Home My WebLink AboutMP-24-03 - Supplemental - 0850 Hinesburg Road (22)1 Marla Keene From:Tom DiPietro Sent:Monday, August 26, 2024 11:50 AM To:Marla Keene; Jay Nadeau; Erica Quallen; Marisa Rorabaugh; Paul Conner; Terry Francis; Casey Follensbee Subject:Re: MP-24-03 & SD-24-08 850 Hinesburg Road - technical review Marla, I'd like to provide the following comments on this application:  The proposed project does not appear to accommodate the City's future ownership of infrastructure. If this is the applicant's intent, or a future requirement, then we recommend further discussions to clarify what is necessary.  Any infrastructure in a future City owned ROW, must be constructed in accordance with the South Burlington Public Works Standards and Specifications. My understanding is that the applicant is currently proposing a gravel road that would be reconstructed to become a paved road if / when the road becomes public in the future. The South Burlington Public Works Standards and Specifications do not include an approved standard for gravel roads. If the DRB were to approve a gravel road it would need to be reconstructed such that it fully meets the established road specification for paved roads (including drainage, sub-base, etc) if /when the road becomes public. This would be highly disruptive to residents then living on the street. DPW would also need to review the proposed gravel road specification closer to make sure that it could support emergency vehicles. Under no circumstances will the City accept responsibility for a gravel road in the future. I do not recommend approval of a gravel road.  The "Neighborhood Street - Narrow" street typology requires a minimum ROW of 40'. The applicant should consider providing more than the minimum required ROW.  It is unclear if proposed infrastructure including driveway culverts, ditches, water lines, and sewer pipes are within the proposed 40' wide road ROW. A future submission needs to show this information on a single sheet. Any infrastructure proposed for future city ownership must be within the ROW and have sufficient space on either side of the infrastructure to repair / replace / maintain it in the future. This typically means 10' on either side pipes. Sections of pipe outside the ROW will require sufficient easements.  Sidewalk location must be shown and included in the ROW.  The applicant will need to obtain an appropriate wastewater allocation to accommodate the project.  The applicant will need to obtain an appropriate drinking water allocation to accommodate the project.  The "Neighborhood Street - Narrow" street typology does not accommodate on-street parking. Applicant will need to provide signage to this effect.  The application should review the City's stormwater ordinance to ensure that policies related to the future acceptance of stormwater infrastructure are clear. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. 2 -Tom From: Marla Keene <mkeene@southburlingtonvt.gov> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2024 2:09 PM To: Tom DiPietro <tdipietro@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Jay Nadeau <jay.nadeau@champlainwater.org>; Erica Quallen <equallen@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Marisa Rorabaugh <MRorabaugh@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Paul Conner <pconner@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Terry Francis <tfrancis@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Casey Follensbee <cfollensbee@southburlingtonvt.gov> Subject: RE: MP-24-03 & SD-24-08 850 Hinesburg Road - technical review Hi Everyone, Thanks for providing your comments. Their hearing got delayed due to an error in process, so I provided them their master plan comments in advance, and yesterday afternoon they provided updated plans and a response letter (response saved here: Keene - Prel & Masterl Cover Letter 8-21-24.pdf ). This was all in the context of the Master Plan, but some of the updated plans are also to the preliminary plat plans for phase 1 (in the preliminary plat folder). Can you please take a look by Monday and provide updated comments? The updated plans have been integrated into the folders below. Hopefully it’ll be quick since you’ve already looked at it, and their cover memo is pretty well organized. Let me know if you have questions. Sincerely, Marla Keene, PE Development Review Planner City of South Burlington (802) 846-4106 From: Marla Keene Sent: Monday, July 1, 2024 2:23 PM To: Tom DiPietro <tdipietro@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Jay Nadeau <jay.nadeau@champlainwater.org>; Erica Quallen <equallen@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Marisa Rorabaugh <MRorabaugh@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Paul Conner <pconner@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Terry Francis <tfrancis@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Casey Follensbee <cfollensbee@southburlingtonvt.gov> Subject: MP-24-03 & SD-24-08 850 Hinesburg Road - technical review Hi folks, The Wrights have submitted a master plan application and a preliminary plat application for phase 1 to subdivide their lots and develop additional homes on the new lots. The subdivision involves creation of a new lot surrounding the existing non-conforming commercial parking facility and development of a new home on that lot, which is a strange enough thing to do that I’m worried it’ll cause issues. The Board will review this application on July 16. Please provide comments by Monday July 8. Master Plan Project description: Master plan application #MP-24-03 of WGM Associates to subdivide an existing approximately 10.0 acre lot developed with three homes and an existing non-conforming commercial or private parking facility into ten single family home lots ranging from 0.26 acres to 2.05 acres, one single family home lot with an existing non-conforming commercial or private parking facility on 1.52 acres, and one 1.0 acre civic space lot, 850 Hinesburg Road. Master Plan Folder: MP-24-03_850 Hinesburg_WGM_2024-07-16 Preliminary Plat project description: Preliminary plat application #SD-24-08 of WGM Associates for phase one of a concurrent master plan for a development consisting of eleven single family homes and an existing non-conforming commercial or 3 private parking facility. The phase consists of the creation of seven lots, three containing existing single family homes, two to contain new homes, one to contain an existing non-conforming commercial or private parking facility and new home, and one civic space lot, 850 Hinesburg Road.
