Franklin Bessette, 10 Maplewood Drive - Operating a small engine repair and sale of power lawn mowers and snow blowers, would alter the character of this residential area. #4. Champlain Oil Company, 354-356 Dorset Street - The Council objected to a similar proposal (gas station - convenience store) when it was presented several months ago in the same area and for the same reasons. The Council also recommends that the Board get input from the Dorset Street Committee on this proposal. 0 7 fJ _tom 'G� e No Text November 4, 1985 Mr. C.A. Cairns Champlain oil Company P.O.

Hence we ask the Zoning Board to be extremely cautious in considering any variance to the setback require- ments' 3> There was substantial concern about southbound vehicles turning left into the gas station/store.

Champlain Oil Complex 354-356 Dorset Street ; Plans have been reviewed by this dept. and the only problem at this time is more information is needed on location of under ground storage tanks. #2. Bartlett Property Cluster #C; The only problem I can see at this time is given protection to the back unit. There must be at least an 18' fire lane to the unit for emergency equipment. Because of the location I could see if not maintained in the winter time the best we could do is try to protect life safety and unable to do anything about the building. #3. Pizzagalli New Building 35 Joy Drive; The only problem at this time is a hydrant must be installed at the main drive way to the new building. 11/25/85 JBL MOTION OF APPROVAL - That the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Champlain Oil Company for construction of a new 4480 square foot office building at 354 Dorset Street as depicted on a plan entitled "Champlain Oil Complex" prepared by Graphic/ Construction Management Services, Inc., and dated November 21, 1985 with the following stipulations: 1. A $6300 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. 2. A sewer allocation of 420 gallons per day is granted. The applicant shall pay the reqired sewer impact fee. 3. The applicant shall furnish the Fire Chief with necessary information regarding underground storage tanks and take required steps for the removal of abandoned tanks if necessary. 4. A concrete depressed curb shall be installed across the new driveway on San Remo Drive. A bond shall be posted for this work prior to permit in an amount determined by the City Engineer. 5. The parking area shall be graded to drain toward existing catch basins. 6. The applicant is encouraged to return to the Planning commission with a revised site plan to conform to interim zoning that may be established to support a City Center in this area. 7. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. PLANNING COMMISSION 25 NOVEMBER 1985 PAGE 3 prior to permit. 3. The applicant shall meet the recommendations of Wagner, Heindel & Noyse for stormwater detention bV a method approved by the City Engineer. If construction proceeds during the winter or spring months, the applicant shall follow the recommendations of Wagner, Heindel & Noyse for erosion control. 4. The plan shall show T-shaped driveways for each building, allowing two cars to park in front of a unit such that they each have unimpeded access, as approved by the City Planner. 5. A revised landscaping plan with street trees and site landscaping shall be approved �2y the City Planner prior to permit. A bond shall be posted in an amount determined the City Planner prior to permit 6. The revised plan shall be recorded with the City Clerk within 90 days or it shall be invalid. Mrs. Hurd seconded, and the motion passed unanimousl H. Consider site plan application of Tony Cairns for Champlain Oil Co. for the construction of a 4480 sq. ft. office building and use of existing building for Champlain Oil Co., at 354 Dorset St. The existing Merrill building will serve for oil storage. Offices in front will be for the dispatcher. The new building will be for office staff. One curb cut will be closed and the drive leading to the front of the Merrill building will be closed. One of 2 existing gas pumps will probably be removed. Champlain has only 4 trucks. Mr. Belter felt there should be a way to separate Champlain's lot from Alco next door. Mr. Cairns said there is a chain link fence that could be extended. The new building will be 4800 sq. ft, initially single story but with the capability of being extended to 2 stories. Mrs. Lafleur noted that the Fire Chief says there is an underground storage tank that he would like information on. Mr. Cairns said they will request that Merrill remove all tanks over a certain number of years old. Mrs. Lafleur noted that the plan conforms to existing zoning and is improving the lot. However, because new plans are being considered for Dorset St. and it may be that with re- zoning, trucking and industrial warehousing will be zoned out. The Dorset St. Committee is looking at the San Remo Dr. PLANNING COMMISSION 25 NOVEMBER 1985 PAGE I area as a possible city center and are talking about green areas, etc. The Champlain proposal is in a critical area and was shown on Boyle's plan as a green area. Mr. Cairns noted that they had closed the entrances on Dorset St. for the convenience store they propose in the future. Mrs. Lafleur noted she could not possibly recommend this plan if the entrances were not closed now. Mr. Dooley moved that the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Champlain Oil Company for construction of a new 4480 sq. ft. office building at 354 Dorset St. as depicted on a plan entitled "Champlain Oil Complex" prepared by Graphic/Construction Management Services, Inc., and dated November 21, 1985 with the fol- lowing stipulations: 1. A $6300 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. 2. A sewer allocation of 420 gals. per day is granted. The applicant shall pay the required sewer impact fee. 3. The applicant shall furnish the Fire Chief with necessary information regarding underground storage tanks and take re- quired steps for the removal of abandoned tanks if necessary. 4. A concrete depressed curb shall be installed across the new driveway on San Remo Dr. A bond shall be posted for this work prior to permit in an amount determined ]2y the City Engineer. 5. The parking area shall be graded to drain toward existing catch basins. 6. The applicant shall continue the chain link fence along the northern property line up to the newly landscaped area adjacent to Dorset St. 7. The applicant is encouraged to return to the Planning Com- mission with a revised site plan to conform to interim zoning that may be established to support a City Center in this area 8. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. Mr. Belter seconded the motion which passed unanimously. f�.

The drainage way in south-west corner should be piped instead of the open ditch. 4) CHAMPLAIN OIL, 354 DORSET STREET 1.

The storm runoff (cubic feet per second) from the site should be restricted because of my concerns on Farrell Street where the Joy Drive drainage outlets. This can be done by restricting the site discharge pipe. The result would be some short duration ponding on the site after a heavy rainfall. r November 22, 1985 Tony Cairns Champlain oil Company 32 San Remo Drive South Burlimgton, Vermont 05401 Re: Champlain Oil, Dorset Street Dear Tony: Enclosed are the agenda and a COPY of my memo to the Planning Commission regarding your application. Please be sure someone is present on Tuesday, November 26, 1985 to represent your application. Sincerely, Jane B. Lafleur, City Planner JBL/mcp Enc is CC: Paul Wamsganz Memorandum November 26, 1985 agenda items November 22, 1985 Page 2 4) CHAMPLAIN OIL COMPANY, 354 DORSET STREET The applicant proposes to construct a 4480 square foot office building on the 80,751 square foot lot on which the Merrill Trucking business is located. The office building fronts on San Remo Drive and is located directly behind the Country Kitchen bakery store. It is zoned Commercial-2 and has received Zoning Board approval for multiple uses on a lot. (The proposal for a convenience store on the Country Kitchen lot has been withdrawn. This application involves the Merrill lot only.) Access & Circulation: Circulation is adequate. The applicant has agreed to close two curb cuts (driveways) on Dorset Street: First, the driveway north of the trucking building will be closed and this northern parking lot accessed from San Remo. Second, the driveway from the center of the building at the overhead door will be closed and the front yard landscaped. This is a significant improvement both aesthetically and for safety reasons. The 66 foot opening leading to the pumps next to the Merrill building will remain. The front of Country Kitchen will not change and is not involved in this application. Although this opening does not conform to our standard, the impending Dorset Street widening will change this area significantly so I am not that concerned. It would be useless to curb and sidewalk this only to be torn up in a year or two. Parking: The parking spaces meet our requirements. The office building requires 18; nineteen are shown including two handi- capped spaces. The truck terminal requires nine and thirteen are shown. Landscaping: This plan requires a $6300 landscaping bond. The plan exceeds this requirement. A significant area of land- scaping is added along San Remo to meet the front yard coverage requirement. Traffic: This lot permits 91 trips during the peak hour. The office and storage building is expected to produce 42 trips per day according to the applicant. The ITE data shows approximately fifty one trips for two uses during the peak hour. Either estimate is acceptable. Other: A sewer allocation of 420 gallons per day is needed for the 28 total employees. See Goddette's and Szymanski's memo. Memorandum November 26, November 22, Page 3 1985 agenda items 1985 The Dorset Street Committee has reviewed an early set of plans. In general, they believe that the office use is compatible with their concepts for a City Center. They were more concerned about the plan for a convenience store and gas pumps that has been withdrawn. Advisor Peter Owens from T.J. Boyle and Associates has also reviewed this plan and agrees that although the office use is not objectionable, the trucking use is not as compatible. It is, of course, a permitted use until such time we change the zoning. The property is in a strategic centralized location in the San Remo block that will limit development options in the future. The applicant has indicated he may remove the Merrill building at some later date which may help promote the "City Center" concept. Please be aware however, that these issues are not part of the site plan review criteria. 5) PIZZAGALLI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, 35 JOY DRIVE The applicant proposes to construct a 23,000 square foot office building on the lot just west of the newly constructed office building. The plans show a connecting walkway to the newly constructed building which needs Zoning Board of Adjustment approval for a set -back variance. That walkway shall be contingent upon Zoning Board of Adjustment approval. Access and Circulation: A new 24 foot wide driveway is shown from Joy Drive. Circulation is provided around the back of the building by connecting the two parking lots. Pam: The ordinance requires 92 spaces. The applicant proposes seventy-five and therefore needs a waiver of 18%. Landscaping: A bond for $19,450 will be required prior to permit. The plan meets this requirement. Other: The sidewalk shall be continued from the sidewalk required at 55 Joy Drive. It shall be depressed concrete and continuous across the driveway. A sewer allocation of 825 gallons per day is required. The $2.50 fee per gallon shall be paid prior to permit. See Goddette's and Szymanski's comments. 16 Mayfair Street So. Burlington, Vt. 05401 November 13, 1985 Mr. Fred Blais, Chairman So. Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment Dear Fred: On November 11, the Dorset Street Committee met with Mr. Tony Cairns of the Champlain Oil Company regarding his plans for 354 & 356 Dorset St. An informal discussion followed, which covered the proposed uses, setbacks, turning traffic, visual effects, and thoughts about integrating his plans into the Dorset Street plans. The committee has not yet formed a concensus regarding the city center concept or yet made specific recommendations for the development of Dorset St. However, we have adopted and published goals and objectives. Please note that the lots in question are in the very center of the San Remo Drive "block", and hence any changes there could have a substantial effect on the city's ability to develop that area in a coordinated manner supporting a city center concept. Although no formal position was taken by the committee regarding Mr. Carin's proposal, I will try to summarize the salient points of concensus. 1) Most committee members and planning staff did not think that the proposed uses, per se, were incon- sistent with the development we want to see in that area. 2) A buffer zone, possibly a landscaped area, is desired between the edge of the widened Dorset St. and commercial/business activity.

P. O. Box 2126 South Burlington, VT 05407 RE: 354-356 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont Dear Tony: 27 High Street St. Albans, Vermont 05478 (802) 524-5245 As requested, we have examined the existing and proposed curb cuts serving your 354 and 356 Dorset Street parcels. Attachment A illustrates the existing site layout, with Lots #1 and #2 being 354 and 356 Dorset Street, respectively. Historically, we understand that each parcel .has had direct access onto Dorset Street. 354 Dorset Street is presently accessed via a well defined curb cut located between the building and the grassed island which straddles the southerly lot line. Access to 356 Dorset Street, on the other hand, essentially consisted of an undefined curb cut which extended the length of that parcel's frontage. The contract plans for the Dorset Street reconstruction project, which is now underway, proposes to completely eliminate the existing access to 356 Dorset Street. Instead, this parcel would be accessed through a 40 feet wide curb cut at 354 Dorset Street, which presently is Champlain Oil's truck terminal. The proposed access layout is shown in Attachment B. At the present time, the south side of the building and access at 354 Dorset Street is used as a refueling and servicing area for semi -trailer and other truck vehicles. With the new median on Dorset Street, traffic flow through this area will be predominantly one- way, with trucks entering from Dorset Street and exiting via San Remo Drive. We understand that at times there can be over five trucks parked in this immediate area being serviced. The Dorset Street reconstruction plans do not detail how 356 Dorset Street is to be accessed from the adjacent parcel or how parking and internal traffic circulation will be modified. Because of the land -taking which has occurred in front of the existing Civil, Environmental & Transportation Engineering • Planning • Land Surveying ATTACHMENT A ' Existing Site Plan , Mr. Tony Cairns June 16, 1993 Page 2 c building at 356 Dorset Street, it is reasonable to anticipate that all future parking will be to the rear of this building. With parking so situated, the remaining issue becomes how best to access the existing building at 356 Dorset Street. It appears that the Dorset Street reconstruction project will require this parcel to be accessed via the proposed curb cut serving 354 Dorset Street. Under that scenario, it is likely that large trucks parked_at he refueling and service area will interfere with and may even block traffic flow and access to 356 Dorset Street. An alternative is to provide 356 Dorset Street to have its own curb cut directly onto Dorset Street. Such a curb cut would most likely be located on the northerly side of the existing building. This would completely eliminate potential conflicts and dissimilar traffic flows entering and exiting via 354 Dorset Street's curb cut. To gain some insight as to the amount of traffic which would be entering and exiting 356 Dorset Street during the p.m. peak hour, we calculated the potential trip generation' of the existing building. Using typical trip generation rates for a building of this size (1,770 sq.ft.), we estimate a p.m. peak hour trip generation of 10 vte/hour (2 enter plus 8 exit) for a general office use, or 9 vte/hour (5 enter plus 4 exit) for a specialty retail use. With the new median on Dorset Street, all movements will be right -turn only. The above trip generation estimates are unlikely to create any traffic congestion or safety impacts from a new curb cut exclusively serving 356 Dorset Street. It is oyr opinion that the benefits of such a curb cut outweigh the potential negative impacts of, routing this traffic through an existing truck terminal's service area. Additionally, we understand that you are agreeable to a sunset clause being placed on such a curb cut should 354 Dorset Street cease to be used as a truck terminal. If that should happen, and 354 Dorset Street be redeveloped, the access to 356 Dorset will be closed and rerouted through 354 Dorset Street. I We hope that the above is of assistance to you.

I agree with Roger's assessment that the current plan of one curb cut serving both buildings is inadequate. This is mainly due to the location of fuel pumps at 356 Dorset Street and the likely potential for trucks which are fueling at the pumps to interfere with access to the 354 Dorset Street building. In my opinion, the best option would be to maintain one curb cut for both buildings and relocate the fuel pumps further back on this property. This concept was first proposed in 1986 as is shown on the enclosed sketch. If relocating the pumps is cost prohibitive, I support Roger's recommendation for two separate curb cuts. If this is approved, I recommended that a condition be imposed that requires the two curb cuts to be combined into one shared curb cut when the use of 354 Dorset Street changes. In addition, parking for 356 Dorset Street should be required to be provided to the rear of the building.

Dear Jane: (802) 862-6451 (802) 863-2857 Champlain Oil Company, Inc., has appealed the denial of its site plan approval for a service station at 356 Dorset Street. I have enclosed a copy of the Notice of Appeal for your files. If the planning commission has not already done so, copies of this Notice should be sent to any parties who participated in the hearing regarding this site plan application. Please send me a copy of any planning commission minutes regarding this proposal. Very truly yours, Steven F. Stitzel SFS:ljj F PLANNING COMMISSION 9 JUNE 1987 PAGE 5 Construction Company, dated 11 4 86 last revised 6 4/87 with the following stipulations: 1. A sewer allocation of 30 gpd shall be obtained prior to permit. 2. A revised site plan showing site layout change shall be submitted to the City Planner as a record prior to permit 3. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months or this approval is null and void. Mrs. Maher seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Site plan application of Tony Cairns, Champlain Oil Co. to construct a service station with a 1400 sq. ft. building and 2 pumping stations at 356 Dorset St. Mr. Cairns explained the station would be on the site of the present Country Kitchen. He explained his self -conducted traffic study which resulted in more vehicles than allowed by the overlay district. Mr. Burgess said there was again a question of whether to use the overlay district, and you can't have it both ways. (referring to the Timberlane application). Mrs. Maher said that in both the overlay and Mr. Cairns' figures the allowable vehicles is exceeded and she could not vote for the plan. It was noted that there is a plan for a convenience store at this same location that has been tabled by the Zoning Board. A poll of the Commission showed that no one was disposed to exceed the overlay zone. Mrs. Hurd moved that the Planning Commission deny the site plan application of Tony Cairns (Champlain Oil Company) on the grounds that it does not meet the traffic overlay district. Mrs. Maher seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 8. Site plan application of Berard Construction Co,Inc, to construct a 2400 sg. ft. Vermont Custom Sheet Metal building for storage use at 5 Ethan Allen Drive. Mr. Belter stepped down from the Commission during this discussion. Randy Berard explained the necessity for the second driveway to bring in supplies twice a month. Trucks must back into the building and they would not want to use the existing drive because of its proximity to the telephone pole. In order to use the back of the building they would have to use part of the steep embankment. A tractor trailer will be completely off the road when backed up.

The enclosed sheets show a traffic study that was conducted by myself in the month of March, 1987. The basis of my study was to establish the percentage of cars turning into and out of a given service station property at a given hourly period broken down by 5 minute intervals. I wanted to establish the peak periods of traffic more closely than by the hour, therefore the study was done in 5 minute increments. On March 17, I first monitored traffic on Shelburne Road, the heaviest travelled road in Chittenden County, to establish my turning percentage. I counted total traffic southbound and the amount of cars that turned into our Colonial Mart station during the hours of 4:50 - 5:50 P.M., which is the best hour for peak traffic, As you can see, the amount of cars increase dramatically at 5:35 P.M. by over 700, and then fall off at 6:00 P.M., which reflects people going home from work. The percentage of cars turning in during that hour was 30. On March 18, I concentrated on the peak minutes of the previous day (5:35-6:05) to see if my percentages were correct. However, this time the study included both north and southbound traffic at the same time, and I monitored the cars turning into the Getty station as well as the Colonial Mart. The percentage of cars turning in at both locations in this case was 20. On March 19, 1987, I counted traffic on Dorset St. at two different times, 11:40 - 11:55 A.M., to find out the numbers of cars per hour at that time, and again between 4`55 - 6:00 P.M., to reflect the driving home traffic. I project that the total turning movement of traffic northbound into our facility will be 20 of the total hourly traffic, or 10 to 11 cars per hour at peak times. I feel that the majority of the traffic southbound will not attempt to cross traffic to pull into the station, and then wait to pull back onto Dorset St. southbound again.

The applicant apparently requests credit for existing vegetation. Traffic: This lot is in traffic overlay zone 5. The maximum permitted tripends allowed for this lot is 284 trips/peak hour based on a + 5.8 acre lot. There is no ITE traffic data for auto/body repair or used car sales, but the applicant estimates 18 tripends/peak hour. Using ITE data for new car sales and service stations, this use does not exceed the overlay. Sewer Allocation: A sewer allocation of 150 gallons per day shall be obtained prior to permit. Other: See Bill Szymanski's and Chief Goddette's comments. 6) SOUTH BURLINGTON FIRE STATION, #3 HOLMES ROAD The City of South Burlington proposes to construct a 1 1/2 story, 50' x 70' fire sub -station (5250 square feet total) on a 22,100 square foot lot. Access: Access is shown via a 40 foot wide driveway off Holmes Road 'and a 24 foot wide driveway in the rear of the building to access the back parking lot. This driveway has access on to a private road off Holmes Road. Parking: 10 parking spaces are shown. This is adequate. Circulation: Circulation on the side is shown via two driveways at the front (40 feet wide) and back (24 feet wide) side of the lot and is adequate. Landscaping: Landscaping is adequate Traffic: Traffic generated by this project is not applicable due to nature of service provided. Sewer Allocation: A sewer allocation of 30 gallons per day shall be obtained prior to permit. Other: See Bill Szymanski's comments. 7) CHAMPLAIN OIL COMPANY, 356 DORSET STREET Tony Cairns of Champlain Oil Company proposes to construct a 1400 square foot service station building on a 17,500 square foot lot. This lot is zoned C-2. Approximately 12 feet beyond the existing r.o.w. will be taken with the widening of Dorset Street. Mr.. Cairns has applied for a variance to have both a convenience store and a service station on this lot. It was tabled until June 8. See Zoning Board minutes. 4 Access: Access is shown via two curb cuts on Dorset Street. Each driveway is'15 feet in width and labeled one way, entrance and exit. These proposed curb cuts do not match the model proposed in the Dorset Street frontage study by T.J. Boyle & Associates This study is only a recommendation for Dorset Street and not law. The Zoning Board would not allow Mr. Cairns to have his only access to this lot through the adjacent lot as the study shows. Parking: Parking for a service station is adequate. Circulation: Site circulation is shown with a 20 foot wide driveway by the sides of the building and between the pumps, and a 24 foot wide drive in back adjacent to the parking. This is adequate. Landscaping.• $2100 worth of landscaping is required. shown is adequate. What is Traffic: This This lot is in traffic overlay zone 5. imum permitted trip ends during a peak hour is 20. BasedThe on ITExdata for peak hour tripends per "station", 25 peak hour trip ends are generated by this use.
