Objectives and Need for this Assistance The City of South Burlington covers approximately 109000 acres in the western part of Chi ttenden County. It is bounded on the northwest by Burlington, the state's largest city in Vermont. South Burlington has experienced rapid growth, as its population has increased 45% in the decade of 1960-1970 to over 10,000 people. The rapid growth is due to the city's proximity to Burlington, the location of a high employment industry in a neighboring community and its accessibility via major transportation modes such as an airport, Route 2, 7, Interstate 89 and mass transit. In the face of these urban pressures, changing land use, and expanding needs, the city has attempted to plan and control development and the use of land and water to ensure a quality environment. An updated comprehensive plan was adopted in 1974. This plan recognized the need to plan ahead for a variety of recreational needs, including to "acquire land for neighborhood parks to relieve congestion and provide recreation for young children in high density areas". The proposed project is located in one of the major residential neighborhoods of the city (see Map 1). Acquisition and develop- ment of this site has the potential to offer both active and passive types of recreation to the approximate 225 residents within walking distance of the proposed site. In addition, the implementation of this project will improve the living environment and thereupon positively influence the in- fastructure of the area which is so important to continued develop- ment of the city and region. Supporting documentation of consistency with other plans and studies would include the Update of SCORP - 73 and the CCRPC Regional Plan WE ARE NOT J"BE LAST GENERATION. 2. The preceding section of this narrative touched upon the need for neighborhood parks. In this portion of the city there is little available activity for the area has become heavily built up with residences. To be able to participate in recreation activity, the residents must travel to other areas of the city thereby expending time and energy. The benefit of a park in this portion of the city would be to: 1) provide a gathering place for the people, 2)improve upon recreational opportunities and 3) provide open space in a cluttered urban environment. 3 . APPROACH a. The first step will be a survey of the people living J mile of the site. This would allow a determination of how the people would like to see the area developed. Information of age groups, family and individual interests and potential facility use would help to determine to what extent people would like to see the area developed. It might turn out that people would prefer to see it remain open space as opposed to additional development on it.. We will take our cue from the potential users of the area. b. We would hope to do the survey in the fall or early winter of 1976 if funding is approved. Based upon survey results, plans would be developed for the site during the winter months and requests for funding would be made during the spring months, with development starting when funding was made available. d. ®William J.

Description of the Proposal A. The project is being proposed by the City of South Burlington, Vermont. B. The project entails the acquisition of a site of approximately 12.6 acres (vacant land) for a neighborhood park. C. Acquisition of this project will provide a neighborhood park for a populated residential area. Its primary purpose will be to serve the some 900 persons within walking distance (1/2 mile) . The general area is highly populated and there is a need to provide passive and active recreation for those residents. D. Acquisition of the site will occur upon confirmation of funding. A recreation survey developed by the City Recreation Department will be used to deter- mine the most suitable and appropriate facilities that should be developed on the site. E. The subject parcel is located in the northwest portion of the city and contains approximately 12.6 acres. Major landmark points include Kirby Road to the north, Patchen Road to the west and Clover Street to the south. The property is in the shape of a peninsula extending from Duval Street with approximately 8 acres of level land and 4.6 acres of gully surrouding on three sides. The parcel is vacant and generally lightly wooded with sandy soil. Surrounding land use is principally residential. F. The project is being coordinated through the City Manager's Office and will be adminstered by the Recreation Department of the city. It is the respon- sibility of this department for developing recreation programs for the city. G. The completion of this project is in keeping with implements and the Chittenden County Regional Plan Recreation and Open Space Goals and Policies. In addition, the project implements the philosophy of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan . a 2. Description of the Environment A. At the present time the site contains no structures. It is an open field surrounded primarily by residential land use. B. See Exhibit 1. for proposed land use and Exhibit 2 for zoning map. C . See Exhibit 3 topography map. D. The special topographic features of the site involve the gully surrounding the site. As stated previously, this land characteristic makes up about 4.6 acres of the site and will receive due consideration when the site is developed. E. South Burlington has developed quickly as a suburban community. Between 1960 and 1970 the city grew 45% in population. Concurrent with this residential growth has been a similar increase in commercial development as a spillover from Burlington. In the 3 yearn from 1970 to 1973 the commercial fair market value of the grand l i.st has almost doubled in value. In the immediate area of the proposed site there are approximately 900 persons, and in that the area is zoned for 7 units per acre it is probable that this figure will increase the 1974 Comprehensive Plan for the City identified various population projections for the city ranging between 11 , 310 to about 15,000 for the year 1.980. The future economic outlook for the city is further development of the airport and an industrial park along with continued growth of commercial trade. F. The Vermont Geological Survey 1.973, identifies Lacustrine, Marine Sands, and Gravel for the area. These are predominantly sand and pebbly sand well drained above the water table. Bedrock identification is that of Dolomite/ Marble. This material is less suseptible to chemical weathering than limestone but solution weathering is active along fractures. This is also more resistant to physical weathering and erosion than limestone. There is no commercial value for mining of minerals from the site. G. See Exhibit 4. H. See Exhibit S. I. The City of South Burlington has its own water department and is supplied through the Champlain Water District with Lake Champlain as the source and thus this project would not impact upon a recharge area used for a drinking water source. The area is not subject to flooding. J. The vegetation is largely comprised of pitch nines, birches, red oaks and other decidious species of trees and shrubs. The majority of the birch trees are located in or on the banks of the ravines which cover 3 sides of the property. The pines are found in the more open and sandy areas. Many red oaks, pim cherries and scrub bushes are found thrgughout the area. There are no endangered or unusual species in this area. Much of the land seems untouched although there are footpaths through the area. There is almost no litter which makes the entire site esthetically pleasing. K. There appears to be very little fauna and no wildlife as such. There are various birds, squirrels and rabbits but no rare or endangered species. L. The proposed site has access to it from Duval Street which is a resi- dential street ending in a cul de sac. A maze of local streets serving this residential sector of the city interconnect to provide ease of access to the site. In addition, Patchen RDad and Airport Parkway, two collector streets, intercept this maze of residential streets, thus facilitating access from other areas of the city, M. Funds for acquisition of this parcel have been requested because there is a need in the community to provide additional recreational facilities for the residents of the community, in particular, the immediate neighborhood. If this project is not realized, the quality of life for residents of an urban environment will be dimminished, in addition, the recreation needs will not be met,as planned for in the city's comprehensive plan. 3. Environmental Impact of Proposed Action A. The site in question is not in the National Register of Historic places, nor does it have any state or local significance as an historic place. B. As mentioned previously, the surrounding land use is primarily residential. The realization of this project will provide a needed neighborhood park for a dense residential area of the city and improve the environment for the people there. C. The implementation of this project will improve the quality of life for the residents of the city. This project is geographically located in an area zoned for four dwelling units per acre, a major portion of this residential development has already centered there. Acquisition of this park could provide a facility to draw people together and, in addition, relieve con- gestion and provide recreation for young children in a high density neigh- borhood. This proposed acquisition displaces no persons nor demolishes any structures since the site is presently an unoccupied open field. The acquisition will require no additional city services. In the future when the site is developed, the city will be able to assume the required services. The Comprehensive Plan and Zoning indicate a recreational use for the property, and provide ample areas for continued esidential, commercial and industrial growth in proper locations in the city, therefore this project does not interfere or hinder any economic development of the city. D. There will be no major sources of solid waste generated. E. The acquisition of the parcel will not affect the water resources, runoff sewer systems or rivers and streams. F. Use of the site after acquisition will have minimal affect on the vegetation in that the ravine contains considerable natural growth that would remain untouched , and the remaining flat areas would not involve major disturb- ance to-accomodate planned facilities. G. As stated previ,�usly there appears to be little fauna and no wildlife as such on the subject parcel. H. The parcel is intended primarily for neighborhood use but street capacity will not precipitate any hazardous conditions nor traffic congestion. a I. NA J. There will be no adverse affect on air quality nor will there be any sub- stantial increase in the ambient noise level. K. Management will be through the Recreation Department. 4. Mitigating Measures Included in the Proposed Action► Prior to any construction of this project, the City of South Burlington will work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, as well as the Vermont State Environmental Conservation Agency concerned with environmental quality within the State of Vermont. As indicated by the de- scription of the soils involved in this area, soil erosion does not appear to be a major concern. The Agency of Environmental Conservation, charged with air, noise and water pollution control will be consulted prior to any construction. 5. Adverse Environment Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided There will be no adverse environmental effects due to the implementation of this project. As mentioned previously, the implementation of this project will enhance the quality of life for the residents of the City of South Burlington. 6. Local Short -Term Uses Versus Long -Term Productivity This project is not a short term solution to community needs. It is a long term consideration. The acquisition and future development of this project will be an investment available for future generations to use. If this project is not implemented, the future living environment of the urbanized area will become even more congested and less people oriented. 7. Any Irreversible or Irretrievable Commitm-ent of Resources As mentioned in previous sections above, this commitment does not infringe upon; a) resource extraction; b) archeological, geological or historic sites; c) fragile habitats and endangered special species habitats. The soils do not lend themselves to erosion. 8. Alternatives to the Proposed Action The alternatives are: 1) implement the project as submitted; 2) modify the project; 3)?eject the project. 1)Fhis alternative of implementing the project as submitted has been proposed because of the special needs of the residents of the area as well, as the needs expressed by inventory and survey contained within the Vermont State Compre- hensive Plan dated 1973. It is the intent of this alternative to fulfill all of the needs as implied by the application. 2),There is little opportunity to modify the acquisition proposal other than reduce the size of the purchase. If this alternative were pursuaded the ability to develop facilitation, the site would be greatly diminshed. 3) If the no action alternative were chosen, it would deprive the residents of recreational activities in leisure time, induce additional development of more residential units thereby adding congestion and depriving young people of recreational opportunities in - high density urban neighborhoods. There is no adverse impact from this acquisition project. 9. Consultation and Coordination The citizens of the City of South Burlington have by referendum vote of the people, authorized the appropriation of the necessary local matching fends for acquisition of this project. The citizenry has also,through the Comprehensive Plan, had input into planning for this project. The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission has been consulted and has assisted with development of this proposal. Projected to be accomplished in the fall is a survey of the residents to determine facility needs and requirements. There is not now, nor is there anticipated to be any controversey likely to manifest itself. 4 PROPOSED LAND USE 'I.4e rrApm' amfj_-S �F-L�) 0 -Recreation, Conservation, Open Space Business ® Industrial 0 Residential, Low Density Residential, Moderate Density Residential, High Density C� Agricultural & Rural Residential Public & Quasi -Public C� Airport Approach No Text No Text . .... !

This body of water along with the Adirondack Mountains to the west and the beginnings of the Green Mountains ten miles to the east gives Chtttenden Couritt-y climate characteristics of New England. Winters in Vermont bc;gin "arly with snow and cold temperatures, often in November, and stretch through firial.ly giving away to spring and warmer tem- peratures in March. During t.1 , winter months, the average temperature..- ranges r between 0 and 32 degrees. (See Exhibit #1) Lake Champlain, even during the winter months, creates a direct influence on the weather in the County. Temp- eratures around the shore tend to be about 5 to 10 degrees higher than inland. Temperatures get gradually colder as one moves into the higher elevations. The mountains, which forma natural barrier, gives Burlington the dubious reputation of being one of the cloudiest cities in the United States. In spite of this cloudy weather, the area has one of jhe highest percentages of flying weather in New England.. The mountains also e:4 rt an influence on the amount of snowfall annually. In 1970-71, a record 1,15.4 inches of snow fell in the Burlington ` area., (See Exhibit #3) Winter begins to break towards the end of February and gives way to slightly ,warmer. weather. Spring showers provide an ample amount of precipitation aiding the agriculture of the County, (See Exhibit 42) 12- Pleasant weather in the County enters with summers as cool breezes off the lake gives Burlington a temperate climate. On the average, there are only nine days a year with a maximum temperature of 90 degrees or higher. (See Exhibit #1 on' page 14.) For the most part, the average temperature during the summer months is approximately 76.7 degrees. Thunderstorms occasionally occur as a direct result of rising air currents from the lake meeting the warm air masses from the south.

DATED Attachment 1 (Dec. 1965) to Form BOR 8-92 STATE OF VERMONT Agency of Environmental Conservation )T=, CITY, City of South Burlington, Vermont AutnWlzed OfficiU- William J. Szymanski, City Manager INT: 4806-.75 3. The State shall use any funds received by way of advance payment from the United States under the terms of this agreement solely for the project or project stage herein described. 4. Interest earned on funds granted pursuant to this agreement shall not be available for expenditure by the State, but shall be disposed of according to instructions issued by the Director. 5. Because one of the basic objectives of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act is to enhance and increase the Nation's outdoor recreation resources, it is the intent of the parties hereto that recipients of assistance will use moneys granted hereunder for the purposes of this program, and that assist-�,nce granted From the Fund will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the Federal cost-ehare, in a participant's outdoor recreation. It is intended by both parties hereto that assistance from the Fund will be added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and local outdoor recreation funds. E. Project Termination 1. The State may unilaterally rescind this agreement at any time prior to the commencement of the project. After project commencement, this agreement may be rescinded, modified, or amended only by mutual agreement. A project shall be deemed commenced when the State makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation with respect to the project. 2. Failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement or any similar agreement may be cause for the suspension of all obligations of the United States hereunder. 3. Failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement shall not be cause for the suspension of all obligations of the United States hereunder if; in the judgment of the Director,''such failure was due to no fault of the State. In such case, any amount required to settle at minimum costs any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for assistance under this agreement. 4. Because the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quantity and quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the people of the State and of the United States, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertain able extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement, the State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement. The State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement. F. Conflict of Interests 1. No official or employee of the State who is authorized in his official capacity to negotiate, make, accept, or approve, or to take part in such decisions regarding a contract or subcontract in connection with this project shall have any financial or other personal interest in any such contract or subcontrac 2. No person performing services for the State in connection with this project shall have a financial or other personal interest other than his employment or retention by the State, in any contract or subcontract in connection with this project. No officer or employee of such person retained by the State shall have any financial or other personal interest in any real property acquired for this project unless such interest is openly disclosed upon the public records of the State, and such officer, employee or person has not participated in the acquisition for or on behalf of the State. 3. No member of or delegate to Congress shall be admitted to any share or part of this agreement, or to any benefit to arise hereupon, unless such benefit shall be in the form of an agreement made with a corporation for its general benefit. 4. The State shall be responsible for enforcing the above conflict of interest provisions. G. Hatch Act No officer or employee of the State whose principal employment is in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part pursuant to this agreement shall take part in any of the political activity proscribed in the Hatch Political Activity Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 118k (1964), with the exceptions therein enumerated. Financial Records 1. The State shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents, and records, and shall make them available to the BOR, the Department of -the Interior, and to the General Accounting Office for auditing at reasonable times. Such accounts, documents, and records shall be retained by the State for three years following project termination.
