Richard R. Ward Zoning !Administrator 1175 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Dick: ic• • r ► r �wuga)r�����Kp i' DEPARTMENT OF FORESTS AND PARKS Box 121 Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 Reference is made to your request concerning my discussion with 14r. Norman Ramsey in regard to landscaping the proposed Anchorage Ylotor Inn on Dorset Street. "!though much of the site is wooded and the developer proposes to utilize existing trees where possible, it was brought to his attention that the majority of these trees consist of intolerant, short-lived species many of which are highly defective. It was suggested that the wooded area ad;acent to Dorset Street be eliminated for the above reasons. In addition, the proposed change in grade would most certainly hasten mortality thuse leading to an unsightly situation. I suggested that this area be established in lawn and planted with adaptable deciduous and coniferous species, nursery grown - balled and burlap and of at least 211 caliper. I have recommended specific species as well as obtaining the services of a landscape architect or qualified nurseryman. In addition to the above mentioned area, I expressed my concern over the border areas to the north and east as they will be highly subjected to root system danizge and compaction due to the small size of the planting strip created by the par;in� areas. I recommended supplemental planting in these areas to ensure screening as mortality of the existing trees continues. Sincerely, illia:?: P. Hall County Forester 6 P1,1jki cc: Curt Carter MEMORANDUM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COPC-,ISSION rROY1: RICHARD WARD, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR RE: REVISED LANDSCAPING PLAN, ANCHORAGE MOTOR INN, 108 DORSET STREET. DATE: DECEMBER 5, 1975 Based on a recommendation from Mr. William Hall, Chittenden County Forester (see attached letter) a second landscaping plan was prepared. As noted in Hall's letter he suggests eliminating the wooded area adjacent to Dorset Street, the revised plan proposes to establish a lawn level with Dorset Street and planting maple and oak trees 2 to 3 inch caliper. Along the borders the existing trees will remain, these are maple and birch ranging from 1 to 8 inch caliper, in addition white pine 4-6 ft. will be planted 10 ft. on center. To date the existing trees adjacent to Dorset Street have suffered great damage during construction and installation of utilities, these trees will not survive this damage. Presently Ramsey Associates has posted with the City a �2,500 landscaping bond, this bond covers the.first plan which involved a minimum of new plantings, as noted by the attached planting contract the new plan will increase in cost. My recommendation is to increase the performance bond by $410000, 11 ALOAMASG. it an°ci; GARDENSIDE NURSERIES, INC.

Belait; imstrative Officer Re: February 1® 2000 agenda items '• ;. 2000 This application involves replacement of the face of an existing 53.6 square foot wall sign with a new sign. The property is currently used as a hotel - The Anchorage Inn. A photo rendering of the sign is eridused. The proposed sign will be internally lighted. The sign is lexan with a mahogany brown background and gold lettering. The lettering will match the lettering of the freestanding sign on the property. The proposed sign appears to meet all of the design review criteria including design consistency, promotion of city center goal, compatibility of color and texture and construction of suitable materials. The proposed sign is consistent with the coloring and font used on the freestanding sign. The City Center Design review Committee reviewed this proposal at their 1/24/00 meeting (see enclosed minutes). Staff recommends that the Board approve the application with the following stipulations: 1. This approval is for compliance with only the design review criteria contained in the South Burlington Sign Ordinance (i.e., section 4(a) - (d)). The decision of whether or not this application complies with all other provisions of the Sign Ordinance shall be made by the Code officer. 2. The applicant shall obtain a sign permit from the Code Officer within six (6) months of this approval or this approval is null and void. I Memorandum - Development Review Board February 2000 January 28, 2000 3. Any future change to the wording on the sign may be approved by the Director of Planning & Zoning provided the Director determines the change to be in compliance with the approved sign design (i.e., similar colors, similar font, etc). 4® Any change to the sign design shall require approval of the Development Review Board. ) THE VAN SICKLEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - 49 UNIT PD - PRELIMINARIf PLAT This project consists of amending a previously approved planned residential development approved on 4/28/98 consisting of 55 single family lots on 61.8 acres. a The amendment consists of subdividing a 61.77 acre parcel into 58 lots resulting in: 1) 28 single family lots, 2) a 10.57 acre lot for an existing single family dwelling, 3) a 6.03 acre parcel consisting of nine (9) two-family dwellings, two (2) single family dwellings, 28 footprint lots and an open space lot, 4) five (5) open space lots, and 6) a 0.11 acre parcel to be conveyed to an adjoining property owner. The sketch plan was reviewed on 11/16/99 (minutes enclosed). This property located at 1550 Hinesburg Road lies within the SEQ Zoning District, C.O. District, Floodplain Overlay District and Hinesburg Road - South View Protection Zone. It is bounded on the north by Van Sicklen Road, on the east by a single family dwelling, on the west by Hinesburg Road, and on the south by farm land. Access: Access is proposed to be provided by a new city street intersecting with Van Sicklen Road at the same two (2) points that the streets in the previous proposal intersected with Van Sicklen Road. Applicant should explore the feasibility of moving the westerly access to the west to preserve a larger open space area. A private street with one (1) connection to the new City street is proposed to serve nine (9) duplex buildings and a single family dwelling (19 units). Section 401(k)(1)(b) of the subdivision regulations requires that a multi -family residential development must have two '2` - �rots of access on a public road. The Development Review Board may approve more than ten ( 10) units if it determines that increasing the number of units served by a private roadway will not have an adverse effect on the public good and welfare of the community. A 60 foot r.o.w. is proposed to extend from the new public street southward to the southern boundary. This 2 1 /24/00 MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL Robert McCarroll - 108 Dorset Street I move the City Center Design Review Committee recommend approval of the Design Review application of Robert McCarroll to replace the face of an existing 53.6 square foot wall sign on a building used for hotel use, 108 Dorset Street, as depicted on a photo exhibit (Anchorage Inn) with a stamped received date of 1/10/00, with the following stipulations: 1. This recommendation for approval is based solely on the application's compliance with the design review criteria contained in Section 4 of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance. The determination of whether or not this application complies with all other requirements contained in the sign ordinance shall be made by the Code Officer. 2. Any future change to the wording on the sign may be approved by the Director of Planning & Zoning provided the Director determines the change to be in compliance with the approved sign design (i.e., Similar colors, similar font, etc.) (Drmotionsign) DF7AF CITY CENTER DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE JANUTARY 24, 2000 The South Burlington City Center Design Review Committee held a meeting on Monday, January 24, 2000 at 7:30 P.M. in the City Hall conference room, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present: David Boehm, Frank Clark, Mary Benoit, Donna Leban, Bonnie Pelky. Also Present: Joe Weith, Director of Planning & Zoning; Steve Stitzel, City Attorney. 1) Minutes of December 27, 1999 The minutes of December 27, 1999 were approved unanimously. 2) Design Review application of Robert McCarroll to replace the face of an existing 53.6 square foot wall sign on a building used for hotel use, 108 Dorset Street. #DR-00-01 The applicant was not present so Mr. Weith presented the application. He said that the existing wall sign on the south side of the Anchorage Inn building will be replaced. The old sign is red with white lettering. The proposal is to replace the sign face with one that has a brown background with gold lettering. The colors and fonts are very similar to the recently approved and installed freestanding sign on the property. The Committee members expressed support for the proposed sign. Mr. Clark moved the City Center Design Review Committee recommend approval of the Design Review application of Robert McCarroll to replace the face of an existing 53.6 square foot wall sign on a building used for hotel use 108 Dorset Street as depicted on a photo exhibit (Anchorage Inn) with a stamped received date of 1/10/00, with the following stimulations: 1 This recommendation for approval is based solely on the application's compliance with the design review criteria contained in Section 4 of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance. The determination of whether or not this application complies with all other requirements contained in the sign ordinance shall be made by the Code Officer. 2 Any future change to the wording on the sign may be approved by the Director of Planning & Zoning provided the Director determines the change to be in compliance with the approved sign design (i.e., similar colors, similar font. etc.). The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. 3) Discussion with City Attorney, Steve Stitzel, regarding application and interpretation of the City Center Design Review Overlay District criteria. Mr. Stitzel asked each member to describe their professional experience and any former involvement with a citizen board. He said that it is the responsibility of each member when reviewing an application to use their professional judgement in making a determination as to whether or not an application complies with the design review criteria. He said that it is k, J important to get at least three members to come to consensus in making a decision. It is very important to the Development Review Board (DRB) to get a "group" recommendation from the Design Review Committee (DRC). Mr. Stitzel suggested that the DRC let the DRB know who is on the design review committee and their professional expertise in design. This helps build a trust and gives the DRC more credibility. Mr. Stitzel also recommended that DRC members have the ordinance out in front of them when reviewing an application. He stressed that the members should not approach an application with preconceived notions of how a building should look or how a property should be developed. The members should apply what has been proposed against each and every provision in the ordinance. In addition, all recommendations from the DRC should have clearly articulated reasons behind them. It is very important to not send confusing recommendations onto the DRB. Mr. Clark asked about approving applications with conditions that require an applicant to work out details with staff. Mr. Stitzel said this is not a problem as long as the DRC has given staff clear parameters to work with. Mr. Stitzel addressed the issue of applications that deal with minor changes to a building that is completely nonconforming to the provisions of the design review ordinance. He said that the DRC's authority is limited to only the changes being proposed. For example, a change to windows and doors on a building that is metal sided and has a flat roof is limited only to the windows and doors. The DRC cannot require new siding and the construction of a pitched roof. There may be a little latitude, but it must be related to the specific changes proposed. Mr. Boehm said that the intent when the ordinance was written was to allow a full review of design issues when one of the triggers was met. The only trigger that was limited was the change in use trigger. Mr. Stitzel said that if this is the desire of the Committee, it should be clarified in the ordinance. He also said that he would ask for time to research the constitutionality of such a provision. Mr. Stitzel addressed the issue of PUD's and applications submitted by individual tenants of a PUD. He said that legally, the DRC should look at the entire development and all land included in the PUD, not just the individual space occupied by the tenant. Conditions imposed on the applicant are technically conditions imposed on the owner of the property. Mr. Stitzel said that he is working with staff to update application forms to require landowners to be co - applicants. 4) Other Business Next meeting is scheduled for February 28, 2000 at 7:30 P.M.

Consent Agenda: a) Design review request of Anchorage Inn to replace an existing 40 square foot freestanding sign with a new 32 square foot freestanding sign, 108 Dorset Street b) Design review request of Donny's Pizza to replace an existing wall sign (on awning) with a new wall sign (on awning), 364 Dorset Street. No issues were raised on either item. Mr. Dinklaae moved to approve the two consent agenda items subject to the conditions in the Director of Planniny, & Zoning's memorandum of 18 June 1999 Ms Quimby seconded Motion passed unanimously. 3. Sketch plan application of Ashbrook Park Homeowners Association to amend a previously approved 17 unit planned unit development consisting of three buildings. The amendment consists of creating separate lots under the footprint of each unit, 701 Dorset Street: Mr. Morwood explained that the project was approved in the 1980's. The developer made a mistake and got approval for a condominium project and then conveyed the units as town houses. The issue was never raised until about a month ago. Mr. Belair said there is no problem doing this. It has been done several times before. Members agreed to go straight to final plat. 4. Public Hearing: Preliminary plat application of Windjammer Hospitality Group/Evelyn Lamplough to subdivide a 54.4 acre parcel with a hotel/restaurant use, into two lots of 52.9 acres and 1.5 acres, 1076 Williston Road: Mr. Knudsen said the application is identical to the one seen at sketch plan review. No development is proposed. The purpose of the subdivision is to isolate a piece of property that is encumbered by a right of first refusal. The outstanding issue is frontage on Williston Road. Lot 2 would have only 50 feet of frontage on that road, and the City Attorney says this is not in compliance with the Ordinance as 200 feet is that requirement. The applicant said they will dispute this as there is 200 feet of frontage on Patchen Road, and they feel this meets the requirement. 2 Agreement Between City of South Burlington and Century Partners, a Limited Partnership WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of South Burlington (the "City") and Century Partners, a Limited Partnership ("CP") to contribute to the enhancement of a streetscape/sidewalk along the northern edge of Corporate Way in South Burlington between the intersection of Dorset Street and Corporate Way, proceeding easterly for approximately 220' to the southwest corner of property owned by CP on Corporate Way.

HAFTER January 7. 199� Bob McCarroll J Anchorage Inn 108 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05403 Re: Sidewalk/Landscaping Improvements - Corporate Way Dear Bob: Thank you for meeting with Jim Harvel and me yesterday. As we have been discussing over the past several months, the City would like to acquire land from the Anchorage along Corporate Way so that we may construct sidewalk improvements and install new landscaping. Enclosed is a revised plan showing the proposed improvements. The area which the City would like to acquire from the Anchorage is highlighted in yellow. In exchange for the land dedication, the City will construct a new sidewalk, install new street trees along Corporate Way, and construct all improvements on the Anchorage property which are necessary to accommodate the new sidewalk. As shown on the plan, the x-section will consist of the following: 0 5 foot landscaped green strip along Corporate Way, 0 5 foot concrete sidewalk, 0 3 foot green strip between the sidewalk and paved travel way, 0 11 foot (at narrowest point), one-way paved travel way on Anchorage property. I have reviewed the plan with the fire department, specifically the proposed 11 foot wide travel lane near the southeast corner of the building, and they feel adequate fire protection can be provided. I look forward to your response regarding this proposal. If it is acceptable to Mr. Ramsey, I will have the City Attorney draft the appropriate legal documents for your review.

B U"_R I T COMMISSTON SOUTH JINGTON PL.-4.NTNING MEMORANDUM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: RICHARD WARD, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR RE: REVISED PARKING AND LANDSCAPING PLAN, ANCHORAGE MOTOR INN DATE: MARCH 309 1976 The revised plan dated March 29, 1976 provides 95 parking spaces, four spaces added to the front of the building to provide for employee parking and for customers that will register not choosing to use the drive -up window system. Additional landscaping has been added directly in front of the building as per my recommendation of March 19, 1976 in the amount of approximately four hundred and ninety (490) dollars, in addition two large existing maple trees will be saved by the developer. A sidewalk will be installed directly in front of the building. The original plan provided a sidewalk and a deceleration .lane With the four parking spaces and the driveway, better than 65% of the front yard will remain landscaped and grass. This exceeds the zoning requirements. It is my opinion that 91 spaces will not be adequate should the motel have a 100% occupancy, the additional four spaces will provide for employee parking. The revised plan provides for more landscaped area to the rear of the building. The landscaping bond should be increased to cover the additional landscaping. The parking area should be striped including the direction arrows. We presently have a bond on file, for the installation of a deceleration lane, sidewalk and catch basin work. MEMORANDUM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: RICHARD WARD, ZONING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER RE: ANCHORAGE MOTOR INN, 108 DORSET STREET DATE: MARCH 19, 1976 Revised parking plan, March 3, 1976. Due to a revised floor plan, the motel has an increase of nine (9) additional units, requiring ari additional nine (9) parking spaces. The developer has designed a new plan showing 100 parking spaces to allow for employee parking. The motel is required by ordinance to provide 91 off-street parking spaces. The two major changes are: 1) within the front yard the lawn and planted area has been reduced to 39 feet paralleling Dorset Street, nine parking spaces of 225 square feet each have been added. Landscaped area from directly in front of the building has been increased to a depth of 25 feet. 2) the rear yard has been redesigned to allow for 54 parking spaces, which decreases the black top area and allows for a larger landscaped area directly to the rear of the building. The egress and ingress is the same, with the exception that the island at the entrance will be 5' x 42' instead of 5' x 64' as per the original plan. The proposed spaces will contain 162 square feet each, providing that the parking area is striped. Although the proposed spaces contain 162 square feet they are not laid out at 10' x 16' which is spelled out in the zoning ordinance. Section 13.40 allows the Planning Commission in its judgment, to find that the minimum size is excessive. Recently, this office discussed size of spaces with Mr. Frank Alling of Allco Striping Corp. Mr. Alling feels that a 9 foot spaces is adequate for uses which do not generate a large turn over. However, he feels that a larger space (10 ft. or better) should be required in areas that do generate a large turn over, such as shopping centers. Larger spaces allow for easier turning movements and entrance into and out of a vehicle. - 2 - Mr. Alling feels that he would have no trouble providing the required number of spaces (91) at a size of 10' x 161, if so required by the Planning Commission. My recommendation isq that if the Commission approves the parking plan as submitted, they should stipulate that the lot be striped including the direction arrows as shown. The landscaping plan will remain as per the plan approved by the Commission on December 9, 1975, however, I recommend that the area directly in front of the building be landscaped with additional shrubs.

Ramsey Dorset Street South Burlington, Vt. 05401 RE: Motel water Service Line Dear Mr. Ramsey: Your question regarding the adequacy of a t-wo inch water service line to service your new 80 unit motel on Dorset St., I can only answer by giving you same data as to anticipated capacity of the line and what our experience is with similar installations. The static pressure in the area is approximately 80 p.s.i. If your demand is 100 gallons per minute at the motel you can expect a drop of approximately 15 p.s.i. or a-ressure at the motel`of approximately 65 p.s.i. If the demand is greater a decrease in pressure should be expected. We have a 24 unit motel on Shelburne Road that is served by a 3/4 inch service. Another motel on Williston Road containing 26 units is served by two 3/4 inch services. There is no knowledge of any complaints from these establish- ments regarding a deficiency in water service.

In view of the construction damage to the existing trees we concur with the recommendation of Forester Hall in his letter of December 1, 1975 to Mr Richard Ward, Zoning Administrator. It is our estimate that the trees that are to be retained on the north and east have a value of U2,000 although it is difficult to estimate because the trees to be retained are not marked. We do concur with the planting plan apd contract of Gardenside Nursery dated 5 December excepting that it should be increased to the full value required less the 42,000 for the value of the retained trees.

DATE: DCEO BER 15 ./ 1 197 5 Based on a recommendation from Mr. William Hall, Chittenden County Forester (see attached letter) a second. landscaping plan was prepared. As noted in Hall's letter he suggests eliminating the wooded area adjacent to Dorset Street, the revised plan proposes to establish a lawn level with Dorset Street and planting, maple and oak trees 2 to 3 inch caliper. Along the borders the eyisting trees will. remain, these are maple and birch rangin{ from 1 to 8 inch caliper, in addition white pine 4-6 ft. will be planted 10 ft. on center. To date the existing trees adjacent to Dorset Street have suffered great damage during construction and installation 01-1' Utilities, these trees will- not survive this dariage. Presently Ramsey .'�ssociates has posted with the City a .J�-2,500 landscaping bond, this bond covers the first plan which involved a mir,imum of new plantings, as noted by the attached planting contract the new plan will. increase in C�' cost.

Very truly, Richard 1.%ard Zoning Administrative Officer RIXT/J PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 23, 19766 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a meeting on Tuesday, March 23, 1976, in the Conference Room, Municipal Offices, 1175 Williston Road. MEMBERS PRESENT William Wessel, Chairman; James Ewing, Frank Armstrong, Frank Lidral, Arlene Krapcho, Ernest Levesque MEMBERS ABSENT None OTHERS PRESENT Stephen Page, Planning Assistant; Jacqueline A. Fuller, Normand A. Ramsay, Michael Ramsay, Louis Sasier, Edward Manship The meeting was opened at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Wessel. Minutes of March 16, 1976 Action on the Minutes of March 16, 1976. was deferred until the next meeting. Site plan review -- Anchorage Motor Inn, Mr, Normand Ramsay Mr, Normand Ramsay presented drawings showing the revisions to the original plan which had been approved by the Planning Commission. The new plan pro- vided for additional parking spaces, he said, allowed for better use of the land, and provided for a better greenbelt around the building itself, with a 39 foot greenbelt at the front and 25 feet around the building. Chairman Wessel asked if the additional spaces were all gained at the front. Mr. Ramsay said only 9 were gained in front, but they found it more practical to have some parking in front vs. having it all at the end and in the rear. They would now have a 50 foot greenbelt in the rear of the building which they didn't have with the other plan. Mrs. Krapcho asked if he was required to provide 91 spaces. Mr. Ramsay said most cities require one parking space for every unit, plus one space for every employee. They would now have 100; on the old plan they had 82. Mrs. Krapcho asked if he was picking up spaces by reducing the size of the individual spaces in the back parking area. Mr. Ramsay said he understood South Burlington had revised its ordinance for parking spaces, and he was told that what he has will conform to the requirements. The spaces are 9 x 18. Mr. Levesque asked why he was keeping the 9 spaces in the front when originally it was designed for drive -up service. Mr. Ramsay replied it still is, but if someone didn't want to use the drive -up entrance they would park in the driveway and block it up. They do this, so you have to be prepared for the worst. Mrs. Krapcho said she really didn't go along with providing parking in the front, and commented there have been so many changes in this plan since it was originally presented to the Planning Commission. 2. PLANNING COMMISSION MA RCH 2 3 L12L6 Mr. Armstrong said he was not in favor of the parking at the front. It would detract from what could be a very good looking building. It might make it a little harder getting in and out, especially in snow. Mrs. Krapcho asked what he intended to do with the snow, Mr. Ramsay said they have not paved all the way to the property line. This gives an area into which to push the snow. About 12 feet to the property line. Asked about landscaping on that piece, Mr. Ramsay said it would be only the trees that exist now. Mrs. Krapcho asked if that was true of the buffer area all around, all the border area would have no new planting. Mr. Ramsay explained there is new planting all around the border. By plant- ing them on the property line there is sti`I1 10 feet to store snow. The State engineer said all these other trees would die anyway. Mr. Levesque said he wished to go on record as disagreeing with the State engineer. They have just knocked down some good red maples there. With the trees it would have looked nice; without those trees the motel is destroyed from an aesthetic point of view. Mr. Wessel asked about an island, saying the Commission had taken somewhat different positions from time to time on an island. He said it was probably better to have an island if there is room to separate the traffic. Mr. Page said this plan was better than some of the plans he has seen because a person has to go quite a ways in to get to a parking space, where as in some places there is a parking space right on the edge of the front yard. It is less the length of the island and more the fact that there is no parking space right close to the entrance to block it. Mrs. Krapcho said if the Commission said No to parking in the front, there still have been some significant adjustments made in the plan for the front of the building. The depth of the green area abutting on the building itself has been increased. Mr. Ramsay said he had not done anything yet. The trees were changed because of the recommendation of the State Engineer. It was established that Mr. Ramsay was actually referring to Bill Hall, the County Forester, not a State Engineer. Mr. Ewing asked Mr. Ramsay if he had originally requested permission for 82 units and the building he has built consists of 91. Mr. Ramsay said Yes. Mr. Ewing said the original building was described as being more of a Colonial type of building and asked Mr. Ramsay if that was right. Mr. Ramsay that was right. It all depends on what is referred to as Colonial. Basicly the building is the same except the roof of the office is changed from a shed roof to a gabled roof which is a more attractive roof. Mr. Ewing asked if the building was going to be white clapboard exterior, as it had been described. Mr. Ramsay said No, it was going to be shake shingles. He said they also have received approval from the environmental agency. The architect sub- mitted it and got the approval on it. The approval was given but they had to make some changes. Mr. Ewing asked if he planned to make any more changes. Mr. Ramsay replied No, this is just about the final. He didn't expect to be back to the Planning Commission. Mrs. Krapcho asked Mr. Page about his recommendation for further landscaping and Mr. Page said there should be something adjacent to the building in front to give a better appearance to someone driving by. He didn't know what had occurred as to the planting in front. Mr. Ramsay said "Nothing." 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2Z6 Mr. Page explained it might be more attractive aestheticly for a modest kind of transition, a modest landscaping in front. Mrs. Krapcho asked if further clarification was needed regarding the idea Mr. Page had explained about the landscaping in front of. the building. If the Commission chooses to do so, it could ask Mr. Ramsay to present a revised landscaping plan to show treatment of that additional area in front of the building as a transitional area between the 21 story height of the building and the lower landscaping that will be in the area closer to the street. Mr. Ramsay that would be the intent by widening it out to give a chance to get more landscaping closer to the building and get a wider greenbelt at the back of the building. The rear is important because half of the rooms are in back and would be looking out on a green area rather than paving. A couple of maple trees that are already there will be retained. Chairman Wessel asked if the amount of bond had been calculated. Mr. Page said it had not been done. Mrs. Krapcho asked if this would require a revised landscaping plan, and Mr. Page thought only for the plan next to the building in front. Mr. Armstrong said at one time Mr. Ramsay had a complete plan drawn up by Gardenside Nursery and the plan was to remove all existing trees and have new planting. The Planning Commission approved that plan. Mr. Haddock might have to modify that plan now. Mrs. Krapcho said the amount of landscaping could perhaps change and the whole question could be reviewed. Mr. Page reviewed his memorandum of March 19, 1976. He said Mr. Ward had talked with the Allco Striping Corporation and he felt the 9 foot parking spaces were adequate. Regarding the requirement for loading and unloading spaces, there would be no significant loading and un- loading going on there. The laundry is in-house, there is no restaurant, there is no bar, it is simply a case of the people going in and out and the miscellaneous workers. Mrs. Krapcho asked about continuing the sidewalk across the driveway. Mr. Page said that was Mr. Szymanski's recommendation; the plan doesn't show it. He said he and Mr. Ward had talked this over. Mr. Page said Mr. Ramsay has an opening date of mid -April and a temporary certificate of occupancy could be issued and the landscaping would have to be in order by June before a permanent certificate of occupancy could be Issued. The temporary permit would expire, at which time the landscaping would have to be in. This is another backup for the bonding for land- scaping provisions. Mrs.Krapcho referred to Mr. Ward's recommendation for arrows in the parking area. Mr. Wessel said he wondered whether this was as effective as Exit and Entrance. Mrs. Krapcho said that would be helpful too. Mrs. Krapcho asked if the Commission wanted to table action on this and ask Mr. Ramsay to submit a landscaping plan for review by the Commission and the Landscaping Committee. Mr. Armstrong said it would be only a minor change and he thought it could be turne4 over to Mr. Ward. Mr. Page agreed it was not a major amount of landscaping. Mrs. Krapcho asked if the Commission should facilitate things by moving to approve subject to the submission of this plan, or should it be tabled now with a request for submission of the plan. Mr. Ewing suggested eliminating the 9 spaces and then reviewing the final plan. PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 23, 1976 Mr. Wessel said he felt the bond was very important in this case. Mrs. Krapcho moved that the Planning Commission table action on the revised site plan for the Anchorage Motor Inn. 108 Dorset Street until the next regular meeting and request that. Mr. Normand Ramsay submit a revised land- scaping plan to Mr. Ward and Mr. Page showing appropriate planting for the extended landscaped areas, such plan to show the elimination of the proposed 9 parking spaces at the front of the building. Mrs. Krapcho further requested that Mr. Ramsay return to the Planning Commission with a revised site plan showing all the items indicated in Mr. Page's memorandum of March_19, 1976, plus the revised landscaping. She further moved to request that Mr. Ward of th& site plan. Seconded by Mr. Levesque and voted unanimously►. Review of Council's changes in the proposed Subdivision Regulations Mr. Page distributed copies of his four page memo containing the Council's corrections to the Subdivision Regulations and proceeded to review these with the Planning Commission. Mrs. Krapcho expressed her concern about the whole land development question, the prevention of erosion, of control over the shaping of the land, site preservation; questions which can be covered at the mcment under the sub- divison review. Mr. Page said those conditions can be imposed before the subdivision is done. It is all covered under Section 410. 411, etc. Dick Spokes' point of view is that subdivision has traditionally revolved around municipal installations such as sidewalks, curbs, sewer, and water. Under site plan review the Commission can get the controls needed as far as site development goes. xinnkk Mrs. Krapcho said she didn they had quite the control under site plan review on the question of site development. Mr. Levesque said he would like to use the example of the gentleman who just left. He manipulated and got what he wanted. Mr. Page said he didn't think the review under subdivision requirements would have prevented that. Mr. Ewing said the town of South Burlington is lax. Apparently there is very little way of enforcing it. Mrs. Krapcho suggested monitoring what was going on. Mr. Ewing said that would then mean going to court= there should be other ways of enforcing the regulations and seeing that they are carried out. He said he was sure other municipalities have ways of enforcing which are less expensive as far as the court costs. He suggested if someone was in violation of an ordinance in South Burlington that perhaps someone could be given the power to place a sign on the entrance of a restaurant or public building saying this is condemned or in violation. He felt this would hurt the person's pocketbook much more than going to court. Mr. Schuele asked if the building permit could be revoked. Mr. Ewing said it couldn't be revoked; he couldn't be asked to tear the building down. Mr. Levesque asked if the office of Tree Warden was still in effect and was told this was Sam Wiggans who is also on the Tree Committee. Mr. Levesque referred to the bulldozer wiping out the trees the developer really had a carte blanche; the contracter comes in and wipes out what he wants to.

JOHNSON, Secretary DEPARTMENT OF FORESTS AND PARKS Box 121 Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 Reference is made to ,your request concerning my discussion with Mr. Norman Ramsey in regard to landscaping the proposed .Anchorage Motor Inn on Dorset Street. Although much of the site is wooded and the developer proposes to utilize existing trees where possible, it was brought to his attention that the majority of these trees consist of intolerant, short -.lived species many of which are highly defective. It was suggested that the wooded area a.d;*acent to Dorset Street be eliminated for the above reasons. In addition, the proposed change in grade would most certainly hasten mortality t.huse leading to an unsightly situation. I suggested that this area be established in lawn and planted with adaptable deciduous and coniferous species, nursery grown - balled and burlap and of at least 21, caliper. I have recommended specific species as well as obtaining the services of a landscape architect or qualified nurseryman. In addition to the above mentioned area,, I expressed my concern over the border areas to the north and east as they will be highly subjected to root system damage and compaction due to the small size of the planting strip created by the parking areas. I recommended supplemental planting in these areas to ensure screening as mortality of the existing trees continues. Sincerely, Williad P. Hall County Forester WPH/jki cc: Curt Carter 10.

Spokes, Esq. Date: January 21, 1980 Re: PROPOSED RAMSEY FINDINGS Attached please find some suggested findings for the Ramsey application. From the minutes of the hearings I am unable to offer any specific factual findings for the Council to consider. Obviously traffic is the main issue, but the minutes are con- clusionary in nature and do not offer much factual data to support the conclusions. I would strongly recommend that the Council supplement the proposed findings. I suspect the evidence offered by the traffic engineers should be carefully analysized. It would be appropriate to set forth as a finding the number of anticipated trips expected to be generated by the proposed motel, what effect the number of turning movements may have on the level of service of Williston Road and the Dorset Street - Williston Road, etc. RAS:mi1 u `' G� TYGATE COMPANIES 34 PATCHEN ROAD • SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT 05401 (802) 658-2255 To The City Council: Re: Anchorage II - Norman Ramsey Gentlemen: At the hearing on November 19 we were surprised to discover that the proposed motel had been reduced from 18 to 12 units. Apparently our comments relative to parking space dimensions, on site circulation and a d.ecstleration lane had validity in the eyes of Mr. Ramsey's most recent traffic consultants. The traffic studies and presentations to date, November 17, have taken a very limited scope as though the 12 unit motel will exit in a vacuum and no consideration is taken of the obvious unique characteristics of the project and the surrounding area. The first factor ignored by the study is that the occupancy levels of 5 major motels at the Williston Road cloverleaf; they far exceed the national average figures. From May through October all 5 fill most every evening and experience a large number of turnaways. We were able to record 5,750 turnaways from June through September at the Econo Lodge or an average of 37 cars per day. Many times during our afternoon checking we were too rushed to keep any count so our total turnaways exceed this number. Turnaways are a very real source of traffic both ingressing and egressing yet the study never addresses this source even though it might double or triple the number of anticipated trips. The second factor ignored. by the study is the fact that Mr. Ramsey the owner of Anchorage II is also the owner of the 80 unit Anchorage motel on Dorset Street less than 1,500 feet away. The Anchorage is not visible from the intersection but Anchorage II will be. Guests with Anchorage reservation could easily be mistaken into thinking that Anchorage II is their destination. In addition upon filling the 12 units of Anchorage II its logical to assume that the overflow will be referred to the Dorset Street facility of the owner. It would appear to be a more scientific approach to consider Anchorage II more along the concept of a 92 unit facility for traffic generation purposes. Clearly treating the project as a 12 unit motel ignores the obvious. The third factor is that the physical location of the 12 unit motel which is situated between the Econo Lodge/Windjammer's free standing sign and its entrance some 400 feet away. The free standing sign is situated on the 230 feet of frontage with the motel visually to the rear. The entrance is on a 50 foot wide strip that has no area available for an attractively landscaped free standing sign. Under South Burlington's sign ordinance the Windjammer and. Econo Lodge are limited to a single sign of not more than 40 feet which they must share. Thus, there is no way to mark the entrance other than with entrance and exit signs not larger than two square feet. Between the Econo Lodge frontage and the entrance are four separate proper- ties with six curb cuts. It is not surprising that our greatest complaint is that people cannot find our entrance: As Dan Patch stated at the hearing on November 15 he gets 15 cars per day in his Gulf station during the summer asking where the Econo Lodge entrance is because they cannot find it. If the Anchorage II constructs its entrance as shown on the plan, logic dictates that a portion of the Econo Lodge/Windjammer customers are going to assume that it is the entrance they are look- ing for. Econo Lodge by itself with its 176 units and 37 turnaways per day during the summer will generate over 200 entering vehicles per day. Certainly some portion of those tourists are going to enter the Anchorage II site in error. Just six percent will result in doubling the traffic projected by the study. More importantly each such vehicle to exit the Anchorage II and reach the Econo Lodge must make two additional left hand turn movements on Williston Road. That same six percent error now more than quadruples the number of left hand turn movements the Ramsey study projected during the average rush hour. We believe the three traffic studies and two consultant have presented an unrealistic analysis of the potential traffic impact on Williston Road. Three major traffic generators of trips have been ignored by the study even though they increase the turning move- ments by at least five times the number projected in the study. With that kind of increase in unaddressed turning movement how valid can the time gap information be? Considering this factor, can any of the presentations and traffic studies submitted to date be of any real practical assistance in evaluating the potential traffic impact of this project or the levels of service one can anticipate resulting therefrom. The interim zoning regulations require under section 5C: "Any conditional use application regarding approval of a land development in the interim traffic district shall submit sufficient traffic studies and data to adequately demonstrate that the proposed development will not adversely affect the present level of service on roads in the general area of the proposed development." We submit that after six months on the agenda the applicant has still grossly failed to meet this requirement of the ordinance and this application should therefor be rejected. fib Paul R.

Dear Mr. Graves: Per your request, we have reviewed the attached copy of a revised plan of the above proposed twelve room motel. We wish to make the following comments: The proposed parallel parking spaces scale at 20 feet or less in length. The minimum standard length is 22 feet per space. 2. Parking for employees is not included on the site plan. This should be addressed since there are no public parking facilities nearby. Tel. 878-3956 878-5123 3. The problem of ingress and egress between the site and Williston Road continues to be a potential problem. A vehicle traveling eastbond which desires to go to the Econo Lodge motel will see the Econo Lodge sign and in confusion may turn into the proposed Anchorage II entrance. Then this vehicle will have to drive around the building and make a difficult left turn onto Williston Road to proceed to find the Econo Lodge driveway. The majority of the motel traffic will be from the west. The above wrong turn movements could double or triple the proposed 8 peak hour east- bound evening cars entering the Anchorage II project. The signi- ficant factor here is the number of vehicles which will have to leave the site after a wrong turn movement during peak hours.

The access to the site will create another potential problem on Williston Road with regards to the left turn median lane. This lane is shown on sheet 7 of the Landplan, Inc. traffic analysis dated November 15, 1979. There is a discrepancy in the way that the left turn median lane taper is presented on the above sheet 7. The taper actually extends as far as the easterly side line of the proposed site (see outline in red on a copy of sheet 7 showing the length of taper). The potential problem is that vehicles will have to drive across the median lane taper for entering or leaving the proposed site when left turn vehicles are stacked behind the end of taper waiting to enter Dorset Street. The impact of the University Mall and other develop- ments on Dorset Street now present left turn problems and could require future extension of the Williston Road left turn median lane. This should be considered prior to granting an access which will have to cross the stacking lane. Present and future number of vehicles stored in this stacking lane per cycle should be counted and analyzed for capacity. Driveway access through a median stacking lane could further compromise safety and efficiency on Williston Road. Please contact this office if there are questions on the above.

L Analysis of the Anchorage II on the Traffic Capacity of Williston Road at the Dorset Street and Hinesburg Road Intersections. A. Scope of the Study This study has been prepared for Milot Real Estate and the City of South Burlington in order to determine the impact of traffic generated by the proposed 18 room Anchorage II motel on the major road intersections immediately east and west of the complex. The study relies on existing traffic flow data supplied by the City of South Burlington Planning Commission and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, and is not intended to contain recormendations for alleviating any existing problems. B. Analysis of Present Traffic Conditions 1. Description of Intersections. Both Hinesburg Road, Williston Road and Dorset Street, Williston Road are four corner intersections controlled by fixed cycle traffic signals. The West and East approaches to Dorset Street on Williston Road have three and four lanes - respectively with separate turn signals. The left turn stacking lane for traffic approaching from the east is 320 ± feet long and has a capacity of 13 ± cars. The North and South bound approaches to Williston Road at Dorset Street will not be significantly influenced by this project and are not analyzed in detail. The Williston Road East and West bound approaches to Hinesburg Road are two lane and controlled by fixed cycle three phase traffic signals. Turn signals are not used, but the right turn on red low is in effect. The intersection design appears adequate with the exception of the numerous adjacent curb cuts. The various physical factors influencing the flow of traffic through the intersections are presented in Table I. Page -2- TABLE I INTERSECTION DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS INTERSECTION TRAVEL R.T. L.T.

For Williston Road -Dorset Street these were one hour morning, noon and evening peak hour counts conducted on January 17, 1979 and have been assumed to be indicative of design hour volumes. Similar counts were conducted at Hinesburg Road -Williston Road on January 11, 1979. These are presented in Table III. C. Projected Traffic Increases from the Anchorage II Development. The proposed project is an 18 room motel without restaurant facilities. It is located on the north side of Williston Road, approximately 350 feet east of the Dorset Street intersection. (The distance from the centerline of the existing driveway to the stop line of the westbound approach to the intersection is 347 feet). Traffic generated by the project has been estimated on the basis of I.T.E. (Institute of Transportation Engineers) trip generation standards of 0.9 vehicle trips per room per morning and evening peak hour. Although vehicle trips generated by motels tend to peak equally as much on Saturdays as on weekdays, weekdays only will be considered in this study because of the weekday peak hours of adjoining streets. Origin destination analysis is based on the assumption that Burlington and I-89 will be the primary traffic generators, and industrial uses and airport to the east will be secondary in importance. Accordingly, the traffic impact on Hinesburg Road and Dorset Street will be minimal and is not considered here. It is assumed that all evening trips will be arrivals, and morning trips will be departures. Table II Distribution of additional traffic on Williston Road. NO. OF CARS LEAVING PROJECT NO.

Impact on Intersection Capacity The following Table III summarizes the existing level of capacity of the Williston Road approaches to the Dorset Street and Hinesburg Road intersections, and indicates the impact of additional traffic on their capacity. The westbound approach to Dorset Street is already saturated. Although the proposed motel will add to the problem, the total increase is negligible (11V of existing volume). The level of service for the remaining approaches are within the "stable flow" category and present no capacity problems. 4 TABLE III INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS INTERSECTION APPROACH 1979 PHV* ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TOTAL 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:30 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:30 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:� AM PM AM PM AM PM Williston Rd. & Dorset St. Westbound # Vehicles 926 555 12 --- 938 V/C ratio 1.01 0.60 1.02 no chanc_ Level of.service F B F Eastbound # Vehicles 557 570 -- 12 no change 582 V/C Ratio 0.46 0.61 0.62 Level of Service B B B Williston Road & Hinesburg Rd.

The Ramsey land, subject of this request, borders the Lamplough property on two sides, west and north. Tygate is opposed to the plan as presented for it does not accurately reflect acceptable engineering standards and as a result will not property function. This will necessitate Anchorage II customers to seek other parking and burden adjacent properties. If the plan were to meet minimum engineering standards and reasonable planning concepts it would not have sufficient parking to meet the minimum zoning requirements of South Burlington. For example park- ing spaces 1, 2 and 3 as shown on the attached diagram extend to the boundary lines and thus provide no space for snow storage after plowing. These spaces therefore would be lost during the winter months. Spaces 4, 5, 6 and 10 are only 20' in length and minimum engineering requires a 23' long space for parallel parking. These spaces being adjacent to the property line would also be unusable during the snow season. Spaces 7, 8, 12 and 13 are in the direct path of falling snow from the 2 1/2 story structure, and would also be unusable in winter. Minimum engineering requires a 44' long area (46' preferred) for parking and maneuvering a vehicle for 900 angular parking. Spaces 17, 18 and 19 have only 38' available. The access drive for parallel parking should be a minimum of 20' yet spaces 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 have only 18' wide driveway access. A vehicle entering the site from the west (where applicant's study indicates 75% of the vehicles will approach from) requires cross- ing 3 lanes of Williston Road traffic. A vehicle making such a maneuver should be provided with a reasonable amount of unencumbered space within which to stop once entering the site. A vehicle travelling at 20 mph requires 69 feet in which to stop. If a vehicle were backing out of space No. 1 an entering vehicle would be left with just 19' within which to stop. South Burlington City Council Page 2 October 22, 1979 Reasonable planning would anticipate some use of the facility by travellers with trailers, campers, or commercial users with vans or trailer trucks. This plan shows no capability to handle any of these kinds of vehicles. The one way traffic plan as shown does not provide for an alternative flow in the event a vehicle becomes stuck in snow, disabled or just stopped at the office to check out. There is neither sufficient space to turn around nor space for two vehicles to pass at the narrower portions of the drives. It is respectfully suggested that the request be denied for failure to submit an acceptable plan that demonstrates the plan conforms to the minimum zoning requirements.

The decision to disapprove: the application was un- animous based on the following findings of fact: 1. The Applicant seeks conditional use approval to construct and operate a twelve (12) unit motel at 1108 Williston Road. 2. The lot in question contains approximately .45 acres of land with 125' feet frontage on the northerly side of Williston Koau, and is located approx- imately 315' feet easterly of the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection. 3. The Council's review of this proposal is governed by the standards set l forth in Section 5 of the City's interim zoning regulations. 4. The above cited Section requires findings that the proposed use will not adversly affect the capacity of roads and highways and will not adversly affect traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity. 5. At least one approach to the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection is operating at "D" level of service for many hours of the day including, the morning and late afternoon peak hours. 6. Section 5C of the City's interim regulation requires the Applicant to submit sufficient traffic studies and data to adequately demonstrate that the proposed development will not adversly affect the present level of service on roads in the general area of the proposed development. The Applicant nas not satisfied this evidenciary burden. Anchorage Motor Inn Mr. James McGee January 23, 1980 Page 2 7. The addition of another motel in this particular location will increase the number of turning movements in the vicinity of the Williston Aoad - I)orset Street intersection and thus reduce even further the level of service at the intersection. 8. The proposed use will also increase traffic congestion in the area of the intersection, resulting in unsafe conditions and increased susceptibility to serious accidents. 9. The adverse traffic consequences the proposed motel would produce are further complicated by the Applicant's desire to name the proposed motel Anchorage II, thus increasing the possibility of confusion for the motoring public. 10. The Council finds the proposed use would be inconsistent with the health, safety, and welfare of the City of South Burlington. 11. The traffic data submitted by the Applicant was insufficient as determined by the City's traffic consultant. 12. The proposed 12 unit motel (Anchorage 11) would be located on a Federal marked route (U.S. 2) which offers good exposure to the traveling public. Anchorage 1, a 91 unit motel, is located on Dorset Street, a local street. Divergence of overflow traffic from Anchorage 11 to Anchorage I will further impact traffic movement at the entrance to Anchorage 11 and the Dorset Street Williston Road intersection. Enclosed is a copy of Section 13.5U of the Zoning Regulations which you requested. D if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to couLact me. Very truly, Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative Ufiicer RW/mc9 1 Encl DW 1/9/80 SUGGESTED MOTION OF DENIAL That the South Burlington City Council deny the conditional use application of Mr. Normand Ramsey of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Mr. James MaGee, agent, of Anchorage Motor Inn to construct a twelve (12) unit motel on a parcel of land containing 19,402 square feet, located at 1108 Williston Road, according to the proposal of record and based on the following findings: 1. Another motel Pntrance was previously denied close to the intersection of Dorset Street due to the traffic conditions. 2. According'to data submitted by Traffic Engineering Associates on December 17, l,a79, the engineering data submitted by the applicant contains 'discrepancies regarding the traffic situation at that location on Williston Road. 3. That at least one approach to the intersection is operating at D level of service for many hours of the day including the A.M. and P.M. peak periods, according to data submitted to the City by Traffic Engineering Associates. 4. That the motel cannot be considered a 12 unit motel because of the similarity in name to the Anchorage on Dorset Street; and even if it were a 12 unit motel, it will generate more traffic because of the possible confusion with the motel behind it, which is visible from the road and so the possibility of entrances and exits .from the lot, even when there is no vacancy in the motel. Therefore, it should be considered a joint operation of 106 units in terms of the traffic generated. _ I / 77 - Cl al-2 2-` 7 / L G7 AG, % / 4�` ✓ /77 C no, Z 719V C�4r,cGi�v���� ec Z?J L -e �C1- � �/o ve CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 21, 1980 The South Burlington City Council held a regular meeting on Monday, January 21, 1980 at 7:30 pm in the Conference Room, City Hall, 1175 Williston Road Members Present Paul Farrar, Chairman; Kenneth Jarvis, William Burgess, Martin Paulsen, Michael Flaherty (late) Others Present William Szymanski, City Manager; James Lamphere, James Goddette, James McGee, Ed Chastenay, Erwin Valgoi, Laura King, Rob Eley, Vincent D'Acuti Agenda additions Mr. Szymanski announced a meeting of the Burlington Aldermen regarding the Southern Connector and said it should be discussed later in the meeting. Mr. Farrar said he had had a request from the Census Bureau regarding the creation of neighborhoods in the city for census purposes. Mr. Jarvis asked why the on -site sewer regulations were not on the agenda. He was told Messrs. Paulsen and Szymanski were still working on them. Disbursement Orders Disbursement orders were signed. Minutes of January 7 and 15, 1980 Mr. Paulsen moved to approve the January 7. 1980 minutes and Mr. Jarvis seconded the motion. All voted aye. Mr. Paulsen then moved to approve the minutes of January 15, 1980 and Mr. Burgess seconded. The motion carried unanimously. New City Municipal Building Review architect's sketch plans and estimate of cost and consider including building cost for a bond issue in the special March elections Mr. James Lamphere showed a sketch of the new building. He has met with all department heads to develop the plan and now there are only minor revisions to make. He explained the layout to the Council. The roofs will be sloped and a new one put over the fire station, around which the rest of the building is constructed. The existing fire station will be extended to the south and to the west. The exterior will be brick and glass and the interior drywall or concrete blocks. There are about 75 parking spaces for the public, as well as a carport for other vehicles. Mr. Lamphere gave the Council a cost breakdown (see attached copy), but he noted that the equipment cost might have to be revised upward. He was then asked about the cost of renovating the present space used by the city. He said that the building was about 22,000 sq. f t. including the basement, which is not large enough for the programs it handles. Renovation would cost about $726,000, site work and upgrading of the exterior, about Y150,000, and there would be other costs also. Including furniture and fees, he felt the total cost would be about 31,417,000. go CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 21, 1980 Mr. Flaherty entered the meeting now. The cost of the new structure would thus be about the same as the cost of renovating the existing structure, and that would not include any increase in parking on the existing site. With a new building, the city would have more utilitarian space, located in a less congested traffic area, and it would be better for manabement purposes. With renovation, there would be some overlapping of facilities (two dispatch areas would be needed). Mr. Farrar asked about heating and was told that was still under study. There were no comments from the audience. The Council was in agreement that this item should be added to the March ballot. Mr. Jarvis moved to accept and sign the resolution as prepared and printed (see attached copy) and Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion. Mr. Farrar read the resolution. The motion passed 5-0. Mr. Jarvis then moved to approve and sign the warning of the special meeting Tuesday, March 4, 1980 (see attached copy) and Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion, which carried with all in favor. Mr. Farrar noted that the Council had received the 5 year cost projections of the effect on the tax rate for bonded debt of the total city (city and school), which indicated that if the bond issue were approved, in 1981-82, the bonded debt tax rate would be less than 4¢ higher than it is today, in 1982-83, it would be 2110 of 1¢ more, and in 1983-84 and 84-85, it would be lower than it is today. This is the combined debt tax rate for both city and school. Mr. Flaherty then moved to approve the ballot as put forth and Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion. After Mr. Farrar read the ballot, the motion passed 5-0. (Copy attached. Mr. Erwin Valgoi suggested having a model for people to look at. Public hearing on Interim Zoning application of Erwin Valgoi for removing 6 cottages and constructing a 12 unit two story motel at 1272 Williston Road Mr. Valgoi said that he presently had 6 cottages along White Street within 20" of the sidewalk. These are freestanding 12' x 24' with 12' between them. They are not economical to heat and he wants to remove them plus one unit attached to the house (a total of 7 units to be removed) and erect a two story building of 12 units, 6 on each floor. He also wants to have a basement under the new building for storage. This would be 4' above the ground level. He proposes to set the new building back 12' from the sidewalk and retain the existing landscaping in the front (Williston Road side) of the lot. Under this plan, cars would exit onto White Street. He proposes to maintain his two existing curb cuts on Williston Road Mr. Valgoi did not think t 5 new units, but they will exit Mr. Farrar felt the Zoning Mr. Valgoi noted that if t that is what their rate usually is July and August, and that is the city also, he said.

Mr. Valgoi said also wanted to add l' to the length as shown on the plan submitted to the He noted that someday he would want to add an "A" roof to the 9 unit which presently has a flat roof. Szymanski told Mr. Valgoi that the city was planning to widen Williston that they would have to have at least 6' on each side of the road. Mr. as aware that the road would be widened. Mr. Paulsen asked the present use of the house and was told it was 2 motel units. There will be a total of 5 new units on a base of 21 units now. Mr. Paulsen moved to send this proposal to the city's traffic consultant and to the city's Fire Chief for their comments and to continue the hearing to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Mr. Flaherty seconded the motion and all voted aye. Formal action on staff prepared motions for the following Interim Zoning applications Norman Ramsey to construct a 12 unit motel at 1108 Williston Road - Mr. Flaherty moved to approve the findings of fact as submitted to the Council by City► Attorney Richard Spokes, dated January 21, 1980 as follows: 1 1. The twelve )licant seeks conditional use a unit motel at 1108 Williston Ro )roval to construct and operate 2. The lot in question contains approximately 45 acres of land with 125' feet frontage on the northerly side of Williston Road, and is located approximate 315' feet easterly of the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection. 3. The Council's review of this proposal is governed by the standards set forth in Section 5 of the City's interim zoning regulations. 4. The above cited Section requires findings that the proposed use will not versly affect the capacity of roads and highways and will not adversly affect --fin nn rnnAR send hiehways in the vicinity. 5. At least one approach to the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection is operating at "D° level of service for many hours of the day including the morning and late afternoon peak hours. 6. Section 5C of the City's interim regulation requires the Applicant to submit sufficient traffic studies and data to adequately demonstrate that the_ proposed development will not adversly affect the present level of service on roads in the general area of the proposed development. The Applicant has not satisfied his evidenciary burden. 7. The addition of another motel in this particular location will increase thenumber of turning movements in the vicinity of the Williston $oad - DojZet Street intersection and thus reduce even further the level of service at the intersection. 8. The proposed use will also increase traffic congestion in the area of -the intersection, resulting in unsafe conditions and increased susceptibility to serious accidents. 4. CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 21, 1980 9. The adverse traffic consequences the proposed motel would produce are further complicated by the Applicant's desire to name the proposed motel Anchorage II, thus increasing the possibility of confusion for the motoring public. 10. The Council finds the proposed use would be inconsistent with the health, safety, and welfare of the City of South Burlington. 11. The traffic data submitted by the Applicant was insufficient as determined by the City's traffic consultant. 12. The proposed 12 unit motel (AnchorageII) would be located on a Federal marked route (U.S. 2) which offers good exposure to the traveling public. Anchorage I, a 91 unit motel, is located on Dorset Street, a local street. Divergence of overflow traffic from Anchorage II to Anchorage I will further impact traffic movement at the entrance to Anchorage II and the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection. DECISION Thus, the application of Normand Ramsey is disapproved. Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion and all were in favor. CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 7. 1980 The South Burlington City Council held a meeting on Monday, January 7, 1980 at 7:30 pm in the Conference Room, City Hall, 1175 Williston Road :Members Present Paul Farrar, Chairman; Martin Paulsen, William Burgess, Kenneth Jarvis Member Absent Michael Flaherty Others Present William Szymanski, City N.anager; James Goddette, Fire Chief; Rob Eley, Free Press; William Schuele, Chairman of Natural Resources Committee; James McGee There were no additions to the agenda, but i,Ir. Farrar announced that there would be a meeting of the CCTA on January 23 at 7:30 pm at the Burlington City Hall Auditorium to go over compliance with the federal regulations for the elderly and handicapped. The members were urged to attend. Minutes of December 17, 20 and 26, 1979 Xr. Paulsen moved to ay;)rove the minutes of December 17, 20, and 26, 1979 as printed. Mr. Jarvis seconded the motion and it passed A-0. I`;r. Paulsen had a question on the December 17 minutes. In those minutes a reference is made to 5 private streets the city plows. Mr. Ireland was requested by i�Ir. Burgess to give the names of those 5 streets to him (Mr. Burgess), because EX. Burgess did not believe the city plowed 5 such streets. The names have not yet been given to him, even though Fir. Ireland said he would do so. Review additional data and formulate action and stipulations on the following_ Interim Zoning applications Norman Ramsey to construct an 18 unit motel at 1108 Williston Road - It was noted that the request had been reduced to 12 units. fir. Farrar had reservations about the use because of possible interference with the stacking lane in front of the lot and because this would be owned and operated by the owner of the Anchorage and the two motels would have very similar names. He felt this use had the potential to create more traffic than any other use of this size because of this fact. Looking at the intent of Interim Zoning, Zr. Paulsen said he would feel very uncomfortable ap,,roving this use because of its traffic impact. He felt that left turns into the lot would be blocked a lot of the time during rush hour and that if, cars turned left into this looking, for the Econolodge, they would have to make two more left turns during heavy traffic periods in order to get to the right motel. He also noted that this lot was very close to the Dorset Street intersection. Mr. Jarvis shared the concerns voiced regarding traffic impact but he felt it might be discriminatory to deny the apDlication because the owner had another motel in th'$»area. He felt that motels had particular favored referrals even outside of their own chains. It was noted that, because of the similarity of names between the two motels, guests could be confused as to which motel to enter and that could create more traffic at this location than a 12 unit motel might normally create. There are obvious possibilities for confusion between this motel and Loth the Econolodge and the parent Anchorage. 2. CITY COUNCIL JANUAFY 7, 1980 Y1r. Burgess moved to ask the staff to prepare a motion of denial of the application of Norman Ramsey for an 18 unit motel at 1108 Williston Road based on the following considerations: 1 a n motel entrace was previousl denied close to this intersection, 2 that at least one approach to the intersection is operatin€ at D level of service for many hours of the da including the am and m peak periods according to the City's traffic consultant, 3 that the consultant hired by the City_ has found discrepancies in the engineering data submitted by the applicant regarding the traffic situation at that location on Williston Road and 4 that the motel cannot be considered a 12 unit motel because of the similarity in name to the Anchorage, and even if it were a 12 unit motel, it will generate mere traffic because of the possible confusion with the motel behind it, which is visible from the road and so the possibility of entrances and exits from the lot, even when there is no vacancy in the motel, . Therefore, it should be considered a joint operation. of 100 units in termsof the traffic Fenerated. �.r. raulsen seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Joseph G.

CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 7. 1980 Second reading of on site sewage disposal re,lations Kr. Paulsen moved to waive the second reading of the ordinance and Mr. Jarvis seconded the motion, which passed 4-0• Mr. Paulsen had several comments on the ordinance. Where specific equipment was mentioned, he wanted to be sure someone at City Hall had knowledge of what it was and how it worked, and where specific documents were mentioned, he wanted to be sure City Hall had a copy. In several other places in the ordinance he had specific questions and it was decided that he and Mr. Szymanski would meet to discuss specifics. The Council briefly discussed how stringent it wanted these regulations to be. Mr. Paulsen moved to continue discussion on this item at the next meeting. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and all voted aye. Messrs. Paulsen and Szymanski will work out language changes to the document, and will include the comment from the City Attorney. Consider reappointments to the Economic Stabilization Board of the Vermont Emergency Resource Eanairement Plan xr. Szymanski said the State wanted to update the Plan and that the Board involved is ;#6. Elembers originally were appointed in 1968. He listed the communitii covered by the Board. Mr. Burgess moved to reappoint the members of the Economic_ Stabilization Board #6 of the Vermont Emergency Resource I,Tanagement Plan provided the individuals accept the responsibility. Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion and all voted aye. Review Planning and Zoning Board agendas Xr. Jarvis had a comment to make regarding Planning Commission minutes. He noted that concern had been expressed by the Commission that the Council had not done a good job regarding the property at the corner of White Street and Williston Road. The city put the issue of purchasing that property before the voters and it was turned down, he said. The Council cannot do much more. Mr. Farrar added that if -the city did buy the land, it might lose Urban Systems money it was counting on for widening Williston Road. He also mentioned that the city had since tried to, work out land swaps with potential buyers of the land without success. Mr. Schuele said that the Natural Resources Committee was aware of a developmen in which everything in the 50' zone by the stream was cut down. That developer is coming to the Committee to discuss ways to correct the error. Mr. Farrar told Mr. Schuele that the Committee should make an agreement with the developer and bring it to Council as a recommendation.

LEVERING, JR. 34 PATCHEN ROAD SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT05401 August 20, 1979 802 - 658-2255 South Burlington City Council 1175 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Sirs: Mrs. Lamplough, owner of the property at 1076 Williston Road and adjacent land owner to Mr. Ramsay, asked me to make an appearance on her behalf. Mrs. Lamplough expressed her considerable concern about the esthetic nature of the proposed motel on the Ramsay property. For the past few years when older buildings have come down, and her property is no exception, new projects have emerged that followed a pattern of deep setbacks, uses of lawns and trees and fine landscaping. The Holiday Inn who bought a segment of her property did a good job. Then the Ramada Inn made a very attractive entry way and landscaping plan. 100 Dorset used setbacks very well and so did the new University Mall. One of the items that was most vital to Mrs. Lamplough when she gave us a lease for our motel and restaurant project was that we maintain a deep setback, keep as many trees as possible and landscape considerably. This we felt we had done in keeping with Mrs. Lamplough's request and as a result made a fine esthetic contribution to the community. The plan of the motel presented to Mrs. Lamplough by Mr. Ramsay is not in keeping with the general existing pattern in use in the area. It is solid asphalt parking, bricks and mortar. If 100 Dorset, University Mall, Holiday Inn, Ramada Inn and, of course, the Econo Lodge and Windjammer can all do attractive projects that are consistent with the existing pattern of use in the area, then I think Mr. Ramsay should rework his plan and show a proper regard for proper use of setbacks, green spaces and landscaping. Unless these considerations are a part of the plan, then as an abutting landowner, Mrs. Lamplough is opposed to this project. Sincerely yours, Walter B. Levering, Jr for Mrs. Evelyn Lamplo�gh August 20, 1979 South Burlington City Council 1175 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 As front desk manager of the Econo Lodge I am concerned about the access difficulties a motel between the Econo Lodge sign and our entrance would cause. At present the majority of our complaints (roughly 40%) both at the desk and on written comment sheets state that our customers have extreme difficulty in finding the Econo Lodge entrance. I feel that a motel just beyond our sign will cause con- fusion to Econo Lodge customers because logically they will turn into the first motel entrance they see beyond our sign requiring them to cross 3 lanes of traffic. Once they discover that their reservations are not at that location they have to again make a left hand turn onto Williston Road to exit and a third left hand turn into our entrance. Judging from customer comments and our number of rooms, I would estimate that as many as 30 to 50 cars a day could be involved. Besides customer inconvenience the traffic problem of 3 left hand turns is apparent. Therefore we are opposed to a motel on this property unless an entrance can be made available to the Econo Lodge adjacent to the Ramsey property. Sincerely yours, Kathy O'Malley �\ Desk Manager South Burlington Econo Lodge 4, 1979 South Burlington City Council 1175 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 I076 Williston Road So. Burlington, Vermont 0540I OL 802-862-6585 am opposed to the 18 unit motel project proposed by . Ramsey for the following reasons: Parking facilities Snow removal problems Our present parking capacity for the restaurant is 100 cars. This capacity is adequate for the volume of business that the restaurant is doing. Our concern is that Mr. Ramsey's motel customers will begin using the Windjammer's parking facilities, because his facilities are extremely limited especially for large trucks, buses, and tractor trailer trucks. This will create a heavy burden on the restaurant in that it will incur additional costs to police the parking area. During the winter months the parking situation will be aggravated by snow removal problems. Our concern here is that since the motel will have limited space adjacent to the parking lot it will, out of necessity, utilize restaurant property to dispose of its snow. This is space currently used to dispose of snow removed from the restaurant parking lot. In summary we are opposed to this project not provide sufficient parking facilities space without burdening adjacent property, consistent with existing patterns and uses in the area.

It is located on a 1.0 ± acre site fronting on the northern edge of Williston Road, with an existing access drive located 347' east of the Dorset Street intersection (see Fig. 2). Because the development has direct access on South Burlington's major traffic artery, Williston Road, the City Planning firm of Landplan, Inc. was retained to analyze the traffic impact and evaluate ingress -egress characteristics of the project. Summary of Documentation To Date Landplan, Inc. has prepared two previous statements of the impact of the eighteen unit Anchorage II motel proposal on traffic flows along Williston Road at Dorset Street. "Impact on Intersection Capacity" statement established the amount of additional traffic generated by the project, and provided a directional flow analysis of this traffic through the intersection (see Appendix A). The conclusions of this report were that the traffic to and from the eighteen room motel did not create capacity problems at the intersection. On August 6, Landplan, Inc. submitted a Vehicle Time gap analysis for Williston Road at the present entrance to the property. Time gaps were measured for morning and evening peak hours, Monday through Friday, July 30 - August 3, 1979 (see Appendix B). For this study, a time gap of six seconds was the assumed norm, i.e. that six seconds would elapse between the time that a driver exiting east onto Williston Road from the project could perceive an opening in the traffic, cross all west- bound travel lanes and merge with eastbound traffic. Vehicles exiting the project and westbound and those entering the project would require a shorter time gap. Scope of this Analysis At the request of the South Burlington City Council, the time gap analysis is hereby being supplemented by a probability analysis that will establish the likelihood that ingress and egress movements generated by the project will impede traffic flows along Williston Road, both for merging and crossing movements. This analysis is intended to alleviate any doubts regarding the conclusions of the 'Time Gap Analysis" caused by the manual counting techniques used and the summer vacation time survey period. Recommendations for improving the flow of existing traffic through the inter- section are considered beyond the scope of this report. They would require an extensive analysis of traffic patterns in the surrounding areas. - 1. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS As would be expected from the small number of vehicles being interjected into the existing volume of traffic along Williston Road, their impact on the move- ment of vehicles along Williston Road is found to be insignificant. The mathematical formulas have been applied to all access and egress move- ments. A movement by movement surinary follows: Access The vehicles entering the project from the flow are the only ones considered to potentially impede the flow. (Vehicles exiting the project must wait their chance. The frequency with which exiting vehicles will have adequate time to safely enter the flow has been analyzed in order to determine their compatibility with the existing flow). Access occurs during the afternoon rush hour, during which the majority (8) of the vehicles are making a crossing movement, the remainder (3) are executing a simple right turn. It is demonstrated that although some vehicles making the crossing movement will be delayed, the likelihood that these delayed vehicles will cause stacking of through traffic is insignificant. (0-8%). Almost without exception, right turn vehicles will be able to leave the flow without causing delay due to the existing time gap between vehicles. Egress Egress occurs during the morning rush hour when there are two movements involved, a merging righthand turn for 8 vehicles and a lefthand crossing and merging move- ment for 3 vehicles. Of these, the first is demonstrated to cause a delay for only half of those trying to exit, and the average waiting time for these vehicles is less than S seconds. The crossing movement is more difficult and will cause nearly all vehicles making the movement to wait on the average 18 seconds. This is an acceptable waiting time. Conclusions Turning movements into or out of the stream of flow are considered to be a problem when they cause stacking of vehicles in the flow of thru traffic, or ,when movements are made in such a manner as to be a safety hazard. In view of these criteria, the mathematical analyses contained herein clearly demonstrate that traffic flow generated by the proposed project is compatible with the pattern and volume of traffic flows adjacent to the site. 2. I STUDY METHODOLOGY Approach The methodology used to assess the project's impact on through traffic is illustrated in the Study Flow Chart (Figure 2). The approach involved the use of time tested probability formulas frequently used in traffic engineering. These formulas, it must be emphasized, define likely situations given pertinent data inputs specifically relating to the project. As such they define average situations. They have been extensively field tested and adjusted to ensure a minimum variation from the mean. We recommend the formula approach over reliance on field surveys because the specific surveys may not be truly representative of the average composition and pattern of flow. However, the small number of vehicles involved does not warrant such a rigorous analysis, as is verified by the results of the analysis. Objectives Recognizing that efficient traffic operations are in the best interests of both the City of South Burlington and the developer, the intent of this analysis is to provide a realistic appraisal of the impact of the Anchorage II Motel on traffic flow along Williston Road. It is intended as a judgement tool allowing the interface of the South Burlington City Council and the project design team. Data Sources Trip generation standards used were developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (I.T.E.) by means of data collection via actual surveys and counts. Trip generation standards were developed for a wide variety of uses (e.g. motels) and further elaborated by size of facility and types of services offered. Traffic flow data were derived from the City of South Burlington, Traffic Study. These were morning and evening peak hour (8:30 A.M.-9:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M.- 5:30 P.M.) directional counts taken at the Dorset Street -Williston Road intersection on January 17, 1979. Although one day counts are not usually considered indicative of average peak hour volumes, they have been accepted as such for the purpose of this study. Review of actual conditions on the site have been conducted at various times by the consultant since the inception of the impact analysis. Probability analyses for vehicle time gaps were based on STATISTICS WITH APPLICATIONS TO HIGHivAY TRAFFIC ANALYSES published by the Eno Foundation for Transportation. 3.

ASSUMPTIONS 1. Trip Generation and Distribution Based on the development program of a twelve room motel without restaurant facilities, and an I.T.E. trip generation standard of 0.9 vehicles per room per morning and evening peak hours, total peak hour trip generation is estimated at eleven vehicles. Origin destination analysis is based on the assumption that Burlington and I-89 are the primary traffic generators, and industrial and commercial uses and the airport to the east will be secondary in importance. We have weighted these factors on a 75%/25% ratio, and have confirmed our assumption with the Town Planner for the City of South Burlington. The resulting distribution of additional traffic on Williston Road is given in Table 1 below. Table 1. Distribution of additional traffic on Williston Road NO. OF CARS LEAVING PROJECT NO.

Peak Motel Arrival/Departure Periods Through consultation with Anchorage Motel Management the following assumptions have been made regarding the pattern of motel arrivals and departures for Anchorage II. - Weekday (commercial) arrivals usually peak during the late afternoon hours (4 P.M.-6 P.M.), Monday through Thursday. Morning departures generally occur between 8 A.M. and 9 P.M. Saturdays and Sundays are not periods of peak traffic volumes on Williston Road. Friday evening (tourist) arrivals generally peak in the evening (7 P.M.-9 P.M.). Interest has been expressed for using Friday as the indicative peak day for analysis. However, based on the above and the fact that the City of South Burlington Traffic Counts for peak period analysis were taken on a ll.ednesday, we have assumed a mid -week peak period. 3. Vehicular Gaps The time intervals between vehicles necessary to safely perform merging or cross traffic movements have been based on accepted traffic planning standards for sit- uations similar to those encountered here. For a simple merging movement, a 4.8 second gap is required, for a crossing movement a 5.2 second gap is required, and for a crossing and merging movement, a 6 second gap will be required. SITE OBSERVATIONS OF TRAFFIC FLOW Traffic flow through the Dorset Street, Williston Road intersection has been observed at various times over the past four months. Traffic stopped by the signal control was noted to back up as far as the project site on a number of occasions, most frequently in the westbound straight through lanes, but also in the left turn stacking lane. The straight through lane stacking up may cause delays in cars exiting the project, but, these delays will not impede c the flow of traffic on Williston Road. Vehicles seeking to enter the project from the eastbound lane will not encounter blocked passage in the straight through lane because cars in this lane will be moving on a green light. The likelihood that east- bound cars entering the project will be blocked by cars in the westbound left turn stacki stacking lane is accounted for in the probability formulas used in this analysis which includes the cars in the stacking lane in the formulas' base volume inputs. Specific attention has been given to possibility of a blockage in the stacking lane and its effect on uninterrupted flows in the eastbound lanes, with the following findings. a) one green cycle for the stacking lane occurs for each eastbound thru traffic green cycle. For the cycle times observed 1, this means that there is a red light for the stacking lane 85% of the time, or 85 seconds per cycle. b) left turn movements for the evening peak hour recorded in the January 17, 1979 traffic study give a traffic flow of 129 vehicles per hour or 1 vehicle every 30 seconds on the average. c) At this rate an average of 3 cars per cycle would wait in the stacking lane. This is considerably less than the 13 vehicles capacity of the stacking lane up to the project entrance. d) based on the 15 second green cycle, an average of 5 cars/cycle could arrive in the stacking lane without causing cars to accumulate over more than one cycle. Based on the given peak hour volumes and the 30 second average gap in arrivals, the frequency at which this would happen is very- low. e) Nevertheless, the fact that it may happen will not significantly impede the flow of eastbound traffic. An accumulation of enough cars to block eastbound traffic from entering the project would occur at or near the end of the stacking lane red cycle, or conversely at the end of the eastbound green cycle. Consequently, a stacking lane blockage of an eastbound car's access to the project would be removed when the stacking lane began to move. Meanwhile, the eastbound flow has been stopped by the red cycle so that a limited number of eastbound cars would pass through the intersection after the car to be delayed from gaining entrance to the project. The Analysis Section of this report further documents the probability that there will be no delays in eastbound traffic by establishing vehicle headways that show the probability that one vehicle will be slowed down is very small and therefore, that the probability that stacking will occur is negligible. 1 See Appendix A, p. 2 3" 4:30 - 5:30 p m �J I o �5JrLiao 570 Kira, S 7:30 - 8:30 am I tv ote hu►rper� �c �r to e���ctc� r c u rI rxa tJ� �l �8 QI1 131 b. tr'e I^; i c !

ANALYSIS Turning Movements - Access and Egress From The Project In Fig. 2 diagrams A and B show the four situations that can occur at their respective critical times. Situation I is a left turn from the lefthand eastbound traffic lane on Williston Road into the project site. It is expected that eight vehicles will make this turn during the critical evening rush hour. Situation I is considered the "worst" situation because it involves a combination of the most lanes of traffic (3) and the largest number of cars in the traffic stream making the turn (8) . Situation II is a right turn from the righthand lane of westbound traffic on Williston Road into the project site. It is expected that three vehicles will make this turn during the critical evening rush hour. Situation II can cause delays in the traffic flow because the turning vehicles are in the stream of traffic, but it is much less likely to do so than Situation I for several reasons: fewer cars are likely to be making this turn; only one lane of traffic is involved and the maneuver requires less time to accomplish. Situation III is a lefthand turn from the project site into the left lane of eastbound traffic, crossing both westbound lanes. It is expected that 3 vehicles will make this turn during the morning rush hour. Situation IV is a righthand turn from the project site into the right lane of westbound traffic. It is expected that 8 vehicles will make this turn during the morning rush hour. Situations III and IV will not cause delays to any vehicle in the traffic stream because the maneuvering vehicles are not in the stream themselves, they must wait for a suitable gap in traffic to enter it. An analysis of these situations is included in order to demonstrate whether the movement of cars from the project site onto Williston Road is compatible with the traffic flow present. A mathematical analysis of each situation follows: S TTIIAT TON T N = vehicles making left turn into project site = 8. N, = vehicle flow in vehicles per second westbound lanes = 684 = 3600.

ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT ON THRU TRAFFIC FLOI'� Situatinn T While it can be seen from (1)* that most of the time (74%) there is a suf- ficient gap in oncoming traffic for a vehicle to cross to the project site, (2) shows that the "bunching" effect of vehicle flow will probably cause more than half (63%) of these vehicles to be delays. However, (3) shows that the expected total number of vehicles delayed (5) is very small relative to the traffic stream; and (4) shows that the average waiting time for these vehicles is short. That there will be a minimal impact on the flow of eastbound traffic on Williston Road is shown by (5), where it can be seen that almost all of the time (9,7%), a larger time gap will exist between the turning car and the next car behind than the time required for the turning car to wait for a gap in oncoming traffic (5.8 seconds). Situation II (1) and (2) show that while approximately one-third (370-.) of the vehicles that are turning right will impede the traffic behind them, this will happen only very rarely (8% of the time). (3) shows that only 1 vehicle can be expected to cause delay during the rush hour (worst condition), (4) shows that the time of delay expected is very short (3.5 seconds). Because this time is short, it is found from (5) that only very rarely (4.5% of the time) will more than one vehicle at a time be waiting behind a turning vehicle. It follows that stacking up of 2 or more cars behind a turning vehicle will be an extremely rare occurrance. Situation III This situation involves the largest wait for vehicles exiting from the -project site, but will cause insignificant delays in the traffic stream in either direction. While this situation is the worst for project generated vehicles, it is still found to be compatible with the existing traffic flow for the following reasons: 1. Very few vehicles are involved (3). 2. The length of time (18 seconds) that the vehicles involved are expected to be required to wait is well within acceptable limits (the traffic signal red cycle for eastbound and westbound lanes is 50 seconds) (4). *Numbers in parentheses refer to numbered formulas in preceding section. 13. Situation III (cont.) 3. The red signal mentioned above will decrease the average number of vehicles impeding the turning vehicle, thus, reducing both the pro- portion of time when there will be a delay, and the average waiting time of delay. This consideration is not included in the mathematical analysis. Situation IV As in situation III, this situation will have insignificant affect on the traffic flow on Williston Road. It is found to be compatible with the traffic flow present for the following reasons: 1. There will usually be a gap in traffic large enough to enter it (54.5% of the time) (1) 2. The four vehicles expected to be required to wait is a very small number relative to the volume of traffic (2 and 3). 3. The average amount of time (4.2 seconds) that affected vehicles are expected to be required to wait is minimal (4). 14. APPENDIX "A" P. O. BOX 82 WARREN, VT. 05674 TEL.

Scope of the Study This study has been prepared for Milot Real Estate and the City of South Burlington in order to determine the impact of traffic generated by the proposed 18 room Anchorage II motel on the major road intersections immediately east and west of the complex. The study relies on existing traffic flow data supplied by the City of South Burlington Planning Commission and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, and is not intended to contain recommendations for alleviating any existing problems. B. Analysis of Present Traffic Conditions 1. Description of Intersections. Both Hinesburg Road, Williston Road and Dorset Street, Williston Road are four corner intersections controlled by fixed cycle traffic signals. The West and East approaches to Dorset Street on Williston Road have three and four lanes - respectively with separate turn signals. The left turn stacking lane for traffic approaching from the east is 320 ± feet long and has a capacity of 13 f cars. The North and South bound approaches to Williston Road at Dorset Street will not be significantly influenced by this project and are not analyzed in detail. The Williston Road East and West bound approaches to Hinesburg Road are two lane and controlled by fixed cycle three phase traffic signals. Turn signals are not used, but the right turn on red low is in effect. The intersection design appears adequate with the exception of the numerous adjacent curb cuts. The various physical factors influencing the flow of traffic through the intersections are presented in Table I. Page -2- TABLE I INTERSECTION DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS INTERSECTION TRAVEL R.T. L.T.

For Williston Road -Dorset Street these were one hour morning, noon and evening peak hour counts conducted on January 17, 1979 and have been assumed to be indicative of design hour volumes. Similar counts were conducted at Hinesburg Road -Williston Road on January 11, 1979. These are presented in Table III. C. Projected Traffic Increases from the Anchorage II Development. The proposed project is an 18 room motel without restaurant facilities. It is located on the north side of Williston Road, approximately•350 feet east of the Dorset Street intersection. (The distance from the centerline of the existing driveway to the stop line of the westbound approach to the intersection is 347 feet). Traffic generated by the project has been estimated on the basis of I.T.E. (Institute of Transportation Engineers) trip generation standards of 0.9 vehicle trips per room per morning and evening peak hour. Although vehicle trips generated by motels tend to peak equally as much on Saturdays as on weekdays, weekdays only will be considered in this study because of the weekday peak hours of adjoining streets. Origin destination analysis is based on the assumption that Burlington and I-89 will be the primary traffic generators, and industrial uses and airport to the east will be secondary in importance. Accordingly, the traffic impact on Hinesburg Road and Dorset Street will be minimal and is not considered here. It is assumed that all evening trips will be arrivals, and morning trips will be departures. Table II Distribution of additional traffic on Williston Road. NO. OF CARS LEAVING PROJECT NO.

Impact on Intersection Capacity The following Table III summarizes the existing level of capacity of the Williston Road approaches to the Dorset Street and Hinesburg Road intersections, and indicates the impact of additional traffic on their capacity. The westbound approach to Dorset Street is already saturated. Although the proposed motel will add to the problem, the total increase is negligible (1% of existing volume). The level of service for the remaining approaches are within the "stable flow" category and present no capacity problems. 4 TABLE III INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS INTERSECTION APPROACH 1979 PHV* ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TOTAL 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:30 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:30 8:30-9:30 4:30-5:30 AM PM AM PM AM PM Williston Rd. & Dorset St. Westbound # Vehicles 926 555 12 -- 938 V/C ratio 1.01 0.60 1.02 no change Level of service F B F Eastbound # Vehicles 557 570 -- 12 no change 582 V/C Ratio 0.46 0.61 0.62 Level of Service B B B Williston Road & Hinesburg Rd.

VEHICLE TIMF GAP ANALYSIS Addendum to Traffic Impact Study dated July 16, 1979 Definition A vehicle time gap is the space in time (seconds) be- tween cars. For this study, a time gap of 6 seconds was the assumed norm i.e. that six seconds would elapse between the time that a driver exiting west onto Williston Road from the project could perceive an opening in the traffic, cross all westbound travel lanes and obtain an eastbound travel speed of 30 mph. Vehicles exiting the project and westbound and thoses entering the project would requirea shorter time gap. Methodology of the Study Time gaps were measured at the point of the existing driveway for the morning and evening peak hours, Monday thru Friday, July 30-August 3, 1979. They were measured for both directions during the morning peak hours, and for westbound lanes only in the evening. They were obtained by manual count and are presented in the accompanying table together with the number of instances in which the west- bound traffic, in either the thru or left turn lanes, be- came back up to the point that the driveway was blocked. Conclusions The findings are very consistent by sample period for each day. The number of 6 second timegaps for morning and evening average 220 and 180 respectively.

PROJECT: NORMAN RAMSEY (12 UNIT MOTEL) I have reviewed the Traffic Operations Analysis dated 15 November 1979 for the proposed Anchorage II Motel on Williston Road. I have general concerns regarding this report which I will state as follows: 1. The traffic volumes for Williston Road (between 4:30-5:30 p.m.) indicated on Fig 2, Page 7 of the report are significantly lower than traffic volumes we counted with mechanical counters during the month of November 1978 in front of the Ramada Inn. We counted approximately 1069•VPH-Eastbound and 1004-VPH- Westbound. 2. The mathematical formulas used in the analysis section of the report assume that traffic flow and time gaps on Williston Road are exponentially distributed. Because of the restrictions to traffic flow on Wi-lliston Road, we know these characteristics are not exponentially distributed. 3. The time gap information used in the probability formulas assumed that all directional traffic on Williston Road travelled in a single lane; however, that is not the case making the time gap analysis much more complex than was presented in the report. t ' 152 BANK STREET EC 17 TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ASS0CIAT S �fi5'I-4t.-ik'.tt`«7 i1rAr iC-i6;: -- Division of Traffcon Systems, Inc.

The intersection capacity analysis for the Dorset Street - Williston Road intersection presented in Appendix"A" of the report does not analyze the v/c ratio and level of service for various movements for any one approach. Our analysis indicates that the left turn movement from Williston Road onto Dorset Street is operating at D level of service for many hours of the day including both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. By reference, we make our memo to the South Burlington City Council regarding this project dated 17 September 1979 a part of this memo.

As the minutes of the various meetings relative to Mr. Ramsey's Interim Zoning application to construct a motel at 1108 Williston Road do not completely and accurtely set forth all that transpired at the various meetings, nor do they completely set forth Mr. Ramsey's position in this matter, I am submitting the following comments. While Mr. Ramsey has applied for a conditional use approval pur- suant to Interim Zoning, he has not waived his rights to challange the validity of the Interim Zoning Ordinance itself. It is our belief that said Interim Zoning Ordinance, as written and adopted, is an impermissible delegation of power and illegal for the follow- ing reasons: (a) Section 5 Conditional Uses of the ordinances impermissibly allows for the City Council to authorize "any type of land devel- opment" (emphasis added). This is violative of the requirements that a municipality have a comprehensive plan. (b) In addition, the ordinance is so vague as to be fatally de- fective. There is an absence of objective standards or criteria sufficient to allow Court review of the City Council's decisions. (c) For example, Section 5.5(c) of the ordinance places upon a conditional use applicant the vague burden of demonstrating that his proposed use will "not adversely affect" (emphasis added) the present level of road service in the area. The ordinance makes no attempt to define "adverse affect". Because all traffic has some affect, this phrase is so vague as to be subject to discrim- inatory enforcement, and is, therefore, violative of due process rights afforded all applicants under the United States Constitution. It is also Mr. Ramsey's belief and position that the Interim Zoning Ordinance as enforced by the City Council, is illegal for var- ious reasons, among which are the following: South Burlington City Council JAN 18 1980 January 16, 1980 MANAG„_.--- Page Two. C!,T', I (a) The ordinances preamble states in general terms that the ordinance is designed to stop development so as to allow time for studies to be done to adjust the traffic problems in the area. In practice, however, the City Council has ignored the reasons behind adoption of the ordinance and have approved nearly all the conditional use applications presented to it. In the first year alone, of 22 applications, 16 were approved. (b) The City Council has also allowed the ordinance to be used as a subterfuge for spot zoning. As the ordinance allows for °'any type of land development" the Council has utilized this to approve conditional use applications for commerical development in what was a residential district prior to adoption of this ordinance. As such, the Council's actions in these various applications constitutes illegal spot zoning and is inconsistent with the requirement of a comprehensive plan. (c) In other areas the City Council has arbitrarily and unreason- ably enforced vague sections of the ordinance inconsistently. The Council has done this by requiring some applicants to only state their belief as to what type of impact their proposal will have on traffic while other applicants are required to hire experts at great expense in order to have their application acted upon. There is no general standard applicable to all applicants. The City Council has also relied upon its own traffic expert in some cases without affording the applicants an opportunity to directly confront such expert. Such a policy is violative of an applicant's due process and equal protection rights. (d) The City Council has also failed to have its members abstain from voting in those applications where there has been a clear conflict of interests. Again, such a policy is an unreasonable and violative of the public trust. (e) The City Council has also arbitrarily and unreasonably failed to follow a uniform procedure in processing condition use appli- cations. Some applications are required by the Council to re - notify abutters upon every change in the application. Other applicants are not so required. Some applications are even allowed to be re -voted upon after a prior denial without any renotification or warning to the public. Without being totally exhaustive, I believe the above sets forth Mr. Ramsey's general objections to the ordinance itself and to the procedures utilized by the City Council in enforcing the same.

Both projects have been reviewed and problems were found which needed correction if we are to give fire rro ection. BOtii parties were told to make changes and to come back se we could review the plans again. As of today there has been no plans returned to the fire department for review with changes made. lit this time I would have to say that on the plans review there is no way the fire department could give proper fire protection.

PRINCIPAL ENGINEER ASSOCIATES DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1979 SUBJECT: TRAFFIC REVIEW OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS PROJECT #7933 1. PROJECT: Norman Ramsey (18 Unit Motel) TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 I talked with Mr. Don Swain, traffic consultant for Mr. Ramsey about supporting data to supplement the information presented in his traffic report. He indicated to me that what data he had collected was included in the report. I also discussed the survey procedures used by Mr. Swain in collecting time gap information on Williston Road. Apparently non -technical personnel were used to tabulate the time gap data as it was being monitored by visual observation and measured by a stop watch. Based on my investigation, I still conclude that the traffic study prepared for Mr. Ramsey is incomplete and not sufficient to satisfactorily determine the actual traffic impact that could result from this proposed development. In addition, I find that converting an existing residential property to a commercial development will increase the number of left turns on Williston Road, therefore causing additional adverse traffic impact on the road in that area. TRAFFIC 152 BANK STREET ENGINEERING BURLINGTON, VERMONT 05401 ASSOCIATES TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 2. PROJECT: Proposed Indoor Recreational Facility off Kennedv Drive I have reviewed the proposed development for an indoor recreational facility off Kennedy Drive and find the project to be very positive in relationship to traffic flow. The closing of the curb cut on Dorset Street is a definite asset to the Dorset Street-Kennedv Drive intersection. In addition the proposed access to the development on Kennedy Drive provides good sight distance for exiting traffic and is located a sufficient distance away from the Dorset Street Kennedy Drive intersection to minimize any potential traffic congestion. In regard to the estimated traffic volume that could be generated by the proposed recreational facility, my infor- mation indicates that the number of trips to and from the facility during the hours of operations will be dis- tributed such that they will have a minimal impact on over- all traffic flow within the area or on the level of operation of the Dorset Street -Kennedy Drive intersection. 3. PROJECT: Merchants Bank - White Street I have reviewed the site plan of the Merchants Bank branch on White Street and find that the addition of an "Automatic Teller Machine" should not significantly affect traffic conditions in that area. In fact, an ATM most likely will reduce peak drive-in window activity generated by roadway peak hour commuter traffic. The installation of ATM's has somewhat reduced the adverse traffic impact caused by drive- in window service of branch banks because of the 24-hour availability to do most general banking business. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES 152 BANK STREET — ��� eev�� BURLINGTON, VERMONT 05401 4. PROJECT: Merchants Bank - Shelburne Road TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 My comments on this project are similar to my comments on the White Street Merchants Bank project. I don't feel the installation of the ATM service will add a significant amount of traffic to the existing operation, particularly with similar service already being provided by two other local banks. The Shelburne Road Merchants Bank has plenty of available user parking and most traffic going to the facility will probably travel through the K-Mart main entrance which is well controlled by a traffic signal. 5. PROJECT: Proposed Shelburne Road Vermont National Bank Branch I have reviewed the site plan for the proposed Vermont National Bank branch on Shelburne Road. I have a concern regarding the ability of exiting left turn traffic to be able to enter the northbound traffic flow on Shelburne Road because of the close- ness of the access point to the signalized intersection. During p.m. peak traffic flow periods, backup occurs at that intersection on the south approach which would cause problems for left turn exiting traffic from the proposed bank. Two possible solutions are apparent to me for this potential problem; (1) to provide two access points onto Shelburne Road with one enter only (located as shown on site plan) and one exit only (located near south property line), (2) to provide a corridor such that exiting traffic could utilize the signalized intersection at South Burlington Chrysler -Plymouth. The creation of two access points onto Shelburne Road is un- desirable unless the southerly access point can be combined as access for the abutting property. Consolidation of curb cuts along Shelburne Road and creation of internal traffic flow between commercial developments must take high priority in order to avoid traffic congestion similar to Williston Road.

PROJECT: Proposed Merrill Theater Expansion TELEPHONE 802-864-7463 I have reviewed the sketch plan for the proposed Merrill Theater expansion off Williston Road. The internal traffic circulation indicated on the plan is satisfactory with channelization created by parking islands and curbing. Although multiple access points to and from theater parking are indicated on the plan, I have reservations about this feature providing any positive impact on Williston Road traffic flow. I do recommend that the main entrance point to the Merrill Theater complex be moved easterly in order to provide a more direct access to internal traffic flow lanes. Again, any development that requires additional turning } movements on Williston Road will have an adverse impact on overall traffic flow for the area. BUSINESS VENTURES ASSOCIATES Area is zoned Business Retail District. Both proposed uses are allowable in BR District. A similar variance was granted twice, both expired, no permit has ever been issued for construction. Section 11.00, Dimensional Requirements, provides for a set back of 75 feet.

The Department of Labor and Industry reports that an electrical permit will be required for the project. Much of the advisor's comments center around entrance roads and general highway matters. The Highway Department has indicated that traffic congestion in the general area of the proposed development is already severe and that the Department is unable to determine the impact of the proposed development with regard to further traffic congestion. It would appear that issues raised by the Environmental Advisor with regard to access roads should be discussed jointly by the District Environmental Commission, the City of South Burlington and the advisor. The comments of James Sairs indicate several areas which should be addressed by the District Environmental Commission in their review. He suggests that details with regard to lighting levels and pole heights should be defined by the District Environmental Commission. He further suggests that complete signing details should be presented by the applicant and reviewed by the District Environmental Commission, since it appears that other signs may be planned besides from those shown in the submission. Sairs further indicates two areas of inadequacy with regard to landscaping plans The advisor suggests that energy conservation measures should be reviewed by the District Environmental Commission. The Agency would suggest that the developer review Energy Conservation Guidelines which were prepared by the Environmental Board and the Public Service Board and incorporate as many of the suggestions contained therein as possible.

Sease Land Use Administrator Agency of Environmental Conservation Montpelier, Vermont 05602 RE: P'.pplication # 4C0178 Business Ventures Associates 82 Room Motor Inn - S. Burlington Site Description: This project is located on the easterly side of Dorset Street in the city of South Burlington: It is to be situated opposite Zayre''s and adjacent to and south of Carrol's Plaza I and II. The land is relatively flat with the soil type consisting of Duane and Deerfield - loamy fine sand with a seasonal high water table. The site is entirely wooded and well stocked in pole size trees. The pri..cipal species are red maple, gray birch and pin cherry with a slight admixture of aspen, white pine and red oak. Plans and Comments: On this date I inspected the site with Alan Nye, Regional Engin- eer and Mr. Dorwa.n Thomas, Architect for Business Ventures Asso- ciates. The project is to consist of an 82 room motor inn with an indoor swimming pool and parking for 82 cars. It is to be situated upon this 1.95 acre site. Existing storm drains, municipal water and sewage systems will be utilized. Although it was strongly suggested to locate the access road oppo- site Zayre's entrance, apparently the city of S.outh Burlington requested that this be moved to the north.end of the property, RE: Application # 4CO178 The Ramada Inn retains a 68' R.O.W. adjacent to the south end of this project and opposite Zayre's entrance where signaled access could be established wheh deemed necessary. This would be especially important when the large acreage to the east of this project is developed. Landscaping will utilize existing trees where possible. How- ever, since parking areas and building construction will create compaction, overfill and mechanical pproblems it was indicated that supplemental landscaping would be carried out. The devel- oper is also cognizant to the fact that many of the existing trees consist of short-lived species and will have to be replaced as. mortality occurs. This is especially true of the border areas to the north and east as;,they will be highly subjected to root system damage and compaction due to the small size of the planting strip created by the parking areas. A performance bond for site improvements and landscaping is to be posted with the city of South Burlington. Prime agricultural and forestry soils as well as earth resources and natural areas are not involved. Energy conservation measures relate to exposure, insulation and controlled heating and cooling.

A TTr1 T TM AGENCY OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION MARTIN L. JOHNSON, Secretary Montpelier, Vermont 05602 DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION June 9, 1975 TO: Stephen B. Sease, Administrator, Land Use and Development FROM: James Sairs, Landscape Architect RE: Business Ventures Associates Application #4C0178 South Burlington, Vermont The site plan is well done, is functional and provides adequate space for landscaping. There are low level lights shown in a perspective drawing of the development but nothing on the plans showing fixture lume, pole height details etc. This ought to be tied down. There is only one sign shown and that is located on the building. From the site plan, it would appear that this sign will be difficult to see because of existing trees. They must be planning some other signing, entrance sign etc. We should know, what it is, how it -is to be lighted, and materials used. The landscape plan is inadequate in the following items: 1. There is a great deal of existing plant material on the site and it appears that they intend to keep as much of it intact as possible. However, that existing material between the entrance road -parking lot and the building will most likely be damage or removed during construction. If these trees are damaged when removed there should be some assurance that they will be replaced with others. 2. In those areas they indicate some additional planting they have not specified number, kind, or size except in vague generalities. The, only statement is "that they will be a minimum of 1" diameter". Ornamental crab trees etc. should be 1 1/2" caliper and larger shade trees should be at least 2" caliper. They indicate they will move some existing trees on the site, this is always.a questionable practice. It would be better if they used grown nursery stock. �.

SPOKES November 16, 1973 Mr. William J. Szymanski City Manager 1175 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 RE: Opinion No. 40 Site Plan Review by Planning Commission Dear Bill: AREA CODE 802 863-28S7 I have been asked to review the Planning Commission's recent consideration of a proposed site plan for the Anchorage Motor Inn on Dorset Street. Specifically, the question posed to me is whether the Planning Commission can reject the site plan if it finds that the adequacy of traffic access, circulation and parking are hindered by the variance in set back authorized by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Although this question can be answered in the affirmative, an analysis of the site plan review sections of our zoning ordinance and the rough draft of the Planning Commission minutes of November 13, 1973, raise many other legal questions and the necessity for additional clarification. The authority of the Planning Commission in considering site plans is set forth in Article XII, Section 12.25 of our zoning ordinance, as well as 24 VSA §4407(5). The Planning Commission should only consider the adequacy of traffic access, circulation and parking, and landscaping and screening. In approving a plan, the Commission may impose appropriate conditions and safeguards with respect to these items, or it may reject a plan, if in its judgment the provisions for these enumerated items are inadequate. It is not the Planning Commission's prerogative to consider whether a variance granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment is proper or improper. The Commission should confine its examination to the site plan, and attempt to work within the zoning frame- work presented to it. EWING & SPOKES Mr. William J. Szymanski Page Two November 16, 1973 If the Commission feels the setback of the proposed building from the highway hampers traffic access, circulation or parking, I believe they should specify those objections to the developer and be able to demonstrate from the planning standpoint why the proposal is inadequate. The draft of the proposed minutes of the Planning Commission meeting raises great doubts in my mind whether the plan was disapproved on the basis of the "inadequacy of the traffic access, circulation and parking". I am unable to find any specific material in the minutes which would substantiate such a conclusion. To the contrary, it appears that some of the commissioners may have voted on the sole basis of expressing their objections to the granting of a variance, and not on the basis of proper planning considerations defined in the zoning ordinance and in the enabling act. If the proposed plan of the Anchorage Motor Inn raises doubts in the eyes of the commissioners whether traffic access, circulation and parking are adequately provided for perhaps a professional planner should be appointed to review the plan as required by Article XII, Section 12.25(3) of our zoning ordinance. To resolve the current impass, I would suggest that the Planning Commission once again review the proposed site plan preferrably with the benefit of a professional planner. I feel every effort should be made by the developer and the Planning Commission to agree to appropriate conditions and safeguards if the plan presents problems. Very truly yours, RAS/n Richard A.
