Po€er :;anted to see and consider the traffic re_:,ort before a decision was made. Er. Kennedy was told that the report would deal with the intersections mentioned, but that the Commission wanted tozsee a level of service for each lane. The motion carried with :,:essrs.

Spitz e):plained that Mr. Victory was selling 5.26 acres to Mx. Liu and that another small ;parcel would be sold to ;:CS. This is fine if it is attached to the NCR lot, but it has no road frontage now. :•:r. Spitz noted that there was also a 1C0' x 23C' lot which by a court decree in 1.0174 belongs to I-'-r. Victory's son, but the court action does not set forth"where the boundaries are on Williston Road.

The units will be 18' x 34' and 2 stories high. They will be 1100 sq. ft. and be 2 bedroom units. No basement is planned but there will be carports. 32 parking spaces are planned but more can be added. Xr. Foger said the Commission has been requesting 2 parking spaces per unit. Xr. Ewing mentioned a gravel area for parking of boats, campers,etc. Mr. Mona suggested a stipulation that there be no access from Williston Road, and requiring the present home to use the new private road was also mentioned, although that may nct be a good idea. Kr. Liu was told to discuss the plan with the Fire Chief. Application by :parry Gipure for sketch plan review of a 2 lot subdivision at the corner of Airport Farkway and Kirby Road Kr. Spitz noted that the parcel in question was split when Airport Parkway ..as constructed. Two plans for the subdivision were shown, with one of the= including the small parcel separated from the rest of the lot by the road as part of the square footage of the lot. A variance will be required to build in either case because of the 75' setback from Airport Parkway. ;sir. Levesque felt the city had created the hardship when it constructed the road and increased the lot size by 3,OJO sq. ft. r. :,:ona wanted to count the little piece of land, since it was separated from the rest of the land by eminent domain. r. Foger preferred option 2. He was told that if that option were taken, the lot would rot contain 18,000 sq. ft., but he noted that the city had caused some of the problems so it should allow a smaller lot. Option -2, without the little piece of land, was preferred by the Commission. The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 pm. w Clerk i 5) Liu/Victory Ying Lui is proposing to purchase the large majority of Emery Victory's land (5 + acres) and to construct a 21-unit PUD. The proposed road and building layout is not shown yet, but the sketch plan is being scheduled to show the proposed change in lot lines. Emery Victory proposed to sell one parcel without road frontage to the abutting NCR company. This potential transaction must be confirmed by the proposed purchaser. He also claims that a 23,000 square foot parcel in the front now belongs to his son through a will -connected court decree. However, no municipal approval has been given for this lot. Therefore, this parcel (which was in- cluded in land shown or. previous Victory subdivisions) is also sub- ject to review at this time. 6) Gigure Applicant owns a parcel on Kirby Road and Airport Parkway that was split in two when the latter road was built. A small parcel, 1732.5 square feet, is undevelopable; a larger parcel, 31,000 square feet with an existing house fronting on Kirby Road, is being proposed for a 2-lot subdivision. The enclosed maps show 2 alternative options for a subdivision, one including the small parcel across the road as part of the minimum lot size requirement. Because of the required 75 foot setback from Airport Parkway, a variance will be needed to allow construction on either subdivision option. The Planning Commission can provide input to the Zoning Board on which lot divisions and setback variances, if any, it prefers. #Dull 4urlittg tnu 3Rire D epartndut f 575 Burset *trcet #vut4 lAurlington. llermant 05401 1 " OFFICE OF JAMES W.

STOKES COUNSEL I would recommend the following changes in the documents you sent me by letter dated. August 20, 1982: AGREEMENT: 1. In the second whereas clause I would suggest you add this language: "by action of the !South Burlington Zoning Board of Ad- justment on June 7, 1982s" 2. I would like to see a paragraph number 4 added along the following lines: "This agreement shall run with the Land and shall be binding upon all assigns, grantees, successors and/or heirs of the Owner." EASEMENT DEEDM Apparently a storm drainage easement is required rather than a sewerline easement, Thus, references to pipelines, etc. are in appropriate. The deed should simply indicate that it is a storm drainage easement. In addition, the bill of sale language should be deleted. IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION: In the second whereas clause the reference to sewer and waterlines should be deleted and some language inserted referring to the storm drainage easements. Russell Niquette, Jr., Esq. - 2 - August 24, 1982 WARRANTY DEED TO STREET: This is fine but I would suggest that the plan delineate the street as "Helen Avenue".

M E M O R A N D UM FROM: David H. Spitz, City Planner TO: South Burlington Planning Commission RE: Next Week's Agenda DATE: July 30, 1982 While the number of summer meetings has been reduced, applications remain fairly heavy. Please expect a long meeting on Tuesday and/or continuation of hearings to next Tuesday, August 10. The subsequent meeting will be August 24. 3. Rebecca Square One of the requirements for a residential PUD is a minimum total area of 5 acres. If the front lot in this subdivision is developed for office use, the remaining acreage will no longer qualify for a PUD. Several dimensional changes. would be required for the rear lots. Instead, the applicant would not like to give us his recent office use approval (see attached letter), and to replace it with up to 12 apartment units. with access. to Williston Road. This access arrangement is consistent with the last Planning Commission discussion on this application. Since the applicant wishes to develop the single-family units quickly, the specific layout for the apartments will be presented at a later date. A stipulation will be needed (the City Attorney has been consulted) to make the PUD approval contingent on residential use only. This application has already received preliminary plat approval. The only change for this revised preliminary plat is an expansion of the front lot on which the apartments are to be built. Also, the one other lot on Williston Road, previously subdivided by Emery Victory and now owned by LTH Associates, may be modified exact dimensions need to be resolved. 4. Bartlett Property - Commercial Lots The application is for the first three commercial lots. The applicant i.s proposing two of those lots with frontage on Shelburne Road but with access on to the new road. I have suggested that a shared access and joint right-of-way would b.e the most feasible. However, the applicant is proposing separate access points with one lot containing a 40 foot wide "handle" on to the new road. This arrangement does not comply with minimum frontage requirements. Site plans will be presented later by the prospective buyers. I would advise that these uses be carefully received to ensure that the proposed 80,000 s.q,uare foot lots. are sufficient for their operations. 5. GMP Headquarters Applicants are attempting to initiate construction quickly. Most site plan submitted, but several items of information and issues must still be completed. LANDSCAPING: General landscaping information is included. Specific tree s.i.zes and location and overall cost will not be ready until later in the construction phase.

VERMONT 05401 802-658-1891 July 20, 1982 Sidney Poger Chairman South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington, Vt. Re: LTH Application on Williston Rd. Dear Mr. Poger: As you may know, I represent two clients in an appeal of the variance issued to LTH Associates for an office building construction in the R4 district, at 1514-1516 Williston Rd. In reviewing the application for preliminary plat approval (revised) and PUD, I have realized that the application appears insufficient under the South Burlington Zoning Regulations and would like to share these thoughts with you. The application by LTH for Planning Commission approval appears not to meet the requirement that all uses in a PUD in this district be non- commercial and the PUD application include 5 acres. In light of the commercial variance issued by the Board of Adjustment, LTH cannot include that lot of 94,000 Square feet or 2.16 acres in its proposal. The plats submitted refer to 5.26 acres as the area of the LTH holding and this figure(5.26) minus the 2.16 of the commercial variance leaves about 3.1 acres, too small for PUD application. Permitted uses in this PUD are listed in 6.303 of the zoning regs: Permitted uses may include and shall be limited to dwellings units in detached, semi-detached or attached structures or any combination thereof and customary accessory uses and buildings including private garages and recreation facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools. Reg. 6.302(a) requires a PUD application to present at least 5 acres in this district. It seems that the Planning Commission should take a hard look at the application, and perhaps not approve it at this time while it is insufficient. My clients are not opposed to residential growth on this site but believe the Planning Commission should not approve an insufficient plat. I note that the sketch plan application dated 9/8/81 paragraph 5 lists "PROTECTIVE COVENANTS" at Vol. 48,page 118. While this is private land -use restrictions to single family dwellings,this should be noted. My clients approve of the past actions of the Planning Commission and City Council in disapproving of the use of variances to alter the zoning of South Burlington. The Vermont Supreme Court shares that concern in several recent cases, as I do. We hope and seek that the Planning Commission does not approve a revised preliminary plat fori�LTH until the applicant eliminates the proposed commercial usage of the land abutting Williston Road. The condition of its earlier approval in Nov. 1981, Condition #1 "no commercial dse of that lot"has been breached. We urge the Planning Commission to approve only sufficient preliminary plats, including minimum 5 acres for residential PUD, or await the outcome of the invalidity of the use variance issued by the Board of Adjustment. It is my hope you will consider this letter on behalf of Fire District #2 and several concerned citizens of South Burlington, all of whom own property in the City and seek to insure its Planning and Zoning laws are fairly followed for the good of the community and all concerned. Please write or call if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration to this matter. Yours truly, Joel A.

MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 11/6/81 2) BDP Office Complex This 20 + acre property is located just north of Nordic Ford and currently contains one office building. Five new office buildings are proposed. Layout consists of one lot with buildings served by internal private streets. This commercial complex should be reviewed as a PCD, and traffic data will have to be submitted. In addition to the one existing curb cut on Shelburne Road (shared with Nordic Ford), there will be one additional curb cut. It will be located directly across from Holmes Road and will begin "Holmes Road Extension", a major future street connection that runs along the entire western boundary of the property. An 80 foot r-o-w must be provided on this boundary along with a 60 foot connection to Green Mountain Drive. Rebecca Square The n r and layout of lots is very similar to the sketch plan proposal. Various utility lines, including drainage systems, are shown; detailed information must be provided for final plat review. There are still 2 lots with access on to Williston Read. One has an existing dwelling and will be expanded by the narrow strip between it and National Cash Register. The second is a new 40,900 square foot lot and is described on the application as being for "proposed commercial use." I would strongly re- commend that all references to commercial use be removed from this application. These two lots should share the one existing curb cut. Also, if the other existing house in the rear wishes to retain its current access onto Williston Road, I do not see why this should be a problem even though there will now be new access behind the house onto the cul-de-sac. 4) Ryan, Winding Brook Proposed number of units has been reduced to 72 and layout has been medified according to the fire chief's reconmndations. The through road has been improved by addition of several gentle curves and by relocation of all but a few parking spaces. Church of God driveway will be relocated so that only one culvert across the dra.inageway will be needed. The existing culvert will be removed. The applicant should obtain written agreement from the Church or should demon- strate that there are no legal restrictions against relocation of the right- of-way. The sidewalk will be constructed along Hinesburg Road from Kennedy Drive to the new entrance. Total length is more than Ryan's Hinesburg Road front- age and is a sufficient requirement. MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 9/18/81 2) Leuang Proposal is to divide an existing lot with a house into two residential lots. Lot size is sufficient for each lot, however, lot frontage is sub- standard. The Zoning Board recently granted a variance allowing 70 foot front- age on one lot and 75 foot frontage on the other. I see no problems with this application. 3) Ryan Property At preliminary plat approval, the Planning Commission required that the buildings be reoriented to remove parking spaces from the main road. Applicant has been able to move all but a few spaces away from the road and is now bring- ing in the new building arrangement for review prior to the final drawings. Several rear setbacks have been reduced to as low as 15 feet, but this appears nece:..ary to acc(xr"ate the new layout. I will be discussing fire access questions with the fire chief prior to Tuesda 's meet -' LTH Associates ___� New proposal is fora cul-de-sac road with access to Helen Avenue. All but one of the 9 residential lots will have at least 10,000 square feet. Proposed frontages areas low as 75 feet. One lot is proposed with access onto Williston Road. The applicant has in- dicated his desire for commercial use on that lot, but that issue must be decided by the Zoning Board. The Planning Commission must determine whether access to Williston Road will be permitted. LTH also owns the other previously subdivided Victory lot with frontage on Williston Road. Shared access can be arranged. Also, the narrow strip on the other side of this lot should be consolidated at this time. 5) Corporate Circle This memo will not be available until Monday.

PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 2 1, 1981 had used traffic figures TEA did not agree with. Mitel used average daily traffic figures from the report done in 1979 by TEA for the city. Those counts were taken in Yebruary. Mr. Spitz said one option would be to apply an adjustment factor to the February counts, but he said he would also be willing to accept the counts Mitel used. Mr. Poger agreed that those counts were accepted 3 months ago and should probably be accepted now as the base numbers. A growth factor will be added to them. Sketch plan application bf LTH Associates "for 8 new single-family lots and 1 commercial lot on Williston -Road, -Victory Drive and Helen Avenue Mr. Krebs said that after the last meeting, where opposition to clustered housing was expressed, the developer met with the neighbors and now has a new plan. They will still use the same access point they proposed last time, but will now have a cul-de-sac. Lots 1-9 front on the now road and lot 6 has access to Williston Road now. Mr. Krebs felt that if the Commission allowed lot 10, the developer would be willing to rr_ve lot 6 have access on the new road. The developer wants a commercial use on lot 10, but that is a 'Zoning Board decision. - The Commission unanimously agreed that it wanted access for lot 6 to be off the cul-de-sac. Mr. Krebs said the line between 5 and 6 and 10 would probably be moved so that a chunk of land were added to the land with the existing house. Mr. Poger asked about lot 10 sharing access with the lot with the two-story house. Mr. Thibault said the neighbors had objected to apartments or condominiums. They have been told that the use of lot 10 would probably be an office complex, but Mr. Poger said that could not be guaranteed. The Commission discussed having lot 10 exit out of the cul-de-sac also, and asked neighoors now they felt about a multi -family use on lot 10. Mr. Thibault felt that if traffic from that lot exited to Williston Road, there would probably be less objection. Mr. Mona asked about drainage. Mr. Krebs said he, Mr. Szymanski and Dr. Slack had discussed it. A drain in the area goes under a garage and it does not seem to function. He said catch -basins might be put in and the drainage rerouted to Gilbert Wit. Mr. Reg Ploof asked about sidewalks. Mr. Poger said it would probably be on the opposite side of the street from him. Mr. Ploof asked about drainage going to Williston Road and Mr. Krebs said he would look into it. Ms. Gadecki noted that she lived across the road from Mx. Ploof and that she had seen cars come around the corner at Helen Avenue and Victory Drive and spin around in the winter. She was concerned for children in the area who walk in the road to go to school. Mr. Levesque felt the residents should go to the City Council and request sidewalks. A stop sign was also mentioned by a resident. It was suggested that the developer put a sidewalk on Helen Avenue going toward White St, instead of putting one around the cul-de-sac. Mr. Walsh arrived at this time. The city might finish the sidewalk the developer started in this area. Mr. Poger had no problem with the sketch plan but did not like the idea of a commercial lot in front. He said he would prefer a multi -family use on that lot which would use the current drive to access to Williston Rd. He was afraid that if a commercial use went in, other commercial uses along that side of the road would start to be put in. PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 8, 1981 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, September 8, 19bl at 7:30 pm in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset St. Members Present Sidney Poger, Chairman; Kirk Woolery, Peter Jacob, Ernest Levesque, James Ewing, George Mona Member Absent Robert Walsh Others Present David Spitz, Planner; Doris & Elwood Coins, Olga & David Morton, Paul Hill, Harold Brown, R.J.

Jacob and Levesque. Withdrawl of preliminary plat application by LTH Associates for a 20 unit FUD on Williston (toad, Victory Drive and Helen Avenue Mr. Spitz said he had been informed by the developer that he had met with the residents last week and that as a result of that meeting, the application would be withdrawn and would be resubmitted with mostly single family homes being proposed. A member of the audience said he had been concerned with drainage in the area for a long time, but after talking with the city engineer and the applicant's engineer, he felt that at last there might be something decent in that area. Continuation of'final 4 lot industrial subd by Harold and Janice Brown for a y 2 lots on Williston and :;hunoike Mr. Poger noted that at the original meetings on the application, the city planner and city engineer had preferred access on Shunpike Road. The Commission had preferred Williston Road unanimously, but the state will not allow another curb cut here, nor will it allow expanded use of an existing curb cut. The state feels that access from Shunpike Road is safer. "r. Woolery came in at this point. Mr. Ferry said the entrance road was now shown so that it came in across from the Hills property with a large enough radius so that it could be a public street in the future. Mr. Hills is unhappy with the fact that headlights will shine on his property, but Mr. Perry said there were no windows on the north side of the west face of the Hills house and he added that the floor of the house was 9' above the road level. He said that the developer would just 48 soon have the curved boundary moved south a little, closer to the Godard M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning commission Fran: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 9/4/81 2) Dr. Brown Proposed Shunpike Road entrance is now located so that it could accomodate a future public street. Also, it is approximately 150 feet to the north of Lavallee's property and will not enter directly across from any houses on the other side of the street. Separation distance from Williston Road is adequate. Funds for a sidewalk along Williston Road must still be provided. 3) Rebecca Square After a meeting with the neighbors, the applicant has decided to withdraw his proposal for a 20 unit multi -family project. A new application for pre- dominantly single-family homes will be presented shortly. 4) Ridgewood A meeting has been held with the fire chief and the applicant's engineer and architect. The compromise solution is that the same layout will be retained, however, new emergency connections will be added at the end of each dead-end driveway. These connections will be 16 feet wide, will have a complete road sub -base, a vegetative cover, and will be plowes in a manner so that 2 or 3 inches of snow will be left on the ground to protect the vegetation. Complete details on emergency road materials and proposed maintenance procedures should be submitted to and approved by both city manager and fire chief before final plat approval is granted. The concerns addressed in the city manager's memo, dated 8/18/81, must still be resolved. The easement to the adjacent property to the north for a possible public street connection must still be provided. 5) Farrell Warehouse The access drive has been shifted slightly to the east to prevent any conflict with the proposed South Burlington connector. There are no other major problems with this application. 6) Liu Applicant now owns approximately 15 acres on Highland Terrace. He plans to buy 5 acres of rear land from a large parcel owned by Smart Associates, and then to subdivide into 2 long "bowling alleys" lots. Length to width ratio will well exceed the 5 to 1 standard of Section 402 of the subdivision regulations. L.T.H.

PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 25, 1981 Under current zoning, the land can support two residences. The balance of the land can be added to one lot. If it stays separate, the density of the land would have been used up and the land would have to be reserved at least until the zoning is changed, and perhaps beyond that. Mr. Mona noted that if the land were divided into small lots, the potential existed for those small lots to eventually become industrial. The choices here seemed to be: one small lot and one largelot, two lots about the same size, or two small lots with reserved open land. Mr. Spitz said the authority to subdivide into two small lots here came from the low density provisions in the agricultural section of the zoning. Messrs. Ewing and Poger favored one small and one large lot. Mr. Mona sugYested having them stay on the edge of the agricultural zone instead of penetrating into what will become the industrial zone. They would be one behind the other. Mrs. Rye said she wanted to sell the old home and build a new one. She wanted the large chunk of land to go with the new home. Application by LTH Associates for preliminary plat approval of a 20 unit planned unit development on Williston Road, Victory Drive and Helen Avenue Mr. Spitz said a letter had been submitted from Jane & Steve Goodman concerning traffic and drainage problems (copy on file with planner). Mr. Krebs said the proposal was to come off Helen Avenue and have a circular arrangement for the 20 units. In regard to drainage, he noted that;, -the state would not allow any water to come off the property faster thanAdoes now, so they will have a retention pond, which he said would be landscaped. Mr. Krebs believed that drainage from this area eventually wound up behind the Grand Union in the Williston Road area. Yr. Reg Ploof, a resident of the area, said drainage from this lot ran under three homes, through corrugated pipe which is 3/4 filled with muck. It eventually runs to Cottage Grove Avenue, into a ditch which he said was pretty near full recently. Mr. Spitz felt the ditch was working ia8il. Mr. Ploof said he had not been sent a notice of this meeting, but Mr. toger said it was a Planning Commission custom, not a city or state requirement, to list every abuttor in the newspaper warning. Mr. Spitz said 20 neighbors had been warned, but Mr. Ploof had inadvertently been emitted. Mr. Ploof felt he would be cut off from his house during construction and he asked for compensation for it. Mr. Krebs could not guarantee that Mr. Ploof would be able to get back and forth from his house without problems, but said he felt the sewer work could be mostly done in one day. Mr. Howard Slack said his property was next to this. The water table in the area has been disturbed, he said, and he gets water in his cellar. He wanted to be sure he would get no more water in his cellar than he has now. Mr. Poger said the applicant's drainage plans would be reviewed by the city engineer and also, later in the process, by a state engineer. Mr. Spitz noted that in the last large development before the Commission, there had been a dialogue between the developer and the neighbors about questions like this. It was noted that the neighbors here could do what those neighbors had done, and hire their own engineer to review the drainage plans. Mr. James Thibeault said he felt the covenants in the area would be violated by this and was told the city did not get involved with covenants. 'r 4. PLAr,NING COMMISSION AUGUST 25, 1981 Mr. Thibeault warned the developer that the neighbors would take the covenant issue to court. Mr. Kimel asked about a traffic study and expressed concern about drainage. Mr. Poger said that at sketch plan the Commission had felt that it did not want access off Williston Road, which is heavily traveled. The added turning movements which would be created here would be bad for the road, especially since this is so close to Victory Drive. Mr. Kimel felt the development would double or triple traffic in the area. Mr. Spitz said actual counts in the area could be taken and an estimate of what kind of traffic the development would generate could be made. Mr. Kimel did not want this kind of development in the middle of an area of single family homes. Mr. Larkin was asked what kind of units these would be and said they would be two -bedroom apartments, renting for about 4450 per month. An area resident stated that the neighbors would prefer to have owned, not rented units, in their midst. Mr. Sanborn was concerned that there was only one entrance here, but was told that with 50 units or more a second entrance is required. Mr. Mona wanted to review the minutes of the discussion regarding one entrance or two. Mr. Poger read the fire chief's letter on this proposal. Mr. Kimel expressed concern for esthetics and compatibility. The possibility of regarning because of the omission of Mr. Ploof's notice was discussed. lax. Ploof wanted to wait a month until the next hearing because he had not had a vacation in 5 years and he said he might take one. Mr. Spitz apologized for the omission, but noted that virtually all the abuttors had been notified and said he felt a 2 week continuation was appropriate considering what had actually happened tonight. An audience member asked if it was normal for the city engineer to call neighbors to discuss drainage problems. He was told it was not, but that the neighbors could call the engineer. yr. Woolery moved to continue the preliminary plat application of LT_H_ Associates for a 20 unit PUD on Williston :load, Victory Drive and Helen Avenue until September 8 at 7:30 pm at City Hall. Mr. Ewing seconded the motion and all voted aye. Site plan application by Farrell Distributing Corporation for a 30,000 sq. ft. addition to an existing warehouse on Holmes Road Because the hour was late, Mr. Lamphere was asked if he would mind a continuation of this item. He said that would be all right. Mr. Ewing moved to continue the site plan application byFarrell Distributing; Corporation until two weeks from tonight at 7:30 pm at City Hall. Mr. Woolery seconded the motion and all voted for it. Application b Rid ewood Estates Development, Inc for revised final plat approval of Phase III units of Ridgewood --states Mr. Poger noted that the Commission had received a letter from the fire chief on the proposal (dated August 14 and on file with the planner). He does not feel he can give protection to these buildings as they are presently laid out. Mr. Page showed the previously approved plan, which included 13 single family lots. Those have been eliminated. 14. Victory Drive South Burlington, VT 05401 August 20, 1981 Mr. Sidney Poger, Chairman South Burlington Planning Commission South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Mr. Poger: Since we will be unable to attend the Public Hearing on August 25,1981 we would like to voice our concern regarding the LTH Associatest Proposal to build a 20�unit development entitled Rebecca Square adjacent to Victory Drive. !ten r"3 of the protective covenants of Suburban Acres states that : " no building shall be erected, maintained or placed upon argv lot, other than one detached single family dwelling unit not exceeding two stories in height...." In our eyes, the LTFI proposal is in direct violation of this covenant. Additionally, as parents of a young child we are concerned that the extra traffic whimh such a development would necessarily bring will constitute a serious danger to our child as well as to other children in the neighborhood. We purchased our home largely because of the light traffic flow on Victory Drive as well as the stipulation that this area is to be used for single family dwellings only. Consequently we are, frankly, appalled ty such a proposal. Needless to say, there are marry other concerns involved such as the questionalle tolerance of the sewer system to such additional demands, etc. We sincerely hope that the members of the planning commission will be mindful of the protective covenants and sympathetic to our plight as if they were in the same situation. Please, hear the voices of the concerned citizens, residents of this area, who you represent and those who rely heavily on you for protection of their stated rights as homeowners in Suburban Acres. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Jane and Leven Goodman DHS 8/25/81 MOTION OF APPROVAL For the Preliminary Plat application of LTH Associates for a 20-unit planned residential development with access to Helen Avenue, as depicted on a plan entitled "Site Plan, Rebecca Square" prepared by Krebs & Lansing Consulting Engineers, dated July 1981: Stipulations: 1) Rights -of -way agreements shall be made with the existing landowners having access onto Helen Avenue. 2) The curb opening on Victory Drive shall be closed. 3) A drainage plan, including upstream and downstream impacts, shall be sub- mitted for final plat review. 4) Internal walkways and curbs shall be shown. 5) Fire protection and water details and legal documents shall be submitted for final plat review. `�Dlti� �urltrigtvri �irP �P�tt1`�mPttt 575 Dorset #treet *out4 Nurtington, Vermont 95401 Mr. Sidney Poger Chairman South Burlington Planning Commission S7S Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont OS401 Dear Mr. Poger, q A OFFICE OF JAMES W.

Members Present Sidney Poger, Chairman; Peter Jacob, Ernest Levesque, George Mona, James Ewing, Robert Walsh Member Absent Kirk Woolery Others Present David Spitz, Planner; Doug Schner, William Wessel, Richard Mixer, Richard Posey, Jr., Carl & Anna Lavallee, Joseph Zajchowski. Paul Godend, MM Gordon Bassett, Ann Mayo, Robert Perry, Paul Husk, Harold Brown, Spencer & Nancy Baker, Robert Krebs, John Larkin, Byron Hills Minutes of May 5. 1981 On page 6, the words "just as good as 10 acre lots, as we have it zoned now" should be added after the words "farms or open land but" on the third line. The "w" in "we" should also be capitalized. Mr. Mona said he did not think the Commission would be making matters worse. Mr. Ewing moved to approve the May 5. 1981 minutes as corrected and Mr. Jacob seconded the motion, which carried with Mr. Walsh abstaining. Application by LTH Associates for sketch plan review of a 21-unit clustered residential development on land previously owned by Victory on Williston Rd Mr. Spitz said the plan was virtually identical to the one previously presented by Mr. Ying Liu. Mr. Krebs represented LTH and said the area was zoned R4 and that 20 units were proposed for the 5.26 acre parcel which contains an existing house now. Access is proposed from Helen Avenue. The units will be 18' z 36' with attached garages. Mr. Krebs said these were tentative plans. There will be 2 parking spaces per unit and utilities are available. Mr. Krebs said there was a concern about storm water from the city engineer and he noted that there was one problem area behind some of the units. Mr. Spitz said the fire chief had no problems with the plan, but Mr. Mona asked that he be consulted again in light of the recent fire in one of the condominium projects in the city. Mr. Poger wanted to be sure there would be no additional development of or selling off of land here unless the zoning were changed in the fixture. He asked whether access to the existing house would still be from Williston Road and was told it probably would be. Mr. Poger said the final plat should show that access. Mr. Spitz noted that the city engineer's concerns with drainage were off -site as well as on -site and he noted that on a previous subdivision in this general area an open ditch instead of piping for the water had been required. Mr. Ewing sue ested looking into the possibility of running storm water to Williston Road. It was noted that if this were not done and the water went into the stream, it probably would not be allowed to pipe it. PLAi�'NINC COMMI:»ION' 2. MAY 12, 1981 It was noted that if access from the existing house to Williston Road remained in place, a shortcut might develop there and it would be better if there were a barrier to stop that kind of traffic. A second access was discussed. Mr. Ewing did not feel it was necessary for this size project and Mr. Spitz added that the standard was 2 accesses when 5U units were built. The paved portion of the road will be 24' wide and there will be at least 2 parking spaces per unit. It was noted that sometimes garages were used for storage of everything except cars and perhaps more parking spaces were needed. A gravel area with screening was mentioned for campers, boats, etc. Mr. Spitz was asked to check on whether the large piece of land mentioned as sold to NCR actually had been sold to them. Mr. Mona mentioned putting parking next to the NCR line. The building and parking lot configuration could be flipped over and then there would be expandable space for parking if it were needed. Mr. Levesque recommended screening of the parking and on the road curve going north. The Commission did not want car headlights shining into the back of existing homes in the area unnecessarily. Mr. Walsh thought trees were to be planted on the major part of the lot. _Requpst by ,youth Burlington Realty Corporation for clarification of requirements for right-of-way widths and setbacks for the Corporate Circle development Mr. Spitz said there had been no stipulation regarding this issue on the preliminary plat approval, just a suggestion about right of way and setback. The applicant wants a clarification, however. Mr. Spitz suggested an 80' right of way for the Dorset -Hinesburg connector at least and said he would not object to such a right of way on the other street also. He said that someday the road would be 4 lanes wide and he felt the 80' right of way should be obtained now. He added that someday Hinesburg Road would be upgraded also and there might be a new Interstate interchange near the new industrial land in the Quadrant. ,sir. Levesque did not feel an 80' right of way was necessary on a road less than 112 mile long. Mr. Yoeer noted that the items to be decided were the right of way width and the greater right of way but smaller setback. He said that here the city was asking for the maximum right of way so the buildings could be closer to the right of way with parking behind them. The other alternative is a smaller right of way with a 75' setback. Mr. Mona asked the distance from the center of the right of way to the setback under old and new plans. He was told that on the old plan from the center to the edge would be 30' and then 75' would be added before a building could be put up (total of 105')• The new plan calls for 40' from the center and then 40' to the building (total of 80'). With the 50i4 front yard green area, it will be hard to put much parking in front with a 40' setback. The green area is 50p of the 75' times the width of the lot. Mr. Schner said he had talked to traffic engineers and they were not sure whether 80' right of,way was necessary. Mr. ipitz said he was talking about 4 121 lanes plus about 5' separation each side between the road and the sidewalk and 5' sidewalks both sides, for a total of 681. 5', however, is smaller than the city would like for the separation. Mr. Schner said the same thing could be accomplished with a 70' right of way and a large green strip, since there would still be a 160' width in there with 2 40' setbacks. MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Planning Commission Frcm: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 5/8/81 2) LTH Associates This sketch plan for the 5 acre balance of the Victory property is virtually identical to that proposed by Ying Liu last October. 3) Corporate Circle Applicant has requested formal designation of required street right-of-way widths and front setbacks. My recommendation is still to provide an 80 foot r-o-w, at least for the Hinesburg -Dorset connector, to allow for a potential 4 lane roadway. In addition, 40 foot front setbacks should be satisfactory for aesthetic and other purposes. 4) Dr. Brown Location of the street serving this development is still very much up in the air. Applicant will be presenting 2 alternatives, one with the entrance on Shunpike Road immediately adjacent to the Lavallee property (same as shown on sketch plan), and one with the entrance on Williston Road between Dr. Brown's buildings and Pj's Auto Village. The problems with various entrances are as follows: (a) Shunpike Road (applicant's first proposal). Residents do not want truck traffic on any portion of Shunpike Road. Entrance location is directly across from residences and also immediately adjacent to one residence. (b) Relocated Shunpike Road (closer to Williston Road my Proposal) There will still be truck traffic on a small portion of Shunpike Road. Front corner would have to be retained with Dr. Brown's buildings and could not b0 dcweloped as a separate lot. *TPW street unuld be approximately 100-150 feet longer than first Shun- pike Road option. (c) Williston Road (applicant's secondProposal) Entrance would be in the middle of a fairly sharp curve. Sight distance needs to be checked. If the barn is not taken down it will either be within the proposed r-o-w or will have an insufficient setback. Road as shown crosses a CO district. Also, it makes subdivision of large, rear lot difficult unless long, narrow lots are created. One lot would still probably need to have access from Shunpike Road.

Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 8/20/82 2) Kiley This is a simple shifting of existing lot lines with no new buildings lots being created. I see no problems with the application. 3) V.L. Properties, Dorset Street Building layout and circulation patterns have not been changed since the sketch plan presentation. Before doing any redesign work, the applicant wishes to review traffic implications of the entire project. However, as of this writing I have not received the applicant's required traffic report. If the report is not submitted and/or if there is insufficient time for my review, I will recommend that the hearing be delayed. 4) ebecca Square STREETS AND ACCESS: As previously approved, access from Helen Avenue will be via a cul-de-sac street built to City standards and access from Williston Road will be along the one -existing curb cut. The one unresolved question concerns access for the existing house on lot-6. I see no reason to change the existing access onto Williston Road. Traffic to and from this lot will have minimal impact on Williston Road, and a change in access would be inconvenient for the existing house layout. There was also previous discussion on a 4-way stop sign at Helen Avenue and Victory Drive. This would be feasible and can be installed, if deemed necessary, by the City. SIDEWALK: The normally required sidewalk is approximately 450 feet long. It is possible to build an "equivalent" sidewalk along the existing section of Helen Avenue between Victory Drive and Suburban Square (250 feet). However, this would not significantly improve ped- estrian travel through the area. If a developer is required to build a sidewalk, I feel it should be allowed to benefit the houses in that development (see enclosure). LOT LAYOUT AND USES: The only change in layout since preliminary plat is that the other Victory lot (now owned by LTH Associates) has been shortened and the extra land has been added to Lot 10. This change was at my recommendation since the additional land is not needed for the front lot (15,000 square feet remain) and since that area can aid in flexibility of design for any residential development on Lot 10. Memorandum Next week's agenda items 8/20/82 Page 2 Lot 10 is now 98,384 square feet (24 acres). By itself, this would allow 9 units. In combination with the single-family lots, total acreage for the development would permit 12 units on lot 10. The Planning Commission must determine the amount to be allowed in a future application. Language restricting commercial use is being prepared and should be ready by Tuesday's meeting. WATER AND SEWER: I am aware of no issues regarding these items. Sewer capacity is still available, though dwindling. STORM DRAINAGE: Both the applicant's engineer and the City Manager feel that the proposed drainage system, which will redirect a consider- able amount of water to Williston Road, will significantly improve existing drainage problems to the west of this development. RECREATION: A recreation fee, based on total number of approved units, will be calculated. LEGALS: Legal documents have not been submitted and approved yet. More progress is needed before final approval should be granted. 5) Bartlett Propert Layout is essentially the same as the sketch plan presentation. Lot 2 still has a "handle" on to the new road because of the applicant's desire for a sign at that location. The original applicant for development on lot 2 has withdrawn due to problems of access and topography on the lot. I wish to discuss the reasons and the possible implications for the proposed subdivision layout more fully at the meeting. Possible future curb cuts should also be noted (see enclosure). The need for a sidewalk on this side of the commercial road should be considered at this time. 6) Lindenwood Inn Application is for a 1360 square foot addition and use as a catering business and restaurant in addition to the existing 9-unit motel. A package of information on the proposed use is enclosed. The application is subject to a multiple use variance and will be reviewed by the Zoning Board on Monday night. Lot size is approximately 72,000 square feet. According to the proposed zoning, permitted peak hour hour trips for this size lot with sole access onto a secondary road with signalized access onto Shelburne Road is 54 trips. Based on my calculations of their projected business, normal week- day traffic would be well within the permitted range. Special business August 11, 1982 Robert Krebs Krebbs and Lansing Consulting Engineers 199 plain Street Winooski, Vermont 05404 Dear Bob, The LTH application for a residential subdivision entitled Rebecca Square on Williston Road has received preliminary plat approval from the South Burlmngton Planning commission. The approval covers the single-family lots and the proposed public street; details for the multi -family units must be approved. later. No office use is permitted in connection with this project. The proposed residential units in this project conform wit'^ the City's Comprehemsive Plan. Final subdivision details must still be re;_.olved at the final plat hearing. Sincerely, David fi. Spitz, City Planner DHS/mcg Gctober 9, 1980 Mr. Emery Victory 1516 Williston Road South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Emery, Plea.>e be advised that the City of South Burlington has not granted subdivision approval to allow the creation of either a 230 foot by 100 foot fronting directly on Williston Road or a 220 foot by 90 foot lot directly behind land occupied by National Cash Register on Williston Road. The City does not consider the sale of the remainder of your land with the omission of these two parcels to be legal. The purpose of this letter is to encourage you to include consideration of these two parcels in Mr. Liu's upcoming appli- cation on your land and to avoid any further transaction before that time. However, I would add that the creation of the latter parcel (behind National Cash Register) would be non-conforwing due to lack of any road frontage. That problem could be solved by selling the parcel either to Mr. "Liu with the balance of the land or to National Cash Register. I hope that these matters may be resolved smoothly and expediently through the subdivision process. Sincerely, David H.
