The proposed project will not alter the current water supply or wastewater disposal capacity for the subject properties. Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. This criterion is not applicable to the proposed project, as no construction is proposed. The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. The proposed project will not alter the means of access or circulation on the subject properties, nor will it create a need for additional traffic mitigation measures on the subject properties. The project's design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on the site. The proposed project only involves a boundary line adjustment, so wetland impacts are not an issue. The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in which it is located. This criterion is not applicable to the proposed project. Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas. The proposed boundary line adjustment will not impact the open space areas on the subject properties. The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or (designee) to ensure that adequate fire protection can be provided. This project does not require the approval of the South Burlington Fire Chief. Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners. The proposed boundary line adjustment will not impact the extension of any of the roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, or lighting serving these properties. Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards. The proposed boundary line adjustment will not impact the maintenance of any roads, recreation paths, sidewalks, or lighting serving the properties. However, the 15' strip included in the proposed boundary line adjustment will encroach into a sewer easement that hosts a sewer force main. The City Engineer reviewed the plans and provided comments in a memorandum dated May 6, 2004. He requested that retaining walls and large vegetation be prohibited within this easement. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). The proposed boundary line adjustment is in conformance with the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan.
