Sincerely, Joe Weith, City Planner JW/mcp Encls PLANNING COMMISSION 23 JANUARY 1990 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a meeting on Tuesday, 23 January 1990, at 7:30 pm, in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present William Burgess, Acting Chairman; Mary -Barbara Maher, Catherine Peacock, John Belter, Ann Pugh, William Craig, David Austin Also Present Joe Weith, City Planner; Sid Poger, The Other Paper; Amy Gregory, Paul Ferland, Ray Kaigle, John Concannon, James Lamphere, Carl Cobb, T. & C.

Other Business a) Mr. Weith reminded members of the joint meeting on Monday 1/29, with the City Council and Southeast Quadrant Committee to hear the T.i.Boyle report 2. Review Minutes of 9 January 1990 It was noted that on page 5 the word "lift" should be "life". It was also noted that the designation "normal to plumb" should read "perpendicular to plumb". Mrs. Maher moved that the Minutes of 9 January be approved as amended. Ms. Peacock seconded. Motion passed unanimouslv. 3. Site 64,800 Park, S plan application of I.C.V. for construction of a sq. ft. building for office use, lot #1, Green Tree ike Road Mr. Ferland said this is the first lot across from Digital. It was noted that the Commission is trying to get away from compact car spaces and Mr. Ferland said they have no problem reducing the building somewhat and doing away with compact spaces. The building would have to be reduced by about 3,000 sq. ft., but the coverage would stay the same. Mr. Weith noted that if Gregory Dr. is considered the front yard, setbacks are met. Mr. Ferland said the access will be directly opposite Grainger. The building is placed at an angle because they thought the right-of-way was elsewhere and they will realign it if the Commissiion wants. Mr. Craig raised the question of whether the 70o front yard green space PLANNING COMMISSION 23 JANUARY 1990 PAGE 2 is met if Gregory Dr. is considered the building front. Mrs. Msaher felt it more aesthetically pleasing to have the green space on the corner. Mr. Ferland noted that meeting the 700 requirement would cost a row of parking. Mr. Weith advised that waiving the 70o front yard green space required a variance. Mr.Weith also noted that the City Engineer has asked for a retention basin in the s.w. corner which will require green space. Mr. Craig asked if the building is sprinklered. Mr. Ferland said it is. Mr. Craig said the siamese connection must also be shown. Ms. Pugh asked whether the Commission can look at the traffic impact on Kennedy Dr/Kimball Ave. Mr. Weith thought this would be helpful. He noted the applicant will contribute to the improvement fund for Kennedy/Williston Rd. Mr. Weith said a traffic study can be required. He thought Act 250 had put a cap on traffic for the entire development and will check where development is now in relation to that cap. He will also check to see if a traffic study was done at sub- division time. With regard to landscaping, Mr. Weith recommended a berm along Gregory Dr. and Shunpike Rd. He would like it to go all the way to the corner with possible staggered elevations. Mr. Ferland said the building will be 35 ft. high. Mr. Craig asked for all contours, preconstruction grade, etc. Mrs. Maher moved to continue the hearing on the application with the understanding that it will be rescheduled within 60 s . Ins. Peacock seconded. Motion ssed unanimousl` 4. Sketch plan application of William Wessell for construction of a 50-unit planned residential development on a 48.7 acre parcel on Van Sicklen Road. Mr.Austin stepped down during this discussion due to a pos- sible conflict of interest. Mr. Wessell located the property which he owns. He said it is primarily open, gently sloping from west to east. It is crossed by Muddy Brook. The Wessell's own home is on the I ot. Noting that the Wessels want to combine 2 non-contiguous parcels to achieve a minimum 50 acre lot, Mrs. Maher asked how this can be done. Mr. Weith noted this can be done if the Commission feels there can be a gain in open space be- N M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Joe Weith, City Planner Re: January 23, 1990 agenda items Date: January 19, 1990 3) ICY. LOT 11, GREEN TREE PARK ICV proposes to construct a 3-story, 64,800 square foot building for office use on lot #1 of Green Tree Park. The property is zoned I-C. It is bounded on the north by industrial use (under construction), on the east by Gregory Drive and W.W. Grainger, and on the south and west by Shunpike Road. Setbacks/coverage: All setbacks are met with the exception of the rear yard. Rear yard setback is 30 feet and the building is 15 feet from the rear property line. Proposed building coverage is 14% (30% max allowed) and total lot coverage is 70% ( 70`/o max allowed) . Access: Access would be provided by a 30 foot wide driveway off Gregory Drive. This driveway would be located directly opposite the access to W.W. Grainger. Circulation: Circulation is provided on 3 sides of the huilding and is adequate. Parking:_ The project requires 259 parking spaces and 259 are proposed. 61 compact car spaces are proposed which represents 24% of the total spaces. I have informed the applicant of the Commission's feelings toward compact car spaces. Sewer: The project will require a sewer allocation of 4,575 gpd based on an estimate of 304 employees. The applicant shall pay the $2.50 per gallon fee at permit. Traffic: Based on I.T.E. Code 710, "General Office Building", the project will generate 143 trip ends during the peak hour. The applicant shall contribute $1,414 to - Williston Road Improvement Fund (Area 2) based on the 143 trips. 1 A Memorandum - Planning January 23, 1990 Agenda items January 19, 1990 Page 2 Landscaping: I could not determine required landscaping value because the cost of construction was not indicated. The land- scape plan proposes maple, Austrian Pine, .juniper and crabapple. The quantities were not indicated. The plan should also show the proposed location of plantings which are the responsibility of Green Tree Park, Inc. In addition to the landscaping, I strongly recommend the construction of berms along Gregory Drive and Shunpike Road. This huge expanse of pavement and parked cars will have a dramatic visual impact. The proposed plantings of Junipers and several Austrian pine will have no screening affect. This is becoming an important entrance to South Burlington and we should work to create a nice image. Other: Contours on the drawing would be helpful. Additionally, elevations of the building showing preconstruction grade, fin- ished grade and building height should be submitted prior to permit. 4) WESSEL. 50 UNIT PRD. VAN SICKLEN ROAD Bill Wessel proposes to construct a 50 unit P.R.D. on a 48.7 acre parcel on Van Sicklen Road. 7.3 acres of this 48.7 acre parcel are in Williston. Mr. Wessel would also be using his 12.8 acre parcel located 500 feet to the north in order to meet P.R.D. and density requirements. The property is zoned Agricultural and Rural Residential. This district allows non-contiguous lots to be combined for develop- ment as a P.R.D. if the Planning Commission determines that such combination will enhance open space objectives. The 48.7 acre parcel is bounded on the north and east by open land, on the west by a horse stable and large lot residences, and on the south by a single-family home and Van Sicklen Road. Muddy Brook runs through the southeast corner of the parcel. The 12.8 acre parcel is bounded by open land to the south and east, sin- gle-family residences to the north and Highland Terrace to the west. Densit— Before allowable density can be determined, the Planning Commission must make a decision on a couple of issues in terms of interpreting the Zoning Regulations. 2 M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J. Szymanski, City Engineer Re: January 23, 1990 agenda items Date: January 19, 1990 1. The westerly part of this lot drains toward the intersection of Shunpike Road. A retention basin for that area must be pro- vided. 2. The City has a snow storage easement along the east -west leg of Shunpike Road. That area should remain grass. 4) WESSELL SUBDIVISION. VAN SICKLEN ROAD 1. At least twice in recent years, the City has closed Van Sicklen Road because of Muddy Brook flooding. Units 10, 11 & 12 may be in that flood prone area. They may also be in the conser- vation zone. They should be placed on the opposite side of the street. 2. The ledge outcrop adjacent to the proposed street intersec- tion should be removed to improve sight distance.
