PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sketch plan application #SD-16-36 of City of Burlington/Burlington International Airport to place 228,000
cubic yards of fill in the former quarry on the airport property, 1200 Airport Drive.
COMMENTS
Development Review Planner Lindsey Britt and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, hereafter referred to
as Staff, have reviewed the plans submitted by the applicant and have the following comments.
Alteration of Existing Grade
A permit is needed for the placing of fill on land when the amount is equal to or greater than 20 cubic
yards except when incidental to or in connection with the construction of a structure on the same lot.
When the grade is being altered site plans must show the area to be filled or removed and the existing
grade and the proposed grade created by removal or addition of material. The applicant submitted the
document "Proposed Grading Plan," which shows the grade of the land before and after the application
of 228,000 cubic yards of fill. Staff considers this criterion to be met.
Staff received the following comment from Public Works in an email dated January 3, 2017:
As long as there are no easements or utility lines under this proposed area (perhaps the applicant could
stipulate as much)1 am ok with these plans.
Staff received confirmation from the applicant in an email dated January 3, 2017 that there are no
known easements or utilities within the area where the fill is to be placed.
Staff also received the following comment from the Champlain Water District in an email dated January
9, 2017:
CWD's High Service 2 (HS2) transmission main runs along the east side of the quarry as shown on the
attached plan. We contacted Jon Leinwohl of Stantec and confirmed that our transmission main is most
likely outside the quarry fill work area. Given the proximity of the work to our main, we have the
following comments:
1. CWD's HS2 transmission main should be shown on the quarry fill plans to document its location
relative to the proposed work.
2. BTV should request CWD mark out the transmission main in the field prior the start of the filling
operation.
3. BTV notify CWD when the filling operation begins and when it is completed.
1. Staff recommends the Board support the comments of the Champlain Water District by
requesting the applicant include the HS2 transmission main on future plan submittals.
Other Issues
2
The applicant is proposing to move 228,000 cubic yards of fill. Staff considers that it will take thousands
of truck trips to move that amount of fill. It appears those trips will all be made on site; however, staff
considers that this should be confirmed with the applicant, because if the trips will occur on and off site
then this would represent a considerable impact on South Burlington roads.
2. Staff recommends the Board confirm with the applicant that the truck trips needed for placing
the fill will occur on the applicant's site.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board discuss the project with the applicant and close the hearing.
