Re: Goss Jeep Renovation & Addition, Amendment Application
1650 Shelburne Road, South Burlington, VT 05403
EV Project No. 20001
Marty,
On behalf of our client, Goss Jeep, please find attached an Application for Administrative Site Plan Review
to amend Site Plan Application #SP-24-06. The application seeks administrative approval for proposed
modifications to the site plan.
The following materials are attached to assist in your review of the requested amendment:
• Application for Administrative Site Plan Review.
• Civil site plans (including C001, C002, C100, C101, C102, C103, C104, C500, C501, and C502).
• Lighting Plan (LP100) showing existing and new site lighting.
• Cutsheet for proposed canopy downlights.
• Vermont DEC Email.
The required application fee of $153 has been paid through the City’s online portal.
Project Description
The proposed modifications include the addition of eight downlights at the building canopies. The
attached Lighting Plan (LP100) shows both existing and new exterior site lighting, with the new downlights
designated as fixtures F16 on the plan. Additionally, the Applicant proposes installing a 1,000-gallon
storage tank on the south side of the building to collect snowmelt and rainwater from vehicles in the
customer drop-off bays via interior trench drains. Originally, these drains were to connect to the existing
oil/grit separator (OGS) on the north side of the building, but the project team has since concluded that
there is insufficient slope for proper discharge to the OGS. Therefore, the team proposes installing an

underground holding tank to collect the snowmelt, which could then either be pumped out via vacuum
truck or manually pumped to the OGS using a sump pump.
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, Drinking Water & Groundwater Protection
Division indicated that since the snowmelt does not meet the definition of “wastewater,” the installation
of a holding tank to collect interior trench drain discharge does not require a Water/Wastewater permit.
A copy of the email correspondence is attached.
Some minor pipe routing changes have been included in the revisions to accommodate the storage tank
and revised interior plumbing. The site plan has also been updated to show a minor expansion of concrete
sidewalk areas on the south and north sides of the vehicle showroom to allow for display vehicles to be
moved in and out of the showroom through bifold windows. While the planned landscaping layout will be
impacted by this minor change, the number of plants will be maintained, being shifted to fill in the area
between the showroom and the exterior vehicle display.
There are no proposed revisions to the architectural plans. No waivers or variances are requested.
Proposed Construction Schedule
April 2024 – November 2024
We trust this submission is complete; however, if you have any additional questions or require any
additional information to finalize the permit, please do not hesitate to contact us.
