Please be sure someone is present on Tuesday, September 29, 1992 at 7:30 P.M. to represent your request. If you have any questions, please give me a call. jJLcerely e Weith, ity Planner Encls JW/mcp Memorandum - Planning September 29, 1992 agenda items September 25, 1992 Page 2 a Traffic: This property is in Traffic Overlay Zone 5 which allows this property to generate a maximum of 194.5 vehicle trip ends (vte's) during the P.M. peak hour. There is no I.T.E. code that fits the proposed use. The applicant has provided traffic counts for two (2) stores in the Burlington area. These counts indicate that during the P.M. peak hour there would be approximately 35 vte's. I.T.E. estimates the office use to generate 7 vte's for a total of 42 vte's for the project. Lighting: All exterior lighting is existing and consists of one (1) light on a 20 foot pole, one (1) light on a 14 foot pole (both of unknown wattage) and six (6) 250 watt building lights. Dumpster: One (1) screened dumpster will be provided. Sewer: No additional allocation necessary. Other: --- the Fire Chief has approved the location of the new fire hydrant. --- the plan should be revised to show the correct amount of office space to be rented. 3) NANCY PASCOE - DAY CARE CENTER - 62 EAST TERRACE This project consists of converting one (1) unit of a three (3) unit multi -family dwelling to a day care center serving no more than 12 children. The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a conditional use permit for this conversion on 9/14/92. This property at 62 East Terrace is located within the R4 District. It is bounded on the north by a soon to be developed single family lot, on the east by undeveloped land, on the south by a single family residence and on the west by East Terrace. Access/circulation: This lot is served by a circular driveway with two (2) 15 foot curb cuts on East Terrace. No changes will be made to the access. 2 Memorandum - September 29, September 25, Page 3 Planning 1992 agenda items 1992 Circulation is adequate. Applicant proposes that traffic enter the property at the southerly curb cut and exit at the northerly curb cut thereby creating a one-way traffic flow around the property. There are two (2) gates on the property which will be closed between 10-11 A.M. and 3-4 P.M. during outside play which will interrupt traffic circulation. Applicant notes that the gates will not be closed during drop-off and pick -up times. To assure that the proper traffic flow is maintained, it is recommended that small and unobtrusive enter and exit signs be posted. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 6.4% (maximum allowed is 20%). Overall coverage is 28.2% (maximum allowed is 40%). Parking: This site requires a total of seven (7) parking spaces and the plan shows nine (9) spaces. Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement for this project. Sewer: There is no sewer allocation necessary since the unit being converted had two (2) bedrooms which required more sewer allocation than the proposed day care center. 4) L&M PARK- MULTI -FAMILY REVISIONS - REVISED FINAL PLAT This project consist of the reduction in the number of multi -family buildings from seven (7) to five (5). The number of dwelling units will remain at 150. The applicant received a conditional use permit from the Zoning Board of Adjustment on 9/14/92. The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan on 8/25/92 (minutes enclosed). This property located in the rear of the L&M Park site is within the Cl zone. It is bounded on the north by undeveloped lands owned by Pomerleau, on the east by an auto dealership and the commercial portion of L&M Park, on the south by undeveloped land owned by Farrell and on the west by railroad tracks owned by Vermont Railway. 3 M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J.

On 11/11/86 the Planning Commission approved a landscaping plan with a condition that the applicant either donate $7500 for the acquisition of open space land or install $9,000 in landscaping. It does not appear that this condition was met, there is no record of a $7500 donation and the plantings have not been installed. This condition must therefore be met prior to the issuance of a zoning/building permit for this change in use. NANCY PASCOE - DAY CARE CENTER - 62 EAST TERRACE --- applicant should show where parents will drop-off children. --- explain under what circumstances and during what times will the gates be closed. --- indicate parking to be used by employees. --- indicate number of bedrooms in apartment to be used for the day care center.

Mary -Barbara Maher, Chairman; James McClary, William Burgess, John Belter, Judith Hurd, John Dooley, Peter Jacob Others Present: James Lamphere, Randy Echo, B. Vincent, Lowell Krassner, Rocky Claybourne, David DeSarno; Jane Bechtel, City Planner Since Mr. Szymanski notified the Commission that he could not attend this meeting, the first item on the agenda, a discussion with Wagner, Heindel and Noyes about erosion in Bartlett Bay was postponed. Minutes of 23 July 1985 Mr. Jacob moved that the Minutes of 23 July be approved as printed. Mrs. Hurd seconded, and the motion passed 3-0 with 2 abstentions. Continue Discussion of Sketch Plan for conversion of a 2-family dwelling to a4-unit multi -family dwelling at 67 EastTerrace Ms. Bechtel noted that the City Attorney has verified that the project qualifies as a subdivision. He has further agreed that the Commission could rule it a minor Subdivision as it a) is a conversion of an existing structure; b) requires no new streets or public facilities; and c) will have no increase in building footprint. This will allow the Planning Commission to have only 1 public hearing. Mr. Jacob remembered that 4 or 5 years ago a subdivision into 2 lots was denied, and Ms. Bechtel noted that a subdivision across the street was also denied because it was zoned commercial and the request was for residential use. Randy Echo, agent for the building, outlined the proposed units on the plan. He was unsure exactly where the 4th unit will be located. There will be 7 parking spaces divided into a 3-space and a 4-space area. There is plenty of turn -around space. All units will be rentals and there are no plans for condos. Mr. Burgess stressed that the building footprint cannot change with the location of the 4th unit. Mr. Echo said he understood that each unit must be at least 850 sq. ft. There is already plenty of landscaping which will be shown on the final plan. Public hearing on the project will be at the 17 September meeting. PLANNING COMMISSION 17 SEPTEMBER 1985 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 17 September 1985, at 7:30 pm, in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present Mary -Barbara Maher, Chairman; James McClary, Peter Jacob, Judith Hurd, William Burgess, John Belter, John Dooley Others Present Jane Lafleur, City Planner; Sidney Poger, The Other Paper; Janice Hills, Byron Hills, Dick Thompson, Gregory Premo, Alan Sousie, Royce Chambers, Gloria Chambers, Barbara Hamel, M. Hamel, Mary DeFarge, George DeFarge, Scott Tower, William Robenstein, Michael Kuhn, Ernest Ross, David Spitz, Webster Thompson, Michael Simoneau, Donald Ready, Michael Dugan, Ellen Walton, Wilbur Bull, James Sector, J. Chudwell, George Drabble, Reba Drabble, Charles Cannata Minutes of 10 September 1985 Mr. McClary moved that the Minutes of 10 September 1985 be approved as printed. Mr. Burgess seconded, and the motion passed 3-0 with Messrs. Jacob and Dooley abstaining. PUBLIC HEARING on request to change zoning of properties located at 3065 and 3069 Williston Rd. from R-4 to Ind-Com Mrs. Lafleur advised that the properties are at the corner of Williston Rd. & Shunpike Rd., extending 225 ft. into Shunpike Rd. The adjacent Ind-Com property is 145 ft. deep. Mr. Thompson noted that these 2 properties are the only ones on that side that are zoned residential. Mrs. Lafleur said there must be a 65 foot buffer between these properties and the residential property on Shunpike Rd. If the existing building were maintained, that would be grandfathered in. After a brief discussion, Mr. Dooley moved that the Planning Commission recommend the rezoning of the property located at 3065 and 3069 Williston Road from R-4 to Industrial - Commercial. Mr. Jacob seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: Final Plat application of R. Echo, argent, for conversion of a 2-family dwelling into a-4=family dwelling at 62 East Terrace Mrs. Lafleur noted there are at least 3 residences directly across from this property. Mr. Echo advised they have complied with the Fire Chief's request and widened the drive PLANNING COMMISSION 17 SEPTEMBER 1985 PAGE 2 from 10 ft. to 18 ft. and widened it in front to 24 feet in order to accommodate fire vehicles. Mr. Echo added that present landscaping seems more than adequate. Mr. McClary presented photos of this property and property across the street and said it looks like this landscaping has never been maintained. Mr. Echo said the hedges are high because the previous resident wanted privacy. Mrs. Lafleur confirmed that each of the 4 proposed apartments meets the square footage requirement. Members then discussed the proposed drive in front of the house and felt that area would look better with more green than paving or gravel. Mr. Hamel, a neighbor across the street agreed that a 24 foot drive would be too visible. He noted that several weeks ago there were several hundred cars on the street for a party in this house. He said he didn't feel it was right to take a piece of land in a residential neighborhood and make it into apartments. Mr. Souci added that people live on East Terrace because it's a quiet, peaceful place and he didn't want to see it become an ex- tension of the University campus. He was particularly con- cerned about parking, children's safety and the noise level and with the possibility that the cul-de-sac would be opened and the street would become a through street. Mr. Ewing said safety is a prime factor for his concern. He noted that 50 units on a dead end street was the maximum, and there are more than that on East Terrace now. He added that the building has 2 curb cuts, one of which is unsafe because of the grade. Mrs. Maher said she didn't see how the Commission could reject the plan, but they would try to make it as safe as possible. Mr. DeFarge asked if there are restrictions as to the number of people who can live in a house. Mr. McClary said that 5 unrelated adults can occupy a house provided they are not paying rent; if they are, it then becomes a boarding house. Mr. DeForge noted there are now 6 living in one of the apart- ments. Mr. Cannata, owner of the property, said he had just learned about the goings on at the building and this is a violation of the lease. He said he has no intention of building a university campus on East Terrace and will screen all applicants for the units. He apologized for what has been occurring and promised to visit the premisis immed- iately. He said he would like to rent to professional people and provide quality housing in a nice neighborhood. Mr. Sector questioned the gravel road at the left of the house and said it is not accessible in winter and the drive- way is very dangerous. Mr. Bull said the street has gone PLANNING COMMISSION 17 SEPTEMBER 1985 PAGE 3 downhill. Mrs. Stickney noted that lights from cars coming down the driveway shine into her second floor and this is very distracting. She felt the building has had a very negative impact of the neighborhood. Chief Goddette spoke regarding the drive and fire Icim'. He said the state requires 18 foot fire lanes and also a 30 foot area in which to place equipment. Mr. McClary asked if the 30-foot area could be in the back which would improve the look of the front. Mr. Echo said he thought safety should come before appearance. Mrs. Maher said there was obviously not a meeting of minds yet and directed the Planner and Fire Chief to work out a proposal with the owner and agent and return with that plan. Mr. Burgess moved that the public hearing be continued until the first meeting in October. Mrs. Hurd seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Consider site plan application of G.S. Blodgett for conversion of building to a warehouse/wholesale operation located at 75 Farrell Street Mr. Spitz advised there will be very few changes to the property, only interior renovations. The driveway will be expanded from 30 feet to 36 feet. A handicapped parking space will be added. They are adding a little parking in front. The truck loading area will be in back, and there will be a paved storage area surrounded by a 6 foot cyclone fence. They have revised landscaping to relocate two willows and, and a cedar screen, 6-8 feet high will completely screen the storage area. The Fire Chief is satisfied with accesses. Scott Tower, landscaper, advised there will be white ash along the street, about 40 feet apart. The 3 white pines by Cady's will remain. A low planting will be added by the retail entrance and sign. White pine will screen the loading area and back side.

There will be a total of 9 parking spaces. Curbs will be replaced per the City Manager's specifications, and the drive will be upgraded to a quality gravel road. Mrs. Holland of 55 East Terrace asked if there was consideration given to having one side of the street parking. Mr. Dooley said he didn't think that was the answer to the problems on that street but they could ask the Council to study the problem. Mr. Sector said he was concerned about the steep gravel slope PLANNING COMMISSION 8 OCTOBER PAGE 3 since his children play on the street. Mr. Echo said that when the property is upgraded, it will be a much safer road. He said they Lo-vi (J petition for signs saying there are children playing. Commission members suggested marking one side of the drive as an entrance and one as an exit. Mr. Chambers of 69 East Terrace said that it had been mentioned that there could be as many as 20 people in the building but there were only 9 parking spaces. Mrs. Maher asked that if it appears that 9 parking spaces aren't enough, can the developer just create more spaces. Mr. Cannata said he might designate only 2 parking spaces per unit. Mr. Sector asked if there was any way to provide landscaping that will be aesthetically pleasing as their house faces this property and they will be looking at 2 driveways. Mr. Cannata said he will look into the possibility of planting trees.

L1, Continue Public Hearing for Revised Final Plat of LTH, Inc., for revision of Cluster C & D of Harbor Heights to single family lots, Harbor View Rd. Mr. Krebs asked that only Cluster D be considered as revisions are being made to Cluster C. The water study indicates that this plan is an improvement over the previous + condo plan and will result in .8 cu. ft. per sec. of runoff over the undeveloped state. Wagner, Heindel & Noyes recommends a 7-10,000 holding basin; however, Mr. Krebs said there is no good place to put such a basin. He said they felt they were being punished for making things better. The Chairman polled the members, and a majority felt they wanted to continue the hearing to further consider this issue. Mrs. Hurd moved that the hearing be continued. Mr. Jacob seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 5, Consider revised Site Plan application of Tony Perry for Perry's Fish House (formerly Pappas' Restaurant) at 1080 Shelburne Road. Mr. Perry said he has negotiated previously for a foot print and parking plan but as they began to develop the property they wanted to make changes for aesthetic reasons. They have now taken out one curb cut so that they will have only one Shelburne (A curb cut which will be wider. Parking will be sufficient to accommodate the additions being made. They have moved the curb cut to line up with the one across the street. They propose to have plantings on berms in front and also an aesthetic pond. The Zoning Board has granted a variance for a deck. Total seating will be 265. Mrs. Lafleur noted that this plan considers Clausons as part of the whole lot. Mrs. Hurd noted that the Fire Chief wants the parking lot extended to get fire vehicles in. Mr. Perry said he would be willing to keep an access plowed in the rear of the buildings. He has a sprinkler system and the building is masonry with a steel roof.

It is on a 46,000 sq. ft. lot and now has one apartment in the house. The building is 3,000 sq. ft. The request is for a 3-unit building, the new units to include a 2-bedreom apartment and a 3-bedroom apartment. It is an R-4 zone, and this is a permitted use which involves no structural changes. All work will be internal division. Mr. Jacob noted that a similar request was turned down a few years age and asked that the City Planner review the previous action. Ms Bechtel will also research whether Commission approval is required. Mr. Jacob moved that the re uest be continued until the next meeting. Mr. D®o ey seconde and the mo ion passe unanimously. Consider sketch lan application of Bob & L nn Charlier for Park & F y usiness on lot& 3, Gregory Industrial Par Mr. Duncan explained that the project is part of the 6-lot sub- division on Gregory Drive. A reprographics business is going on lot #1. The proposed use would involve people parking their cars and being shuttled to and from the airport. The building would also house a minor service facility so parked cars could receive some routine service (oil change, washing, filter changes, etc.) while the owners were away. A $7,600 landscaping bone will be required. The applicant will provide lindens, crabapples, euonamus and also a cedar and lilac hedge. Mr. Gregory is re- sponsible for 6 Norway maples to be planted on Gregory Drive. Lighting will include lower lighting at the entrance and hither lighting over the parking area. The applicant questioned the City Engineer's request for concrete bumpers and felt there Were other ways to delineate parking spaces. Ms. Bechtel said she thought this was negotiable as Mr. Szymanski did not know the other lot would be unpaved and used mostly for employee cars.

M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Jane Bechtel Lafleur, City Planner \ Re: October 8, 1985 agenda items Date: October 4, 1985 2) E. ROSS, 329 DORSET STREET PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE IN DAYLIGHT HOURS, PRIOR TO MEETING. The applicant has prepared a revised plan showing the parking at the rear of the building rather than the front yard as originally proposed. The back yard is very small and has two very large trees that should not be removed for parking. The only alternative seems to be to park on the northerly side of the building, perpendicular to the street. The owner's car should either be parked in the garage or.if the garage is re- moved.4the garage area should be gravelled for his car. There will be a greater impact on the adjacent neighborhood if the modest back yard becomes a parking lot. Furthermore, the front yard can remain as it is to further lessen the impact of this use change. 3) PRIME PROPERTIES, EAST TERRACE' The applicant has removed the proposed front yard driveway and shows an expanded 24 foot circular driveway around the rear to meet Chief GoddettS°concerns. See Bill Szymanski's comments regarding the slope of the driveway. This is an improvement from the "parking lot" in the front. 4) LTH, HARBOR HEIGHTS, HARBOR VIEW ROAD I expect to receive an analysis from Wagner, Heindel and Noyse on erosion impact of this change from 30 multi -family units to 12 single-family lots. If it is not available, this item should be postponed until October 22, 1985. According to our regulations, (section 19.20) you may approve a lot with no road frontage if it meets the 20 foot minimum width, if there are no more than 3 lots served and if it is served by permanent legal arrangements. This revision is an improvement to the multi -family layout and provides a better transition between the single and multi -family units since the multi -family in Cluster A are separated by the conservation zone and cluster B is separated by the street.

The properties are owned by the Hills and the Thompson's and are zoned R4. The proposed change is for Industrial -Commercial. Both properties have 150 feet of frontage on Williston Road. They will be-grand-faf-herecl in for non -conforming frontages and in one case, less than the minimum lot size. The properties to the east (Roberts and Szymanski) are zoned I-C. The land across Williston Road and across Shunpike (Dr. Brown) is also zoned I-C. While the properties under consideration abut I-C and are across the road from I-C type uses, the area is still residential in nature. These two properties are the beginning of the R-4 Shunpike Road neighborhood. 3) 4-FAMILY CONVERSION, 62 EAST TERRACE The applicant proposes to convert the existing two-family structure to a 4-family building. Parking is adequate with 9 spaces (2 in the garage area under the house). A circular paved driveway surrounds the house. The property is served by City water and sewer. A 900 gpd sewer allocation will be needed and there is sufficient capacity to handle this. Existing landscaping is adequate and somewhat dense at the front of the property. Credit for existing landscaping should be granted. 4) BLODGETT SUPPLY COMPANY, FARRELL STREET The applicant proposes to convert the former Lakeside Tennis building to Blodgett Supply Company for warehousing/whole- saling. The area is now zoned C-2 and this is a conditional use. Access and Circulation: Access is through the existing drive- way that will be expanded to 36 feet in width. Circulation is adequate through the parkinq lot and into the loading area at the rear of the property. MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Planning Commission From; James W.

Mary-Barhar.a' Maher Chairman, South Burlington Planning Commission 4 r (06CEr" ............... -- ------ -- --- ---- --- - --- - ----- M E M O R A N D U M TO: South Burlington Planning Commission FROM: Jane S. Bechtel, City Planner RE: August 6th Agenda Items DATE: August 2, 1935 2) EAST TERRACE, MULTI -FAMILY CONVERSION The City Attorney has verified that this project qualifies as a subdivision. According to our regulations multi -family projects qualify as major subdivisions. Multi -family is defined as three or more families (units). Although the ordinance calls for this to be treated as a major subdivision, (2 Public Hearings), the City Attorney has agreed that the Commission could rule it a minor subdivision since it is a conversion of an existing structure, it requires no new streets or public facilities, and it will have no increase in the building foot print. This qualification will allowthe application to proceed with only one public hearing. The Commission should clearly state the reasons that this will be considered a minor subdivision in order to distinguish it from future multi -family developments that truly should be considered major subdivisions. There is no prior application for this lot in either the files or individual recollections. There was a proposed 4-unit DesLaurier Subdivision across the street that was denied by the Zoning Board in 1980. It was zoned C-1 at the time and a variance was needed for residential use. A sewer allocation will be needed for this 4-unit dwelling and will be charged the sewer fee. Nine parking spaces are required. Lanscaping should be shown for Final Plat. 3) PARK AND FLY The City has a $30,000 letter of credit from Mr. Gregory for the completion of the street and utlities. To date, the base is down. The letter of credit stated the street is to be completed by August 5, 1985. If it is not, we will act on the letter of credit. The stipulation of the Reprographics building on lot#1 required the street to be completed prior to occupancy. There is no reason not to act upon this site plan application as well in a similar fashion. 4) ROCKY'S CAR WASH Mr. Clayborne will be providing -traffic information prepared by Roger Dickinson of Fitzpartick-Llewellyn. (Enclosed) It was taken at the Essex Car Wash this past week. Erosion Control information is also expected. 5) NATIONAL CAR RENTAL, 344 DORSET STREET The applicant proposes to change the use of an existing building (formerly Climate Control) to a printing business and the National Car Rental business. The property is zoned C-2. The Zoning Board approved this for multiple uses.

He strongly feels this developer should handle any run-off from his site and should be required to build the tank, despite any conflicting recommendations. Since there is no direct relationship between this development and the major problem area in the North Brook, he does not want Mr. Larkin to contribute to any off -site improvement. All other issues have now been discussed and a motion should be entertained. 3) ZONE CHANGE REQUEST, 3065 AND 3069 WILLISTON ROAD The owners of 3065 and 3069 are requesting a zone change from R4 to Industrial Commercial. (see letter) The properties have frontage on Williston Road. All other properties on Williston Road in this area are zoned I-C. At the same time these properties are the beginning of the Shunpike Road residential neighborhood. While a zone change will produce a uniform Industrial Commercial District along Williston Road, it also brings Industrial -Commercial into the Shunpike Road residential neighborhood. 4) ECHO, 'EAST TERRACE ' �1 `t0'C,l,',3�ct`'• `''K1,�tal.'aq-..•'ti"' v The applicant proposes to subdivide, a 46,000 square foot lot into two lots of 20,000 square feet and 26,000 square feet. There is an existing two-family dwelling that is on the larger portion of the proposed subdivision. The frontage and lot sizes would permit 2 units, the smaller lot and a maximum of 4 units on the larger lot. 5) PARK & FLY, GREGORY INDUSTRIAL PARK, LOT #2 AND 3 The applicant proposes to use lots #2 and #3 for office use, minor auto service and short and long term parking for airport patrons. Mini -vans will transport customers to and from the Airport. The Zoning Board granted a conditional use permit for this use. The property is zoned Industrial -Commercial and abuts Reprographics, the Szymanski farm, and Gregory Drive.

It will fit in with the neighborhood. That street is very long and it was suggested that a lot of traffic on that end of the road would not be a good idea unless the cul-de-sac were o.:er.ed. It was determined that the existing house on the lot could be made a duplex and that there were two ct-.er lots on the street which could contain duplexes, for a total of 4 on the enti.-e street. hr. Jacob did not think that many would be built, because of the v_l-le of the land in that area. Mr. -roger did not want to see 4 duplexes at that end of the street. Site plan review, revised access, parking- and circulation for the former La-:e Champlain Motors buildinz, at the corner of Allen and Shelburne Roads Mr. Yichael Dugan said that the property had two existing curb cuts and that they would like to close both and put in a new 40' wide cut. They would also like to add 11 new parking spaces on the front of the property where the cars used to be displayed. Trey would also like a new rear access road on the north side next to the Bartlett property. This drive will be a dead-end and will be for access to the rear of the building. Yr. Dugan said they needed the extra spaces to market the building but it was pointed out that the site might have to have some revisions once a tenant went into the building. Mr. Mona said that building used to be a source of controversy in the area because the Commission limited the number of cars which could be displayed and that number was exceeded. It was suggested that the .minutes of the last hearings on the building be researched. Mr. Ewing did not think the Commission could approve the site plan until it knew what business was going into the building. The Commissionhad no problem with the access around the building or the revised curb cut. Kr. Page wanted to look at the grading for the access to the rear of the building, noting that some fill would be necessary and that there was not a lot of room between the edge of the pavement and the l.,ro;erty lire. Mr. Ewing moved to continue the hearing until 2 weeks from toniart,_ on October 23, 1979 at 7:30 Dm at City Hall. Xr. bona seconded the motion. It was suggested that the Fire Chief look at the plan.

PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 13, 1979 He replied that it could handle part of the Quadrant south of the Interstate to perhaps half way between the Interstate and the City line or a population of 19,000. Mr. Farrar suggested setting up sewer districts in the Quadrant and showing which districts would be sewered in which ways. The Commission felt that both bodies were working toward the same end, but using different words for it. Mr. Farrar felt there was enough land in the City for 5-15 years of growth without using much of the Quadrant. He asked if the Commission had discussed the concept of transfer of development rights. Mr. Poger felt that if that were done, the City should have some involvement in the action, so it could later have some control. The idea of having some commercial uses in residential complexes was discussed. Ifr. Farrar felt that the only people who would like that idea were the ones who did not live next to the use. Xr. Woolery said the use could be planned as part of the residential development and buffers could be used. Mr. Farrar felt that if the Commission really w anted commercial uses, it should show 2-3 specific areas for it in the Plan. Mr. Po er brought up the question of designation of a large parcel of land (100+ acres in the -quadrant for a park site. Mr. Woolery noted that the City had a list of proposed roads and said he would like to take more formal action to show proposed roads that are agreed upon. Some are on the Urban Systems map, some on a City map and some not on any map. Pfr. Farrar commented that no more roads could be added to Urban Systems without removing some. He felt roads should be added to a City map. Sidewalks were discussed, with Mr. Woolery commenting that Ms. Levesque, alas, not present to speak for himself, wanted to see a City sidewalk plan showing existing and proposed sidewalk links in the City. Children on Barrett Street, who can see the school, do not walk to school because of an area without sidewalks. It was felt that the School Board should be involved in working up or approving any such plan and that the Planner and City Manager should discuss such a plan. It can later become part of the Transportation Chapter of the Plan. Mr. Jacob asked if the City could hire an additional person to give the Planner and City Manager the help they need. The Commission feels strongly that additional help is needed in City Hall. Mr. Farrar noted that population figures calculated from people per unit and school population figures did not match. Mr. Woolery said the schools did not use 3.2 people per unit any longer. The Southern Connector was discussed next. Kr. Farrar showed the Commission the plan the Citizen's Committee approved for submission to the Council. A few questions have been sent to the highway Department(see Council 11/5 minutes). Re,-ular meeting - Minutes of November 6. 1979 Mr. Mona arrived at this point. i"r. Jacob moved to approve the November 6. 1979 minutes and Mr. aoolery seconded. All voted aye. Public hearin on final plat a-% lication of Wallace and Margaret Blanchard for a 1 lot subdivision at 62 East Terrace k Attorney Dave Nicholson represented the Blanchards. He said the lot would be served by City water and sewer. The water line has been installed and a manhole can be put in and the sewer run to the lot. The proposed home is somewhat lower in elevation than the one existing on the lot but will have the sa=e setback as others on the street. The duplex is intended to house one of the Blanchard's parents on one side and a young couple on the other side. In order to obtain the 3. PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 13, 1979 proper dimensions and square f ootage, the lot lines are irregular. There will be no garage. Idr. Ewing noted that on July 25, 1974 the Planning Commission gave Mr. Deslauriers approval for 17 lots on East Terrace and one condition of that approval was that construction of any duplexes be approved by the Zoning Board. Mr. Nicholson added that because the lot is in two different zones (R4 and R7), they would need conditional use approval from the 'Zoning Board also. Mr. Mona did not feel inclined to approve a lot with such an irregular line. Mr. Ewing also brought up the question of traffic, noting that the street was narrow at the north.end and that it would be hard for emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks, to get in during an emergency. He did not think Creating more living units on such a long dead-en'd street was a good idea. He also noted that the street contained more than the number of units the Subdivision Regulations say should be on a cul-de-sac. The Regulations call for no more than 50 and he felt the figure was about 64. Mr. Ewing also felt that the intersection of the north end of the street and the jughandle was not safe either and no more units should be added. There was some confusion over setbacks from the irregular lot line and whether the minimum distances were met or, not. I.r. Nicholson felt that two 'additional units on the street would not make the difference between this area being safe or not and Mr. Jacob added that he felt that the situation on East Terrace was created by its residents, who do not want the street opened up so it is no longer a dead-end, and he felt that using the situation to the detriment of someone who warted to move in was not fair. Mr. Ron Schmucker represented owners of 14 of the homes on the street who opposed the plan. He presented the Commission with a petition (see attached copy) signed by more than 58 people. Yr. Poger read the petition. I.r. Schmucker felt the area was developed as single family residences. He also felt the two homes on the lot would be too close together and that the proposal was not good planning. He felt the lot would become undesirable if the proposal were approved. Mr. Gary Mertens felt that if the Commission approved this duplex, there were other lots on the street which could contain duplexes. Presently there are no duplexes on the street, but if the precedent were set, more might be built. Mr. Richard Bingham noted that the City documents supported the concept of protecting the integrity of neighborhoods existing now and he felt that duplexes would change the character of the neighborhood. He said people bought on the street partly because they had covenants which stated that it would be a single family neighborhood. IY;r. Poger asked how the residents would feel if the proposal were for another single family home and Vir. Schmucker felt many of the same problems would exist. The residents did not like that idea either. Messrs. Nicholson and Mona disagreed with the feelings expressed that duplexes are undesirable and tend to drive property values down. ":s. Lillian Charrlin noted, however, that this street was very close to the University and might house several students, all with cars. Pair. t:oolery moved to close the public hearing on the final alat ap,lication of 'aallace and Margaret Blanchard for a 1 lot subdivision at 62 East Terrace. A's. :•ona seconded the motion and none voted no. "Ir. Draper moved that the final plat ap-)lication of Wallace and "argaret Blanchard for a 1 lot subdivision at 62 mast Terrace be denied. ',:r. Ewing seconded the motion. Yr. Mona felt the s:ape of the lot was unnatural and he did not feel the frontage requirements were met. '•.r. Jaccb felt the arguments regarding the cul- de-sac were weak and should nct be used. Yr. Ewing felt the proposal would change 4. PLANNING COMMISSION tiOVEiBER 13, 1979 the character of the neighborhood, did not like the irregular shape of the lot, felt there were safety problems and traffic problems and noted that this would create more than the 50 units called for in the Regulations. Mr. Woolery did not like the=crooked lot lines or the change in the character. Mr. Draper agreed with the above arguments. He agreed with Mr. Jacob that using the cul-de-sac as a defense was not fair, since it was desired by the residents. Xr. Poger did not want to set a precedent for other duplexes on the street and did not want to create another lot on a street which is as long and narrow as this. The motion to deny carried unanimously. blic hearin, on final lat a lication of L.T.H. Associates for a 1 unit ,artment project Windrid e A artments at 200 Kennedy Drive Mr. Poger noted the return of the prodigal son, Steve Page, who tonight wore a "black hat" and represented LTH. ;fir. Page said a landscaping plan had been shown. As many mature hardwoods as possible will be saved. There will be one light in the parking area and some entryway lighting. The City Engineer has asked for more information on storm drainage. I The issue of the sidewalk was discussed and it was noted that the topography of the area was hard to deal with, since the land sloped down from the curb of the road rapidly. The applicant has shown the sidewalk running across about 112 the frontage of the property, but on the west, where there are two large ravines, the walk diverts off the right of way onto private property and contains two wooden footbridges over the ravines and some steps. Kr. Ewing noted that such a sidewalk could not be maintained in the winter. 'r. -Iona was aware that the Natural Resources Committee did not want any filling done, but he wanted to keep the option open anyway. N.r. Page said the amount of fill necessary would depend on how far from the road the sidewalk were constructed. The farther away, the more fill needed. For the fill alone, with 10' between curb and sidewalk, the cost would be almost S10,000. At 5', it would be about m5-7,000. The cost of the sidewalk is about $3,000. The Commission did not like the sidewalk as proposed, and Mr. Mona suggested that a sidewalk 4-5' from the curb over the ravines be considered. It could be the full 10' where fill was not needed. Mr. Page then noted that this sidewalk would not connect to anything on either side and proposed that money be earmarked for sidewalk construction when property to the east or west is developed. If the fill were put in now, it could settle for a while before the City took the money from the escrow account and built the sidewalk. Mr. Poger raised the issues of inflation devaluing the money left for the sidewalk and the issue of a developer selling the property as'condominiums, for example and then disclaiming responsibility to live up to conditions of approval. In the meantime the condominium owners also disclaim responsibility. He asked the Planner to look into stipulations which bar a developer from selling before stipulations are met. Also on that subject, he asked the Commission to consider not approving any development proposed by a developer who has done what is described above, such as ICV, until all stipulations have been met, to the satisfaction of the Commission. A light at the curb cut to the property was suggested, for safety reasons. The emergency access to the adjoining property was shown. It is in the form of an easement. This developer does not want this to be a major access when the rroperty on that side is developed. They show a 30' easement for emergency access with a gate provision to be maintained by others. The access is then available to the next developer. Mr. 'roger said the easement could be there without paving or a gate until the next developer went in, but he felt there should be some cost to this developer. :r. rage felt this site did not need the access and said the next CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON Subdivision Application - SKETCH PLAN 1) Name, address, and phone number of: a.

I have a list of minor modifications which pertain to the legal do currents and can be in- corporated into a motion of approval. #4 Vermont Broadcasting Subdivision All is O.K. #5 Nowland Subdivision I suggest the final plat carry the notation, "Reserved for Future City Street", immediately south of lot #2, to make it perfectly clear to the lot buyer where access to the balance of the land should be located, and where the potential east -west street may go. #6 1 lot subdivision at 162 East Terrace The division of a 1 + acre lot, is proposed to create a.6 acre lot with an existing dwelling on it, and a.4 acre lot (large enough for a duplex). All City services are at the site. The existing dwelling should be plotted on the plan to insure that the new dividing line does not create any non -conforming situations. #7 Site Plan Review, Plywood Ranch The applicant has agreed to improve screening and revise landscaping. The re- visions to the plan will be presented at the meeting. #8 Site Plan Review for former Lake Champlain Motors buildi The building's owners wish to obtain site plan approval for revisions to existing access, parking, and circulation, to serve a future tenant who is as yet un- determined. I assume this is'being done to improve the marketability' of the proposal. Access is substantially improved, through the closing of two old curb cuts on Allen Road, and the installation of a new one farther away from Shelburne Road. Parking is being increased to a total of 42 spaces; circulation is sufficient, although I question the :advisability of the dead end service road to the north of the building. Also, the grading plan doesn't make it clear whether or not fill or surface water will be divertedfi�, the adjoining property to the north. In any event, there should be a site plan review of this property when a particular client has been found. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: David Spitz, City Planner Re: Agenda Items for 11/13/79 Date: 11/9/79 # Blanchard Subdivisiont 162 East Terrace Proposed lot meets zoning requirements for the R4 zone - sufficient lot size for a single family house or duplex, sufficient setbacks from the existing house, and sufficient frontage for both lots. In order to meet these requirements irregular lot lines have been created. The Zoning Board will consider the re- quest for a duplex at their November 26 meeting. #3 WindridQe Apartments at 200 Kennedv Drive The easement to the adjacent property for secondary or emergency access -has been shown on the plat. Legal aspects of the easement should be reviewed. Sidewalks: The Natural Resources Committee has recommended that no filling into the C-0 district take place for purposes of building a sidewalk. Applicant has proposed a peastone footpath with 2 footbridges across the streams to be located outside of the street right-of-way. Because of the footbridges and the steepness of the path at points the City will not be able to maintain the footpath. However, the possibility of an easement for public access with no maintenance reasponsibilities should be reviewed. Watermain layout has been approved. #4 Stonehedge, Phase II Engineering data on individual clusters is incomplete. Certain cluster re- locations may take place if a planned land swap occurs in connection with a recreational grant that the City is seeking. Details on finished building grades, drainage, sewer elevations, walkways and other items will be presented prior to construction of each individual cluster. Roadway status remains to be determined. Applicant requests private, City Manager wants public. Proposed streets are 20' paved width with swails for drainage. Details for the road base are equivalent to public streets. If public streets are required, building setbacks should be addressed. Walkways should be provided throughout the development to the public street in addition to the proposed linkage between buildings and parking lots. Cluster "M" has been relocated to maintain existing trees. Easements for public sewer and water mains should be provided. Review by fire chief is incomplete. #5 McDonalds at 1225 Williston Road City attorney's opinion is that McDonalds' proposed lease of land from the Citgo station will increase the degree of nonconformity of the Citgo lot in violation of the City's zoning regulation. Therefore the City Attorney re- commends denial of the application. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J. Szymanski, City Manager Re: Blanchard Subdivision, East Terrace Date: 11/9/79 I. In order to provide sewer service to this lot, a cut would have to be made in the new street plus ledge removal. It would be my recommendation to install a manhole in the service line serving the existing house and connecting this house to this manhole. An easement will have to be provided to the new lot. 2. I am not in favor of creating such an irregular shaped lot just to get the required square footage.

Deslauriers. It is ray understanding that some of the proposed lots are divided by a boundary line between two zoning districts. it is my recollection that 4z..ie lots have a depth of 140 feet from the proposed street in the R-4 dIA-strict, and an additional 40 feet, which would be in the rear portion of t:ie lots, is in the R-7 district. Single and tiro-faidly dNvellings are pc:ri:?itted in the R-4 district, but only multi -family dwellings in I.T. " -7. If a developer wishes to utilize the lots for two-family dwellings, he would be unable to do so unless the R-7 land were classi- fied as R-4. It appears that Section 13.70 (8) of cur zoning regulations is de•Agned to take care of this type of problen. 17nd,r this Section, the ZoDing Board of Adjust. -lent ray in effect extend the district boundary 1)_nes a maxinum of 50 feet beyond the district line, which in this case would permit the developer to utilize all of the subject property for R--4 purposes. If the developer wishes to construct two-family dwellings can these lots, he should submit an application for a conditional use under Section 13.70 (6) . The only other way the situation can be handled is by amendment to the zoning map, which is a fairly lengthy Process. The Planning CG::z.«ission would also 1:F "Ke further interpretation of 24 'VISA S4415 (5) .

This interpretation, however, may lead to a planning impossibility, and I would prefer to construe the phrase as requiring language in the master plan which in a general sense promotes the esit.ablisiurnent of ne iohLorhood parks. I, therefore, would conclude that the Planning Corrnn ission, in its judg7ent could insist that the subdivision plat dE:pict a pa?- suitably located for recreational purposes, if the Qi'S ignated area does not: exco d TRore than 15% of the entire area of 1--he Plat. In connection with t:he park issue, I uo not feel that the zoning daistrict in which the proposed part, is situated is of any relevance.

Kr. Ron Schmucker represented owners of 14 of the homes on the street who opposed the plan. He presented the Commission with a petition (see attached copy) signed by more than 58 people. Mr. Foger read the petition. Xr. Schmucker felt the area was developed as single family residences. He also felt the two homes on the lot would be too close together and that the proposal was not good planning. He felt the lot would become undesirable if the proposal were approved. Air. Gary Aertens felt that if the Commission approved this duplex, there were other lots on the street which could contain duplexes. Presently there are no duplexes on the street, but if the precedent were set, more might be built. Kr. Richard Bingham noted that the City documents supported the concept of protecting the integrity of neighborhoods existing now and he felt that duplexes would change the character of the neighborhood. He said people bought on the street partly because they had covenants which stated that it would be a single family neighborhood. h:r. Poger asked how the residents would feel if the proposal were for another single family home and :sir. Schmucker felt many of the same problems would exist. The residents did not like that idea either. =:essrs. Nicholson and Mona disagreed with the feelings expressed that duplexes are undesirable and tend to drive property values down. Ms. Lillian Charrlin noted, however, that this street was very close to the University and might house several students, all with cars. I,ir. 'doolery moved to close the public hearing on the final plat ao,;lication of 'Aallace and Xariraret Blanchard for a 1 lot subdivision at 62 East Terrace. ,:r. Iona seconded the motion and none voted no. ;•:r. Draper moved that the final olat ar-)lication of Wallace and ':arparet Blanchard for a 1 lot subdivision at 62 East Terrace be denied. Mr. Ewing; seconded the motion. Xr. Mona felt the shape of the lot was unnatural and he did not feel the frontage requirements were met. Yr. Jacob felt the arguments regarding the cul- de-sac were weak and should r.3t be used. Xr. Ewing felt the proposal would change 4. PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEKBER 13, 1979 the character of the neighborhood, did not like the irregular shape of the lot, felt there were safety problems and traffic problems and noted that this would create more than the 50 units called for in the Regulations. Mr. Woolery did not likethe-crooked lot lines or the change in the character. Mr. Draper agreed with the above arguments. He agreed with Mr. Jacob that using the cul-de-sac as a defense was not fair, since it was desired by the residents. ?:r. roger did not want to set a precedent for other duplexes on the street and did not want to create another lot on a street which is as long and narrow as this. The motion to deny carried unanimously. Public hearing on final plat application of L.T.H. Associates for a 17 unit apartment project Windridge Apartments at 200 Kennedy Drive Mr. Poger noted the return of the prodigal son, Steve Page, who tonight wore a "black hat" and represented LTH. Mr. Page said a landscaping plan had been shown. As many mature h ardwoods as possible will be saved. There will be one light in the parking area and some entryway lighting. The City Engineer has asked for more information on storm drainage. The issue of the sidewalk was discussed and it was noted that the topography of the area was hard to deal with, since the land sloped down from the curb of the road rapidly. The applicant has shown the sidewalk running across about 112 the frontage of the property, but on the west, where there are two large ravines, the walk diverts off the right of way onto private property and contains two wooden footbridges over the ravines and some steps. Kr. Ewing noted that such a sidewalk could not be maintained in the winter. ;:r. Iona was aware that the Natural Resources Committee did not want any filling done, but he wanted to keep the option open anyway. Mr. Page said the amount of fill necessary would depend on how far from the road the sidewalk were constructed. The farther away, the more fill needed. For the fill alone, with 10' between curb and sidewalk, the cost would be almost 810,000. At 5', it would be about �5-7,000. The cost of the sidewalk is about $3,000. The Commission did not like the sidewalk as proposed, and Mr. Mona suggested that a sidewalk 4-5' from the curb over the ravines be considered. It could be the full 10' where fill was not needed. Mr. Page then noted that this sidewalk would not connect to anything on either side and proposed that money be earmarked for sidewalk construction when property to the east or west is developed. If the fill were put in now, it could settle for a while before the City took the money from the escrow account and built the sidewalk. Mr. Poger raised the issues of inflation devaluing the money left for the sidewalk and the issue of a developer selling the property as condominiums, for example and then disclaiming responsibility to live up to conditions of approval. In the meantime the condominium owners also disclaim responsibility. He asked the Planner to look into stipulations which bar a developer from selling before stipulations are met. Also on that subject, he asked the Commission to consider not approving any development proposed by a developer who has done what is described above, such as ICV, until all stipulations have been met, to the satisfaction of the Commission. A light at the curb cut to the property was suggested, for safety reasons. The emergency access to the adjoining property was shown. It is in the form of an easement. This developer does not want this to be a major access when the iroperty on that side is developed. They show a 30' easement for emergency access with a gate provision to be maintained by others. The access is then available to the next developer. Mr. Poger said the easement could be there without paving or a gate until the next developer went in, but he felt there should be some cost to this developer. :-ir. rage felt this site did not need the access and said the next . t LAW OFFICES OF EWING & SPOKES 86 ST.

It is my understanding that sore of the proposed lots are divided by a ho andary line between two zoning districts. it is my recollection that tie lots have a depth of 140 feet from the proposed street in the R-4 aj'•,.tr_ict, and an additional 40 feet, which �^ould be in the rear portion of tao lots, is in the -7 district. Single and two-faru.ly dwellings are narmitted in the R-4 district, but only multi-faidly e1 ellings in t;lo -7. If a developer %fishes to utilize the lots for two-family 6i7ellings, he would be unable to do so unless the 1:-7 land were classi- fied. as R-4. It appears that Section 13.70 (8) of cur zoning regulations is designed to take care of this type of problem. Under this Section, the coning board of Adjustment may in effect extend the district boundary lines a naximu^I of 50 feet beyond the district line, which in this case Mould permit the developer to utilize all of the subject property for R•4 purposes. If the developer wishes to construct two-family dwellings on these lots, he should submit an application for a conditional use under Section 13.70 (8) . only other vay the situation can be handled is by a:iendhnent -o the zoning nap, N.hich is a fairly lengthy process. The Planning Cc,=ission would also like further interpretation 0.`24 ` SA ;4415 (5) . The language in question reads: `That where indicated by the pia_n, the plot shall choir a park or parks suitably located for playground or other ccrcatf_on _3urrof ':s f if the arc -as so recj r:'d G'o not c.-:ce:: d I ._rre than 1 3' o.J!' the area T"ne lar.gacc: ": iz=re indicated by pizn" sec::s to require t the parrs bedepicted on the land us-e rap i= cor: eratcd in the Nrl williaz J.

This interpretation, however, may lead to a planning impossibility, and I would prefer to construe the phrase as requiring language in the master plan which in a general sense promotes the establishl-,ent of nci,7hrorhood parks. I, therefore, would conclude that .the Pl_nning Cora:'ssion, in its judcpent could insist that the subdivision plat depict a park- suitably located for recreational purposes, if the de.si.gnated area does not exceed more+ than 15% of the entire area of the plat. In connection with the park issue, I i-o not feel that the zoning -Astrict in ,.hick the proposed park is situated is of any relevance. Section 13.70 of our zoning regulations indicates that all territory anne::ed to the City for park and recreation use shall be considered within the perk and recreation district. :he other concerns of the Planning Ce:raa scion in cor_stru n.g the language of 24 VSn §4415 (5) are sufficiently ccverad in Opinion No. 35, which is dated October 9, 1973.

It would be my recommendation to install a manhole in the service line serving the existing house and connecting this house to this manhole. An easement will have to be provided to the new lot. 2. I am not in favor of creating such an irregular shaped lot just to get the required square footage.
