AP-11-033 and #AP-18-009] -Operational Limitations - (4) The Permittee shall only burn human and/or animal remains in the crematory unit. A bag or container for holding the remains may also be burned with the remains provided the bag or container is designed and intended for cremation and contains no PVC plastics. No other materials may be burned in the crematory unit without the prior written approval of the Agency. The combustion of any other materials including pathological wastes, hospital wastes, medical/infectious wastes, commercial or industrial wastes, municipal wastes or institutional wastes may result in the unit being subject to federal incinerator regulations. [10 V.S.A. §556(c)J [5-261 of the Regulations] [40 CFR Part 60 Subparts Ee, cccc and EEEE] (5) Notwithstanding Condition (4) above, the Permittee shall under no circumstances fire wooden caskets in the crematory unit without prior written approval of the Agency. Approval shall be contingent on the Permittee submitting valid stack emission test data that demonstrates the respective crematory unit make and model complies with the particulate matter emission limit of this Permit while burning a standard charge that includes a wooden casket. Failure to comply with this condition shall be grounds for revocation of this Permit. [10 v.s.A. §556(c)J [§5-404 of the Regulations] (6) The Permittee shall ensure that the last combustion chamber or zone of the cremation unit is preheated to a temperature of at least 1,600°F prior to introduction of the charge and shall maintain said temperature throughout the remainder of the cremation unit's operation cycle.

It is not intended to provide a comprehensive review of the Facility or permit process or duplicate the information contained in the Permit. Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 I. INTRODUCTION Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC (also referred to herein as "Permittee") owns and operates a funeral service and crematory at 472 Meadowland Drive in the town of South Burlington, Vermont (also referred to herein as "Facility"). The Permittee has proposed to modify the existing Facility with the installation and operation of an additional Matthews Power-Pak II Plus in addition to the existing Matthews Power-Pak 11 cremation unit. The proposed unit is designed to fire charges at a maximum rate of 150 pounds per hour and uses two burners - a primary burner with a heat input capacity of 2,000,000 Btu/hr and a secondary burner with a heat input capacity of 500,000 Btu/hr. The Permittee plans to fire natural gas exclusively in the retort burners. The operations performed at the Facility are classified within the Standard Industrial Classification Code -7261 (Funeral Services and Crematories). Table 1-1 below outlines the equipment approved to operate at the Facility. Matthews Power-Pak II 150 Matthews Power-Pak II Plus 175 1 Heat input capacities listed in million British thermal units per hour. 2 LPG -liquified petroleum gas. II. FACILITY DESCRIPTION 2.0/0.5/2.5 1.5/1.5/3.0 LPG 2011 LPG 2018 The regulated sources of air contaminant emissions at the Facility are the human cremation units with the equipment specifications as described above. To begin cremation, the operator fires the secondary burner (afterburner) to preheat the cremation unit. Once the retort achieves the minimum temperature, the operator places a batch of deceased remains into the primary chamber and closes the chamber door. After the door is closed, the primary burner fires and promotes initial and supplementary combustion. Once material combustion is initiated, the primary chamber produces a mixture of highly combustible gases. This mixture is subsequently vented to the secondary chamber and fully oxidized by the afterburner. At the completion of the cremation process, the operator removes the ash from the primary chamber. To ensure proper operating conditions, the retort is equipped with a thermocouple (located downstream of the secondary chamber flame tip) that sends real time temperature measurements to the main control panel where it is received by a temperature controller. The temperature controller adjusts a motorized butterfly valve located on the afterburner inlet gas assembly to regulate the heat input to the afterburner and maintain a constant temperature. The temperature controller is also interlocked with the primary burner and prevents it from firing until the set point is reached. As specified by the Regulations, the set point for installations installed subsequent to June 1, 1995 is 1,600°F. In addition, should the retort exceed the maximum temperature, the temperature controller will modulate down the primary and secondary burners. Page 2 of 4 Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 Ill. EMISSION CALCULATIONS Emissions from the two Matthews units including the Power-Pak II and the Power-Pak II Plus cremation retorts were estimated firing at maximum rates of 2.5 and 3.0 million British thermal units per hour ("MMBtu/hr'') for both primary and secondary burners combined, respectively. -This was the heat input specifications supplied by the manufacturer of the units. Emissions from these units were estimated assuming that the combined use of the two units is unrestricted (8, 760 hours, each) per year. The calculations made to determine allowable emissions of particulate matter ("PM/PM10"), oxides of nitrogen ("NOx"), volatile organic compounds (''VOCs"), carbon monoxide ("CO"), and sulfur dioxide ("S02") from the cremation units are presented below. Emissions of hazardous air pollutants are assumed to be less than one ton per year from both units, combined. Emissions of mercury are estimated to be below the Action Level. Particulate Emissions -Matthew Units The average flue gas flow rate (632 dscfm) and average oxygen content (9.8% 02) was taken from the submitted stack test (Blue Hill Cemetery, Braintree, MA August 26, 2015) and adjusted to 7% 02. The retort tested was fueled with natural gas. ( 632 _dscf )( 21 - 9 .8) = 506 ~scf mm 21 - 7 mm Allowable particulate matter emissions were then calculated using the regulatory limit of 0.06 grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf) at 7% oxygen (§5-231 (2)(c) of the Regulations) and formula outlined below. (506dscfx0.06grainx lib )(60minx8,760hrx. Iton J= 1.1 ton min dscf 7,000grains hr yr 2,00CJb yr The stack test data provided indicates that the average particulate emissions rate from the unit at 7% 02 is 0.03 grains/dscf, which is less then the regulatory limit of 0.06 grains/dscf. Page3 of 4 . Gregory Cremation and Memorial Service, LLC #AP-18-009 Criteria Pollutant Allowable Emission Calculations for both Matthews units are shown below. The two units have a maximum charge rate of 325 pounds per hour, combined. This maximum charge rate was used estimate emissions from both units assuming each unit operates 4,000 hours per year. The applicant has stated that the Facility anticipates performing 700-750 cremations per year therefore, 4,000 hours per year is a very conservative estimate. Allowable emission estimates are shown below in Table 3-1: .J .. H:t.._ . ....,...w·•. •• "~ ....

This report states an emission factor of 3.2 grams of mercury per adult body. An estimate of 730 cremations per unit per year in both units combined, was used to estimate mercury emissions. This results in estimated actual emissions of 0.0026 tons of mercury per year, or 0.005 pounds of mercury per 8 hours. The Action Level for mercury is currently established at 0.02 pounds per 8 hours. Consequently, the Facility's emissions of mercury are below the Action Level and no hazardous most stringent emission rate determination was made.

MINOR TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS 18.01 Inclusionary Zoning B. Applicability (1) Covered Development. Except as otherwise provided in this bylaw, the provisions of this section shall apply within the City Center Form Based Codes District to any development, notwithstanding any phasingincluding each phase of the development, that will result in the creation of twelve (12) or more total dwelling units through subdivision, new construction, or the conversion of an existing structure or structures from non-residential to residential use. For purposes of this requirement, two or more developments shall be aggregated and considered as one development subject to this section if: (a) The developments are located on abutting properties; and (b) The developments are owned or controlled by the same person; and (c) Either: (i) The developments will undergo subdivision, construction, or conversion of an existing structure or structures from non-residential to residential use within the same five-year period, which period shall be measured from the date a proper and complete application is first submitted, or page 18 (ii) A master plan exists, as approved by the City, which includes two or more of the developments. C. Inclusionary Units (1) For covered development, at least five percent (5%) of the total dwelling units offered for rent or sale, including units offered for sale in fee simple, shared, condominium or cooperative ownership, shall be affordable to households having incomes no greater than 80% of the area median income (AMI) adjusted for household size. An additional five percent (5%) of the total dwelling units shall be affordable to households having incomes no greater than 100% of the AMI adjusted for household size. An additional five percent (5%) of the total dwelling units shall be affordable to households having incomes no greater than 120% of the AMI adjusted for household size. (a) Where the application of this formula results in a fractional dwelling unit, that fractional dwelling unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (fractions that are greater than n.00 but less than n.50 are rounded down; fractions that are greater than or equal to n.50 but less than n+1.00 are rounded up). (b) When the developer proposes to build at least 12 but fewer than 17 housing units, the requirement will be to include two (2) affordable dwelling units one of which shall be affordable to households whose incomes are no greater than 80% of AMI adjusted for household size and the other shall be affordable to households whose income is no greater than 100% of AMI adjusted for household size. (c) When the developer is required to build a number of affordable dwelling units where the number of affordable dwelling units calculated by multiplying the total number of units by 15% that is not evenly divisible by three, the first “remaining” dwelling unit must be affordable at the 80% AMI level adjusted for household size and, where applicable, the second “remaining” dwelling unit must be affordable at 100% AMI level adjusted for household size. Example: The developer is required to build 13 affordable dwelling units. Four dwelling units must be affordable at the 80% of AMI adjusted for household size, four dwelling units must be affordable at the 100% of AMI adjusted for household size; four dwelling units must be affordable at the 120% of AMI adjusted for household size; and the “remaining” dwelling unit must be affordable at the 80% AMI adjusted for household size. page 19 ARTICLE 8 CITY CENTER FORM BASED CODE DISTRICT T3 -1 8.12 City Center T3 and T3+ Neighborhood Building Envelope Standards (A) Purpose Primary Building Façade Requirements Secondary Building Façade Requirements Supplemental (B) Lot Standards (1)Lot Dimensions (a)Lot size (b)Lot Width (2)Lot Occupation (a)Percentage of Lot Coverage (b)Units per acre (C) Building Standards (1) Building Types (a)Detached single family dwelling (b)Two-family dwelling (c )Multi-family housing (d)Detached mixed-use storefront (e)Cottage (f)Accessory Structure (g)Carriage House See note 5 (h)Small-Lot Multi Family dwelling See note 5 (2)Building Stories (a)Principal (b)Accessory (3)Floor-to-Ceiling Height (a)First story (b)Upper Stories (4)Build-to Zone See T3 & T3+ Figures (a)Primary Build-to-Zone 5' Min., 20' Max.5' Min., 30' Max.

Sketch Plan Application #SD‐18‐11 of Pines Housing LP to amend a previously  approved planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 184 unit congregate housing  facility and 2) a 104 unit extended stay hotel in two buildings.  The amendment  consists of constructing a 2,300 sq. ft. building addition for the purpose of expanding  the administrative office space for the congregate care facility, 7 Aspen Drive:    Mr. Miller recused himself due to a potential conflict of interest.  Mr. Cota served as chair  during Mr. Miller’s recusal.      DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD  17 APRIL 2018  PAGE 3    Mr. Olesky said the addition will be single story and will accommodate more office space to  administer this use and other operations owned by the applicant.  The property is part of a  larger PUD under two different entities.  There will be a boundary line adjustment because of  encroachment onto common ground.  Ms. Keene noted that from South Burlington’s  perspective, the boundary line is not required because it is a footprint lot.    Mr. Cota noted the need for wetland permits.  Mr. Olesky said they are going through that  process now.    Mr. Cota asked which option they would choose for bike parking.  Mr. Olesky said they have not  yet made that decision.    Mr. Kochman asked how many feet this structure will be from the footprint line.  Mr. Olesky  said a minimum of 2 feet from any building façade.  Mr. Kochman asked who owns the new  building and the common land.  Mr. Olesky said the building will be owned by Pines LP and the  common land by Pines LP and Pines 4.  All perimeter land is shared by both owners.  Mr.  Kochman said in his opinion the footprint line is illegal.    Mr. Kochman asked about parking.  Ms. Keene said staff feels no additional parking is required  by the LDRs.    Mr. Kochman asked if the applicant would move the line out 3 more feel so they are at least 5  feet from the boundary line.  Mr. Olesky said they had no problem with that.    Ms. Pawlowski, a Pines resident asked if there will be HVAC equipment on the room of the  addition.  Ms. Getz said there will not.    Ms. Pawlowski said there are parking problems now.  She also asked how they will get  construction equipment to that location and noted there is a community garden in that area.   Ms. Olesky said they may temporarily remove the garden.  Ms. Getz said they may also have to  move a few signs.  Ms. Pawlowski noted the presence of a large piece of drainage in the ground  when you come around the corner of the building.  She didn’t know how large construction  equipment will fit there.  There is also a large drop‐off of the land.    Mr. Kochman asked that the applicant provide an overlay at preliminary plat showing clearly  how the property and parking will be accessed during construction.  Mr. Olesky said they can do  that.  Mr. Kochman noted this building will serve this and other facilities.  He asked if it were         DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD  17 APRIL 2018  PAGE 4    just considered an “office building” would it require parking.  Mr. Belair said it would require 3‐ 1/2 spaces per 1000 sq. ft.  Ms. Smith asked about added staffing.  Ms. Getz anticipated at least  2 additional staff at first.  Mr. Kochman felt they need at least 8 more parking spaces for the  office use.  Ms. Getz said the lot is often empty.  Ms. Pawlowski said that 2 mornings a week  when there are conferences the lot is full and residents who leave cannot find parking when  they return.  Another resident said people are parking on the street side, interfering with  traffic.  She added that on mornings when there are conferences, there is no parking available  for the person who comes to help her.    Ms. Longfellow, a neighbor, asked about drainage and noted they have just solved some  drainage issues.  Mr. Olesky said they will have to address drainage to comply with city, state  and federal guidelines.    No other issues were raised.    Mr. Miller rejoined the Board.    9. Sketch Plan Application #SD‐18‐10 of Burlington International Airport & BTV Hotel,  LLC, to amend a previously approved plan for an airport complex.  The amendment  consists of constructing a 105‐room hotel on the southern end of the existing parking  garage, 1200 Airport Drive:    Mr. Rabideau reviewed the history of identification of on‐site lodging for out‐of‐town  customers who have early morning fights.  This application will provide a 5‐story, 105 room  hotel with a lobby and other amenities.  After evaluating several locations, they determined this  site had the best relationship to the parking garage.      The application does ask for an extension of the height limit and some setbacks.    Basically, this will be a rectangular building utilizing the same access road as the airport road.   There will be a porte corchere at one end with continuing direct access to the garage or the  option to get back onto Airport Drive.  There will be circulation for pedestrians from the hotel  to the Airport entrance at an identified crosswalk.  There will also be an indoor sky‐bridge.    Mr. Rabideau identified the location for trash (the same facility as the rest of the Airport).          DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD  17 APRIL 2018  PAGE 5    The plan is to develop the fire lane as more than a “back alley,” possibly using interesting  pavers and landscaping.   There will also be a patio at the ground level and one on the top floor  which will allow patrons to view the airfield.    One major issue is identifying how this use is and “accessory use” to the Airport.  Mr. Rabideau  addressed this as follows:    a. It responds to a need identified by the Airport.  b. Hotel amenities (including food) will be available to all Airport passengers  c. It is located on the main Airport property    d. It is dependent on parking in the Airport garage    It is anticipated that the average stay will be one night, including use by flight crews.    Mr. Rabideau said it is their belief that there is adequate parking consisting of 2300 garage  spaces and 400 surface spaces.  On the average, those spaces are 50‐60% occupied with as high  as 80% seasonal highs.  Mr. Behr noted that at times he has had to drive around for a while in  order to find parking.  He asked if there will be spaces identified for hotel use.  Mr. Rabideau  said the intent is to keep them together.  Mr. Behr asked about employee parking.  An Airport  representative said they anticipate 30 employees, 15‐20 at any given time.  Mr. Rabideau  added that some customers will be coming by bus and taxi services.  Mr. Kochman expressed  skepticism about the parking estimates.  Mr. Lackey said they will provide statistics.  Mr. Miller  asked if the rental cars would be moved out of the garage.  Mr. Lackey said they would remain  at the north end.  Mr. Miller stressed the need for parking data at preliminary plat.    Mr. Behr asked about the restaurant.  Mr. Rabideau said it will be open for 3 meals a day to all  Airport customers.    Mr. Rabideau then showed a rendering of the building which will be designed as three distinct  part.  It will be of masonry, brick and limestone, with some composite siding.  There will be no  vinyl siding.  It is intended to be a very attractive building, totally non‐combustible.      Mr. Sullivan asked about a fitness center.  Mr. Rabideau said they haven’t settled on a hotel  chain as yet, and some have different amenity packages.            DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD  17 APRIL 2018  PAGE 6    Mr. Rabideau noted the front yard setback on Airport Drive is 50 feet.  One corner of the  building encroaches that.  It could be adjusted, but Mr. Rabideau said they are asking for  flexibility.  Members felt this was acceptable as it allowed the building to line up with the  garage.    With regard to the height waiver, Ms. Keene said this can be compensated for by additional  setbacks or by going the PUD route.  Mr. Rabideau said they have chosen the PUD option.   Members were OK with this choice.    Mr. Kochman asked about a possible roof garden amenity.  Mr. Rabideau said there is already  one on the garage, so it is not part of the sketch plan.  They will, however, provide  infrastructure for solar panels.    Mr. Rabideau noted they will be plugging into the rec path in front for use by the neighborhood  and that they will look at how the interface between the sidewalk and rec path will work.    Mr. Belair noted that trees and shrubs that are being removed will have to be replaced if they  are part of an existing plan requirement.  Staff can help with that.    Mr. Rabideau said they will be doing an overall traffic analysis.      No other issues were raised.    10. Policy for Committee Review of Development Review Applications:    Ms. Keene said there is some confusion on the part of committees regarding reviewing of  applications.  The idea is for the DRB to indicate what they want from a committee and for the  committee to provide a statement of the goals they would have for that application.  The  committee could appoint a liaison to come to a DRB meeting.    Mr. Kochman said he would like the second “bullet” eliminated and the last “bullet” softened.   He felt it was ill‐advised for individuals to speak on behalf of a committee when, in fact, they  don’t.  He also did not want it to appear that a committee was acting as a second DRB.  Other  members agreed.            DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD  17 APRIL 2018  PAGE 7    Mr. Kochman then moved that the Board accept the policy for Committee Review of  Development Review Applications with the proposed amendments.  Ms. Smith seconded.   Motion passed 6‐0.      11. Minutes of 3 April 2018:    Mr. Cota moved to approve the Minutes of 3 April as presented.   Mr. Kochman seconded.   Motion passed 6‐0.    12. Other Business:    There was no other business.    As there was no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned by  common consent at 8:50 p.m.    These minutes were approved by the Board on ___.
