The Development Review Board held a public hearing on November 15, 2016. The applicant was represented by Andy Rowe. Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1.The applicant,Mary Jo Capotrio,seeks preliminary and final plat approval for a planned unit development to subdivide a 1.02 acre parcel developed with a single family dwelling into two (2) lots of 0.47 acres (lot #3A) and 0.55 acres (lot #3B) and developing lot #3B with a two family dwelling, 1408 Hinesburg Road. 2.The owner of record of the subject property is Mary Jo Capotrio. 3.The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Neighborhood Residential Zoning District. 4.The application was received on October 5,2016. 5.The plans submitted consists of eight (8)pages. The first three (3) pages were prepared by Sterling Construction, Inc., dated 9/29/16, and labeled “Capotrio—Duplex 1408 Hinesburg Rd., S. Burl, VT.” The next five (5) pages were prepared by Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers, Inc., dated 9/30/16, and labeled “Site Plan,” “Utility & Grading Plan,” “Landscaping & EPSC Plan,”“Sitework Details & Specifications,” and “Subdivision Plat.” A)DENSITY The SEQ-NR district allows 1.2 units per acre or four (4) units per acre with Transfer of Development Rights. The parcel allows for a maximum density of four (4) units (1.02 x 4=4.08 rounded down to the nearest whole unit). The applicant has proposed three (3) units (one existing single family and one new duplex), which is within the density calculation for this parcel with the purchase of two (2) TDRs. They propose to purchase these TDRs from the Diane J. Wessel Trust, 70 Highland Terrace. B)PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS #SD-16-30 2 Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, PUDs shall comply with the following standards and conditions: (A)(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the project. The duplex units will be served by new municipal water and wastewater service connections. The existing single family home is served by an onsite drilled well and municipal wastewater service.A condition of plat approval will be that the applicant receive any necessary permits related to water and wastewater supply from the appropriate permitting agencies. (A)(2) Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In an email dated October 5, 2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. (A)(3) The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. The application materials state the proposed PUD will generate three (3)P.M. Peak Hour trips. The proposed new dwelling units (a duplex)will be accessed via a public street,Dubois Drive,and the existing home will maintain its current access on Hinesburg Road. In an email dated October 5, 2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. (A)(4) The project’s design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on the site. A review of city wetland maps indicates existing wetlands are more than 250 feet from the site. The Board finds this criterion is met. (A)(5) The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in which it is located. Building neighborhoods of higher density in the Southeast Quadrant that allow for the conservation of land in other areas of the SEQ is supported by both the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Regulations. The Board finds that the construction of the proposed duplex unit with the use of TDRs in the SEQ is compatible with the planned development patterns in the area. (A)(6) Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas. #SD-16-30 3 The proposed project creates an open corridor along the eastern edge of the property and, by siting the proposed duplex close to Dubois Drive, an open area between the existing house and the proposed duplex. The Board finds this criterion met. (A)(7) The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or (designee) to ensure that adequate fire protection can be provided. The Fire Marshall stated in an email dated November 1, 2016 that there are “no real issues for FD [Fire Department] on this one” and noted that a building permit from the Fire Marshall would be required for the duplex building.The Board finds this criterion met. (A)(8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners. In an email dated October 5, 2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board finds this criterion met. (A)(9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. For Transect Zone subdivisions, this standard shall only apply to the location and type of roads, recreation paths, and sidewalks. In an email dated October 5, 2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board finds this criterion met. (A)(10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). The Board finds the project to be aligned with the goals and objectives of the district since it will have a greater density of housing combined with off-site conservation of land in the Natural Resources Protection District through the use of TDRs.The Board finds this criterion to be met. D.SOUTHEAST QUADRANT This proposed subdivision is located in the Southeast Quadrant District. Therefore it is subject to the provisions of Section 9 of the SBLDR. 9.06 Dimensional and Design Requirements Applicable to All Su b-Districts.The following standards shall apply to development and improvements within the entire SEQ: A.Height. (1)The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-NRP, SEQ-NRT, or SEQ-NR sub- district shall not exceed forty-five feet (45’); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures in these sub-districts. The proposed building will not be more than 28 feet in height.The Board finds this criterion to be met. #SD-16-30 4 B.Open Space and Resource Protection. (1)Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels This topic has been covered already in these comments.The Board finds this criterion met. (2)Building lots,streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the Regulating Plan for the applicable sub-district allowing carefully planned development at the average densities provided in this bylaw. There are no proposed new streets.The Board finds this criterion met. (3)A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be established by the applicant. The existing single family home will be located on its own parcel and maintain its property. The proposed duplex on Lot 3B will include common land the management of which will be overseen by an association comprised of the two (2) owners of the units. (4)Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review Board may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. (5)Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape. Chain link fencing other than for agricultural purposes shall be prohibited within PUDs; the use of split rail or other fencing made of natural materials is encouraged. In an email dated October 5,2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board considers these criteria to be met. C.Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer area s between existing agricultural operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community-supported agriculture. The Board finds that the conservation of agricultural lands is not applicable to this project. D.Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review Board that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development, the location of buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned public facilities as depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths, #SD-16-30 5 streets, park land, schools, and sewer and water facilities. (1)Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity shall be available to meet the needs of the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirement, as evidenced by a City water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater Permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation. A condition of final plat approval will be that prior to receiving a zoning permit the applicant will need to obtain whichever of the permits listed above are necessary for the site. (2)Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. This topic has been covered already in these comments.The Board finds this criterion met. (3)Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. In an email dated October 5, 2016, the Board received comments from the Public Works Department indicating support for the project design. The Board considers these criteria to be met. (4)The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire protection can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to, minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants. This topic has already been covered in these comments. The Board finds this criterion met. E.Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles between neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants. (1)Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. There are no new proposed streets. (2)Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. There are no new proposed streets. (3)The provisions of Section 15.12(D)(4) related to connections between adjacent streets and #SD-16-30 6 neighborhoods shall apply. There are no new proposed streets. 9.07 Regulating Plans A.... B.… C.… D.Parks Design and Development. (1)General standards.The SEQ has an existing large community park, the Dorset Street Park Complex. Parks in the SEQ may be programmed as neighborhood parks or mini -parks as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Mini parks in the SEQ should be a minimum of 10,000 square feet, with programming approved by the South Burlington Recreation Department. Such parks are to be located through the neighborhoods in order to provide a car -free destination for children and adults alike, and to enhance each neighborhood’s quality of life. They shall be knitted into the neighborhood fabric as a focal point in the neighborhood, to add vitality and allow for greater surveillance by surrounding homes, local streets and visitors. Each park should be accessible by vehicle, foot, and bicycle and there should be a park within a quarter-mile of every home. The proposed development is adjacent to city owned open space parcels and within approximately a quarter-mile of a proposed city park as specified on the Community Facilities map in the Comprehensive Plan. 9.08 SEQ-NR &NRT Sub-District; Specific Standards The SEQ-NR and SEQ-NRT sub-district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated in this Section. A.Street, Block and Lot Pattern (1)Development blocks. Development block lengths should range between 300 and 500 linear feet. If it is unavoidable, blocks 500 feet or longer must include mid -block public sidewalk or recreation path connections. (2)Interconnection of Streets (a)Average spacing between intersections shall be 300 to 500 feet. (b)Dead end streets (e.g. culs de sac) are strongly discouraged. Dead end streets shall not exceed 200 feet in length. (c)Street stubs are required at the end of dead end streets to allow for future street connections and/or bicycle and pedestrian connections to open space and future housing on adjoining parcels per section 15.12(D)(4). (3)Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the property line and connected to adjacent parcels per section 15.12(D)(4) of these Regulations. Posting signs with a notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly encouraged. There are no new proposed streets. (4)Lot ratios. Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5 recommended. #SD-16-30 7 Lot 3A (existing single family house) has a ratio of 1:2 and Lot 3B (proposed duplex) has a ratio of 1.3:1 when viewed from Dubois Drive; however, if the lot is considered from Hinesburg Road then the ratio is approximately 1:2.9, according to the applicant. The applicant has requested a waiver from the lot ratio requirement. B.Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards (1)Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) in the NR sub-district are intended to be low-speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set forth in Tables 9-1 and 9-2, and Figures 9-4 and 9-5 of the SBLDR. (2)Sidewalks. (a)Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet (5’) in width with an additional minimum five-foot planting strip (greenspace) separating the sidewalk from the street. (b)Sidewalks are required on one side of the street. There are no new proposed streets or sidewalks. The Board notes that there is a sidewalk on the north side of Dubois Drive. (3)Street Trees; see Section 9.08(B)(3) (a)Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet wide. (b)Street tress shall be large, deciduous shade trees with species satisfactory to the City Arborist. Street trees to be planted must have a minimum caliper size of 2.5 to 3 inches DBH, and shall be planted no greater than thirty feet (30’) on center. The City Arborist submitted the following comments regarding the landscaping in an email dated November 1, 2016: Tree protection plans and details need to be included with the plans for all trees slated to be retained The 2 Pin Oaks being retained are in the city right of way and therefore are city trees. Any pruning on city trees shall be in accordance with ANSI A-300 Pruning Standards. In the event of damage to city trees, the city shall be compensated as per the City Tree Ordinance A condition of plat approval will be that the applicant provide tree protection plans and details and that any pruning of city trees be in accordance with ANSI A-300 Pruning Standards. (4)On-street parking. Sufficient space for one lane of on-street parking shall be provided on all streets except for arterials outside of the SEQ-VC and SEQ-VR sub-districts. This requirement may be waived within the SEQ-NRN sub-district provided the DRB finds sufficient off-street parking has been provided to accommodate the parking needs of the uses adjacent to the street. (5)Intersection design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and to slow traffic. (6)Street and sidewalk lighting. Pedestrian-scaled light fixtures (e.g., 12’ to 14’) shall be #SD-16-30 8 provided sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall illumination levels should be consistent with the lower-intensity development patterns and character of the SEQ, with lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot-spots) and trespass minimized to the lowest level consistent with public safety. There are no new streets, intersections, or street/sidewalk lighting proposed as part of this project. C.Residential Design (1)Building Orientation. Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary entries for single family and multi-family buildings must face the street. Secondary building entries may open onto garages and/or parking areas…A minimum of thirty - five percent (35%) of translucent windows and surfaces should be oriented to the south… (2)Building Façades. Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation approach. Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but façades should be varied from one building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches, stoops, and balconies that create semi-private space and are oriented to the street are encouraged. (3)Front Building Setbacks. A close relationship between the building and the street is critical to the ambiance of the street environment. (a)Buildings should be set back a maximum of twenty-five feet (25’) from the back of sidewalk. (b)Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8’) into the front setbacks. (4)Placement of Garages and Parking. For garages with a vehicle entrance that faces a front lot line, the façade of the garage that includes the vehicle entrance must be set back a minimum of eight feet (8’) behind the building line of the single or two -family dwelling. (5)Mix of Housing Styles. A mix of housing styles (i.e. ranch, cape cod, colonial, etc.), sizes, and affordability is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. These should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of near-identical units. The proposed housing units and existing housing unit have entrances facing public roads—a requirement of the regulations.The westerly duplex unit would have a front façade facing Hinesburg Road and the easterly duplex unit would have a façade facing Dubois Drive, thus giving the entire building a presence on both streets.Lot 3B has a front setback of less than 25 feet on Dubois Drive, which is suggested by the regulations, and a setback of greater than 50 ft. on Hinesburg Road.Each garage will be set back at least eight feet from the front building line of the duplex unit with which it is associated. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. E.WAIVERS The applicant is requesting a waiver from the lot ratio requirement discussed above for Lot 3B.The applicant is requesting that Lot 3B be permitted to have a lot ratio of 1.3:1.The Board finds the waiver #SD-16-30 9 being requested is in alignment with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the Southeast Quadrant Zoning District as already discussed in these comments. F.STORMWATER The Stormwater Section provided the following comments to the Board in an email dated October 14, 2016: The applicant should consider installing a backflow preventer on the 6” SDR35 PVC sump pump discharge pipe,as to prevent basement flooding during potential extreme wet weather conditions. The applicant provided the following response to those comments in an email dated October 21,2016: The existing single family home is served by a sump pump. Each of the new units in the duplex will also be served by a sump pump. The discharges from all three sump pumps is collected in a 6” gravity pipe that outlets to the existing ditch near the intersection of Hinesburg Road and Dubois Drive. A check valve is typically provided on the sump pump discharge piping or integral to the pump. We’ve added a note (#3) to sheet 2 requiring either a check valve or backwater valve be provided to prevent back-ups into the basements. Stormwater Section staff indicated their support of the applicant’s response. A condition of approval will be that the applicant submit updated plans reflecting the changes proposed in their response. G.ENERGY STANDARDS The Board notes that all new buildings are subject to the Stretch Code pursuant to Section 3.15: Residential and Commercial Building Energy Standards of the LDRs. H.TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS (TDR) The parcel is developed with a single family dwelling on 1.02 acres and has one (1) transferable development right (1.2 units per acre X 1.02 acres = 1.224 or 1). In order to construct the proposed two family dwelling, the applicant will have to obtain two (2) TDRs. The applicant will be required to obtain these TDRs prior to the issuance of a zoning permit to construct the proposed two fam ily dwelling. I.SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site plan approval. Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: A.Relationship of Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan .

The Board finds that this criterion is being met. #SD-16-30 10 B.Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site. (1)The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and adequate parking areas. The proposed building is to be located to the north of the existing single family dwelling approximately the same distance from Hinesburg Road thereby creating a desirable transition from structure to structure. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. (2)Parking: (a)Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings.Any side of a building facing a public street shall be considered a front side of a building for the purposes of this subsection. This standard does not apply to the proposed two family dwelling.The Board finds that this criterion is being met. (b)The Development Review Board may approve parking between a public street and one or more buildings if the Board finds that one or more of the following criteria are met. The Board shall approve only the minimum necessary to overcome the conditions below. Not applicable. (3)Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or anticipated adjoining buildings. The proposed building would be less than 28 ft. in height and similar in scale to the existing single family dwelling.The Board finds that this criterion is being met. (4)Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansion shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. All new utilities will be placed underground. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. C.Relationship of Structures and Site to Adjoining Area. (1)The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common materials and architectural characteristics (e.g., rhythm, color, texture, form or detailing), landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions between buildings of different architectural styles. (2)Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed structures. The Board considers that the proposed building is similar to the surrounding houses in style and height. The Board finds that this criterion is being met. #SD-16-30 11 In addition to the above general review standards, site plan applications shall meet the following specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the Land Development Regulations: 1.Access to Abutting Properties.The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial or collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area. Staff does not consider the reservation of land to be necessary. 2.Utility Services.Electric, telephone and other wire-served utility lines and service connections shall be underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications must be underground. 3.Disposal of Wastes.All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s).
